Joshua 8
1 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be dismayed. 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.
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jozua: nebīsties un nebaiļojies! Ņem līdz visus karavīrus un celies pret Aju; redzi, Es esmu devis tavā rokā Ajas ķēniņu un viņa ļaudis, viņa pilsētu un viņa zemi.
2 And thou shalt do to Ai and to its king as thou didst to Jericho and to its king; only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take as prey for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it.
Un dari Ajai un viņas ķēniņam, kā tu esi darījis Jērikum un viņa ķēniņam, tikai lai jūs viņas laupījumu un viņas lopus priekš sev ņemat. Liec citiem paslēpties aiz pilsētas.
3 And Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. And Joshua chose thirty thousand valiant men, and sent them away by night.
Tad Jozuas un visi karavīri cēlās, iet uz Aju, un Jozuas izlasīja trīsdesmit tūkstošus spēcīgu un stipru vīru, un tos izsūtīja naktī,
4 And he commanded them, saying, See, ye shall be in ambush against the city, behind the city: go not very far from the city, and be all of you ready.
Un tiem pavēlēja sacīdams: raugāt, jums pret to pilsētu būs paslēpties aiz pilsētas; neturaties visai tālu no pilsētas un esiet visi gatavi.
5 And I and all the people that are with me will approach to the city; and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.
Es tad un visi tie ļaudis, kas pie manis, pieiesim pie pilsētas, un kad tie izies mums pretī tā kā pirmo reiz, tad mēs no viņiem bēgsim.
6 And 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; and we will flee before them.
Lai tie tad nāk ārā mums pakaļ, kamēr mēs tos no pilsētas atšķiram, jo tie sacīs: viņi bēg mūsu priekšā, tā kā pirmo reiz, - un mēs bēgsim no viņiem.
7 And ye shall rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city; and Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.
Bet jūs ceļaties no tās vietas, kur bijāt slēpušies, un uzņemat to pilsētu, jo Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, to devis jūsu rokā.
8 And it shall be when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
Un kad jūs to pilsētu esat uzņēmuši tad jums to pilsētu būs sadedzināt ar uguni, pēc Tā Kunga vārda jums būs darīt; redziet, es jums to esmu pavēlējis.
9 And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai. And Joshua lodged that night among the people.
Tā Jozuas tos izsūtīja. Un tie gāja paslēpties un turējās starp Bēteli un Aju, Ajai pret vakariem, bet Jozuas palika to nakti pie tiem ļaudīm.
10 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and inspected the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Un Jozuas cēlās no rīta agri un pārlūkoja tos ļaudis, un viņš un Israēla vecaji cēlās tiem ļaudīm priekšā pret Aju.
11 And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew near, and came before the city; and they encamped on the north of Ai; and the valley was between them and Ai.
Tā līdz arīdzan visi karavīri, kas pie tā bija, cēlās un piegāja un nāca pret to pilsētu un apmetās pret ziemeļa pusi no Ajas, un tur bija ieleja starp tiem un Aju.
12 Now he had taken about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city.
Un viņš ņēma kādus piectūkstoš vīrus un tiem lika paslēpties starp Bēteli un Aju, pilsētai pret vakariem.
13 And when they had set the people, the whole camp on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
Un tie nostādīja tos ļaudis, visu to lēģeri, kas bija pret pilsētas ziemeļa pusi, un viņa pakaļējo pulku pret pilsētas vakara pusi, un Jozuas tanī naktī nogāja pašā ielejā.
14 And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hasted and rose early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the appointed place before the plain. But he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
Un kad Ajas ķēniņš to redzēja, tad tie pilsētas vīri steidzās un cēlās no rīta agri un izgāja Israēlim pretī uz kaušanos, viņš un visi viņa ļaudis, norunātā vietā klajuma priekšā, bet viņš nezināja, ka citi bija paslēpušies aiz pilsētas.
15 And Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten before them; and they fled by the way of the wilderness.
Un Jozuas un viss Israēls izlikās kauti esoši viņu priekšā un bēga pa tuksneša ceļu.
16 And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them; and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Tāpēc visi ļaudis, kas bija pilsētā, tapa sasaukti, ka tiem dzītos pakaļ.
17 And not a man remained in Ai and Bethel that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
Un tie dzinās Jozuam pakaļ un šķīrās nost no pilsētas, un tur neatlika neviena vīra Ajā un Bētelē, kas nebūtu izgājis Israēlim pakaļ, un tie pameta pilsētu atvērtu un dzinās Israēlim pakaļ.
18 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that he had in his hand toward the city.
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jozua: izstiep to šķēpu, kas tavā rokā, pret Aju, jo Es to došu tavā rokā. Tad Jozuas izstiepa to šķēpu, kas bija viņa rokā, pret to pilsētu.
19 And the ambush arose quickly from their place, and they ran when he stretched out his hand, and came into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
Tad tie, kas bija paslēpušies, tūdaļ cēlās no savas vietas un skrēja, kad viņš savu roku izstiepa, un nāca pilsētā un to uzņēma un steidzās un iededzināja to pilsētu ar uguni.
20 And the men of Ai turned and saw, and behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that fled to the wilderness turned upon the pursuers.
Kad nu Ajas ļaudis atpakaļ griezās, tad tie skatījās, un redzi, pilsētas dūmi cēlās pret debesi, un tie nespēja nekur bēgt, ne šurp, ne turp, jo tie ļaudis, kas uz tuksnesi bēga, griezās atpakaļ pret tiem, kas dzinās pakaļ.
21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up, they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
Jo kad Jozuas un viss Israēls redzēja, ka tie, kas bija paslēpušies, pilsētu bija uzņēmuši un ka pilsētas dūmi cēlās, tad viņi arīdzan griezās atpakaļ un kāva Ajas vīrus.
22 And the others went 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, until they let none of them escape or flee away.
Un tad arī tie no pilsētas nāca ārā viņiem pretī, tā ka tie bija vidū starp Israēli, šie no tejienes un viņi no turienes, un tie tos kāva, kamēr neviens no tiem neatlika nedz izbēga.
23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Bet Ajas ķēniņu tie sagūstīja dzīvu un veda pie Jozuas.
24 And it came to pass when Israel had ended slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had chased them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
Un kad Israēls bija nokāvis visus Ajas iedzīvotājus, laukā un tuksnesī, uz kurieni tie viņiem bija dzinušies pakaļ, un kad tie visi caur zobena asmeni bija krituši līdz pēdīgam, tad viss Israēls griezās atpakaļ uz Aju, un to sita ar zobena asmeni.
25 And so it was, that all who fell that day, men as well as women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai.
Un visi, kas tai dienā krita, vīri un sievas, bija divpadsmit tūkstoši; tie bija visi Ajas ļaudis.
26 And Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out with the javelin, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Un Jozuas neatvilka savu roku, ko viņš ar šķēpu bija izstiepis, tiekams viņš nebija izdeldējis visus Ajas iedzīvotājus.
27 Only, the cattle and the spoil of the city Israel took as prey to themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which he had commanded Joshua.
Tikai lopus un pilsētas laupījumu Israēls laupīja priekš sevis pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko viņš Jozuam bija pavēlējis.
28 And Joshua burned Ai, and made it an everlasting heap of desolation to this day.
Un Jozuas sadedzināja Aju un to padarīja par mūžīgu postažas vietu līdz šai dienai.
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcase down from the tree, and threw it down at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised upon it a great heap of stones, [which remains] to this day.
Un Ajas ķēniņu viņš pakāra pie koka līdz vakaram, un kad saule nogāja, Jozuas pavēlēja, viņa miesas noņemt no koka, un tie viņu nometa pie pilsētas vārtiem un uzkrāva pār viņu lielu akmeņu kopu līdz šai dienai.
30 Then Joshua built an altar to Jehovah the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
Tad Jozuas uztaisīja altāri Tam Kungam, Israēla Dievam, Ebala kalnā,
31 as Moses the servant of Jehovah 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 iron had not been lifted up. And they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
Tā kā Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, Israēla bērniem bija pavēlējis, kā Mozus bauslības grāmatā stāv rakstīts, altāri no veseliem akmeņiem, kur dzelzs ierocis nebija pielikts, un uz tā tie upurēja Tam Kungam dedzināmos upurus un upurēja arī pateicības upurus.
32 And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written before the children of Israel.
Un viņš rakstīja uz tiem akmeņiem norakstu no Mozus bauslības, ko šis bija rakstījis priekš Israēla bērniem.
33 And all Israel, and their elders, and their officers and judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the stranger as the home-born [Israelite]; half of them toward mount Gerizim, and the other half of them toward mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel, in the beginning.
Un viss Israēls ar saviem vecajiem un virsniekiem un soģiem stāvēja abējos šķirsta sānos pretim tiem priesteriem un Levitiem, kas Tā Kunga derības šķirstu nesa, gan svešinieki, gan pašu ļaudis, viena puse pret Gerizim kalnu un otra puse pret Ebalkalnu, tā kā Mozus, Tā Kunga kalps, iepriekš bija pavēlējis, tos ļaudis svētīt.
34 And afterwards he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
Un pēc tam viņš izlasīja visus bauslības vārdus, svētību un lāstu, kā bauslības grāmatā stāv rakstīts.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua read not before the whole congregation of Israel, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that lived among them.
Tur nebija neviena vārda no visiem, cik Mozus bija pavēlējis, ko Jozuas nebūtu izlasījis priekš visas Israēla draudzes un tām sievām un tiem bērniņiem un tiem svešiniekiem, kas staigāja viņu vidū.
