¹And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.

¹A Jozua vstal skoro ráno, a rušali sa zo Šittíma a prišli až k Jordánu, on i všetci synovia Izraelovi, a nocovali tam, prv ako prešli cezeň.

²And it came to pass at the end of three days, that the officers went through the camp;

²A stalo sa po troch dňoch, že prešli správcovia stredom tábora

³and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then remove from your place, and go after it;

³a prikázali ľudu a riekli: Keď uvidíte truhlu smluvy Hospodina, svojho Boha, a kňazov Levitov, že ju nesú, vtedy sa i vy pohnete so svojho miesta a pojdete za ňou.

⁴yet there shall be a distance between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Ye shall not come near it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

⁴Ale bude vzdialenosť medzi vami a medzi ňou okolo dva tisíce lakťov čo do miery. Nepriblížte sa k nej, aby ste znali cestu, ktorou máte ísť, lebo ste ešte nikdy neišli touto cestou.

⁵And Joshua said to the people, Hallow yourselves; for to-morrow Jehovah will do wonders in your midst.

⁵A Jozua povedal ľudu: Posväťte sa, lebo zajtra učiní Hospodin divy vo vašom strede.

⁶And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and go over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

⁶A Jozua povedal kňazom: Vezmite truhlu smluvy a iďte pred ľudom. A tak vzali truhlu smluvy a išli pred ľudom.

⁷And Jehovah said to 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 will I be with thee.

⁷A Hospodin riekol Jozuovi: Tohoto dňa ťa začnem zveličovať v očiach celého Izraela, aby vedeli, že jako som bol s Mojžišom, tak budem i s tebou.

⁸And thou shalt command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, stand still in the Jordan.

⁸A ty prikážeš kňazom, ktorí nesú truhlu smluvy, a povieš im: Keď prijdete až na pokraj vody Jordána, zastavíte sa a budete stáť v Jordáne.

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

⁹Potom povedal Jozua synom Izraelovým: Pristúpte sem a počujte slová Hospodina, svojho Boha!

¹⁰And Joshua said, Hereby shall ye know that the living ùGod is in your midst, and [that] he will without fail dispossess from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

¹⁰A zase povedal Jozua: Po tomto poznáte, že je silný Bôh živý vo vašom strede a že istotne vyženie zpred vašej tvári Kananeja, Heteja, Heveja, Ferezeja, Gergezeja, Amoreja a Jebuzeja.

¹¹Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is going over before you into the Jordan.

¹¹Hľa, truhla smluvy Pána celej zeme pojde pred vami do Jordána.

¹²And now take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe.

¹²A tak teraz vezmite si dvanásť mužov z pokolení Izraelových, po jednom mužovi z každého pokolenia.

¹³And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, the waters flowing down from above, shall be cut off, and shall stand up in a heap.

¹³A stane sa, keď spočinú stupy nôh kňazov, ktorí nesú truhlu Hospodina, Pána celej zeme, vo vode Jordána, že budú odrezané vody Jordána, vody, tečúce od hora, a budú stáť na jednej hromade.

¹⁴And it came to pass when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, that the priests bearing the ark of the covenant were before the people;

¹⁴A stalo sa, keď sa ľud pohnul zo svojich stánov, aby prešiel cez Jordán, a kňazi, ktorí niesli truhlu smluvy, pred ľudom,

¹⁵and when they that bore the ark were come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (and the Jordan is full over all its banks throughout the days of harvest),

¹⁵a keď prišli tí, ktorí niesli truhlu, až k Jordánu, a nohy kňazov, nesúcich truhlu, zamočili sa na kraji vody (a Jordán býva preplnený, takže rozlieva vody na všetky svoje brehy, každoročne v dobe žatvy),

¹⁶the waters which flowed down from above stood [and] rose up in a heap, very far, by Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan; and those that flowed down towards the sea of the plain, the salt sea, were completely cut off. And the people went over opposite to Jericho.

¹⁶že sa zastavily vody, sostupujúce od hora, a stály jako jedna hromada na veľmi ďaleko pri meste Adame, ktoré leží po strane Cartána, a tie, ktoré sostupovaly k moru púšte, k Soľnému moru, odtiekli celkom a boly odrezané, a ľud prešiel na miesto naproti Jerichu.

¹⁷And the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan. And all Israel went over on dry ground, until all the nation had completely gone over the Jordan.

¹⁷A kňazi, ktorí niesli truhlu smluvy Hospodinovej, stáli na suchu prostred Jordána nehýbajúc sa, a celý Izrael, všetci išli po suchu, dokiaľ neprešiel cez Jordán celý národ.
