Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Early the next morning Joshua got up and left Shittim with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over.
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。
2After three days the officers went through the camp
2過了三天，官長走遍營中，
3and commanded the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God being carried by the Levitical priests, you are to set out from your positions and follow it.
3吩咐百姓說：「你們看見耶和華－你們上帝的約櫃，又見祭司 利未 人抬着，就要離開所住的地方，跟着約櫃去。
4But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between yourselves and the ark. Do not go near it, so that you can see the way to go, since you have never traveled this way before.”
4只是你們和約櫃相離要量二千肘，不可與約櫃相近，使你們知道所當走的路，因為這條路你們向來沒有走過。」
5Then Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”
5約書亞 吩咐百姓說：「你們要自潔，因為明天耶和華必在你們中間行奇事。」
6And he said to the priests, “Take the ark of the covenant and go on ahead of the people.” So they carried the ark of the covenant and went ahead of them.
6約書亞 又吩咐祭司說：「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。
7Now the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you just as I was with Moses.
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。
8Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the waters, stand in the Jordan.’”
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。』」
9So Joshua told the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God.”
9約書亞 對 以色列 人說：「你們近前來，聽耶和華－你們上帝的話。」
10He continued, “This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that He will surely drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.
10約書亞 說：「看哪，普天下主的約櫃必在你們前頭過去，到 約旦河 裏，因此你們就知道在你們中間有永生上帝；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。
11Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go ahead of you into the Jordan.
no verse 11 in this text
12Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.
12你們現在要從 以色列 支派中揀選十二個人，每支派一人，
13When the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the LORD—the Lord of all the earth—touch down in the waters of the Jordan, its flowing waters will be cut off and will stand up in a heap.”
13等到抬普天下主耶和華 約 櫃的祭司把腳站在 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。」
14So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of them.
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。
15Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge,
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），
16the flowing water stood still. It backed up as far upstream as Adam, a city in the area of Zarethan, while the water flowing toward the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea ) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
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 亞拉巴 的海，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。
17The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel crossed over the dry ground, until the entire nation had crossed the Jordan.
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 。
