Yoshua 8
1 Yahweh akamwambia Yoshua, “Usiogope; usivunjike moyo. Chukua pamoja nawe watu wa vita. Pandeni kwenda Ai. Tazama nimemtia mkononi mwako mfalme wa Ai, watu wake, mji wake na nchi yake.
and to say LORD to(wards) Joshua not to fear and not to to be dismayed to take: take with you [obj] all people: soldiers [the] battle and to arise: rise to ascend: rise [the] Ai to see: behold! to give: give in/on/with hand: power your [obj] king [the] Ai and [obj] people his and [obj] city his and [obj] land: country/planet his
2 Mtafanya hivyo pia huko Ai na mfalme wake kama mlivyofanya kwa Yeriko na mfalme wake, isipokuwa mtachukua nyara na mifugo kwa ajili yenu. Pangeni mashambulizi ya uviziaji nyuma ya mji.”
and to make: do to/for Ai and to/for king her like/as as which to make: do to/for Jericho and to/for king her except spoil her and animal her to plunder to/for you to set: put to/for you to ambush to/for city from after her
3 Basi Yoshua aliinuka na akawachukua kwenda Ai watu wote wa vita. Kisha Yoshua akachagua watu elfu thelathini - wenye nguvu na ujasiri - na aliwatuma waende wakati wa usiku.
and to arise: rise Joshua and all people: soldiers [the] battle to/for to ascend: rise [the] Ai and to choose Joshua thirty thousand man mighty man [the] strength and to send: depart them night
4 Aliwaamuru, “Tazama, mtalala katika hali ya mashambulizi ya uviziaji dhidi ya mji, kwa nyuma yake. Usiende mbali sana na mji, lakini ninyi nyote muwe tayari.
and to command [obj] them to/for to say to see: behold! you(m. p.) to ambush to/for city from after [the] city not to remove from [the] city much and to be all your to establish: prepare
5 Mimi pamoja na watu wote walio pamoja nami tutaukaribia mji. Na wakati watakapokuja kutushambulia sisi, tutawakimbia kama tulivyofanya hapo mwanzo.
and I and all [the] people which with me to present: come to(wards) [the] city and to be for to come out: come to/for to encounter: toward us like/as as which in/on/with first: previous and to flee to/for face: before their
6 Watatoka nje watukimbize mpaka hapo tutakapokuwa tumewavuta mbali sana na mji, watasema, “Wanatukimbia kama walivyofanya mara ya mwisho.' Hivyo tutawakimbia na kwenda mbali.
and to come out: come after us till to tear we [obj] them from [the] city for to say to flee to/for face: before our like/as as which in/on/with first: previous and to flee to/for face: before their
7 Kisha mtapanda kutoka sehemu mliyojificha, na mtauteka mji. Yahweh Mungu wenu atawapa mkononi mwenu.
and you(m. p.) to arise: rise from [the] to ambush and to possess: take [obj] [the] city and to give: give her LORD God your in/on/with hand: power your
8 Tazama nimewaamuru, mtakapouteka mji, mtauchoma moto. Mtayafanya haya wakati mtakapotii agizo lililotolewa katika neno la Yahweh.”
and to be like/as to capture you [obj] [the] city to kindle [obj] [the] city in/on/with fire like/as word LORD to make: do to see: behold! to command [obj] you
9 Yoshua akawatuma, na wakaenda sehemu ya uviziajia, na wakajificha kati ya Betheli na Ai sehemu ya magharibi ya Ai. Yoshua akalala miongoni mwa watu usiku ule.
and to send: depart them Joshua and to go: went to(wards) [the] ambush and to dwell between Bethel Bethel and between [the] Ai from sea: west to/for Ai and to lodge Joshua in/on/with night [the] he/she/it in/on/with midst [the] people
10 Yoshua aliamka asubuhi na mapema na akawaandaa tayari wanajeshi wake, Yoshua na wazee wa Israeli walishambuliwa watu wa Ai.
and to rise Joshua in/on/with morning and to reckon: list [obj] [the] people and to ascend: rise he/she/it and old: elder Israel to/for face: before [the] people [the] Ai
11 Watu wote wa vita waliokuwa pamoja naye walipanda na kuukaribia mji. Walisogea karibu na mji na wakapiga kambi sehemu ya kasikazini mwa Ai. Kulikuwa na bonde kati yao na Ai.
and all [the] people: soldiers [the] battle which with him to ascend: rise and to approach: approach and to come (in): towards before [the] city and to camp from north to/for Ai and [the] valley (between him *Q(k)*) and between [the] Ai
12 Alichukua watu wapatao elfu tano hivi na akawaweka katika hali ya kuvizia katika upande wa magharibi mwa mji kati ya Betheli na Ai.
and to take: take like/as five thousand man and to set: make [obj] them to ambush between Bethel Bethel and between [the] Ai from sea: west to/for city
13 Waliwapanga wanajeshi wote, jeshi kuu katika upande wa kasikazini mwa mji, na walinzi wa nyuma upande wa magharibi mwa mji. Yoshua alilala bondeni usiku ule.
and to set: put [the] people: soldiers [obj] all [the] camp which from north to/for city and [obj] heel his from sea: west to/for city and to go: continue Joshua in/on/with night [the] he/she/it in/on/with midst [the] valley
14 Na ilikuwa alipoona hilo mfalme wa Ai, yeye pamoja na jeshi lake, waliamka asubuhi na mapema na walitoka kwa haraka kwenda kuwashambulia Israeli katika eneo linalokabili bonde la Mto Yordani. Hakujua kuwa kulikuwa na shambulizi la kuvizia lilikuwa linasubiria kushambulia kutokea kwa nyuma ya mji.
and to be like/as to see: see king [the] Ai and to hasten and to rise and to come out: come human [the] city to/for to encounter: toward Israel to/for battle he/she/it and all people his to/for meeting: time appointed to/for face: before [the] Arabah and he/she/it not to know for to ambush to/for him from after [the] city
15 Yoshua na Waisraeli wote walikubali wenyewe kushindwa mbele yenu, na wakakimbia kuelekea nyikani.
and to touch Joshua and all Israel to/for face: before their and to flee way: direction [the] wilderness
16 Watu wote waliokuwa kwenye mji waliitwa kwa pamoja waende mbele yao, na walienda mbele ya Yoshua na kwa jinsi hiyo walivutwa mbali na mji.
and to cry out all [the] people which (in/on/with Ai *Q(K)*) to/for to pursue after them and to pursue after Joshua and to tear from [the] city
17 Hapakuwa na mtu mme aliyesalia Ai na Betheli ambaye alikuwa hajaenda nje kuwafuatilia waisraeli. Na walipokuwa wanawafuatilia Waisraeli, Wakatoka na waliuacha mji wazi.
and not to remain man: anyone in/on/with Ai and Bethel Bethel which not to come out: come after Israel and to leave: forsake [obj] [the] city to open and to pursue after Israel
18 Yahweh akamwambia Yoshua, “Nyosha mkuki huo ulio mkononi mwako kuelekea Ai, kwa kuwa nitaitia Ai mikononi mwako.” Yoshua akaunyosha mkuki uliokuwa mkononi mwake kuuelekea mji.
and to say LORD to(wards) Joshua to stretch in/on/with javelin which in/on/with hand your to(wards) [the] Ai for in/on/with hand your to give: give her and to stretch Joshua in/on/with javelin which in/on/with hand his to(wards) [the] city
19 Wanajeshi waliojificha katika hali ya kuvizia walitoka upesi katika eneo lao mara tu alipounyosha mkono wake. Walikimbia mbio na kuuingia mji na kuuteka. Na kwa haraka wakauchoma moto mji.
and [the] to ambush to arise: rise haste from place his and to run: run like/as to stretch hand his and to come (in): come [the] city and to capture her and to hasten and to kindle [obj] [the] city in/on/with fire
20 Watu wa Ai waligeuka na kuangalia nyuma. Waliona moshi kutoka katika mji ukipanda kwenda angani, na hawakuweza kutoroka kwa njia hii au ile. Kwa kuwa wanajeshi wa Israelei waliokuwa wamekimbia katika nyika, sasa walirudi kuwakabili wale waliokuwa wanawafuatilia.
and to turn human [the] Ai after them and to see: behold! and behold to ascend: rise smoke [the] city [the] heaven [to] and not to be in/on/with them hand: power to/for to flee here/thus and here/thus and [the] people [the] to flee [the] wilderness to overturn to(wards) [the] to pursue
21 Na wakati Yoshua na Israeli wote walipoona kuwa wale watu wa kuvizia wameuteka mji kwa ule moshi uliokuwa ukipanda, waligeuka nyuma na kuwaua watu wa Ai.
and Joshua and all Israel to see: see for to capture [the] to ambush [obj] [the] city and for to ascend: rise smoke [the] city and to return: return and to smite [obj] human [the] Ai
22 Na wanajeshi wengine wa Israeli, wale waliokuwa wameingia ndani ya mji, walitoka nje ili kuwashambulia. Hivyo, watu wa Ai walikamatwa katikati ya majeshi ya Israeli, baadhi katika upande huu na wengine katika upande ule.
and these to come out: come from [the] city to/for to encounter: toward them and to be to/for Israel in/on/with midst these from this and these from this and to smite [obj] them till lest to remain to/for him survivor and survivor
23 Lakini walimhifadhi mfalme wa Ai, ambaye walimteka akiwa hai, na kisha wakamleta kwa Yoshua.
and [obj] king [the] Ai to capture alive and to present: bring [obj] him to(wards) Joshua
24 Ilikuwa baada ya Israeli walipokuwa wamemaliza kuuwaua wenyeji wote wa Ai katika uwanda kariibu na nyika mahali walipowafuata, na baada ya wao wote, hata yule wa mwisho, walipokuwa wamekwisha kulala kwa ncha ya upanga, Waisraeli wote walirudi Ai. Waliuteka mji kwa ncha ya upanga.
and to be like/as to end: finish Israel to/for to kill [obj] all to dwell [the] Ai in/on/with land: country in/on/with wilderness which to pursue them in/on/with him and to fall: kill all their to/for lip: edge sword till to finish they and to return: return all Israel [the] Ai and to smite [obj] her to/for lip: edge sword
25 Wale wote walikufa siku hiyo walikuwa watu elfu kumi na mbili elfu, wanaume na wanawake, wote ni watu wa Ai.
and to be all [the] to fall: kill in/on/with day [the] he/she/it from man and till woman two ten thousand all human [the] Ai
26 Yoshua hakuukunja mkono wake ambao alikuwa ameunyosha huku akishikilia mkuki wake, mpaka pale alipowateketeza kabisa watu wote wa Ai.
and Joshua not to return: return hand his which to stretch in/on/with javelin till which to devote/destroy [obj] all to dwell [the] Ai
27 Waisraeli walichukua tu wanyama na nyara kutoka katika mji kwa ajili yao wenyewe, kama Yahweh alivyokuwa amemwagiza Yoshua.
except [the] animal and spoil [the] city [the] he/she/it to plunder to/for them Israel like/as word LORD which to command [obj] Joshua
28 Yoshua aliichoma Ai na kuigeuza kuwa kichuguu cha mapango. Ni mahali palipoachwa ukiwa hata leo.
and to burn Joshua [obj] [the] Ai and to set: make her mound forever: enduring devastation till [the] day: today [the] this
29 Alimtundika mfalme wa Ai juu ya mti mpaka jioni. Na jua lilipokuwa linaenda kuzama, Yoshua aliwaagiza na wakautoa mwili wa mfalme wakaushusha chini ya mti na kuutupa mbele ya malango ya mji. Huko wakaweka kichuguu kikubwa cha mawe juu yake. Kichuguu hicho kimebaki huko hata leo.
and [obj] king [the] Ai to hang upon [the] tree till time [the] evening and like/as to come (in): besiege [the] sun to command Joshua and to go down [obj] carcass his from [the] tree and to throw [obj] her to(wards) entrance gate [the] city and to arise: raise upon him heap stone great: large till [the] day: today [the] this
30 Kisha Yoshua akajenga madhabahu kwa Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli katika Mlima wa Ebali,
then to build Joshua altar to/for LORD God Israel in/on/with mountain: mount (Mount) Ebal
31 kama vile Musa mtumishi wa Yahweh alivyowaagiza watu wa Israeli, kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha sheria ya Musa: “Madhabahu ya mawe yasiyochongwa, ambayo juu yake hakuna mtu yeyote aliyetumia zana ya chuma.” Na allimtolea Yahweh sadaka ya kuteketezwa juu yake na wakatoa sadaka ya amani.
like/as as which to command Moses servant/slave LORD [obj] son: descendant/people Israel like/as to write in/on/with scroll: book instruction Moses altar stone complete which not to wave upon them iron and to ascend: offer up upon him burnt offering to/for LORD and to sacrifice peace offering
32 Na huko aliandika juu ya mawe nakala ya sheria za Musa mbele ya watu wa Israeli.
and to write there upon [the] stone [obj] second instruction Moses which to write to/for face son: descendant/people Israel
33 Waisraeli wote, wazee wao, maafisa, na waamuzi wao walisimama katika sehemu mbili za sanduku mbele ya makuhani na Walawi ambao hulibeba sanduku la Agano la Yahweh - wageni pamoja na wazalia, nusu yao walisimama mbele ya Mlima Gerizimu na nusu walisimama mbele ya Mlima Ebali. Waliwabariki watu wa Israeli kama Musa mtumishi wa Yahweh alivyowaagiza hapo mwanzo.
and all Israel and old: elder his and official and to judge him to stand: stand from this and from this to/for ark before [the] priest [the] Levi to lift: bear ark covenant LORD like/as sojourner like/as born half his to(wards) opposite mountain: mount (Mount) Gerizim and [the] half his to(wards) opposite mountain: mount (Mount) Ebal like/as as which to command Moses servant/slave LORD to/for to bless [obj] [the] people Israel in/on/with first: previous
34 Baada ya hayo, Yoshua alisoma maneno yote ya sheria, baraka na laana, kama zilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha sheria.
and after so to call: read out [obj] all word [the] instruction [the] blessing and [the] curse like/as all [the] to write in/on/with scroll: book [the] instruction
35 Halikusalia hata neno moja katika yote ambayo Musa alimwagiza Yoshua ambalo halikusomwa mbele ya kusanyiko la Waisraeli lilojumuisha wanawake, watoto wadogo na wageni walioishi miongoni mwao.
not to be word from all which to command Moses which not to call: read out Joshua before all assembly Israel and [the] woman and [the] child and [the] sojourner [the] to go: walk in/on/with entrails: among their
