< Yosua 8 >
1 TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, "Kumpulkanlah semua tentaramu, dan pergilah dengan mereka ke Ai. Jangan cemas dan jangan takut! Aku akan memberikan kepadamu kemenangan atas raja Ai. Rakyatnya, kotanya, dan negerinya akan kaurebut.
And he said Yahweh to Joshua may not you fear and may not you be dismayed take with you all [the] people of war and arise go up Ai see - I have given in hand your [the] king of Ai and people his and city his and land his.
2 Ai dan rajanya harus kauperlakukan sama seperti kauperlakukan Yerikho dan rajanya dahulu. Tetapi kali ini barang-barangnya dan ternaknya boleh kamu ambil menjadi milikmu. Bersiap-siaplah untuk menyerang kota itu secara mendadak dari belakang."
And you will do to Ai and to king its just as you did to Jericho and to king its only booty its and livestock its you will plunder for yourselves set for yourself an ambush for the city behind it.
3 Maka Yosua bersiap-siap untuk pergi ke Ai bersama-sama dengan semua tentaranya. Ia memilih 30.000 orang pejuang yang terbaik, lalu mengutus mereka pada waktu malam,
And he arose Joshua and all [the] people of war to go up Ai and he chose Joshua thirty thousand man [the] mighty [men] of strength and he sent out them night.
4 dan memberikan perintah ini kepada mereka, "Bersembunyilah di sebelah sana kota itu, tetapi jangan terlalu jauh; dan bersiaplah untuk menyerang.
And he commanded them saying see you [are] lying in wait for the city behind the city may not you go far away from the city very and you will be all of you prepared.
5 Saya dan anak buah saya akan mendekati kota itu. Apabila orang-orang Ai keluar untuk melawan kami, kami akan berbalik dan lari seperti dahulu.
And I and all the people which [is] with me we will draw near to the city and it will be that they will come out to meet us just as at the first [time] and we will flee before them.
6 Mereka akan mengejar kami terus sampai jauh dari kota itu, dan menyangka bahwa kami melarikan diri seperti dahulu.
And they will come out after us until have drawn out we them from the city for they will say [they are] fleeing before us just as at the first [time] and we will flee before them.
7 Pada waktu itulah kalian harus keluar dari tempat persembunyianmu, dan merebut kota itu. TUHAN Allahmu akan menyerahkannya kepadamu.
And you you will arise from the ambush and you will take possession of the city and he will give it Yahweh God your in hand your.
8 Sesudah merebut, bakarlah kota itu, sesuai dengan yang diperintahkan oleh TUHAN. Itulah tugasmu."
And it will be when have captured you the city you will set on fire the city with fire according to [the] word of Yahweh you will do see I have commanded you.
9 Kemudian Yosua mengutus mereka, dan mereka pergi bersembunyi di sebelah barat Ai antara Ai dan Betel, lalu menunggu di situ. Tapi Yosua bermalam di perkemahan umat Israel.
And he sent out them Joshua and they went to the ambush and they remained between Beth-el and between Ai from [the] west of Ai and he stayed Joshua in the night that in among the people.
10 Pagi-pagi sekali Yosua bangun dan memerintahkan pasukannya supaya berkumpul. Kemudian ia dan para pemimpin umat Israel membawa pasukan itu ke Ai.
And he rose early Joshua in the morning and he mustered the people and he went up he and [the] elders of Israel before the people Ai.
11 Pasukan itu bersama-sama dengan Yosua berjalan ke arah gerbang utama kota Ai, lalu berkemah di sebelah utara, di mana terdapat sebuah lembah antara mereka dan kota itu.
And all the people of war which [was] with him they went up and they approached and they came before the city and they encamped from [the] north of Ai and the valley ([was] between it *Q(k)*) and between Ai.
12 Sejumlah kurang lebih 5.000 orang telah disuruhnya bersembunyi di sebelah barat kota itu, antara Ai dan Betel.
And he took about five thousand man and he set them an ambush between Beth-el and between Ai from [the] west of the city.
13 Jadi, susunan pasukan tempur itu diatur sebagai berikut: markas utama ditempatkan di sebelah utara kota itu dan pasukan yang lainnya di sebelah barat, sedangkan Yosua pergi ke lembah pada malam itu.
And they set the people all the camp which [was] from [the] north of the city and rearguard its from [the] west of the city and he went Joshua in the night that in [the] middle of the valley.
14 Begitu raja Ai melihat anak buah Yosua, cepat-cepat ia bertindak. Ia dan semua orang-orangnya keluar menuju lembah Yordan untuk menyerang orang Israel di tempat yang dahulu. Ia tidak tahu bahwa sebentar lagi ia akan diserang dari belakang.
And it was when saw [the] king of Ai and they hurried and they rose early and they went out [the] men of the city to meet Israel for battle he and all people his to the appointed place before the Arabah and he not he knew that an ambush for him [was] behind the city.
15 Yosua dan anak buahnya berbuat seolah-olah mereka sedang mundur; mereka lari menuju daerah padang gersang.
And they were struck Joshua and all Israel before them and they fled [the] direction of the wilderness.
16 Semua orang laki-laki di kota Ai dikerahkan untuk mengejar Yosua dan pasukannya itu. Tapi semakin mereka mengejar Yosua, semakin jauhlah mereka dari kota mereka.
And they were called together all the people which ([was] in Ai *Q(K)*) to pursue after them and they pursued after Joshua and they were drawn out from the city.
17 Semua orang di Ai keluar untuk mengejar orang Israel, sehingga kota itu dibiarkan terbuka begitu saja, tanpa penjagaan.
And not he remained anyone in Ai and Beth-el who not they went out after Israel and they left the city open and they pursued after Israel.
18 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, "Angkat tombakmu dan acungkan ke arah Ai; kota itu Kuserahkan sekarang kepadamu." Yosua melaksanakan perintah TUHAN itu.
And he said Yahweh to Joshua stretch out with the javelin which [is] in hand your to Ai for in hand your I will give it and he stretched out Joshua with the javelin which [was] in hand his to the city.
19 Begitu Yosua mengacungkan tangannya, pasukan yang bersembunyi itu cepat-cepat bangkit dan menyerbu kota itu, lalu merebutnya. Langsung mereka membakar kota itu.
And the ambush it arose quickly from place its and they ran when stretched out hand his and they went the city and they captured it and they hurried and they set on fire the city with fire.
20 Orang-orang Ai menoleh ke belakang, dan melihat asap mengepul sampai ke langit. Yosua dan pasukannya juga melihat asap dan menyadari bahwa pasukan yang lainnya sudah merebut kota itu. Jadi, berbaliklah Yosua dengan pasukannya untuk menyerang dan membunuh orang Ai. Orang-orang Israel yang di kota Ai itu pun datang dan turut menyerang, sehingga orang Ai terkepung dan tak bisa melarikan diri. Tidak seorang pun dari mereka yang lolos, semuanya mati dibunuh oleh orang Israel,
And they turned [the] men of Ai behind them and they saw and there! it went up [the] smoke of the city the heavens towards and not it was in them hands to flee hither and hither and the people which was fleeing the wilderness it turned back against the pursuer.
And Joshua and all Israel they saw that it had captured the ambush the city and that it went up [the] smoke of the city and they turned back and they attacked [the] men of Ai.
And these [men] they came out from the city to meet them and they were to Israel in the middle these from this and these from this and they struck down them until not he had left to him a survivor and a fugitive.
23 kecuali raja Ai. Ia ditangkap lalu dibawa menghadap Yosua.
And [the] king of Ai they captured alive and they brought near him to Joshua.
24 Sesudah pasukan Israel membunuh habis tentara musuh yang mengejar mereka di padang gersang, kembalilah mereka ke Ai, dan membunuh semua orang di sana.
And it was when had finished Israel to kill all [the] inhabitants of Ai in the open country in the wilderness which they had pursued them in it and they had fallen all of them to [the] mouth of [the] sword until were finished they and they returned all Israel Ai and they attacked it to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
25 Yosua terus saja mengacungkan tombaknya ke arah Ai, dan tidak menurunkannya sampai orang-orang di Ai sudah terbunuh semuanya. Hari itu juga matilah seluruh penduduk Ai--12.000 orang banyaknya, laki-laki dan perempuan.
And it was all those [who] fell on the day that from man and unto woman two [plus] ten thousand all [the] people of Ai.
And Joshua not he drew back hand his which he had stretched out with the javelin until that he had totally destroyed all [the] inhabitants of Ai.
27 Ternak dan barang-barang yang direbut di kota itu, diambil oleh orang-orang Israel menjadi milik mereka, sesuai dengan yang dikatakan TUHAN kepada Yosua.
Only the livestock and [the] booty of the city that they plundered for themselves Israel according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had commanded Joshua.
28 Yosua membakar Ai, dan membiarkannya menjadi puing sampai saat ini.
And he burned Joshua Ai and he made it a mound of perpetuity a desolation until the day this.
29 Raja kota itu digantungnya pada tonggak, dan dibiarkan di situ sampai sore. Pada waktu matahari terbenam, Yosua menyuruh orang mengambil mayat itu dan membuangnya di depan gerbang kota. Kemudian tempat itu ditimbuni dengan banyak sekali batu. Batu-batu itu masih di sana sampai sekarang.
And [the] king of Ai he hanged on the tree until [the] time of the evening and just as went the sun he commanded Joshua and they took down corpse his from the tree and they threw it to [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and they set up over him a heap of stones great until the day this.
30 Kemudian Yosua membangun sebuah mezbah di Gunung Ebal untuk TUHAN, Allah Israel.
Then he built Joshua an altar to Yahweh [the] God of Israel on [the] mountain of Ebal.
31 Mezbah itu dibuatnya sesuai dengan petunjuk-petunjuk di dalam Buku Musa, hamba TUHAN itu, kepada orang-orang Israel: "Sebuah mezbah dari batu-batu yang belum pernah dikerjakan dengan alat-alat besi." Di atas mezbah itu orang Israel mempersembahkan kepada TUHAN: kurban bakaran dan juga kurban perdamaian mereka.
Just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh [the] people of Israel according to [what] is written in [the] book of [the] law of Moses an altar of stones complete which not anyone has wielded on them iron and they offered up on it burnt offerings to Yahweh and they sacrificed peace offerings.
32 Di sana, dengan disaksikan oleh orang-orang Israel, Yosua menulis pada batu-batu mezbah itu salinan hukum-hukum TUHAN yang terdapat dalam Buku Musa.
And he wrote there on the stones copy of [the] law of Moses which he had written before [the] people of Israel.
33 Orang-orang Israel, dengan pemimpin-pemimpin, perwira-perwira, hakim-hakim, dan juga orang-orang asing yang tinggal di antara mereka, berdiri di sebelah-menyebelah Peti Perjanjian TUHAN menghadap para imam Lewi yang memikul Peti Perjanjian itu. Separuh dari orang-orang itu menghadap ke Gunung Gerizim, dan separuhnya lagi menghadap ke Gunung Ebal. Musa, hamba TUHAN itu, sudah memerintahkan supaya mereka melakukan hal itu apabila tiba waktunya untuk mereka menerima berkat yang dijanjikan TUHAN.
And all Israel and elders its and officials - and judges its [were] standing from this - and from this - of the ark before the priests the Levites [the] bearers of - [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh as the sojourner as the native half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Gerizim and half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Ebal just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh to bless the people Israel at the former [time].
34 Kemudian Yosua membacakan keras-keras seluruh hukum sesuai dengan yang tertulis dalam Buku Hukum, termasuk berkat-berkat dan kutukan-kutukan.
And after thus he read aloud all [the] words of the law the blessing and the curse according to every [thing] written in [the] book of the law.
35 Setiap perintah Musa dibacakan oleh Yosua kepada seluruh umat Israel yang berkumpul di situ, termasuk wanita, anak-anak, dan orang-orang asing yang tinggal di antara mereka.
Not it was anything from all that he had commanded Moses which not he read aloud Joshua before all [the] assembly of Israel and the women and the little one[s] and the sojourner[s] who went in midst their.
