Joshua 8
1 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not fear; do not be discouraged. Take with you all the people of war. Go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, Huwag kang matakot, ni manglumo: ipagsama mo ang buong bayang pangdigma, at bumangon ka, na sumampa ka sa Hai: tingnan mo, aking ibinigay sa iyong kamay ang hari sa Hai, at ang kaniyang bayan, at ang kaniyang siyudad, at ang kaniyang lupain;
2 You will do to Ai and her king as you have done to Jericho and her king, except that you will take the plunder and the cattle for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the city.”
At iyong gagawin sa Hai at sa kaniyang hari ang gaya ng iyong ginawa sa Jerico at sa kaniyang hari: ang samsam lamang doon, at ang mga hayop niyaon, ang iyong kukunin na pinakasamsam ninyo: lagyan mo ng mga bakay ang bayan sa likuran.
3 So Joshua got up and took all the men of war up to Ai. Then Joshua chose thirty thousand men—strong, courageous men—and he sent them out at night.
Sa gayo'y bumangon si Josue, at ang buong bayang pangdigma, upang sumampa sa Hai: at pumili si Josue ng tatlong pung libong lalake, na mga makapangyarihang lalaking matapang, at sinugo ng kinagabihan.
4 He commanded them, “Look, you will lie in ambush against the city, behind it. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.
At iniutos niya sa kanila, na sinasabi, Narito, kayo'y babakay laban sa bayan, sa likuran ng bayan: huwag kayong lumayong totoo sa bayan kundi humanda kayo;
5 I and all the men with me will approach the city, and when they come out to attack us, we will run away from them just as before.
At ako, at ang buong bayan na kasama ko ay lalapit sa bayan. At mangyayari, na pagka sila'y lumabas laban sa amin gaya ng una, ay tatakas kami sa harap nila;
6 They will come out after us until we have drawn them away from the city. They will say, 'They are running away from us as they did the last time.' So we will run away from them.
At sila'y lalabas na susunod sa amin, hanggang sa aming mailayo sila sa bayan, sapagka't kanilang sasabihin, Sila'y tumatakas sa harap natin, na gaya ng una; gayon kami tatakas sa harap nila:
7 Then you come up out of your place of hiding, and you will capture the city. Yahweh your God will give it into your hand.
At kayo'y babangon sa pagbakay, at inyong aariin ang bayan: sapagka't ibibigay ng Panginoon ninyong Dios sa inyong kamay.
8 When you capture the city, you will set it on fire. You will do this when you obey the command given in the word of Yahweh. See, I have commanded you.”
At mangyayari, na pagka inyong nasakop ang bayan, ay inyong sisilaban ng apoy ang bayan; ayon sa salita ng Panginoon ay inyong gagawin: narito, aking iniutos sa inyo.
9 Joshua sent them out, and they went to the place of ambush, and they hid between Bethel and Ai to the west of Ai. But Joshua slept that night among the people.
At pinapagpaalam sila ni Josue: at sila'y yumaon sa pagbakay, at lumagay sa pagitan ng Beth-el at ng Hai, sa dakong kalunuran ng Hai: nguni't si Josue ay tumigil ng gabing yaon sa gitna ng bayan.
10 Joshua got up early in the morning and got his soldiers ready, Joshua and the elders of Israel, and they attacked the people of Ai.
At si Josue ay bumangong maaga sa kinaumagahan, at binilang ang bayan, at sumampa siya at ang mga matanda ng Israel, sa unahan ng bayan, sa Hai.
11 All the fighting men who were with him went up and approached the city. They came near the city and camped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between them and Ai.
At ang buong bayan, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga taong pangdigma na kinasama niya, ay sumampa, at lumapit, at naparoon sa harap ng bayan, at humantong sa dakong hilagaan ng Hai: mayroon ngang isang libis sa pagitan niya at ng Hai.
12 He took about five thousand men and set them in ambush on the west side of the city between Bethel and Ai.
At siya'y kumuha ng may limang libong lalake at inilagay niya silang bakay sa pagitan ng Beth-el at ng Hai sa dakong kalunuran ng bayan.
13 They positioned all the soldiers, the main army on the north side of the city, and the rear guard on the west side of the city. Joshua spent that night in the valley.
Gayon inilagay nila ang bayan, ang buong hukbo na nasa hilagaan ng bayan, at ang kanilang mga bakay na nasa kalunuran ng bayan; at si Josue ay naparoon ng gabing yaon sa gitna ng libis.
14 It came about when the king of Ai saw it, he and his army got up early and rushed out to attack Israel at a certain place that was overlooking the Jordan River valley. He did not know that an ambush was waiting to attack from behind the city.
At nangyari, nang makita ng hari sa Hai, na sila'y nagmadali at bumangong maaga, at ang mga lalake sa bayan ay lumabas laban sa Israel upang makipagbaka, siya at ang kaniyang buong bayan, sa kapanahunang takda, sa harap ng Araba, nguni't hindi niya talastas na may bakay laban sa kaniya sa likuran ng bayan.
15 Joshua and all Israel let themselves be defeated before them, and they fled toward the wilderness.
At ginawa ni Josue at ng buong Israel na parang sila'y nadaig sa harap nila, at tumakas sa daan na ilang.
16 All the people who were in the city were called together to go after them, and they went after Joshua and they were drawn away from the city.
At ang lahat ng mga tao na nasa bayan ay pinisan upang humabol sa kanila: at kanilang hinabol si Josue, at nangalayo sa bayan.
17 There was not a man left in Ai and Bethel who had not gone out to pursue Israel. They abandoned the city and left it open as they pursued Israel.
At walang lalake na naiwan sa Hai o sa Beth-el, na hindi humabol sa Israel: at kanilang iniwang bukas ang bayan, at hinabol ang Israel.
18 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Point that spear in your hand toward Ai, for I will give Ai into your hand.” Joshua held out the spear that was in his hand toward the city.
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, Iunat mo ang sibat na nasa iyong kamay sa dakong Hai; sapagka't aking ibibigay sa iyong kamay. At iniunat ni Josue ang sibat na nasa kaniyang kamay sa dakong bayan.
19 The soldiers hiding in ambush quickly rushed out of their place as he reached out with his hand. They ran and entered the city and captured it. They quickly set the city on fire.
At ang bakay ay bumangong bigla sa kanilang dako, at sila'y tumakbo pagkaunat niya ng kaniyang kamay, at pumasok sa bayan at sinakop at sila'y nagmadali at sinilaban ang bayan.
20 The men of Ai turned and looked back. They saw the smoke from the city rising into the sky, and they could not escape this way or that. For the Israelite soldiers who had fled into the wilderness now turned back to face those who were pursuing them.
At nang lumingon ang mga lalake sa Hai sa likuran nila, ay kanilang nakita, at, narito, ang usok ng bayan ay napaiilanglang sa langit, at wala silang kapangyarihan na makatakas sa daang ito o sa daang yaon: at ang bayan na tumakas sa ilang ay pumihit sa mga manghahabol.
21 When Joshua and all Israel saw the ambush had captured the city with the smoke rising, they turned around and killed the men of Ai.
At nang makita ni Josue at ng buong Israel na nasakop ng bakay ang bayan at ang usok ng bayan ay napaiilanglang, ay nagsibalik nga uli sila at pinatay ang mga lalake sa Hai.
22 The other soldiers of Israel, those who had gone in the city, came out to attack them. So the men of Ai were caught between the armies of Israel, some on this side and some on that side. Israel attacked the men of Ai; none of them survived or escaped.
At ang iba'y lumabas sa bayan laban sa kanila, na anopa't sila'y nasa gitna ng Israel, na ang iba'y sa dakong ito, at ang iba'y sa dakong yaon: at sinaktan nila sila, na anopa't wala silang iniwan sa kanila na nalabi o nakatanan.
23 They kept the king of Ai, whom they captured alive, and they brought him to Joshua.
At ang hari sa Hai ay hinuli nilang buhay, at dinala nila siya kay Josue.
24 It came about when Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field near the wilderness where they pursued them, and when all of them, to the very last one, had fallen by the edge of the sword, all Israel returned to Ai. They attacked it with the edge of the sword.
At nangyari, nang matapos ng Israel na mapatay sa parang ang lahat ng mga taga Hai, sa ilang na kanilang pinaghabulan sa kanila, at mangabuwal sa pamamagitan ng talim ng tabak, hanggang sa nalipol nila sila, ay bumalik ang buong Israel sa Hai, at sinugatan ng talim ng tabak.
25 All those who fell that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai.
At ang lahat na nabuwal ng araw na yaon, lalake at gayon din ang babae ay labing dalawang libo, lahat ng mga tao sa Hai.
26 Joshua did not draw back his hand with which he had reached out while holding his spear, until he had completely destroyed all the people of Ai.
Sapagka't hindi iniurong ni Josue ang kaniyang kamay na kaniyang ipinag-unat ng sibat hanggang sa kaniyang nalipol na lubos ang lahat ng mga taga Hai.
27 Israel took only the livestock and the plunder from the city for themselves, just as Yahweh had commanded Joshua.
Ang hayop lamang at ang samsam sa bayan na yaon ang kinuha ng Israel na pinakasamsam, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon na kaniyang iniutos kay Josue.
28 Joshua burned Ai and turned it into a heap of ruins forever. It is an abandoned place to this day.
Gayon sinunog ni Josue ang Hai, at pinapaging isang bunton magpakailan man na isang kagibaan, hanggang sa araw na ito.
29 He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening. When the sun was going down, Joshua gave the command and they took the king's body down from the tree and threw it in front of the city gates. There they set up a great heap of stones on top of it. That heap remains there to this day.
At ibinitin niya ang hari sa Hai sa isang punong kahoy hanggang sa kinahapunan: at sa paglubog ng araw ay iniutos ni Josue, at ibinaba nila ang kaniyang bangkay sa punong kahoy at inihagis sa pasukan ng pintuan ng bayan, at binuntunan ng malaking bunton ng mga bato, hanggang sa araw na ito.
30 Then Joshua built an altar to Yahweh, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
Nang magkagayo'y ipinagtayo ni Josue ng isang dambana ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, sa bundok ng Ebal,
31 just as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded the people of Israel, as it was written in the Book of the Law of Moses: “An altar from uncut stones, on which no one has wielded an iron tool.” He offered on the altar burnt offerings to Yahweh, and they sacrificed peace offerings.
Gaya ng iniutos ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon, sa mga anak ni Israel, gaya ng nakasulat sa aklat ng kautusan ni Moises, na isang dambana na hindi hinitsurahang mga bato, na hindi pinagbuhatan ng sinomang tao ng bakal: at kanilang pinaghandugan sa Panginoon ng mga handog na susunugin, at pinaghainan ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan.
32 There, in the presence of the people of Israel, he wrote on the stones a copy of the law of Moses.
At siya'y sumulat doon sa mga bato ng isang salin ng kautusan ni Moises na kaniyang sinulat, sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel.
33 All Israel, their elders, officers, and their judges stood on both sides of the ark before the priests and Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh—the foreigner as well as the native born—half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim and the other half stood in front of Mount Ebal. They blessed the people of Israel, just as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded them at first.
At ang buong Israel, at ang kanilang mga matanda at mga pinuno at ang kanilang mga hukom, ay tumayo sa dakong ito ng kaban at sa dakong yaon sa harap ng mga saserdote na mga Levita, na nagdadala ng kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon ang mga taga ibang lupa na gaya rin ng mga taga-roon; kalahati nila ay sa harap ng bundok ng Gerizim at kalahati nila ay sa harap ng bundok ng Ebal; gaya ng iniutos ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon, na kanilang basbasan muna ang bayan ng Israel.
34 Afterward, Joshua read all the words of the law, the blessings and the curses, just as they had been written in the book of the law.
At pagkatapos ay kaniyang binasa ang lahat ng mga salita ng kautusan, ang pagpapala at ang sumpa, ayon sa lahat na nakasulat sa aklat ng kautusan.
35 There was not one word from all that Moses commanded that Joshua did not read in front of the assembly of Israel, including the women, the little children, and the foreigners who lived among them.
Walang salita sa lahat na iniutos ni Moises na hindi binasa ni Josue sa harap ng buong kapulungan ng Israel at ng mga babae, at ng mga bata, at ng mga taga ibang lupa na nakikipamayan sa kanila.
