Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1The LORD 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.
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.
2You 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.”
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.”
3So 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.
3Ouinge Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos akola in mweuni mwet Ai. El sulela tausin tolngoul mwet pisrla ke mweun ac supwalosla ke fong,
4He 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.
4ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos som ac wikwik akngusrikya tukun siti ah, ac tupan pacl in mweun. Nimet som loesla liki siti ah.
5I 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.
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.
6They 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,
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.
7and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
7Na kowos fah tuyak liki acn kowos wikwik we, ac utyak ac sruokya siti sac. LEUM GOD lowos el ac fah sot nu inpouwos.
8It shall be, when you have seized the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do this according to the LORD’s word. Behold, I have commanded you.”
8Tukun kowos sruokya siti sac, kowos esukak, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin. Pa ingan sap ku kowos in fahsr kac.”
9Joshua 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.
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.
10Joshua rose up early in the morning, mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
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.
11All 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.
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.
12He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
12El eis apkuran in mwet tausin limekosr ac sap elos in wikla inmasrlon Bethel ac Ai, layen roto in Ai.
13So 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.
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.
14When 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.
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.
15Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
15Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos oru acnu mu elos kaingkunulos ac elos kaing nu yen mwesis.
16All the people who were in the city were called together to pursue after them. They pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
16Suliyuk mwet nukewa in siti sac in tuku ac ukwe mwet lal Joshua, ac ke elos ukwal Joshua, elos loeselik liki siti sac.
17There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who didn’t go out after Israel. They left the city open, and pursued Israel.
17Mwet Ai nukewa elos som ukwe mwet Israel, ac mutunpot in siti sac ikakelik na ac wangin mwet lula in karingin.
18The LORD 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.
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.
19The 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.
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.
20When 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.
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.
21When 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.
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.
22The 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.
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,
23They captured the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
23sayen tokosra Ai. Sruhu el ac utukla nu yorol Joshua.
24When 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.
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.
25All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the people of Ai.
25Pisen mwet Ai, mukul ac mutan, pa singoul luo tausin, ac elos nukewa anwuki in len sac.
26For Joshua didn’t draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
26Joshua el kolla na osra soko inpaol ah nwe ke na mwet nukewa in Ai anwukla.
27Israel took for themselves only the livestock and the goods of that city, according to the LORD’s word which he commanded Joshua.
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.
28So Joshua burned Ai and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.
28Ouinge Joshua el esukak acn Ai ac wanginla ma fac nwe misenge.
29He 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.
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.
30Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
30Na Joshua el etoak sie loang Fineol Ebal nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
31as Moses the servant of the LORD 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 the LORD and sacrificed peace offerings.
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 .
32He wrote there on the stones a copy of Moses’ law, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
32Joshua el simusla ma sap fin eot ah ye mutun mwet nukewa, in oana ke Moses el tuh simusla meet ah.
33All Israel, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of the LORD’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 the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
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.
34Afterward 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.
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.
35There 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.
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.
