Chapter 3

|
1 約書亞清早起來，和以色列眾人都離開什亭，來到約旦河，就住在那裏，等候過河。
|
1 And Joshua3091 rose7925 early7925 in the morning;1242 and they removed5265 from Shittim,7851 and came935 to Jordan,3383 he and all3605 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and lodged3885 there8033 before2962 they passed5674 over.5674
|
|
2 過了三天，官長走遍軍［host］中；
|
2 And it came1961 to pass after7097 three7969 days,3117 that the officers7860 went5674 through7130 the host;4264
|
|
3 吩咐百姓說：「你們看見耶和華─你們神的約櫃，又見祭司利未人抬著，就要離開所住的地方，跟著約櫃去。
|
3 And they commanded6680 the people,5971 saying,559 When you see7200 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 your God,430 and the priests3548 the Levites3881 bearing5375 it, then you shall remove5265 from your place,4725 and go1980 after310 it.
|
|
4 只是你們和約櫃相離要量二千肘，不可與約櫃相近，使你們知道所必要［must］走的路，因為這條路你們向來沒有走過。」
|
4 Yet389 there shall be a space7350 between996 you and it, about two thousand505 cubits520 by measure:4060 come7126 not near7126 to it, that you may know3045 the way1870 by which834 you must go:3212 for you have not passed5674 this way1870 heretofore.8543
|
|
5 約書亞對［said unto］百姓說：「你們要自潔；因為明天耶和華必在你們中間行奇事。」
|
5 And Joshua3091 said559 to the people,5971 Sanctify6942 yourselves: for tomorrow4279 the LORD3068 will do6213 wonders6381 among7130 you.
|
|
6 約書亞又告訴［spake unto］祭司說：「你們抬起約櫃，在百姓前頭過去。」於是他們抬起約櫃，在百姓前頭走。
|
6 And Joshua3091 spoke559 to the priests,3548 saying,559 Take5375 up the ark727 of the covenant,1285 and pass5674 over5674 before6440 the people.5971 And they took5375 up the ark727 of the covenant,1285 and went3212 before6440 the people.5971
|
|
7 耶和華對約書亞說：「從今日起，我必使你在以色列眾人眼前尊大，使他們知道我怎樣與摩西同在，也必照樣與你同在。
|
7 And the LORD3068 said559 to Joshua,3091 This2088 day3117 will I begin2490 to magnify1431 you in the sight5869 of all3605 Israel,3478 that they may know3045 that, as I was with Moses,4872 so I will be with you.
|
|
8 你要吩咐抬約櫃的祭司說：『你們到了約旦河的水邊上，就要在約旦河水裏站住。』」
|
8 And you shall command6680 the priests3548 that bear5375 the ark727 of the covenant,1285 saying,559 When you are come935 to the brink7097 of the water4325 of Jordan,3383 you shall stand5975 still in Jordan.3383
|
|
9 約書亞對以色列人說：「你們近前來，聽耶和華─你們神的話。」
|
9 And Joshua3091 said559 to the children1121 of Israel,3478 Come5066 here,5066 and hear8085 the words1697 of the LORD3068 your God.430
|
|
10 約書亞說：「因此你們就知道在你們中間有永生神；並且他必在你們面前趕出迦南人、赫人、希未人、比利洗人、革迦撒人、亞摩利人、耶布斯人。
|
10 And Joshua3091 said,559 Hereby2063 you shall know3045 that the living2416 God410 is among7130 you, and that he will without fail drive3423 out from before6440 you the Canaanites,3669 and the Hittites,2850 and the Hivites,2340 and the Perizzites,6522 and the Girgashites,1622 and the Amorites,567 and the Jebusites.2983
|
|
11 看哪，全地上［all the earth］主的約櫃必在你們前頭過去，到約旦河裏。
|
11 Behold,2009 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD113 of all3605 the earth776 passes5674 over5674 before6440 you into Jordan.3383
|
|
12 你們現在要從以色列支派中揀選十二個人，每支派一人，
|
12 Now6258 therefore take3947 you twelve8147 6240 men376 out of the tribes7626 of Israel,3478 out of every tribe7626 a man.376
|
|
13 等到抬全地之主［the Lord of all the earth］─耶和華約櫃的祭司把腳一［as soon as］站在約旦河水裏，約旦河的水，就是從上往下流的水，必然斷絕，立起成壘。」
|
13 And it shall come1961 to pass, as soon as the soles3709 of the feet7272 of the priests3548 that bear5375 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 the LORD113 of all3605 the earth,776 shall rest5117 in the waters4325 of Jordan,3383 that the waters4325 of Jordan3383 shall be cut3772 off from the waters4325 that come3381 down3381 from above;4605 and they shall stand5975 on an heap.5067
|
|
14 百姓離開帳棚要過約旦河的時候，抬約櫃的祭司乃在百姓的前頭。
|
14 And it came1961 to pass,5674 when the people5971 removed5265 from their tents,168 to pass5674 over5674 Jordan,3383 and the priests3548 bearing5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 before6440 the people;5971
|
|
15 他們到了約旦河，腳一入水（原來約旦河水在收割的日子漲過兩岸），
|
15 And as they that bore5375 the ark727 were come935 to Jordan,3383 and the feet7272 of the priests3548 that bore5375 the ark727 were dipped2881 in the brim7097 of the water,4325 (for Jordan3383 overflows4390 all3605 his banks1415 all3605 the time3117 of harvest,7105)
|
|
16 那從上往下流的水便在極遠之地、撒拉但旁的亞當城那裏停住，立起成壘；那往平原的海［sea of the plain］，就是鹽海，下流的水全然斷絕。於是百姓在耶利哥的對面過去了。
|
16 That the waters4325 which came3381 down3381 from above4605 stood5975 and rose6965 up on an heap5067 very3966 far7368 from the city5892 Adam,121 that is beside6654 Zaretan:6891 and those that came3381 down3381 toward5921 the sea3220 of the plain,6160 even the salt4417 sea,3220 failed,8552 and were cut3772 off: and the people5971 passed5674 over5674 right against5048 Jericho.3405
|
|
17 抬耶和華約櫃的祭司在約旦河中的乾地上站定，以色列眾人都從乾地上過去，直到國民盡都過了約旦河。
|
17 And the priests3548 that bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 stood5975 firm3559 on dry2724 ground in the middle8432 of Jordan,3383 and all3605 the Israelites3478 passed5674 over5674 on dry2724 ground, until5704 all3605 the people1471 were passed5674 clean8552 over5674 Jordan.3383
