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;
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou discouraged: take with thee all the people of war, and arise, go up to 'Ai; see, I have given into thy hand the king of 'Ai, and his people, and 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 thou shalt do to 'Ai and to its king as thou hast done unto Jericho and its king; only its spoil and its cattle shall ye take for booty unto yourselves; but lay thee an ambush for the city in its rear.
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 arose, and all the people of war, to go up against 'Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by 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;
And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, in the rear of the city; go not very far from the city; and be ye all 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.
And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city; and it shall come to pass that, when they come out against us, as at the first time, we will flee before 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.
And they will come out after us, till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee from us as at the first time: and we will flee before them.
7 Oo markaas waa inaad gaadmada ka timaadaan, oo aad magaalada qabsataan, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa gacanta idiin gelin doona iyada.
And then shall ye rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; and the Lord your God will deliver it in 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 it shall be, that as soon as ye have seized the city, ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of the Lord shall ye do: see, I have commanded you.
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.
And Joshua sent them off: and they went to lie in ambush, and remained between Beth-el and 'Ai, on the west side of 'Ai; but Joshua lodged 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.
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people, toward '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.
And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew nigh, and came opposite the city, and encamped on the north side of 'Ai; and the valley was between them and 'Ai.
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.
And he took about five thousand men, and set them as an ambush between Beth-el and 'Ai, on the west side of 'Ai.
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.
And the people, all the camp that was on the north of the city, and its ambush on the west of the city got ready; and Joshua went that night into the midst of 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.
And it came to pass, when the king of 'Ai saw this, the men of the city hastened and rose up early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the plain; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him in the rear of 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.
And Joshua and Israel feigned themselves beaten before them, and fled by the way of 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.
And all the people that were in 'Ai were called together to pursue after them; and they pursued after 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.
And there was not a man left in 'Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after 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.
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward 'Ai; for into thy hand will I give it. And Joshua stretched out the spear which was in his hand toward the city.
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 the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city, and took possession of it, and hastened and set the city 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.
And the men of 'Ai turned [and looked] behind them, and they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven; and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that had fled to the wilderness turned back upon 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.
For when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had seized the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended: they turned back, and smote 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.
And the others issued out of the city against them; so that the Israelites had them in the middle, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, until there was not left of them one that remained or escaped.
23 Oo boqorkii Aacii isagoo nool bay qabteen, oo waxay u keeneen Yashuuca.
And the king of 'Ai they caught 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.
And it came to pass, that, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of 'Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had pursued them, and when they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, All the Israelites returned unto 'Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
25 Oo intii maalintaas le'atay rag iyo dumarba waxay ahaayeen laba iyo toban kun, oo intaasuna waxay ahayd dadkii reer Aacii oo dhan.
And [the number of] all that fell in that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand, 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.
And Joshua drew not back his hand, wherewith he had stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of 'Ai.
27 Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay keliyahoo dheceen xoolihii iyo alaabtii magaalada, sidii erayga Rabbiga uu Yashuuca ku amray ahaa.
Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty unto themselves, according to the word of the Lord which he had commanded Joshua.
28 Sidaasaa Yashuuca u gubay Aacii, oo wuxuu ka dhigay tuulmo cidla weligeed ah ilaa maantadan la joogo.
And Joshua burnt 'Ai, and made it a ruinous heap of desolation for ever, even unto 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.
And the king of 'Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide; and at the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took his carcass down from the tree and cast it at the entrance of the city gate, and they raised over him a great heap of stones, [which is] even unto this day.
30 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil Buur Ceebaal uga dhisay meel allabari,
Then did Joshua build an altar unto the Lord, the God of Israel on mount 'Ebal,
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.
As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no one had lifted up any iron tool; and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto the Lord, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
32 Oo wuxuu dhagaxyadii ku qoray naqil sharcigii Muuse ah oo uu ku qoray reer binu Israa'iil hortooda.
And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
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.
And all Israel, and their elders, and the officers, and their judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark, opposite the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, the stranger no less than the native born: half of them turned toward mount Gerizzim, and the other half of them turned toward mount 'Ebal; as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded, to bless the people of Israel at first.
34 Oo dabadeedna wuxuu akhriyey erayadii sharciga oo dhan, ducadii iyo habaarkiiba, siday ahaayeen wixii ku qornaa kitaabkii sharciga oo dhan.
And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, all, just as it 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, which Joshua did not read before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the stranger that walked in the midst of them.
