以色列人過約旦河
3 約書亞清早起來，和以色列眾人起行，離開什亭，來到約旦河，過河以前住在那裏。 2 過了三天，官長走遍營中， 3 吩咐百姓說：「當你們看見利未家的祭司抬着耶和華—你們 神的約櫃的時候，你們就要起行離開所住的地方，跟着約櫃走， 4 使你們知道所當走的路，因為這條路是你們從來沒有走過的。只是你們要與約櫃相隔約二千肘，不可太靠近約櫃。」 5 約書亞吩咐百姓說：「你們要使自己分別為聖，因為明天耶和華必在你們中間行奇事。」 6 約書亞對祭司說：「你們抬起約櫃，在百姓的前面過去。」於是他們抬起約櫃，走在百姓前面。
7 耶和華對約書亞說：「從今日起，我必使你在以色列眾人眼前被尊為大，使他們知道我怎樣與摩西同在，也必照樣與你同在。 8 你要吩咐抬約櫃的祭司說：『你們到了約旦河的水邊，要在約旦河中站着。』」 9 約書亞對以色列人說：「你們近前，到這裏來，聽耶和華—你們 神的話。」 10 約書亞說：「你們因這事會知道永生的 神在你們中間，他必從你們面前趕出迦南人、赫人、希未人、比利洗人、革迦撒人、亞摩利人、耶布斯人。 11 看哪！全地之主的約櫃必在你們的前面過去，到約旦河裏。 12 現在， 你們要從以色列支派中選出十二個人，每支派一人。 13 當抬耶和華全地之主約櫃的祭司，腳掌踏入約旦河水裏的時候，約旦河的水，就是從上往下流的水，必然中斷，豎立成壘。」
14 百姓起行離開帳棚過約旦河的時候，抬約櫃的祭司在百姓的前面。 15 那時正是收割的日子，約旦河的水漲滿兩岸。抬約櫃的人到了約旦河，抬約櫃的祭司腳一入水邊， 16 那從上往下流的水就在很遠的地方，在撒拉但旁邊的亞當城那裏停住，豎立成壘；那往亞拉巴海，就是鹽海下流的水全然中斷。於是，百姓在耶利哥的對面過了河。 17 抬耶和華約櫃的祭司在約旦河中的乾地上穩穩站着，以色列眾人都從乾地上過去，直到全國都過了約旦河。

Israel Crosses the Jordan
3 Then Joshua rose early in the morning and they set out (A)from Shittim. And they came to the Jordan, he and all the people of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. 2 (B)At the end of three days the officers went through the camp 3 and commanded the people, “As soon as you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God being carried by (C)the Levitical priests, then you shall set out from your place and follow it. 4 (D)Yet there shall be a distance between you and it, about 2,000 cubits[a] in length. Do not come near it, in order that you may know the way you shall go, for you have not passed this way before.” 5 Then Joshua said to the people, (E)“Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” 6 And Joshua said to the priests, (F)“Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on before the people.” So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.
7 The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to (G)exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, (H)as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. 8 And as for you, command (I)the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, ‘When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, (J)you shall stand still in the Jordan.’” 9 And Joshua said to the people of Israel, “Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God.” 10 And Joshua said, “Here is how you shall know that (K)the living God is among you and that he will without fail (L)drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites. 11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of (M)the Lord of all the earth[b] (N)is passing over before you into the Jordan. 12 Now therefore (O)take twelve men from the tribes of Israel, (P)from each tribe a man. 13 And (Q)when the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the Lord, (R)the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall (S)stand in one heap.”
14 So when the people set out from their tents to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing (T)the ark of the covenant before the people, 15 and as soon as those bearing the ark had come as far as the Jordan, and (U)the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (now (V)the Jordan overflows all its banks (W)throughout the time of harvest), 16 the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap very far away, at Adam, the city that is beside (X)Zarethan, and those flowing down toward the Sea of (Y)the Arabah, (Z)the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. And the people passed over opposite Jericho. 17 Now the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, (AA)and all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.

Tumawid ng Ilog Jordan ang mga Israelita
3 Maagang-maaga pa'y gumising na si Josue at ang buong Israel. Umalis sila sa Sitim patungong Ilog Jordan, at nagkampo sila sa pampang nito bago tumawid.
Paghahanda sa Pagtawid
2 Pagkalipas ng tatlong araw, naglibot sa kampo ang mga pinuno 3 at sinabi sa mga tao, “Kapag nakita ninyong dala ng mga paring Levita ang Kaban ng Tipan ng Diyos ninyong si Yahweh, lumakad na kayo at sumunod doon. 4 Sa kanila ninyo malalaman kung saan kayo daraan, sapagkat hindi pa kayo nakakarating dito kahit minsan. Ngunit huwag kayong masyadong lalapit sa Kaban ng Tipan; paunahin ninyo ito nang mga 900 metro.”
5 Sinabi naman ni Josue sa mga tao, “Linisin ninyo ang inyong mga sarili sapagkat bukas ay masasaksihan ninyo ang mga himalang gagawin ni Yahweh.” 6 Pagkatapos ay inutusan niya ang mga paring Levita, “Buhatin na ninyo ang Kaban ng Tipan at mauna kayo sa mga taong-bayan.” At iyon nga ang ginawa nila.
7 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Sa araw na ito'y gagawin kitang dakila sa paningin ng buong Israel. Sa gagawin ko'y mababatid nilang pinapatnubayan kita, tulad ng ginawa ko kay Moises. 8 Sabihin mo sa mga paring Levita na magdadala ng Kaban ng Tipan na magtuloy na sila sa Ilog Jordan, ngunit pagdating nila sa tubig sa pampang nito ay huminto muna sila.”
9-10 At tinawag ni Josue ang mga tao at sinabi sa kanila, “Halikayo at pakinggan ninyo ang ipinapasabi ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos. Dito ninyo malalaman na kasama ninyo ang Diyos na buháy. Pagdating ninyo roon, lilipulin niya ang mga Cananeo, ang mga Heteo, ang mga Hivita, ang mga Perezeo, ang mga Gergeseo, ang mga Amoreo, at ang mga Jebuseo. 11 Ang Kaban ng Tipan ng Panginoon ng buong mundo ay mauunang itatawid ng Ilog Jordan. 12 Pumili kayo ng labindalawang lalaki, isa sa bawat lipi ng Israel. 13 Kapag tumuntong na sa tubig ang mga paring may dala ng Kaban ng Tipan ni Yahweh, ang Panginoon ng buong mundo, titigil ng pag-agos ang Ilog Jordan. Ang tubig ay matitipon sa isang lugar.”
Ang Pagtawid
14 Sa pangunguna ng mga paring may dala ng Kaban ng Tipan, umalis ng kampo ang bayang Israel upang tumawid sa ilog. 15 Malaki ang tubig ng Jordan sa panahon ng tag-ani. Nang sumapit sa Ilog Jordan ang mga paring may dala ng Kaban ng Tipan, 16 tumigil ang pag-agos ng tubig, at ang tubig ay natipon sa tapat ng bayan ng Adam, lunsod na nasa tabi ng Zaretan. Samantala, ang agos na pababa sa Dagat na Patay, sa Araba, ay nagpatuloy hanggang sa natuyo ang ilog at nakatawid ang mga Israelita. Malapit sa Jerico ang kanilang tinawiran. 17 Nanatili sa gitna ng natuyong ilog ang mga paring may dala ng Kaban ng Tipan, hanggang sa makatawid sa kabilang pampang ang buong sambayanang Israel.

Crossing the Jordan
3 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim(A) and went to the Jordan,(B) where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days(C) the officers(D) went throughout the camp,(E) 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant(F) of the Lord your God, and the Levitical(G) priests(H) carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[a](I) between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
5 Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves,(J) for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things(K) among you.”
6 Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.” So they took it up and went ahead of them.
7 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you(L) in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses.(M) 8 Tell the priests(N) who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the Jordan’s waters, go and stand in the river.’”
9 Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God. 10 This is how you will know that the living God(O) is among you(P) and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites,(Q) Hivites, Perizzites,(R) Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites.(S) 11 See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth(T) will go into the Jordan ahead of you.(U) 12 Now then, choose twelve men(V) from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 13 And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth(W)—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream(X) will be cut off(Y) and stand up in a heap.(Z)”
14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant(AA) went ahead(AB) of them. 15 Now the Jordan(AC) is at flood stage(AD) all during harvest.(AE) Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, 16 the water from upstream stopped flowing.(AF) It piled up in a heap(AG) a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan,(AH) while the water flowing down(AI) to the Sea of the Arabah(AJ) (that is, the Dead Sea(AK)) was completely cut off.(AL) So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.(AM) 17 The priests(AN) who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground,(AO) while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.(AP)

3 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God.
10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
16 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
