Josue 8
1 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Josue, “Saanka nga agbuteng; saanka a maupay. Ikuyogmo dagiti amin a tattao a mannakigubat. Sumang-atkayo idiay Ai. Kitaem, intedkon iti imam ti ari ti Ai, dagiti tattaona, ti siudadna ken ti dagana.
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.
2 Aramidemto iti Ai ken iti ari daytoy ti kas iti inaramidmo iti Jerico ken iti ari daytoy, malaksid iti panangalayonto iti sinamsam ken kadagiti taraken nga agpaay kadakayo. Agsaganakayo iti panangsaneb iti likudan ti siudad.”
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.”
3 Timmakder ngarud ni Josue ket inkuyogna dagiti amin a lallaki a mannakigubat a sumang-at idiay Ai. Ket nangpili ni Josue iti tallo pulo a ribu a lallaki- napigsa, natutured a lallaki- ket imbaonna ida iti rabii.
So Joshua arose, with all the warriors, to go up to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valour, and sent them out by night.
4 Imbilinna kadakuada, “Kitaenyo, agsanebkayonto a maibusor iti siudad, iti likudan daytoy. Saankayo nga umadayo unay iti siudad, ngem agsaganakayo amin.
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.
5 Umasidegakto ken dagiti amin a lallaki a kakuyogko iti siudad. Ket inton rummuarda a mangraut kadakami, itarayanminto ida a kas idi damo.
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.
6 Surotendakaminto agingga a maiyadayomi ida manipud iti siudad. Kunaendanto, 'Itartarayandatayo a kas iti inaramidda idi damo.' Isu nga itarayanminto ida.
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,
7 Ket rummuarkayonto iti paglemlemmenganyo, ket sakupenyonto ti siudad. Itedto daytoy ni Yahweh a Diosyo iti imayo.
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.
8 Inton masakupyo ti siudad, puoranyonto daytoy. Aramidenyo daytoy inton agtulnogkayo iti bilin a naited iti sao ni Yahweh. Kitenyo, binilinkayo.”
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.”
9 Imbaon ida ni Josue, ket napanda iti pagsaneban, ket naglemmengda iti nagbaetan ti Betel ken Ai iti laud ti Ai. Ngem nakiturog ni Josue kadagiti tattao iti dayta a rabii.
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 amongst the people that night.
10 Nasapa a bimmangon ni Josue iti bigat ket insaganana dagiti soldadona, rinaut ni Josue ken dagiti panglakayen iti Israel dagiti tattao ti Ai.
Joshua rose up early in the morning, mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
11 Simmang-at dagiti amin a lallaki a mannakigubat a kaduana ket immasidegda iti siudad. Dimtengda iti asideg ti siudad ket nagkampoda iti amianan a paset ti Ai. Ita, adda iti tanap a nagbaetanda iti Ai.
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.
12 Nangala isuna iti agarup lima ribu a lallaki ket insaadna ida iti pagsaneban iti laud a paset ti siudad iti nagbaetan ti Betel ken Ai.
He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
13 Inyurnosda dagiti amin a soldado, adda dagiti kangrunaan nga armada iti amianan a paset ti siudad, ken adda dagiti akinlikud a guardia iti laud a paset ti siudad. Immian ni Josue idiay tanap iti dayta a rabii.
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.
14 Ket idi nakita ti ari ti Ai daytoy, nasapa a bimmangon isuna ken ti armadana ket nagdardarasda a rimmuar a mangraut iti Israel iti lugar a nakasango iti tanap ti Karayan Jordan. Saanna nga ammo nga adda maysa a panangsaneb nga agur-uray a rumaut manipud iti likudan ti siudad.
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.
15 Impalubos ni Josue ken dagiti amin nga Israel a maabakda iti sangoananda, ken nagtarayda nga agturong iti let-ang.
Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
16 Sangsangkamaysa a naayaban dagiti amin a tattao nga adda iti siudad tapno kamatenda ida, ken kinamatda ni Josue ket naiyadayoda manipud iti siudad.
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.
17 Awan ti nabati a lalaki idiay Ai ken Betel a saan a napan kimmamat iti Israel. Pinanawanda ti siudad ket imbatida daytoy a silulukat bayat iti panangkamatda iti Israel.
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.
18 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Josue, “Ipaturongmo iti Ai ti iggemmo a gayang, ta itedkon ti Ai iti imam.” Inturong ni Josue ti iggemna a gayang iti siudad.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand towards Ai, for I will give it into your hand.” Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand towards the city.
19 Dagus a rimmuar iti lugarda dagiti soldado nga aglemlemmeng iti pagsaneban apaman nga intayagna ti imana. Nagtarayda ken simrekda iti siudad ket sinakupda daytoy. Dagus a pinuoranda ti siudad.
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.
20 Timmaliaw ken kimmita iti likud dagiti lallaki ti Ai. Nakitada ti asuk manipud iti siudad nga agpangpangato iti tangatang, ket saandan a makalibas iti daytoy wenno iti dayta a dalan. Ta nagsublin dagiti Israelita a nagtaray idiay let-ang tapno sangoenda dagiti mangkamkamat kadakuada.
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.
21 Idi nakita ni Josue ken dagiti amin nga Israel a nasakup ti panangsaneb ti siudad nga adda asuk nga agpangpangato, nagsublida ket pinatayda dagiti lallaki ti Ai.
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.
22 Ken rimmuar dagiti dadduma a soldado ti Israel, dagiti simrek iti siudad, tapno rautenda ida. Isu a natiliw dagiti lallaki ti Ai iti nagbaetan dagiti armada ti Israel. Rinaut ti Israel dagiti lallaki ti Ai; awan ti nakalasat wenno nakalibas kadakuada.
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.
23 Innalada ti ari ti Ai, a natiliwda a sibibiag, ket impanda isuna kenni Josue.
They captured the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
24 Ket idi nalpasen a pinapatay ti Israel dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Ai iti tay-ak iti asideg ti let-ang a nangkamatanda kadakuada, ket idi napapatayda amin agingga iti kaudian babaen iti tadem ti kampilan, nagsubli ti amin nga Israel idiay Ai. Rinautda daytoy babaen iti tadem ti kampilan.
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.
25 Amin a natay iti dayta nga aldaw, lallaki ken babbai, ket sangapulo ket dua a ribu, amin a tattao ti Ai.
All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the people of Ai.
26 Saan nga imbaba ni Josue ti imana nga inngatona bayat nga ig-iggamanna ti gayangna, agingga a nadadaelna a naan-anay dagiti amin a tattao ti Ai.
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.
27 Innala laeng ti Israel nga agpaay kadakuada dagiti taraken ken ti sinamsam manipud iti siudad, a kas iti imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Josue.
Israel took for themselves only the livestock and the goods of that city, according to the LORD’s word which he commanded Joshua.
28 Pinuoran ni Josue ti Ai ken pinagbalinna daytoy a gabsuon dagiti nadadael iti agnanayon. Daytoy ket langalang a lugar agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw.
So Joshua burnt Ai and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.
29 Imbitinna iti kayo ti ari ti Ai agingga iti rabii. Idi lumneken ti init, inted ni Josue ti bilin ket imbabada ti bagi ti ari manipud iti kayo ket imbellengda iti sangoanan dagiti ruangan ti siudad. Ginaburanda sadiay iti dakkel a gabsuon iti batbato iti rabaw daytoy. Nagtalinaed sadiay dayta a gabsuon agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw.
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.
30 Ket nangbangon ni Josue iti altar nga agpaay kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, idiay Bantay Ebal,
Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
31 a kas imbilin ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh kadagiti tattao ti Israel, a kas naisurat iti libro ti linteg ni Moises: “Maysa nga altar manipud kadagiti bato a saan pay a natapyasan, nga awan iti nangaramat iti landok nga alikamen.” Ken nangidaton isuna kadagiti daton a maipuor nga agpaay kenni Yahweh iti rabaw daytoy, ken nangisagutda kadagiti daton a pakikappia.
as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the scroll of the Torah 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.
32 Ket iti imatang dagiti tattao ti Israel, insuratna kadagiti bato ti kopia ti linteg ni Moises.
He wrote there on the stones a copy of Moses’ law, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
33 Nagtakder ti amin nga Israel, dagiti panglakayenda, dagiti opisial ken dagiti ukomda iti agsinnumbangir a paset ti lakasa iti sangoanan dagiti padi ken Levita a mangaw-awit iti lakasa ti tulag ni Yahweh- kasta met dagiti ganggannaet a kas naiyanak nga umili- nagtakder ti kagudua a bilang dagiti tattao iti sangoanan ti Bantay Gerizim ken nagtakder ti dadduma iti sangoanan ti Bantay Ebal. Binendisionanda dagiti tattao ti Israel, a kas imbilin kadakuada ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh idi un-unana.
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.
34 Kalpasanna, binasa ni Josue dagiti amin a sasao ti linteg, dagiti bendision ken dagiti lunod, a kas naisurat dagitoy iti libro ti linteg.
Afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the scroll of the Torah.
35 Awan ti uray maysa a sao manipud iti imbilin ni Moises a saan a binasa ni Josue iti sangoanan ti gimong ti Israel, a pakairamanan dagiti babbai, dagiti ubbing ken dagiti ganggannaet a makipagnanaed kadakuada.
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 amongst them.
