¹And 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.

¹Ja Joosua tõusis hommikul vara ja nad läksid teele Sittimist ning tulid Jordani äärde, tema ja kõik Iisraeli lapsed; ja nad ööbisid seal, enne kui nad üle läksid.

²And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;

²Kolme päeva pärast aga käisid ülevaatajad leeri läbi

³And 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.

³ja andsid rahvale käsu, öeldes: 'Kui te näete Issanda, oma Jumala seaduselaegast ja leviitpreestreid seda kandvat, siis minge oma asukohast teele ja käige selle järel!

⁴Yet 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.

⁴Aga teie ja selle vahel olgu vahet umbes kaks tuhat mõõdetud küünart - te ei tohi minna selle ligi -, et te teaksite teed, mida teil tuleb käia, sest varem te ei ole seda teed käinud!'

⁵And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.

⁵Ja Joosua ütles rahvale: 'Pühitsege endid, sest homme teeb Issand teie keskel imetegusid!'

⁶And 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.

⁶Ja Joosua rääkis preestritega, öeldes: 'Kandke seaduselaegast ja minge rahva eel!' Ja nemad tõstsid seaduselaeka üles ning käisid rahva eel.

⁷And 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.

⁷Ja Issand ütles Joosuale: 'Täna ma teen sind suureks kogu Iisraeli silmis, et nad teaksid, et mina olen sinuga, nõnda nagu ma olin Moosesega.

⁸And 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.

⁸Käsi preestreid, kes kannavad seaduselaegast, ja ütle: Kui te jõuate Jordani vee äärde, siis jääge peatuma Jordani kaldale!'

⁹And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.

⁹Ja Joosua ütles Iisraeli lastele: 'Tulge siia ja kuulge Issanda, oma Jumala sõnu!'

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Ja Joosua kõneles: 'Sellest te saate teada, et elav Jumal on teie keskel ja ajab tõesti teie eest ära kaananlased, hetid, hiivlased, perislased, girgaaslased, emorlased ja jebuuslased:

¹¹Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.

¹¹vaata, kogu maailma Issanda seaduselaegas läheb teie eel läbi Jordani!

¹²Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.

¹²Nüüd aga võtke endile Iisraeli suguharudest kaksteist meest, igast suguharust mees.

¹³And 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.

¹³Niipea kui nende preestrite jalatallad, kes kannavad Issanda, kogu maailma Issanda seaduselaegast, laskuvad Jordani vette, katkeb Jordani veevool; vesi, mis voolab ülaltpoolt, jääb seisma paisu taha.'

¹⁴And 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;

¹⁴Ja rahvas läks oma telkidest teele, et minna üle Jordani, ja preestrid, kes kandsid seaduselaegast, olid rahva eel.

¹⁵And 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,)

¹⁵Ja niipea kui need, kes kandsid laegast, jõudsid Jordani äärde ja laegast kandvate preestrite jalad puudutasid veepiiri - kõik Jordani luhad on ju vett täis kogu lõikusaja -,

¹⁶That 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.

¹⁶jäi ülaltpoolt voolav vesi seisma, jäädes paisu taha väga kaugel Saartani linna külje all asuva Adami linna juures, ja vesi, mis voolas alla lauskmaa merre, Soolamerre, kadus täiesti; ja rahvas läks üle Jeeriko kohalt.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷Preestrid, kes kandsid Issanda seaduselaegast, jäid kindlalt seisma kuivale keset Jordanit, ja kogu Iisrael läks üle kuiva mööda, kuni kogu rahvas viimseni oli läinud üle Jordani.
