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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Joshua, “Atụla egwu, adakwala mba. Chịrị ndị agha gị niile gaa Ai, nʼihi na ugbu a, unu onwe unu ga-emeri ha. Aga m eme ka i merie eze ndị Ai, na ndị ya na obodo ya, na ala ya.
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.
Ị ga-emekwa obodo Ai na eze ya ihe i mere Jeriko na eze ya. Ma ihe dị iche na nke a bụ na unu ga-edebere onwe unu ihe niile unu kwatara nʼagha, ya bụ anụ ụlọ niile na ngwongwo obodo ahụ niile. Jikerenụ ibuso ha agha. Ọ bụkwa nʼazụ obodo ha ka unu ga-esi lụso ha agha.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Joshua na ndị agha ya niile, biliri gaa ibuso Ai agha. Joshua họpụtara iri puku ndị agha atọ zipụ ha nʼabalị
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.
o nyere ha iwu a, “Lee! Unu ga-aga zoo onwe unu nʼọhịa dị nʼazụ obodo Ai. Unu ezola onwe unu nʼebe dị anya site nʼobodo ahụ, kama nọọnụ nso, nọọkwanụ na njikere.
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.
Mụ na ndị niile so m ga-abịaru obodo ahụ nso. Mgbe ha ga-apụta ịlụso anyị ọgụ dịka ha mere na mbụ, anyị ga-agbakwa ọsọ nʼihu ha,
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.
Ha ga-achụ anyị ọsọ, tutu ruo mgbe anyị mere ka ha niile hapụ nʼobodo ha pụta. Nʼihi nʼuche ha, ha ga-asị, ‘Ha na-agbara anyị ọsọ dịka ha mere na mbụ, bịanụ ka anyị chụọ ha ọsọ gbuo ha.’ Ya mere, dịka anyị na-agbapụ site nʼebe ha nọ,
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.
unu ga-esite nʼebe unu zoro onwe unu bilie, nweta obodo ahụ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ga-enyefe ya nʼaka unu.
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.
Mgbe unu weere obodo ahụ, unu ga-esunye obodo ahụ ọkụ. Meenụ ihe Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu. Hụnụ na unu mezuru ihe ndị a m nyere unu nʼiwu.”
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.
Mgbe Joshua nyesịrị ha iwu ndị a, o zipụrụ ha. Ha hapụkwara nʼabalị ahụ gaa zoo onwe ha nʼọhịa dị nʼetiti Betel na ọdịda anyanwụ Ai. Ma Joshua na ndị agha ndị ọzọ fọdụrụ nọdụrụ nʼabalị ahụ nʼetiti ndị Izrel.
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.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, Joshua chịkọtara ndị agha ya, ya na ndị ndu Izrel gara nʼihu ha, ruo Ai.
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.
Ndị agha niile ha na ya so, chere ihu ha gaa nso obodo ruo nʼihu ya. Ha mara ụlọ ikwu ha nʼakụkụ ugwu obodo Ai, ndagwurugwu bụ ihe kewara ha na obodo ahụ.
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.
Joshua chịịrị ihe ruru puku ndị agha ise, zoo ha nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ obodo ahụ, nʼetiti Betel na Ai.
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.
Ya mere, ndị agha were ọnọdụ ha nʼusoro, ndị ga-ebu agha nọ nʼakụkụ ugwu, ndị niile zoro onwe ha nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ nke obodo ahụ. Ma nʼabalị ahụ, Joshua gara nọdụ na ndagwurugwu ahụ.
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.
Mgbe eze Ai hụrụ nke a, ya na ndị ikom obodo ahụ niile mere ngwangwa pụọ nʼisi ụtụtụ izute ndị Izrel nʼotu ebe, nke chere ihu nʼAraba. Ma ọ mataghị na o nwere ndị agha zubere imegide ya ndị zoro onwe ha nʼọhịa dị nʼazụ obodo.
15 And they were struck Joshua and all Israel before them and they fled [the] direction of the wilderness.
Joshua na ndị Izrel niile mere ka ha chụghachi ha azụ site nʼihu ha, ha gbara ọsọ na-aga akụkụ ọzara ahụ niile dịka ndị e meriri emeri.
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.
Nʼihi nke a, a kpọkuru ndị ikom niile nọ nʼime obodo Ai sị ha pụta bịa chụọ ụmụ Izrel ọsọ, ha chụrụ Joshua na-aga, e si otu a rapụta ha nʼebe dị anya site nʼobodo ahụ.
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.
Ọ dịkwaghị otu onye nwoke nke fọdụrụ na Ai maọbụ na Betel. Ha hapụkwara obodo ahụ ka o ghere oghe, gaa ịchụ ndị Izrel ọsọ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ Joshua sị ya, “Setịpụ ùbe dị gị nʼaka nʼụzọ Ai, nʼihi na aga m enye gị obodo a.” Joshua mere dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara ya.
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.
Mgbe ndị agha ahụ zoro onwe ha nʼime ọhịa lere anya hụ na Joshua setịrị aka ya, ngwangwa, ha wụpụtara site nʼebe ha zoro onwe ha, gbara ọsọ gbaba nʼobodo Ai, merie ya, mụnye ya ọkụ.
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.
Ma mgbe ndị agha Ai lere anya nʼazụ, hụ ka anwụrụ ọkụ si nʼobodo ha na-alali elu, ha dara mba nʼime onwe ha. Ohere ọbụla adịghịkwa nye ha ịgbalaga gaa otu ụzọ maọbụ ụzọ ọzọ. Nʼihi na ndị Izrel ahụ buuru ụzọ gbaa ọsọ, ndị ahụ gbara na-aga nʼọzara, chigharịrị bido ịlụso ndị agha Ai ahụ na-achụ ha ọsọ ọgụ.
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.
Nʼihi na mgbe Joshua na ndị agha Izrel so ya lepụrụ anya hụ ka anwụrụ ọkụ si nʼobodo Ai na-arịgo elu, ha matara na ndị ha zoro onwe ha nʼọhịa abanyela obodo Ai, lụgbuo ya. Ya mere, Joshua na ndị agha so ya tụgharịrị bido igbu ndị agha obodo Ai.
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.
Ndị agha Izrel ahụ gara kpọọ obodo ahụ ọkụ pụtakwara, site nʼobodo ahụ, bido ịlụso ndị agha Ai ọgụ. Nke a mere ka ndị agha Ai nọdụ nʼetiti ụzọ ndị agha Izrel abụọ. Otu nʼihu ha, ndị nke ọzọ nʼazụ ha. Ya mere, ndị agha Izrel menyụrụ ha anya, gbuo ha, ruo na ọ dịkwaghị otu onye fọdụrụ nʼime ha, maọbụ onye gbapụrụ agbapụ.
23 And [the] king of Ai they captured alive and they brought near him to Joshua.
Naanị eze Ai ka e jidere na ndụ. A kpọtakwara ya bịaruo nʼebe Joshua nọ.
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.
Mgbe ndị agha Izrel gbusịrị ndị agha Ai niile nọ nʼọhịa na nʼọzara, ha lọghachiri azụ gbuo ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼime obodo ahụ.
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.
Ndị niile e gburu nʼụbọchị ahụ, ma nwoke ma nwanyị dị puku iri na abụọ. Ọ bụkwa ndị niile nọ nʼobodo ahụ ka e gburu.
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.
Nʼihi na Joshua nọgidere setịpụ ùbe o ji nʼaka ya, megide obodo Ai, tutu e bibie ndị niile nọ nʼobodo ahụ kpamkpam.
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.
Ma ndị Izrel kwaara anụ ụlọ, na ihe nkwata nʼagha nke obodo ahụ, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Joshua nʼiwu si dị.
28 And he burned Joshua Ai and he made it a mound of perpetuity a desolation until the day this.
Ya mere, Joshua kpọrọ obodo Ai ọkụ, mee ya ka ọ ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe nke tọgbọrọ nʼefu ruo taa.
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.
Ma Joshua kwụbara eze ndị Ai nʼelu osisi site nʼụtụtụ ruo nʼanyasị. Mgbe anyanwụ dara, Joshua nyere iwu ka e wedata ozu eze Ai site nʼosisi ahụ, tụsa ya nʼihu ọnụ ụzọ e si abata obodo ahụ. Emesịa, ha tụkọtara ọtụtụ nkume nʼelu ya. Nkume ahụ ha tụkọtara dịkwa nʼebe ahụ ruo taa.
30 Then he built Joshua an altar to Yahweh [the] God of Israel on [the] mountain of Ebal.
Mgbe ahụ, Joshua wuuru Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel ebe ịchụ aja nʼelu ugwu Ebal,
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.
dịka Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị nyere ndị Izrel nʼiwu. O wuru ya dịka ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ iwu Mosis si dị, ebe ịchụ aja a na-ejighị nkume a wara awa wuo, nkume a na-ejighị ngwa ọrụ igwe waa. Nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja a ka ha chụụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo.
32 And he wrote there on the stones copy of [the] law of Moses which he had written before [the] people of Israel.
Ma mgbe ndị Izrel nọ na-ele anya, Joshua depụtara iwu ndị ahụ Mosis nyere ha nʼelu nkume.
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].
Izrel niile, ha na ndị okenye ha, na ndị ọchịagha ha, na ndị ikpe ha, guzo nʼakụkụ abụọ nke igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, na ncherita ihu ndị nchụaja, bụ ndị Livayị ndị na-ebu ya. Ma ndị ọbịa bi nʼetiti ha, ma ndị amụrụ nʼala ahụ nọ nʼebe ahụ. Ọkara nʼime ha gara guzo nʼakụkụ ugwu Gerizim, ọkara ndị ọzọ guzoro nʼakụkụ ugwu Ebal, dịka Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu na mbụ, na ha ga-agọzi ndị Izrel.
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.
Emesịa, Joshua gụpụtara na ntị ha, okwu niile nke iwu ahụ, ya na ngọzị na ọbụbụ ọnụ so ya, dịka ihe niile e dere nʼAkwụkwọ Iwu si dị.
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.
Iwu niile Mosis nyere ha ka Joshua gụpụtara na ntị ndị Izrel niile. Ndị inyom na ụmụntakịrị, na ndị ọbịa niile bi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel so nọkọọ nʼoge a ndị Izrel niile zukọrọ.
