< Joshua 3 >

1 Toang na ke len tok ah, Joshua ac mwet Israel nukewa elos tuyak ac fahsr liki acn elos muta we in acn Shittim, ac som nu Infacl Jordan. Elos tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos we ac tupan pacl in som lalos.
And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
2 Len tolu toko, mwet kol lalos elos fahsr sasla lohm nuknuk nukewa
And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
3 ac fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Pacl se na kowos liye mwet tol su mwet Levi srukak Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD ac fahsr, na kowos lumwani lohm nuknuk suwos ac fahsr tokolos.
And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
4 Acn inge sasu nu suwos, ke ma inge elos ac fah akkalemye inkanek lowos an. Tusruktu kowos in tia fahsr apkuran nu ke Tuptup in Wuleang. Kowos in fahsr ke lusen tafun mael toko.”
Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near to it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed [this] way heretofore.
5 Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos in akmutalye kowos mweyen lutu LEUM GOD El fah oru ku sakirik lal inmasrlowos.”
And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to-morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
6 Ac Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet tol, “Srukak Tuptup in Wuleang ac us fahsr meet liki mwet uh.” Na elos oru oana el fahk.
And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Ke mwet Israel nukewa elos liye ma nga fah oru misenge, elos ac fah mutawauk in akfulatye kom ac akilen lah nga muta yurum oana nga tuh muta yorol Moses.
And the LORD said to Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee.
8 Kom in fahk nu sin mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang tuh ke elos sun infacl soko ah, elos in tui wekof uh.”
And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye have come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
9 Na Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Fahsru ac lohng kas lun LEUM GOD lowos.
And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
10 Ke kowos ac fahla, God El ac fah lusak mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Hiv, mwet Periz, mwet Girgas, mwet Amor ac mwet Jebus. Na kowos fah etu lah God moul El muta inmasrlowos
And Joshua said, By this ye shall know that the living God [is] among you, and [that] he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
11 ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun God lun faclu nufon ac fah fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan meet liki kowos.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
12 Ke ma inge kowos sulela mwet singoul luo, kais sie ke sruf singoul luo lun Israel.
Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
13 Ke pacl se nien mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lun faclu nufon fah pusralla Infacl Jordan, na kof uh ac tui insacn, ac kof ma tuku lucng me uh ac fah lapak oana fulatan soko eol.”
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, [that] the waters of Jordan shall be cut off [from] the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in a heap.
14 Ouinge ke mwet uh lumwani lohm nuknuk selos ac akola in fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan, mwet tol elos fahsr meet ac us Tuptup in Wuleang.
And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
15 Ke pacl in kosrani uh, pacl in sronot lun Infacl Jordan. Na ke pacl se nien mwet su us Tuptup in Wuleang sun kof uh,
And as they that bore the ark had come to Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest, )
16 kof ma tuku lucng ah me tui ac lapak oana fulatan soko eol, nwakla acn uh nwe sun siti srisrik Adam su oan sisken siti Zarethan. Na kof ma soror nu ten nu in Meoa Misa lisr na pwaye, pwanang mwet uh elos ku in fahsr sasla infacl soko ah apkuranyang nu Jericho.
That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up in a heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan; and those that came down towards the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
17 Ac mwet tol su us Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD elos tu in acn pao infulwen infacl ah nwe ke na mwet nukewa sroak liki infacl ah nu finmes uh.
And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had passed quite over Jordan.
