Joshua 8
1 And the LORD said to 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:
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Nimet kom sangeng ku sensen. Fahla ac us mwet mweun lom nukewa utyak nu Ai. Nga fah oru tuh kom fah kutangla tokosra lun Ai ac nga fah usot facl sac ac ma nukewa we tuh in ma lowos.
2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king, as thou didst to Jericho and her king: only its spoil, and its cattle, shall ye take for a prey to yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
Ma nukewa kom tuh oru in acn Jericho ac nu sin tokosra we kom in oru oapana in acn Ai ac nu sin tokosra we. Tusruktu, ma lalos nukewa wi kosro natulos kowos ku in eis lowos. Akola kowos in mweunelos in lukma, tukun siti ah yak.”
3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night.
Ouinge Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos akola in mweuni mwet Ai. El sulela tausin tolngoul mwet pisrla ke mweun ac supwalosla ke fong,
4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, [even] behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos som ac wikwik akngusrikya tukun siti ah, ac tupan pacl in mweun. Nimet som loesla liki siti ah.
5 And I, and all the people that [are] with me, will approach to the city: and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
Nga ac mwet mweun lula uh ac fah kalukyang nu ke mutunpot in siti uh. Ke pacl se ma mwet Ai elos ac ilme in lain kut oana elos oru meet ah, na kut fah forla ac kaingkunulos.
6 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.
Elos fah ukwe kut nwe ke na kut pwanulosla loes liki siti sac. Elos ac nunku mu kut kaingkunulos oana kut tuh kaingkunulos meet ah.
7 Then ye shall rise from the ambush and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand,
Na kowos fah tuyak liki acn kowos wikwik we, ac utyak ac sruokya siti sac. LEUM GOD lowos el ac fah sot nu inpouwos.
8 And it shall be when ye have taken the city, [that] ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
Tukun kowos sruokya siti sac, kowos esukak, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin. Pa ingan sap ku kowos in fahsr kac.”
9 Joshua therefore sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
Ouinge Joshua el supwalosla, ac elos som nu yen elos ac wikwik we inmasrlon acn Bethel ac Ai, layen roto in Ai. Ac Joshua el mutana in lohm sin mwet mweun in fong sac.
10 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Toang na ke lotu tok ah, Joshua el tukakek ac pangon mwet mweun ah nu sie. Na el ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel kololosla nu Ai.
11 And all the people, [even the people] 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 them and Ai.
Na mwet mweun ma welul ah elos kalukyang apkuran nu ke mutunpot lun siti sac ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos layen nu eir in Ai, ac oasr sie infahlfal inmasrlolos ac Ai.
12 And he took about five thousand men; and set them to lie in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city.
El eis apkuran in mwet tausin limekosr ac sap elos in wikla inmasrlon Bethel ac Ai, layen roto in Ai.
13 And when they had set the people, [even] all the host that [was] on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
Na mwet mweun elos akola nu ke mweun. Pusiyen mwet uh elos muta eir, ac mwet lula ah elos muta roto. Ac Joshua el mongla in fong sac infahlfal sac.
14 And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw [it], that they hasted and rose early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain: but he knew not that [there were] liers in ambush against him behind the city.
Ke tokosra Ai el liye mwet mweun lal Joshua, el sa in mukuila. El ac mwet lal nukewa fahla suiya Infahlfal Jordan in mweuni mwet Israel, acn se na ma elos tuh mweun we meet ah. Ac el tia etu lah oasr pac mwet mweun akola in tuku tokolos ac lainulos.
15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos oru acnu mu elos kaingkunulos ac elos kaing nu yen mwesis.
16 And all the people that [were] in Ai were called together to pursue them: and they pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Suliyuk mwet nukewa in siti sac in tuku ac ukwe mwet lal Joshua, ac ke elos ukwal Joshua, elos loeselik liki siti sac.
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 Israel.
Mwet Ai nukewa elos som ukwe mwet Israel, ac mutunpot in siti sac ikakelik na ac wangin mwet lula in karingin.
18 And the LORD said to Joshua, Stretch out the spear that [is] in thy hand towards Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that [he had] in his hand towards the city.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Kolla osra soko inpoum an nu Ai, tuh nga ac sot siti sac nu sum.” Na Joshua el oru oana ke fwack nu sel.
19 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted, and set the city on fire.
Ke pacl se na ma el kolla osra soko ah, na mwet ma wikwik likin siti ah elos sulaklak na tuyak ac kasrusr nu ke siti sac. Elos utyak sruokya siti sac ac esukak.
20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended 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.
Ke mwet Ai elos tapulla elos liye lah fosryak siti ah. Tusruktu, wangin acn elos ku in kaingla nu we mweyen mwet Israel su kaing nu yen mwesis ah elos forla ac lainulos.
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.
Ke Joshua ac mwet lal ah liye lah mwet wialos ah eisla ac esukak siti sac, elos forla ac mutawauk in uni mwet Ai ah.
22 And the other issued 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.
Na mwet Israel ma esukak siti sac elos tufoki ac wi mweuni mwet Ai. Elos raunelosla ac onelosla ac wangin sie selos moulla ku kaingla,
23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
sayen tokosra Ai. Sruhu el ac utukla nu yorol Joshua.
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 in which they chased them, and when they had all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
Ke mwet Israel elos onela kewa mwet Ai ah yen mwesis ma elos ukwalosla nu we ah, na elos folokla nu in siti lun mwet Ai ac onela mwet nukewa ma lula we.
25 And [so] it was, [that] all that fell that day, both of men and women, [were] twelve thousand, [even] all the men of Ai.
Pisen mwet Ai, mukul ac mutan, pa singoul luo tausin, ac elos nukewa anwuki in len sac.
26 For Joshua drew not his hand back with which he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Joshua el kolla na osra soko inpaol ah nwe ke na mwet nukewa in Ai anwukla.
27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey to themselves, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.
Mwet Israel elos eis kosro ac ma nukewa lun mwet Ai tuh in ma lalos, in oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel Joshua.
28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap for ever, [even] a desolation to this day.
Ouinge Joshua el esukak acn Ai ac wanginla ma fac nwe misenge.
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcass down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise upon it a great heap of stones, [that remaineth] to this day.
Joshua el unilya tokosra lun acn Ai ac srupsrulak ke sak soko, na el sripsrip we nwe ke na ekela. Ke faht ah tili, Joshua el sap elos eisya manol ac sisya mutunpot in siti uh. Ac elos elosak yol in eot se nu facl, su oanna nwe misenge.
30 Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,
Na Joshua el etoak sie loang Fineol Ebal nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
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 whole stones, over which no man hath lifted up [any] iron: and they offered upon it burnt-offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
El orala oana Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sapkin nu sin mwet Israel. El oru fal nu ke lumah ma aketeyuki in book in Ma Sap lal Moses — “sie loang orekla ke eot ma tia akfwelyeyuk ke kutena osra.” Elos orekmakin loang se inge nu ke mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo lalos nu sin LEUM GOD.
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.
Joshua el simusla ma sap fin eot ah ye mutun mwet nukewa, in oana ke Moses el tuh simusla meet ah.
33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark, and on that side, before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
Mwet kol, mwet matu, mwet nununku, ac mwet Israel nukewa, wi mwetsac su muta inmasrlolos, elos takla tu sisken Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD. Tafu selos tu pe Fineol Gerizim ac tafu selos tu pe Fineol Ebal, ac ngetani nu yurin mwet tol Levi su us Tuptup sac inmasrlolos, oana ke Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sap elos in oru ke pacl in eis mwe insewowo.
34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
Tukun ma inge Joshua el riteak nukewa kas in Ma Sap ah, kas in akinsewowo ac kas in selnga, oana ke simla in book in Ma Sap.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
Ma sap nukewa lal Moses Joshua el riteak nu sin mwet nukewa su tukeni ah, weang pacna mutan ac tulik ac mwetsac su muta inmasrlolos.
