¹Markaasaa 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;

¹And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be dismayed. Take with thee all the people of war, 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.

²oo 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.

²And thou shalt do to Ai and to its king as thou didst to Jericho and to its king; only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take as prey for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it.

³Sidaas 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.

³And Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. And Joshua chose thirty thousand valiant men, and sent them away by night.

⁴Oo wuxuu ku amray oo ku yidhi, Bal maqla, waxaad gaaddaan magaalada xaggeeda dambe, oo ha ka fogaanina magaalada, laakiinse kulligiin diyaar ahaada;

⁴And he commanded them, saying, See, ye shall be in ambush against the city, behind the city: go not very far from the city, and be all of you ready.

⁵oo 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.

⁵And I and all the people that are with me will approach to the city; and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.

⁶Markaasay 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.

⁶And 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; and we will flee before them.

⁷Oo markaas waa inaad gaadmada ka timaadaan, oo aad magaalada qabsataan, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa gacanta idiin gelin doona iyada.

⁷And ye shall rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city; and Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.

⁸Oo markii aad magaalada qabsataan, waa inaad dab qabadsiisaan magaalada, oo waxaad yeeshaan si waafaqsan ereyga Rabbiga; bal eega, sidaasaan idinku amraye.

⁸And it shall be when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.

⁹Markaasaa 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.

⁹And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai. And Joshua lodged that night among the people.

¹⁰Kolkaasaa Yashuuca aroor hore kacay, oo dadkii isu ururiyey, oo isagii iyo waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil waxay dadkii u hor kaceen xaggii Aacii.

¹⁰And Joshua rose early in the morning, and inspected the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

¹¹Oo 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.

¹¹And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew near, and came before the city; and they encamped on the north of Ai; and the valley was between them and Ai.

¹²Markaasuu wuxuu kaxaystay rag shan kun ku dhow, oo wuxuu gaadmo u diray meel u dhexaysa Beytel iyo Aacii, oo magaalada ka xigta xagga galbeed.

¹²Now he had taken about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city.

¹³Markaasay 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.

¹³And when they had set the people, the whole camp on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

¹⁴Oo 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.

¹⁴And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hasted and rose early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the appointed place before the plain. But he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

¹⁵Markaasaa Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay iska dhigeen sidii iyagoo laga adkaaday, oo waxay ku carareen xaggii jidka cidlada.

¹⁵And Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten before them; and they fled by the way of the wilderness.

¹⁶Markaasaa dadkii magaalada joogay oo dhan waxaa loogu wada yeedhay inay eryadaan reer binu Israa'iil, oo intay Yashuuca eryanayeen ayaa iyagii laga fogeeyey magaaladii.

¹⁶And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them; and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.

¹⁷Oo 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.

¹⁷And not a man remained in Ai and Bethel that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.

¹⁸Markaasaa 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.

¹⁸And Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that he had in his hand toward the city.

¹⁹Markaasaa 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.

¹⁹And the ambush arose quickly from their place, and they ran when he stretched out his hand, and came into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.

²⁰Oo 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.

²⁰And the men of Ai turned and saw, and behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that fled to the wilderness turned upon the pursuers.

²¹Oo 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.

²¹When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up, they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.

²²Oo 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.

²²And the others went 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, until they let none of them escape or flee away.

²³Oo boqorkii Aacii isagoo nool bay qabteen, oo waxay u keeneen Yashuuca.

²³And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

²⁴Oo 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.

²⁴And it came to pass when Israel had ended slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had chased them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

²⁵Oo intii maalintaas le'atay rag iyo dumarba waxay ahaayeen laba iyo toban kun, oo intaasuna waxay ahayd dadkii reer Aacii oo dhan.

²⁵And so it was, that all who fell that day, men as well as women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai.

²⁶Waayo, Yashuuca gacantii uu waranka ku taagay dib uma celin ilaa uu wada baabbi'iyey dadkii Aacii degganaa oo dhan.

²⁶And Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out with the javelin, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

²⁷Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay keliyahoo dheceen xoolihii iyo alaabtii magaalada, sidii erayga Rabbiga uu Yashuuca ku amray ahaa.

²⁷Only, the cattle and the spoil of the city Israel took as prey to themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which he had commanded Joshua.

²⁸Sidaasaa Yashuuca u gubay Aacii, oo wuxuu ka dhigay tuulmo cidla weligeed ah ilaa maantadan la joogo.

²⁸And Joshua burned Ai, and made it an everlasting heap of desolation to this day.

²⁹Oo 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.

²⁹And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcase down from the tree, and threw it down at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised upon it a great heap of stones, [which remains] to this day.

³⁰Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil Buur Ceebaal uga dhisay meel allabari,

³⁰Then Joshua built an altar to Jehovah the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,

³¹sidii 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.

³¹as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which iron had not been lifted up. And they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.

³²Oo wuxuu dhagaxyadii ku qoray naqil sharcigii Muuse ah oo uu ku qoray reer binu Israa'iil hortooda.

³²And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written before the children of Israel.

³³Oo 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.

³³And all Israel, and their elders, and their officers and judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the stranger as the home-born [Israelite]; half of them toward mount Gerizim, and the other half of them toward mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel, in the beginning.

³⁴Oo dabadeedna wuxuu akhriyey erayadii sharciga oo dhan, ducadii iyo habaarkiiba, siday ahaayeen wixii ku qornaa kitaabkii sharciga oo dhan.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.

³⁴And afterwards 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.

³⁵Oo 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.

³⁵There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua read not before the whole congregation of Israel, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that lived among them.
