Josue 3
1 Nasapa iti bigat a bimmangon ni Josue, ket nagrubwatda manipud idiay Settim. Dimmanonda idiay Jordan, isuna ken amin a tattao ti Israel, ket nagkampoda sadiay sakbay a bimmallasiwda.
Early the next morning Joshua got up and left Shittim with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over.
2 Kalpasan iti tallo nga aldaw, napan dagiti opisyal idiay tengnga ti kampo;
After three days the officers went through the camp
3 imbilinda kadagiti tattao, “Inton makitayo ti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh a Diosyo, ken aw-awiten daytoy dagiti padi a naggapu kadagiti Levita, masapul a pumanawkayo iti daytoy a lugar ket surotenyo ti lakasa ti tulag.
and commanded the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God being carried by the Levitical priests, you are to set out from your positions and follow it.
4 Masapul a dua ribu a kasiko ti nagbaetanyo iti daytoy. Saankayo nga umas-asideg iti daytoy tapno makitayo ti dalan a papanan, gapu ta saankayo pay idi a nagna iti daytoy a dalan.”
But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between yourselves and the ark. Do not go near it, so that you can see the way to go, since you have never traveled this way before.”
5 Kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao, “Idatonyo dagiti bagiyo kenni Yahweh inton bigat, ta agaramidto kadakayo ni Yahweh kadagiti nakaskasdaaaw.”
Then Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”
6 Ket kinuna ni Josue kadagiti papadi, “Awitenyo ti lakasa ti tulag ket ilabasyo iti sangoanan dagiti tattao.” Inawitda ngarud ti lakasa ti tulag ket napanda iti sangoanan dagiti tattao.
And he said to the priests, “Take the ark of the covenant and go on ahead of the people.” So they carried the ark of the covenant and went ahead of them.
7 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Josue, “Ita nga aldaw, aramidenka a naindaklan a tao kadagiti mata iti amin nga Israel. Maammoandanto nga addaak kenka a kas kaaddak idi kenni Moises.
Now the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you just as I was with Moses.
8 Ibilinmonto kadagiti padi a mangawit iti lakasa ti tulag, “Inton makadanonkayo iti igid dagiti dandanum ti Jordan, agtalinaedkayo a sitatakter idiay Karayan Jordan.
Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the waters, stand in the Jordan.’”
9 Ket kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Umaykayo ditoy ket denggenyo dagiti sasao ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
So Joshua told the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God.”
10 Maammoanyo babaen iti daytoy a ti sibibiag a Dios ket adda kadakayo ket papanawennanto iti imatangyo dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Heteo, dagiti Heveo, dagiti Perezeo, dagiti Gergeseo, dagiti Amorreo, ken dagiti Jebuseo.
He continued, “This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that He will surely drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.
11 Kitaenyo! Agballasiw iti Jordan nga umuna kadakayo ti lakasa ti tulag ti Apo iti entero a daga.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go ahead of you into the Jordan.
12 Mangpilikayo ita iti sangapulo ket dua a lallaki manipud kadagiti tribu ti Israel, maysa manipud iti tunggal tribu.
Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.
13 Inton masagid dagiti dapan dagiti padi a mangaw-awit iti lakasa ni Yahweh nga Apo iti entero a daga dagiti danum ti Jordan, maisinanto dagiti danum daytoy, ken uray dagiti danum dagiti akin-surong a waig ket agsardeng nga agayus ket agtakderto dagitoy a kasla sanga-gabsoon.”
When the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the LORD—the Lord of all the earth—touch down in the waters of the Jordan, its flowing waters will be cut off and will stand up in a heap.”
14 Ngarud, idi nagrubwat dagiti tattao a mangballasiw iti Karayan Jordan, napan dagiti padi a nangawit iti lakasa ti tulag nga immun-una ngem kadagiti tattao.
So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of them.
15 Apaman a makadanon iti Jordan dagidiay mangaw-awit iti lakasa, ken maitabsaw iti rabaw ti danum dagiti saka dagiti nangawit iti lakasa, (agluplupyas ti danum ti Karayan Jordan kadagiti ig-igid daytoy iti amin a tiempo ti panagaapit),
Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge,
16 nagtakder a kasla sanga-gabsoon dagiti danum a nagayus manipud kadagiti akin-surong a waig. Nagsardeng nga agayus ti danum manipud iti adayo. Nagsardeng nga agayus dagiti danum manipud idiay Adam, ti siudad nga abay ti Sartam, agingga idiay baybay ti Negeb, ti Baybay ti Asin. Ket nagballasiw dagiti tattao iti asideg ti Jerico.
the flowing water stood still. It backed up as far upstream as Adam, a city in the area of Zarethan, while the water flowing toward the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea ) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
17 Nagtakder dagiti padi a nangawit iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh iti rabaw ti namaga a daga iti tengnga ti Jordan agingga a nakaballasiw dagiti amin a tattao iti rabaw ti namaga a daga.
The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel crossed over the dry ground, until the entire nation had crossed the Jordan.
