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 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 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 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 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 valor, 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, in the rear of the city; go not very far from the city; and 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 that, when they come out against us, as at the first time, 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:
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 At kayo'y babangon sa pagbakay, at inyong aariin ang bayan: sapagka't ibibigay ng Panginoon ninyong Dios sa inyong kamay.
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 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, 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 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.
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 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, toward '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 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 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 as an ambush between Beth-el and 'Ai, on the west side of '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.
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 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 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 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 Israel feigned themselves 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 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 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 stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city, and took possession of it, and hastened 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 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 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.
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 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 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 At ang hari sa Hai ay hinuli nilang buhay, at dinala nila siya kay Josue.
And the king of 'Ai they caught 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, 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 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 [the number of] all that fell in that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand, 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.
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 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 as booty unto themselves, according to the word of the Lord which he had 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 a ruinous heap of desolation for ever, even 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 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 Nang magkagayo'y ipinagtayo ni Josue ng isang dambana ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, sa bundok ng Ebal,
Then did Joshua build an altar unto the Lord, the God of Israel on 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 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 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 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 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 blessing and the curse, all, just as it 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 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.
