< Joshua 8 >

1 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. See, I have delivered into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Josue, “Saanka nga agbuteng; saanka a maupay. Ikuyogmo dagiti amin a tattao a mannakigubat. Sumang-atkayo idiay Ai. Kitaem, intedkon iti imam ti ari ti Ai, dagiti tattaona, ti siudadna ken ti dagana.
2 And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set up an ambush behind the city.”
Aramidemto iti Ai ken iti ari daytoy ti kas iti inaramidmo iti Jerico ken iti ari daytoy, malaksid iti panangalayonto iti sinamsam ken kadagiti taraken nga agpaay kadakayo. Agsaganakayo iti panangsaneb iti likudan ti siudad.”
3 So Joshua and the whole army set out to attack Ai. Joshua chose 30,000 mighty men of valor and sent them out at night
Timmakder ngarud ni Josue ket inkuyogna dagiti amin a lallaki a mannakigubat a sumang-at idiay Ai. Ket nangpili ni Josue iti tallo pulo a ribu a lallaki- napigsa, natutured a lallaki- ket imbaonna ida iti rabii.
4 with these orders: “Pay attention. You are to lie in ambush behind the city, not too far from it. All of you must be ready.
Imbilinna kadakuada, “Kitaenyo, agsanebkayonto a maibusor iti siudad, iti likudan daytoy. Saankayo nga umadayo unay iti siudad, ngem agsaganakayo amin.
5 Then I and all the troops with me will advance on the city. When they come out against us as they did the first time, we will flee from them.
Umasidegakto ken dagiti amin a lallaki a kakuyogko iti siudad. Ket inton rummuarda a mangraut kadakami, itarayanminto ida a kas idi damo.
6 They will pursue us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’ So as we flee from them,
Surotendakaminto agingga a maiyadayomi ida manipud iti siudad. Kunaendanto, 'Itartarayandatayo a kas iti inaramidda idi damo.' Isu nga itarayanminto ida.
7 you are to rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
Ket rummuarkayonto iti paglemlemmenganyo, ket sakupenyonto ti siudad. Itedto daytoy ni Yahweh a Diosyo iti imayo.
8 And when you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do as the LORD has commanded! See, I have given you orders.”
Inton masakupyo ti siudad, puoranyonto daytoy. Aramidenyo daytoy inton agtulnogkayo iti bilin a naited iti sao ni Yahweh. Kitenyo, binilinkayo.”
9 So Joshua sent them out, and they went to the place of ambush and lay in wait between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai. But Joshua spent that night among the people.
Imbaon ida ni Josue, ket napanda iti pagsaneban, ket naglemmengda iti nagbaetan ti Betel ken Ai iti laud ti Ai. Ngem nakiturog ni Josue kadagiti tattao iti dayta a rabii.
10 Joshua got up early the next morning and mobilized his men, and he and the elders of Israel marched before them up to Ai.
Nasapa a bimmangon ni Josue iti bigat ket insaganana dagiti soldadona, rinaut ni Josue ken dagiti panglakayen iti Israel dagiti tattao ti Ai.
11 Then all the troops who were with him marched up and approached the city. They arrived in front of Ai and camped to the north of it, with the valley between them and the city.
Simmang-at dagiti amin a lallaki a mannakigubat a kaduana ket immasidegda iti siudad. Dimtengda iti asideg ti siudad ket nagkampoda iti amianan a paset ti Ai. Ita, adda iti tanap a nagbaetanda iti Ai.
12 Now Joshua had taken about five thousand men and set up an ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of the city.
Nangala isuna iti agarup lima ribu a lallaki ket insaadna ida iti pagsaneban iti laud a paset ti siudad iti nagbaetan ti Betel ken Ai.
13 So the forces were stationed with the main camp to the north of the city and the rear guard to the west of the city. And that night Joshua went into the valley.
Inyurnosda dagiti amin a soldado, adda dagiti kangrunaan nga armada iti amianan a paset ti siudad, ken adda dagiti akinlikud a guardia iti laud a paset ti siudad. Immian ni Josue idiay tanap iti dayta a rabii.
14 When the king of Ai saw the Israelites, he hurried out early in the morning with the men of the city to engage them in battle at an appointed place overlooking the Arabah. But he did not know that an ambush had been set up against him behind the city.
Ket idi nakita ti ari ti Ai daytoy, nasapa a bimmangon isuna ken ti armadana ket nagdardarasda a rimmuar a mangraut iti Israel iti lugar a nakasango iti tanap ti Karayan Jordan. Saanna nga ammo nga adda maysa a panangsaneb nga agur-uray a rumaut manipud iti likudan ti siudad.
15 Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten back before them, and they fled toward the wilderness.
Impalubos ni Josue ken dagiti amin nga Israel a maabakda iti sangoananda, ken nagtarayda nga agturong iti let-ang.
16 Then all the men of Ai were summoned to pursue them, and they followed Joshua and were drawn away from the city.
Sangsangkamaysa a naayaban dagiti amin a tattao nga adda iti siudad tapno kamatenda ida, ken kinamatda ni Josue ket naiyadayoda manipud iti siudad.
17 Not a man was left in Ai or Bethel who did not go out after Israel, leaving the city wide open while they pursued Israel.
Awan ti nabati a lalaki idiay Ai ken Betel a saan a napan kimmamat iti Israel. Pinanawanda ti siudad ket imbatida daytoy a silulukat bayat iti panangkamatda iti Israel.
18 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Hold out your battle lance toward Ai, for into your hand I will deliver the city.” So Joshua held out his battle lance toward Ai,
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Josue, “Ipaturongmo iti Ai ti iggemmo a gayang, ta itedkon ti Ai iti imam.” Inturong ni Josue ti iggemna a gayang iti siudad.
19 and as soon as he did so, the men in ambush rose quickly from their position. They rushed forward, entered the city, captured it, and immediately set it on fire.
Dagus a rimmuar iti lugarda dagiti soldado nga aglemlemmeng iti pagsaneban apaman nga intayagna ti imana. Nagtarayda ken simrekda iti siudad ket sinakupda daytoy. Dagus a pinuoranda ti siudad.
20 When the men of Ai turned and looked back, the smoke of the city was rising into the sky. They could not escape in any direction, and the troops who had fled to the wilderness now became the pursuers.
Timmaliaw ken kimmita iti likud dagiti lallaki ti Ai. Nakitada ti asuk manipud iti siudad nga agpangpangato iti tangatang, ket saandan a makalibas iti daytoy wenno iti dayta a dalan. Ta nagsublin dagiti Israelita a nagtaray idiay let-ang tapno sangoenda dagiti mangkamkamat kadakuada.
21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that smoke was rising from it, they turned around and struck down the men of Ai.
Idi nakita ni Josue ken dagiti amin nga Israel a nasakup ti panangsaneb ti siudad nga adda asuk nga agpangpangato, nagsublida ket pinatayda dagiti lallaki ti Ai.
22 Meanwhile, those in the ambush came out of the city against them, and the men of Ai were trapped between the Israelite forces on both sides. So Israel struck them down until no survivor or fugitive remained.
Ken rimmuar dagiti dadduma a soldado ti Israel, dagiti simrek iti siudad, tapno rautenda ida. Isu a natiliw dagiti lallaki ti Ai iti nagbaetan dagiti armada ti Israel. Rinaut ti Israel dagiti lallaki ti Ai; awan ti nakalasat wenno nakalibas kadakuada.
23 But they took the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.
Innalada ti ari ti Ai, a natiliwda a sibibiag, ket impanda isuna kenni Josue.
24 When Israel had finished killing all the men of Ai who had pursued them into the field and wilderness, and when every last one of them had fallen by the sword, all the Israelites returned to Ai and put it to the sword as well.
Ket idi nalpasen a pinapatay ti Israel dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Ai iti tay-ak iti asideg ti let-ang a nangkamatanda kadakuada, ket idi napapatayda amin agingga iti kaudian babaen iti tadem ti kampilan, nagsubli ti amin nga Israel idiay Ai. Rinautda daytoy babaen iti tadem ti kampilan.
25 A total of twelve thousand men and women fell that day—all the people of Ai.
Amin a natay iti dayta nga aldaw, lallaki ken babbai, ket sangapulo ket dua a ribu, amin a tattao ti Ai.
26 Joshua did not draw back the hand that held his battle lance until he had devoted to destruction all who lived in Ai.
Saan nga imbaba ni Josue ti imana nga inngatona bayat nga ig-iggamanna ti gayangna, agingga a nadadaelna a naan-anay dagiti amin a tattao ti Ai.
27 Israel took for themselves only the cattle and plunder of that city, as the LORD had commanded Joshua.
Innala laeng ti Israel nga agpaay kadakuada dagiti taraken ken ti sinamsam manipud iti siudad, a kas iti imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Josue.
28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolation to this day.
Pinuoran ni Josue ti Ai ken pinagbalinna daytoy a gabsuon dagiti nadadael iti agnanayon. Daytoy ket langalang a lugar agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw.
29 He hung the king of Ai on a tree until evening, and at sunset Joshua commanded that they take down the body from the tree and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And over it they raised a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.
Imbitinna iti kayo ti ari ti Ai agingga iti rabii. Idi lumneken ti init, inted ni Josue ti bilin ket imbabada ti bagi ti ari manipud iti kayo ket imbellengda iti sangoanan dagiti ruangan ti siudad. Ginaburanda sadiay iti dakkel a gabsuon iti batbato iti rabaw daytoy. Nagtalinaed sadiay dayta a gabsuon agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw.
30 At that time Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal to the LORD, the God of Israel,
Ket nangbangon ni Josue iti altar nga agpaay kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, idiay Bantay Ebal,
31 just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the Israelites. He built it according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: “an altar of uncut stones on which no iron tool has been used.” And on it they offered burnt offerings to the LORD, and they sacrificed peace offerings.
a kas imbilin ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao ti Israel, a kas naisurat iti libro ti linteg ni Moises: “Maysa nga altar manipud kadagiti bato a saan pay a natapyasan, nga awan iti nangaramat iti landok nga alikamen.” Ken nangidaton isuna kadagiti daton a maipuor nga agpaay kenni Yahweh iti rabaw daytoy, ken nangisagutda kadagiti daton a pakikappia.
32 And there in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua inscribed on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written.
Ket iti imatang dagiti tattao ti Israel, insuratna kadagiti bato ti kopia ti linteg ni Moises.
33 All Israel, foreigners and citizens alike, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the LORD facing the Levitical priests who carried it. Half of the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded earlier, to bless the people of Israel.
Nagtakder ti amin nga Israel, dagiti panglakayenda, dagiti opisial ken dagiti ukomda iti agsinnumbangir a paset ti lakasa iti sangoanan dagiti padi ken Levita a mangaw-awit iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh- kasta met dagiti ganggannaet a kas naiyanak nga umili- nagtakder ti kagudua a bilang dagiti tattao iti sangoanan ti Bantay Gerizim ken nagtakder ti dadduma iti sangoanan ti Bantay Ebal. Binendisionanda dagiti tattao ti Israel, a kas imbilin kadakuada ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh idi un-unana.
34 Afterward, Joshua read aloud all the words of the law—the blessings and the curses—according to all that is written in the Book of the Law.
Kalpasanna, binasa ni Josue dagiti amin a sasao ti linteg, dagiti bendision ken dagiti lunod, a kas naisurat dagitoy iti libro ti linteg.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua failed to read before the whole assembly of Israel, including the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who lived among them.
Awan ti uray maysa a sao manipud iti imbilin ni Moises a saan a binasa ni Josue iti sangoanan ti gimong ti Israel, a pakairamanan dagiti babbai, dagiti ubbing ken dagiti ganggannaet a makipagnanaed kadakuada.
