Iyyaasuu 8
1 Ergasiis Waaqayyo Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe; “Hin sodaatin yookaan abdii hin kutatin. Loltoota hunda fudhadhuutii ol baʼii magaalaa Aayi loli. Ani kunoo mootii Aayi, nama isaa, magaalaa isaatii fi biyya isaa harka keetti dabarsee kenneeraatii.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Fear not, nor be timorous: take with you all the men of war, and arise, go up to Gai; behold, I have given into your hands the king of Gai, and his land.
2 Akkuma Yerikoo fi mootii ishee goote sana, Aayii fi mootii ishee illee goota; yeroo kana garuu boojuu fi horii ishee ofii keessanii fudhachuu dandeessu. Nama riphee magaalattii eegu karaa duubaatiin kaaʼi.”
And you shall do to Gai, as you did to Jericho and its king; and you shall take to yourself the spoil of its cattle; set now for yourself an ambush for the city behind.
3 Iyyaasuu fi loltoonni hundinuus kaʼanii Aayin loluuf baʼan. Innis loltoota isaa warra jajjaboo keessaa nama kuma soddoma filatee halkaniin erge;
And Joshua and all the men of war rose to go up to Gai; and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men, and he sent them away by night.
4 akkanas jedhee isaan ajaje: “Mee qalbiidhaan na dhagaʼaa. Isin boroo magaalaatti riphxu. Guddiftanii irraa hin fagaatinaa. Hundi keessan qophaaʼaa.
And he charged them, saying, Do you lie in ambush behind the city: do not go far from the city, and you shall all be ready.
5 Anii fi warri na wajjin jiran hundi magaalaa sanatti dhiʼaanna; yommuu namoonni akkuma duraa sana fuula duraan nutti dhufan nu isaan duraa baqanna.
Land I and all with me will draw near to the city: and it shall come to pass when the inhabitants of Gai shall come forth to meet us, as before, that we will flee from before them.
6 Isaanis sababii, ‘Jarri kun akkuma duraa sana nu baqachaa jiru’ nuun jedhaniif, hamma nu magaalaa sana irraa isaan fageessinutti nu duukaa buʼu. Kanaafuu yommuu nu isaan baqannutti,
And when they shall come out after us, we will draw them away from the city; and they will say, These men flee from before us, as also before.
7 isin immoo iddoo itti riphxanii kaatanii magaalaa sana qabattu. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessanis magaalaa sana harka keessanitti dabarsee ni kenna.
And you shall rise up out of the ambuscade, and go into the city.
8 Isin yommuu magaalaa sana qabattanitti ibidda itti qabsiisaa. Waan kanas akkuma Waaqayyo ajajetti hojjedhaa. Kunoo ani isin ajajeera.”
You shall do according to this word, behold! I have commanded you.
9 Ergasii Iyyaasuun isaan erge; isaanis gara iddoo itti riphan kan gama baʼa Aayitiin Beetʼeelii fi Aayi gidduu jiru sanaa dhaqan; Iyyaasuun garuu halkan sana uummata wajjin bule.
And Joshua sent them, and they went to lie in ambush; and they lay between Baethel and Gai, westward of Gai.
10 Guyyaa itti aanu ganama barii Iyyaasuun namoota ofii isaa walitti qabatee innii fi maanguddoonni Israaʼel namoota dura Aayitti ol qajeelan.
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people; and he went up, he and the elders before the people to Gai.
11 Loltoonni isa wajjin turan hundinuu ol baʼanii fuula duraan magaalattiitti dhiʼaatanii karaa kaaba Aayitiin qubatan. Sululli tokkos isaanii fi magaalattii gidduutti argama ture.
And all the men of war went up with him, and they went forward and came over against the city eastward.
12 Iyyaasuun nama gara kuma shan fudhatee gama lixa magaalattiitiin Beetʼeelii fi Aayi gidduutti riphsiise.
And the ambuscade [was] on the west side of the city.
13 Isaanis namoota, jechuunis loltoota gama kaaba magaalattiitiin turan hundaa fi warra dugda duubaan gama lixaatiin riphanii turan iddoo iddoo isaanii qabsiisan. Iyyaasuun garuu gara sululaatti gad buʼee halkan sana achi bule.
14 Mootiin Aayi yommuu waan kana argetti, innii fi namoonni magaalaa sanaa hundinuu iddoo Arabbaan olii tokkotti Israaʼelootaan wal waraanuuf ganama bariin ariifatanii baʼan. Inni garuu akka waraanni riphee dugda magaalaa sanaa duubaan isa eeggatu hin beekne.
And it came to pass when the king of Gai saw [it], he hasted and went out to meet them direct to the battle, he and all the people [that were] with him: and he knew not that there was an ambuscade [formed] against him behind the city.
15 Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni hundi waan ariʼaman of fakkeessanii dugda duubatti deebiʼanii fuula isaanii dura gara gammoojjiitti baqatan.
And Joshua and Israel saw, and retreated from before them.
16 Namoonni Aayi hundinuus akka Israaʼeloota ariʼaniif walitti waamaman; isaanis Iyyaasuu faana buʼanii akkasiin magaalattii irraa fageeffaman.
And they pursued after the children of Israel, and they themselves went to a distance from the city.
17 Namni Israaʼeloota faana buʼee ariʼuuf hin baʼin tokko iyyuu Aayi yookaan Beetʼeel keessatti hin hafne. Magaalattiis eegumsa malee hambisanii Israaʼeloota ariʼuuf baʼan.
There was no one left in Gai who did not pursue after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
18 Waaqayyos Iyyaasuudhaan, “Sababii ani magaalattii harka keetti dabarsee kennuuf, eeboo harkaa qabdu gara Aayitti deebifadhu” jedhe. Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun eeboo isaa gara Aayitti deebifate.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Stretch forth your hand with the spear that is in your hand toward the city, for I have delivered it into your hands; and the liers in wait shall rise up quickly out of their place.
19 Akkuma inni waan kana godheen warri riphanii eeggachaa turan sun dafanii iddoo isaaniitii kaʼanii fuul duratti fiigan. Isaanis magaalattii seenanii qabatan; dafaniis ibidda itti qabsiisan.
And Joshua stretched out his hand [and] his spear toward the city, and the ambuscade rose up quickly out of their place; and they came forth when he stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and burnt the city with fire.
20 Namoonni Aayi yommuu garagalanii of duuba ilaalanitti aara magaalattii kan samiitti ol kaʼu argan; garuu sababii Israaʼeloonni duraan gara gammoojjiitti baqatan sun amma warra isaan ariʼaa jiranitti garagalaniif, jarri eessumattuu baqachuuf carraa tokko illee hin arganne.
And when the inhabitants of Gai looked round behind them, then they saw the smoke going up out of the city to heaven, and they were no longer able to flee this way or that way.
21 Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni hundinuu yommuu akka warri riphee eeggachaa ture sun magaalattii qabatee fi akka aarri magaalattii irraa kaʼu arganitti of irra garagalanii namoota Aayi dhaʼan.
And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambuscade had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up to heaven; and they turned and struck the men of Gai.
22 Namoonni riphanii turanis magaalaadhaa baʼanii isaanitti dhufan; kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni gamanaa gamasiin isaan marsanii jarri Israaʼeloota gidduutti qabaman. Israaʼeloonnis akka namni tokko iyyuu hin hafneef yookaan baqatee hin miliqneef isaan fixan.
And these came forth out of the city to meet them; and they were in the midst of the army, some [being] on this side, and some on that; and they struck them until there was not left of them one who survived and escaped.
23 Mootii Aayi garuu lubbuudhumaan qabanii Iyyaasuutti fidan.
And they took the king of Gai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
24 Israaʼeloonni yommuu dhiirota Aayi hunda dirree fi gammoojjii jarri itti Israaʼeloota ariʼan sanatti qalanii isaan fixanitti, Israaʼeloonni hundinuu gara Aayitti dachaʼanii warra achitti hafes goraadeedhaan barbadeessan.
And when the children of Israel had ceased slaying all that were in Gai, and in the fields, and in the mountain on the descent, from whence they pursued them [even] to the end, then Joshua returned to Gai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.
25 Namoonni Aayi kanneen gaafasi dhuman dhiiraa dubartiin kuma kudha lama turan.
And they that fell in that day, men and women, were twelve thousand: [they killed] all the inhabitants of Gai.
26 Iyyaasuun hamma namoota Aayi keessa jiraatan hunda fixutti harka isaa kan diriirfatee ittiin eeboo qabate sana hin dachaafanne tureetii.
27 Israaʼel garuu akkuma Waaqayyo Iyyaasuu ajajetti horii fi boojuu magaalattii qofa fudhate.
Beside the spoils that were in the city, all things which the children of Israel took as spoil for themselves according to the command of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Joshua.
28 Akkasitti Iyyaasuun Aayin gubee tuulaa daaraa godhe hambise; hamma harʼaattis isheen akkuma barbadooftetti jirti.
And Joshua burnt the city with fire: he made it an uninhabited heap for ever, [even] to this day.
29 Innis mootii Aayi muka irratti fannisee hamma biiftuun lixxutti achumatti isa dhiise. Iyyaasuun yommuu aduun dhiitetti akka isaan reeffa isaa muka irraa gad buusanii karra magaalattii duratti darbatan isaan ajaje. Isaanis tuulaa dhagaa guddaa hamma harʼaattis jiru reeffa sana irratti tuulan.
And he hanged the king of Gai on a gallows; and he remained on the tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave charge, and they took down his body from the tree, and cast it into a pit, and they set over him a heap of stones until this day.
30 Ergasii Iyyaasuun Tulluu Eebaal irratti Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif iddoo aarsaa ijaare.
Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel in mount Gaebal,
31 Iddoo aarsaa kanas akkuma Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo Israaʼeloota ajaje sanatti hojjete. Innis akkuma Kitaaba Seera Musee keessatti barreeffametti dhagaa hin soofamin kan sibiilli hin tuqiniin hojjete; isa irrattis aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessanii aarsaa nagaas Waaqayyoof qalan.
as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, on which iron had not been lifted up; and he offered there whole burnt offerings to the Lord, and a peace-offering.
32 Iyyaasuunis achumatti fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti, seera Museen barreessee ture sana dhagaa irratti garagalche.
And Joshua wrote upon the stones a copy of the law, even the law of Moses, before the children of Israel.
33 Israaʼeloonni hundinuu, alagaa fi dhalataan biyyaa, maanguddoota isaanii wajjin, ajajjoota loltootaatii fi abbootii seeraa wajjin, Lewwota luboota taʼan kanneen taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baatan sanatti fuula deebifatanii bitaa mirgaan dhadhaabatan. Akkuma Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo akka isaan saba Israaʼel eebbisaniif jalqabatti isaan ajaje sanatti walakkaan isaanii Tulluu Gerziim dura dhadhaabatanii walakkaan isaanii immoo Tulluu Eebaal dura dhadhaabatan.
And all Israel, and their elders, and their judges, and their scribes, passed on one side and on the other before the ark; and the priests and the Levites took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the stranger and the native were there, who were half of them near mount Garizin, and half near mount Gaebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded at first, to bless the people.
34 Ergasiis Iyyaasuun akkuma Kitaaba Seeraa keessatti barreeffametti dubbii seeraa hunda kan eebbaatii fi kan abaarsaa ni dubbise.
And afterwards Joshua read accordingly all the words of this law, the blessings and the curses, according to all things written in the law of Moses.
35 Dubbii Museen isa ajaje hunda keessaa wanni Iyyaasuun waldaa Israaʼel hundaaf akkasumas dubartootaaf, daaʼimmanii fi alagoota gidduu isaanii jiraataniif utuu hin dubbisin bira darbe tokko iyyuu hin turre.
There was not a word of all that Moses charged Joshua, which Joshua read not in the ears of all the assembly of the children of Israel, the men, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that joined themselves to Israel.
