Iosua 8
1 OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, Mai makau oe, aole hoi e weliweli. E lawe pu oe i na kanaka kaua a pau me oe, a e ku iluna, a e pii aku ia Ai. E nana hoi, ua haawi aku au iloko o kou lima, i ke alii o Ai a me kona kanaka a me kona kulanakauhale, a me kona aina.
AND the Lord said unto 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:
2 A e hana oe ia Ai, a me kona alii, me oe i hana'i ia Ieriko a me kona alii. Aka, o ko laila waiwai pio, a me ko laila bipi, e lawe ia mau mea i waiwai pio no oukou. E hoomoe oe i kou poe hoohalua ma ke kua o ua kulanakauhale la.
And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
3 Ku ae la o Iosua a me na kanaka kaua a pau e pii aku i Ai. Wae mai la o Iosua i kanakolu tausani kanaka, he poe koa loa, a hoouna ia lakou i ka po.
So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.
4 Kauoha aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, Aia hoi, e hoohalua oukou i kela kulanakauhale, ma ke kua o ke kulanakauhale, mai hele i kahi loihi e aku o ua kulanakauhale la, e noho makaukau hoi oukou a pau.
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:
5 A owau a me na kanaka a pau pu me au, e hookokoke aku makou i ke kulanakauhale; a hiki i ka wa e puka mai ai lakou iwaho, e hoouka e like me ka wa mamua, a e hee makou imua o lakou,
And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
6 (E puka mai no lakou iwaho, mahope o makou, ) a e kai mai no makou ia lakou, ma kahi loihi loa mai o ia kulanakauhale; no ka mea, e olelo auanei lakou, Ua hee lakou imua o kakou e like mamua; a e hee no makou imua o lakou.
(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.
7 Alaila, e ku mai oukou, mai kahi a oukou i hoohalua ai, a e lawe i ua kulanakauhale la. Ua haawi mai no o Iehova ia wahi iloko o ko oukou lima.
Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the Lord your God will deliver it into your hand.
8 A loaa ia oukou ua kulanakauhale la, alaila, e puhi i na hale i ke ahi. E like me ka olelo a Iehova, pela oukou e hana'i. E nana hoi, ua kauoha aku au ia oukou.
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.
9 Alaila, hoouna aku la o Iosua ia lakou, a hele aku la lakou e hoohalua; a noho lakou mawaena o Betela a me Ai, ma ke komohana o Ai. Ia po, moe pu iho la o Iosua me na kanaka.
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.
10 Ala mai la o Iosua i ke kakahiaka, a helu iho la i na kanaka, a pii aku la oia a me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, imua o na kanaka i Ai.
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
11 Pii pu aku la me ia kona poe a pau i makaukau i ke kaua, a neenee aku la, a hiki ma ke alo o ia kulanakauhale, a hoomoana iho la ma ka aoao akau o Ai. He awawa hoi mawaena o lakou a me Ai.
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.
12 Lawe ae la oia i elima paha tausani kanaka, a hoonoho iho la ia lakou e hoohalua mawaena o Betela a me Ai, ma ke komohana o ke kulanakauhale.
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.
13 Hoonoho iho la lakou i kanaka, o ka poe a pau, ma ka aoao akau o ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe hope, ma ke komohana o ke kulanakauhale, alaila, i kela po no, iho aku la o Iosua ilalo o ke awawa.
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.
14 A ike mai la ke alii o Ai, wikiwiki ae la lakou, a ala koke iho la, a puka mai la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale iwaho e kaua me ka Iseraela, oia a me kona kanaka a pau, ma kahi i olelo mua ia, ma ke kula; aole hoi i ike he poe hoohalua kekahi, ma ke kua o ke kulanakauhale.
And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up 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 wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
15 Hana iho la o Iosua a me ka Iseraela me he poe hee la imua o lakou, a holo aku la ma ke ala e hiki aku ai i ka waonahele.
And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
16 Hoakoakoa mai la na kanaka a pau o Ai e hahai ia lakou, a hahai no lakou ia Iosua, a kaiia'ku la lakou, mao aku o ke kulanakauhale.
And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
17 Aole i koe kekahi kanaka ma Ai, a me Betela, i hahai ole aku i ka Iseraela. Waiho hamama wale lakou i ke kulanakauhale, a hahai aku la i ka Iseraela.
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 after Israel.
18 I mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, E o aku oe i ka ihe ma kou lima ia Ai, a na'u no e haawi aku ia wahi iloko o kou lima. O aku la no o Iosua i kana ihe, ma kona lima i ke kulanakauhale.
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
19 Ku koke mai la ka poe hoohalua, mai ko lakou wahi mai, a i ka o ana aku o kona lima, holo kiki aku la a komo iloko o ke kulanakauhale, hoopio iho la, a wikiwiki a puhi aku la i ke kanhale i ke ahi.
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.
20 Alawa ae la na kanaka o Ai, a nana aku la mahope o lakou, aia hoi! punohu aku la i ka lani ka uwahi o ia kulanakauhale; aole o lakou wahi e pee aku ai, io, a io ae. A o ka poe e pee ana ma ka waonahele, huli mai la lakou e alo i ka poe hahai.
And 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: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
21 A ike aku la o Iosua, a me ka Iseraela a pau, ua pio ke kulanakauhale i ka poe hoohalua, a ua punohu aku la ka uwahi o ke kulanakauhale, alaila huli hou lakou a luku aku la i kanaka no Ai.
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.
22 A puka mai la hoi kela poe, mailoko mai o ke kulanakauhale, e alo ia lakou, nolaila ua puni lakou i ka Iseraela ma kela aoao kekahi poe a ma keia aoao kekahi poe. A luku aku la o Iosua ma ia lakou, aole i waiho aku i kekahi o lakou e holo a pakele aku.
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.
23 A loaa ola ia lakou ke alii o Ai, a kai mai la lakou ia ia io Iosua la.
And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
24 A pau ae la na kanaka o Ai i ka lukuia e ka Iseraela ma ke kula, a ma ka waonahele, ma kahi a lakou i hahai aku ai. A haule iho la lakou a pau i ka maka o ka pahikaua a make. Alaila, hoi aku la ka Iseraela a pau i Ai, a luku aku la, me ka maka o ka pahikaua.
And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
25 A o ka poe a pau i haule ia la, o ua kane a me na wahine, he umikumamalua tausani o lakou, o na kanaka hoi a pau o Ai.
And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
26 Aole i hoihoi mai o Iosua i kona lima, ana i o aku ai me ka ihe, a pau na kanaka o Ai i ka lukuia e ia.
For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
27 Aka o na holoholona, a me ka waiwai pio o ia kulanakauhale, oia ka Iseraela mea i lawe, i waiwai pio no lakou, e like me ka olelo a Iehova, ana i kauoha mai ai ia Iosua.
Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the Lord which he commanded Joshua.
28 Puhi iho la o Iosua ia Ai, a hoolilo iho la ia wahi i puu mau loa, i wahi olohelohe wale, a hiki mai i keia la.
And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
29 Kaawe no hoi ia i ke alii o Ai ma ka laau a hiki i ke ahiahi; a napoo ka la, kauoha ae la o Iosua e kuu i kona kupapau mailuna mai o ka laau, a e kiola ma ka ipuka e komo aku ai i ke kulanakauhale; a hoahu iho la lakou i ahu pohaku nui, a hiki mai i neia la.
And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.
30 Alaila, hana iho la o Iosua i kuahu no Iehova, no ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ma ka mauna ma Ebala,
Then Joshua built an altar unto the Lord God of Israel in mount Ebal,
31 E like me ka Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova i kauoha mai ai i na mamo a Iseraela, e like hoi me ka mea i palapalaia iloko o ka buke o ke kanawai o Mose, he kuahu pohaku i kalai ole ia; aole hoi i kauia ka hao maluna iho. Kaumaha aku la lakou maluna iho i na mohaikuni ia Iehova, a kalua iho la i na mohaihoomalu.
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 lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
32 Palapala hou iho la ia malaila, ma na pohaku, i ke kanawai a Mose, ana i palapala ai imua i ke alo o na mamo a Iseraela.
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.
33 Ku mai la ka Iseraela a pau, a me na lunakahiko, a me na'lii, a me na lunakanawai o lakou, ma keia aoao a ma kela aoao o ka pahu, imua o ke alo o na kahuna o na mamo a Levi, ka poe i lawe i ka pahuberita o Iehova, o ka malihini a me ke keikipapa: o ka hapalua o lakou ma ke alo o ka mauna o Gerizima, a o ka hapalua ma ke alo o ka mauna o Ebala; e like me ke kauoha mua ana mai a Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova, e hoomaikai lakou i kanaka o ka Iseraela.
And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare 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.
34 A mahope iho, heluhelu iho la ia i ka olelo a pau o ke kanawai, o ka hoomaikai ana a me ka hoino ana, e like me na mea a pau i palapalaia ma ka buke o ke kanawai.
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.
35 Aole i koe kekahi o na olelo a pau, a Mose i kauoha mai ai; ua pau i ka heluheluia e Iosua, imua o ke anaina a pau o ka Iseraela, a me na wahine pu, a me na kamalii, a me na malihini, i hele pu me lakou.
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.
