Nagtabok ang mga Israelinhon sa Jordan
3 Karon, aga pa gid nagbangon si Josue kag ang tanan nga Israelinhon. Naghalin sila sa Shitim kag nagkadto sa Suba sang Jordan. Nagkampo anay sila didto sa wala pa sila magtabok. 2 Pagkaligad sang tatlo ka adlaw, naglibot sa kampo ang mga pangulo 3 kag nagsiling sa mga tawo, “Kon makita ninyo nga ginadala sang mga pari nga mga kaliwat ni Levi ang Kahon sang Kasugtanan sang Ginoo nga inyo Dios, magsunod kamo sa ila, 4 agod mahibaluan ninyo kon diin kamo maagi, kay wala pa gid kamo makaagi diri halin sang una. Pero indi lang kamo magpalapit sa Kahon sang Kasugtanan; mag-antad kamo sing mga isa ka kilometro.”
5 Dayon ginsilingan ni Josue ang mga tawo, “Magpakatinlo kamo sang inyo kaugalingon, kay buwas mahimo ang Ginoo sa inyo sang makatilingala nga mga butang.” 6 Ginsilingan man ni Josue ang mga pari, “Dal-a na ninyo ang Kahon sang Kasugtanan kag mag-una kamo sa mga tawo.” Gintuman nila ang ginsiling ni Josue.
7 Karon, nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Josue, “Paagi sa himuon ko subong, padunggan ka sang imo kapareho nga mga Israelinhon, kag mahibaluan nila nga nagaupod ako sa imo pareho sang akon pag-upod kay Moises. 8 Silinga ang mga pari nga nagadala sang Kahon sang Kasugtanan nga kon mag-abot na gani sila sa Suba sang Jordan, magpundo sila sa tubig.”
9 Gani gintawag ni Josue ang mga tawo, “Dali kamo, kay sugiran ko kamo kon ano ang ginsiling sang Ginoo nga inyo Dios. 10 Karon mahibaluan ninyo nga nagaupod sa inyo ang buhi nga Dios, kay ipatabog gid niya sa inyo ang mga Canaanhon, Hithanon, Hivhanon, Periznon, Girgashnon, Amornon kag mga Jebusnon. 11 Siguraduhon ninyo nga ang Kahon sang Kasugtanan sang Ginoo nga nagagahom sa bug-os nga kalibutan magauna sa inyo samtang nagatabok kamo sa Suba sang Jordan. 12 Gani karon, magpili kamo sang dose ka tawo, isa sa kada tribo sang Israel. 13 Kon mag-ubog na gani ang mga pari nga nagadala sang Kahon sang Ginoo nga nagagahom sa bug-os nga kalibutan, mauntat ang pag-ilig sang Suba sang Jordan. Ang tubig sini halin sa ibabaw magapundo sa isa ka lugar.”
14-15 Tig-alani sadto kag nagabaha ang suba. Naghalin ang mga tawo sa ila mga kampo agod magtabok sa suba. Nagauna sa ila ang mga pari nga nagadala sang Kahon sang Kasugtanan. Pag-ubog gid sang mga pari sa suba, 16 nag-untat dayon sa pag-ilig ang tubig. Nagpundo ang tubig sa isa ka lugar nga ginatawag nga Adam—isa ka banwa malapit sa Zaretan. Wala sing tubig nga nag-ilig pakadto sa Patay nga Dagat,[a] gani nakatabok ang mga tawo sa lugar nga malapit sa Jerico. 17 Nagtindog sa tunga sang nagmala nga suba ang mga pari nga nagadala sang Kahon sang Kasugtanan sang Ginoo samtang nagatabok ang tanan nga katawhan sang Israel. Wala sila maghalin didto hasta nakatabok ang tanan.

Crossing the Jordan
3 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim(A) and went to the Jordan,(B) where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days(C) the officers(D) went throughout the camp,(E) 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant(F) of the Lord your God, and the Levitical(G) priests(H) carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[a](I) between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
5 Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves,(J) for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things(K) among you.”
6 Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.” So they took it up and went ahead of them.
7 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you(L) in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses.(M) 8 Tell the priests(N) who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the Jordan’s waters, go and stand in the river.’”
9 Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God. 10 This is how you will know that the living God(O) is among you(P) and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites,(Q) Hivites, Perizzites,(R) Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites.(S) 11 See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth(T) will go into the Jordan ahead of you.(U) 12 Now then, choose twelve men(V) from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 13 And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth(W)—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream(X) will be cut off(Y) and stand up in a heap.(Z)”
14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant(AA) went ahead(AB) of them. 15 Now the Jordan(AC) is at flood stage(AD) all during harvest.(AE) Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, 16 the water from upstream stopped flowing.(AF) It piled up in a heap(AG) a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan,(AH) while the water flowing down(AI) to the Sea of the Arabah(AJ) (that is, the Dead Sea(AK)) was completely cut off.(AL) So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.(AM) 17 The priests(AN) who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground,(AO) while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.(AP)

King James Version
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.
2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
3 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 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.
5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God.
10 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.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
13 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.
14 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;
15 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,)
16 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.
17 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.
