Joshua 3
1 Joshua got up early in the morning, and they set out from Shittim. They came to the Jordan, he and all the people of Israel, and they camped there before they crossed over.
Toang na ke len tok ah, Joshua ac mwet Israel nukewa elos tuyak ac fahsr liki acn elos muta we in acn Shittim, ac som nu Infacl Jordan. Elos tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos we ac tupan pacl in som lalos.
2 After three days, the officers went through the middle of the camp;
Len tolu toko, mwet kol lalos elos fahsr sasla lohm nuknuk nukewa
3 they commanded the people, “When you see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and the priests from the Levites carrying it, you must leave this place and follow it.
ac fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Pacl se na kowos liye mwet tol su mwet Levi srukak Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD ac fahsr, na kowos lumwani lohm nuknuk suwos ac fahsr tokolos.
4 There must be a distance between you and it of about two thousand cubits. Do not come close to it, so that you can see which way to go, since you have not gone this way before.”
Acn inge sasu nu suwos, ke ma inge elos ac fah akkalemye inkanek lowos an. Tusruktu kowos in tia fahsr apkuran nu ke Tuptup in Wuleang. Kowos in fahsr ke lusen tafun mael toko.”
5 Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves tomorrow, for Yahweh will do wonders among you.”
Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos in akmutalye kowos mweyen lutu LEUM GOD El fah oru ku sakirik lal inmasrlowos.”
6 Then Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass in front of the people.” So they picked up the ark of the covenant and went in front of people.
Ac Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet tol, “Srukak Tuptup in Wuleang ac us fahsr meet liki mwet uh.” Na elos oru oana el fahk.
7 Yahweh said to Joshua, “This day I will make you a great man in the eyes of all Israel. They will know that as I was with Moses, I will be with you.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Ke mwet Israel nukewa elos liye ma nga fah oru misenge, elos ac fah mutawauk in akfulatye kom ac akilen lah nga muta yurum oana nga tuh muta yorol Moses.
8 You will command the priests who carry the ark of the covenant, 'When you have come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you must stand still in the Jordan River.'”
Kom in fahk nu sin mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang tuh ke elos sun infacl soko ah, elos in tui wekof uh.”
9 Then Joshua said to the people of Israel, “Come here, and listen to the words of Yahweh your God.
Na Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Fahsru ac lohng kas lun LEUM GOD lowos.
10 By this you will know that the living God is among you and will drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
Ke kowos ac fahla, God El ac fah lusak mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Hiv, mwet Periz, mwet Girgas, mwet Amor ac mwet Jebus. Na kowos fah etu lah God moul El muta inmasrlowos
11 Look! The ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth crosses over ahead of you into the Jordan.
ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun faclu nufon ac fah fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan meet liki kowos.
12 Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from each.
Ke ma inge kowos sulela mwet singoul luo, kais sie ke sruf singoul luo lun Israel.
13 When the soles of the feet of the priests that carry the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, touch the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, and even the waters that flow down from upstream will stop flowing and they will stand in one heap.”
Ke pacl se nien mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lun faclu nufon fah pusralla Infacl Jordan, na kof uh ac tui insacn, ac kof ma tuku lucng me uh ac fah lapak oana fulatan soko eol.”
14 So when the people set out to cross over the Jordan, the priests that carried the ark of the covenant went ahead of the people.
Ouinge ke mwet uh lumwani lohm nuknuk selos ac akola in fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan, mwet tol elos fahsr meet ac us Tuptup in Wuleang.
15 As soon as those who were carrying the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of those who carried the chest were dipped in the edge of the water (now the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of the harvest),
Ke pacl in kosrani uh, pacl in sronot lun Infacl Jordan. Na ke pacl se nien mwet su us Tuptup in Wuleang sun kof uh,
16 the waters that flowed down from upstream stood up in one heap. The water stopped flowing from a great distance. The waters stopped flowing from Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan, all the way down to the sea of the Negev, the Salt Sea. The people crossed over near Jericho.
kof ma tuku lucng ah me tui ac lapak oana fulatan soko eol, nwakla acn uh nwe sun siti srisrik Adam su oan sisken siti Zarethan. Na kof ma soror nu ten nu in Meoa Misa lisr na pwaye, pwanang mwet uh elos ku in fahsr sasla infacl soko ah apkuranyang nu Jericho.
17 The priests that carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan until all the people of Israel crossed over on dry ground.
Ac mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD elos tu in acn pao infulwen infacl ah nwe ke na mwet nukewa sroak liki infacl ah nu finmes uh.
