Joshua 3
1 Ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀, Joṣua àti gbogbo àwọn Israẹli sí kúrò ní Ṣittimu, wọ́n sì lọ sí etí odò Jordani, wọ́n sì pa ibùdó síbẹ̀ kí wọn tó kọjá.
Then Ioshua rose very earely, and they remoued from Shittim, and came to Iorden, he, and all the children of Israel, and lodged there, before they went ouer.
2 Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ kẹta àwọn olórí la àárín ibùdó já.
And after three dayes the officers went throughout the hoste,
3 Wọ́n sì pàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Nígbà tí ẹ bá rí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi rù ú, nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò sí kúrò ní ipò yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa tẹ̀lé e.
And commanded the people, saying, When ye see the Arke of the couenat of the Lord your God, and the Priestes of the Leuites bearing it, ye shall depart from your place, and goe after it.
4 Ẹyin yóò lè mọ ọ̀nà tí ẹ ó gbà, torí pé ẹ̀yin kò gba ọ̀nà yìí tẹ́lẹ̀ rí. Ṣùgbọ́n àlàfo gbọdọ̀ wà ní àárín yín àti àpótí náà, tó bí ìwọ̀n ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ìgbọ̀nwọ́.”
Yet there shalbe a space betweene you and it, about two thousande cubites by measure: ye shall not come neere vnto it, that ye may knowe the way, by the which ye shall goe: for ye haue not gone this way in times past.
5 Joṣua sì sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ẹ ya ara yín sí mímọ́, nítorí ní ọ̀la, Olúwa yóò ṣe ohun ìyanu ní àárín yín.”
(Nowe Ioshua had saide vnto the people, Sanctifie your selues: for to morowe the Lord will doe wonders among you)
6 Joṣua sọ fún àwọn àlùfáà pé, “Ẹ̀yin, ẹ gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí náà kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì máa lọ ṣáájú àwọn ènìyàn.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbé e sókè, wọ́n sì ń lọ ní iwájú u wọn.
Also Ioshua spake vnto the Priestes, saying, Take vp the Arke of the couenant, and goe ouer before the people: so they tooke vp the Arke of the couenant, and went before the people.
7 Olúwa sì sọ fún Joṣua pé, “Òní yìí ni Èmi yóò bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í gbé ọ ga ní ojú u gbogbo àwọn ará Israẹli, kí wọn lè mọ̀ pé Èmi wà pẹ̀lú rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ṣe wà pẹ̀lú Mose.
Then the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, This day will I begin to magnifie thee in the sight of all Israel, which shall knowe, that as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.
8 Sọ fún àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí ẹ̀rí náà, ‘Nígbà tí ẹ bá dé etí omi Jordani, ẹ lọ kí ẹ sì dúró nínú odò náà.’”
Thou shalt therefore command the Priests that beare the Arke of the Couenant, saying, When ye are come to the brinke of the waters of Iorden, ye shall stande still in Iorden.
9 Joṣua sì sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, “Ẹ súnmọ́ ibí kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì fetí sí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
Then Ioshua said vnto the children of Israel, Come hither, and heare the wordes of the Lord your God.
10 Èyí ni ẹ̀yin yóò fi mọ̀ pé Ọlọ́run alààyè wà ní àárín yín àti pé dájúdájú yóò lé àwọn ará Kenaani, àwọn ará Hiti, Hifi, Peresi, Girgaṣi, Amori àti Jebusi jáde níwájú u yín.
And Ioshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the liuing God is among you, and that he will certainely cast out before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hiuites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Iebusites.
11 Àpótí májẹ̀mú Olúwa gbogbo ayé ń gòkè lọ sí Jordani ṣáájú u yín.
Beholde, the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of all the worlde passeth before you into Iorden.
12 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ẹ mú ọkùnrin méjìlá nínú àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli, ẹnìkan nínú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan.
Nowe therefore take from among you twelue men out of the tribes of Israel, out of euery tribe a man.
13 Bí àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí Olúwa, Olúwa gbogbo ayé bá ti ẹsẹ̀ bọ odò Jordani, omi tí ń ti òkè sàn wá yóò gé kúrò yóò sì gbá jọ bí òkìtì kan.”
And assoone as the soles of the feete of the Priestes (that beare the Arke of the Lord God the Lord of all the worlde) shall stay in the waters of Iorden, the waters of Iorden shall be cut off: for the waters that come from aboue, shall stande still vpon an heape.
14 Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn gbéra láti ibùdó láti kọjá nínú odò Jordani, àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí ẹ̀rí náà ń lọ níwájú wọn.
Then when the people were departed from their tentes to goe ouer Iorden, the Priestes bearing the Arke of the Couenant, went before people.
15 Odò Jordani sì máa ń wà ní kíkún ní gbogbo ìgbà ìkórè. Ṣùgbọ́n bí àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí ẹ̀rí ti dé odò Jordani tí ẹsẹ̀ wọn sì kan etí omi,
And as they that bare the Arke came vnto Iorden, and the feete of the Priestes that bare the Arke were dipped in the brinke of the water, (for Iorden vseth to fill all his bankes all the time of haruest)
16 omi tí ń ti òkè sàn wá dúró. Ó sì gbá jọ bí òkìtì ní òkèèrè, ní ìlú tí a ń pè ní Adamu, tí ó wà ní tòsí Saretani; nígbà tí omi tí ń sàn lọ sínú Òkun aginjù (ti o túmọ̀ sí Òkun Iyọ̀) gé kúrò pátápátá. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn kọjá sí òdìkejì ní ìdojúkọ Jeriko.
Then the waters that came downe from aboue, stayed and rose vpon an heape and departed farre from the citie of Adam, that was beside Zaretan: but the waters that came downe towarde the Sea of the wildernes, euen the salt Sea, failed, and were cut off: so the people went right ouer against Iericho.
17 Àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ru àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa sì dúró ṣinṣin lórí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ ní àárín Jordani, nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ń kọjá títí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè náà fi rékọjá nínú odò Jordani lórí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ.
But the Priestes that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, stoode drie within Iorden readie prepared, and all the Israelites went ouer dry, vntill all the people were gone cleane ouer through Iorden.
