1ヨシュアは朝早く起き、彼とイスラエルのすべての人々はシティムを出発してヨルダン川に来た。彼らは川を渡る前にそこに宿営した。
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.
2三日後、役人たちが宿営の中を行き巡り、
2After which, the heralds went through the midst of the camp,
3民に命じた。「あなたがたの神、主の契約の箱をレビ人の祭司たちが担ぐのを見たなら、自分の場所を離れ、その後に従いなさい。
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:
4ただし、箱との間には約二千キュビト の間隔を保ち、近づいてはならない。そうすれば、進むべき道が分かる。あなたがたはこれまで、この道を通ったことがないからである。」
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.
5ヨシュアは民に言った。「身を聖別しなさい。明日、主があなたがたのただ中で驚くべきことを行われる。」
5And Josue said to the people: Be ye sanctified: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
6ヨシュアは祭司たちに言った。「契約の箱を担ぎ、民の先頭に立って渡りなさい。」彼らは契約の箱を担ぎ、民の先頭に立って進んだ。
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.
7主はヨシュアに言われた。「今日から、わたしは全イスラエルの目の前であなたを大いなる者とする。わたしがモーセとともにいたように、あなたとともにいることを彼らが知るためである。
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.
8契約の箱を担ぐ祭司たちには、こう命じなさい。『ヨルダン川の水際まで来たら、川の中に立ち止まれ。』」
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.
9ヨシュアはイスラエルの人々に言った。「ここに来て、あなたがたの神、主の言葉を聞きなさい。」
9And Josue said to the children of Israel: Come hither and hear the word of the Lord your God.
10ヨシュアは言った。「生ける神があなたがたのただ中におられ、カナン人、ヘト人、ヒビ人、ペリジ人、ギルガシ人、アモリ人、エブス人を、あなたがたの前から必ず追い払われることを、これによって知る。
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.
11見よ、全地の主 の契約の箱が、あなたがたの先頭に立ってヨルダン川へ入って行く。
11Behold the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth shall go before you into the Jordan.
12それゆえ今、イスラエルの部族から、各部族につき一人ずつ、十二人の男たちを取りなさい。
12Prepare ye twelve men of the tribes of Israel, one of every tribe.
13全地の主である主 の箱を担ぐ祭司たちの足の裏がヨルダン川の水に触れると、川上から流れ下る水はせき止められ、一つの水の塊となって立つ。」
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.
14民がヨルダン川を渡ろうと天幕をたたんで出発したとき、契約の箱を担ぐ祭司たちは民の先頭に立った。
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.
15箱を担ぐ者たちがヨルダン川に達し、箱を担ぐ祭司たちの足が水際に浸ったとき、ヨルダン川は収穫の全期間を通してその両岸に溢れていたが、
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,)
16川上から流れ下る水は止まり、ツァレタンのそばの町アダムから、はるか遠くに一つの水の塊となって立った。アラバの海、すなわち塩の海へ流れ下る水は完全に断たれ、民はエリコの向かいを渡った。
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.
17主の契約の箱を担ぐ祭司たちがヨルダン川の真ん中の乾いた地面にしっかりと立っている間に、全イスラエルは乾いた地面を渡り、ついに全国民がヨルダン川を完全に渡り終えた。
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.
