You shall do [the same] to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king; [except that] you shall take only its spoil and its cattle as plunder for yourselves. Set up an ambush for the city behind it [on the west side].”
And 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.
“Do to Ai and its king what you did to Jericho and its king. Only this time you may plunder its stuff and cattle to your heart’s content. Set an ambush behind the city.” 3-8 Joshua and all his soldiers got ready to march on Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand men, tough, seasoned fighters, and sent them off at night with these orders: “Look sharp now. Lie in ambush behind the city. Get as close as you can. Stay alert. I and the troops with me will approach the city head-on. When they come out to meet us just as before, we’ll turn and run. They’ll come after us, leaving the city. As we are off and running, they’ll say, ‘They’re running away just like the first time.’ That’s your signal to spring from your ambush and take the city. God, your God, will hand it to you on a platter. Once you have the city, burn it down. God says it, you do it. Go to it. I’ve given you your orders.”
You shall do to Ai and its king just as you did to Jericho and its king; you shall take only its spoil and its cattle as plunder for yourselves. [a]Set an ambush for the city behind it.”
Remember what you did to Jericho and its king. You will do the same thing to Ai and its king. But this time you can keep for yourselves the livestock and everything else you take from them. Have some of your fighting men hide behind the city and take them by surprise.”
You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the city.”
You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the city.’
You will destroy them as you destroyed Jericho and its king. But this time you may keep the plunder and the livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the town.”
Arabic
فَتُجْرِي عَلَى عَايَ وَمَلِكِهَا مَا أَجْرَيْتَهُ عَلَى أَرِيحَا وَمَلِكِهَا، غَيْرَ أَنَّكُمْ تَنْهَبُونَ لأَنْفُسِكُمْ غَنِيمَتَهَا وَبَهَائِمَهَا. انْصُبْ كَمِيناً خَلْفَ الْمَدِينَةِ».

I skal gøre med dem, som I gjorde med kongen og indbyggerne i Jeriko, men denne gang må I selv beholde krigsbyttet og kvæget. I skal lægge baghold vest for byen.” 3-4 Så gjorde Josva og Israels hær sig klar til at angribe Aj. Josva udvalgte 30.000 krigere og gav dem følgende besked: „I skal lægge jer i baghold vest for byen og være klar til at angribe.

Himuon ninyo sa Ai kag sa iya hari ang ginhimo ninyo sa Jerico kag sa iya hari; pero sa sini nga tion, kuhaon ninyo ang ila mga pagkabutang kag mga kasapatan para sa inyo kaugalingon. Magpreparar kamo kag ambusa ninyo sila sa likod sang banwa.”

エリコとその王にしたとおり、アイとその王にもせよ。ただし、今回は奪い取ったものや家畜を自分たちの戦利品としてもよい。町の後方には伏兵を置きなさい。」 3-4 本隊がアイに向かう前に、ヨシュアは三万の精兵をひそかに派遣し、いつでも行動を起こせるよう、アイの後方のそれほど遠くない場所に、伏兵として忍ばせました。

너는 여리고와 그 왕에게 했던 것처럼 아이성과 그 왕에게도 그렇게 하여라. 그러나 전과는 달리 약탈한 물건과 가축은 너희가 가져도 좋다. 이번에는 성 뒤에 병력을 매복시켜라.” 3-4 그래서 여호수아는 아이성을 칠 주력 부대가 떠나기에 앞서 30,000명의 정예병을 뽑아 그들에게 작전 명령을 하달하였다. “여러분은 성 뒤로 가서 그리 멀리 떨어지지 않은 지점에 매복하여 공격 준비를 하시오.

Met hen moet u hetzelfde doen als met Jericho en zijn koning, behalve dan dat u de buit en het vee voor uzelf mag houden. Achter de stad moet u een deel van het leger in hinderlaag leggen.’ 3,4 Voordat het leger naar Ai trok, stuurde Jozua ʼs nachts dertigduizend van zijn dapperste mannen naar de andere kant van Ai, waar zij in een hinderlaag moesten gaan liggen, niet te ver van de stad en klaar om toe te slaan.

Você fará com Ai e seu rei o que fez com Jericó e seu rei; e desta vez vocês poderão se apossar dos despojos e dos animais. Prepare uma emboscada atrás da cidade”.
Farás com eles como fizeste com Jericó e o seu rei, mas desta vez poderão guardar para vocês o que tiver sido saqueado, mais o gado. Ponham uma emboscada por detrás da cidade.” 3-4 Antes que o grosso do exército se deslocasse para Ai, Josué enviou 30 000 dos seus soldados mais valentes para se emboscarem, mesmo atrás da cidade, preparados para entrarem em ação.
