Joshua 8
1 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Joṣua pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, kí àyà kí ó má ṣe fò ọ́. Kó gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun pẹ̀lú rẹ, kí ẹ gòkè lọ gbógun ti Ai. Nítorí mo ti fi ọba Ai, àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, ìlú u rẹ̀ àti ilẹ̀ ẹ rẹ̀ lé ọ lọ́wọ́.
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 Ìwọ yóò sì ṣe sí Ai àti ọba rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti ṣe sí Jeriko àti ọba rẹ̀, ohun ìkógun wọn àti ohun ọ̀sìn wọn ni kí ẹ̀yin mú fún ara yín. Rán ènìyàn kí wọ́n ba sí ẹ̀yìn ìlú náà.”
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní Joṣua àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun jáde lọ láti dojúkọ Ai. Ó sì yan ẹgbàá mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àwọn ọkùnrin ogun rẹ̀ ti ó yakin, ó sì rán wọn lọ ní òru.
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 Pẹ̀lú àwọn àṣẹ wọ̀nyí: “Ẹ fi etí sílẹ̀ dáradára. Ẹ ba sí ẹ̀yìn ìlú náà. Ẹ má ṣe jìnnà sí i púpọ̀. Kí gbogbo yín wà ní ìmúrasílẹ̀.
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 Èmi àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú mi yóò súnmọ́ ìlú náà, nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin náà bá jáde sí wa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ṣe ní ìṣáájú, àwa yóò sì sá kúrò níwájú u wọn.
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 Wọn yóò sì lépa wa títí àwa ó fi tàn wọ́n jáde kúrò ní ìlú náà, nítorí tí wọn yóò wí pé, wọ́n ń sálọ kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n tí ṣe ní ìṣáájú. Nítorí náà bí a bá sá kúrò fún wọn,
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 ẹ̀yin yóò dìde kúrò ní ibùba, ẹ ó sì gba ìlú náà. Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò sì fi lé e yín lọ́wọ́.
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 Nígbà tí ẹ bá ti gba ìlú náà, kí ẹ sì ti iná bọ̀ ọ́. Kí ẹ ṣe ohun tí Olúwa pàṣẹ. Mo ti fi àṣẹ fún un yín ná.”
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 Nígbà náà ni Joṣua rán wọn lọ. Wọ́n sì lọ sí ibùba, wọ́n sì sùn ní àárín Beteli àti Ai, ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn Ai. Ṣùgbọ́n Joṣua wá dúró pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn ní òru ọjọ́ náà.
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 Ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì Joṣua kó àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀, òun àti àwọn olórí Israẹli, wọ́n wọ́de ogun lọ sí Ai.
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 Gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú u rẹ̀ sì gòkè lọ, wọ́n sì súnmọ́ tòsí ìlú náà, wọ́n sì dé iwájú u rẹ̀. Wọ́n sì pàgọ́ ní ìhà àríwá Ai. Àfonífojì sì wà ní agbede-méjì wọn àti ìlú náà.
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 Joṣua sì ti fi bí ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ọmọ-ogun pamọ́ sí àárín Beteli àti Ai, sí ìwọ̀-oòrùn ìlú náà.
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 Wọ́n sì yan àwọn ọmọ-ogun sí ipò wọn, gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà ní ibùdó lọ sí àríwá ìlú náà àti àwọn tí ó sá pamọ́ sí ìwọ̀-oòrùn rẹ̀. Ní òru ọjọ́ náà Joṣua lọ sí àfonífojì.
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 Nígbà tí ọba Ai rí èyí, òun àti gbogbo ọkùnrin ìlú náà yára jáde ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù láti pàdé ogun Israẹli ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ aginjù. Ṣùgbọ́n kò mọ̀ pé àwọn kan wà ní ibùba ní ẹ̀yìn ìlú náà.
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 Joṣua àti gbogbo àwọn Israẹli sì ṣe bí ẹni tí a lé padà níwájú wọn, wọ́n sì sá gba ọ̀nà aginjù.
Then Ioshua and all Israel as beaten before them, fled by the way of the wildernes.
16 A sì pe gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Ai jọ láti lépa wọn, wọ́n sì lépa Joṣua títí wọ́n fi tàn wọ́n jáde nínú ìlú náà.
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 Kò sì ku ọkùnrin kan ní Ai tàbí Beteli tí kò tẹ̀lé Israẹli. Wọ́n sì fi ìlẹ̀kùn ibodè ìlú náà sílẹ̀ ní ṣíṣí, wọ́n sì ń lépa àwọn ará Israẹli.
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 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Joṣua pé, “Na ọ̀kọ̀ tí ó wà lọ́wọ́ rẹ sí Ai, nítorí tí èmi yóò fi ìlú náà lé ọ ní ọwọ́.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua sì na ọ̀kọ̀ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí Ai.
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 Bí ó ti ṣe èyí tán, àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó ba sì dìde kánkán kúrò ní ipò wọn, wọ́n sáré síwájú. Wọn wọ ìlú náà, wọ́n gbà á, wọ́n sì yára ti iná bọ̀ ọ́.
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 Àwọn ọkùnrin Ai bojú wo ẹ̀yìn, wọ́n rí èéfín ìlú náà ń gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò rí, ààyè láti sá àsálà lọ sí ibìkan kan, nítorí tí àwọn ará Israẹli tí wọ́n tí ń sálọ sí aginjù ti yípadà sí àwọn tí ń lépa wọn.
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 Nígbà tí Joṣua àti gbogbo àwọn ará Israẹli rí i pé àwọn tí ó bá ti gba ìlú náà, tí èéfín ìlú náà sì ń gòkè, wọ́n yí padà wọ́n sì kọlu àwọn ọkùnrin Ai.
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 Àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó ba náà sì yípadà sí wọn láti inú ìlú náà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n wà ní agbede-méjì àwọn ará Israẹli ní ìhà méjèèjì. Israẹli sì pa wọ́n, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò sì jẹ́ kí ọ̀kan kí ó yè tàbí kí ó sálọ nínú wọn.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n mú ọba Ai láààyè, wọ́n sì mu un tọ Joṣua wá.
And the King of Ai they tooke aliue, and brought him to Ioshua.
24 Nígbà tí Israẹli parí pípa gbogbo àwọn ìlú Ai ní pápá àti ní aginjù ní ibi tí wọ́n ti lépa wọn lọ, tí gbogbo wọ́n sì ti ojú idà ṣubú, tí a fi pa gbogbo wọn tan, gbogbo àwọn Israẹli sì padà sí Ai, wọ́n sì fi ojú idà kọlù ú.
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 Ẹgbàá mẹ́fà ọkùnrin àti obìnrin ni ó kú ní ọjọ́ náà—gbogbo wọn jẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn Ai.
And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelue thousande, euen all the men of Ai.
26 Nítorí tí Joṣua kò fa ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí ó di ọ̀kọ̀ mú sí ẹ̀yìn, títí ó fi pa gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé ìlú Ai run.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Israẹli kó ẹran ọ̀sìn àti ìkógun ti ìlú yìí fún ara wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Joṣua.
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 Joṣua sì jó Ai, ó sì sọ ọ́ di ààtàn, àní ahoro di òní yìí.
And Ioshua burnt Ai, and made it an heape for euer, and a wildernes vnto this day.
29 Ó sì gbé ọba Ai kọ́ orí igi, ó sì fi kalẹ̀ síbẹ̀ títí di ìrọ̀lẹ́. Bí oòrùn sì ti wọ̀ ni Joṣua pàṣẹ fún wọn láti sọ òkú rẹ̀ kalẹ̀ kúrò ní orí igi, kí wọn sì wọ́ ọ jù sí àtiwọ ẹnu ibodè ìlú náà. Wọ́n sì kó òkìtì òkúta ńlá lé e ní orí, èyí tí ó wà títí di òní yìí.
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 Nígbà náà ni Joṣua mọ pẹpẹ kan fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ní òkè Ebali,
Then Ioshua built an altar vnto the Lord God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
31 gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Ó sì kọ́ ọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ́ nínú ìwé òfin Mose, pẹpẹ odindi òkúta, èyí tí ẹnìkan kò fi ohun èlò irin kàn rí. Wọ́n sì rú ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun àti ọrẹ àlàáfíà ní orí rẹ̀ sí Olúwa.
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 Níbẹ̀, ní ojú àwọn ará Israẹli, Joṣua sì ṣe àdàkọ òfin Mose èyí tí ó ti kọ sí ara òkúta náà.
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 Gbogbo Israẹli, àjèjì àti ọmọ ìlú, pẹ̀lú àwọn àgbàgbà, olórí àti onídàájọ́ dúró ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ méjèèjì àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa tí ó kọjú sí àwọn àlùfáà tí ó rù ú, tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi. Ìdajì àwọn ènìyàn náà dúró ní òkè Gerisimu, àwọn ìdajì si dúró ni òkè Ebali, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ti pàṣẹ rí, pé kí wọn súre fún àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli.
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 Lẹ́yìn èyí, Joṣua sì ka gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ inú òfin, ìbùkún àti ègún, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ nínú ìwé òfin.
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 Kò sí ọ̀rọ̀ kan nínú gbogbo èyí tí Mose pàṣẹ tí Joṣua kò kà ní iwájú gbogbo àjọ Israẹli, títí fi kan àwọn obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọ wọn, àti àwọn àjèjì tí ń gbé ní àárín wọn.
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.
