The Conquest of Ai
1Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Yosua: "Janganlah takut dan janganlah tawar hati; bawalah seluruh tentara dan bersiaplah, majulah ke Ai. Ketahuilah, Aku serahkan kepadamu raja negeri Ai, rakyatnya, kotanya dan negerinya, 2dan haruslah kaulakukan kepada Ai dan rajanya, seperti yang kaulakukan kepada Yerikho dan rajanya; hanya barang-barangnya dan ternaknya boleh kamu jarah. Suruhlah orang bersembunyi di belakang kota itu."
1Now the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not fear or be dismayed. Take all the people of war with you. Arise, go up to Ai; see, I have handed over to you the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land. 2“You shall do to Ai and its king just as you did to Jericho and its king; you shall take only its spoils and its cattle as plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it.”
3Lalu bersiaplah Yosua beserta seluruh tentara untuk pergi ke Ai. Yosua memilih tiga puluh ribu orang, pahlawan-pahlawan yang gagah perkasa, mereka disuruhnya pergi pada waktu malam 4dan kepada mereka diperintahkannya, katanya: "Ketahuilah, kamu harus bersembunyi di belakang kota itu untuk menyerangnya, janganlah terlalu jauh dari kota itu, dan bersiap-siaplah kamu sekalian. 5Aku dan semua orang yang bersama-sama dengan aku akan mendekati kota itu; apabila mereka keluar menyerbu kami, seperti yang pertama kali, maka kami akan melarikan diri dari hadapan mereka. 6Jadi mereka akan keluar menyusul kami, sehingga kami memancing mereka jauh dari kota itu, sebab mereka akan berkata: orang-orang itu melarikan diri dari hadapan kita seperti yang pertama kali. Jika kami melarikan diri dari hadapan mereka, 7maka kamu harus bangun dari tempat persembunyianmu itu untuk menduduki kota itu, dan TUHAN, Allahmu, akan menyerahkannya ke dalam tanganmu. 8Segera setelah kamu merebut kota itu, haruslah kamu membakarnya; sesuai dengan firman TUHAN kamu harus melakukan semuanya itu; ingatlah, itulah perintahku kepadamu." 9Demikianlah Yosua menyuruh mereka pergi, lalu berjalanlah mereka ke tempat persembunyian dan tinggal di antara Betel dan Ai, di sebelah barat Ai. Tetapi Yosua bermalam di tengah-tengah rakyat pada malam itu.
3So Joshua rose up with all the people of war to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose thirty thousand men, valiant warriors, and sent them out at night. 4He commanded them, saying, “See, you are going to ambush the city from behind it. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready. 5“Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out to meet us as they did the first time, we will flee before them. 6“They will come out after us until we have lured them away from the city, for they will say, ‘They are fleeing before us just as they did the first time.’ So we will flee before them. 7“Then you shall rise from your ambush and take possession of the city, for the LORD your God will hand it over to you. 8“Then it will be when you have seized the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do it in accordance with the word of the LORD. See, I have commanded you.” 9So Joshua sent them away, and they went to the place of ambush and remained between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua spent that night among the people.
10Keesokan harinya Yosua bangun pagi-pagi, lalu diperiksanyalah barisan bangsa itu dan berjalanlah ia maju beserta para tua-tua orang Israel di depan bangsa itu ke Ai. 11Juga seluruh tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia berjalan maju; mereka maju mendekat, lalu sampai ke tentangan kota itu, kemudian berkemahlah mereka di sebelah utara Ai, sehingga lembah itu ada di antara mereka dan Ai. 12Yosua telah mengambil kira-kira lima ribu orang, lalu disuruhnya mereka bersembunyi di antara Betel dan Ai, di sebelah barat kota itu. 13Beginilah rakyat itu diatur: seluruh tentara itu di sebelah utara kota dengan barisan belakang di sebelah barat kota. Pada malam itu berjalanlah Yosua melalui lembah itu. 14Pagi-pagi, ketika raja negeri Ai melihat hal itu, maka ia dan seluruh rakyatnya, orang-orang kota itu, segera keluar berperang, menyerbu orang Israel, ke lereng di seberang dataran itu; raja itu tidak tahu, bahwa ada orang bersembunyi di belakang kota. 15Yosua dan seluruh orang Israel itu berlaku seolah-olah dipukul mundur oleh mereka, lalu melarikan diri ke arah padang gurun. 16Sebab itu semua orang yang ada di kota dikerahkan untuk mengejar orang Israel. Maka mereka mengejar Yosua, sehingga makin jauhlah mereka terpancing dari kota. 17Seorangpun tidak tertinggal lagi di Ai dan Betel yang tidak keluar memburu orang Israel. Mereka meninggalkan kota itu terbuka, karena mereka mengejar orang Israel.
10Now Joshua got up early in the morning and mustered the people, and he went up with the elders of Israel before the people to Ai. 11Then all the people of war who were with him went up and approached, and arrived in front of the city; and they camped on the north side of Ai. And there was a valley between him and Ai. 12Then he took about five thousand men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city. 13So they stationed the people, all the army that was on the north side of the city, and its rear guard on the west side of the city, and Joshua spent that night in the midst of the valley. 14And it came about, when the king of Ai saw them, that the men of the city hurried and got up early, and went out to meet Israel in battle, he and all his people at the appointed place before the desert plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city. 15Then Joshua and all Israel pretended to be defeated before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness. 16And all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them, and they pursued Joshua and were lured away from the city. 17So not a man was left in Ai or Bethel, but they had all gone out after Israel, and they left the city unguarded and pursued Israel.
18Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Yosua: "Acungkanlah lembing yang ada di tanganmu ke arah Ai, sebab Aku menyerahkan kota itu ke dalam tanganmu." Maka Yosua mengacungkan lembing yang di tangannya ke arah kota itu. 19Ketika diacungkannya tangannya, maka segeralah bangun orang-orang yang bersembunyi itu dari tempatnya, mereka berlari memasuki kota, merebutnya, lalu segera membakar kota itu. 20Ketika orang Ai berpaling menoleh ke belakang, tampaklah asap kota itu naik membubung ke langit; mereka tidak sempat melarikan diri ke manapun juga, sebab rakyat yang tadinya lari ke padang gurun, berbalik melawan pengejar-pengejarnya. 21Ketika Yosua dan seluruh Israel melihat, bahwa orang-orang yang bersembunyi itu telah merebut kota dan bahwa asap kota itu naik membubung, berbaliklah mereka, lalu menewaskan orang-orang Ai. 22Sementara itu juga keluar orang-orang Israel yang lain dari dalam kota menyerbu orang-orang Ai, sehingga terjepit di tengah-tengah orang Israel itu, yang ini dari sini dan yang itu dari sana; orang-orang Ai ditewaskan, sehingga seorangpun dari mereka tidak ada yang dibiarkan terlepas atau luput. 23Tetapi raja Ai ditangkap mereka hidup-hidup dan dihadapkan kepada Yosua.
18Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Reach out with the sword that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will hand it over to you.” So Joshua reached out with the sword that was in his hand toward the city. 19Then the men in ambush rose quickly from their place, and when he had reached out with his hand, they ran and entered the city and captured it, and they quickly set the city on fire. 20When the men of Ai turned back and looked, behold, the smoke of the city ascended to the sky, and they had no place to flee this way or that, for the people who had been fleeing to the wilderness turned against the pursuers. 21When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that the smoke of the city ascended, they turned back and killed the men of Ai. 22The others came out from the city to confront them, so that they were trapped in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side; and they killed them until there was not one left who escaped or survived. 23But they captured the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.
24Segera sesudah orang Israel selesai membunuh seluruh penduduk kota Ai di padang terbuka ke mana orang Israel mengejar mereka, dan orang-orang ini semuanya tewas oleh mata pedang sampai orang yang penghabisan, maka seluruh Israel kembali ke Ai dan memukul kota itu dengan mata pedang. 25Jumlah semua orang yang tewas pada hari itu, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, ada dua belas ribu orang, semuanya orang Ai. 26Dan Yosua tidak menarik tangannya yang mengacungkan lembing itu, sebelum seluruh penduduk kota Ai ditumpasnya. 27Hanya ternak dan barang-barang kota itu dijarah oleh orang Israel, sesuai dengan firman TUHAN, yang diperintahkan-Nya kepada Yosua. 28Yosua membakar Ai dan membuatnya menjadi timbunan puing untuk selama-lamanya, menjadi tempat yang tandus sampai sekarang. 29Dan raja Ai digantungnya pada sebuah tiang sampai petang. Ketika matahari terbenam, Yosua memerintahkan orang menurunkan mayat itu dari tiang, lalu dilemparkan di depan pintu gerbang kota, kemudian didirikan oranglah di atasnya suatu timbunan batu yang besar, yang masih ada sampai sekarang.
24Now when Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field in the wilderness where they pursued them, and all of them had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed, then all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword. 25So all who fell that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand—all the people of Ai. 26For Joshua did not withdraw his hand with which he reached out with the sword until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 27Israel took only the cattle and the spoils of that city as plunder for themselves, in accordance with the word of the LORD which He had commanded Joshua. 28So Joshua burned Ai and made it a refuse heap forever, a desolation until this day. 29And he hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening; but at sunset Joshua gave the command and they took his body down from the tree and threw it at the entrance of the city gate, and erected over it a large heap of stones that stands to this day.
30Pada waktu itulah Yosua mendirikan mezbah di gunung Ebal bagi TUHAN, Allah Israel, 31seperti yang diperintahkan Musa, hamba TUHAN, kepada orang Israel, menurut apa yang tertulis dalam kitab hukum Musa: suatu mezbah dari batu-batu yang tidak dipahat, yang tidak diolah dengan perkakas besi apapun. Di atasnyalah mereka mempersembahkan korban bakaran kepada TUHAN dan mengorbankan korban keselamatan. 32Dan di sanalah di atas batu-batu itu, dituliskan Yosua salinan hukum Musa, yang dituliskannya di depan orang Israel. 33Seluruh orang Israel, para tua-tuanya, para pengatur pasukannya dan para hakimnya berdiri sebelah-menyebelah tabut, berhadapan dengan para imam yang memang suku Lewi, para pengangkat tabut perjanjian TUHAN itu, baik pendatang maupun anak negeri, setengahnya menghadap ke gunung Gerizim dan setengahnya lagi menghadap ke gunung Ebal, seperti yang dahulu diperintahkan oleh Musa, hamba TUHAN, apabila orang memberkati bangsa Israel. 34Sesudah itu dibacakannyalah segala perkataan hukum Taurat, berkatnya dan kutuknya, sesuai dengan segala apa yang tertulis dalam kitab hukum. 35Tidak ada sepatah katapun dari segala apa yang diperintahkan Musa yang tidak dibacakan oleh Yosua kepada seluruh jemaah Israel dan kepada perempuan-perempuan dan anak-anak dan kepada pendatang yang ikut serta.
30Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal, 31just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones on which no one had wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings. 32And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the Law of Moses, which he had written, in the presence of the sons of Israel. 33And all Israel with their elders, officers, and their judges were standing on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, the stranger as well as the native. Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at first to bless the people of Israel. 34Then afterward he read all the words of the Law, the blessing and the curse, according to everything that is written in the Book of the Law. 35There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel with the women, the little ones, and the strangers who were living among them.
