1 T he Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid. Take all the men of war with you and go up to Ai. See, I have given the king of Ai into your hand, his people, his city, and his land.

Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Ha cabsan, hana qalbi jabin. Ragga dagaalyahannada ah oo dhan kaxayso, oo kac oo waxaad tagtaa xagga Aacii, oo bal eeg, adigaan gacanta ku geliyey boqorka Aacii, iyo dadkiisa, iyo magaaladiisa, iyo dalkiisaba;

2 D o the same to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Take only its riches and its cattle for yourselves. Hide men behind the city to fight against it.”

oo Aacii iyo boqorkeedaba waxaad ku samaysaa wixii aad ku samaysay Yerixoo iyo boqorkeedii; alaabteeda iyo xoolaheedase waa inaad dhacdaan oo qaadataan. Oo magaalada xagga dambe ka gaad.

3 S o Joshua and all the men of war got ready to go up to Ai. Joshua chose 30, 000 strong soldiers, and sent them out during the night.

Sidaas daraaddeed Yashuuca waa kacay, isagii iyo raggii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhammu, si ay Aacii u tagaan, oo Yashuuca wuxuu dooray soddon kun oo nin oo ah rag xoog leh, oo wuxuu diray goor habeennimo ah.

4 H e told them, “See, you are going to fight the city from behind it. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.

Oo wuxuu ku amray oo ku yidhi, Bal maqla, waxaad gaaddaan magaalada xaggeeda dambe, oo ha ka fogaanina magaalada, laakiinse kulligiin diyaar ahaada;

5 I and all the people will come near the city. When they come out to meet us as they did before, we will run from them.

oo aniga iyo dadka ila jira oo dhammuba waxaannu u dhowaan doonnaa magaalada, oo markay dibadda noogu soo baxaan sida kolkii ugu horraysay, waannu ka carari doonnaa hortooda.

6 T hey will come out after us until we have taken them away from the city. For they will say, ‘They are running from us as they did before.’ So we will run from them.

Markaasay na soo eryan doonaan ilaa aannu iyaga magaalada ka fogayno; waayo, waxay is-odhan doonaan, Sidii markii ugu horraysay bay naga cararayaan, oo sidaasaannu uga hor carari doonnaa iyaga.

7 T hen you will come out of your hiding place and take the city. The Lord will give it to you.

Oo markaas waa inaad gaadmada ka timaadaan, oo aad magaalada qabsataan, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa gacanta idiin gelin doona iyada.

8 W hen you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do what the Lord says. See, I have told you.”

Oo markii aad magaalada qabsataan, waa inaad dab qabadsiisaan magaalada, oo waxaad yeeshaan si waafaqsan ereyga Rabbiga; bal eega, sidaasaan idinku amraye.

9 W hen Joshua sent them away, they went to the hiding place. They waited between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai. But Joshua stayed that night among the people.

Markaasaa Yashuuca iyagii diray; oo waxay tageen meeshii gaadmada, oo waxay joogeen meel u dhaxaysa Beytel iyo Aacii, oo galbeed ka xigta Aacii; laakiinse habeenkaas Yashuuca dadkii buu ku dhex baryay.

10 J oshua got up early in the morning and gathered the people. Then he went up with the leaders of Israel in front of the people to Ai.

Kolkaasaa Yashuuca aroor hore kacay, oo dadkii isu ururiyey, oo isagii iyo waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil waxay dadkii u hor kaceen xaggii Aacii.

11 A ll the men of war who were with him went up and came to the front of the city. They stayed on the north side of Ai. There was a valley between him and Ai.

Oo dadkii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhan oo ah kuwii isaga la jiray way wada tageen oo intay soo dhowaadeen ayay magaaladii hor yimaadeen, oo waxay degeen dhinaca woqooyi oo Aacii; oo dooxo baa u dhexaysay isaga iyo Aacii.

12 T hen he took about 5, 000 men and hid them between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

Markaasuu wuxuu kaxaystay rag shan kun ku dhow, oo wuxuu gaadmo u diray meel u dhexaysa Beytel iyo Aacii, oo magaalada ka xigta xagga galbeed.

13 S o they put the men in their places. There was the army on the north side of the city, and the secret army on the west side of the city. But Joshua stayed that night in the center of the valley.

Markaasay diyaariyeen dadkii oo dhan, xataa ciidankii magaalada xagga woqooyi ka xigay oo dhan, iyo kuwoodii gaadmada ugu qarsoonaa magaalada xaggeeda galbeed, oo Yashuucana habeenkaas wuxuu dhaxay dooxadii dhexdeeda.

14 T he king of Ai saw this. So the men of the city were quick to get up early and go out to meet Israel in battle at the chosen place near the desert plain. But he did not know that there was an army hiding behind the city.

Oo markii boqorkii Aacii taas arkay, ayay isaga iyo dadkiisa oo dhammu aroor hore keceen oo dhaqsadeen, oo markaasay dadkii magaaladu dagaal ugu bexeen reer binu Israa'iil wakhtigii la yidhi, oo waxay wada tageen meel ka horraysa Caraabaah, laakiinse ma uu ogayn in rag gaadmo ugu qarsoon yahay magaalada dabadeeda.

15 J oshua and all Israel pretended to be beaten in front of them. And they ran away into the desert.

Markaasaa Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay iska dhigeen sidii iyagoo laga adkaaday, oo waxay ku carareen xaggii jidka cidlada.

16 A ll the people in the city were called together to go after them. They went after Joshua, and were taken away from the city.

Markaasaa dadkii magaalada joogay oo dhan waxaa loogu wada yeedhay inay eryadaan reer binu Israa'iil, oo intay Yashuuca eryanayeen ayaa iyagii laga fogeeyey magaaladii.

17 S o not a man was left in Ai or Bethel who had not gone out after Israel. They left the city open and ran after Israel.

Oo nin keliyahu kuma hadhin Aacii iyo Beytel toona, oo aan daba gelin reer binu Israa'iil; oo magaaladii oo furan bay ka tageen, oo waxay eryadeen reer binu Israa'iil.

18 T hen the Lord said to Joshua, “Hold out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai. For I will give the city to you.” So Joshua held out the spear that was in his hand toward the city.

Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Waranka gacantaada ku jira xagga Aacii ku taag, waayo, adigaan gacanta kuu gelin doonaa Aacii. Markaasaa Yashuuca warankii gacantiisa ku jiray wuxuu ku taagay xaggii magaalada.

19 T he men who were hiding got up in a hurry from their place and ran when he held out his hand. They went into the city and took it, and were quick to set it on fire.

Markaasaa haddiiba raggii gaadmada u qarsoonaa ka soo bexeen meeshoodii ay ku jireen, oo markuu gacanta taagay ayay haddiiba soo ordeen, oo waxay galeen magaaladii, wayna qabsadeen; oo intay dhaqsadeen ayay magaaladii dab qabadsiiyeen.

20 W hen the men of Ai looked back, they saw the smoke of the city going up to the sky. They had no place to run. Then the people of Israel who had been running away in the desert turned against those who went after them.

Oo dadkii reer Aacii markay dib u eegeen ayay waxay arkeen qiiqii magaalada oo samada kor ugu baxaya, oo mana ay lahayn xoog ay ugu cararaan xaggan ama xaggaa; oo dadkii u cararay xagga cidlada waxay dib ugu soo jeesteen raacdadii daba joogtay.

21 J oshua and all Israel saw that the men who had been hiding had taken the city. They saw the smoke from the city, so they turned around and killed the men of Ai.

Oo markii Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu arkeen in raggii gaadmada ahaa ay magaaladii qabsadeen, iyo in magaalada qiiqeedii kor u baxay, ayay dib u soo noqdeen, oo waxay laayeen dadkii reer Aacii.

22 T he others came out from the city to meet them. The men of Ai were caught in the center of Israel. There were some on one side and some on the other side. They killed until no one was left alive. No one got away.

Oo kuwii kalena waxay iyaga kaga soo bexeen magaaladii, sidaas daraaddeed waxay ku dhex jireen reer binu Israa'iil, iyadoo qaarna dhinacan ka xigo, qaarna dhinacaas ka xigo; oo way wada laayeen, oo midna kama reebin, qofna kama baxsan.

23 B ut they took the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.

Oo boqorkii Aacii isagoo nool bay qabteen, oo waxay u keeneen Yashuuca.

24 I srael killed all the men of Ai in the field and in the desert where they had run after them. All of them were killed with the sword until they were destroyed. Then all Israel returned to Ai and destroyed it with the sword.

Oo markii reer binu Israa'iil dhammeeyeen oo ay dadkii Aacii degganaan jiray ku wada laayeen duurkii, iyo cidladii ay u eryadeen, oo ay seef ku wada le'deen ilaa ay wada baabbe'een, ayaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku soo noqdeen Aacii xaggeedii, oo waxay ku laayeen seef.

25 A ll the men and women of Ai died that day, 12, 000 in all.

Oo intii maalintaas le'atay rag iyo dumarba waxay ahaayeen laba iyo toban kun, oo intaasuna waxay ahayd dadkii reer Aacii oo dhan.

26 J oshua did not put down his hand he used to hold out the spear until he had destroyed all the people of Ai.

Waayo, Yashuuca gacantii uu waranka ku taagay dib uma celin ilaa uu wada baabbi'iyey dadkii Aacii degganaa oo dhan.

27 I srael took only the cattle and the riches of that city for themselves, as the Lord had told Joshua.

Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay keliyahoo dheceen xoolihii iyo alaabtii magaalada, sidii erayga Rabbiga uu Yashuuca ku amray ahaa.

28 S o Joshua burned Ai and destroyed it forever, as it is to this day.

Sidaasaa Yashuuca u gubay Aacii, oo wuxuu ka dhigay tuulmo cidla weligeed ah ilaa maantadan la joogo.

29 H e hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening. When the sun went down, Joshua had them take his body down from the tree and throw it down at the gate of the city. They put many stones over it, and they are there to this day.

Oo boqorkii Aaciina geed buu ka soo deldelay, oo wuxuu sudhnaa ilaa makhribkii, oo qorraxdhicii ayaa Yashuuca amray, markaasay meydkiisii geedkii ka soo dejiyeen, oo waxay ku tuureen iridda magaalada laga soo galo, oo waxay ku tuuleen dhagaxyo badan oo jira ilaa maantadan. Axdigii Oo Lagu Soo Cusboonaysiiyey Buur Ceebaal

30 T hen Joshua built an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Mount Ebal.

Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil Buur Ceebaal uga dhisay meel allabari,

31 I t was built just as the Lord’s servant Moses had told the people of Israel, as it is written in the book of the Law of Moses. It was an altar made of stones which had not been cut. No one had used an iron object on them. On the altar they gave burnt gifts in worship to the Lord. And there they gave peace gifts in worship.

sidii addoonkii Rabbiga oo Muuse ahaa reer binu Israa'iil ugu amray, iyo sida ku qoran kitaabkii sharciga Muuse, oo waxay ahayd meel allabari oo ah dhagaxyo aan la qorin oo aan ninna bir u qaadin; oo waxay Rabbiga ugu kor bixiyeen qurbaanno la gubo, iyo qurbaanno nabaadiino.

32 T here Joshua wrote on the stones the Law of Moses in front of the people of Israel.

Oo wuxuu dhagaxyadii ku qoray naqil sharcigii Muuse ah oo uu ku qoray reer binu Israa'iil hortooda.

33 A ll Israel stood on both sides of the special box, in front of the Levite religious leaders who carried the special box of the agreement of the Lord. Strangers stood there as well as those born among the people, with their leaders and heads and men who judge between what is right or wrong. Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim. The other half stood in front of Mount Ebal. They did just as the Lord’s servant Moses had told them before. They prayed for good to come to the people of Israel.

Oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan iyo waayeelladoodii, iyo saraakiishoodii, iyo xaakinnadoodiiba, waxay istaageen sanduuqii dhankiisa shishe iyo dhankiisa soke oo ka horreeya wadaaddada reer Laawi oo siday sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga, qariibka iyo kii waddanka ku dhashayba, oo badhkood wuxuu is-hor taagay Buur Gerisiim, badhkoodii kalena wuxuu is-hor taagay Buur Ceebaal sidii addoonkii Rabbiga oo Muuse ahaa ku amray inay marka hore u duceeyaan reer binu Israa'iil.

34 A fter this Joshua read all the words of the Law, the good and the bad that will happen. He read all that is written in the book of the Law.

Oo dabadeedna wuxuu akhriyey erayadii sharciga oo dhan, ducadii iyo habaarkiiba, siday ahaayeen wixii ku qornaa kitaabkii sharciga oo dhan.

35 T here was not a word of all that Moses had said which Joshua did not read. He read it in front of all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers who were living among them.

Oo ma jirin eray Muuse amray oo aan Yashuuca ku hor akhriyin shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo dumarkii, iyo dhallaankii, iyo kuwii qariibka ahaa oo iyaga dhex socdayba.
