Joshua

3

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.
1 Yasuwa tun za susubay da hinay. I gana ka fun Sittim ka kaa Urdun me gaa, nga nda Israyla izey kulu. I zumbu noodin jina za i mana daŋandi.
2And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
2 A ciya mo jirbi hinza banda wongu nyaŋey soobay ka gana gata ra.
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.
3 I goono ga borey lordi ka ne: «Saaya kaŋ cine araŋ di araŋ Rabbo Irikoy sappa sundurko kaŋ go Lawitey alfagey boŋ ga jare, saaya din gaa no araŋ mo ga tun araŋ nangey ra k'i banda gana.
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.
4 Amma wa jandi cindi araŋ d'a game ra, danga kambe kar zambar hinka cine, (araŋ ma si maan a gaa bo), zama araŋ ma bay fondo kaŋ no araŋ ga gana, zama araŋ mana fonda din gana ce fo.»
5And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
5 Yasuwa ne jama se: «W'araŋ boŋ hanandi, zama suba no Rabbi ga dambara goyyaŋ te araŋ game ra.»
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.
6 Yasuwa ye ka salaŋ alfagey se ka ne: «Wa sappa sundurko sambu ka daŋandi jama jine.» I binde na sappa sundurko sambu ka furo jama jine.
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.
7 Rabbi ne Yasuwa se mo: «Hunkuna no ay ga sintin ka ni beerandi Israyla jama kulu jine, zama i ma bay kaŋ ay go ni banda, danga mate kaŋ cine ay goro Musa banda.
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.
8 Ni ma alfagey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga sappa sundurko jare lordi ka ne: ‹Waati kaŋ araŋ to Urdun harey jabo gaa, araŋ ma kay tak! Urdun ra.› »
9And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
9 Yasuwa binde ne Israyla izey se: «Wa kaa ka maa Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo sanney.»
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.
10 Yasuwa ne koyne: «Ne no araŋ ga bay kaŋ Irikoy fundikoono go araŋ do haray. Sikka si mo a ga Kanaanancey da Hibancey, da Perizancey, da Jirgasancey, da Amorancey, da Yebusancey gaaray araŋ jine.
11Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
11 Guna, ndunnya kulu Koyo sundurko ga bisa araŋ jine ka koy Urdun ra.
12Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
12 Araŋ ma boro way cindi hinka suuban Israyla izey kundey ra, kunda kulu ra boro fo.
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.
13 A ga ciya mo, waati kaŋ alfagey kaŋ yaŋ go ga Rabbi, ndunnya kulu Koyo sundurko jare, i ce taamey furo Urdun haro ra, i ga Urdun haro dumbu ka fay, danga haro kaŋ ga gunguray ka fun tudey boŋ ga margu-margu nangu folloŋ.»
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;
14 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ cine borey fun ngey kuuru-fuwey ra zama ngey ma Urdun daŋandi se, alfagey mo kaŋ yaŋ goono ga sappa sundurko jare go jama jine.
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,)
15 Saaya kaŋ cine sundurko sambukoy kaa ka to Urdun, alfagey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga sundurko jare cey miri haro me gaa, (zama heemar waate kulu Urdun haro ga furo no,)
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.
16 kala haro kaŋ go ga gunguray ka fun tudey boŋ kay. A margu-margu nangu folloŋ, jandi kuuku fo no ngey nda Adma game ra, birno kaŋ ga maan Zaretan. Haro kaŋ zuru ka koy Gooru* Beero Teeko ra mo, danga Ciiri Teeko nooya, i n'a dumbu parkatak! Borey daŋandi mo naŋ kaŋ day ga saba nda Yeriko.
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.
17 Alfagey kaŋ yaŋ go ga Rabbi sappa sundurko sambu kay Urdun bindo ra laabu koga boŋ. Israyla kulu mo daŋandi ka bisa laabu koga boŋ, kala jama kulu na Urdun daŋandi, pat!
