1 T hen Joshua rose early in the morning; and he and all the sons of Israel set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, and they lodged there before they crossed.

Na 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.

2 A t the end of three days the officers went through the midst of the camp;

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

3 a nd they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God with the Levitical priests carrying it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it.

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.

4 H owever, there shall be between you and it a distance of about 2, 000 cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before.”

Otiia 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.

5 T hen Joshua said to the people, “ Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”

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.

6 A nd Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over ahead of the people.” So they took up the ark of the covenant and went ahead of the people.

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.

7 N ow the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you.

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.

8 Y ou shall, moreover, command the priests who are carrying the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’”

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.

9 T hen Joshua said to the sons of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of the Lord your God.”

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

10 J oshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will assuredly dispossess from before you the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, and the Jebusite.

Na 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.

11 B ehold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over ahead of you into the Jordan.

Nana, 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.

12 N ow then, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe.

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

13 I t shall come about when the soles of the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, and the waters which are flowing down from above will stand in one heap.”

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.

14 S o when the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan with the priests carrying the ark of the covenant before the people,

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;

15 a nd when those who carried the ark came into the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying the ark were dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest),

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;

16 t he waters which were flowing down from above stood and rose up in one heap, a great distance away at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those which were flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho.

Ko 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.

17 A nd the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground, until all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan.

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.
