and to rise Joshua in/on/with morning and to set out from [the] Shittim and to come (in): come till [the] Jordan he/she/it and all son: descendant/people Israel and to lodge there before to pass
2 Ngemva kwensuku ezintathu iziphathamandla zangena phakathi kwezihonqo,
and to be from end three day and to pass [the] official in/on/with entrails: among [the] camp
3 zinika imilayo ebantwini zisithi, “Lapho libona umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu labaphristi abangabaLevi belithwele kuzamele litshiye izindawo zenu lililandele.
and to command [obj] [the] people to/for to say like/as to see: see you [obj] ark covenant LORD God your and [the] priest [the] Levi to lift: bear [obj] him and you(m. p.) to set out from place your and to go: follow after him
4 Ngakho lizakwazi ukuthi lilandele yiphi indlela, njengoba lingakaze libe kuwonalo umango. Kodwa kumele ligcine ibanga elingaba yizingalo eziyinkulungwane ezimbili phakathi kwenu lomtshokotsho; lingasondeli phansi kwalo.”
surely distant to be between you (and between him *Q(k)*) like/as thousand cubit in/on/with measure not to present: come to(wards) him because which to know [obj] [the] way: road which to go: went in/on/with her for not to pass in/on/with way: road from yesterday three days ago
5 UJoshuwa wathi ebantwini, “Zihlambululeni ngoba kusasa uThixo uzakwenza izimanga phakathi kwenu.”
and to say Joshua to(wards) [the] people to consecrate: consecate for tomorrow to make: do LORD in/on/with entrails: among your to wonder
6 UJoshuwa wathi kubaphristi, “Thathani umtshokotsho wesivumelwano beselikhokhela phambi kwabantu.” Ngakho bawuthatha basebehamba phambi kwabo.
and to say Joshua to(wards) [the] priest to/for to say to lift: raise [obj] ark [the] covenant and to pass to/for face: before [the] people and to lift: raise [obj] ark [the] covenant and to go: went to/for face: before [the] people
7 UThixo wasesithi kuJoshuwa, “Lamhla ngizaqalisa ukukuphakamisa emehlweni abako-Israyeli bonke ukuze babone ukuthi ngilawe njengoba ngangiloMosi.
and to say LORD to(wards) Joshua [the] day: today [the] this to profane/begin: begin to magnify you in/on/with eye: seeing all Israel which to know [emph?] for like/as as which to be with Moses to be with you
8 Tshela abaphristi abathwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano uthi, ‘Lingafika okhunjini lwamanzi kaJodani, lingene liyekuma phakathi komfula.’”
and you(m. s.) to command [obj] [the] priest to lift: bear ark [the] covenant to/for to say like/as to come (in): come you till end water [the] Jordan in/on/with Jordan to stand: stand
9 UJoshuwa wathi kwabako-Israyeli, “Wozani lapha lizolalela amazwi kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
and to say Joshua to(wards) son: descendant/people Israel to approach: approach here/thus and to hear: hear [obj] word LORD God your
10 Lokhu yikho okuzakwenza ukuthi lazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ophilayo uphakathi kwenu njalo ngempela uzaxotsha phambi kwenu amaKhenani, amaHithi, amaHivi, amaPherizi, amaGigashi, ama-Amori lamaJebusi.
and to say Joshua in/on/with this to know [emph?] for God alive in/on/with entrails: among your and to possess: take to possess: take from face: before your [obj] [the] Canaanite and [obj] [the] Hittite and [obj] [the] Hivite and [obj] [the] Perizzite and [obj] [the] Girgashite and [the] Amorite and [the] Jebusite
11 Khangelani, umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi womhlaba wonke lizangena phakathi kweJodani phambi kwenu.
behold ark [the] covenant Lord all [the] land: country/planet to pass to/for face: before your in/on/with Jordan
12 Ngakho-ke, khethani amadoda alitshumi lambili esuka ezizwaneni zako-Israyeli, oyedwa esizwaneni esisodwa.
and now to take: take to/for you two ten man from tribe Israel man one man one to/for tribe
13 Kuzakuthi masinyazana abaphristi abathwele umtshokotsho kaThixo, iNkosi yomhlaba wonke, sebengene eJodani, amanzi omfula ogelezayo azakwehlukaniswa abesesima abe yinqwaba.”
and to be like/as to rest palm: sole foot [the] priest to lift: bear ark LORD Lord all [the] land: country/planet in/on/with water [the] Jordan water [the] Jordan to cut: cut [emph?] [the] water [the] to go down from to/for above [to] and to stand: stand heap one
14 Ngakho kwathi abantu sebesuke ezihonqweni ukuze bayechapha uJodani, abaphristi ababethwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano bahamba phambili.
and to be in/on/with to set out [the] people from tent their to/for to pass [obj] [the] Jordan and [the] priest to lift: bear [the] ark [the] covenant to/for face: before [the] people
15 UJodani wayehlala egcwele ngezikhathi zonke zokuvuna. Kukanti kwathi abaphristi ababethwele umtshokotsho befika eJodani inyawo zabo zazithinta amanzi,
and like/as to come (in): come to lift: bear [the] ark till [the] Jordan and foot [the] priest to lift: bear [the] ark to dip in/on/with end [the] water and [the] Jordan to fill upon all bank his all day harvest
16 amanzi ayevelela ngaphezulu ema ukugeleza. Abuthana aba yinqwaba ema khatshana laphaya, malungana ledolobho elithiwa yi-Adamu duzane leZarethani kukanti amanzi ayegelezela phansi ngekuyeni olwandle lwe-Arabha (okutsho uLwandle Lwetswayi) ahle ehlukaniswa ngokupheleleyo. Ngakho-ke abantu bachaphela ngaphetsheya malungana leJerikho.
and to stand: stand [the] water [the] to go down from to/for above [to] to arise: rise heap one to remove much (from Adam *Q(K)*) [the] city which from side Zarethan and [the] to go down upon sea [the] (Sea of) the Arabah sea [the] Salt (Sea) to finish to cut: cut and [the] people to pass before Jericho
17 Abaphristi ababethwele umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo bema bathi mpo emhlabathini owomileyo phakathi kweJodani, ngesikhathi abantu bonke bako-Israyeli bechapha isizwe sonke saze saqeda ukuchapha emhlabathini owomileyo.
