Yosiua 8
1 Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Dia dadi gagui dunu huluane oule asili, A:iai diasuga heda: ma. Mae da: i dioma amola mae beda: ma. Na da fidimuba: le, di da A: iai hina bagade hasalimu. Di da ea dunu fi, ea moilai bai bagade amola ea soge huluane lamu.
Then the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear, and you should not dread. Take with you the entire multitude of fighters, and rising up, ascend to the town of Ai. Behold, I have delivered into your hand its king and people, and the city and the land.
2 Dilia da Yeligou amola Yeligou hina bagadema hamoi amo defele A: iai amola ea hina bagadema defele hamoma. Be wali, liligi amola ohe fi amo ganodini diala amo dilisu lamu. Be ilia fofogadigima: ne, ilia fa: no bega: doagala: musa: masa.
And you shall do to the city of Ai, and to its king, just as you did to Jericho, and to its king. Yet truly, the spoils, and all the living things, you shall plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it.”
3 Amaiba: le, Yosiua amola ea dadi gagui dunu da A: iai diasu doagala: musa: momogi. E da ea dadi gagui dunu amo 30,000 ilegele, gasi ganodini gadili asunasi.
And Joshua rose up, and the entire army of warriors with him, so that they might ascend against Ai. And he sent thirty thousand elect strong men in the night.
4 E da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia A: iai diasu na: iyado bega: fonobahadi gadenenewane wamoaligima. Ilima doagala: musa: momagema.
And he instructed them, saying: “Set an ambush behind the city. You shall withdraw not far away, and let everyone be prepared.
5 Na amola na dunu da moilai bai bagadega doagala: musa: misunu. A: iai dunu da ninima gegemusa: masea, ninia da musa: hamoi defele ogogole sinidigili iliba: le hobeamu.
But I and the remainder of the multitude that is with me will approach from the opposite side of the city. And when they come out against us, we will flee and turn our backs, just as we did before,
6 Ilia da ninima fa: no bobogemu amola ninia da ili moilai bai bagade fisima: ne bisili hobeamu. Ninia da musa: hamoi defele ilima hobealala, amo ilia da dawa: mu.
until, pursuing us, they are drawn away from the city. For they will think that we are fleeing as before.
7 Amasea, dilia da dilia wamoaligi sogebi fisili, moilai bai bagadega doagala: le lamu. Hina Gode da amo dilima imunu.
Then, while we are fleeing and they are pursuing, you shall rise up from the ambush, and you shall lay waste to the city. And the Lord your God will deliver it into your hands.
8 Dilia moilai bai bagade huluane lai dagosea, amo Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, laluga gobesima. Na da dilima sia: i dagoi.”
And when you have seized it, set it on fire. And you shall do all that I have ordered.”
9 Amalalu, Yosiua da amo dunu gadili asunasili, ilia da ilia wamoaligi sogebiga asili, ouesalu. Amo sogebi da A: iai amoga eso dabe la: idi A: iai amola Bedele amoga dogoa dialu. Yosiua da amo gasia abula diasu gilisisuga esalu.
And he sent them away, and they traveled to the place of the ambush, and they settled between Bethel and Ai, toward the western region of the city of Ai. But Joshua remained for that night in the midst of the people.
10 Hahabedafa, Yosiua da wa: legadole, ea dadi gagui dunu gilisi. Amalalu, e amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu da dadi gagui dunu bisili, A:iai moilai bai bagadega oule asi.
And rising at first light, he reviewed his troops, and he went up, with the elders at the front of the army, surrounded by an auxiliary of fighters.
11 Dadi gagui dunu da A: iai moilai bai bagade logo holei bagade amoga doaga: musa: asili, ilia da gano la: idi amoga ha wa: i fisu gagui. Ilia da agologa esalu amola A: iai da agolo eno amoga dialu. Dogoa da fago soge ba: i.
And when they had arrived, and had ascended from the opposite side of the city, they stood toward the northern region of the city. And there was a valley in the middle, between them and the city.
12 Yosiua da5000 dunu agoane lale, ilia da A: iai ea eso dabe la: idi (A: iai amola Bedele dogoa) amoga wamoaligi.
Now he had chosen five thousand men, and he had positioned them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, at the western part of the same city.
13 Dadi gagui da A: iai moilai bai bagadega doagala: musa: esalu. Bisili ha wa: i fisu esalebe dunu da gano la: idi dialu amola eno dunu da eso dabe la: ididili wamoaligili esalu. Yosiua da amo gasia umiga esalu.
Yet truly, all the remainder of the army was arranged in a line to the north, so that the very end of that multitude reached to the western region of the city. Then Joshua went out that night, and he stood in the middle of the valley.
14 A: iai hina bagade dunu da Yosiua ea dunu ba: beba: le, hedolowane hamoi. E amola ea dunu huluane da Yodane umiga gadili asili, ilia da musa: sogebi Isala: ili dunuma gegei amoga bu gegemusa: dawa: i galu. Be Isala: ili dunu da ea baligiga doagala: musa: esalu, amo e da hame dawa: i galu.
And when the king of Ai had seen this, he hurried in the morning, and he went out with the entire army of the city. And he arranged them in a line opposite the desert, not knowing that an ambush lay hidden behind his back.
15 Yosiua amola ea dunu da ogogole A: iai dunuma hobeamusa: , hafoga: i sogega hehenai.
Yet truly, Joshua, and all of Israel, withdrew from the place, pretending to be afraid, and fleeing along the way of the wilderness.
16 A: iai hina bagade da ea dunu huludafa Yosiua ea dunu sefasimusa: masa: ne sia: i. Ilia da hehenane, ilia moilai bai bagade da baligidu beba: loba da sedagawane ba: i.
And they pursued them, shouting together and encouraging one another. And when they had withdrawn from the city,
17 A: iai dunu huluanedafa da Isala: ili dunu sefasi. A: iai moilai bai bagade logo da doasi dagoi amola gaga: su dunu hamedafa ba: i.
and indeed not one remained in the city of Ai and of Bethel who did not pursue after Israel, (leaving the towns open after they had rushed out, )
18 Amalalu, Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Dia goge agei amo A: iai moilai bai bagadega sogiagama. Na da amo moilai bai bagade dima imunu.” Yosiua da amo sia: i defele hamoi.
the Lord said to Joshua: “Lift up the shield that is in your hand, toward the city of Ai. For I will deliver it to you.”
19 E da ea lobo ligia gadole, Isala: ili dunu da ilia wamoaligisu hedolo fisili, moilai bai bagadega hehenane, lai dagoi. Ilia da hedolowane A: iai moilai bai bagade ulagimusa: lalu didi.
And when he had lifted up the shield toward the city, the ambush, which lay hidden, rose up quickly. And advancing to the city, they seized it, and set it on fire.
20 A: iai dunu da beba: loba, lalu mobi heda: lebe muagado doaga: i amo ba: i. Isala: ili dunu da hafoga: i sogega hehenai amo da sinidigili ilima doagala: musa: mabeba: le, ilia da hobeamu logo hame ba: i.
Now the men of the city who were pursuing Joshua, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rising up even to heaven, were no longer able to flee in one direction or another, especially since those who had pretended to flee, and who were heading toward the wilderness, had turned back very strongly against those who were pursuing them.
21 Yosiua amola ea dunu da eno dunu da A: iai moilai bai bagade lale, laluga gobesi amo ba: beba: le, sinidigili, A:iai dunu fane legemusa: asi.
And Joshua, and all of Israel, seeing that the city had been captured, and that the smoke of the city was ascending, returned and struck down the men of Ai.
22 Isala: ili dunu A: iai moilai bai bagade ganodini esalu da amo gegesu fidimusa: misi. Amalalu, A:iai dunu da Isala: ili dunu amoma sisiga: i dagoi ba: i. A: iai dunu afae da hame hobea: i, huluane bogogia: i dagoi ba: i.
Then too, those who had seized and set the city on fire, departing from the city toward their own men, began to strike the enemies in the middle. Therefore, since the adversaries were cut off from both sides, none of so great a multitude was saved.
23 Be A: iai hina bagade da hame bogoi. Isala: ili dunu da amo hina bagade lale, afugili, Yosiuama hiouginana asi.
Also, they apprehended the king of the city of Ai, alive, and they brought him before Joshua.
24 Isala: ili dunu da A: iai dunu huluane amo wadela: i soge amo ganodini medole legei dagoi. Amalalu, ilia da sinidigili, A:iai moilai bai bagade ganodini esalebe dunu, uda amola mano huluane medole legei.
And so, after all were slain who had pursued Israel fleeing toward the wilderness, and after they fell by the sword in the same place, the sons of Israel returned and struck the city.
Now there were twelve thousand persons who had fallen on the same day, from man even to woman, the entire city of Ai.
26 Yosiua da ea goge agei amo A: iai moilai bai bagadega sogiagai mae fisili, dunu huluanedafa da medole legei dagoiba: le fawane yolesi. A: iai ganodini esalebe huluane da bogogia: i. Idi da dunu 12,000 agoane amola uda.
Truly Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, keeping hold of the shield until all the inhabitants of Ai were put to death.
27 Hina Gode da Yosiuama sia: i defele, Isala: ili dunu ilisu da ohe fi amola liligi amo moilai bai bagade ganodini galu gagulaligimusa: lai.
Then the sons of Israel divided among themselves the cattle and the plunder of the city, just as the Lord had instructed Joshua.
28 Yosiua da A: iai moilai bai bagade laluga gobesi amola wadela: lesi dagoi. Wali eso, amo moilai bai bagade da amaiwane diala.
And he set fire to the city, and he caused it to be a perpetual tomb.
29 E da A: iai hina bagade ifaga hegoa: nesili, ea da: i hodo daeya doaga: ma: ne yolesi. Eso dabe amoga, e da amo hina bagade ea da: i hodo fadegama: ne sia: i. Amo lale, ilia da moilai bai bagade holeiga gisalugala: i. Ilia da ea da: i hodo amo igi ligisisu bagadega dedeboi. Amo igi ligisisu da wali eso amogawi diala.
Also, he suspended the king on a gallows, until evening and the setting of the sun. And Joshua instructed, and they took down his dead body from the hanging tree. And they cast it at the very entrance of the city, gathering a great pile of stones upon it, which remains even to the present day.
30 Amasea, Yosiua da Iba: le Goumia, Isala: ili fi ilia Hina Godema oloda hamoi.
Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
31 Amo oloda, e da Mousese, Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu amo ea olelei defele gagui. Mousese hamoma: ne sia: i defele, “oloda igiga hamoi be amo igi da gobihei o goahei amoga hame hedofai ba: mu.” Amo oloda da: iya, ilia da Hina Godema gobele salasu gobesi amola ilia da Hahawane Gilisili Olofole Iasu Godema i.
just as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had instructed to the sons of Israel, and this was written in the book of the law of Moses: truly, an altar of uncut stones, which iron has not touched. And he offered holocausts upon it to the Lord, and he immolated victims as peace-offerings.
32 Amogawi, Isala: ili dunu huluane ba: lalu, Yosiua da sema amo Mousese da dedei, amo igi gasui enoga bu dedei.
And he wrote on the stones, the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had set in order before the sons of Israel.
33 Isala: ili dunu, ilia hina dunu, ouligisu dunu, ilia fofada: su dunu amola ilia gilisisu ganodini esalebe ga fi dunu da Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili la: ididili amola la: ididili lelu. Ilia da gobele salasu dunu amo da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gagui, amo ilia odagia ba: sa lelu. Isala: ili dunu dogoa mogili, la: idi da Gelesime Goumi ilia baligiga ba: i, la: idi da Iba: le Goumi ilia baligiga ba: i. Ilia da Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele fidisu lama: ne, Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da ili amo hou hamoma: ne musa: sia: i dagoi.
Then all the people, and those greater by birth, and the commanders and judges were standing on both sides of the ark, in the sight of the priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, with both the new arrival and the native born, one half part of them beside Mount Gerizim, and one half beside Mount Ebal, just as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had instructed. And first, certainly, he blessed the people of Israel.
34 Amalalu, Yosiua da dunu huluane nabima: ne, Sema huluane idi dagoi. E da hahawane dogolegele fidisu sia: huluane amola gagabusu aligima: ne sia: huluane Sema buga ganodini dedei amo defele idi.
After this, he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing, and all the things that were written in the book of the law.
35 Yosiua da Mousese ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo huluanedafa dunu gilisisu (amo gilisisu ganodini, dunu, uda, mano amola ga fi dunu huluane esalebe ba: i) ilima idi dagoi.
He left nothing untouched out of those things that Moses had ordered, and he repeated everything before the entire multitude of Israel, with the women and the little ones, and the new arrivals who were staying among them.
