Jozye 3
1 Josué te leve bonè nan maten. Li menm avèk tout fis Israël yo te kite Sittim pou te rive nan Jourdain an, e yo te fè kan avan yo te travèse.
And he rose early Joshua in the morning and they set out from Shittim and they came to the Jordan he and all [the] people Israel and they stayed there before they passed over.
2 Nan fen twa jou, ofisye yo te pase nan mitan kan an.
And it was from [the] end of three days and they passed the officers in [the] midst of the camp.
3 Yo te kòmande pèp la e te di: “Lè nou wè lach akò SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk prèt Levit yo k ap pote li, alò, nou va sòti nan plas nou pou swiv li.
And they commanded the people saying when see you [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh God your and the priests the Levites carrying it and you you will set out from place your and you will go behind it.
4 Sepandan, va gen antre nou ak li yon distans anviwon de mil koude (3,000 pye) pa mezi. Pa vin pi prè li, pou nou kapab konnen chemen ke nap pran, paske nou pa t janm fè wout sa a avan.”
Nevertheless - a distance it will be between you (and between it *Q(k)*) about two thousand cubit[s] by measurement may not you draw near to it so that that you may know the way which you will go in it for not you have passed in the way from yesterday three days ago.
5 Konsa, Josué te di a pèp la: “Konsakre tèt nou; paske demen SENYÈ a va fè mèvèy yo nan mitan nou.”
And he said Joshua to the people consecrate yourselves for tomorrow he will do Yahweh in midst your wonders.
6 Josué te pale avèk prèt yo e te di: “Vin leve lach akò a pou travèse lòtbò a avan pèp la.”
And he said Joshua to the priests saying lift up [the] ark of the covenant and pass over before the people and they lifted up [the] ark of the covenant and they went before the people.
7 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Jou sa a, Mwen va kòmanse egzalte ou nan zye tout Israël la, pou yo kapab konnen ke menm jan ke M te avèk Moïse la, Mwen va avèk ou.
And he said Yahweh to Joshua the day this I will begin to make great you in [the] eyes of all Israel that they will know! that just as I was with Moses I will be with you.
8 Anplis, ou va kòmande prèt k ap pote lach akò a e di yo: ‘Lè nou rive arebò dlo yo nan Jourdain an, nou va rete kanpe nan dlo Jourdain an.’”
And you you will command the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the covenant saying when come you to [the] edge of [the] waters of the Jordan in the Jordan you will stand still.
9 Konsa, Josué te di a fis Israël yo: “Vin la pou koute pawòl a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.”
And he said Joshua to [the] people of Israel draw near hither and hear [the] words of Yahweh God your.
10 Josué te di: “Pa sa nou va konnen ke Bondye vivan an pami nou e ke Li va, anverite, deplase soti devan nou Kananeyen an, Etyen an, Evyen an, Ferezyen an, Gigazyen an, Amoreyen an ak Jebizyen an.
And he said Joshua by this you will know! that God living [is] in midst your and certainly he will dispossess from before you the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
11 Gade byen, lach akò SENYÈ a tout latè a ap travèse devan nou antre nan Jourdain an.
Here! [the] ark of the covenant [the] lord of all the earth [is] about to pass on before you in the Jordan.
12 “Alò, pou sa, pran pou nou menm douz mesye soti nan tribi Israël la, yon nonm pou chak tribi.
And therefore take for yourselves two [plus] ten man from [the] tribes of Israel a man one a man one to the tribe.
13 Li va rive ke lè pla pye a prèt ki pote lach SENYÈ a, SENYÈ tout latè a, poze nan dlo a Jourdain an, dlo Jourdain an va koupe, e dlo k ap kouri desann soti anwo yo va rete fè yon pil.”
And it will be when rest [the] soles of [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of Yahweh [the] lord of all the earth in [the] waters of the Jordan [the] waters of the Jordan they will be cut off! the waters that are coming down from to above so they may stand a heap one.
14 Pou sa, lè pèp la kite tant pa yo pou travèse Jourdain an avèk prèt k ap pote lach akò a devan pèp la,
And it was when set out the people from tents their to pass over the Jordan and the priests [the] bearers of the ark the covenant before the people.
15 epi lè sila ki te pote lach la te antre nan Jourdain an, epi depi pye a prèt k ap pote lach la te tanmen fonse bò dlo a; (paske Jourdain an toujou depase rivaj li yo pandan tout sezon rekòlt la),
And just as came [the] bearers of the ark to the Jordan and [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of the ark they were dipped in [the] edge of the waters and the Jordan it is full over all banks its all [the] days of harvest.
16 dlo ki t ap kouri desann soti anwo yo te kanpe, e te leve wo fè yon pil, a yon gran distans de la, nan Adam, vil ki akote Tsarthan an; epi dlo sa yo ki t ap kouri desann vè lanmè Araba a, ak Lamè Sale a, te vin koupe nèt. Konsa pèp la te travèse anfas Jéricho.
And they stood the waters which came down from to above they rose a heap one far away very (from Adam *Q(K)*) the city which [is] from [the] side of Zarethan and which went down to [the] sea of the Arabah [the] Sea of Salt they were complete they were cut off and the people they passed over before Jericho.
17 Prèt yo ki t ap pote lach akò SENYÈ a te kanpe fèm sou tè sèk nan mitan Jourdain an pandan tout Israël t ap travèse sou tè sèk, jiskaske tout nasyon an te fin travèse Jourdain an.
And they stood the priests [the] bearers of the ark [the] covenant of Yahweh on the dry ground in [the] middle of the Jordan firmly and all Israel [were] passing over on the dry ground until that they had finished all the nation to pass over the Jordan.
