< 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.
And so, Joshua arose in the night, and he moved the camp. And they departed from Shittim, and they went to the Jordan: he, and all the sons of Israel, and they remained there for three days.
2 Oo saddex maalmood dabadeed saraakiishii xeraday dhex mareen,
After these things unfolded, announcers passed through the midst of 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 they began to proclaim: “When you will see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests of the stock of Levi carrying it, you also shall rise up and follow those who are going before you.
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.
And let there be, between you and the ark, the space of two thousand cubits, so that you may be able to see it from far away, and to know along which way you should advance. For you have not walked this way before. And be careful that you do not approach the ark.”
5 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Quduus iska dhiga, waayo, berri Rabbigu wuxuu dhexdiinna ku samayn doonaa waxyaalo yaab leh.
And Joshua said to the people: “Be sanctified. For tomorrow the Lord will accomplish miracles 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 up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people.” And they fulfilled the orders, and they took it and walked before 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.
And the Lord said to Joshua: “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so that they may know that, just as I was with Moses, so also am I with you.
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.
Now instruct the priests, who are carrying the ark of the covenant, and say to them, ‘When you will have entered into a part of the water of the Jordan, stand still in it.’”
9 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil ku yidhi, Kaalaya halkan, oo maqla erayada Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, “Approach to here, and listen to the word 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.
And again, he said: “By this shall you know that the Lord, the living God, is in your midst, and that he shall scatter in your sight, the Canaanite and the Hittite, the Hivite and the Perizzite, likewise the Girgashite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite.
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 shall go before you through the Jordan.
12 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed laba iyo toban nin ka soo bixiya qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil, qabiil walba nin.
Prepare 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.
And when the priests who are carrying the ark of the Lord, the God of the entire earth, will have placed the steps of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are lower will run down and pass away, and those that are approaching above will stand together in a mass.”
14 Oo markii dadku ka tegey teendhooyinkooda si ay Webi Urdun uga gudbaan aawadeed, iyadoo ay ka horreeyaan wadaaddada sida sanduuqii axdiga,
And the people departed from their tents, so that they might cross the Jordan. And the priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant were advancing before 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)
And as soon as they entered into the Jordan, and their feet were dipped in a portion of the water, (now the Jordan, since it was the time of the harvest, had filled the banks of its channel, )
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 descending waters stood still in one place, and, swelling up like a mountain, they were seen from far away, from the city that is called Adam, even as far as the place of Zarethan. But those that were lower ran down into the Sea of the Wilderness, (which is now called the Dead Sea, ) until they entirely passed away.
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.
Then the people advanced opposite Jericho. And the priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord were standing, fully-dressed, upon dry soil in the midst of the Jordan, and all the people passed over, through the channel that was dried up.
