Yashuuca 8
1 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Ha cabsan, hana qalbi jabin. Ragga dagaalyahannada ah oo dhan kaxayso, oo kac oo waxaad tagtaa xagga Aacii, oo bal eeg, adigaan gacanta ku geliyey boqorka Aacii, iyo dadkiisa, iyo magaaladiisa, iyo dalkiisaba;
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 oo Aacii iyo boqorkeedaba waxaad ku samaysaa wixii aad ku samaysay Yerixoo iyo boqorkeedii; alaabteeda iyo xoolaheedase waa inaad dhacdaan oo qaadataan. Oo magaalada xagga dambe ka gaad.
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 Sidaas daraaddeed Yashuuca waa kacay, isagii iyo raggii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhammu, si ay Aacii u tagaan, oo Yashuuca wuxuu dooray soddon kun oo nin oo ah rag xoog leh, oo wuxuu diray goor habeennimo ah.
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 Oo wuxuu ku amray oo ku yidhi, Bal maqla, waxaad gaaddaan magaalada xaggeeda dambe, oo ha ka fogaanina magaalada, laakiinse kulligiin diyaar ahaada;
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 oo aniga iyo dadka ila jira oo dhammuba waxaannu u dhowaan doonnaa magaalada, oo markay dibadda noogu soo baxaan sida kolkii ugu horraysay, waannu ka carari doonnaa hortooda.
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 Markaasay na soo eryan doonaan ilaa aannu iyaga magaalada ka fogayno; waayo, waxay is-odhan doonaan, Sidii markii ugu horraysay bay naga cararayaan, oo sidaasaannu uga hor carari doonnaa iyaga.
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 Oo markaas waa inaad gaadmada ka timaadaan, oo aad magaalada qabsataan, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa gacanta idiin gelin doona iyada.
you are to rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
8 Oo markii aad magaalada qabsataan, waa inaad dab qabadsiisaan magaalada, oo waxaad yeeshaan si waafaqsan ereyga Rabbiga; bal eega, sidaasaan idinku amraye.
And when you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do as the LORD has commanded! See, I have given you orders.”
9 Markaasaa Yashuuca iyagii diray; oo waxay tageen meeshii gaadmada, oo waxay joogeen meel u dhaxaysa Beytel iyo Aacii, oo galbeed ka xigta Aacii; laakiinse habeenkaas Yashuuca dadkii buu ku dhex baryay.
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 Kolkaasaa Yashuuca aroor hore kacay, oo dadkii isu ururiyey, oo isagii iyo waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil waxay dadkii u hor kaceen xaggii Aacii.
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 Oo dadkii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhan oo ah kuwii isaga la jiray way wada tageen oo intay soo dhowaadeen ayay magaaladii hor yimaadeen, oo waxay degeen dhinaca woqooyi oo Aacii; oo dooxo baa u dhexaysay isaga iyo Aacii.
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 Markaasuu wuxuu kaxaystay rag shan kun ku dhow, oo wuxuu gaadmo u diray meel u dhexaysa Beytel iyo Aacii, oo magaalada ka xigta xagga galbeed.
Now Joshua had taken about five thousand men and set up an ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of the city.
13 Markaasay diyaariyeen dadkii oo dhan, xataa ciidankii magaalada xagga woqooyi ka xigay oo dhan, iyo kuwoodii gaadmada ugu qarsoonaa magaalada xaggeeda galbeed, oo Yashuucana habeenkaas wuxuu dhaxay dooxadii dhexdeeda.
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 Oo markii boqorkii Aacii taas arkay, ayay isaga iyo dadkiisa oo dhammu aroor hore keceen oo dhaqsadeen, oo markaasay dadkii magaaladu dagaal ugu bexeen reer binu Israa'iil wakhtigii la yidhi, oo waxay wada tageen meel ka horraysa Caraabaah, laakiinse ma uu ogayn in rag gaadmo ugu qarsoon yahay magaalada dabadeeda.
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 Markaasaa Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay iska dhigeen sidii iyagoo laga adkaaday, oo waxay ku carareen xaggii jidka cidlada.
Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten back before them, and they fled toward the wilderness.
16 Markaasaa dadkii magaalada joogay oo dhan waxaa loogu wada yeedhay inay eryadaan reer binu Israa'iil, oo intay Yashuuca eryanayeen ayaa iyagii laga fogeeyey magaaladii.
Then all the men of Ai were summoned to pursue them, and they followed Joshua and were drawn away from the city.
17 Oo nin keliyahu kuma hadhin Aacii iyo Beytel toona, oo aan daba gelin reer binu Israa'iil; oo magaaladii oo furan bay ka tageen, oo waxay eryadeen reer binu Israa'iil.
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 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Waranka gacantaada ku jira xagga Aacii ku taag, waayo, adigaan gacanta kuu gelin doonaa Aacii. Markaasaa Yashuuca warankii gacantiisa ku jiray wuxuu ku taagay xaggii magaalada.
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 Markaasaa haddiiba raggii gaadmada u qarsoonaa ka soo bexeen meeshoodii ay ku jireen, oo markuu gacanta taagay ayay haddiiba soo ordeen, oo waxay galeen magaaladii, wayna qabsadeen; oo intay dhaqsadeen ayay magaaladii dab qabadsiiyeen.
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 Oo dadkii reer Aacii markay dib u eegeen ayay waxay arkeen qiiqii magaalada oo samada kor ugu baxaya, oo mana ay lahayn xoog ay ugu cararaan xaggan ama xaggaa; oo dadkii u cararay xagga cidlada waxay dib ugu soo jeesteen raacdadii daba joogtay.
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 Oo markii Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu arkeen in raggii gaadmada ahaa ay magaaladii qabsadeen, iyo in magaalada qiiqeedii kor u baxay, ayay dib u soo noqdeen, oo waxay laayeen dadkii reer Aacii.
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 Oo kuwii kalena waxay iyaga kaga soo bexeen magaaladii, sidaas daraaddeed waxay ku dhex jireen reer binu Israa'iil, iyadoo qaarna dhinacan ka xigo, qaarna dhinacaas ka xigo; oo way wada laayeen, oo midna kama reebin, qofna kama baxsan.
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 Oo boqorkii Aacii isagoo nool bay qabteen, oo waxay u keeneen Yashuuca.
But they took the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.
24 Oo markii reer binu Israa'iil dhammeeyeen oo ay dadkii Aacii degganaan jiray ku wada laayeen duurkii, iyo cidladii ay u eryadeen, oo ay seef ku wada le'deen ilaa ay wada baabbe'een, ayaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku soo noqdeen Aacii xaggeedii, oo waxay ku laayeen seef.
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 Oo intii maalintaas le'atay rag iyo dumarba waxay ahaayeen laba iyo toban kun, oo intaasuna waxay ahayd dadkii reer Aacii oo dhan.
A total of twelve thousand men and women fell that day—all the people of Ai.
26 Waayo, Yashuuca gacantii uu waranka ku taagay dib uma celin ilaa uu wada baabbi'iyey dadkii Aacii degganaa oo dhan.
Joshua did not draw back the hand that held his battle lance until he had devoted to destruction all who lived in Ai.
27 Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay keliyahoo dheceen xoolihii iyo alaabtii magaalada, sidii erayga Rabbiga uu Yashuuca ku amray ahaa.
Israel took for themselves only the cattle and plunder of that city, as the LORD had commanded Joshua.
28 Sidaasaa Yashuuca u gubay Aacii, oo wuxuu ka dhigay tuulmo cidla weligeed ah ilaa maantadan la joogo.
So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolation to this day.
29 Oo boqorkii Aaciina geed buu ka soo deldelay, oo wuxuu sudhnaa ilaa makhribkii, oo qorraxdhicii ayaa Yashuuca amray, markaasay meydkiisii geedkii ka soo dejiyeen, oo waxay ku tuureen iridda magaalada laga soo galo, oo waxay ku tuuleen dhagaxyo badan oo jira ilaa maantadan.
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 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil Buur Ceebaal uga dhisay meel allabari,
At that time Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal to the LORD, the God of Israel,
31 sidii addoonkii Rabbiga oo Muuse ahaa reer binu Israa'iil ugu amray, iyo sida ku qoran kitaabkii sharciga Muuse, oo waxay ahayd meel allabari oo ah dhagaxyo aan la qorin oo aan ninna bir u qaadin; oo waxay Rabbiga ugu kor bixiyeen qurbaanno la gubo, iyo qurbaanno nabaadiino.
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 Oo wuxuu dhagaxyadii ku qoray naqil sharcigii Muuse ah oo uu ku qoray reer binu Israa'iil hortooda.
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 Oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan iyo waayeelladoodii, iyo saraakiishoodii, iyo xaakinnadoodiiba, waxay istaageen sanduuqii dhankiisa shishe iyo dhankiisa soke oo ka horreeya wadaaddada reer Laawi oo siday sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga, qariibka iyo kii waddanka ku dhashayba, oo badhkood wuxuu is-hor taagay Buur Gerisiim, badhkoodii kalena wuxuu is-hor taagay Buur Ceebaal sidii addoonkii Rabbiga oo Muuse ahaa ku amray inay marka hore u duceeyaan reer binu Israa'iil.
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 Oo dabadeedna wuxuu akhriyey erayadii sharciga oo dhan, ducadii iyo habaarkiiba, siday ahaayeen wixii ku qornaa kitaabkii sharciga oo dhan.
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 Oo ma jirin eray Muuse amray oo aan Yashuuca ku hor akhriyin shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo dumarkii, iyo dhallaankii, iyo kuwii qariibka ahaa oo iyaga dhex socdayba.
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.
