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.
So then Joshua rose early in the morning, and they brake up from The Acacias and came as far as the Jordan, he and all the sons 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, after three days, that the officers 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 commanded the people saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and, the priests the Levites, bearing it, ye also, shall break up out of your place, and come 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.
Yet shall there be, a distance, between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure, —do not come near unto it that ye may get to 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.
Then said Joshua unto the people, Hallow yourselves, —for, to-morrow, will Yahweh do in your midst, wonderful things.
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 spake unto the priests, saying, Take ye up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people. So they took up the ark of the covenant, and went on 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Joshua: This day, will I begin to magnify thee in the eyes of all Israel, —who shall know, that, as I was with Moses, I will 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.
Thou, therefore, shalt command the priests who am bearing the ark of the covenant, saying, —When ye are come as far as the edge of the waters of the Jordan, in the Jordan, shall ye stand.
9 Un Jozuas sacīja uz Israēla bērniem: nāciet šurp un klausāties Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdus.
Then said Joshua, unto the sons of Israel, —Draw near hither, and hear ye the words of Yahweh 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 a Living GOD is in your midst, —and that he will, certainly dispossess, from before you, the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Hivite and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
11 Redzi, visas pasaules valdītāja derības šķirsts ies jūsu priekšā pāri pār Jardāni.
Lo! the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth, is about to pass before you into the Jordan.
12 Tad nu ņemat sev divpadsmit vīrus no Israēla ciltīm, no ikvienas cilts vienu vīru.
Now, therefore, take you twelve men, out of the tribes of Israel, —one man severally for each 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 be, when the soles of the feet of the priests who are bearing the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, do rest, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, shall be cut off, the waters that are coming down from above, —and shall stand in one mound.
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 set out from their tents, to cross the Jordan, —with the priests, bearing the ark of the covenant 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),
then, as the bearers of the ark came as far as the Jordan, and, the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark, were dipped in the edge of the waters, —the Jordan being full over all his banks, all the days 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 were coming down from above, stood—rose up in one mound, a great way off, by the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan, and, they which were going down to the sea of the waste plain, the salt sea, failed—were cut off, —and, the people, passed over, right against 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 who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, stood on dry ground, in the midst of the Jordan, with firm footing, —while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, until all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan.
