¹Joshua rose up early in the morning; and they moved from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel. They 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.

²It happened after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp;

²Kolme päeva pärast aga käisid ülevaatajad leeri läbi

³and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then you shall move from your place, and follow 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. Don’t come near to it, that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way before.”

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!'

⁵Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow Yahweh will do wonders among you.”

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

⁶Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people.” 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.

⁷Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

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

⁸You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’”

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

⁹Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of Yahweh your God.”

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

¹⁰Joshua said, “Hereby you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite out from before you.

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 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” of all the earth passes over before you into the Jordan.

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

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

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

¹³It shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one 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.'

¹⁴It happened, when the people moved from their tents to pass over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant being before the people,

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

¹⁵and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark had dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its 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 in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then 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.

¹⁷The priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over the 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.
