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.
Then said Yahweh unto Joshua—Do not fear nor be dismayed, take with thee all the army, 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.
so shalt thou do unto Ai and to her king, as thou didst unto Jericho unto her king, save only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof, shall ye take as your own prey, —set 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 to Ai, —and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valour, and sent them forth 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—See! ye, shall be lying in ambush against the city, behind the city, do not go very far from the city, —so shall ye all be 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,
But, I, and all the people who are with me, will draw near unto the city, —and it shall be, when they come out to meet us, as at the first, then will we 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.
so will they come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, Fleeing before us, as at the first! therefore will we 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 out of the ambush, and take possession of the city, —and Yahweh 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 seized the city, then shall ye burn the city with fire, according to the word of Yahweh, 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.
So Joshua sent them forth, and they went into ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai, —but Joshua lodged that night in the midst of 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 mustered 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 of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came in, right before the city, —and pitched on the north of Ai, with, 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 in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west 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 the people had set all the host that was on the north of the city, with the rear thereof on the west of the city, then went Joshua, during the 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 came out to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people, at an appointed time, before the waste plain, —he not knowing that there was an ambush lying in wait for 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.
So then Joshua and all Israel suffered themselves to be smitten 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 who were in the city were called out to pursue them, —and they pursued Joshua, and so were drawn out 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 remained not a man, in Ai or Bethel, who had not gone out after Israel, —and they left the city, open, and pursued 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Joshua—Stretch out with the javelin which is in thy hand, towards Ai, for, into thy hand, will I deliver it. So Joshua stretched out with the javelin which was in his hand, towards 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, rose up quickly, out of their place, and ran, when he stretched out his hand, and entered the city, and captured 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 the men of Ai turned behind them, and looked, and lo! the smoke of the city had risen up towards the heavens, and there was in them no strength, to flee this way or that way, —moreover, the people that were fleeing 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.
Yea, when, Joshua and all Israel, saw that the ambush had captured the city, and that the smoke of the city had risen up, then returned they, and smote 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 others, came forth out of the city to meet them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side, —and they smote them, until there was left them none to remain or to 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 caught alive, —and brought him near unto 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 whither they had pursued them, and all of them had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, then all Israel returned to 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 who fell that day, both of men and of women, were twelve thousand, —all people 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.
Now, Joshua, drew not back his hand which he had stretched out with the javelin, —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.
Nevertheless, the cattle and the spoil of that city, Israel took as their own prey, —according to the word of Yahweh, 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.
So then Joshua burned Ai, —and made of it an age-abiding heap—a desolation, [as it remaineth] until 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, hanged he on a tree until eventide, —but, at the going in of the sun, Joshua gave command and they took down his dead body from the tree, and cast it in at the opening of the gate of the city, and raised up over it a great heap of stones—[which remaineth] until this day.
30 Alaila, hana iho la o Iosua i kuahu no Iehova, no ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ma ka mauna ma Ebala,
Than, built Joshua, an altar, unto Yahweh, 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 Yahweh, commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the scroll of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, whereon had not been wielded any tool of iron, —and they caused to go up thereon, ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, 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.
Then wrote he there, upon the stones, a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the sons 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, were standing on this side and on that side of the ark, before the priests the Levites, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, as well the sojourner as the home-born, half of them over against Mount Gerizim, and half of them over against Mount Ebal, —as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded to bless the sons of Israel, first of all.
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, after that, read he all the words of the law, the blessing and the cursing, —according to all that was written in the scroll 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.
Them was not a word of all that Moses commanded, —which Joshua read not before all the convocation of Israel, with the women and the little ones, and the sojourner who was going on in their midst.
