Siosiua 8
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa ke ilifia: ʻave ʻae kautau kotoa pē, pea tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu hake ki ʻAi: vakai, kuo u tuku ki ho nima ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAi, mo hono kakai, mo ʻene kolo, mo hono fonua:
After, the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, Feare not, neither bee thou faint hearted: take all the men of warre with thee and arise, go vp to Ai: beholde, I haue giuen into thine hand the King of Ai, and his people, and his citie, and his land.
2 Pea ke fai ki ʻAi mo hono tuʻi ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ke fai ki Seliko mo hono tuʻi; ka ko e vete ʻo ia, mo e fanga manu ʻi ai te mou maʻu maʻamoutolu: ke toka ʻae malumu ki he potu tuʻa ʻoe kolo.”
And thou shalt doe to Ai and to the King thereof, as thou didst vnto Iericho and to the King thereof: neuerthelesse the spoyle thereof and the cattell thereof shall ye take vnto you for a praye: thou shalt lye in wait against the citie on the backside thereof.
3 Pea naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa Siosiua, mo e kautau kotoa pē, kenau ʻalu hake ki ʻAi: pea naʻe fili ʻe Siosiua ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu mano, ko e kau mālohi mo toʻa, ʻo ne fekau kenau ʻalu ʻi he poʻuli.
Then Ioshua arose, and all the men of warre to goe vp against Ai: and Ioshua chose out thirtie thousand strong men, and valiant, and sent them away by night.
4 Pea naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, te mou toka malumu ʻo hanga ki he kolo, ʻio, ʻi he tuʻa kolo ki mui: ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu mamaʻo fau mei he kolo, ka mou talitali teu pe kotoa pē:
And he commanded them, saying, Behold, yee shall lye in waite against the citie on the backeside of the citie: goe not very farre from the citie, but be ye all in a readinesse.
5 Pea ko au, mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate au, te mau ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ki he kolo: pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau haʻu kituʻa kiate kimautolu, ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki fai, te mau hola mei honau ʻao,
And I and all the people that are with me, will approche vnto the citie: and when they shall come out against vs, as they did at the first time, then will we flee before them.
6 (He tenau haʻu ko homau tuli, ) kaeʻoua ke mau tautoho mai ʻakinautolu mei he kolo: he tenau pehē, ʻOku nau hola ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e fuofua fai ko ia te mau hola ai ʻi honau ʻao.
For they wil come out after vs, till we haue brought them out of the citie: for they will say, They flee before vs as at the first time: so we will flee before them.
7 Pea mou toki tuʻu hake ʻae malumu, pea maʻu ʻae kolo: he ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua te ne tukuange ia ki homou nima.
Then you shall rise vp from lying in waite and destroy the citie: for the Lord your God wil deliuer it into your hand.
8 Pea ʻe pehē, ʻi hoʻomou lavaʻi ʻae kolo, te mou tutu leva ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae afi; ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ʻe pehē hoʻomou fai. Vakai, kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu.”
And when ye haue taken the citie, ye shall set it on fire: according to the commandement of the Lord shall ye do: behold, I haue charged you.
9 Ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua kenau ʻalu atu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ke toka ʻae malumu, pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Peteli mo ʻAi, ʻi he potu lulunga ki ʻAi: ka naʻe mohe ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pō ko ia mo e kakai.
Ioshua then sent them foorth, and they went to lye in waite, and abode betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of Ai: but Ioshua lodged that night among the people.
10 Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo ne lau ʻae kakai, pea ne ʻalu hake, ʻaia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ki ʻAi.
And Ioshua rose vp early in the morning, and nombred the people: and he and the Elders of Israel went vp before the people against Ai.
11 Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē, ʻae kautau naʻe ʻiate ia, naʻe ʻalu hake, pea ʻunuʻunu, ʻo hoko ki he ʻao ʻoe kolo, ʻonau nofo ʻi he potu tokelau ʻo ʻAi: ka naʻe ai ʻae fuʻu luo ʻi honau vahaʻa mo ʻAi.
Also all the men of warre that were with him went vp and drewe neere, and came against the citie, and pitched on the Northside of Ai: and there was a valley betweene them and Ai.
12 Pea naʻa ne fili ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima afe nai, ʻo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ke toka malumu, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Peteli mo ʻAi, ʻi he potu lulunga ʻoe kolo.
And hee tooke about fiue thousande men, and set them to lye in waite betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of the citie.
13 Pea hili ʻenau fakanofo ʻae kakai, ʻio ʻae tau kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he potu fakatokelau ʻoe kolo, mo e malumu ʻoku fakamohe ʻi lulunga ʻoe kolo, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pō ko ia ki he loto luo.
And the people set all the hoste that was on the Northside against the citie, and the liers in waite on the West, against the citie: and Ioshua went the same night into the mids of the valley.
14 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAi, naʻa nau fakatoʻotoʻo pea tuʻu hengihengi hake, pea ko e kau tangata ʻoe kolo ne ʻalu kituʻa ke tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia mo hono kakai kotoa pē ʻi he feituʻu naʻe tuʻutuʻuni, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe toafa; pea naʻe ʻikai mahalo ʻe ia ʻoku ai ha malumu kuo tokoto ʻi he tuʻa kolo.
And when the King of Ai sawe it, then the men of the citie hasted and rose vp earely, and went out against Israel to battell, hee and all his people at the time appointed, before the plaine: for he knew not that any lay in waite against him on the backeside of the citie.
15 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Siosiua mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻo hangē kuo teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ʻao, pea naʻa nau hola ʻi he hala ʻoe toafa.
Then Ioshua and all Israel as beaten before them, fled by the way of the wildernes.
16 Pea naʻe ui ke fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ʻAi kenau tuli kiate kinautolu: pea naʻa nau tuli ʻa Siosiua, pea kuo tohoakiʻi ai ʻakinautolu mei he kolo.
And all the people of the citie were called together, to pursue after them: and they pursued after Ioshua, and were drawen away out of the city,
17 Pea naʻe ʻikai toe ha tangata ʻi ʻAi pe ʻi Peteli naʻe ʻikai ʻalu kituʻa ke tuli ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau tuku liʻaki pē ʻae kolo ʻonau tuli ki ʻIsileli.
So that there was not a man left in Ai, nor in Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the citie open, and pursued after Israel.
18 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Mafao atu ʻae tao ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻo hanga ki ʻAi; he te u tuku ia ki ho nima.” Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻe Siosiua ʻae tao naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻo hanga atu ki he kolo.
Then the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Stretch out the speare that is in thine hande, towarde Ai: for I wil giue it into thine hand: and Ioshua stretched out the speare that hee had in his hand, toward the citie.
19 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake leva ʻae malumu mei honau potu, pea ʻi heʻene mafao atu hono nima, naʻa nau lele leva: pea naʻa nau hū ki he kolo, ʻo maʻu ia, pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo leva ʻo tutu ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae afi.
And they that lay in wait, arose quickly out of their place, and ranne as soone as he had stretched out his hand, and they entred into the citie, and tooke it, and hasted, and set the citie on fire.
20 Pea ʻi he sio kimui ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻAi, pea nau mamata, pea vakai, ko e ʻohuafi ʻo ʻenau kolo ʻoku ʻalu hake ki langi, naʻe ʻikai hanau mafai ke hola ʻi he hala ni, pe ʻi he hala na: pea ko e kakai naʻe hola ange ki he toafa, naʻa nau tafoki mai ki honau kau tuli.
And the men of Ai looked behinde them, and sawe it: for loe, the smoke of the citie ascended vp to heauen, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: for the people that fled to the wildernesse, turned backe vpon the pursuers.
21 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Siosiua mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē kuo maʻu ʻae kolo ʻe he malumu, pea kuo ʻalu hake ʻae ʻohuafi ʻoe kolo, naʻa nau tafoki leva, ʻo teʻia ʻae kau tangata ʻo ʻAi.
When Ioshua and all Israel sawe that they that lay in waite, had taken the citie, and that the smoke of the citie mounted vp, then they turned againe and slewe the men of Ai.
22 Pea naʻe ʻoho mai [ʻae kautau ]ʻe taha mei he kolo kiate kinautolu; ko ia naʻa nau moʻua ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ʻIsileli mei mui pea ʻi honau ʻao: pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻe hao.
Also the other issued out of the citie against them: so were they in the middes of Israel, these being on the one side, and the rest on the other side: and they slewe them, so that they let none of them remaine nor escape.
23 Pea naʻa nau puke moʻui ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAi, pea ʻomi ia kia Siosiua.
And the King of Ai they tooke aliue, and brought him to Ioshua.
24 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe ʻIsileli hono teʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻAi ʻi he ngoue, pea mo e toafa ʻaia naʻa nau tuli ʻakinautolu ki ai, pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻenau hinga ki he mata ʻoe heletā, pea nau ʻauha, naʻe toki haʻu ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki ʻAi, pea tā ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā,
And when Israel had made an ende of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the fielde, that is, in the wildernesse, where they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sworde, vntill they were consumed, all the Israelites returned vnto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sworde.
25 Pea naʻe pehē, ko kinautolu naʻe tō ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻae tangata mo e fefine, ko e tokotaha mano, mo e toko ua afe, ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻAi.
And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelue thousande, euen all the men of Ai.
26 He naʻe ʻikai toe toʻo mai ʻe Siosiua hono nima, ʻaia naʻa ne mafao ai ʻae tao, kaeʻoua ke ʻosiʻosingamālie hono fakaʻauha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻAi.
For Ioshua drewe not his hande backe againe which he had stretched out with the speare, vntill hee had vtterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
27 Ka ko e fanga manu mo e vete ʻoe kolo ko ia, naʻe toʻo ia ʻe ʻIsileli ko e koloa kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fekau kia Siosiua.
Onely the cattell and the spoyle of this citie, Israel tooke for a praye vnto themselues, according vnto the worde of the Lord, which hee commanded Ioshua.
28 Pea naʻe tutu ʻe Siosiua ʻa ʻAi, ʻo ne ngaohi ko e ʻesi ʻo taʻengata, ʻio, ko e potu liʻaki ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
And Ioshua burnt Ai, and made it an heape for euer, and a wildernes vnto this day.
29 Pea naʻe tautau ʻe ia ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAi ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi: pea ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻae laʻā, naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua kenau tuku hifo hono ʻangaʻanga mei he ʻakau, ʻo lī ia ki he tefitoʻi matapā ʻoe kolo, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ki ai ʻae fuʻu ʻesi maka, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
And the King of Ai hee hanged on a tree, vnto the euening. And as soone as the sunne was down, Ioshua commanded that they should take his carkeis downe from the tree, and cast it at the entring of ye gate of the city, and lay thereon a great heape of stones, that remaineth vnto this day.
30 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he moʻunga ko Ipale,
Then Ioshua built an altar vnto the Lord God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
31 ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Mōsese, “ko e feilaulauʻanga, ʻoe ngaahi maka kātoa, ʻaia kuo ʻikai hiki ʻe ha tangata ha ukamea ki ai:” pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei.
As Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, an altar of whole stone, ouer which no man had lift an yron: and they offered thereon burnt offrings vnto the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
32 Pea naʻe tohi ʻe ia ʻi ai ki he ngaahi maka hono hiki ʻoe fono ʻa Mōsese, ʻaia naʻa ne tohi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
Also he wrote there vpon the stones, a rehearsall of the Lawe of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
33 Pea ko ʻIsileli kotoa pē, mo ʻenau kau mātuʻa, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kau fakamaau, naʻa nau tutuʻu fakataha mo e muli, mo ia naʻe tupu ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe puha, mo e potu toʻohema, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai, ʻaia naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova; ko honau vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha naʻe hanga ki he moʻunga ko Kelisimi, mo honau vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha naʻe hanga ki he moʻunga ko Ipale; ʻo hangē ko e tomuʻa fekau ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau tāpuakiʻi ʻae kakai ʻo ʻIsileli.
And all Israel (and their Elders, and officers and their iudges stoode on this side of the Arke, and on that side, before the Priestes of the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord) as well the stranger, as he that is borne in the countrey: halfe of them were ouer against mount Gerizim, and halfe of them ouer against mount Ebal, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should blesse the people of Israel.
34 Pea hili ia naʻa ne lau ke ʻosi ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono, ko e ngaahi tāpuaki, mo e ngaahi fakamalaʻia, ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono.
Then afterwarde hee read all the wordes of the Lawe, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the booke of the Lawe.
35 Pea naʻe ʻikai ha foʻi lea ʻe liaki ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai lau ʻe Siosiua ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau fefine mo e ngaahi fānau siʻi, pea mo e kau muli naʻe nofo fiemālie mo kinautolu.
There was not a worde of all that Moses had commanded, which Ioshua read not before all the Congregation of Israel, as well before the women and the children, as the stranger that was conuersant among them.
