Yashuuca 3
1 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu kacay aroor hore, oo Shitiim way ka guureen, oo Webi Urdun yimaadeen, isagii iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo halkaasay degeen intaanay gudbin ka hor.
Early the next morning Joshua got up and left Shittim with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over.
2 Oo saddex maalmood dabadeed saraakiishii xeraday dhex mareen,
After three days the officers went through the camp
3 oo waxay dadkii ku amreen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Markaad aragtaan sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, iyo wadaaddada reer Laawi oo isaga sida waa inaad meeshiinna ka guurtaan, oo daba gashaan isaga.
and commanded the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God being carried by the Levitical priests, you are to set out from your positions and follow it.
4 Oo weliba waa in meel bannaan oo qiyaasteedu dhan tahay laba kun oo dhudhun idiin dhexaysaa idinka iyo sanduuqa. Ha u soo dhowaanina isaga, si aad u ogaataan jidkii aad mari lahaydeen; waayo, idinku hadda ka hor ma aydaan marin jidkan.
But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between yourselves and the ark. Do not go near it, so that you can see the way to go, since you have never traveled this way before.”
5 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Quduus iska dhiga, waayo, berri Rabbigu wuxuu dhexdiinna ku samayn doonaa waxyaalo yaab leh.
Then Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”
6 Oo Yashuuca wadaaddadii buu la hadlay, oo ku yidhi, Sanduuqa axdiga qaada, oo dadka ka hor gudba. Kolkaasay waxay qaadeen sanduuqii axdiga, oo dadkiina way ka hor mareen.
And he said to the priests, “Take the ark of the covenant and go on ahead of the people.” So they carried the ark of the covenant and went ahead of them.
7 Markaasaa Rabbigu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Maantaan bilaabayaa inaan kugu weyneeyo reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, inay ogaadaan in sidii aan Muuse ula jiray, aan adigana kuula jiri doono.
Now the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you just as I was with Moses.
8 Oo waa inaad amartaa wadaaddada sanduuqa axdiga sida, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markii aad gaadhaan biyaha Webi Urdun qarkooda waa inaad Webi Urdun isdhex taagtaan.
Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the waters, stand in the Jordan.’”
9 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil ku yidhi, Kaalaya halkan, oo maqla erayada Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
So Joshua told the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God.”
10 Oo Yashuuca wuxuu yidhi, Sidan baad ku ogaan doontaan in Ilaaha nool idin dhex joogo, iyo inuu shakila'aan hortiinna ka eryi doono reer Kancaan, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Girgaash, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Yebuus.
He continued, “This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that He will surely drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.
11 Bal eega, Rabbiga dhulka oo dhan sanduuqiisii axdiga ayaa idin hor maraya xagga Webi Urdun dhexdiisa.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go ahead of you into the Jordan.
12 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed laba iyo toban nin ka soo bixiya qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil, qabiil walba nin.
Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.
13 Oo markii wadaaddada sida sanduuqa Rabbiga ah Rabbiga dhulka oo dhan ay calaacalaha cagahoodu taabtaan biyaha Webi Urdun, ayaa biyaha Webi Urdun kala go'i doonaan, kuwaasoo ah biyaha kor ka imanaya, oo markaasay meel istaagi doonaan iyagoo tuulan.
When the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the LORD—the Lord of all the earth—touch down in the waters of the Jordan, its flowing waters will be cut off and will stand up in a heap.”
14 Oo markii dadku ka tegey teendhooyinkooda si ay Webi Urdun uga gudbaan aawadeed, iyadoo ay ka horreeyaan wadaaddada sida sanduuqii axdiga,
So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of them.
15 oo markii kuwa sanduuqa sida ay soo gaadheen Webi Urdun, oo wadaaddada sida sanduuqa ay cagahoodu galeen biyaha qarkooda, (waayo, xilliga waxgoosashada oo dhan Webi Urdun qararkiisa oo dhan buu buuxdhaafaa)
Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge,
16 ayay biyaha kor ka imanayay istaageen, iyagoo tuulan, oo meel aad u fog bay istaageen oo u dhow magaalada la yidhaahdo Aadaam oo ku ag taal Saaretaan. Kuwii hoos u kacay xagga badda Caraabaah, taasoo ah Badda Cusbada leh, iyana kulligood waa go'een; oo dadkii wuxuu u gudbay meel ku toosan Yerixoo.
the flowing water stood still. It backed up as far upstream as Adam, a city in the area of Zarethan, while the water flowing toward the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea ) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
17 Oo wadaaddadii siday sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga waxay istaageen dhul engegan oo Webi Urdun dhexdiisa ah, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku gudbeen dhul engegan, ilaa ay quruuntii oo dhammu ka wada gudubtay Webi Urdun.
The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel crossed over the dry ground, until the entire nation had crossed the Jordan.
