1 N a ka maranga wawe a Hohua i te ata, a ka turia atu e ratou i Hitimi, ka tae ki Horano, a ia me nga tama katoa a Iharaira, a moe ana ki reira i te mea kiano i whiti noa.

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

2 N a, i te paunga o nga ra e toru, ka haere nga rangatira na waenganui o te puni;

And after three days, the officers went through the camp,

3 A ka whakahau i te iwi, ka mea, E kite koutou i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, i nga tohunga hoki, i nga Riwaiti e amo ana, hei kona ka whakatika atu i o koutou nohoanga, ka haere i muri.

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.

4 O tiia kia whai takiwa ki waenganui o koutou, o taua mea; kia rua mano whatianga, he mea whanganga marie; kaua e whakatata ki taua mea, kia mohio ai koutou ki te huarahi e haere ai koutou: kahore nei hoki koutou i haere i tena huarahi i mua ake ne i.

Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; do not come near unto it that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way before now.

5 A i mea ano a Hohua ki te iwi, Whakatapu i a koutou: ko apopo hoki a Ihowa mahi ai i nga mea whakamiharo ki waenganui i a koutou.

And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.

6 I mea ano a Hohua ki nga tohunga, Hapainga ake te aaka o te kawenata, haere i mua i te iwi. A hapainga ana e ratou te aaka o te kawenata, a haere ana i mua i te iwi.

And Joshua spoke unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant and pass before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

7 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Ko aianei ahau timata ai te whakanui i a koe ki te aroaro o Iharaira katoa, kia mohio ai ratou, i a mohi ahau, ka pera ano ahau ki a koe.

¶ And the LORD said unto Joshua, From this day I will 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.

8 A mau e whakahau ki nga tohunga e amo ana i te aaka o te kawenata, e mea, E tae koutou ki te tapa o te wai o Horano, me ata tu i roto i Horano.

Therefore, thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are entered into the brink of the water of the Jordan, ye shall stand still in the Jordan.

9 N a ka mea a Hohua ki nga tama a Iharaira, Haere mai, whakarongo ki nga kupu a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua.

And Joshua said unto the sons of Israel, Draw near and hear the words of the LORD your God.

10 N a ka mea a Hohua, Ma konei koutou ka mohio ai kei roto i a koutou te Atua ora, a ka peia rawatia e ia i to koutou aroaro nga Kanaani, nga Hiti, nga Hiwi, nga Perihi, nga Kirikahi, nga Amori, me nga Iepuhi.

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 Canaanite and the Hittite and the Hivite and the Perizzite and the Girgashite and the Amorite and the Jebusite.

11 N ana, ko te aaka o te kawenata a te Ariki o te ao katoa te haere nei i mua i a koutou ki roto o Horano.

Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes the Jordan before you.

12 N a motuhia ki a koutou kia tekau ma rua tangata o nga iwi o Iharaira, kia takikotahi te tangata o te iwi.

Now, therefore, take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of each tribe a man.

13 A , ina tatu nga kapu o nga waewae o nga tohunga e amo ana i te aaka a Ihowa, a te Ariki o te ao katoa, ki nga wai o Horano, ka motuhia nga wai o Horano, ara nga wai e rere mai ana i runga; a ka tu ake, kotahi ano puranga.

And when 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 the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off; for the waters that come down from above shall stand in a heap.

14 A , no te haerenga atu o te iwi i o ratou teneti ki te whakawhiti i Horano, me nga tohunga hoki e amo ana i te aaka o te kawenata i mua i te iwi;

¶ And it came to pass when the people removed from their tents to pass the Jordan and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,

15 A , i te taenga o nga kaiamo i te aaka ki Horano, i te tukunga atu hoki o nga waewae o nga tohunga e amo ana i te aaka ki te taha o te wai; e ngawha ana hoki a Horano ki runga i ona pareparenga katoa i nga ra katoa o te kotinga;

when those that bore the ark entered into the Jordan, as soon as the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brim of the water (for Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),

16 K o te tino turanga o nga wai e heke iho ana i runga, ara ake ana kotahi ano puranga, i tawhiti noa atu i te pa i Arama, i te taha o Haretana: a, ko nga wai e rere iho ana ki te moana o te mania, ki te Moana Tote, mimiti ana, motu ke atu ana: a w hiti ana te iwi i te ritenga atu o Heriko.

that the waters which came down from above stood and rose up in a heap very far from the city of 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.

17 A tu marie ana nga tohunga i amo nei i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i te wahi maroke i waenganui o Horano, me te haere ano a Iharaira katoa ki tawahi na te wahi maroke, a poto noa te iwi katoa te whiti i Horano.

But the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan until all the people finished passing the Jordan; and all Israel passed on dry ground.
