Joshua 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 And so, Joshua arose in the night, and he moved the camp. And they departed from Shittim, and they went to the Jordan: he, and all the sons of Israel, and they remained there for three days.	1 και ωρθρισεν ιησους το πρωι και απηραν εκ σαττιν και ηλθοσαν εως του ιορδανου και κατελυσαν εκει προ του διαβηναι
2 After these things unfolded, announcers passed through the midst of the camp,	2 και εγενετο μετα τρεις ημερας διηλθον οι γραμματεις δια της παρεμβολης
3 and they began to proclaim: “When you will see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests of the stock of Levi carrying it, you also shall rise up and follow those who are going before you.	3 και ενετειλαντο τω λαω λεγοντες οταν ιδητε την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου του θεου ημων και τους ιερεις ημων και τους λευιτας αιροντας αυτην απαρειτε απο των τοπων υμων και πορευεσθε οπισω αυτης
4 And let there be, between you and the ark, the space of two thousand cubits, so that you may be able to see it from far away, and to know along which way you should advance. For you have not walked this way before. And be careful that you do not approach the ark.”	4 αλλα μακραν εστω ανα μεσον υμων και εκεινης οσον δισχιλιους πηχεις στησεσθε μη προσεγγισητε αυτη ιν' επιστησθε την οδον ην πορευεσθε αυτην ου γαρ πεπορευσθε την οδον απ' εχθες και τριτης ημερας
5 And Joshua said to the people: “Be sanctified. For tomorrow the Lord will accomplish miracles among you.”	5 και ειπεν ιησους τω λαω αγνισασθε εις αυριον οτι αυριον ποιησει εν υμιν κυριος θαυμαστα
6 And he said to the priests: “Take up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people.” And they fulfilled the orders, and they took it and walked before them.	6 και ειπεν ιησους τοις ιερευσιν αρατε την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου και προπορευεσθε του λαου και ηραν οι ιερεις την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου και επορευοντο εμπροσθεν του λαου
7 And the Lord said to Joshua: “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so that they may know that, just as I was with Moses, so also am I with you.	7 και ειπεν κυριος προς ιησουν εν τη ημερα ταυτη αρχομαι υψωσαι σε κατενωπιον παντων υιων ισραηλ ινα γνωσιν καθοτι ημην μετα μωυση ουτως εσομαι και μετα σου
8 Now instruct the priests, who are carrying the ark of the covenant, and say to them, ‘When you will have entered into a part of the water of the Jordan, stand still in it.’ ”	8 και νυν εντειλαι τοις ιερευσιν τοις αιρουσιν την κιβωτον της διαθηκης λεγων ως αν εισελθητε επι μερους του υδατος του ιορδανου και εν τω ιορδανη στησεσθε
9 And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, “Approach to here, and listen to the word of the Lord your God.”	9 και ειπεν ιησους τοις υιοις ισραηλ προσαγαγετε ωδε και ακουσατε το ρημα κυριου του θεου ημων
10 And again, he said: “By this shall you know that the Lord, the living God, is in your midst, and that he shall scatter in your sight, the Canaanite and the Hittite, the Hivite and the Perizzite, likewise the Girgashite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite.	10 εν τουτω γνωσεσθε οτι θεος ζων εν υμιν και ολεθρευων ολεθρευσει απο προσωπου ημων τον χαναναιον και τον χετταιον και τον φερεζαιον και τον ευαιον και τον αμορραιον και τον γεργεσαιον και τον ιεβουσαιον
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth shall go before you through the Jordan.	11 ιδου η κιβωτος διαθηκης κυριου πασης της γης διαβαινει τον ιορδανην
12 Prepare twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.	12 προχειρισασθε υμιν δωδεκα ανδρας απο των υιων ισραηλ ενα αφ' εκαστης φυλης
13 And when the priests who are carrying the ark of the Lord, the God of the entire earth, will have placed the steps of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are lower will run down and pass away, and those that are approaching above will stand together in a mass.”	13 και εσται ως αν καταπαυσωσιν οι ποδες των ιερεων των αιροντων την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου πασης της γης εν τω υδατι του ιορδανου το υδωρ του ιορδανου εκλειψει το δε υδωρ το καταβαινον στησεται
14 And the people departed from their tents, so that they might cross the Jordan. And the priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant were advancing before them.	14 και απηρεν ο λαος εκ των σκηνωματων αυτων διαβηναι τον ιορδανην οι δε ιερεις ηροσαν την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου προτεροι του λαου
15 And as soon as they entered into the Jordan, and their feet were dipped in a portion of the water, (now the Jordan, since it was the time of the harvest, had filled the banks of its channel,)	15 ως δε εισεπορευοντο οι ιερεις οι αιροντες την κιβωτον της διαθηκης επι τον ιορδανην και οι ποδες των ιερεων των αιροντων την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου εβαφησαν εις μερος του υδατος του ιορδανου ο δε ιορδανης επληρου καθ' ολην την κρηπιδα αυτου ωσει ημεραι θερισμου πυρων
16 the descending waters stood still in one place, and, swelling up like a mountain, they were seen from far away, from the city that is called Adam, even as far as the place of Zarethan. But those that were lower ran down into the Sea of the Wilderness, (which is now called the Dead Sea,) until they entirely passed away.	16 και εστη τα υδατα τα καταβαινοντα ανωθεν εστη πηγμα εν αφεστηκος μακραν σφοδρα σφοδρως εως μερους καριαθιαριμ το δε καταβαινον κατεβη εις την θαλασσαν αραβα θαλασσαν αλος εως εις το τελος εξελιπεν και ο λαος ειστηκει απεναντι ιεριχω
17 Then the people advanced opposite Jericho. And the priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord were standing, fully-dressed, upon dry soil in the midst of the Jordan, and all the people passed over, through the channel that was dried up.	17 και εστησαν οι ιερεις οι αιροντες την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου επι ξηρας εν μεσω του ιορδανου και παντες οι υιοι ισραηλ διεβαινον δια ξηρας εως συνετελεσεν πας ο λαος διαβαινων τον ιορδανην
