Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And Josue rose before daylight, and removed the camp: and they departed from Setim, and came to the Jordan, he, and all the children of Israel, and they abode there for three days.
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 which, the heralds went through the midst of the camp,
2過了三天，官長走遍營中，
3And began to proclaim: When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests of the race of Levi carrying it, rise you up also, and follow them as they go before:
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。
4And let there be between you and the ark the space of two thousand cubits: that you may see it afar off, and know which way you must go: for you have not gone this way before: and take care you come not near the ark.
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。」
5And Josue said to the people: Be ye sanctified: 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 up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people. And they obeyed his commands, and took it up and walked before 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。
7And the Lord said to Josue: This day will I begin to exalt thee before Israel: that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I am with thee also.
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。
8And do thou command the priests that carry the ark of the covenant, and say to them: When you shall have entered into part of the water of the Jordan, stand in it.
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。』」
9And Josue said to the children of Israel: Come hither and hear the word 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。」
10And again he said: By this you shall know that the Lord the living God is in the midst of you, and that he shall destroy before your sight the Chanaanite and the Hethite, the Hevite and the Pherezite, the Gergesite also and the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite.
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 shall go before you into the Jordan.
no verse 11 in this text
12Prepare ye twelve men of the tribes of Israel, one of every 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，
13And when the priests, that carry the ark of the Lord the God of the whole earth, shall set the soles of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are beneath shall run down and go off: and those that come from above, shall stand together upon 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 the people went out of their tents, to pass over the Jordan: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant. went on before 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。
15And as soon as they came into the Jordan, and their feet were dipped in part of the water, (now the Jordan, it being harvest time, had filled the banks of its channel,)
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 waters that came down from above stood in one place, and swelling up like a mountain, were seen afar off from the city that is called Adom, to the place of Sarthan: but those that were beneath, ran down into the sea of the wilderness (which now is called the Dead Sea) until they wholly failed.
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。
17And the people marched over against Jericho: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, stood girded upon the dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all the people passed over through the channel that was dried up.
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 。
