Jozuas 3
1 Tad Jozuas cēlās no rīta agri, un tie aizgāja no Sitimas un nāca līdz Jardānei, viņš un visi Israēla bērni. Un tie tur palika par nakti, pirms pārcēlās.
And Josue rose before daylight, and removed the camp: and they departed from Setim, and came to the Jordan, he, and all the children of Israel, and they abode there for three days.
2 Un pēc trim dienām tie virsnieki gāja pa lēģeri
After which, the heralds went through the midst of the camp,
3 Un pavēlēja tiem ļaudīm sacīdami: kad jūs redzēsiet Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, derības šķirstu un tos priesterus, Levja bērnus, to nesam, tad ceļaties no savas vietas un ejat viņam pakaļ.
And began to proclaim: When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests of the race of Levi carrying it, rise you up also, and follow them as they go before:
4 Tomēr lai starpa paliek starp jums un viņu līdz divi tūkstošu olekšu plata, un neejat tam tuvu, lai jūs to ceļu varat zināt, kas jums jāiet, jo jūs šo ceļu vēl nekad neesat gājuši.
And let there be between you and the ark the space of two thousand cubits: that you may see it afar off, and know which way you must go: for you have not gone this way before: and take care you come not near the ark.
5 Un Jozuas sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: svētījaties, jo rītā Tas Kungs jūsu starpā darīs brīnumus.
And Josue said to the people: Be ye sanctified: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
6 Un Jozuas runāja uz tiem priesteriem sacīdams: ņemat derības šķirstu un ejat pāri ļaužu priekšā. Tad tie ņēma derības šķirstu un gāja tiem ļaudīm priekšā.
And he said to the priests: Take up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people. And they obeyed his commands, and took it up and walked before them.
7 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jozua: šodien Es sākšu tevi paaugstināt visa Israēla acīs; lai tie zin, ka Es būšu ar tevi, kā esmu bijis ar Mozu.
And the Lord said to Josue: This day will I begin to exalt thee before Israel: that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I am with thee also.
8 Un tiem priesteriem, kas to derības šķirstu nes, tev būs pavēlēt un sacīt: kad jūs nākat Jardānes malā pie ūdens, tad apstājaties pie Jardānes.
And do thou command the priests that carry the ark of the covenant, and say to them: When you shall have entered into part of the water of the Jordan, stand in it.
9 Un Jozuas sacīja uz Israēla bērniem: nāciet šurp un klausāties Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdus.
And Josue said to the children of Israel: Come hither and hear the word of the Lord your God.
10 Un Jozuas sacīja: pie tam jums būs zināt, ka Tas dzīvais Dievs ir jūsu vidū, un ka Viņš izdzīdams izdzīs jūsu priekšā Kanaāniešus un Hetiešus un Hiviešus un Fereziešus un Ģirgaziešus un Amoriešus un Jebusiešus.
And again he said: By this you shall know that the Lord the living God is in the midst of you, and that he shall destroy before your sight the Chanaanite and the Hethite, the Hevite and the Pherezite, the Gergesite also and the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite.
11 Redzi, visas pasaules valdītāja derības šķirsts ies jūsu priekšā pāri pār Jardāni.
Behold the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth shall go before you into the Jordan.
12 Tad nu ņemat sev divpadsmit vīrus no Israēla ciltīm, no ikvienas cilts vienu vīru.
Prepare ye twelve men of the tribes of Israel, one of every tribe.
13 Un kad to priesteru kājas, kas Tā Kunga, visas pasaules valdītāja, šķirstu nes, nolaidīsies Jardānes ūdenī, tad Jardānes ūdens apstāsies, tas ūdens, kas no augšienes tek, un stāvēs vienā kopā.
And when the priests, that carry the ark of the Lord the God of the whole earth, shall set the soles of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are beneath shall run down and go off: and those that come from above, shall stand together upon a heap.
14 Un kad tie ļaudis no saviem dzīvokļiem cēlās, iet pār Jardāni, un tie priesteri nesa derības šķirstu ļaužu priekšā,
So the people went out of their tents, to pass over the Jordan: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant. went on before them.
15 Un kad tie šķirsta nesēji nāca līdz Jardānei, un kad to priesteru kājas, kas to šķirstu nesa, upmalā iebrida ūdenī, (bet Jardāne līdz pašām malām ir uzplūdusi cauru pļaujamo laiku),
And as soon as they came into the Jordan, and their feet were dipped in part of the water, (now the Jordan, it being harvest time, had filled the banks of its channel, )
16 Tad tas ūdens, kas no augšienes nāca, nostājās stāvu vienā kopā, labi tālu no Adamas pilsētas, kas sānis Cartanai; bet tas, kas tecēja uz leju, klajuma jūrā, (proti) sāls jūrā, tas pavisam izsīka. Tad tie ļaudis gāja pāri, Jērikum pretī.
The waters that came down from above stood in one place, and swelling up like a mountain, were seen afar off from the city that is called Adom, to the place of Sarthan: but those that were beneath, ran down into the sea of the wilderness (which now is called the Dead Sea) until they wholly failed.
17 Bet tie priesteri, kas Tā Kunga derības šķirstu nesa, stāvēja sausumā Jardānes vidū, un viss Israēls gāja pāri pa sausumu, tiekams visi ļaudis bija pārgājuši pār Jardāni.
And the people marched over against Jericho: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, stood girded upon the dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all the people passed over through the channel that was dried up.
