Josoa 3
1 Nañaleñale t’Iehosoa te nitroatse, le nienga i Sitime rekets’ o ana’ Israele iabio naho niheo mb’am’ Iardeney mb’eo, vaho nitobe eo aolo’ t’ie hitsake.
And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they departed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
2 Ie nimodo ty telo andro, le nimb’eo mb’eo amy tobey o mpiaoloo;
And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
3 naho linili’ iareo ondatio ami’ty hoe: Naho oni’ areo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areoy, naho o mpisoroñe nte-Levy mitarazo azeo, le miavota an-toe’o, vaho oriho.
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 Fe engao heba’e mizehe kiho ro’arivo varañe añivo’ areo naho ie, ko harinea’ areo, soa te ho fohi’ areo ty lalan-komba’ areo; fa mboe tsy niary mb’ atoy nahareo.
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 before.
5 Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ ondatio: Miefera fa hanao raha tsitantane añivo’ areo ao t’Iehovà hamaray.
And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
6 Nisaontsy amo mpisoroñeo t’Iehosoa ami’ty hoe: Rambeso i vatam-pañinay le mitsàha aolo ondatio. Rinambe’ iereo i vatam-pañinay vaho nimb’ aolo ondatio mb’eo.
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 Le hoe t’Iehovà am’ Iehosoa, Hiorotse hampionjoñe azo ampahaoniña’ Israele iaby iraho te anito, hahafohina’ iareo te, manahake ty nindrezako amy Mosè ty hindrezako ama’o.
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 Aa le afantoho o mpisoroñe mitarazo i vatam-pañinaio, ami’ty hoe: Ie tsatok’ añ’olon-drano’ Iardeney le mijohaña am’ Iardeney.
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 Le hoe t’Iehosoa amo ana’ Israeleo: Mb’etoa hijanjiñe ty tsara’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
10 Le hoe t’Iehosoa: Ho fohi’ areo henane zao te añivo’ areo ao t’i Andrianañahare veloñe le tsy mete tsy roahe’e aolo’ areo mb’eo o nte-Kanàneo, naho o nte Kiteo, naho o nte-Kiveo, naho o nte-Perizeo, naho o nte-Girgasio, naho o nte-Amoreo vaho o nte-Iebosio.
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 Hehe te mitsak’ aolo’ areo mb’ am’ Iardeney ty vatam-pañina’ i Talè’ ty tane toy iaby.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
12 Aa le joboño ondaty folo-ro’ amby boak’ amy fifokoa’ Israele rey, songa ondaty raike i fifokoañe rey.
Now therefore take for yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
13 Amy te, ie mijohañe an-drano’ Iardeney ty lelam-pandia’ o mpisoroñe mitarazo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovà, Talè’ ty tane bey toiio, le ho tampake ty rano’ Iardeney vaho hivotry ho haboañe o rano mikararake boak’ ambone añeo.
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 an heap.
14 Aa naho niavotse an-kiboho’e ondatio hitsake Iardeney, le aolo ondatio o mpisoroñe nitarazo i vatam-pañinaio,
And it came to pass, when the people departed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
15 le vata’e nivotrak’ añ’ olo-drano’ Iardeney ty fandia’ o mpitarazo i vatam-pañinaio—toe manganahana añ’olo’ Iardeney iaby o rano’ Iardeneio amo hene andro an-tsam-pamokarañeo—
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 le nijihetse o rano nizotso boak’ ambone eio naho nionjoñe ho haboañe nitakatse ty atao Adame añe, i rova marine’ i Tsaretàne; le vata’e nitampake o ho nizotso mb’an-dRiak-Arabà naho mb’amy Riake Siray mb’eoo, vaho nitsake tandrife Ierikò ey ondatio.
That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up in an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over opposite Jericho.
17 Nijohañe an-tane maik’ anteñateña’ Iardeney o mpisoroñe nitarazo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovàio, le hene nitsak’ an-tane maike t’Israele, ampara’ te tafatsàke Iardeney iaby i valobohòkey.
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 finished crossing the Jordan.
