Yosiua 10
1 Yelusaleme hina bagade amo Adounaisidege da Yosiua da Yeligou mugululi ea hina bagade fane legei amo defele A: iai mugululi, ea hina bagade medole legei, amo nabi dagoi. E da Gibione dunu da Isala: ili dunuma gousa: su hamone, ilia fi amo ganodini esala amola nabi.
Later, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua’s army had captured Ai [town] and had destroyed everything in the town. He heard that they had done to the people of Ai and to their king the same thing that they had done to the people of Jericho and their king. He also heard that the people of Gibeon [city] had made a peace treaty with the Israeli people, and that the people of Gibeon were now living near the Israelis and being protected by them.
2 Yelusaleme dunu fi da bagadewane beda: i. Bai Gibione da moilai bai bagade. Gibione da moilai huluane hina bagade gala amo defele galu. Ilia dadi gagui dunu da gasa bagade amola Gibione moilai ea defei da A: iai moilai defei baligiligai.
Because of that, he and the people whom he ruled became very afraid, because Gibeon was an important city, like the other cities that had kings. And [even though] Gibeon was a larger city than Ai and all its soldiers were good fighters, [they thought Joshua’s army might defeat them].
3 Amaiba: le, Adounaisidege da Hibalone hina bagade Houha: me, Yamade hina bagade Ba: ila: me, La: igisi hina bagade Yafaia amola Egelone hina bagade Dibe ilima sia: adole iasi, amane,
So King Adonizedek sent a message to Hosham the king of Hebron [city], to Piram the king of Jarmuth [city], to Jarmuth the king of Lachish [city], and to Debir the king of Eglon [city].
4 “Nama fidila misa. Gibione moilai bai bagade dunu da Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu ilima gousa: su hamoiba: le, na da Gibione doagala: musa: masunu.”
In the message he said, “Please come up with your armies and help me to attack Gibeon, because the people of Gibeon have made a peace treaty with Joshua and the Israelis.”
5 Amo A: moulaide hina bagade biyale gala amo Yelusaleme hina bagade, Yamade hina bagade, La: igisi hina bagade amola Egelone hina bagade, ilia da gilisili Gibione moilai bai bagade sisiga: le, doagala: i.
So those five kings who ruled all the groups who were descendants of Amor—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Debir—came up with all of their soldiers and surrounded the city. Then they prepared to attack it.
6 Gibione dunu da Yosiua (Giliga: le abula moilaiga esalu) ema sia: adole iasi, “Nini mae fisima! Wahadafa nini gaga: la misa! Agolo sogega esala A: moulaide hina bagade huluane da gilisili ninima doagala: i dagoi.”
So the people of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua while he was in the camp at Gilgal. They said, “We are your servants. So do not forsake us. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because the kings of all of the groups descended from Amor and their armies have joined their forces and have come from the hilly area to attack us!”
7 Amaiba: le, Yosiua amola ea dadi gagui dunu huluane (noga: idafa dadi gagui amola da asi) da Giliga: le yolesi.
So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
8 Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Ilima mae beda: ma. Na da dima hasalasu hou i dagoi. Dunu afae da dima bu gasawane gegemu hamedei ba: mu.”
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of those armies! I will enable your army to defeat them [IDM]. None of them will be able to (resist/fight and defeat) your army.”
9 Daeya wa: le ahoanoba hadigi, Yosiua amola ea dadi gagui dunu da Giliga: le fisili, Gibione moilai bai bagadega asi. Ilia da A: moulaide dunu ilima hedolowane doagala: loba, A:moulaide dunu da fofogadigi.
Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
10 Hina Gode da hamoiba: le, A:moulaide dunu da Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu ba: loba, bagade beda: iba: le hobea: i. Isala: ili dadi gagui da ili bagohame Gibione moilai bai bagadega medole legele, sefasi. Sefasili, ilia da goumi adobo logo amo Bede Houlone amoga sefasili, Asiga moilai amola Ma: gida moilaiga doaga: i.
They attacked their enemies before anyone knew that they had come. Yahweh caused their enemies to (become very confused/start running in all directions) when they saw the Israeli army. As a result, the Israeli army defeated them very severely at Gibeon [and killed many of them]. The rest of them fled along the road that goes up to Beth-Horon. But the Israeli army pursued them and killed them all along the road that goes to Azekah and Makkedah towns.
11 A: moulaide dunu da goumi logoga Isala: ili dadi gagui ilima hobeale ahoananoba, Hina Gode da hamoiba: le, gibu mugene da ilima sa: ili mae fisili Asiga ahoasu amoga sa: i. Amola mugene igi amoga medole legei idi da Isala: ili dunuga medole legei idi amo baligi dagoi.
As they fled in front of the Israeli army, Yahweh threw down huge hailstones from the sky. As a result, more of them died from hailstones falling on them than died as a result of the Israeli army killing them with swords.
12 Amo esoha Hina Gode da hamoiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da A: moulaide dunuma hasali. Amola amo esoha, Isala: ili dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, Yosiua da Hina Gode hamoma: ne amane sia: i, “Eso! Di Gibione moilaiga gadodili leloma. Oubi! Di A: iyalone Fago amoga gadodili leloma.”
On the day that Yahweh enabled the Israeli army to defeat the groups who were descendants of Amor, Joshua said to Yahweh while the Israeli people were listening, “Yahweh, cause the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and cause the moon to not move when it is over Aijalon Valley.”
13 Amalalu, eso da mae asili, oulelu amola oubi da mae asili, oulelu. Isala: ili dunu da ilima ha lai hasali dagoiba: le fawane bu asi. Amo hou da Ya: isa buga ganodini dedei diala. Eso da mu dogoa amo ganodini lelu, eso afaega hame sa: i.
And that is what happened. The sun stood still, and the moon did not move, until the Israeli army defeated their enemies. That is what has been written in the book that Jashar wrote. The sun stopped while it was in the middle of the sky, and did not (set/go down) for about a whole day.
14 Amo hou amo Hina Gode da osobo bagade dunu ea sia: ne ba: su, musa: da hame ba: su amola fa: no amo hame ba: su. Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi fidima: ne gegei.
On that day Yahweh did a great miracle that someone asked him to do. There was never a day like that previously, and there has never been a day like that since. Yahweh was certainly fighting for the Israeli people!
15 Amalalu, Yosiua amola ea dadi gagui dunu da Giliga: le abula diasu gilisisuga buhagi.
After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
16 Be A: moulaide hina bagade biyale gala da hobeale, Ma: gida sogebi gele gelabo amo ganodini wamoaligi.
While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
17 Dunu eno da amo ba: i dagoi. Ilia wamoaligisu ilia da Yosiuama olelei.
Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
18 E amane sia: i, “Gele gelabo amo ea logo holei igi bagadega ga: sima. Ouligisu dunu amo logo ouligima: ne sia: ma.
When Joshua heard that, he said, “Roll some very large rocks to the entrance of the cave so that the kings cannot escape, and leave some soldiers there to guard it.
19 Be dilia amogawi mae esaloma. Ninima ha lai amo sefasili ilia baligiga fane legema. Ilia moilai bai bagadega buhagimu logo hedofama. Dilia Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, dilia da amo dunu hasali dagoi.”
But do not stay there! Pursue our enemies! Attack them from behind! Do not allow them to escape to their cities, because Yahweh, our God, will enable you to defeat/kill them. [IDM]”
20 Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu da amo dunu fane legei dagoi. Be mogili da ilia moilai bai bagade gagoi amo ganodini hobeale, ilia hame fane legei.
So Joshua’s army did what he told them to do. They killed almost all of the enemy soldiers, but a few of them were able to reach their cities and be safe inside the walls of the cities.
21 Amalalu, Yosiua ea dunu huluane da hahawane Ma: gida abula diasu gilisisuga bu misi. Amalalu, amo soge dunu huluane da beda: iba: le, Isala: ili dunuma lasogole sia: mu bagadewane beda: i galu.
Then Joshua’s army returned to Joshua, who was still in their camp at Makkedah. No one in the land dared to criticize [MTY] the Israelis.
22 Amalalu, Yosiua da amane sia: i, “Gele gelabo logo doasili, amo hina bagade biyale gala nama oule misa.”
Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
23 Amaiba: le, ilia da gele gelabo doasili, Yelusaleme, Hibalone, Yamade, La: igisi amola Egelone amoea hina bagade dunu gadili hiouginana asili,
So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24 Yosiuama oule misi. Amalalu, Yosiua da Isala: ili dunu huluane amola dadi gagui ouligisu dunu huluane da e sigi asi, amo ilia emo amo hina bagade dunu ilia gonomagi da: iya osa: la heda: ma: ne sia: i. Ilia amo hamoi dagoi.
When they brought those kings to Joshua [and forced them to lie on the ground], he summoned all the Israeli soldiers, and then he said to the army commanders, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings!” So the commanders did that.
25 Amalalu, Yosiua da ea dadi gagui hina dunuma amane sia: i, “Dilia mae beda: ma mae da: i dioma. Gasa bagadewane amola hahawane hamoma. Bai Hina Gode da dilima ha lai dunu huluane ninia wali hamoi defele hamomu.”
Then Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid of any of our enemies! Never be discouraged! Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all the enemies you will fight!”
26 Amalalu, Yosiua da amo hina bagade biyale gala medole legele, ilia da: i hodo ifa biyale gala amoga hegoa: nesi. Ilia da amogawi hegoa: nesili dialu, eso dabe galu bu lai.
Then Joshua killed each of the five kings with his sword, and told his soldiers to hang the bodies of the five kings on trees. So they did that, and they left the bodies hanging on the trees until sunset.
27 Eso dabe amoga Yosiua da sia: beba: le, ilia da hina bagade dunu amo ilia da: i hodo ifaga fadegale, gele gelabo amo ganodini musa: hina bagade da wamoaligi amoga ha: digi. Ilia da gele bagade bagohame amoga gele gelabo ea logo holeiga dedeboi. Amo gele da wali eso amaiwane diala.
At sunset, Joshua told them to take the bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. So the soldiers did that, and then they put those large rocks at the entrance of the cave again. Those rocks are still there.
28 Yosiua da amo esoga, Ma: gida moilai bai bagade amola ea hina bagade doagala: le, fedele lai. Dunu huluane amo ganodini esalu e da medole legei. Dunu afae esalebe hame ba: i. E da Yeligou hina bagade ema hamoi defele, Ma: gida hina bagadema hamoi.
That is how Joshua’s army attacked and captured Makkedah. They killed the king and everyone else in the town. They did not leave anyone alive. They did to the king of Makkedah the same thing that they had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Amalalu, Yosiua amola ea dadi gagui dunu da Ma: gida fisili, Libina moilai bai bagadega doagala: i.
That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
30 Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da amo moilai amola ea hina bagade hasali. Ilia dunu afae amoma hame asigiwane, huludafa fane legei. Ilia da Yeligou hina bagade ema hamoi amo defele Libina hina bagadema hamoi dagoi.
Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] that city and its king. They killed everyone in the city; they did not (spare anyone/allow anyone to remain alive). They killed the king of Libnah just like they had killed the king of Jericho.
31 Amalalu, Yosiua da Libina fisili, La: igisi moilai bai bagade amo sisiga: le, doagala: i.
Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
32 Eso ageyaduga, Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da La: igisi hasali. Ilia da Libina amoga hamoi defele dunu afae moilai ganodini amoma hame asigiwane, huludafa fane legei.
On the second day of the battle, Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] the city. And like they had done at Libnah, they killed everyone [DOU] in the city.
33 Houla: me (Gise moilai bai bagade hina bagade) da La: igisi dunu fidimusa: misi, be Yosiua da e amola ea dadi gagui dunu hasali. Dunu afae esalebe hame ba: i.
King Horam from Gezer [city and his army] came to help [the soldiers of] Lachish, but Joshua’s [army] defeated Horam and his army, and did not allow any of them to remain alive.
34 Amalalu, Yosiua amola ea dadi gagui dunu da La: igisi fisili, Egelone moilaiga asili, amo moilai sisiga: le, doagala: i.
Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
35 Amo eso afaega ilia da moilai lai. Ilia da La: igisi fi ilima hamoi defele, dunu huluanedafa medole legei.
On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
36 Amalalu, Yosiua amola ea dadi gagui dunu da Egelone moilai fisili, agolo sogega asili, Hibalone moilai bai bagadega doagala: i.
Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
37 Ilia da Hibalone lale, amo hina bagade dunu, amogai esalebe dunu huluane amola dunu huluane moilai sisiga: le ganodini esalu, medole legei. Yosiua ea sia: beba: le, ilia da Egelone moilai amoma hamoi defele, amo moilai gugunufinisi. Dunu afae amo ganodini esalebe hame ba: i.
and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else, just like they had done at Eglon. They did not allow anyone to remain alive.
38 Amalalu, Yosiua amola ea dadi gagui da sinidigili, Dibe moilaiga doagala: i.
Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
39 E da amo moilai, ea hina bagade amola dunu huluane moilale sisiga: le dialu amo ganodini esalu lai dagoi. Yosiua da Hibalone, Libina amola ela hina bagade dunu ilima hamoi defele, e da Dibe amola ea hina bagade amoma hamoi. E da ilia dunu huluane medole legei dagoi.
They captured the city and its king, and also captured the nearby towns. Then they killed everyone [DOU]; they did to the people there the same thing that they had done at Hebron and Libnah.
40 Yosiua da soge huluane hasali. E da hina bagade huluane, amo agolo soge hina bagade, eso mabadi soge hina bagade, eso dabe agolo fonobahadi hina bagade amola hafoga: i soge ga (south) dialebe hina bagade huluane fane legei. E da dunu huludafa medole legei dagoi. Bai Isala: ili Hina Gode da amo hamoma: ne sia: beba: le.
That is how Joshua [and his army] conquered the entire southern part of Canaan. They defeated the kings [who ruled] the hilly area, the dry southern area, the [western] foothills, and the [eastern] slopes. They killed everyone [DOU] in those areas; they did not allow anyone to remain alive.
41 Yosiua da soge huluane lai. Amo da ga (south) Ga: idese Bania asili Ga: isa (amo da wayabo bagade bega: ), Gousiene soge huluane ga (north) asili, Gibione moilai bai bagadega doaga: i.
Joshua’s soldiers captured all the cities from Kadesh-Barnea [city] in the far south to Gaza [city] near the coast, including all the Goshen area, and north to Gibeon [city].
42 Isala: ili Hina Gode da ili fidimusa: gegeiba: le, Yosiua da amo hina bagade amola ilia soge huluane hasali dagoi.
At that one time, Joshua’s army conquered all the kings and captured all the territory that they [ruled]. They were able to do that because Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], was fighting for them.
43 Amalalu, Yosiua amola ea dadi gagui dunu da Giliga: le abula diasu gilisisuga buhagi.
Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
