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 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged [because of what happened at] Ai. Lead all of your soldiers and go there again. I will help you to defeat the king of Ai, his people, and his city, and [enable you to take] his 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.
Your army will do to the people of Ai and their king like what you did to the people of Jericho and their king. But this time [I will permit you to] take all their possessions and keep them for yourselves. But first, tell some of your soldiers to [hide behind] the city [and] prepare to suddenly attack it.”
3 Tad Jozuas un visi karavīri cēlās, iet uz Aju, un Jozuas izlasīja trīsdesmit tūkstošus spēcīgu un stipru vīru, un tos izsūtīja naktī,
So Joshua led all his army toward Ai. He chose 30,000 of his best fighters/warriors and prepared to send them out during 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.
He said to them, “Listen carefully. Some of you must hide on the other side of the city. Do not go far from the city. Just be ready [to attack].
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.
I and the men who are with me will march toward the city [in the morning]. The men in the city will come out to fight us, like they did before. Then we will turn around and start to run away from them.
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.
They will think that we are running away from them like we did before. So they will chase us away from the city. While we are running away,
7 Bet jūs ceļaties no tās vietas, kur bijāt slēpušies, un uzņemat to pilsētu, jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, to devis jūsu rokā.
[those of you who are hiding come out and] rush into the city and capture it. Yahweh your God will enable you to conquer it.
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.
After you capture the city, burn it. Do what Yahweh has commanded us to do. Those are the orders I am giving to you.”
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.
Then Joshua [prepared to] send some of them to [hide and] wait between Ai and Bethel, which was west of Ai. But Joshua stayed with his other soldiers that night.
10 Un Jozuas cēlās no rīta agri un pārlūkoja tos ļaudis, un viņš un Israēla vecaji cēlās tiem ļaudīm priekšā pret Aju.
Early the next morning, Joshua gathered his soldiers together. Then he and the other Israeli leaders led them up to Ai.
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.
They all set up their tents close to Ai, just to the north of the city, where all the people of the city could see them. There was a valley between them and the city.
12 Un viņš ņēma kādus piectūkstoš vīrus un tiem lika paslēpties starp Bēteli un Aju, pilsētai pret vakariem.
Then Joshua chose about 5,000 men and told them to go and hide just west of the city, between Ai and Bethel.
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.
So those men did that. The main group of soldiers was north of the city, and the others were hiding west of the city. That night Joshua went down into 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.
When the king of Ai saw the Israeli army, he and his soldiers got up early the next morning and quickly went out of the city to fight them. They went to a place east of the city, but they did not know that some Israeli soldiers were hiding behind the city.
15 Un Jozuas un viss Israēls izlikās kauti esoši viņu priekšā un bēga pa tuksneša ceļu.
Joshua and the Israeli soldiers [who were with him] allowed the army of Ai to push them back. They ran toward the desert.
16 Tāpēc visi ļaudis, kas bija pilsētā, tapa sasaukti, ka tiem dzītos pakaļ.
The men in Ai were ordered to chase after Joshua and his men. So they left the city and started to pursue the Israelis.
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.
All the men of Ai and the men of Bethel pursued the Israeli army. They did not leave even one man in Ai to defend it. The [gates of the] city were left wide open.
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.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “[Lift up] your spear [and] point it toward Ai, because I am going to enable your soldiers to capture it!” So Joshua pointed [his spear] toward Ai.
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.
When the Israeli men who were hiding saw that, they rushed out from the places where they were hiding and ran into the city. They quickly captured 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.
When the men of Ai looked back, they saw smoke rising from their city. But they could not escape, because the Israeli troops stopped running away.
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.
Joshua and his men saw that the men who had been hiding had captured the city and were burning it, and they saw the smoke rising. So they turned around and started to attack 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.
Meanwhile, the soldiers who had captured the city came out [and attacked them from the rear]. So the men of Ai were caught between the two groups of Israeli soldiers. None of the men of Ai escaped. The Israelis fought until they killed all of them. Only the king of Ai was still alive.
23 Bet Ajas ķēniņu tie sagūstīja dzīvu un veda pie Jozuas.
Then they seized the king of Ai and brought him to 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.
While they were fighting, the Israeli army pursued the men of Ai into the fields and into the desert, and killed all of them. Then they went to Ai and killed everyone who was there.
25 Un visi, kas tai dienā krita, vīri un sievas, bija divpadsmit tūkstoši; tie bija visi Ajas ļaudis.
They killed 12,000 men and women.
26 Un Jozuas neatvilka savu roku, ko viņš ar šķēpu bija izstiepis, tiekams viņš nebija izdeldējis visus Ajas iedzīvotājus.
Joshua continued to point his spear [LIT] toward Ai, until all the people in Ai had been killed.
27 Tikai lopus un pilsētas laupījumu Israēls laupīja priekš sevis pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko viņš Jozuam bija pavēlējis.
The Israeli soldiers took for themselves the animals and the other things that had belonged to the people of Ai, just like Yahweh had told Joshua that they should do.
28 Un Jozuas sadedzināja Aju un to padarīja par mūžīgu postažas vietu līdz šai dienai.
Joshua and his soldiers burned Ai city and caused it to become a pile of ruins. It is still like that today.
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.
Joshua hanged the king of Ai on a tree and left his corpse hanging there until the evening. At sunset Joshua told his men to take the king’s corpse down from the tree and to throw it on the ground at the city gate. [After they did that], they piled a lot of rocks on top of the corpse, and that pile of rocks is still there.
30 Tad Jozuas uztaisīja altāri Tam Kungam, Israēla Dievam, Ebala kalnā,
Joshua [told his men to] build on Ebal Mountain an altar for Yahweh, the God [who is worshiped by] the Israeli people.
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.
They built it just like Moses, the man who served God [well], had written previously in the laws [that God had given to him]. They made it from stones that had not been cut using iron tools. The Israelis then offered sacrifices to Yahweh that were burned completely on the altar. They also offered sacrifices to restore fellowship with Yahweh.
32 Un viņš rakstīja uz tiem akmeņiem norakstu no Mozus bauslības, ko šis bija rakstījis priekš Israēla bērniem.
As the Israelis watched, Joshua wrote on stones the laws that [Yahweh had given] to Moses previously.
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.
The Israeli leaders, the officials, the judges, and other Israelis were there, standing nearby. Many people who were not Israelis were also there. Half of the people stood [on one side of the valley] below Ebal Mountain, and the other half of the people stood [on the other side of the valley] below Gerizim Mountain. The sacred chest was [in the valley] between the two groups. That was what Moses had previously commanded that the people should do when [Yahweh was about to] bless them.
34 Un pēc tam viņš izlasīja visus bauslības vārdus, svētību un lāstu, kā bauslības grāmatā stāv rakstīts.
Then Joshua read [to the people] all that [Moses] had written previously. That included what Yahweh had taught them and the ways [that he promised] to bless them [if they obeyed his commands], or to curse them [if they disobeyed them].
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.
All the Israelis gathered together [to listen]—the men, the women, and the children. The (foreigners/people who were not Israelis) who were living among them also listened, while Joshua read all the commands that Moses had written.
