Iosua 3
1 KU ae la o Iosua i kakahiaka, a hele aku la, mai Sitima aku, a hiki aku la i Ioredane, oia, a me na mamo a pau a Iseraela, a malaila lakou i hoomoana'i mamua o ko lakou hele ana ae i kela kapa.
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.
2 Eia hoi kekahi, i ka pau ana o na la ekolu, hele ae la na luna mawaena o ka poe kanaka;
And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days, that the authorities pass over into the midst of the camp,
3 Kauoha mai la ia lakou, i mai la, A ike oukou i ka pahuberita a Iehova a ko oukou Akua, a me ka poe kahuna na Levi e amo ana ia mea; alaila oukou e haalele ai i ko oukou wahi, a e hahai maumuli o ia mea.
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;
4 I wahi kaawale hoi mawaena o ia mea a me oukou, i elua tausani kubita paha ka loihi. Mai hookokoke aku, i ike oukou i ke ala a oukou e hele ai; no ka mea, akahi no oukou a hele i keia ala.
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.'
5 Olelo mai la o Iosua i na kanaka, E huikala oukou ia oukou iho; no ka mea, apopo e hana mai no o Iehova i na mea kupanaha iwaena o oukou.
And Joshua saith unto the people, 'Sanctify yourselves, for to-morrow doth Jehovah do in your midst wonders.'
6 Olelo mai la o Iosua i na kahuna, i mai la, E hapai i ka pahuberita, a e hele ae imua o na Kanaka. Hapai ae la lakou i ka pahuberita, hele aku la imua o na kanaka.
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.
7 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, I keia la no, e hoomaka au i ka hookiekie ia oe imua o ka Iseraela a pau, i ike lakou i ko'u noho pu ana me oe, e like me a'u i noho pu ai me Mose.
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;
8 E kauoha aku oe i na kahuna, i ka poe halihali i ka pahuberita, e i aku, A hiki oukou ma ka lihiwai o Ioredane, e ku malie oukou maloko o Ioredane.
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.'
9 Olelo mai la o Iosua i na mamo a Iseraela, E neenee mai oukou, a e hoolohe i na olelo a Iehova a ko oukou Akua.
And Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Come nigh hither, and hear the words of Jehovah your God;
10 I mai la o Iosua, Eia ka mea e ike ai oukou i ka noho pu ana o ke Akua ola me oukou, a e oiaio no, e kipaku aku ia mamua o oukou i ka Kanaana, a me ka Heta, a me ka Heva, a me ka Pereza, a me ka Giregasa, a me ka Amora, a me ka Iebusa.
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:
11 Aia hoi, ke hele ae nei ka pahuberita a ka Haku o ka honua a pau, mamua o oukou iloko o Ioredane.
lo, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is passing over before you into Jordan;
12 E lawe hoi oukou, no oukou, i umi kanaka a me kumamalua, mailoko mai o na ohana a Iseraela, pakahi ke kanaka i ka ohana hookahi.
and now, take for you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man — one man for a tribe;
13 A hiki i ka wa e hoomaha ai maloko o ka wai o Ioredane na kapuwai o ka poe kahuna nana e lawe ka pahu o Iehova, ka Haku o ka honua a pau; alaila, e hookaawaleia na wai o Ioredane, o na wai e kahe ana mailuna mai, a e ku no iluna me he puu la.
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.'
14 Pela io no, i ka wa i hele aku ai na kanaka, mai ko lakou wahi aku i hoomoana'i, e hele i kela kapa o Ioredane, a hapai ka poe kahuna i ka pahuberita imua o na kanaka.
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,
15 A hiki ka poe i halihali i ka pahu i Ioredane, a komo na wawae o na kahuna, ka poe i halihali i ka pahu ma ka lihiwai, (no ka mea, i ka manawa e oo ai ka ai, ua halana o Ioredane maluna o kona kapa a pau, )
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) —
16 Alaila, ku malie no na wai i kahe maluna mai, a pii aku la, a lilo i puu loihi loa a hiki wale aku i ke kulanakauhale i Adama, e pili ana i Zaretana: a o ka wai i kahe ma ke kai o ka papu, oia hoi ka moanakai, moku iho la ia a maloo; a hele aku la na kanaka i kela kapa, ma ke alo o Ieriko.
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;
17 Ku malie iho la na kahuna, ka poe lawe i ka pahuberita o Iehova, ma kahi maloo, mawaena o Ioredane, a hele ka Iseraela a pau ma ka aina maloo, a pau loa ia Iahuikanaka i ka hala i kela kapa o Ioredane.
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.
