Joshua 3

And 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.
Jozye leve granmaten, epi li menm ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la yo kite Sitim kote yo te ye a, yo rive devan larivyè Jouden an. Epi yo pase nwit lan la anvan yo janbe lòt bò a.
And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
Twa jou apre sa, chèf yo mache nan tout kan an.
And 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.
Yo t'ap bay pèp la lòd sa pou yo fè. Yo t'ap di yo: -Lè n'a wè prèt yo ak moun Levi yo leve Bwat Kontra Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou yo pati, n'a fè pakèt nou pou nou ka swiv yo.
Yet 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.
Se konsa n'a konnen ki wout pou nou pran, paske nou poko janm pase bò isit la. Men, piga nou pwoche twò pre Bwat Kontra a. N'a kite yon distans senksan (500) mèt konsa ant li ak nou.
And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
Apre sa, Jozye di pèp la: -Mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou fè sèvis pou Bondye, paske denmen Seyè a pral fè mèvèy devan je nou.
And 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.
Jozye pale ak prèt yo, li di yo: -Pran Bwat Kontra a, epi pran devan pèp la sou wout la. Prèt yo pran Bwat Kontra a, epi yo pran devan pèp la.
And 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.
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Sa mwen pral fè jòdi a pral fè tout pèp Izrayèl la respekte ou tankou yon grannèg. Yo pral konnen mwen kanpe la avè ou menm jan mwen te kanpe avèk Moyiz.
And 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.
Ou menm, pase prèt k'ap pote Bwat Kontra a lòd sa a. Di yo lè y'a rive bò rivyè a, y'a antre nan dlo a, epi y'a rete toupre rivaj la.
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
Lè sa a, Jozye di moun pèp Izrayèl la: -Pwoche non: Vin tande sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, gen pou di nou.
And 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.
Lèfini, Jozye di yo konsa: -Jòdi a, nou pral konnen Seyè a, Bondye vivan an, nan mitan nou vre. Li pral chase devan nou moun Kanaran yo, moun Et yo, moun Evi yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Gigach yo, moun Amori yo, moun Jebis yo.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
Bwat Kontra Mèt tout latè a pral janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an anvan nou.
Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
Chwazi douzòm, yonn nan chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
And 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.
Lè prèt k'ap pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, Mèt tout latè a, va mete pye yo nan dlo larivyè Jouden an, larivyè a pral sispann koule desann, dlo a pral gonfle yon sèl kote bò tèt dlo a.
And 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;
Se konsa, pèp la leve, yo kite kote yo te ye a. Yo pati pou janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an. Prèt yo pran devan pèp la avèk Bwat Kontra a.
And 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,)
Se te sezon rekòt, rivyè a t'ap desann, li te gonfle moute sou tout rivaj la. Lè prèt ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra a rive bò larivyè Jouden an, yo mete pye yo nan dlo a.
That 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.
Dlo ki t'ap koule desann lan sispann koule. Li gonfle yon sèl bò, bò anwo byen lwen, jouk Adam, lavil ki te toupre Zaretan an. Pa t' gen dlo ki t'ap koule desann nan lanmè Mouri a ankò. Se konsa pèp la janbe lòt bò larivyè a toupre lavil Jeriko.
And 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.
Pandan pèp la t'ap janbe lòt bò san tak dlo pa mouye pye yo, prèt yo te rete kanpe nan mitan larivyè a avèk Bwat Kontra a. Pa t' gen tak dlo kote yo te ye a. Yo rete kanpe la jouk tout pèp la te fin pase nèt.
