Zosua 8
1 Hanki anante Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Korora osuge, atregeno kagu'amo'a kna osino. Maka sondia vahera zamavarenka marerinka Ai kumara hara ome huzamanto. Na'ankure Nagra Ai kuma'mofo kini ne'ma, vahe'ama, ran kuma'ane, mopa'anena ko kagri kzampi ante'noe.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. See, I have delivered into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
2 Kagra Jeriko kini ne'ene rankuma'anema hu'nanaza hunka, Ai rankuma'mofo kini ne'ene ana maka'zana eri haviza huo. Hianagi ana kumapinti'ma maka tamavesisia zantamine bulimakao afutaminena tamagra'a suza avreta viho. Hanki menina ha'ma hanagu tro nehuta, mago'a sondia vahera huzmantenke'za rankumamofo mefiga'a kafona omenteho.
And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set up an ambush behind the city.”
3 Anagema hige'za Josua'ene maka sondia vahe'mo'za Ai kumate vahera ha' huzmantenaku vu'naze. Hanki koro osu'za hanaveti'za ha'ma nehaza vahe Josua'a 30 tauseni'a huzmantege'za kenageke vu'naze.
So Joshua and the whole army set out to attack Ai. Joshua chose 30,000 mighty men of valor and sent them out at night
4 Hagi nevzageno Josua'a amanage huno huzmante'ne, Ama nanekea tamagesa anteta antahiho, tamagra rankuma'mofo tvaonte amefiga'a kafo ome anteta hahu'are tro huta umaniho.
with these orders: “Pay attention. You are to lie in ambush behind the city, not too far from it. All of you must be ready.
5 Hanki nagranema mani'naza sondia vahe'enena rankuma'mofona avugati vugahune. Hanki Ai rankumapi vahe'mo'zama ko'ma hu'nazaza hu'za ha'ma hurante'naku atiramiza esnageta, tagra ese knazupama hu'nonaza huta zamimi huta koro freta egahune.
Then I and all the troops with me will advance on the city. When they come out against us as they did the first time, we will flee from them.
6 Tagra zami'mi huta freta esunke'za, rankuma'zmia atre'za trotago hu'za afete'ma esu'za zamagra amanage hugahaze, ko'ma hu'nazaza hu'za tagri koro fraze nehanageta, tagra zami'mi huta afete kna egahune.
They will pursue us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’ So as we flee from them,
7 Anama hanunketa tamagra kafoma antetama mani'nafintira atretma vutma, Ai rankumara ome eriho. Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a ana rankumara tazampi antegahie.
you are to rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
8 Hagi tamagrama ana rankuma'ma ome eritesuta, teve tagintenkeno teno. Ra Anumzamo'ma nasamige'na tamasami'noa kante antetma anazana hiho.
And when you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do as the LORD has commanded! See, I have given you orders.”
9 Nehuno Josua'a ana sondia vahera huzmantege'za vu'za zagema ufre kaziga Ai rankuma'ene Beteli rankuma'mofo amu'nozanifi ome kafona ante'naze. Hianagi agra Josua'a ruga'a sondia vahezagane kumama ome ante'za mani'narega ana kenagera mani'ne.
So Joshua sent them out, and they went to the place of ambush and lay in wait between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai. But Joshua spent that night among the people.
10 Hanki Josua'a nanterampi otino sondia vahe'zaga kehu tru huteno, Israeli ranra vahera zamavareno ugota hige'za sondia vahe'ane Ai kumate vu'naze.
Joshua got up early the next morning and mobilized his men, and he and the elders of Israel marched before them up to Ai.
11 Josua'enema vu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za rankumamofona avuga kazigati vurava'o hu'naze. Anante Ai rankumamofona noti kaziga mago agupo amu'nozamifina me'negeno kantu kaziga Ai rankuma me'nege'za, kamakaziga kumara omente'naze.
Then all the troops who were with him marched up and approached the city. They arrived in front of Ai and camped to the north of it, with the valley between them and the city.
12 Hagi Josua'a sondia vahera 5 tauseni'a naza ko huzamantege'za vu'za, Ai rankumamofo zage fre kaziga Ai kuma'ene Beteli kumamokizni amu'nompi kafona omente'naze.
Now Joshua had taken about five thousand men and set up an ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of the city.
13 Hanki ha'ma hanaza kankamuna amanahu hu'za retrora hu'naze. Ai rankumamofo noti kazigama tro'ma hu'za mani'naza sondia vahera rama'agna hu'za mani'naze. Ana hazage'za mago'a sondia vahera zage ufre kaziga kafonte'za mani'naze. Hanki Josua'a ana kenagera agra agupofi uramino umani'ne.
So the forces were stationed with the main camp to the north of the city and the rear guard to the west of the city. And that night Joshua went into the valley.
14 Hanki Ai kumate kini ne'mo'ma agra anama hazazama negeno'a, agrane maka vahe'ane, maka ana kumapi vene'nemo'za Israeli naga Jodani agupofi ha' huzmanteku nanterampi ame hu'za kumara atre'za atirami'za e'naze. Hianagi Ai kumate kini ne'mo'a kuma'amofo amefi'ama mago'a Israeli vahe'mo'zama kafoma omente'zama mani'nazana onke'ne.
When the king of Ai saw the Israelites, he hurried out early in the morning with the men of the city to engage them in battle at an appointed place overlooking the Arabah. But he did not know that an ambush had been set up against him behind the city.
15 Anante Josua'ene maka sondia vahe'amo'za Ai kumate kini nera revatga hu'za ami'mi hu'za hagege kokama me'nerega fre'za vu'naze.
Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten back before them, and they fled toward the wilderness.
16 Hagi Ai kini ne'mo'ma zamagege'za Israeli naga'mo'zama zami'mi hu'za koroma frazageno'a, maka venenema ana rankumapima mani'naza vahera ke hige'za, Israeli vahera zamarotago hu'za vu'naze. Ana hige'za kumazamia atre'za Josuane Israeli vahetamina zamarotgo hu'za afete vu'naze.
Then all the men of Ai were summoned to pursue them, and they followed Joshua and were drawn away from the city.
17 Hanki Ai kumate'ene Beteli kumate vene'nea magore hu'za kumazmia kegava hu'za omani'za, ana maka'mo'za atre'za Israeli vahe zamarotago hu'za vazageno, kuma kahamo'a hagro huno me'ne.
Not a man was left in Ai or Bethel who did not go out after Israel, leaving the city wide open while they pursued Israel.
18 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Josuana asami'ne, Karugru keveka'a erisga hunka Ai kumatega agona'a hunto, na'ankure Ai kumara kagri kzampi Nagra menina antegahue. Anage higeno Josua'a krugru keve'a erisga huno Ai kumatega agona'a hunte'ne.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Hold out your battle lance toward Ai, for into your hand I will deliver the city.” So Joshua held out his battle lance toward Ai,
19 Hanki Josua'a karugru keve'ama erisgama hige'za kafoma ante'naza sondia vahe'mo'za nege'za, kafoma ante'naretira ame hu'za oti'za zamagare'za Ai rankumapina ufre'za, kuma'ma maka erivagamanere'za ame hu'za ana kumara teve taginte'naze.
and as soon as he did so, the men in ambush rose quickly from their position. They rushed forward, entered the city, captured it, and immediately set it on fire.
20 Hanki Ai kumate vene'nemo'zama rukrahe hu'zama kazana kuma'zamifintira tevegumo'a vemagu vemagu huno mareri'ne. Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'zama zami'mi hu'za koro'ma fre'za nevazaretira rukrahe hu'za, Ai nagara hara hu'zamante'za azageno, koro'ma fre'naza kazamia omnene.
When the men of Ai turned and looked back, the smoke of the city was rising into the sky. They could not escape in any direction, and the troops who had fled to the wilderness now became the pursuers.
21 Anante Josua'ene mika Israeli vahe'mo'zama zami'mi hu'za Ai vahe'ma nevazareti'ma, kageno Ai rankumapinti'ma teve kumo'ma vemagu vemagu huno monaregama marerige'za nege'za ete rukrahe hu'za zamarotagoma hu'za nevaza Ai vahera zamahe'naze.
When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that smoke was rising from it, they turned around and struck down the men of Ai.
22 Hanki Israeli sondia vahe'ma Ai rankumapima mani'naza naga'mo'za atiramiza Ai vahera zamefiti hara eme huzmante'naze. Ana hu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Ai vahera zamazeri amu'no hute'za magore hu'za ozamatre'za, ana maka zamahe hana hu'naze.
Meanwhile, those in the ambush came out of the city against them, and the men of Ai were trapped between the Israelite forces on both sides. So Israel struck them down until no survivor or fugitive remained.
23 Hianagi magoke Ai kini ne'ke ahe ofri avre'za Josuante vu'naze.
But they took the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.
24 Hanki Israeli vahe'mo'za ha' vahezmima, ka'ma kokampi ome zamahe vaganere'za ete rukrahe hu'za vu'za, Ai rankumapima mani'naza vahera bainati kazinteti ome zamahe vagare'naze.
When Israel had finished killing all the men of Ai who had pursued them into the field and wilderness, and when every last one of them had fallen by the sword, all the Israelites returned to Ai and put it to the sword as well.
25 Hanki ana zupa 12 tauseni'a Ai kumate vene'nene a'nene zamahe fri'naze.
A total of twelve thousand men and women fell that day—all the people of Ai.
26 Hianagi Josua'a karugru keve'ama erisga huno agona'ama Ai kumategama hunte'nea azana erinte orami erisga hu'nege'za, maka Ai kumapima mani'naza vahera zamahe vagare'naze.
Joshua did not draw back the hand that held his battle lance until he had devoted to destruction all who lived in Ai.
27 Hanki Ra Anumzamo'ma Josuama asmi'nea kante ante'za, zamagra'a suza bulimakao afutaminke nevre'za, Ai kumapintira mago'a zantaminena eri'naze.
Israel took for themselves only the cattle and plunder of that city, as the LORD had commanded Joshua.
28 Ana hutegeno Josua'a Ai rankumara teve tagintegeno tevemo te osavazigeno ana zantamimo'a hihi huno meno ama knarera e'ne.
So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolation to this day.
29 Anante Josua'a Ai kini nera anankempi nofi harari vazino mago zafare anakintegeno frino avufga'amo'a meno vuno kinaga ome se'ne. Hagi zagea tamifretegeno, Josua'a vahe huzmantege'za avufga'a eri'za Ai rankumamofo ufre kafante ome netre'za, ana agofetura have eri'za antehihi hazageno, ana haveramimo'a meno ama knarera ehanati'ne.
He hung the king of Ai on a tree until evening, and at sunset Joshua commanded that they take down the body from the tree and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And over it they raised a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.
30 Anante Josua'a Ebali agonafi mago kresramna vu ita Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzantega tro hu'ne.
At that time Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal to the LORD, the God of Israel,
31 Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamasami'nea kea amage nenteno, Mosese kasegefi me'nea kante'ene amage anteno aenireti taga hu'za eri fatgo osu'naza haveraminteti, mago kre fananema hu ofama hu ita trohu'ne. Ana itamofo agofetura tevefi kre fananehu ofane, Anumzanema mago zamarimpa hu ofa hu'naze.
just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the Israelites. He built it according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: “an altar of uncut stones on which no iron tool has been used.” And on it they offered burnt offerings to the LORD, and they sacrificed peace offerings.
32 Anante ko'ma Mosese'ma kre'nea kasegea Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamavure Josua'a mago'a havemofo agofetu ete krente'ne.
And there in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua inscribed on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written.
33 Ana maka Israeli vahe'ma ranra vahetamima keagama refkoma nehaza vahe'ma, sondia vahete kva vahe'ma, rurega vahe'ma zamagranema nemaniza vahe'mo'za tare kevu vahera refko hu'naze. Ana hute'za mago kevu vahe'mo'za Gerisim agona tava'onte manizageno, mago kevu vahe'mo'za Ebeli agona tvaonte mani'naze. Ana hazageno Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimo'a amu'nozamifi me'ne. Hige'za ana vogisima pristi vahe'mo'zama erisgama hu'za vazazana maka veamo'za ke'naze. Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma zamasamino, Kenani mopafima umaniteta tamazeri so'e hanigu Ramofontega hihoma hu'nea zana hu'naze.
All Israel, foreigners and citizens alike, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the LORD facing the Levitical priests who carried it. Half of the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded earlier, to bless the people of Israel.
34 Anante maka asomu'ma huzmantesia ke'ne, zamazeri havizama hu kema Mosese'ma kasege avontafepima krente'neana maka vahe zamavuga Josua'a hamprine.
Afterward, Joshua read aloud all the words of the law—the blessings and the curses—according to all that is written in the Book of the Law.
35 Josua'a ana maka kasegema Mosese'ma kre'neana magore huno otreno hampri vagarege'za, maka Israeli vahe'mo'za antahi'naze. Hanki a'ne'ma, mofavre zagama, ruregati vahe'ma zamagranema nemaniza nena ana kea antahi'naze.
There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua failed to read before the whole assembly of Israel, including the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who lived among them.
