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.

¹Joß cuulajak chic ekßela queßel Sitim laj Josué rochbeneb chixjunileb laj Israel ut queßcôeb. Queßcuulac cuan cuiß li nimaß Jordán. Abanan incßaß queßnumeß jun pacßal. Toj queßcana chi hilânc aran.

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

²Nak ac xnumeß oxib cutan, eb li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb laj Israel queßxsuti li naßajej li yôqueb cuiß chi hilânc.

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.

³Ut queßxye reheb chixjunileb chi joßcaßin: —Nak têril nak yôk chak chi châlc li Lokßlaj Câx li yôkeb chak chixcßambal eb laj levita laj tij, lâex tex-êlk chak saß lê naßaj ut texxic chirix,

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.

⁴re nak tênau li be bar yôkex chi xic, xban nak lâex mâ jun sut numenakex saß li be aßan. Abanan mexjiloc chi nachß riqßuin li Lokßlaj Câx li xocxo cuiß lix contrato li Dios. Jun kilómetro ban xnajtil cuânkex chirix, chanqueb laj cßamol be.

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

⁵Laj Josué quixye reheb li tenamit: —Santobresihomak êrib xban nak cuulaj tixbânu xnînkal ru milagro li Kâcuaß saß kayânk.—

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.

⁶Ut laj Josué quixye ajcuiß reheb laj tij: —Pakomak li Lokßlaj Câx ut numenkex chiruheb li tenamit, chan. Ut eb aßan queßxpako li Lokßlaj Câx ut queßnumeß chiruheb li tenamit.—

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.

⁷Li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj Josué: —Chalen anakcuan tinqßue âcuanquil re nak eb laj Israel teßxqßue âlokßal ut teßxnau nak lâin cuanquin âcuiqßuin joß nak quincuan riqßuin laj Moisés.

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.

⁸Tâye reheb laj tij li yôkeb chi cßamoc re li Lokßlaj Câx, “Nak tex-oc saß li nimaß Jordán, aran texxaklîk,” chan li Kâcuaß.

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

⁹Laj Josué quixye reheb laj Israel: —Jilonkex chak ut abihomak li cßaßru yô chixyebal li Kâcuaß li kaDios.—

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.

¹⁰Ut quixye ajcuiß reheb: —Nak li Lokßlaj Câx tânumekß jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán, tênau nak li yoßyôquil Dios cuan saß kayânk ut aßan ajcuiß tâisînk reheb laj cananeo, eb laj heteo, eb laj heveo, eb laj ferezeo, eb laj gergeseo, eb laj amorreo ut eb laj jebuseo saß li kabe li bar tonumekß cuiß.

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

¹¹Ut lix Lokßlaj Câx li Kâcuaß laj êchal re chixjunil li ruchichßochß, aßan tâcßamok be chiku nak tonumekß jun pacßal li nimaß.

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

¹²Anakcuan ut tâsicß ruheb cablaju chi cuînk. Junjûnk chi cuînk tâsicß saß xyânkeb li junjûnk xtêpaleb laj Israel.

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.

¹³Nak teßxxakab li rokeb saß li nimaß Jordán eb laj tij li yôkeb chi cßamoc re lix Lokßlaj Câx li Kâcuaß laj êchal re chixjunil li ruchichßochß, li haß tixjach rib chi ribil rib. Li rok li haß li nachal chak takecß tixtûb rib. Incßaß chic tâbêk, chan laj Josué.

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;

¹⁴Eb laj Israel queßel chak saß lix naßajeb li cuanqueb cuiß ut eb laj tij li yôqueb chi cßamoc re li Lokßlaj Câx, aßaneb li yôqueb chi cßamoc be chiruheb.

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,)

¹⁵Li nimaß Jordán cau yô chi bêc rok xban nak nabutßin saß xkßehil li sicßoc trigo. Ut eb laj tij li yôqueb chi cßamoc re li Lokßlaj Câx queßxqßue li rokeb saß li haß chire li nimaß.

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.

¹⁶Ut li rok li haß li nachal chak takecß quixakli nachß riqßuin li tenamit Adam li cuan chixcßatk li naßajej Saretán. Li tenamit aßan najt cuan riqßuin li naßajej li yôqueb cuiß chi numecß laj Israel. Ut incßaß chic naxic li haß takßa saß li palau Mar Muerto xcßabaß. Joßcan nak quixjach rib li haß nak quixakli. Ut eb laj Israel queßnumeß jun pacßal saß xjayal li naßajej Jericó.Ut chaki li chßochß queßnumeß cuiß chixjunileb laj Israel saß li nimaß Jordán. Ut eb laj tij li yôqueb chi cßamoc re lix Lokßlaj Câx li Kâcuaß xakxôqueb saß xyi li nimaß Jordán nak yôqueb chi numecß li tenamit, ut chaki li chßochß li xakxôqueb cuiß.

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.

¹⁷Ut chaki li chßochß queßnumeß cuiß chixjunileb laj Israel saß li nimaß Jordán. Ut eb laj tij li yôqueb chi cßamoc re lix Lokßlaj Câx li Kâcuaß xakxôqueb saß xyi li nimaß Jordán nak yôqueb chi numecß li tenamit, ut chaki li chßochß li xakxôqueb cuiß.
