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.

¹In Jozue vstane zjutraj zgodaj, in odpravijo se iz Sitima in pridejo na Jordan on in vsi sinovi Izraelovi. In ondi ostanejo, dokler niso šli na drugo stran.

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

²In zgodi se po treh dneh, da so šli oblastniki sredi tabora

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.

³in velevali ljudstvu, rekoč: Kadar vidite skrinjo zaveze GOSPODA, svojega Boga, in duhovnike levite, da jo neso, odrinite s svojega mesta in pojdite za njo!

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.

⁴Toda med vami in med njo bodi presledka okoli dva tisoč komolcev. Ne približajte se ji, da bi vedeli, po kateri poti vam je hoditi; zakaj niste šli po tej poti poprej.

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

⁵In Jozue veli ljudstvu: Posvetite se! kajti jutri stori GOSPOD čudeže med vami.

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.

⁶In duhovnikom reče Jozue: Nesite skrinjo zaveze in pojdite pred ljudstvom! In nesli so skrinjo zaveze in šli pred ljudstvom.

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.

⁷In GOSPOD reče Jozuetu: Danes te začnem poveličevati pred vsem Izraelom, da bi vedeli, kakor sem bil z Mojzesom, tako da bodem s teboj.

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.

⁸Ti pa zapovej duhovnikom, ki nosijo skrinjo zaveze, rekoč: Kadar stopite ob kraju v jordansko vodo, tiho postojte v Jordanu!

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

⁹In Jozue reče sinovom Izraelovim: Pristopite in čujte besede GOSPODA, svojega Boga!

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.

¹⁰In Jozue de: Po tem spoznajte, da je živi Bog mogočni med vami ter da gotovo izžene izpred vas Kanaance, Hetejce, Hevejce, Ferizejce, Girgasejce, Amorejce in Jebusejce:

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

¹¹glejte, skrinja zaveze Gospoda vse zemlje pojde pred vami v Jordan.

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

¹²Vzemite si torej dvanajst mož iz Izraelovih rodov, po enega iz vsakega rodu.

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.

¹³Ko pa obstanejo v vodi jordanski podplati nog duhovnikov, ki nosijo skrinjo Jehove, Gospoda vse zemlje, se razdeli voda Jordana, in voda, ki teče odzgoraj, se ustavi in bode kakor jez.

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;

¹⁴Ko se torej odpravi ljudstvo iz šatorov svojih, da bi šlo čez Jordan, in duhovniki so nesli skrinjo zaveze pred ljudstvom,

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,)

¹⁵in ko so prišli tisti, ki so nesli skrinjo, k Jordanu in so se duhovnikom, s skrinjo na ramah, omočile noge kraj vode (Jordan pa je poln in stopa čez vse bregove ves čas žetve),

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.

¹⁶tedaj se ustavijo vode, ki so tekle odzgoraj doli, in se vzdignejo kakor v jez in se kopičijo prav daleč, pri mestu Adamu, ki je poleg Zartana; vode pa, ki so tekle doli k morju v nižini, k Slanemu morju, izginejo docela. In ljudstvo je šlo preko Jordana prav nasproti Jerihu.Duhovniki pa, ki so nesli skrinjo zaveze, so stali trdno na suhem sredi Jordana, in ves Izrael je šel čez po suhem, dokler ni prešlo docela vse ljudstvo čez Jordan.

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.

¹⁷Duhovniki pa, ki so nesli skrinjo zaveze, so stali trdno na suhem sredi Jordana, in ves Izrael je šel čez po suhem, dokler ni prešlo docela vse ljudstvo čez Jordan.
