Nagtabok ang mga Israelinhon sa Jordan
3 Karon, aga pa gid nagbangon si Josue kag ang tanan nga Israelinhon. Naghalin sila sa Shitim kag nagkadto sa Suba sang Jordan. Nagkampo anay sila didto sa wala pa sila magtabok. 2 Pagkaligad sang tatlo ka adlaw, naglibot sa kampo ang mga pangulo 3 kag nagsiling sa mga tawo, “Kon makita ninyo nga ginadala sang mga pari nga mga kaliwat ni Levi ang Kahon sang Kasugtanan sang Ginoo nga inyo Dios, magsunod kamo sa ila, 4 agod mahibaluan ninyo kon diin kamo maagi, kay wala pa gid kamo makaagi diri halin sang una. Pero indi lang kamo magpalapit sa Kahon sang Kasugtanan; mag-antad kamo sing mga isa ka kilometro.”
5 Dayon ginsilingan ni Josue ang mga tawo, “Magpakatinlo kamo sang inyo kaugalingon, kay buwas mahimo ang Ginoo sa inyo sang makatilingala nga mga butang.” 6 Ginsilingan man ni Josue ang mga pari, “Dal-a na ninyo ang Kahon sang Kasugtanan kag mag-una kamo sa mga tawo.” Gintuman nila ang ginsiling ni Josue.
7 Karon, nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Josue, “Paagi sa himuon ko subong, padunggan ka sang imo kapareho nga mga Israelinhon, kag mahibaluan nila nga nagaupod ako sa imo pareho sang akon pag-upod kay Moises. 8 Silinga ang mga pari nga nagadala sang Kahon sang Kasugtanan nga kon mag-abot na gani sila sa Suba sang Jordan, magpundo sila sa tubig.”
9 Gani gintawag ni Josue ang mga tawo, “Dali kamo, kay sugiran ko kamo kon ano ang ginsiling sang Ginoo nga inyo Dios. 10 Karon mahibaluan ninyo nga nagaupod sa inyo ang buhi nga Dios, kay ipatabog gid niya sa inyo ang mga Canaanhon, Hithanon, Hivhanon, Periznon, Girgashnon, Amornon kag mga Jebusnon. 11 Siguraduhon ninyo nga ang Kahon sang Kasugtanan sang Ginoo nga nagagahom sa bug-os nga kalibutan magauna sa inyo samtang nagatabok kamo sa Suba sang Jordan. 12 Gani karon, magpili kamo sang dose ka tawo, isa sa kada tribo sang Israel. 13 Kon mag-ubog na gani ang mga pari nga nagadala sang Kahon sang Ginoo nga nagagahom sa bug-os nga kalibutan, mauntat ang pag-ilig sang Suba sang Jordan. Ang tubig sini halin sa ibabaw magapundo sa isa ka lugar.”
14-15 Tig-alani sadto kag nagabaha ang suba. Naghalin ang mga tawo sa ila mga kampo agod magtabok sa suba. Nagauna sa ila ang mga pari nga nagadala sang Kahon sang Kasugtanan. Pag-ubog gid sang mga pari sa suba, 16 nag-untat dayon sa pag-ilig ang tubig. Nagpundo ang tubig sa isa ka lugar nga ginatawag nga Adam—isa ka banwa malapit sa Zaretan. Wala sing tubig nga nag-ilig pakadto sa Patay nga Dagat,[a] gani nakatabok ang mga tawo sa lugar nga malapit sa Jerico. 17 Nagtindog sa tunga sang nagmala nga suba ang mga pari nga nagadala sang Kahon sang Kasugtanan sang Ginoo samtang nagatabok ang tanan nga katawhan sang Israel. Wala sila maghalin didto hasta nakatabok ang tanan.

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)

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.
