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 Joshua rose early in the morning; and they broke up from Shittim, and came close to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over.
2 Un pēc trim dienām tie virsnieki gāja pa lēģeri
And it came to pass at the end of three days, that the officers passed 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 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 shall ye break up from your place, and go after it.
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.
Nevertheless there shall be a space between you and it, of about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, in order that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
5 Un Jozuas sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: svētījaties, jo rītā Tas Kungs jūsu starpā darīs brīnumus.
And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow will the Lord do wonders in the midst of 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 Joshua said unto the priests, as followeth, 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 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 unto Joshua, This day will I begin to make thee great in the eyes of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.
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 thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, ye shall stand still in the Jordan.
9 Un Jozuas sacīja uz Israēla bērniem: nāciet šurp un klausāties Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdus.
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Approach hither, and hear the words 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 Joshua said, Hereby shall ye know that the living God is in the midst of 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 Emorites, and the Jebusites.
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 passeth over before you into the Jordan.
12 Tad nu ņemat sev divpadsmit vīrus no Israēla ciltīm, no ikvienas cilts vienu vīru.
And now take yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man each out 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 it shall come to pass, that 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 the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, namely, the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand up as a wall.
14 Un kad tie ļaudis no saviem dzīvokļiem cēlās, iet pār Jardāni, un tie priesteri nesa derības šķirstu ļaužu priekšā,
And it came to pass, when the people broke up from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, and the priests the bearers of the ark of the covenant were before the people;
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 they that bore the ark were come up to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the edge of the water, [the Jordan, however, had overflowed all its banks all the time of harvest, ]
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.
That the waters which came down from above stood still and rose up as a wall, very far from the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan; and those that ran down toward the sea of the plain, the salt sea, failed, were cut off; and the people passed over opposite to Jericho.
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 priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had finished passing over the Jordan.
