Yosua 3
1 Keesokan harinya, Yosua dan seluruh umat Israel bangun pagi-pagi sekali, lalu meninggalkan tempat perkemahan mereka di Sitim, dan pergi ke Sungai Yordan. Di situ mereka berkemah sambil menunggu waktunya untuk menyeberang.
And Joshua rises early in the morning, and they journey from Shittim, and come to the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodge there before they pass over.
2 Sesudah lewat tiga hari, para pemimpin berkeliling ke seluruh perkemahan,
And it comes to pass, at the end of three days, that the authorities pass over into the midst of the camp,
3 dan memberi perintah ini kepada umat Israel, "Apabila kalian melihat para imam memikul Peti Perjanjian TUHAN Allahmu, hendaklah kalian juga berangkat meninggalkan tempat perkemahan ini. Ikutilah Peti itu,
and command the people, saying, “When you see the Ark of the Covenant of your God YHWH, and the priests, the Levites, carrying it, then you journey from your place, and have gone after it;
4 tapi jangan berjalan terlalu dekat dengan Peti itu; ikuti dari belakang pada jarak satu kilometer. Dengan demikian kalian akan mengetahui jalan yang harus kalian tempuh, sebab kalian belum pernah ke daerah ini."
only, a distance is between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; you do not come near to it, so that you know the way in which you go, for you have not passed over in the way before.”
5 Yosua berkata kepada umat Israel, "Hendaklah kalian menyucikan diri, sebab besok TUHAN akan mengadakan keajaiban di tengah-tengahmu."
And Joshua says to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow YHWH does wonders in your midst.”
6 Lalu Yosua memerintahkan para imam supaya mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu lalu berangkat mendahului umat Israel. Mereka pun melaksanakan perintah Yosua.
And Joshua speaks to 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 TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, "Mulai hari ini engkau akan Kujadikan orang besar sehingga seluruh umat Israel menghormatimu dan menyadari bahwa Aku mendampingimu seperti Aku mendampingi Musa.
And YHWH says to Joshua, “This day I begin to make you great in the eyes of all Israel, so that they know that as I was with Moses I am with you;
8 Sekarang perintahkanlah para imam yang memikul Peti Perjanjian itu supaya sesampainya mereka di sungai, mereka masuk ke dalam air sungai itu dan berdiri di dekat tepinya."
and you, command the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant, saying, When you come to the extremity of the waters of the Jordan, stand in the Jordan.”
9 Lalu Yosua memanggil orang-orang Israel, dan berkata, "Mari dengarkan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN Allahmu kepadamu.
And Joshua says to the sons of Israel, “Come near here, and hear the words of your God YHWH”;
10 Apabila kalian maju nanti, TUHAN pasti mengusir orang Kanaan, Het, Hewi, Feris, Girgasi, Amori dan Yebus. Dan pada waktu Peti Perjanjian TUHAN semesta alam menyeberangi Yordan mendahului kalian, kalian akan melihat bahwa Allah yang hidup ada di tengah-tengah kalian.
and Joshua says, “By this you know that the living God [is] in your midst, and He certainly dispossesses from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite:
behold, the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord of all the earth is passing over before you into the Jordan;
12 Sekarang hendaklah kalian memilih dua belas orang--seorang dari setiap suku bangsa Israel.
and now, take for yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man—one man for a tribe;
13 Nanti apabila para imam yang memikul Peti Perjanjian TUHAN menginjakkan kakinya ke dalam air di Sungai Yordan itu, arus airnya akan terputus; air yang mengalir dari hulu akan terbendung di satu tempat."
and it has been, at the resting of the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the Ark of YHWH, 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 Pada waktu itu sedang musim panen, dan sebagaimana biasanya air Sungai Yordan meluap. Ketika orang Israel meninggalkan perkemahan mereka untuk menyeberangi Sungai Yordan, para imam berjalan lebih dahulu sambil membawa Peti Perjanjian. Dan sewaktu imam-imam itu menginjakkan kakinya ke dalam air sungai,
And it comes to pass, in the journeying of the people from their tents to pass over the Jordan, and of the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant before the people,
and at those carrying the Ark coming to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying 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 seketika itu juga arus sungai itu terputus. Jauh di bagian hulu sungai, airnya terkumpul di Adam, sebuah kota yang terletak di sebelah kota Sartan. Air di bagian hilir yang mengalir ke Laut Mati terputus sama sekali, sehingga umat Israel dapat menyeberang di atas tanah kering berhadapan dengan kota Yerikho. Para imam yang memikul Peti Perjanjian itu tetap berdiri di tengah-tengah sungai sampai seluruh umat Israel tiba di seberang.
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 opposite Jericho;
and the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH stand on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan—established, and all Israel are passing over on dry ground until all the nation has completed to pass over the Jordan.
