1And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:
1 Rabbi ne Yasuwa se: «Ma si humburu, ni bina ma si pati mo. Ma soojey kulu sambu ni banda ka tun ka ziji ka koy Ayi. A go, Ayi koyo d'a borey, d'a birno d'a laabo, i kulu ay n'i daŋ ni kambe ra.
2And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
2 Mate kaŋ cine ni te Yeriko da nga koyo se, yaadin cine no ni ga te Ayi da nga koyo mo se. Kal a wongu arzaka hinne, d'a almaney, woodin yaŋ araŋ g'i ta danga araŋ bumbey riiba. Ma gumandiyaŋ te birno se banda.»
3So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night.
3 Yasuwa binde tun, nga nda soojey kulu a banda, zama i ma ziji ka koy Ayi. Yasuwa na yaarukom zambar waranza suuban. A n'i donton cin haray.
4And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
4 A n'i lordi ka ne: «Wa guna, araŋ no ga gum birno banda. Day, araŋ ma si mooru birno gumo bo, amma araŋ kulu ma bara soolante.
5And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
5 Ay mo, in da borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go ay banda, iri ga koy ka maan birno. A ga te ka ciya mo, saaya kaŋ i fatta ka wongu nd'iri, danga mate kaŋ i jin ka te, iri wo ga zuru i se.
6(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.
6 I ga fatta k'iri gana, hal iri m'i candi birno banda. Zama i ga ne: ‹I goono ga zuru iri se, danga ijina cine.› Woodin se no iri ga zuru i se.
7Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
7 Araŋ mo ma tun araŋ tuguyaŋo ra, ka birno ŋwa, zama Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo ga birno daŋ araŋ kambe ra.
8And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
8 Saaya kaŋ cine araŋ na birno ŋwa, araŋ ma danji daŋ birno gaa ka goy Rabbi sanno boŋ. A go, ay n'araŋ no lordi.»
9Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
9 Yasuwa binde n'i donton.I koy ka tugu ngey gumyaŋo do. I go Betel da Ayi game ra, Ayi se wayna kaŋay haray. Amma Yasuwa wo kani noodin jama do.
10And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
10 Yasuwa biya ka tun susubay za nda hinay ka jama margu ka ziji, nga nda Israyla arkusey. I go borey jine ga koy Ayi.
11And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.
11 Borey kulu binde, danga soojey kaŋ yaŋ go a banda, i ziji ka maan. I kaa birno jine ka gata sinji Ayi se azawa kambe haray. Gooru mo go ngey nda Ayi game ra.
12And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
12 A na boro zambar gu fay k'i gumandi Betel da Ayi game ra, birno wayna kaŋay haray.
13And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
13 Yaadin cine no i na borey kayandi, danga soojey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go birno azawa kamba, d'i gumandi izey kaŋ yaŋ go birno wayna kaŋa. Cino din ra binde Yasuwa koy gooro bindo ra.
14And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
14 Waato kaŋ Ayi koyo di woodin, i cahã ka tun susubay nda hinay. Birno borey mo fun taray zama ngey ma Israyla wongu, nga nda nga borey kulu, saaya kaŋ cine i sappe, Gooru Beero jine. Amma i mana bay kaŋ gumandi izeyaŋ go birno banda.
15And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
15 Yasuwa nda nga borey kulu na alhaali cabe danga i na ngey ŋwa. I zuru ka saajo fonda gana.
16And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
16 Birno borey kulu margu ka fun birno ra, ngey m'i banda gana se. I binde na Yasuwa banda gana, hala Israyla izey n'i candi k'i kaa birno ra.
17And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
17 I mana alboro baa afolloŋ cindi Ayi wala Betel ra, kaŋ mana fatta ka Israyla izey gana. I na birno meyo naŋ feerante ka Israyla izey gana.
18And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
18 Rabbi ne Yasuwa se: «Ni yaajo kaŋ go ni kambe ra din, m'a salle Ayi do haray, zama ay g'a daŋ ni kamba ra.» Yasuwa na yaajo kaŋ go nga kambe ra din salle ka guna birno do haray.
19And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
19 Gumandi izey mo tun da waasi ka fun ngey nangey ra, saaya kaŋ cine Yasuwa na nga kamba salle. I zuru ka furo birno ra k'a ŋwa. I waasu-waasu ka danji daŋ birno gaa.
20And 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: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
20 Waato kaŋ Ayi borey zagu ka guna, birno dullo go ga ciciri ka koy beene. I si hin ka zuru ka koy ne wala yongo. Jama kaŋ yaŋ jin ka zuru ka koy saajo ra, ngey mo bare ka ye ka kaŋ ngey gaaraykoy boŋ.
21And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
21 Waato kaŋ Yasuwa nda Israyla kulu di kaŋ gumandi izey na birno ŋwa, hala birno dullo go ga tun beene, i ye ka bare ka Ayi borey wi.
22And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
22 Ya-haray waney mo fun i se birno ra haray. Yaadin gaa, danga i go Israyla bindo ra nooya. Afooyaŋ go kambu woone gaa, afooyaŋ mo go ya-haray. I n'i kar hal i mana baa afo cindi i ra, wala boro kaŋ zuru ka yana.
23And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
23 I na Ayi koyo di da fundi ka kand'a Yasuwa do.
24And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
24 Waato kaŋ cine Israyla izey na Ayi borey kulu kaŋ go batama ra da saajo ra nangey kaŋ yaŋ i n'i gana din wi ka ban, kala takuba n'i kulu zeeri k'i kulu ban, gaa no Israyla kulu bare ka ye Ayi. I n'a kar da takuba.
25And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
25 Boro kulu kaŋ takuba zeeri han din, alboro nda wayboro, boro zambar way cindi hinka no, danga Ayi borey kulu nooya.
26For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
26 Zama Yasuwa mana nga kamba kaŋ ra yaajo go din candi, kala waati kaŋ a na Ayi gorokoy kulu halaci ka ban, parkatak!
27Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.
27 Kala almaney da birno din riiba, Israyla n'i sambu danga ngey bumbey arzaka, Rabbi sanno kaŋ a na Yasuwa lordi nd'a boŋ.
28And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
28 Yaadin cine no Yasuwa na Ayi ton d'a, ka te laabu gusam hal abada, kurmu nooya hala ka kaa hunkuna.
29And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcass down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.
29 A na Ayi koyo mo sarku tuuri fo gaa kala wiciri kambo to. Saaya kaŋ wayna ga ba ka kaŋ, Yasuwa lordi ka ne i ma buukwa zumandi ka kaa tuuro gaa. I n'a jindaw birno me gaa ka tondi tulluwa a boŋ, hala ka kaa hunkuna.
30Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,
30 Yasuwa na sargay feema cina Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo se, Ebal tondo ra.
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 whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
31 I te danga mate kaŋ Rabbi tamo Musa na Israyla izey lordi nd'a, danga mate kaŋ i hantum Musa asariya tira ra. A ne feema ma ciya wo kaŋ i mana a tondey jabu, wo kaŋ yaŋ boro kulu mana jabuyaŋ jinay daŋ i gaa ba ce fo. A boŋ no i na sargay kaŋ i ga ton yaŋ te Rabbi se, i na saabuyaŋ sargayey mo te.
32And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
32 Yasuwa binde ye ka Musa asariya hantum tondiyaŋ gaa. Israyla izey jine no a n'a hantum.
33And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
33 Israyla kulu binde, d'i arkusey d'i wongu nyaŋey, d'i alkaaley, yaw da kwaarayze i kulu afo no, i kay, afooyaŋ kambu woone gaa, jarey mo ya-haray. I na sundurko daŋ game alfagey jine, danga Lawitey nooya, kaŋ yaŋ ga Rabbi sappa sundurko sambu. Jara go Gerizim tondo do haray, jara mo go Ebal tondo do haray, danga mate kaŋ Rabbi tamo Musa lordi za sintina. A ne i ma Israyla jama albarkandi.
34And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
34 Woodin banda a na asariya sanney kulu caw, albarka da laaliyaŋ, hay kulu kaŋ i hantum asariya tira ra boŋ.
35There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
35 A mana cindi sanni kulu Musa lordey ra kaŋ Yasuwa mana caw Israyla jama kulu jine, hala nda wayborey da zankey da yawey kaŋ yaŋ go i ra.
