< Joshua 3 >

1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni hundinuu ganama barii Shixiim keessaa baʼanii gara Laga Yordaanos dhufan. Utuu gamatti hin ceʼin duras achi qubatan.
2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
Bultii sadii booddee ajajjoonni loltootaa qubata keessa dedeemanii,
3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
akkana jedhanii namoota ajajan: “Isin yommuu taabota kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitii fi Lewwota luboota taʼan isaanii taaboticha baatan argitanitti iddoo keessanii kaatanii taaboticha faana buʼuu qabdu.
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near to it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed [this] way heretofore.
Isin sababii duraan karaa kanaan hin darbiniif, karaa deemuun isinii malu ni beektu. Garuu isinii fi taaboticha gidduutti gargari fageenya gara dhundhuma kuma lama hambisaa; ittis hin dhiʼaatinaa.”
5 And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to-morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
Iyyaasuunis uummataan, “Of qulqulleessaa; Waaqayyo bor gidduu keessanitti wantoota dinqisiisaa ni hojjetaatii” jedhe.
6 And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Iyyaasuunis lubootaan, “Taabota kakuu fuudhaatii uummata dura darbaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu isaan taaboticha fuudhanii uummata dura darban.
7 And the LORD said to Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee.
Waaqayyos Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe; “Akka isaan akka ani akkuman Musee wajjin ture sana si wajjin jiru beekaniif, ani harʼa fuula Israaʼeloota hundaa duratti nama guddaa si gochuu nan jalqaba.
8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye have come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
Atis luboota taabota kakuu baataniin, ‘Isin yommuu qarqara bishaan Yordaanos geessanitti, dhaqaatii laga keessa dhadhaabadhaa’ jedhi.”
9 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
Iyyaasuunis Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhe; “As kottaatii dubbii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dhagaʼaa.
10 And Joshua said, By this ye shall know that the living God [is] among you, and [that] he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
Akki isin itti akka Waaqni jiraataan gidduu keessan jiruu fi akka inni dhugumaan Kanaʼaanota, Heetota, Hiiwota, Feerzota, Girgaashota, Amoorotaa fi Yebuusota fuula keessan duraa ariʼee baasu beektan kanaa dha.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
Kunoo, taabonni kakuu Gooftaa lafa hundumaa isin duraan Yordaanos ni seena.
12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
Kanaafuu amma gosoota Israaʼel keessaa nama kudha lama jechuunis tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa nama tokko tokko filadhaa.
13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, [that] the waters of Jordan shall be cut off [from] the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in a heap.
Akkuma luboonni taabota Waaqayyo Gooftaa lafa hundaa baatan miilla isaanii Yordaanos keessa seensisaniin, bishaan isaa kan gubbaadhaa gad yaaʼu ni cita; tuulamees ol dhaabata.”
14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
Kanaaf yommuu namoonni laga Yordaanos ceʼuuf qubata isaanii keessaa baʼanitti, luboonni taabota kakuu baatanii isaan dura darbanii deeman.
15 And as they that bore the ark had come to Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest, )
Yeroo midhaan galfamu hunda lagni Yordaanos guutee irra dhangalaʼa. Taʼus akkuma luboonni taaboticha baatan Yordaanos gaʼanii miilli isaanii qarqara bishaanii tuqeen,
16 That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up in a heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan; and those that came down towards the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
bishaan burqaa oliitii dhufu yaaʼuu dhiise. Iddoo magaalaa Addaam jedhamu kan Zaaretaan biraa sana irraa fagaatee tuulamee dhaabate; bishaan gara Galaana Arabbaatti yookaan Galaana soogiddaatti gad yaaʼus guutumaan guutuutti cite. Kanaafuu namoonni fuullee Yerikootiin gara gamaatti ceʼan.
17 And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had passed quite over Jordan.
Yeroo Israaʼeloonni hundi darbaa turanitti luboonni taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baatan sun hamma sabni guutumaan guutuutti lafa goggogaa irra ceʼutti walakkaa Yordaanos keessa qajeelanii lafa goggogaa irra dhaabatan.
