Joshua 8
1 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed. Take all the warriors with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, with his people, his city, and his land.
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, Mai makau oe, aole hoi e weliweli. E lawe pu oe i na kanaka kaua a pau me oe, a e ku iluna, a e pii aku ia Ai. E nana hoi, ua haawi aku au iloko o kou lima, i ke alii o Ai a me kona kanaka a me kona kulanakauhale, a me kona aina.
2 You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king, except you shall take its goods and its livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it.”
A e hana oe ia Ai, a me kona alii, me oe i hana'i ia Ieriko a me kona alii. Aka, o ko laila waiwai pio, a me ko laila bipi, e lawe ia mau mea i waiwai pio no oukou. E hoomoe oe i kou poe hoohalua ma ke kua o ua kulanakauhale la.
3 So Joshua arose, with all the warriors, to go up to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them out by night.
Ku ae la o Iosua a me na kanaka kaua a pau e pii aku i Ai. Wae mai la o Iosua i kanakolu tausani kanaka, he poe koa loa, a hoouna ia lakou i ka po.
4 He commanded them, saying, “Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Don’t go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.
Kauoha aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, Aia hoi, e hoohalua oukou i kela kulanakauhale, ma ke kua o ke kulanakauhale, mai hele i kahi loihi e aku o ua kulanakauhale la, e noho makaukau hoi oukou a pau.
5 I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. It shall happen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.
A owau a me na kanaka a pau pu me au, e hookokoke aku makou i ke kulanakauhale; a hiki i ka wa e puka mai ai lakou iwaho, e hoouka e like me ka wa mamua, a e hee makou imua o lakou,
6 They will come out after us until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, ‘They flee before us, like the first time.’ So we will flee before them,
(E puka mai no lakou iwaho, mahope o makou, ) a e kai mai no makou ia lakou, ma kahi loihi loa mai o ia kulanakauhale; no ka mea, e olelo auanei lakou, Ua hee lakou imua o kakou e like mamua; a e hee no makou imua o lakou.
7 and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; for Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand.
Alaila, e ku mai oukou, mai kahi a oukou i hoohalua ai, a e lawe i ua kulanakauhale la. Ua haawi mai no o Iehova ia wahi iloko o ko oukou lima.
8 It shall be, when you have seized the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do this according to Yahweh’s word. Behold, I have commanded you.”
A loaa ia oukou ua kulanakauhale la, alaila, e puhi i na hale i ke ahi. E like me ka olelo a Iehova, pela oukou e hana'i. E nana hoi, ua kauoha aku au ia oukou.
9 Joshua sent them out; and they went to set up the ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai on the west side of Ai; but Joshua stayed among the people that night.
Alaila, hoouna aku la o Iosua ia lakou, a hele aku la lakou e hoohalua; a noho lakou mawaena o Betela a me Ai, ma ke komohana o Ai. Ia po, moe pu iho la o Iosua me na kanaka.
10 Joshua rose up early in the morning, mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Ala mai la o Iosua i ke kakahiaka, a helu iho la i na kanaka, a pii aku la oia a me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, imua o na kanaka i Ai.
11 All the people, even the men of war who were with him, went up and came near, and came before the city and encamped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.
Pii pu aku la me ia kona poe a pau i makaukau i ke kaua, a neenee aku la, a hiki ma ke alo o ia kulanakauhale, a hoomoana iho la ma ka aoao akau o Ai. He awawa hoi mawaena o lakou a me Ai.
12 He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
Lawe ae la oia i elima paha tausani kanaka, a hoonoho iho la ia lakou e hoohalua mawaena o Betela a me Ai, ma ke komohana o ke kulanakauhale.
13 So they set the people, even all the army who was on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the middle of the valley.
Hoonoho iho la lakou i kanaka, o ka poe a pau, ma ka aoao akau o ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe hope, ma ke komohana o ke kulanakauhale, alaila, i kela po no, iho aku la o Iosua ilalo o ke awawa.
14 When the king of Ai saw it, they hurried and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he didn’t know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
A ike mai la ke alii o Ai, wikiwiki ae la lakou, a ala koke iho la, a puka mai la na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale iwaho e kaua me ka Iseraela, oia a me kona kanaka a pau, ma kahi i olelo mua ia, ma ke kula; aole hoi i ike he poe hoohalua kekahi, ma ke kua o ke kulanakauhale.
15 Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Hana iho la o Iosua a me ka Iseraela me he poe hee la imua o lakou, a holo aku la ma ke ala e hiki aku ai i ka waonahele.
16 All the people who were in the city were called together to pursue after them. They pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Hoakoakoa mai la na kanaka a pau o Ai e hahai ia lakou, a hahai no lakou ia Iosua, a kaiia'ku la lakou, mao aku o ke kulanakauhale.
17 There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who didn’t go out after Israel. They left the city open, and pursued Israel.
Aole i koe kekahi kanaka ma Ai, a me Betela, i hahai ole aku i ka Iseraela. Waiho hamama wale lakou i ke kulanakauhale, a hahai aku la i ka Iseraela.
18 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand.” Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.
I mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, E o aku oe i ka ihe ma kou lima ia Ai, a na'u no e haawi aku ia wahi iloko o kou lima. O aku la no o Iosua i kana ihe, ma kona lima i ke kulanakauhale.
19 The ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand and entered into the city and took it. They hurried and set the city on fire.
Ku koke mai la ka poe hoohalua, mai ko lakou wahi mai, a i ka o ana aku o kona lima, holo kiki aku la a komo iloko o ke kulanakauhale, hoopio iho la, a wikiwiki a puhi aku la i ke kanhale i ke ahi.
20 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. The people who fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.
Alawa ae la na kanaka o Ai, a nana aku la mahope o lakou, aia hoi! punohu aku la i ka lani ka uwahi o ia kulanakauhale; aole o lakou wahi e pee aku ai, io, a io ae. A o ka poe e pee ana ma ka waonahele, huli mai la lakou e alo i ka poe hahai.
21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned back and killed the men of Ai.
A ike aku la o Iosua, a me ka Iseraela a pau, ua pio ke kulanakauhale i ka poe hoohalua, a ua punohu aku la ka uwahi o ke kulanakauhale, alaila huli hou lakou a luku aku la i kanaka no Ai.
22 The others came out of the city against them, so they were in the middle of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side. They struck them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
A puka mai la hoi kela poe, mailoko mai o ke kulanakauhale, e alo ia lakou, nolaila ua puni lakou i ka Iseraela ma kela aoao kekahi poe a ma keia aoao kekahi poe. A luku aku la o Iosua ma ia lakou, aole i waiho aku i kekahi o lakou e holo a pakele aku.
23 They captured the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
A loaa ola ia lakou ke alii o Ai, a kai mai la lakou ia ia io Iosua la.
24 When Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.
A pau ae la na kanaka o Ai i ka lukuia e ka Iseraela ma ke kula, a ma ka waonahele, ma kahi a lakou i hahai aku ai. A haule iho la lakou a pau i ka maka o ka pahikaua a make. Alaila, hoi aku la ka Iseraela a pau i Ai, a luku aku la, me ka maka o ka pahikaua.
25 All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the people of Ai.
A o ka poe a pau i haule ia la, o ua kane a me na wahine, he umikumamalua tausani o lakou, o na kanaka hoi a pau o Ai.
26 For Joshua didn’t draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Aole i hoihoi mai o Iosua i kona lima, ana i o aku ai me ka ihe, a pau na kanaka o Ai i ka lukuia e ia.
27 Israel took for themselves only the livestock and the goods of that city, according to Yahweh’s word which he commanded Joshua.
Aka o na holoholona, a me ka waiwai pio o ia kulanakauhale, oia ka Iseraela mea i lawe, i waiwai pio no lakou, e like me ka olelo a Iehova, ana i kauoha mai ai ia Iosua.
28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.
Puhi iho la o Iosua ia Ai, a hoolilo iho la ia wahi i puu mau loa, i wahi olohelohe wale, a hiki mai i keia la.
29 He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until the evening. At sundown, Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree and threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised a great heap of stones on it that remains to this day.
Kaawe no hoi ia i ke alii o Ai ma ka laau a hiki i ke ahiahi; a napoo ka la, kauoha ae la o Iosua e kuu i kona kupapau mailuna mai o ka laau, a e kiola ma ka ipuka e komo aku ai i ke kulanakauhale; a hoahu iho la lakou i ahu pohaku nui, a hiki mai i neia la.
30 Then Joshua built an altar to Yahweh, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
Alaila, hana iho la o Iosua i kuahu no Iehova, no ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ma ka mauna ma Ebala,
31 as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of uncut stones, on which no one had lifted up any iron. They offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh and sacrificed peace offerings.
E like me ka Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova i kauoha mai ai i na mamo a Iseraela, e like hoi me ka mea i palapalaia iloko o ka buke o ke kanawai o Mose, he kuahu pohaku i kalai ole ia; aole hoi i kauia ka hao maluna iho. Kaumaha aku la lakou maluna iho i na mohaikuni ia Iehova, a kalua iho la i na mohaihoomalu.
32 He wrote there on the stones a copy of Moses’ law, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
Palapala hou iho la ia malaila, ma na pohaku, i ke kanawai a Mose, ana i palapala ai imua i ke alo o na mamo a Iseraela.
33 All Israel, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
Ku mai la ka Iseraela a pau, a me na lunakahiko, a me na'lii, a me na lunakanawai o lakou, ma keia aoao a ma kela aoao o ka pahu, imua o ke alo o na kahuna o na mamo a Levi, ka poe i lawe i ka pahuberita o Iehova, o ka malihini a me ke keikipapa: o ka hapalua o lakou ma ke alo o ka mauna o Gerizima, a o ka hapalua ma ke alo o ka mauna o Ebala; e like me ke kauoha mua ana mai a Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova, e hoomaikai lakou i kanaka o ka Iseraela.
34 Afterward 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.
A mahope iho, heluhelu iho la ia i ka olelo a pau o ke kanawai, o ka hoomaikai ana a me ka hoino ana, e like me na mea a pau i palapalaia ma ka buke o ke kanawai.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded which Joshua didn’t read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who were among them.
Aole i koe kekahi o na olelo a pau, a Mose i kauoha mai ai; ua pau i ka heluheluia e Iosua, imua o ke anaina a pau o ka Iseraela, a me na wahine pu, a me na kamalii, a me na malihini, i hele pu me lakou.
