Josue 8
1 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, Huwag kang matakot, ni manglumo: ipagsama mo ang buong bayang pangdigma, at bumangon ka, na sumampa ka sa Hai: tingnan mo, aking ibinigay sa iyong kamay ang hari sa Hai, at ang kaniyang bayan, at ang kaniyang siyudad, at ang kaniyang lupain;
Then the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear and do not be troubled: take with you all the fighting-men and go up against Ai: for I have given into your hands the king of Ai and his people and his town and his land:
2 At iyong gagawin sa Hai at sa kaniyang hari ang gaya ng iyong ginawa sa Jerico at sa kaniyang hari: ang samsam lamang doon, at ang mga hayop niyaon, ang iyong kukunin na pinakasamsam ninyo: lagyan mo ng mga bakay ang bayan sa likuran.
And you are to do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king: but their goods and their cattle you may take for yourselves: let a secret force be stationed to make a surprise attack on the town from the back.
3 Sa gayo'y bumangon si Josue, at ang buong bayang pangdigma, upang sumampa sa Hai: at pumili si Josue ng tatlong pung libong lalake, na mga makapangyarihang lalaking matapang, at sinugo ng kinagabihan.
So Joshua and the fighting-men got ready to go up against Ai; and Joshua took thirty thousand men of war, and sent them out by night.
4 At iniutos niya sa kanila, na sinasabi, Narito, kayo'y babakay laban sa bayan, sa likuran ng bayan: huwag kayong lumayong totoo sa bayan kundi humanda kayo;
And he gave them their orders, saying, Go and take up your position secretly at the back of the town: do not go very far away, and let all of you be ready:
5 At ako, at ang buong bayan na kasama ko ay lalapit sa bayan. At mangyayari, na pagka sila'y lumabas laban sa amin gaya ng una, ay tatakas kami sa harap nila;
And I and all the people with me will come near the town, and when they come out against us as they did before, we will go in flight from them;
6 At sila'y lalabas na susunod sa amin, hanggang sa aming mailayo sila sa bayan, sapagka't kanilang sasabihin, Sila'y tumatakas sa harap natin, na gaya ng una; gayon kami tatakas sa harap nila:
And they will come out after us, till we have got them away from the town; for they will say, They have gone in flight from us as before; so we will go in flight before them;
7 At kayo'y babangon sa pagbakay, at inyong aariin ang bayan: sapagka't ibibigay ng Panginoon ninyong Dios sa inyong kamay.
Then you will get up from your secret position and take the town, for the Lord your God will give it up into your hands.
8 At mangyayari, na pagka inyong nasakop ang bayan, ay inyong sisilaban ng apoy ang bayan; ayon sa salita ng Panginoon ay inyong gagawin: narito, aking iniutos sa inyo.
And when you have taken the town, put fire to it, as the Lord has said: see, I have given you your orders.
9 At pinapagpaalam sila ni Josue: at sila'y yumaon sa pagbakay, at lumagay sa pagitan ng Beth-el at ng Hai, sa dakong kalunuran ng Hai: nguni't si Josue ay tumigil ng gabing yaon sa gitna ng bayan.
So Joshua sent them out: and they took up a secret position between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua kept with the people that night.
10 At si Josue ay bumangong maaga sa kinaumagahan, at binilang ang bayan, at sumampa siya at ang mga matanda ng Israel, sa unahan ng bayan, sa Hai.
And early in the morning Joshua got up, and put the people in order, and he and the chiefs of Israel went up before the people to Ai.
11 At ang buong bayan, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga taong pangdigma na kinasama niya, ay sumampa, at lumapit, at naparoon sa harap ng bayan, at humantong sa dakong hilagaan ng Hai: mayroon ngang isang libis sa pagitan niya at ng Hai.
And all the fighting-men who were with him went up and came near the town, and took up a position on the north side of Ai facing the town, with a valley between him and the town.
12 At siya'y kumuha ng may limang libong lalake at inilagay niya silang bakay sa pagitan ng Beth-el at ng Hai sa dakong kalunuran ng bayan.
And taking about five thousand men, he put them in position for a surprise attack on the west side of Ai, between Beth-el and Ai.
13 Gayon inilagay nila ang bayan, ang buong hukbo na nasa hilagaan ng bayan, at ang kanilang mga bakay na nasa kalunuran ng bayan; at si Josue ay naparoon ng gabing yaon sa gitna ng libis.
So all the people were in their places, the army on the north side of the town and the secret force on the west; and that night Joshua went down into the valley.
14 At nangyari, nang makita ng hari sa Hai, na sila'y nagmadali at bumangong maaga, at ang mga lalake sa bayan ay lumabas laban sa Israel upang makipagbaka, siya at ang kaniyang buong bayan, sa kapanahunang takda, sa harap ng Araba, nguni't hindi niya talastas na may bakay laban sa kaniya sa likuran ng bayan.
Now when the king of Ai saw it, he got up quickly and went out to war against Israel, he and all his people, to the slope going down to the valley; but he had no idea that a secret force was waiting at the back of the town.
15 At ginawa ni Josue at ng buong Israel na parang sila'y nadaig sa harap nila, at tumakas sa daan na ilang.
Then Joshua and all Israel, acting as if they were overcome before them, went in flight by way of the waste land.
16 At ang lahat ng mga tao na nasa bayan ay pinisan upang humabol sa kanila: at kanilang hinabol si Josue, at nangalayo sa bayan.
And all the people in Ai came together to go after them; and they went after Joshua, moving away from the town.
17 At walang lalake na naiwan sa Hai o sa Beth-el, na hindi humabol sa Israel: at kanilang iniwang bukas ang bayan, at hinabol ang Israel.
There was not a man in Ai and Beth-el who did not go out after Israel; and the town was open and unwatched while they went after Israel.
18 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, Iunat mo ang sibat na nasa iyong kamay sa dakong Hai; sapagka't aking ibibigay sa iyong kamay. At iniunat ni Josue ang sibat na nasa kaniyang kamay sa dakong bayan.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Let your spear be stretched out against Ai; for I will give it into your hands. So Joshua took up his spear, stretching it out in the direction of the town.
19 At ang bakay ay bumangong bigla sa kanilang dako, at sila'y tumakbo pagkaunat niya ng kaniyang kamay, at pumasok sa bayan at sinakop at sila'y nagmadali at sinilaban ang bayan.
Then the secret force came quickly from their place, and running forward when they saw his hand stretched out, went into the town and took it, and put fire to it straight away.
20 At nang lumingon ang mga lalake sa Hai sa likuran nila, ay kanilang nakita, at, narito, ang usok ng bayan ay napaiilanglang sa langit, at wala silang kapangyarihan na makatakas sa daang ito o sa daang yaon: at ang bayan na tumakas sa ilang ay pumihit sa mga manghahabol.
Then the men of Ai, looking back, saw the smoke of the town going up to heaven, and were unable to go this way or that: and the people who had gone in flight to the waste land were turned back on those who were coming after them.
21 At nang makita ni Josue at ng buong Israel na nasakop ng bakay ang bayan at ang usok ng bayan ay napaiilanglang, ay nagsibalik nga uli sila at pinatay ang mga lalake sa Hai.
And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the town had been taken by the surprise attack, and that the smoke of the town had gone up, turning round they overcame the men of Ai.
22 At ang iba'y lumabas sa bayan laban sa kanila, na anopa't sila'y nasa gitna ng Israel, na ang iba'y sa dakong ito, at ang iba'y sa dakong yaon: at sinaktan nila sila, na anopa't wala silang iniwan sa kanila na nalabi o nakatanan.
Then the other force came out of the town against them, so that they were being attacked on this side and on that: and Israel overcame them and let not one of them get away with his life.
23 At ang hari sa Hai ay hinuli nilang buhay, at dinala nila siya kay Josue.
But the king of Ai they made prisoner, and took him to Joshua.
24 At nangyari, nang matapos ng Israel na mapatay sa parang ang lahat ng mga taga Hai, sa ilang na kanilang pinaghabulan sa kanila, at mangabuwal sa pamamagitan ng talim ng tabak, hanggang sa nalipol nila sila, ay bumalik ang buong Israel sa Hai, at sinugatan ng talim ng tabak.
Then, after the destruction of all the people of Ai in the field and in the waste land where they went after them, and when all the people had been put to death without mercy, all Israel went back to Ai, and put to death all who were in it without mercy.
25 At ang lahat na nabuwal ng araw na yaon, lalake at gayon din ang babae ay labing dalawang libo, lahat ng mga tao sa Hai.
On that day twelve thousand were put to death, men and women, all the people of Ai.
26 Sapagka't hindi iniurong ni Josue ang kaniyang kamay na kaniyang ipinag-unat ng sibat hanggang sa kaniyang nalipol na lubos ang lahat ng mga taga Hai.
For Joshua did not take back his hand with the outstretched spear till the destruction of the people of Ai was complete.
27 Ang hayop lamang at ang samsam sa bayan na yaon ang kinuha ng Israel na pinakasamsam, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon na kaniyang iniutos kay Josue.
But the cattle and the goods from that town, Israel took for themselves, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua.
28 Gayon sinunog ni Josue ang Hai, at pinapaging isang bunton magpakailan man na isang kagibaan, hanggang sa araw na ito.
So Joshua gave Ai to the flames, and made it a waste mass of stones for ever, as it is to this day.
29 At ibinitin niya ang hari sa Hai sa isang punong kahoy hanggang sa kinahapunan: at sa paglubog ng araw ay iniutos ni Josue, at ibinaba nila ang kaniyang bangkay sa punong kahoy at inihagis sa pasukan ng pintuan ng bayan, at binuntunan ng malaking bunton ng mga bato, hanggang sa araw na ito.
And he put the king of Ai to death, hanging him on a tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave them orders to take his body down from the tree, and put it in the public place of the town, covering it with a great mass of stones, which is there to this day.
30 Nang magkagayo'y ipinagtayo ni Josue ng isang dambana ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, sa bundok ng Ebal,
Then Joshua put up an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,
31 Gaya ng iniutos ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon, sa mga anak ni Israel, gaya ng nakasulat sa aklat ng kautusan ni Moises, na isang dambana na hindi hinitsurahang mga bato, na hindi pinagbuhatan ng sinomang tao ng bakal: at kanilang pinaghandugan sa Panginoon ng mga handog na susunugin, at pinaghainan ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan.
In the way ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, as it is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, untouched by any iron instrument: and on it they made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.
32 At siya'y sumulat doon sa mga bato ng isang salin ng kautusan ni Moises na kaniyang sinulat, sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel.
And he made there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, writing it before the eyes of the children of Israel.
33 At ang buong Israel, at ang kanilang mga matanda at mga pinuno at ang kanilang mga hukom, ay tumayo sa dakong ito ng kaban at sa dakong yaon sa harap ng mga saserdote na mga Levita, na nagdadala ng kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon ang mga taga ibang lupa na gaya rin ng mga taga-roon; kalahati nila ay sa harap ng bundok ng Gerizim at kalahati nila ay sa harap ng bundok ng Ebal; gaya ng iniutos ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon, na kanilang basbasan muna ang bayan ng Israel.
And all Israel, those who were Israelites by birth, as well as the men from other lands living with them, and their responsible men and their overseers and judges, took their places round the ark, in front of the priests, the Levites, whose work it was to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement; half of them were stationed in front of Mount Gerizim and half in front of Mount Ebal, in agreement with the orders for the blessing of the children of Israel which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had given.
34 At pagkatapos ay kaniyang binasa ang lahat ng mga salita ng kautusan, ang pagpapala at ang sumpa, ayon sa lahat na nakasulat sa aklat ng kautusan.
And after, he gave them all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, as it is all recorded in the book of the law;
35 Walang salita sa lahat na iniutos ni Moises na hindi binasa ni Josue sa harap ng buong kapulungan ng Israel at ng mga babae, at ng mga bata, at ng mga taga ibang lupa na nakikipamayan sa kanila.
Reading to all the meeting of Israel, with the women and the children and the men from other lands who were living among them, every word of the orders which Moses had given.
