Joshua 8
1 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city and his land:
Le hoe t’Iehovà am’Iehosoa: Ko hemban-drehe, ko manahelo; miavota naho endeso mindre ama’o mb’e Ày mb’eo ze hene lahin-defoñe, Inao fa natoloko am-pità’o ty mpanjaka’ i Ày naho ondati’eo naho i rova’ey vaho i tane’ey.
2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: set thee an ambush for the city behind it.
Hanoe’o amy Ày naho amy mpanjaka’ey hambañe amy nanoa’o am’ Ieriko naho i mpanjaka’eiy; fe ho tana’ areo ho tsindro’ areo o vara’eo, naho o añombe’eo, Vandroño boak’ am-boho’e ao i rovay.
3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valour, and sent them forth by night.
Aa le niongake t’Iehosoa rekets’ o hene’ lahin-defoñeo, hionjoñe mb’e Ày mb’eo; jinobo’ Iehosoa ty lahilahy telo-ale, fanalolahy mahavany, vaho nirahe’e mb’eo haleñe.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
Nafanto’e ami’ty hoe: Inao! hiampitse amboho’ i rovay nahareo hamandroñe i rovay, ko halavira’ areo i rovay, vaho fonga mihentseña.
5 and I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them;
Izaho reketse ze hene’ ondaty amako ro higodañe mb’ amy rovay mb’eo; ie amy zao, naho miakatse hañoridañe anay iereo manahake i teoy, le handripak’ an-day añatrefa’ iareo zahay.
6 and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first; so we will flee before them:
Ie miakatse hañoridañe anay, naho fa tinari’ay hisitak’ amy rovay le hanao ty hoe: Hehe t’ie milay an-tikañe manahake tam-pifotora’ey. Izay ty hilaisa’ay aolo’ iareo mb’eo.
7 and ye shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
Hiongak’ am-piampirañe amy zao nahareo hitavañe i rovay; fa hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo am-pità’ areo.
8 And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of the LORD shall ye do: see, I have commanded you.
Ie nivotrake amy rovay, le ampiforeheto añ’ afo i rovay; i tsinara’ Iehovày ty hanoa’ areo aze; inay, fa liniliko.
9 And Joshua sent them forth: and they went to the ambushment, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
Aa le nampionjone’ Iehosa; le nimb’eo iereo niampitse, naho nitobe añivo’ i Betele naho i Ày ahandrefa’ i Ày ao; nialeñe am’ ondatio avao t’Iehosoa.
10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Nañampitso amy loak’ àndroy t’Iehosoa, le nitehafe’e ondatio vaho nionjoñe mb’eo, ie naho o mpiaolo’ Israeleo ty niaolo ondatio mb’e Ày añe.
11 And all the people, [even] the [men of] war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between him and Ai.
Aa le nionjom’ beo iaby ondaty nindre ama’eo, o lahindefoñeo, naho nañarine mb’eo, le nijohañe tandrife i rovay, vaho nitobe avara’ i Ày ey; toe añivo’e naho i Ày eo ty vavatane.
12 And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city.
Nandrambe lahilahy va’e lime-arivo re vaho nampiampire’e añivo’ i Betele naho i Ày ahandrefa’ i rovay.
13 So they set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait that were on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the vale.
Aa le nisalahàñe i maroiy: i lahialeñe avara’ i rovaiy naho o nivolio am-piampirañe ahandrefa’ i rovay ao; le nimb’ añ’ ivo’ i vavataney hialeñe t’Iehosoa.
14 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he wist not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
Ie amy zao, naho nahaoniñe izay ty mpanjaka’ i Ay le nalisa niongake maraindray o lahilahi’ i rovaio vaho niakatse hiambotrak’ am’ Israele an-kotakotake, ie naho ondati’e iabio, mb’ amy namotoañañey, aolo’ i Arabày; fe tsy napota’e te amboho’ i rovay ty nivoñoñe aze.
15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Nanao sare gioke aolo’ iareo t’Iehosoa naho Israele iaby, le nandripàke mb’ an-dala’ i fatrambeiy mb’eo.
16 And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Aa le kinoike iaby ondati’ i Aio hifanontoñe, hañoridàñe; le nihoridà’ iareo t’Iehosoa, nisitake amy rovay.
17 And there was not a man left in Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
Tsy nengaeñe ondaty ty e Ay ndra e Betele ao ze tsy niakatse hañotroke Israele; napo’ iareo nisokake i rovay le nañoridañe Israele.
18 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà am’ Iehosoa: Atora-kitsio mb’amy Ay i lefoñe am-pità’oy; fa hatoloko am-pità’o. Aa le nahiti’ Iehosoa mb’ amy rovay i lefoñe am-pità’ey.
19 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and set the city on fire.
Nivoratsake boak’ an-toe’e ao amy zao o niampitseo; namorehetse ty lay mb’eo ty amy nañitia’e i fità’eiy naho nimoak’ amy rovay ao, nitavañe aze, vaho namiañe afo amy rovay.
20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
Aa ie nitolike naho niisake mañamboho o lahilahi’ i Aio, ingo nañatoeñe mb’ an-dikeramb’eo i rovay, le tsy nioniñe ty hipotatsaha’ iareo ke mb’ atia he mb’ etia amy te nibalike mb’ amo nañoridañe iareoo mb’eo o nilay mb’ ampatrambeio.
21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
Naho nioni’ Iehosoa naho Israele iaby te tinava’ o nanàmpokeo i rovay naho te nionjoñe mañambone ty hatoe’ i rovay, le nibalike, vaho zinama’ iareo o lahilahi’ i Aio.
22 And the other came forth out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
Niakatse i rovay ka o ila’eo hifañatrek’ am’ iareo; aa le niarikoboña’ Israele, etia ty ila’e, atia ty ila’e, vaho binaibai’e iereo ampara’ t’ie po-sehanga’e leo raike tsy nahapoliotse.
23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Nenga’ iereo veloñe ty mpanjaka’ i Ay vaho nasese mb’ am’ Iehosoa mb’eo.
24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
Ie nihenefe’ Israele zamañe o mpimone’ i Ay an-kivoke eio naho i ampatrañe ey nañoridañe iareo rezay, toe nampitsingoritriem-pibara ampara’ t’ie nimongotse, le hene nitolike mb’e Ay mb’eo t’Israele, nanjevoñ’ aze an-dela-pibara.
25 And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
Ty hamaro nikorovok’ amy andro zay amo lahilahy naho rakembao, le rai-ale-tsi-ro’arivo—ze hene’ondati’ i Ay.
26 For Joshua drew not back his hand wherewith he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Tsy nafore’ Iehosoa ty fità’e nañity i lefoñey ampara’ te nimongore’e ze fonga mpimone’ i Ay.
27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.
O añombeo naho i vara-fikopa’ i rovay avao ty tinava’ Israele ho fitsindro’e ty amy tsara linili’ Iehovà am’Iehosoay.
28 So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation, unto this day.
Aa le finorototo’ Iehosoa ty Ay naho nanoe’e tamboho tsy modo, toe hoake ampara’ henane.
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the eventide: and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, unto this day.
Naradorado’e an-katae ty mpanjaka’ i Ay ampara’ te hariva; ie tsofots’ andro le nandily t’Iehosoa naho nazotso’ iareo amy hataey i lolo’ey, naho navokovoko an-dalam-bei’ i rovay vaho naonjoñe ama’e ty votrim-bato jabajaba mbe eo henanekeo.
30 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD, the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
Le namboara’ Iehosoa kitrely t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, am-bohi’ Ebale eo
31 as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man had lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
ty amy nandilia’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleoy, manahake i sinokitse amy boke Hà’ i Mosèiy, kitrely vato tsy pinèke, tsy nañonjonañe viñe; naho nibanabanae’ iareo soroñe am’ Iehovà, vaho nandenta engan-kanintsiñe.
32 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the children of Israel.
Sinoki’e amo vatoo ty hambañe amy Tsara’ i Mosèy, nisokire’e añatrefa’ o ana’ Israeleo.
33 And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger as the homeborn; half of them in front of mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel first of all.
Hene nijohañe añ’ila’ i vatam-pañinay etoy naho añ’ ila’e eroy añatrefa’ o mpisoroñe nte-Levy nitarazo i vatam-pañina’ Iehovàio t’Israele naho o mpiaolo’eo naho o mpifehe’eo vaho o mpizaka’eo sindre tao ty renetane naho t’indaty; ty ila’e aolo’ i vohi-Gerizimey naho ty ila’e aolo’ i vohi-Ebaley; ty amy nandilia’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà am-baloha’ey, hitatàñe o ana’ Israeleo.
34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
Modo izay le vinaki’e o enta’ i Hake iabio, o tatao naho o fatseo, ze hene sinokitse amy boke’ i Hake ao.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
Ndra raik’ amo tsara linili’ i Mosèo tsy nado’ Iehosoa fa hene nivakie añatrefam-pivori-bei’ Israele, naho amo rakembao, naho amo keleiañeo vaho amo renetane niharo am’ iereoo.
