Joshua 8
1 The LORD said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed. Take all the warriors with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, with his people, his city, and his land.
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Ha cabsan, hana qalbi jabin. Ragga dagaalyahannada ah oo dhan kaxayso, oo kac oo waxaad tagtaa xagga Aacii, oo bal eeg, adigaan gacanta ku geliyey boqorka Aacii, iyo dadkiisa, iyo magaaladiisa, iyo dalkiisaba;
2 You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king, except you shall take its goods and its livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it.”
oo Aacii iyo boqorkeedaba waxaad ku samaysaa wixii aad ku samaysay Yerixoo iyo boqorkeedii; alaabteeda iyo xoolaheedase waa inaad dhacdaan oo qaadataan. Oo magaalada xagga dambe ka gaad.
3 So Joshua arose, with all the warriors, to go up to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them out by night.
Sidaas daraaddeed Yashuuca waa kacay, isagii iyo raggii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhammu, si ay Aacii u tagaan, oo Yashuuca wuxuu dooray soddon kun oo nin oo ah rag xoog leh, oo wuxuu diray goor habeennimo ah.
4 He commanded them, saying, “Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Don’t go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.
Oo wuxuu ku amray oo ku yidhi, Bal maqla, waxaad gaaddaan magaalada xaggeeda dambe, oo ha ka fogaanina magaalada, laakiinse kulligiin diyaar ahaada;
5 I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. It shall happen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.
oo aniga iyo dadka ila jira oo dhammuba waxaannu u dhowaan doonnaa magaalada, oo markay dibadda noogu soo baxaan sida kolkii ugu horraysay, waannu ka carari doonnaa hortooda.
6 They will come out after us until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, ‘They flee before us, like the first time.’ So we will flee before them,
Markaasay na soo eryan doonaan ilaa aannu iyaga magaalada ka fogayno; waayo, waxay is-odhan doonaan, Sidii markii ugu horraysay bay naga cararayaan, oo sidaasaannu uga hor carari doonnaa iyaga.
7 and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
Oo markaas waa inaad gaadmada ka timaadaan, oo aad magaalada qabsataan, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa gacanta idiin gelin doona iyada.
8 It shall be, when you have seized the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do this according to the LORD’s word. Behold, I have commanded you.”
Oo markii aad magaalada qabsataan, waa inaad dab qabadsiisaan magaalada, oo waxaad yeeshaan si waafaqsan ereyga Rabbiga; bal eega, sidaasaan idinku amraye.
9 Joshua sent them out; and they went to set up the ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai on the west side of Ai; but Joshua stayed among the people that night.
Markaasaa Yashuuca iyagii diray; oo waxay tageen meeshii gaadmada, oo waxay joogeen meel u dhaxaysa Beytel iyo Aacii, oo galbeed ka xigta Aacii; laakiinse habeenkaas Yashuuca dadkii buu ku dhex baryay.
10 Joshua rose up early in the morning, mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Kolkaasaa Yashuuca aroor hore kacay, oo dadkii isu ururiyey, oo isagii iyo waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil waxay dadkii u hor kaceen xaggii Aacii.
11 All the people, even the men of war who were with him, went up and came near, and came before the city and encamped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.
Oo dadkii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhan oo ah kuwii isaga la jiray way wada tageen oo intay soo dhowaadeen ayay magaaladii hor yimaadeen, oo waxay degeen dhinaca woqooyi oo Aacii; oo dooxo baa u dhexaysay isaga iyo Aacii.
12 He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
Markaasuu wuxuu kaxaystay rag shan kun ku dhow, oo wuxuu gaadmo u diray meel u dhexaysa Beytel iyo Aacii, oo magaalada ka xigta xagga galbeed.
13 So they set the people, even all the army who was on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the middle of the valley.
Markaasay diyaariyeen dadkii oo dhan, xataa ciidankii magaalada xagga woqooyi ka xigay oo dhan, iyo kuwoodii gaadmada ugu qarsoonaa magaalada xaggeeda galbeed, oo Yashuucana habeenkaas wuxuu dhaxay dooxadii dhexdeeda.
14 When the king of Ai saw it, they hurried 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 didn’t know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
Oo markii boqorkii Aacii taas arkay, ayay isaga iyo dadkiisa oo dhammu aroor hore keceen oo dhaqsadeen, oo markaasay dadkii magaaladu dagaal ugu bexeen reer binu Israa'iil wakhtigii la yidhi, oo waxay wada tageen meel ka horraysa Caraabaah, laakiinse ma uu ogayn in rag gaadmo ugu qarsoon yahay magaalada dabadeeda.
15 Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Markaasaa Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay iska dhigeen sidii iyagoo laga adkaaday, oo waxay ku carareen xaggii jidka cidlada.
16 All the people who were in the city were called together to pursue after them. They pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Markaasaa dadkii magaalada joogay oo dhan waxaa loogu wada yeedhay inay eryadaan reer binu Israa'iil, oo intay Yashuuca eryanayeen ayaa iyagii laga fogeeyey magaaladii.
17 There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who didn’t go out after Israel. They left the city open, and pursued Israel.
Oo nin keliyahu kuma hadhin Aacii iyo Beytel toona, oo aan daba gelin reer binu Israa'iil; oo magaaladii oo furan bay ka tageen, oo waxay eryadeen reer binu Israa'iil.
18 The LORD said to Joshua, “Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand.” Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Waranka gacantaada ku jira xagga Aacii ku taag, waayo, adigaan gacanta kuu gelin doonaa Aacii. Markaasaa Yashuuca warankii gacantiisa ku jiray wuxuu ku taagay xaggii magaalada.
19 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. They hurried and set the city on fire.
Markaasaa haddiiba raggii gaadmada u qarsoonaa ka soo bexeen meeshoodii ay ku jireen, oo markuu gacanta taagay ayay haddiiba soo ordeen, oo waxay galeen magaaladii, wayna qabsadeen; oo intay dhaqsadeen ayay magaaladii dab qabadsiiyeen.
20 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. The people who fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.
Oo dadkii reer Aacii markay dib u eegeen ayay waxay arkeen qiiqii magaalada oo samada kor ugu baxaya, oo mana ay lahayn xoog ay ugu cararaan xaggan ama xaggaa; oo dadkii u cararay xagga cidlada waxay dib ugu soo jeesteen raacdadii daba joogtay.
21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned back and killed the men of Ai.
Oo markii Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu arkeen in raggii gaadmada ahaa ay magaaladii qabsadeen, iyo in magaalada qiiqeedii kor u baxay, ayay dib u soo noqdeen, oo waxay laayeen dadkii reer Aacii.
22 The others came out of the city against them, so they were in the middle of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side. They struck them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
Oo kuwii kalena waxay iyaga kaga soo bexeen magaaladii, sidaas daraaddeed waxay ku dhex jireen reer binu Israa'iil, iyadoo qaarna dhinacan ka xigo, qaarna dhinacaas ka xigo; oo way wada laayeen, oo midna kama reebin, qofna kama baxsan.
23 They captured the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Oo boqorkii Aacii isagoo nool bay qabteen, oo waxay u keeneen Yashuuca.
24 When Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.
Oo markii reer binu Israa'iil dhammeeyeen oo ay dadkii Aacii degganaan jiray ku wada laayeen duurkii, iyo cidladii ay u eryadeen, oo ay seef ku wada le'deen ilaa ay wada baabbe'een, ayaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku soo noqdeen Aacii xaggeedii, oo waxay ku laayeen seef.
25 All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the people of Ai.
Oo intii maalintaas le'atay rag iyo dumarba waxay ahaayeen laba iyo toban kun, oo intaasuna waxay ahayd dadkii reer Aacii oo dhan.
26 For Joshua didn’t draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Waayo, Yashuuca gacantii uu waranka ku taagay dib uma celin ilaa uu wada baabbi'iyey dadkii Aacii degganaa oo dhan.
27 Israel took for themselves only the livestock and the goods of that city, according to the LORD’s word which he commanded Joshua.
Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay keliyahoo dheceen xoolihii iyo alaabtii magaalada, sidii erayga Rabbiga uu Yashuuca ku amray ahaa.
28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.
Sidaasaa Yashuuca u gubay Aacii, oo wuxuu ka dhigay tuulmo cidla weligeed ah ilaa maantadan la joogo.
29 He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until the evening. At sundown, Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree and threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised a great heap of stones on it that remains to this day.
Oo boqorkii Aaciina geed buu ka soo deldelay, oo wuxuu sudhnaa ilaa makhribkii, oo qorraxdhicii ayaa Yashuuca amray, markaasay meydkiisii geedkii ka soo dejiyeen, oo waxay ku tuureen iridda magaalada laga soo galo, oo waxay ku tuuleen dhagaxyo badan oo jira ilaa maantadan.
30 Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil Buur Ceebaal uga dhisay meel allabari,
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 uncut stones, on which no one had lifted up any iron. They offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD and sacrificed peace offerings.
sidii addoonkii Rabbiga oo Muuse ahaa reer binu Israa'iil ugu amray, iyo sida ku qoran kitaabkii sharciga Muuse, oo waxay ahayd meel allabari oo ah dhagaxyo aan la qorin oo aan ninna bir u qaadin; oo waxay Rabbiga ugu kor bixiyeen qurbaanno la gubo, iyo qurbaanno nabaadiino.
32 He wrote there on the stones a copy of Moses’ law, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
Oo wuxuu dhagaxyadii ku qoray naqil sharcigii Muuse ah oo uu ku qoray reer binu Israa'iil hortooda.
33 All Israel, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of the LORD’s covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; 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 at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
Oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan iyo waayeelladoodii, iyo saraakiishoodii, iyo xaakinnadoodiiba, waxay istaageen sanduuqii dhankiisa shishe iyo dhankiisa soke oo ka horreeya wadaaddada reer Laawi oo siday sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga, qariibka iyo kii waddanka ku dhashayba, oo badhkood wuxuu is-hor taagay Buur Gerisiim, badhkoodii kalena wuxuu is-hor taagay Buur Ceebaal sidii addoonkii Rabbiga oo Muuse ahaa ku amray inay marka hore u duceeyaan reer binu Israa'iil.
34 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.
Oo dabadeedna wuxuu akhriyey erayadii sharciga oo dhan, ducadii iyo habaarkiiba, siday ahaayeen wixii ku qornaa kitaabkii sharciga oo dhan.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded which Joshua didn’t read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who were among them.
Oo ma jirin eray Muuse amray oo aan Yashuuca ku hor akhriyin shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo dumarkii, iyo dhallaankii, iyo kuwii qariibka ahaa oo iyaga dhex socdayba.
