1 Hagi Sitimima mani'nazaretira Josua'ene maka Israeli vahe'mo'za nanterame oti'za Jodani tinte e'za, seli nonkuma eme ante'za mani'naze.
Joshua got up early in the morning; and they moved from Shittim and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel. They camped there before they crossed over.
2 Anante tagufa zage kna evutegeno, kva vahe'mo'za kuma'ma ante'za mani'nafi vano nehu'za,
After three days, the officers went through the middle of the camp;
3 amanage hu'za zmasami'naze, Tamagrama kesanageno'ma Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima Livae naga'pinti pristi vahe'mo'zama erisga hu'zama vanagetma, mani'naza kumara atretma otitma zamavariritma viho.
and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of Yahweh your God’s covenant, and the Levitical priests bearing it, then leave your place and follow it.
4 E'ina nehutma kama vanaza kana keso'e hiho. Na'ankure omenare kasefa kante neaze. Hianagi tamagra huhagerafi huvempage vogisimofo tavaontera ovutma, 1kilomita naza kankamu amitama, afete eho.
Yet there shall be a space between you and it of about two thousand cubits by measure—don’t come closer to it—that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way before.”
5 Anante Josua'a Israeli vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra'a tamazeri agru hiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a tamagri amu'nompi ruzahu kaguvaza okina erifore hugahie.
Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow Yahweh will do wonders among you.”
6 Hagi Josua'a pristi vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eritma vahe'mokizmi zamavuga vugoteho, hige'za ke amage ante'za eri'za vahe zamavuga vugota hu'naze.
Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and cross over before the people.” They took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra menina agafa hu'na Israeli vahe zamavufi kagi'a erisga hanuge'za, zamagrama ke'za antahi'zama hanazana, Mosese'enema mani'neaza huno Anumzamo'a kagri'enena mani'ne hu'za antahigahaze.
Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.
8 Hagi menina huhagerafi huvempage vogisima erisaza pristi vahera amanage hunka zamasamio, tamagrama Jodani timofo ankenare'ma vanutma, ti amu'nompi vutma ome oti fatgo hiho.
You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’”
9 Higeno Josua'a Israeli vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, amare erava'o huta Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma hiankea eme antahiho.
Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of Yahweh your God.”
10 Nehuno Josua'a amanage huno Israeli vahera zamasami'ne, ko'ma mani'naza Kenani vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Hivi vahe'ma, Peresi vahe'ma, Gilgasi vahe'ma, Amori vahe'ma, Jebusi vahe'ma zamahe panini hanigeta, kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzamo'a amu'nontifi mani'ne hutma keta antahita hugahaze.
Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, and the Jebusite out from before you.
11 Keho, maka mopama kegava hu'nea Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimo'ma, vugota huno Jodani tima takahe'nigeta,
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over before you into the Jordan.
12 menina Israeli vahe'mota mago'mago naga nofipintira mago vahe huhamprita zmavaretere hinke'za 12fu'a vahe eho.
Now therefore take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.
13 Hagi Ra Anumzama maka mopama kegava hu'nea Anumzamofo Agri huhagerafi huvempage vogisima erisaza pristi vahe'mo'zama zamagama Jodani timpima ome resageno'a, tima ne'eazamo'a taneno kamanu kaziga magopi ante hihihuno marerigahie.
It shall be that when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be cut off. The waters that come down from above shall stand in one heap.”
14 Anante pristi vahe'mo'za huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eri'za vugota nehazage'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za ana pristi vahe'mokizmi zmavariri'za Jodani tina takahenaku seli nozamia tagana vazi'za e'neri'za maka'za zamia retro hu'naze.
When the people moved from their tents to pass over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant being before the people,
15 Hagi maka kafufina ne'zama hamare knarera Jodani timo'a tusi ti hagetere nehiane. Hagi e'i ana knarekino timo'a amutu'amutu nehifi pristi vahe'mo'za huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eri'za Jodani timofo ankenare ehanati'za zamagia timpi eme razageno,
and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark had dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),
16 kamaniti'ma e'nea timo'a taneno ogamanu afete Zaretani tavaonte me'nea rankuma Adamua, magopi ome ante hihi huno agonagna huno marerigeno, kami kazigama fri'nea hagerintegama evia timo'a tane vagarege'za hagage mopare vu'za kantu kaziga Jeriko tava'onte uhanati'naze.
the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over near Jericho.
17 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisima zamafunte'ma kofi'naza pristi vahe'mo'za, timofo amu'nompima hagegema hu'nere oti hanaveti'nage'za, ana maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Jodani timo'ma hagagema hu'nea moparera evu vagare'za kantu kaziga vu'naze.
The priests who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over the Jordan.
