1Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Nimet kom sangeng ku sensen. Fahla ac us mwet mweun lom nukewa utyak nu Ai. Nga fah oru tuh kom fah kutangla tokosra lun Ai ac nga fah usot facl sac ac ma nukewa we tuh in ma lowos.
1Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. See, I have delivered into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
2Ma nukewa kom tuh oru in acn Jericho ac nu sin tokosra we kom in oru oapana in acn Ai ac nu sin tokosra we. Tusruktu, ma lalos nukewa wi kosro natulos kowos ku in eis lowos. Akola kowos in mweunelos in lukma, tukun siti ah yak.”
2And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set up an ambush behind the city.”
3Ouinge Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos akola in mweuni mwet Ai. El sulela tausin tolngoul mwet pisrla ke mweun ac supwalosla ke fong,
3So Joshua and the whole army set out to attack Ai. Joshua chose 30,000 mighty men of valor and sent them out at night
4ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos som ac wikwik akngusrikya tukun siti ah, ac tupan pacl in mweun. Nimet som loesla liki siti ah.
4with these orders: “Pay attention. You are to lie in ambush behind the city, not too far from it. All of you must be ready.
5Nga ac mwet mweun lula uh ac fah kalukyang nu ke mutunpot in siti uh. Ke pacl se ma mwet Ai elos ac ilme in lain kut oana elos oru meet ah, na kut fah forla ac kaingkunulos.
5Then I and all the troops with me will advance on the city. When they come out against us as they did the first time, we will flee from them.
6Elos fah ukwe kut nwe ke na kut pwanulosla loes liki siti sac. Elos ac nunku mu kut kaingkunulos oana kut tuh kaingkunulos meet ah.
6They will pursue us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’ So as we flee from them,
7Na kowos fah tuyak liki acn kowos wikwik we, ac utyak ac sruokya siti sac. LEUM GOD lowos el ac fah sot nu inpouwos.
7you are to rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
8Tukun kowos sruokya siti sac, kowos esukak, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin. Pa ingan sap ku kowos in fahsr kac.”
8And when you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do as the LORD has commanded! See, I have given you orders.”
9Ouinge Joshua el supwalosla, ac elos som nu yen elos ac wikwik we inmasrlon acn Bethel ac Ai, layen roto in Ai. Ac Joshua el mutana in lohm sin mwet mweun in fong sac.
9So Joshua sent them out, and they went to the place of ambush and lay in wait between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai. But Joshua spent that night among the people.
10Toang na ke lotu tok ah, Joshua el tukakek ac pangon mwet mweun ah nu sie. Na el ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel kololosla nu Ai.
10Joshua got up early the next morning and mobilized his men, and he and the elders of Israel marched before them up to Ai.
11Na mwet mweun ma welul ah elos kalukyang apkuran nu ke mutunpot lun siti sac ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos layen nu eir in Ai, ac oasr sie infahlfal inmasrlolos ac Ai.
11Then all the troops who were with him marched up and approached the city. They arrived in front of Ai and camped to the north of it, with the valley between them and the city.
12El eis apkuran in mwet tausin limekosr ac sap elos in wikla inmasrlon Bethel ac Ai, layen roto in Ai.
12Now Joshua had taken about five thousand men and set up an ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of the city.
13Na mwet mweun elos akola nu ke mweun. Pusiyen mwet uh elos muta eir, ac mwet lula ah elos muta roto. Ac Joshua el mongla in fong sac infahlfal sac.
13So the forces were stationed with the main camp to the north of the city and the rear guard to the west of the city. And that night Joshua went into the valley.
14Ke tokosra Ai el liye mwet mweun lal Joshua, el sa in mukuila. El ac mwet lal nukewa fahla suiya Infahlfal Jordan in mweuni mwet Israel, acn se na ma elos tuh mweun we meet ah. Ac el tia etu lah oasr pac mwet mweun akola in tuku tokolos ac lainulos.
14When the king of Ai saw the Israelites, he hurried out early in the morning with the men of the city to engage them in battle at an appointed place overlooking the Arabah. But he did not know that an ambush had been set up against him behind the city.
15Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos oru acnu mu elos kaingkunulos ac elos kaing nu yen mwesis.
15Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten back before them, and they fled toward the wilderness.
16Suliyuk mwet nukewa in siti sac in tuku ac ukwe mwet lal Joshua, ac ke elos ukwal Joshua, elos loeselik liki siti sac.
16Then all the men of Ai were summoned to pursue them, and they followed Joshua and were drawn away from the city.
17Mwet Ai nukewa elos som ukwe mwet Israel, ac mutunpot in siti sac ikakelik na ac wangin mwet lula in karingin.
17Not a man was left in Ai or Bethel who did not go out after Israel, leaving the city wide open while they pursued Israel.
18Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Kolla osra soko inpoum an nu Ai, tuh nga ac sot siti sac nu sum.” Na Joshua el oru oana ke fwack nu sel.
18Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Hold out your battle lance toward Ai, for into your hand I will deliver the city.” So Joshua held out his battle lance toward Ai,
19Ke pacl se na ma el kolla osra soko ah, na mwet ma wikwik likin siti ah elos sulaklak na tuyak ac kasrusr nu ke siti sac. Elos utyak sruokya siti sac ac esukak.
19and as soon as he did so, the men in ambush rose quickly from their position. They rushed forward, entered the city, captured it, and immediately set it on fire.
20Ke mwet Ai elos tapulla elos liye lah fosryak siti ah. Tusruktu, wangin acn elos ku in kaingla nu we mweyen mwet Israel su kaing nu yen mwesis ah elos forla ac lainulos.
20When the men of Ai turned and looked back, the smoke of the city was rising into the sky. They could not escape in any direction, and the troops who had fled to the wilderness now became the pursuers.
21Ke Joshua ac mwet lal ah liye lah mwet wialos ah eisla ac esukak siti sac, elos forla ac mutawauk in uni mwet Ai ah.
21When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that smoke was rising from it, they turned around and struck down the men of Ai.
22Na mwet Israel ma esukak siti sac elos tufoki ac wi mweuni mwet Ai. Elos raunelosla ac onelosla ac wangin sie selos moulla ku kaingla,
22Meanwhile, those in the ambush came out of the city against them, and the men of Ai were trapped between the Israelite forces on both sides. So Israel struck them down until no survivor or fugitive remained.
23sayen tokosra Ai. Sruhu el ac utukla nu yorol Joshua.
23But they took the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.
24Ke mwet Israel elos onela kewa mwet Ai ah yen mwesis ma elos ukwalosla nu we ah, na elos folokla nu in siti lun mwet Ai ac onela mwet nukewa ma lula we.
24When Israel had finished killing all the men of Ai who had pursued them into the field and wilderness, and when every last one of them had fallen by the sword, all the Israelites returned to Ai and put it to the sword as well.
25Pisen mwet Ai, mukul ac mutan, pa singoul luo tausin, ac elos nukewa anwuki in len sac.
25A total of twelve thousand men and women fell that day—all the people of Ai.
26Joshua el kolla na osra soko inpaol ah nwe ke na mwet nukewa in Ai anwukla.
26Joshua did not draw back the hand that held his battle lance until he had devoted to destruction all who lived in Ai.
27Mwet Israel elos eis kosro ac ma nukewa lun mwet Ai tuh in ma lalos, in oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel Joshua.
27Israel took for themselves only the cattle and plunder of that city, as the LORD had commanded Joshua.
28Ouinge Joshua el esukak acn Ai ac wanginla ma fac nwe misenge.
28So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolation to this day.
29Joshua el unilya tokosra lun acn Ai ac srupsrulak ke sak soko, na el sripsrip we nwe ke na ekela. Ke faht ah tili, Joshua el sap elos eisya manol ac sisya mutunpot in siti uh. Ac elos elosak yol in eot se nu facl, su oanna nwe misenge.
29He hung the king of Ai on a tree until evening, and at sunset Joshua commanded that they take down the body from the tree and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And over it they raised a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.
30Na Joshua el etoak sie loang Fineol Ebal nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
30At that time Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal to the LORD, the God of Israel,
31El orala oana Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD , el tuh sapkin nu sin mwet Israel. El oru fal nu ke lumah ma aketeyuki in book in Ma Sap lal Moses — “sie loang orekla ke eot ma tia akfwelyeyuk ke kutena osra.” Elos orekmakin loang se inge nu ke mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo lalos nu sin LEUM GOD .
31just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the Israelites. He built it according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: “an altar of uncut stones on which no iron tool has been used.” And on it they offered burnt offerings to the LORD, and they sacrificed peace offerings.
32Joshua el simusla ma sap fin eot ah ye mutun mwet nukewa, in oana ke Moses el tuh simusla meet ah.
32And there in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua inscribed on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written.
33Mwet kol, mwet matu, mwet nununku, ac mwet Israel nukewa, wi mwetsac su muta inmasrlolos, elos takla tu sisken Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD . Tafu selos tu pe Fineol Gerizim ac tafu selos tu pe Fineol Ebal, ac ngetani nu yurin mwet tol Levi su us Tuptup sac inmasrlolos, oana ke Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD , el tuh sap elos in oru ke pacl in eis mwe insewowo.
33All Israel, foreigners and citizens alike, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the LORD facing the Levitical priests who carried it. Half of the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded earlier, to bless the people of Israel.
34Tukun ma inge Joshua el riteak nukewa kas in Ma Sap ah, kas in akinsewowo ac kas in selnga, oana ke simla in book in Ma Sap.
34Afterward, Joshua read aloud all the words of the law—the blessings and the curses—according to all that is written in the Book of the Law.
35Ma sap nukewa lal Moses Joshua el riteak nu sin mwet nukewa su tukeni ah, weang pacna mutan ac tulik ac mwetsac su muta inmasrlolos.
35There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua failed to read before the whole assembly of Israel, including the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who lived among them.
