Jozuas 8
1 Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jozua: nebīsties un nebaiļojies! Ņem līdz visus karavīrus un celies pret Aju; redzi, Es esmu devis tavā rokā Ajas ķēniņu un viņa ļaudis, viņa pilsētu un viņa zemi.
Then the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear, and you should not dread. Take with you the entire multitude of fighters, and rising up, ascend to the town of Ai. Behold, I have delivered into your hand its king and people, and the city and the land.
2 Un dari Ajai un viņas ķēniņam, kā tu esi darījis Jērikum un viņa ķēniņam, tikai lai jūs viņas laupījumu un viņas lopus priekš sev ņemat. Liec citiem paslēpties aiz pilsētas.
And you shall do to the city of Ai, and to its king, just as you did to Jericho, and to its king. Yet truly, the spoils, and all the living things, you shall plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it.”
3 Tad Jozuas un visi karavīri cēlās, iet uz Aju, un Jozuas izlasīja trīsdesmit tūkstošus spēcīgu un stipru vīru, un tos izsūtīja naktī,
And Joshua rose up, and the entire army of warriors with him, so that they might ascend against Ai. And he sent thirty thousand elect strong men in the night.
4 Un tiem pavēlēja sacīdams: raugāt, jums pret to pilsētu būs paslēpties aiz pilsētas; neturaties visai tālu no pilsētas un esiet visi gatavi.
And he instructed them, saying: “Set an ambush behind the city. You shall withdraw not far away, and let everyone be prepared.
5 Es tad un visi tie ļaudis, kas pie manis, pieiesim pie pilsētas, un kad tie izies mums pretī tā kā pirmo reiz, tad mēs no viņiem bēgsim.
But I and the remainder of the multitude that is with me will approach from the opposite side of the city. And when they come out against us, we will flee and turn our backs, just as we did before,
6 Lai tie tad nāk ārā mums pakaļ, kamēr mēs tos no pilsētas atšķiram, jo tie sacīs: viņi bēg mūsu priekšā, tā kā pirmo reiz, - un mēs bēgsim no viņiem.
until, pursuing us, they are drawn away from the city. For they will think that we are fleeing as before.
7 Bet jūs ceļaties no tās vietas, kur bijāt slēpušies, un uzņemat to pilsētu, jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, to devis jūsu rokā.
Then, while we are fleeing and they are pursuing, you shall rise up from the ambush, and you shall lay waste to the city. And the Lord your God will deliver it into your hands.
8 Un kad jūs to pilsētu esat uzņēmuši tad jums to pilsētu būs sadedzināt ar uguni, pēc Tā Kunga vārda jums būs darīt; redziet, es jums to esmu pavēlējis.
And when you have seized it, set it on fire. And you shall do all that I have ordered.”
9 Tā Jozuas tos izsūtīja. Un tie gāja paslēpties un turējās starp Bēteli un Aju, Ajai pret vakariem, bet Jozuas palika to nakti pie tiem ļaudīm.
And he sent them away, and they traveled to the place of the ambush, and they settled between Bethel and Ai, toward the western region of the city of Ai. But Joshua remained for that night in the midst of the people.
10 Un Jozuas cēlās no rīta agri un pārlūkoja tos ļaudis, un viņš un Israēla vecaji cēlās tiem ļaudīm priekšā pret Aju.
And rising at first light, he reviewed his troops, and he went up, with the elders at the front of the army, surrounded by an auxiliary of fighters.
11 Tā līdz arīdzan visi karavīri, kas pie tā bija, cēlās un piegāja un nāca pret to pilsētu un apmetās pret ziemeļa pusi no Ajas, un tur bija ieleja starp tiem un Aju.
And when they had arrived, and had ascended from the opposite side of the city, they stood toward the northern region of the city. And there was a valley in the middle, between them and the city.
12 Un viņš ņēma kādus piectūkstoš vīrus un tiem lika paslēpties starp Bēteli un Aju, pilsētai pret vakariem.
Now he had chosen five thousand men, and he had positioned them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, at the western part of the same city.
13 Un tie nostādīja tos ļaudis, visu to lēģeri, kas bija pret pilsētas ziemeļa pusi, un viņa pakaļējo pulku pret pilsētas vakara pusi, un Jozuas tanī naktī nogāja pašā ielejā.
Yet truly, all the remainder of the army was arranged in a line to the north, so that the very end of that multitude reached to the western region of the city. Then Joshua went out that night, and he stood in the middle of the valley.
14 Un kad Ajas ķēniņš to redzēja, tad tie pilsētas vīri steidzās un cēlās no rīta agri un izgāja Israēlim pretī uz kaušanos, viņš un visi viņa ļaudis, norunātā vietā klajuma priekšā, bet viņš nezināja, ka citi bija paslēpušies aiz pilsētas.
And when the king of Ai had seen this, he hurried in the morning, and he went out with the entire army of the city. And he arranged them in a line opposite the desert, not knowing that an ambush lay hidden behind his back.
15 Un Jozuas un viss Israēls izlikās kauti esoši viņu priekšā un bēga pa tuksneša ceļu.
Yet truly, Joshua, and all of Israel, withdrew from the place, pretending to be afraid, and fleeing along the way of the wilderness.
16 Tāpēc visi ļaudis, kas bija pilsētā, tapa sasaukti, ka tiem dzītos pakaļ.
And they pursued them, shouting together and encouraging one another. And when they had withdrawn from the city,
17 Un tie dzinās Jozuam pakaļ un šķīrās nost no pilsētas, un tur neatlika neviena vīra Ajā un Bētelē, kas nebūtu izgājis Israēlim pakaļ, un tie pameta pilsētu atvērtu un dzinās Israēlim pakaļ.
and indeed not one remained in the city of Ai and of Bethel who did not pursue after Israel, (leaving the towns open after they had rushed out, )
18 Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jozua: izstiep to šķēpu, kas tavā rokā, pret Aju, jo Es to došu tavā rokā. Tad Jozuas izstiepa to šķēpu, kas bija viņa rokā, pret to pilsētu.
the Lord said to Joshua: “Lift up the shield that is in your hand, toward the city of Ai. For I will deliver it to you.”
19 Tad tie, kas bija paslēpušies, tūdaļ cēlās no savas vietas un skrēja, kad viņš savu roku izstiepa, un nāca pilsētā un to uzņēma un steidzās un iededzināja to pilsētu ar uguni.
And when he had lifted up the shield toward the city, the ambush, which lay hidden, rose up quickly. And advancing to the city, they seized it, and set it on fire.
20 Kad nu Ajas ļaudis atpakaļ griezās, tad tie skatījās, un redzi, pilsētas dūmi cēlās pret debesi, un tie nespēja nekur bēgt, ne šurp, ne turp, jo tie ļaudis, kas uz tuksnesi bēga, griezās atpakaļ pret tiem, kas dzinās pakaļ.
Now the men of the city who were pursuing Joshua, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rising up even to heaven, were no longer able to flee in one direction or another, especially since those who had pretended to flee, and who were heading toward the wilderness, had turned back very strongly against those who were pursuing them.
21 Jo kad Jozuas un viss Israēls redzēja, ka tie, kas bija paslēpušies, pilsētu bija uzņēmuši un ka pilsētas dūmi cēlās, tad viņi arīdzan griezās atpakaļ un kāva Ajas vīrus.
And Joshua, and all of Israel, seeing that the city had been captured, and that the smoke of the city was ascending, returned and struck down the men of Ai.
22 Un tad arī tie no pilsētas nāca ārā viņiem pretī, tā ka tie bija vidū starp Israēli, šie no tejienes un viņi no turienes, un tie tos kāva, kamēr neviens no tiem neatlika nedz izbēga.
Then too, those who had seized and set the city on fire, departing from the city toward their own men, began to strike the enemies in the middle. Therefore, since the adversaries were cut off from both sides, none of so great a multitude was saved.
23 Bet Ajas ķēniņu tie sagūstīja dzīvu un veda pie Jozuas.
Also, they apprehended the king of the city of Ai, alive, and they brought him before Joshua.
24 Un kad Israēls bija nokāvis visus Ajas iedzīvotājus, laukā un tuksnesī, uz kurieni tie viņiem bija dzinušies pakaļ, un kad tie visi caur zobena asmeni bija krituši līdz pēdīgam, tad viss Israēls griezās atpakaļ uz Aju, un to sita ar zobena asmeni.
And so, after all were slain who had pursued Israel fleeing toward the wilderness, and after they fell by the sword in the same place, the sons of Israel returned and struck the city.
25 Un visi, kas tai dienā krita, vīri un sievas, bija divpadsmit tūkstoši; tie bija visi Ajas ļaudis.
Now there were twelve thousand persons who had fallen on the same day, from man even to woman, the entire city of Ai.
26 Un Jozuas neatvilka savu roku, ko viņš ar šķēpu bija izstiepis, tiekams viņš nebija izdeldējis visus Ajas iedzīvotājus.
Truly Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, keeping hold of the shield until all the inhabitants of Ai were put to death.
27 Tikai lopus un pilsētas laupījumu Israēls laupīja priekš sevis pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko viņš Jozuam bija pavēlējis.
Then the sons of Israel divided among themselves the cattle and the plunder of the city, just as the Lord had instructed Joshua.
28 Un Jozuas sadedzināja Aju un to padarīja par mūžīgu postažas vietu līdz šai dienai.
And he set fire to the city, and he caused it to be a perpetual tomb.
29 Un Ajas ķēniņu viņš pakāra pie koka līdz vakaram, un kad saule nogāja, Jozuas pavēlēja, viņa miesas noņemt no koka, un tie viņu nometa pie pilsētas vārtiem un uzkrāva pār viņu lielu akmeņu kopu līdz šai dienai.
Also, he suspended the king on a gallows, until evening and the setting of the sun. And Joshua instructed, and they took down his dead body from the hanging tree. And they cast it at the very entrance of the city, gathering a great pile of stones upon it, which remains even to the present day.
30 Tad Jozuas uztaisīja altāri Tam Kungam, Israēla Dievam, Ebala kalnā,
Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
31 Tā kā Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, Israēla bērniem bija pavēlējis, kā Mozus bauslības grāmatā stāv rakstīts, altāri no veseliem akmeņiem, kur dzelzs ierocis nebija pielikts, un uz tā tie upurēja Tam Kungam dedzināmos upurus un upurēja arī pateicības upurus.
just as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had instructed to the sons of Israel, and this was written in the book of the law of Moses: truly, an altar of uncut stones, which iron has not touched. And he offered holocausts upon it to the Lord, and he immolated victims as peace-offerings.
32 Un viņš rakstīja uz tiem akmeņiem norakstu no Mozus bauslības, ko šis bija rakstījis priekš Israēla bērniem.
And he wrote on the stones, the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had set in order before the sons of Israel.
33 Un viss Israēls ar saviem vecajiem un virsniekiem un soģiem stāvēja abējos šķirsta sānos pretim tiem priesteriem un Levitiem, kas Tā Kunga derības šķirstu nesa, gan svešinieki, gan pašu ļaudis, viena puse pret Gerizim kalnu un otra puse pret Ebalkalnu, tā kā Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, iepriekš bija pavēlējis, tos ļaudis svētīt.
Then all the people, and those greater by birth, and the commanders and judges were standing on both sides of the ark, in the sight of the priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, with both the new arrival and the native born, one half part of them beside Mount Gerizim, and one half beside Mount Ebal, just as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had instructed. And first, certainly, he blessed the people of Israel.
34 Un pēc tam viņš izlasīja visus bauslības vārdus, svētību un lāstu, kā bauslības grāmatā stāv rakstīts.
After this, he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing, and all the things that were written in the book of the law.
35 Tur nebija neviena vārda no visiem, cik Mozus bija pavēlējis, ko Jozuas nebūtu izlasījis priekš visas Israēla draudzes un tām sievām un tiem bērniņiem un tiem svešiniekiem, kas staigāja viņu vidū.
He left nothing untouched out of those things that Moses had ordered, and he repeated everything before the entire multitude of Israel, with the women and the little ones, and the new arrivals who were staying among them.
