Joshua 3
1 Therfor Josue roos bi nyyt, and mouede tentis; and thei yeden out of Sechym, and camen to Jordan, he and alle the sones of Israel, and dwelliden there thre daies.
Urani Jošua i sa svim sinovima Izraelovim krene od Šitima. I stignu do Jordana pa ondje prije prelaza prenoće.
2 And whanne tho daies weren passid, crieris yeden thorouy the myddis of tentis,
Poslije tri dana prođu starješine kroz tabor i zapovjede puku:
3 and bigunnen to crie, Whanne ye seen the arke of boond of pees of youre Lord God, and the preestis of the generacioun of Leuy berynge it, also rise ye, and sue the biforgoeris;
“Čim ugledate Kovčeg saveza Jahve, Boga vašega, i svećenike levite koji ga nose, krenite svi sa svoga mjesta i pođite za njim.
4 and a space of twey thousynde cubitis be bitwixe you and the arke, that ye moun se fer, and knowe bi what weie ye schulen entre, for ye `yeden not bifore bi it; and be ye war, that ye neiye not to the arke.
Tako ćete znati put kojim vam je ići, jer tim putem još nikada niste išli. Ali između vas i Kovčega neka bude razmak do dvije tisuće lakata. I da mu se niste približili.”
5 And Josue seide to the puple, Be ye halewid, for to morew the Lord schal make merueilis among you.
A Jošua zapovjedi narodu: “Posvetite se za sutra, jer će sutra Jahve učiniti čudesa među vama.”
6 And Josue seide to the preestis, Take ye the arke of the boond of pees `of the Lord, and go ye bifor the puple. Whiche filliden the heestis, and tooken the arke, and yeden bifor hem.
A svećenicima Jošua zapovjedi: “Dignite Kovčeg saveza i nosite ga pred narodom.” I digoše Kovčeg saveza i poniješe ga pred narodom.
7 And the Lord seide to Josue, To dai Y schal bigynne to enhaunse thee bifor al Israel, that thei wite, that as Y was with Moises, so Y am also with thee.
Jahve reče Jošui: “Danas te počinjem uzvisivati pred očima svega Izraela, neka znaju da sam s tobom kao što bijah s Mojsijem.
8 Forsothe comaunde thou to preestis, that beren the arke of bond of pees, and seie thou to hem, Whanne ye han entrid in to a part of the watir of Jordan, stonde ye therynne.
Ti pak zapovjedi svećenicima koji nose Kovčeg saveza:' Kada stignete do voda jordanskih, u Jordanu se samom zaustavite.'”
9 And Josue seide to the sones of Israel, Neiye ye hidur, and here ye the word of youre Lord God.
Tada reče Jošua Izraelcima: “Priđite i čujte riječi Jahve, Boga svojega.”
10 And eft he seide, In this ye schulen wite that the Lord God lyuynge is in the myddis of you; and he schal distrye in youre siyt Cananey, Ethei, Euey, and Feresei, and Gergesei, and Jebusei, and Amorrei.
I reče Jošua: “Po ovomu ćete spoznati da je među vama Bog živi: on će goniti ispred vas Kanaance, Hetite, Hivijce, Perižane, Girgašane, Amorejce i Jebusejce.
11 Lo! the arke of boond of pees of the Lord of al erthe schal go bifor you thorouy Jordan.
Evo, Kovčeg saveza Gospodara sve zemlje proći će pred vama preko Jordana.
12 Make ye redi twelue men of the twelue lynagis of Israel, bi ech lynage o man.
Izaberite odmah dvanaest ljudi iz plemena Izraelovih, po jednoga iz svakoga plemena.
13 And whanne the preestis, that beren the arke of boond of pees of the Lord God of al erthe, han set the steppis of her feet in the watris of Jordan, the watris that ben lowere schulen renne doun, and schulen faile; forsothe the watris that comen fro aboue schulen stonde togidere in o gobet.
Čim stopala svećenika koji nose Kovčeg Jahve, Gospodara sve zemlje, stupe u Jordan, razdijelit će se voda Jordana, i ona što teče odozgo ustavit će se kao nasip.'”
14 Therfor the puple yede out of her tabernaclis to passe Jordan; and the preestis that baren the arke of boond of pees yeden bifor the puple.
Kad je narod krenuo iz svojih šatora da prijeđe preko Jordana, ponesu svećenici Kovčeg saveza pred njim.
15 And whanne the preestis entriden in to Jordan, and her feet weren dippid in the part of watir; forsothe Jordan `hadde fillid the brynkis of his trow in the tyme of `ripe corn;
A kad su nosači Kovčega stigli do Jordana i kada su svećenici koji su nosili Kovčeg zagazili u vodu na obali - a bilo je vrijeme žetve kad se Jordan prelijeva preko svojih obala -
16 the watris yeden doun, and stoden in o place, and wexiden grete at the licnesse of an hil, and apperiden fer fro the citee that was clepid Edom, `til to the place of Sarthan; sotheli the watris that weren lowere yeden doun in to the see of wildirnesse, which is now clepid the deed see, `til the watris failiden outirli.
voda što je tekla odozgo daleko se, poput nasipa, ustavila kod grada Adame, koji se nalazi kraj Sartana; a voda što je otjecala dolje u Arabsko ili Slano more sasvim je otekla i narod je prelazio prema Jerihonu.
17 Forsothe the puple yede thorouy Jordan; and the preestis, that baren the arke of the boond of pees of the Lord, stoden gird on the drie erthe in the myddis of Jordan, and al the puple passide thorouy the drie trow.
Svećenici koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina stajahu na suhu usred Jordana i prelažaše Izrael po suhu sve dok sav narod ne prijeđe preko rijeke.
