约书亚记 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約書亞率領以色列人過約旦河
3 約書亞清早起來,和全體以色列人從什亭出發,來到約旦河,在那裡住宿,等候過河。 2 過了三天,官長走遍營中, 3 吩咐人民說:“你們看見耶和華你們的 神的約櫃,又看見抬約櫃的利未支派的祭司的時候,就要從你們所住的地方出發,跟在約櫃後面走。 4 只是你們和約櫃之間應有一段距離,相隔約一公里,不可走近約櫃,好使你們知道你們應走的路,因為這條路你們以前沒有走過。”
5 約書亞對人民說:“你們要自潔,因為明天耶和華要在你們中間行奇事。” 6 約書亞又吩咐祭司說:“你們要抬起約櫃,在人民前面過河去。”於是他們抬起約櫃,走在人民的前面。 7 耶和華對約書亞說:“今天起,我要使你在以色列眾人眼中成為尊大,這樣他們就知道我怎樣與摩西同在,也必照樣與你同在。 8 你要吩咐抬著約櫃的祭司說:‘你們到了約旦河水邊的時候,要站在約旦河中。’” 9 約書亞對以色列人說:“你們走近這裡來,聆聽耶和華你們的 神的話。 10-11 約書亞說:“看哪,全地之主的約櫃(“全地之主的約櫃”或譯:“約櫃,全地之主”)必在你們前面過約旦河,你們因此就知道永活的 神是在你們中間,他必把迦南人、赫人、希未人、比利洗人、革迦撒人、亞摩利人和耶布斯人,從你們面前驅逐出去。 12 現在你們要從以色列眾支派中選十二個人,每支派一人。 13 抬全地之主耶和華約櫃的祭司的腳掌一踏進約旦河水裡,約旦河的水必被截斷,那從上游流下來的水必立起成壘。”
14 人民離開帳棚出發,要過約旦河的時候,抬約櫃的祭司在人民的前面。 15 抬約櫃的祭司來到約旦河,他們的腳碰到水邊的時候(原來約旦河水在收割的日子,常是漲過兩岸的), 16 水就停住了,那從上游流下來的水立起成壘,在很遠的地方,就是在撒拉但旁邊的亞當城那裡停住;那往下流入亞拉巴海,就是鹽海的水完全被截斷;於是人民就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間的乾地上站住,等以色列眾人都在乾地上走過去,直到全國的人都完全走過了約旦河為止。

El paso del Jordán
3 Y Josué se levantó muy de mañana; y él y todos los hijos de Israel partieron de Sitim(A) y llegaron al Jordán, y acamparon allí antes de cruzar. 2 Y sucedió que al cabo de tres días los oficiales pasaron por medio del campamento(B); 3 y dieron órdenes al pueblo, diciendo: Cuando veáis el arca del pacto del Señor vuestro Dios y a los sacerdotes levitas llevándola(C), partiréis de vuestro lugar y la seguiréis. 4 Sin embargo, dejaréis entre vosotros y ella una distancia de unos dos mil codos[a]. No os acerquéis a ella para saber el camino por donde debéis ir, porque no habéis pasado antes por este camino.
5 Entonces Josué dijo al pueblo: Consagraos(D), porque mañana el Señor hará maravillas entre vosotros. 6 Y habló Josué a los sacerdotes, diciendo: Tomad el arca del pacto y pasad delante del pueblo. Y ellos tomaron el arca del pacto y fueron delante del pueblo.
7 Y el Señor dijo a Josué: Hoy comenzaré a exaltarte a los ojos de todo Israel, para que sepan que tal como estuve con Moisés, estaré contigo(E). 8 Además, ordenarás a los sacerdotes que llevan el arca del pacto, diciendo: «Cuando lleguéis a la orilla de las aguas del Jordán, os detendréis en el Jordán». 9 Entonces Josué dijo a los hijos de Israel: Acercaos y oíd las palabras del Señor vuestro Dios. 10 Y Josué añadió: En esto conoceréis que el Dios vivo(F) está entre vosotros, y que ciertamente expulsará[b] de delante de vosotros a los cananeos, a los hititas, a los heveos, a los ferezeos, a los gergeseos, a los amorreos y a los jebuseos(G). 11 He aquí, el arca del pacto del Señor de toda la tierra(H) va a pasar el Jordán delante de vosotros. 12 Ahora pues, tomad doce hombres de las tribus de Israel, un hombre de cada tribu(I). 13 Y sucederá que cuando las plantas de los pies de los sacerdotes que llevan el arca del Señor, el Señor de toda la tierra, se asienten en las aguas del Jordán, las aguas del Jordán quedarán cortadas, y las aguas que fluyen[c] de arriba se detendrán en un montón(J).
14 Y aconteció que cuando el pueblo salió de sus tiendas para pasar el Jordán con los sacerdotes llevando el arca del pacto(K) delante del pueblo, 15 y cuando los que llevaban el arca entraron en el Jordán y los pies de los sacerdotes que llevaban el arca se mojaron en la orilla del agua (porque el Jordán se desborda por todas sus riberas todos los días de la cosecha(L)), 16 las aguas que venían[d] de arriba se detuvieron y se elevaron(M) en un montón(N), a una gran distancia en Adam, la ciudad que está al lado de Saretán; y las que descendían hacia el mar de Arabá(O), el mar Salado, fueron cortadas completamente. Y el pueblo pasó frente a Jericó. 17 Y los sacerdotes que llevaban el arca del pacto del Señor estuvieron en tierra seca en medio del Jordán mientras que todo Israel cruzaba sobre tierra seca(P), hasta que todo el pueblo acabó de pasar el Jordán.

Joshua 3
New International Version
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)

Joshua 3
King James Version
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.
