Joshua 8
1 And he said Yahweh to Joshua may not you fear and may not you be dismayed take with you all [the] people of war and arise go up Ai see - I have given in hand your [the] king of Ai and people his and city his and land his.
以後上主對若蘇厄說：「你不要害怕! 不要膽怯，只管率領所有的軍民，前去進攻哈依城。看，我已將哈依王，百姓、城池和土地，都交在你手中。
2 And you will do to Ai and to king its just as you did to Jericho and to king its only booty its and livestock its you will plunder for yourselves set for yourself an ambush for the city behind it.
你要對待哈依城和哈依王，如同對待耶利哥和耶利哥王一樣；只有城中的戰利品和牲畜，你們可據為己有。你應在城後面，設下攻城的伏兵。」
3 And he arose Joshua and all [the] people of war to go up Ai and he chose Joshua thirty thousand man [the] mighty [men] of strength and he sent out them night.
若蘇厄於是與所有的軍兵前去進攻哈依城。若蘇厄選了三萬精兵，派他們黑夜出發，
4 And he commanded them saying see you [are] lying in wait for the city behind the city may not you go far away from the city very and you will be all of you prepared.
吩咐他們說：「你們要注意，在城那邊，即在城後面埋伏下，不可離城太遠，個個都要戒備。
5 And I and all the people which [is] with me we will draw near to the city and it will be that they will come out to meet us just as at the first [time] and we will flee before them.
我和我率領的人，向城推進；當他們像前次一樣出來迎擊我們時，我們就由他們前面逃走。
6 And they will come out after us until have drawn out we them from the city for they will say [they are] fleeing before us just as at the first [time] and we will flee before them.
他們一定出來追趕我們。我們將他們誘出城來，他們必說：這些像前次一樣，又由我們面前逃走了。我們就由他們前面逃走。
7 And you you will arise from the ambush and you will take possession of the city and he will give it Yahweh God your in hand your.
那時你們應從埋伏的地方出來，佔領城市，上主你們的天主必將這城交在你們手中。
8 And it will be when have captured you the city you will set on fire the city with fire according to [the] word of Yahweh you will do see I have commanded you.
你們一佔領了城，就放火焚燒，全照上主的話執行。你們應注意我吩咐你們的事。」
9 And he sent out them Joshua and they went to the ambush and they remained between Beth-el and between Ai from [the] west of Ai and he stayed Joshua in the night that in among the people.
若蘇厄就打發他們去了。他們便開到埋伏的地方，停在貝特耳和哈依之間，在哈依西面。那中夜若蘇厄便在百姓中過了夜。
10 And he rose early Joshua in the morning and he mustered the people and he went up he and [the] elders of Israel before the people Ai.
若蘇厄清早起來，點齊軍民；然後與與以色列的長老，在軍人前頭向哈依城進發。
11 And all the people of war which [was] with him they went up and they approached and they came before the city and they encamped from [the] north of Ai and the valley ([was] between it *Q(k)*) and between Ai.
跟隨他的所有軍人也都一齊進發，迫近城下，在哈依北面紮了營。原來在他和哈依中間隔著一個山谷。
12 And he took about five thousand man and he set them an ambush between Beth-el and between Ai from [the] west of the city.
若蘇厄調了約五千人，令他們埋伏在貝特耳和哈依之間，即在哈依西面。
13 And they set the people all the camp which [was] from [the] north of the city and rearguard its from [the] west of the city and he went Joshua in the night that in [the] middle of the valley.
這樣城北的軍民和城西的伏兵，都嚴陣以待。當夜若蘇厄就在谷中過了夜。
14 And it was when saw [the] king of Ai and they hurried and they rose early and they went out [the] men of the city to meet Israel for battle he and all people his to the appointed place before the Arabah and he not he knew that an ambush for him [was] behind the city.
哈依王一見這情形，便和全城的人急忙起來，到了面對阿拉巴的山坡，要和以色列人交戰，但他沒有料到城後面還有伏兵。
15 And they were struck Joshua and all Israel before them and they fled [the] direction of the wilderness.
若蘇厄和以色列人在他們面前詐敗，沿著往曠野的路奔逃，
16 And they were called together all the people which ([was] in Ai *Q(K)*) to pursue after them and they pursued after Joshua and they were drawn out from the city.
城中的人盡被徵調，在後追趕。當他們若蘇厄時，都被誘出城來；
17 And not he remained anyone in Ai and Beth-el who not they went out after Israel and they left the city open and they pursued after Israel.
在哈依和貝特耳沒有留下一個人不出來追趕以色列人的。他們拋下敞開的城門，都去追趕以色列人。
18 And he said Yahweh to Joshua stretch out with the javelin which [is] in hand your to Ai for in hand your I will give it and he stretched out Joshua with the javelin which [was] in hand his to the city.
這時上主對若蘇厄說：「將你手中的短劍指向哈依城，因為我即將這城交於你手中。」若蘇厄便將手中的短指向哈依城。
19 And the ambush it arose quickly from place its and they ran when stretched out hand his and they went the city and they captured it and they hurried and they set on fire the city with fire.
他一伸手，伏兵即由他們埋伏的地方奮起，衝向城中，將城佔領，急速放火焚燒。
20 And they turned [the] men of Ai behind them and they saw and there! it went up [the] smoke of the city the heavens towards and not it was in them hands to flee hither and hither and the people which was fleeing the wilderness it turned back against the pursuer.
哈依人回頭，看見城內濃煙沖天，都沒有了往前後逃跑的力量，因為此時向曠野奔逃的以色列人，忽然轉過身來還擊追趕自己的哈依人。
21 And Joshua and all Israel they saw that it had captured the ambush the city and that it went up [the] smoke of the city and they turned back and they attacked [the] men of Ai.
若蘇厄和全以色列見伏兵已奪了城，城內煙氣上騰，便轉身回來擊殺哈依人。
22 And these [men] they came out from the city to meet them and they were to Israel in the middle these from this and these from this and they struck down them until not he had left to him a survivor and a fugitive.
伏兵也由城內出來夾擊，哈依人便包圍在以色列人中間，前後受敵；以色列人將他們完全殺盡，沒有留下一個，也沒有逃走一個。
23 And [the] king of Ai they captured alive and they brought near him to Joshua.
他們生摛了哈依王，把他解到若蘇厄面前。
24 And it was when had finished Israel to kill all [the] inhabitants of Ai in the open country in the wilderness which they had pursued them in it and they had fallen all of them to [the] mouth of [the] sword until were finished they and they returned all Israel Ai and they attacked it to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
以色列人在曠野的平原上，殺盡了追趕自己的一切哈依居民，哈依人全都死於刀下；以後，全以色列人又回到哈依，殺盡城中的人。
25 And it was all those [who] fell on the day that from man and unto woman two [plus] ten thousand all [the] people of Ai.
那天被殺的人，男女共計一萬二千，都是哈依人。
26 And Joshua not he drew back hand his which he had stretched out with the javelin until that he had totally destroyed all [the] inhabitants of Ai.
若蘇厄在沒有殺盡哈依的一切居民前，一直沒有收回自己手中所持的短劍。
27 Only the livestock and [the] booty of the city that they plundered for themselves Israel according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had commanded Joshua.
惟有城中的牲畜和財物，以色列人依照上主吩咐若蘇厄的話，據為己有。
28 And he burned Joshua Ai and he made it a mound of perpetuity a desolation until the day this.
然後若蘇厄焚毀哈依城，使之永遠成為廢墟，時至今日，仍是一片荒涼；
29 And [the] king of Ai he hanged on the tree until [the] time of the evening and just as went the sun he commanded Joshua and they took down corpse his from the tree and they threw it to [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and they set up over him a heap of stones great until the day this.
又將哈依王懸在樹上，直到黃昏；日落時，若蘇厄令人將他的死屍從樹上卸下，丟在城門口，在他身上又 堆石頭，直存到今日。
30 Then he built Joshua an altar to Yahweh [the] God of Israel on [the] mountain of Ebal.
那時，若蘇厄在厄巴耳山，為上主以色列的天主，築了一座祭壇；
31 Just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh [the] people of Israel according to [what] is written in [the] book of [the] law of Moses an altar of stones complete which not anyone has wielded on them iron and they offered up on it burnt offerings to Yahweh and they sacrificed peace offerings.
全照上主的僕人梅瑟向以色列子民所吩咐的，全照梅瑟法律書上所記載的，用沒有用過的整塊石頭，築了一座祭壇，在上面向上主獻了全燔祭，祭殺了和平祭犧牲。
32 And he wrote there on the stones copy of [the] law of Moses which he had written before [the] people of Israel.
若蘇厄又在那裏將梅瑟當著以色列子民的面所寫的法律，刻在石頭上。
33 And all Israel and elders its and officials - and judges its [were] standing from this - and from this - of the ark before the priests the Levites [the] bearers of - [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh as the sojourner as the native half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Gerizim and half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Ebal just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh to bless the people Israel at the former [time].
以色列全體民眾和他們的長老、領袖、判官，連僑居的人和土生的人，一半向著革黎斤山，一半向著厄巴耳山，正如上主的僕人梅瑟，當初為祝福以色列百姓所命令的。
34 And after thus he read aloud all [the] words of the law the blessing and the curse according to every [thing] written in [the] book of the law.
以後若蘇厄將法律上祝福和詛咒的一切話，全照法律書上所記載的，宣讀了一遍。
35 Not it was anything from all that he had commanded Moses which not he read aloud Joshua before all [the] assembly of Israel and the women and the little one[s] and the sojourner[s] who went in midst their.
凡梅瑟所吩咐的一切話，若蘇厄在以色列全會眾前，連婦孺和寄居在他們中的外僑在內，沒有一句不向他們宣讀。
