< Siosiua 3 >

1 Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pongipongi; pea naʻa nau hiki mei Sitimi, ʻo hoko ki Sioatani, ʻaia mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo nofo ʻi ai ʻi he teʻeki ke aʻa atu.
若蘇厄清早起來,同所有的以色列子民由史廷出發,來到弓約旦河,住在那裏,等候過河。
2 Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu pea pehē, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kau matāpule ki he fakataha ʻoe kautau:
過了三天,官長走遍全營,
3 Pea naʻa nau fekau ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻI hoʻomou mamata ki he puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, mo e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻoku haʻamo ia, ke mou hiki ai mei homou potu, ʻo muimui ki ai.
吩咐百姓說:「你們一看見上主你們天主的約櫃,和抬約櫃的肋未人,他們便你們所住的地方起身,跟著它走,
4 Ka ʻe ai ha vahaʻa ʻiate kimoutolu mo ia, ko e hanga ʻe fā afe nai hono fuofua: ʻoua naʻa mou hoko ke ofi ki ai, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻae hala ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke mou ʻalu ai: he ʻoku teʻeki ai te mou fou ʻi he hala ni.”
好使你們知道你們應走的路,因為這條路你們從來沒有走過。但在你們與約櫃之間,相隔二千肘,不可走近約櫃。」
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “Fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu: koeʻuhi ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻapongipongi ʻae ngaahi mana ʻiate kimoutolu.”
若蘇厄對百姓說:「你們應該自潔,因為上主明天要在你們中間行神蹟。
6 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ki he kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Toʻo hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, pea ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai. Pea naʻa nau toʻo hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, ʻo ʻalu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he kakai.”
若蘇厄又吩咐司祭說:「你們抬起約櫃,在百姓前過河。」他們遂抬起約櫃,走在百姓前面。
7 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Ko e ʻaho ni te u kamata fakahikihiki koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau ʻilo, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻia Mōsese, ʻe pehē pe ʻeku ʻiate koe.
上主對若蘇厄說:「今天我要開始在眾以色列眼前顯揚你,使他們知道,我要與你同在,有如過去我與梅瑟同在一樣。
8 Pea ke fekau ʻe koe ki he kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, ʻo pehē, ʻI hoʻomou hoko ki he veʻevai ʻo Sioatani, te mou tuʻumaʻu pe ʻi Sioatani.”
你吩咐抬約櫃的司祭說:「你們一到約旦河的水邊,就停在約旦河邊。」
9 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Mou haʻu ki heni, pea fanongo ki he ngaahi folofola ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.”
若蘇厄又吩咐以色列子民說:「他們前來靜聽上主你們天主的話。」
10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua, “Te mou ʻilo ʻi he meʻa ni ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻOtua moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni ʻe kapusi ʻe ia mei homou ʻao ʻae kau Kēnani, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Keakasa, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Sepusi.
若蘇厄遂說:「你們由此可知道,永生的天主是在你們中間,衪必由你們面前,將客納罕人、赫特人、希威人、培黎齊人、基爾加士人、阿摩黎人和耶步斯人趕走。
11 Vakai, ko e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi homou ʻao ki loto Sioatani.
看,大地主宰的約櫃要在你們前面渡過約旦河。
12 Pea ko eni, mou fili ha kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua mei he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e tangata pe taha mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē.
現在,你們應從以色列支派中,挑選十二人,每支派一人。
13 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻae ʻaofivaʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku haʻamo ʻae puha ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻEiki ʻo māmani kotoa pē, ke tuʻu ki he vai ʻo Sioatani, ʻe motuhi leva ʻae vai ʻo Sioatani mei he vai ʻoku tafe hifo; pea ʻe tuʻu fakaʻesi pe ia.”
當抬大地的主宰上主約櫃的司祭的腳掌,一踏入約旦河的水,約旦河的水就必中斷,由上流下的水要停,像一道堤。
14 Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he hiki ʻae kakai mei honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ke ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻo haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava;
當百姓起程離開帳幕要到約旦河時,司祭抬著約櫃,走在百姓的前面。
15 Pea ʻi he hoko ki Sioatani ʻakinautolu naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha, pea tuʻu ki he veʻevai ʻae vaʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha, (he naʻe fonu mahakehake ʻa Sioatani, ʻi hono ngaahi ngutu vai kotoa pē ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē ʻoe ututaʻu, )
當抬約櫃的司祭到了約旦河,他們的腳一踏入水邊,──原來約旦河在整個收割期間,水常漲至河岸──
16 ‌ʻIloange ko e ngaahi vai naʻe tafe mai naʻe tuʻu, pea tupu hake ʻo fakatafungofunga, ʻo vāmamaʻo ʻaupito mei he kolo ko ʻAtama, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu ʻo Salitani: pea ko ia naʻe tafe mai ki he tahi ʻoe toafa, ʻaia ko e tahi kona, naʻe mamaha ia, pea motuhi: pea naʻe aʻa ai ʻae kakai ʻo hangatonu ki Seliko.
水就停住了:由上流下的水像一道堤,停在很遠的地方,遠至匝爾堂附近的阿當城;往下流入的水像一道堤,停在很遠的地方,遠至匝爾堂附近的阿當城;往下流入阿辣巴海,即鹽海的水,已全退去;於是百姓在耶利哥對面過了河。
17 Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova naʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻi he kelekele mōmoa ʻi loto Sioatani, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he kelekele mōmoa, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
當全以色列人在旱地上渡過時,抬上主約櫃的司祭穩立在約旦河中的旱地上直到全民眾都渡過約旦河。
