Joshua 8
1 And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Joṣua pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, kí àyà kí ó má ṣe fò ọ́. Kó gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun pẹ̀lú rẹ, kí ẹ gòkè lọ gbógun ti Ai. Nítorí mo ti fi ọba Ai, àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, ìlú u rẹ̀ àti ilẹ̀ ẹ rẹ̀ lé ọ lọ́wọ́.
2 And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.
Ìwọ yóò sì ṣe sí Ai àti ọba rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti ṣe sí Jeriko àti ọba rẹ̀, ohun ìkógun wọn àti ohun ọ̀sìn wọn ni kí ẹ̀yin mú fún ara yín. Rán ènìyàn kí wọ́n ba sí ẹ̀yìn ìlú náà.”
3 And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní Joṣua àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun jáde lọ láti dojúkọ Ai. Ó sì yan ẹgbàá mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àwọn ọkùnrin ogun rẹ̀ ti ó yakin, ó sì rán wọn lọ ní òru.
4 And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.
Pẹ̀lú àwọn àṣẹ wọ̀nyí: “Ẹ fi etí sílẹ̀ dáradára. Ẹ ba sí ẹ̀yìn ìlú náà. Ẹ má ṣe jìnnà sí i púpọ̀. Kí gbogbo yín wà ní ìmúrasílẹ̀.
5 But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:
Èmi àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi yóò súnmọ́ ìlú náà, nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin náà bá jáde sí wa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ṣe ní ìṣáájú, àwa yóò sì sá kúrò níwájú u wọn.
6 Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
Wọn yóò sì lépa wa títí àwa ó fi tàn wọ́n jáde kúrò ní ìlú náà, nítorí tí wọn yóò wí pé, wọ́n ń sálọ kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n tí ṣe ní ìṣáájú. Nítorí náà bí a bá sá kúrò fún wọn,
7 And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.
ẹ̀yin yóò dìde kúrò ní ibùba, ẹ ó sì gba ìlú náà. Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò sì fi lé e yín lọ́wọ́.
8 And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
Nígbà tí ẹ bá ti gba ìlú náà, kí ẹ sì ti iná bọ̀ ọ́. Kí ẹ ṣe ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ. Mo ti fi àṣẹ fún un yín ná.”
9 And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua rán wọn lọ. Wọ́n sì lọ sí ibùba, wọ́n sì sùn ní àárín Beteli àti Ai, ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn Ai. Ṣùgbọ́n Joṣua wá dúró pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn ní òru ọjọ́ náà.
10 And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.
Ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì Joṣua kó àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀, òun àti àwọn olórí Israẹli, wọ́n wọ́de ogun lọ sí Ai.
11 And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
Gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú u rẹ̀ sì gòkè lọ, wọ́n sì súnmọ́ tòsí ìlú náà, wọ́n sì dé iwájú u rẹ̀. Wọ́n sì pàgọ́ ní ìhà àríwá Ai. Àfonífojì sì wà ní agbede-méjì wọn àti ìlú náà.
12 And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:
Joṣua sì ti fi bí ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ọmọ-ogun pamọ́ sí àárín Beteli àti Ai, sí ìwọ̀-oòrùn ìlú náà.
13 But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.
Wọ́n sì yan àwọn ọmọ-ogun sí ipò wọn, gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà ní ibùdó lọ sí àríwá ìlú náà àti àwọn tí ó sá pamọ́ sí ìwọ̀-oòrùn rẹ̀. Ní òru ọjọ́ náà Joṣua lọ sí àfonífojì.
14 And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
Nígbà tí ọba Ai rí èyí, òun àti gbogbo ọkùnrin ìlú náà yára jáde ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù láti pàdé ogun Israẹli ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ aginjù. Ṣùgbọ́n kò mọ̀ pé àwọn kan wà ní ibùba ní ẹ̀yìn ìlú náà.
15 But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
Joṣua àti gbogbo àwọn Israẹli sì ṣe bí ẹni tí a lé padà níwájú wọn, wọ́n sì sá gba ọ̀nà aginjù.
16 But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
A sì pe gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Ai jọ láti lépa wọn, wọ́n sì lépa Joṣua títí wọ́n fi tàn wọ́n jáde nínú ìlú náà.
17 And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
Kò sì ku ọkùnrin kan ní Ai tàbí Beteli tí kò tẹ̀lé Israẹli. Wọ́n sì fi ìlẹ̀kùn ibodè ìlú náà sílẹ̀ ní ṣíṣí, wọ́n sì ń lépa àwọn ará Israẹli.
18 The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Joṣua pé, “Na ọ̀kọ̀ tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ rẹ sí Ai, nítorí tí èmi yóò fi ìlú náà lé ọ ní ọwọ́.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua sì na ọ̀kọ̀ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí Ai.
19 And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.
Bí ó ti ṣe èyí tán, àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó ba sì dìde kánkán kúrò ní ipò wọn, wọ́n sáré síwájú. Wọn wọ ìlú náà, wọ́n gbà á, wọ́n sì yára ti iná bọ̀ ọ́.
20 And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Ai bojú wo ẹ̀yìn, wọ́n rí èéfín ìlú náà ń gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò rí, ààyè láti sá àsálà lọ sí ibìkan kan, nítorí tí àwọn ará Israẹli tí wọ́n tí ń sálọ sí aginjù ti yípadà sí àwọn tí ń lépa wọn.
21 So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.
Nígbà tí Joṣua àti gbogbo àwọn ará Israẹli rí i pé àwọn tí ó bá ti gba ìlú náà, tí èéfín ìlú náà sì ń gòkè, wọ́n yí padà wọ́n sì kọlu àwọn ọkùnrin Ai.
22 And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.
Àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó ba náà sì yípadà sí wọn láti inú ìlú náà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n wà ní agbede-méjì àwọn ará Israẹli ní ìhà méjèèjì. Israẹli sì pa wọ́n, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò sì jẹ́ kí ọ̀kan kí ó yè tàbí kí ó sálọ nínú wọn.
23 And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n mú ọba Ai láààyè, wọ́n sì mu un tọ Joṣua wá.
24 So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
Nígbà tí Israẹli parí pípa gbogbo àwọn ìlú Ai ní pápá àti ní aginjù ní ibi tí wọ́n ti lépa wọn lọ, tí gbogbo wọ́n sì ti ojú idà ṣubú, tí a fi pa gbogbo wọn tan, gbogbo àwọn Israẹli sì padà sí Ai, wọ́n sì fi ojú idà kọlù ú.
25 And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
Ẹgbàá mẹ́fà ọkùnrin àti obìnrin ni ó kú ní ọjọ́ náà—gbogbo wọn jẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn Ai.
26 But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
Nítorí tí Joṣua kò fa ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí ó di ọ̀kọ̀ mú sí ẹ̀yìn, títí ó fi pa gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé ìlú Ai run.
27 And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
Ṣùgbọ́n Israẹli kó ẹran ọ̀sìn àti ìkógun ti ìlú yìí fún ara wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Joṣua.
28 And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
Joṣua sì jó Ai, ó sì sọ ọ́ di ààtàn, àní ahoro di òní yìí.
29 And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.
Ó sì gbé ọba Ai kọ́ orí igi, ó sì fi kalẹ̀ síbẹ̀ títí di ìrọ̀lẹ́. Bí oòrùn sì ti wọ̀ ni Joṣua pàṣẹ fún wọn láti sọ òkú rẹ̀ kalẹ̀ kúrò ní orí igi, kí wọn sì wọ́ ọ jù sí àtiwọ ẹnu ibodè ìlú náà. Wọ́n sì kó òkìtì òkúta ńlá lé e ní orí, èyí tí ó wà títí di òní yìí.
30 Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua mọ pẹpẹ kan fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ní òkè Ebali,
31 As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.
gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Ó sì kọ́ ọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ́ nínú ìwé òfin Mose, pẹpẹ odindi òkúta, èyí tí ẹnìkan kò fi ohun èlò irin kàn rí. Wọ́n sì rú ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun àti ọrẹ àlàáfíà ní orí rẹ̀ sí Olúwa.
32 And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
Níbẹ̀, ní ojú àwọn ará Israẹli, Joṣua sì ṣe àdàkọ òfin Mose èyí tí ó ti kọ sí ara òkúta náà.
33 And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.
Gbogbo Israẹli, àjèjì àti ọmọ ìlú, pẹ̀lú àwọn àgbàgbà, olórí àti onídàájọ́ dúró ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ méjèèjì àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa tí ó kọjú sí àwọn àlùfáà tí ó rù ú, tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi. Ìdajì àwọn ènìyàn náà dúró ní òkè Gerisimu, àwọn ìdajì si dúró ni òkè Ebali, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ti pàṣẹ rí, pé kí wọn súre fún àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli.
34 After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook of the law.
Lẹ́yìn èyí, Joṣua sì ka gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ inú òfin, ìbùkún àti ègún, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ nínú ìwé òfin.
35 He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.
Kò sí ọ̀rọ̀ kan nínú gbogbo èyí tí Mose pàṣẹ tí Joṣua kò kà ní iwájú gbogbo àjọ Israẹli, títí fi kan àwọn obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọ wọn, àti àwọn àjèjì tí ń gbé ní àárín wọn.
