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;
And Yhwh said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, 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 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 thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
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 arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away 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 commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all 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 that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before 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:
( For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee 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 ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for Yhwh your God will deliver it into your hand.
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 it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of Yhwh shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
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.
Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Beth–el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
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 Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, 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 people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.
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 he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Beth–el and Ai, on the west side of the city.
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.
And when they had set the people, even all the army that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of 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.
And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
15 At ginawa ni Josue at ng buong Israel na parang sila'y nadaig sa harap nila, at tumakas sa daan na ilang.
And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
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 that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
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.
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 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 Yhwh said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
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.
And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
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.
And when the men of Ai looked behind them, 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 fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
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 ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew 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.
And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
23 At ang hari sa Hai ay hinuli nilang buhay, at dinala nila siya kay Josue.
And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought 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.
And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
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.
And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men 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 drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
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.
Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of Yhwh which he commanded Joshua.
28 Gayon sinunog ni Josue ang Hai, at pinapaging isang bunton magpakailan man na isang kagibaan, hanggang sa araw na ito.
And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto 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 the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.
30 Nang magkagayo'y ipinagtayo ni Josue ng isang dambana ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, sa bundok ng Ebal,
Then Joshua built an altar unto Yhwh 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.
As Moses the servant of Yhwh 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 man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto Yhwh, and sacrificed peace offerings.
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 wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence 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, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of Yhwh, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Yhwh had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
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 afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written 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.
There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
