Joshua 10
1 Joshua loh Ai a buem vaengah Jerikho neh Jerikho manghai taengkah a saii bangla Ai neh Ai manghai taengah a saii tih a thup te khaw, Gibeon khosa rhoek, amih khuikah aka om rhoek khaw Israel neh mooi a thuung uh thae te Jerusalem manghai Adonizedek loh a yaak.
NOW it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
2 Ram kah khopuei rhoek khuiah Gibeon tah pakhat nah khopuei bangla len. Ai lakah a len dongah tongpa hlangrhalh boeih long pataeng mat a rhih uh.
That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
3 Te dongah Jerusalem manghai Adonizedek loh Hebron manghai Hoham, Jarmuth manghai Piram, Lakhish manghai Japhia neh Eglon manghai Debir te a tah.
Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
4 Te vaengah, “Kai taengla ha yoeng uh lamtah kai n'bom uh dae. Joshua taeng neh Israel ca rhoek taengah moi aka thuung Gibeon ke tloek uh dae sih,” a ti nah.
Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
5 Te dongah Amori kah manghai panga neh Jerusalem manghai, Hebron manghai, Jarmuth manghai, Lakhish manghai, Eglon manghai loh tingtun uh tih a lambong neh boeih khoong uh. Te phoeiah Gibeon ah a rhaeh thil uh tih a vathoh thil uh.
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
6 Te vaengah Gibeon kah hlang rhoek te Gilgal rhaehhmuen kah Joshua taengla a tueih uh tih, “Na sal rhoek taengah na kut han hlong boeh. Kaimih taengah koe halo lamtah kaimih he n'khang mai. Tlang kah khosa Amori manghai boeih loh kaimih taengla a tingtun uh dongah kaimih m'bom dae,” a ti nah.
And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
7 Te dongah Joshua amah neh amah taengkah caemtloek pilnam boeih, tatthai hlangrhalh boeih khaw Gilgal lamloh a khoong puei.
So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
8 Tedae BOEIPA loh Joshua taengah, “Amih te rhih boeh, na kut dongah kan tloeng coeng dongah amih khuikah pakhat khaw na mikhmuh ah pai mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
9 Gilgal lamkah khoyin khing a caeh puei vaengah Joshua loh amih taengla buengrhuet pawk.
Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
10 Amih te Israel mikhmuh ah BOEIPA loh a khawkkhek tih Gibeon ah hmasoe len neh a tloek uh. Te phoeiah amih te Bethhoron tangkham long ah a hloem tih Azekah neh Makkedah duela a tloek.
And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
11 Amih khaw Israel mikhmuh lamloh Bethhoron singling ah rhaelrham uh. Tedae amih te BOEIPA loh Azekah duela vaan lamkah lungcang len neh a lun thil. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh cunghang neh a ngawn lakah lungcang rhael dongah aka duek te muep duek uh ngai.
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
12 Te dongah Joshua loh BOEIPA te a voek tih, “Aw BOEIPA Amori he Israel ca kah mikhmuh la tihnin ah tloeng pah laeh. Israel mikhmuh ah khomik loh Gibeon ah, hla long khaw Aijalon kol ah duem dae saeh,” a ti nah.
Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 Te dongah a thunkha namtom te phu a loh hil khomik loh duem tih hla khaw uelh. Jashar cabu dongah khaw, 'Vaan boengli ah khomik loh pai tih hnin at puet ah hat khum pawh,’ tila a daek moenih a?
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14 A mikhmuh ah tekah khohnin bang neh BOEIPA loh hlang ol a hnatun tih Israel ham aka vathoh BOEIPA he a om noek moenih.
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.
15 Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum loh te Gilgal kah rhaehhmuen la bal uh.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
16 Te vaengah manghai panga te rhaelrham uh tih Makkedah kah lungko khuiah thuh uh.
But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17 Tedae Joshua taengah a puen pa tih, “Makkedah kah lungko khuiah aka thuh manghai panga te a hmuh uh coeng,” a ti nah.
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
18 Te dongah Joshua loh, “Lungko kah a rhai ah lungnu lungrhang paluet thil uh lamtah aka tawt ham koi hlang khaw hlah uh.
And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
19 Tedae nangmih loh na thunkha hnuk na hloem uh te toeng uh mueh la amih te tloek uh. Amih te nangmih kut dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh han tloeng coeng dongah a khopuei la kun sak ham amih te hlah uh boeh,” a ti nah.
And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand.
20 Joshua neh Israel ca rhoek loh amih te bawt a tloek vaengah hmasoe len muep om tih dalh milh uh. Tedae amih khuiah aka coe tih rhaengnaeng rhoek tah khopuei hmuencak la pawk uh.
And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.
21 Te dongah pilnam pum loh Makkedah rhaehhmuen kah Joshua taengah sading la mael uh. A hmui a lai loh Israel ca rhoek hlang pakhat khaw hlavawt pawh.
And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
22 Te vaengah Joshua loh lungko kah a rhai te ong uh lamtah lungko khui lamkah manghai panga te kai taengla hang khuen uh,” a ti nah.
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
23 Te dongah lungko khui kah manghai panga la Jerusalem manghai, Hebron manghai, Jarmuth manghai, Lakhish manghai, Eglon manghai te a khuen pauh.
And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
24 Manghai rhoek te Joshua taengla a khuen uh vaengah Israel hlang boeih te Joshua loh a khue tih anih taengla aka pawk caemtloek hlang kah rhalboei rhoek taengah, “Halo uh manghai rhoek he a rhawn ah na kho tloeng thil uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah halo uh tih amih rhawn dongah a kho a tloeng uh.
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
25 Te phoeiah amih te Joshua loh, “Rhih boeh, rhihyawp boeh, thaahuel lamtah namning sak. Nangmih loh na vathoh thil na thunkha rhoek boeih te BOEIPA loh a saii bitni,” a ti nah.
And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
26 Amih te khaw Joshua loh a tloek tih a duek sak. Thing panga dongah a kuiok sak tih kholaeh due thing dongah dingkoei uh.
And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
27 Khotlak tue a lo vaengah Joshua loh a uen tih amih te thing dong lamloh a hlak uh. Amih te a thuh nah uh lungko khuiah pahoi a voeih uh tih lungko rhai kah lungnu a kuk uh te tihnin due hnorhuh la om pueng.
And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave’s mouth, which remain until this very day.
28 Tekah khohnin dongah Joshua loh Makkedah te a loh tih cunghang ha neh a ngawn. A manghai neh a khuikah hinglu boeih te khaw a thup pah tih rhaengnaeng khaw paih pawh. Jerikho manghai taengkah a saii bangla Makkedah manghai taengah khaw a saii.
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
29 Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum te Makkedah lamloh Libnah la kat uh tih Libnah te a vathoh thil uh.
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
30 Libnah te khaw BOEIPA loh Israel kut ah a paek. Te dongah a manghai te cunghang ha neh a ngawn tih a khuikah hinglu boeih te rhaengnaeng khaw hlun pawh. Te vaengah Jerikho manghai taengkah a saii bangla a manghai taengah khaw a saii.
And the Lord delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
31 Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum loh Libnah lamkah Lakhish la thoeih tih a vathoh thil, a rhaeh thil.
And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
32 Lakhish te khaw Israel kut dongah BOEIPA loh a paek. A hnin bae dongah te te a buem thai tih cunghang ha neh a tloek. A khuikah hinglu boeih te khaw Libnah bangla boeih a saii.
And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 Te vaengah Lakhish te bom ham Gezer manghai Horam te cet. Tedae anih khaw Joshua neh a pilnam loh rhaengnaeng a sueng pawt hil a tloek.
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34 Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum te Lakhish lamkah Eglon la thoeih uh tih vathoh thil hamla a rhaeh thil uh.
And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 Amah khohnin ah Eglon te a buem uh tih cunghang ha neh a ngawn uh. A khuikah hinglu boeih te khaw amah khohnin ah Lakhish a saii bangla boeih a thup.
And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum tah Eglon lamloh Hebron la cet tih a tloek uh.
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
37 Te te a buem uh vaengah a manghai neh a khopuei boeih, a khuikah hinglu boeih khaw, cunghang ha neh a ngawn uh. Eglon taengah boeih a saii bangla a khuikah hinglu te boeih a thup tih aka rhaengnaeng khaw hlun voel pawh.
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
38 Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum te Debir la bal tih a vathoh thil uh.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
39 Debir a buem vaengah khaw a manghai neh a khopuei boeih te cunghang ha neh a ngawn uh. Hebron a saii bangla Debir khaw a saii tih rhaengnaeng om mueh la a khuikah hinglu boeih te a thup uh. Libnah neh Libnah manghai taengkah a saii bangla Debir manghai taengah khaw a saii.
And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
40 Te dongah Israel Pathen BOEIPA kah a uen vanbangla Joshua loh tlang paengpang boeih neh Negev khaw, kolrhawk neh tuibah khaw a tloek. A manghai boeih te rhaengnaeng om mueh la hiil aka khueh boeih khaw a thup.
So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded.
41 Te phoeiah Joshua loh Kadeshbarnea lamloh Gaza due, Goshen khohmuen pum neh Gibeon duela a tloek.
And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
42 Tedae Israel ham te Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a vathoh pah dongah ni te rhoek kah manghai rhoek neh a khohmuen te Joshua loh voei khat la boeih a buem thai.
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 Te daengah Joshua neh Israel pum tah Gilgal kah rhaehhmuen la bal uh.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
