Joshua 8
1 The Lord said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid or downhearted! Take all the fighting men with you and attack Ai, for I'm handing over to you the king of Ai, his people, his town, and his land.
Hanki anante Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Korora osuge, atregeno kagu'amo'a kna osino. Maka sondia vahera zamavarenka marerinka Ai kumara hara ome huzamanto. Na'ankure Nagra Ai kuma'mofo kini ne'ma, vahe'ama, ran kuma'ane, mopa'anena ko kagri kzampi ante'noe.
2 You will do to Ai and its king what you did to Jericho and its king. However, this time you may keep for yourselves the plunder and the livestock. Set up an ambush behind the town.”
Kagra Jeriko kini ne'ene rankuma'anema hu'nanaza hunka, Ai rankuma'mofo kini ne'ene ana maka'zana eri haviza huo. Hianagi ana kumapinti'ma maka tamavesisia zantamine bulimakao afutaminena tamagra'a suza avreta viho. Hanki menina ha'ma hanagu tro nehuta, mago'a sondia vahera huzmantenke'za rankumamofo mefiga'a kafona omenteho.
3 So Joshua and all the people got ready to attack Ai. He chose thirty thousand of his best fighting men and sent them out at night.
Anagema hige'za Josua'ene maka sondia vahe'mo'za Ai kumate vahera ha' huzmantenaku vu'naze. Hanki koro osu'za hanaveti'za ha'ma nehaza vahe Josua'a 30 tauseni'a huzmantege'za kenageke vu'naze.
4 He ordered them, “You lie in ambush behind the town, not far away. All of you need to be ready.
Hagi nevzageno Josua'a amanage huno huzmante'ne, Ama nanekea tamagesa anteta antahiho, tamagra rankuma'mofo tvaonte amefiga'a kafo ome anteta hahu'are tro huta umaniho.
5 When I and the rest of the men with me approach the town, the defenders will run out to attack us just like before, and we'll run away from them.
Hanki nagranema mani'naza sondia vahe'enena rankuma'mofona avugati vugahune. Hanki Ai rankumapi vahe'mo'zama ko'ma hu'nazaza hu'za ha'ma hurante'naku atiramiza esnageta, tagra ese knazupama hu'nonaza huta zamimi huta koro freta egahune.
6 They'll chase after us as we draw them away from the town, because they'll say to each other, ‘They're running away from us just like before.’
Tagra zami'mi huta freta esunke'za, rankuma'zmia atre'za trotago hu'za afete'ma esu'za zamagra amanage hugahaze, ko'ma hu'nazaza hu'za tagri koro fraze nehanageta, tagra zami'mi huta afete kna egahune.
7 While we're running away from them, you will get up from your ambush positions and take the town for the Lord God will hand it over to you.
Anama hanunketa tamagra kafoma antetama mani'nafintira atretma vutma, Ai rankumara ome eriho. Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a ana rankumara tazampi antegahie.
8 Once you've captured the town, set it on fire, as the Lord has instructed. Now follow your orders.”
Hagi tamagrama ana rankuma'ma ome eritesuta, teve tagintenkeno teno. Ra Anumzamo'ma nasamige'na tamasami'noa kante antetma anazana hiho.
9 Joshua sent them out, and they went to lie in ambush between Bethel and the west side of Ai. But that night Joshua stayed with the people in the camp.
Nehuno Josua'a ana sondia vahera huzmantege'za vu'za zagema ufre kaziga Ai rankuma'ene Beteli rankuma'mofo amu'nozanifi ome kafona ante'naze. Hianagi agra Josua'a ruga'a sondia vahezagane kumama ome ante'za mani'narega ana kenagera mani'ne.
10 Early the next morning Joshua got up early and gathered the people and went up to attack Ai, accompanied by the elders of Israel.
Hanki Josua'a nanterampi otino sondia vahe'zaga kehu tru huteno, Israeli ranra vahera zamavareno ugota hige'za sondia vahe'ane Ai kumate vu'naze.
11 All the fighting men who were with him approached the front of the town, and camped there on the north side, with a valley between them and Ai.
Josua'enema vu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za rankumamofona avuga kazigati vurava'o hu'naze. Anante Ai rankumamofona noti kaziga mago agupo amu'nozamifina me'negeno kantu kaziga Ai rankuma me'nege'za, kamakaziga kumara omente'naze.
12 He took about five thousand men and had them lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of the town.
Hagi Josua'a sondia vahera 5 tauseni'a naza ko huzamantege'za vu'za, Ai rankumamofo zage fre kaziga Ai kuma'ene Beteli kumamokizni amu'nompi kafona omente'naze.
13 So the army took up their positions—the main army to the north of the town, and the ambush to the west. Joshua went that night to the valley.
Hanki ha'ma hanaza kankamuna amanahu hu'za retrora hu'naze. Ai rankumamofo noti kazigama tro'ma hu'za mani'naza sondia vahera rama'agna hu'za mani'naze. Ana hazage'za mago'a sondia vahera zage ufre kaziga kafonte'za mani'naze. Hanki Josua'a ana kenagera agra agupofi uramino umani'ne.
14 As soon as the king of Ai saw the situation, he and all his men rushed out early in the morning to attack the Israelites where they had before, at a place overlooking the Jordan valley. He didn't know about the ambush waiting on the other side of the town.
Hanki Ai kumate kini ne'mo'ma agra anama hazazama negeno'a, agrane maka vahe'ane, maka ana kumapi vene'nemo'za Israeli naga Jodani agupofi ha' huzmanteku nanterampi ame hu'za kumara atre'za atirami'za e'naze. Hianagi Ai kumate kini ne'mo'a kuma'amofo amefi'ama mago'a Israeli vahe'mo'zama kafoma omente'zama mani'nazana onke'ne.
15 Joshua and the Israelites allowed themselves to be driven back, and ran away in the direction of the wilderness.
Anante Josua'ene maka sondia vahe'amo'za Ai kumate kini nera revatga hu'za ami'mi hu'za hagege kokama me'nerega fre'za vu'naze.
16 All the men of the town were called out to chase after them, and as they pursued Joshua they were drawn father from the town.
Hagi Ai kini ne'mo'ma zamagege'za Israeli naga'mo'zama zami'mi hu'za koroma frazageno'a, maka venenema ana rankumapima mani'naza vahera ke hige'za, Israeli vahera zamarotago hu'za vu'naze. Ana hige'za kumazamia atre'za Josuane Israeli vahetamina zamarotgo hu'za afete vu'naze.
17 There wasn't a man left in Ai and Bethel who didn't go out to chase the Israelites. They left the town wide open as they pursued the Israelites.
Hanki Ai kumate'ene Beteli kumate vene'nea magore hu'za kumazmia kegava hu'za omani'za, ana maka'mo'za atre'za Israeli vahe zamarotago hu'za vazageno, kuma kahamo'a hagro huno me'ne.
18 Then the Lord told Joshua, “Hold up the spear in your hand and point it at Ai, because I'm giving it to you.” So Joshua held up the spear in his hand and pointed it at the town.
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Josuana asami'ne, Karugru keveka'a erisga hunka Ai kumatega agona'a hunto, na'ankure Ai kumara kagri kzampi Nagra menina antegahue. Anage higeno Josua'a krugru keve'a erisga huno Ai kumatega agona'a hunte'ne.
19 As soon as they saw this signal the men lying in ambush got up and rushed into the town. They captured it, and quickly set it on fire.
Hanki Josua'a karugru keve'ama erisgama hige'za kafoma ante'naza sondia vahe'mo'za nege'za, kafoma ante'naretira ame hu'za oti'za zamagare'za Ai rankumapina ufre'za, kuma'ma maka erivagamanere'za ame hu'za ana kumara teve taginte'naze.
20 When the men of Ai looked back they saw the smoke rising up into the sky from the town. They had nowhere to run to, because the Israelites who had been running away towards the wilderness now turned on their pursuers.
Hanki Ai kumate vene'nemo'zama rukrahe hu'zama kazana kuma'zamifintira tevegumo'a vemagu vemagu huno mareri'ne. Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'zama zami'mi hu'za koro'ma fre'za nevazaretira rukrahe hu'za, Ai nagara hara hu'zamante'za azageno, koro'ma fre'naza kazamia omnene.
21 For when Joshua and the Israelites saw that the ambush group had captured the town, and that smoke was rising from it, they turned around and attacked the men of Ai.
Anante Josua'ene mika Israeli vahe'mo'zama zami'mi hu'za Ai vahe'ma nevazareti'ma, kageno Ai rankumapinti'ma teve kumo'ma vemagu vemagu huno monaregama marerige'za nege'za ete rukrahe hu'za zamarotagoma hu'za nevaza Ai vahera zamahe'naze.
22 The men from the ambush also came from the town and attacked them, so they were caught on the middle, with the Israelites on both sides. The Israelites cut them down—not a single man survived or got away.
Hanki Israeli sondia vahe'ma Ai rankumapima mani'naza naga'mo'za atiramiza Ai vahera zamefiti hara eme huzmante'naze. Ana hu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Ai vahera zamazeri amu'no hute'za magore hu'za ozamatre'za, ana maka zamahe hana hu'naze.
23 Only the king of Ai was captured alive, and he was brought before Joshua.
Hianagi magoke Ai kini ne'ke ahe ofri avre'za Josuante vu'naze.
24 When the Israelites had finished killing the men of Ai who had chased them towards the wilderness—once they had all been cut down by the sword—the whole Israelite army returned to the town and killed everyone living there.
Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'za ha' vahezmima, ka'ma kokampi ome zamahe vaganere'za ete rukrahe hu'za vu'za, Ai rankumapima mani'naza vahera bainati kazinteti ome zamahe vagare'naze.
25 Those who were killed that day numbered twelve thousand, men and women—all the inhabitants of Ai.
Hanki ana zupa 12 tauseni'a Ai kumate vene'nene a'nene zamahe fri'naze.
26 For Joshua had continued to hold up his spear until all the people of Ai had been destroyed.
Hianagi Josua'a karugru keve'ama erisga huno agona'ama Ai kumategama hunte'nea azana erinte orami erisga hu'nege'za, maka Ai kumapima mani'naza vahera zamahe vagare'naze.
27 Only the livestock and plunder were taken from the town by the Israelites, as the Lord had instructed Joshua.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo'ma Josuama asmi'nea kante ante'za, zamagra'a suza bulimakao afutaminke nevre'za, Ai kumapintira mago'a zantaminena eri'naze.
28 So Joshua burned the town of Ai, making it permanently into a heap of ruins where no one lives to this very day.
Ana hutegeno Josua'a Ai rankumara teve tagintegeno tevemo te osavazigeno ana zantamimo'a hihi huno meno ama knarera e'ne.
29 He killed the king of Ai and hung his body on a tree until evening. When the sun went down Joshua ordered the body taken down. They threw it down in front of the entrance to the town gate and piled a heap of rocks over it which is still there today.
Anante Josua'a Ai kini nera anankempi nofi harari vazino mago zafare anakintegeno frino avufga'amo'a meno vuno kinaga ome se'ne. Hagi zagea tamifretegeno, Josua'a vahe huzmantege'za avufga'a eri'za Ai rankumamofo ufre kafante ome netre'za, ana agofetura have eri'za antehihi hazageno, ana haveramimo'a meno ama knarera ehanati'ne.
30 Then Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal for the Lord, the God of Israel.
Anante Josua'a Ebali agonafi mago kresramna vu ita Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzantega tro hu'ne.
31 He did what Moses, the servant of the Lord, had told the Israelites to do, as recorded in the book of the Law of Moses: an altar of uncut stones which no one has worked with iron tools. On the altar they made burnt offerings and friendship offerings to the Lord.
Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamasami'nea kea amage nenteno, Mosese kasegefi me'nea kante'ene amage anteno aenireti taga hu'za eri fatgo osu'naza haveraminteti, mago kre fananema hu ofama hu ita trohu'ne. Ana itamofo agofetura tevefi kre fananehu ofane, Anumzanema mago zamarimpa hu ofa hu'naze.
32 There in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua inscribed on the stones a copy of the Law of Moses.
Anante ko'ma Mosese'ma kre'nea kasegea Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamavure Josua'a mago'a havemofo agofetu ete krente'ne.
33 All the Israelites, the elders, the officers, and the judges stood in two groups facing each other with the priests, the Levites, and the Ark of the Lord's Agreement between them. (Included were the foreigners as well as the native born.) Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim, and half in front of Mount Ebal, just as Moses had ordered, for the blessing of the people this first time.
Ana maka Israeli vahe'ma ranra vahetamima keagama refkoma nehaza vahe'ma, sondia vahete kva vahe'ma, rurega vahe'ma zamagranema nemaniza vahe'mo'za tare kevu vahera refko hu'naze. Ana hute'za mago kevu vahe'mo'za Gerisim agona tava'onte manizageno, mago kevu vahe'mo'za Ebeli agona tvaonte mani'naze. Ana hazageno Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimo'a amu'nozamifi me'ne. Hige'za ana vogisima pristi vahe'mo'zama erisgama hu'za vazazana maka veamo'za ke'naze. Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma zamasamino, Kenani mopafima umaniteta tamazeri so'e hanigu Ramofontega hihoma hu'nea zana hu'naze.
34 Then Joshua read out the whole Law—all the blessings and curses recorded in the book of the Law.
Anante maka asomu'ma huzmantesia ke'ne, zamazeri havizama hu kema Mosese'ma kasege avontafepima krente'neana maka vahe zamavuga Josua'a hamprine.
35 Joshua read out every word of Moses' instruction to the whole Israelite assembly, including the women, the children, and the foreigners who lived among them.
Josua'a ana maka kasegema Mosese'ma kre'neana magore huno otreno hampri vagarege'za, maka Israeli vahe'mo'za antahi'naze. Hanki a'ne'ma, mofavre zagama, ruregati vahe'ma zamagranema nemaniza nena ana kea antahi'naze.
