Joshua 3
1 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and they journey from Shittim, and come in unto the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodge there before they pass over.
Gokinyi mangʼich Joshua kod jo-Israel duto nowuok koa Shitim, mi gidhi nyaka e aora Jordan, negibiro kanyo kapok giidho loka.
2 And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days, that the authorities pass over into the midst of the camp,
Bangʼ ndalo adek jotelo nowuotho e kuonde kambi duto,
3 and command the people, saying, 'When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then ye journey from your place, and have gone after it;
ka gimiyogi chike niya, “Ka uneno ka Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, otingʼ gi jodolo, ma jo-Lawi, to nyaka uwuog oko e kuonde muchungʼie mondo uluwe.
4 only, a distance is between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; ye do not come near unto it, so that ye know the way in which ye go, for ye have not passed over in the way heretofore.'
Bangʼe ubiro ngʼeyo yo mudhiyoe, nikech ne pok uluwo yorni nyaka nene. Makmana, beduru mochwalore gi sandugno, madirom fut alufu ariyo mia ochiko gi piero abich gadek; kendo kik usud machiegni kode.”
5 And Joshua saith unto the people, 'Sanctify yourselves, for to-morrow doth Jehovah do in your midst wonders.'
Joshua nokone oganda Israel niya, “Pwodhreuru, nikech kiny Jehova Nyasaye biro timo gigo miwuoro e kindu.”
6 And Joshua speaketh unto the priests, saying, 'Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people;' and they take up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people.
Joshua nowachone jodolo niya, “Kawuru Sandug Muma mar singruok kendo utel kode e nyim ji.” Omiyo ne gikawe mi gidhi nyimgi.
7 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'This day I begin to make thee great in the eyes of all Israel, so that they know that as I was with Moses I am with thee;
Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Kawuono abiro tingʼi malo e wangʼ jo-Israel duto, eka ginyalo ngʼeyo ni An kodi mana kaka ne an gi Musa.
8 and thou, thou dost command the priests bearing the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye come unto the extremity of the waters of the Jordan — in the Jordan ye stand.'
Nyis jodolo matingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok ni, ‘Ka uchopo e geng pige mag aora Jordan, to dhiuru kendo uchungʼ ei aora.’”
9 And Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Come nigh hither, and hear the words of Jehovah your God;
Joshua nowachone jo-Israel niya, “Biuru kae kendo uchik itu ne weche Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.
10 and Joshua saith, 'By this ye know that the living God [is] in your midst, and He doth certainly dispossess from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite:
Kawuononi ubiro neno ranyisi ni Nyasaye mangima nikodu kendo enoriemb e nyimu jo-Kanaan, jo-Hiti, jo-Hivi, jo-Perizi, jo-Girgash, jo-Amor kod jo-Jebus.
11 lo, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is passing over before you into Jordan;
Ne, Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto biro dhi nyimu nyaka aora Jordan.
12 and now, take for you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man — one man for a tribe;
Koro omiyo, yier ji apar gariyo koa e dhout Israel, ngʼato achiel koa e dhoot ka dhoot.
13 and it hath been, at the resting of the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of Jehovah, Lord of all the earth, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan are cut off — the waters which are coming down from above — and they stand — one heap.'
E sa ma jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma en Ruoth Nyasaye mar piny duto, nonyon aora Jordan, pige-ge mamol koluwo aora tir nochungʼ kogingore ka pith.”
14 And it cometh to pass, in the journeying of the people from their tents to pass over the Jordan, and of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,
Omiyo ka ji noke oa e kambi mag-gi mondo gingʼad aora Jordan, jodolo motingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok notelo nyimgi.
15 and at those bearing the ark coming in unto the Jordan, and the feet of the priests bearing the ark have been dipped in the extremity of the waters (and the Jordan is full over all its banks all the days of harvest) —
Aora Jordan koro notimo ataro kuonde duto nyaka ndalo mag keyo. Omiyo ka jodolo mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok nochopo e aora Jordan mi tiendegi omulo geng aora,
16 that the waters stand; those coming down from above have risen — one heap, very far above Adam the city, which [is] at the side of Zaretan; and those going down by the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea, have been completely cut off; and the people have passed through over-against Jericho;
pige mane mol koa malo nochungʼ. Nogingore malo kaka pith, e dala miluongo ni Adam man but Zarethan. Pi mane mol kadhi e nam mar Araba (ma tiende ni Nam Chumbi) nochungʼ chuth, omiyo ji nongʼado modhi loka komachielo, momanyore gi Jeriko.
17 and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stand on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan — established, and all Israel are passing over on dry ground till that all the nation hath completed to pass over the Jordan.
Jodolo mane otingʼo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye nochungʼ motegno e lowo motwo e dier aora Jordan, nyaka ogendini mag jo-Israel notieko kadho ka giwuotho e lowo motwo.
