Joshua 10
1 Joshua ni Jeriko kho hoi siangpahrang koe a sak e patetlah Ai kho Siangpahrang a tuk teh a raphoe e, Gibeon taminaw hoi Isarel miphunnaw kâhuikonae a sak awh teh, cungtalah rei ao awh e Jerusalem Siangpahrang Adonizedek ni a thai torei teh,
Now Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction —doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king—and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.
2 Gibeon kho teh kalenpounge khopui, Ai kho hlak a len teh, kho thung tongpanaw pueng a thakaawmpounge lah ao dawkvah a takipoung awh.
So Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly alarmed, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
3 Hatdawkvah Jerusalem Siangpahrang Adonizedek ni Hebron Siangpahrang Hoham, Jarmuth siangpahrang Piram, Lakhish siangpahrang Japhia hoi Eglon Siangpahrang Debir tinaw koe a patoun teh,
Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
4 Gibeon kho teh Joshua koehoi Isarel miphunnaw hoi kâhuikonae a sak dawkvah, hote kho hah tuk hanelah, kai koe a tho awh teh, kai hoi rei kâkabawm sei ati awh e patetlah,
“Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
5 Jerusalem Siangpahrang, Hebron siangpahrang Amor Siangpahrang, Lakhish siangpahrang Eglon siangpahrang tie siangpahrang panga touh a kamkhueng awh teh, amamae ransanaw puenghoi a kamthaw awh teh, Gibeon kho hah a tuk awh.
So the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
6 Gibeonnaw teh, Joshua aonae koe Gilgal kho lah a patoun awh teh, nange na sannaw hah banglahai ngai hoeh e lah awm hanh. Karang lah na rungngang haw, mon dawk kaawm e Amor siangpahrangnaw abuemlah, kaimouh tuk hanelah a kamkhueng awh toe ati awh.
Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
7 Joshua ni Tarantuk kathoumnaw a thakasainaw, tarankahawinaw, abuemlah Gilgal hoi a cei sin awh.
So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
8 BAWIPA Cathut ni ahnimanaw hah taket awh hanh. Nangmae kut dawk kai ni na poe toe. Nangmae hmalah tami buet touh hai kangdout thai mahoeh telah Joshua koe atipouh.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not one of them shall stand against you.”
9 Joshua ni Gilgal hoi karum khodai a cei awh teh, tarannaw kâpanuek sak laipalah a tuk awh.
After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
10 BAWIPA Cathut ni ahnimanaw teh, Isarelnaw e hmalah a sung sak teh, Gibeon kho teng hoi a thei awh teh, Bethhoron kho ceinae lam koe lah a pâlei awh teh, Azekah, hoi Makkedah totouh a thei awh.
And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
11 Ahnimanaw teh, Isarelnaw e hmalah a yawng awh teh, Bethhoron kho lah a cathuk navah, BAWIPA ni kalvan lahoi kalenpounge talungnaw hah Azekah totouh ahnimouh koe a bo sak. Ahnimanaw teh, Isarelnaw e tahloi dawk hoi a due awh e hlak roun dawk hoi kapap lah a due awh.
As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
12 Hottelah Amornaw teh, Isarelnaw e kut dawk a poe hnin hoi Joshua ni Cathut koe a ratoum teh, kanî nang teh, Gibeon kho dawkvah, oe thapa nang teh, Aijalon tanghling dawkvah kâhat haw telah, Isarelnaw e hmalah atipouh e patetlah,
On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
13 Isarelnaw teh a tarannaw hah a tâ awh hoehroukrak kanî hai a kâhat teh, thapa hai a kangdue. Jashar e ca dawk kaawm e teh kalvan lungui tueng vah kanî teh a kangdue, khum laipalah hnin touh thung ao.
So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
14 BAWIPA ni tami e lawk hai a ngâi pouh teh, hot patet e hnin, hnin touh hai awm boihoeh. Atuhoi hai bout awm mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut ni Isarelnaw koelah a kampangkhai teh, taran a tuk.
There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Hahoi Joshua teh, Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Gilgal rim koe lah a ban awh.
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Siangpahrang panga touh teh a yawng awh teh, Makkedah lungngoum thung a kâhro awh.
Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Makkedah lungngoum thung kâhrawk e siangpahrang panga touh teh, ka hmu awh toe telah Joshua koe a thai sak awh.
And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
18 Joshua ni lungngoum kâko koe talung kalenpounge naw racawt awh nateh, ka ring e taminaw hai tat awh.
So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
19 Nangmanaw teh, tarannaw hah pâlei awh nateh, na pha awh e tami pueng hah, thet awh. Kho thung kâen sak hanh awh. Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni ahnimouh teh, nangmae kut dawk na poe toe atipouh.
But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
20 Joshua hoi Isarelnaw ni a tarannaw koung a thei awh teh, kaawm rae taminaw teh kacakpounge khopui thung a kâen awh teh, ao awh.
So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
21 taminaw abuemlah ni Joshua a onae Makkedah rim koe duem a ban awh. Isarelnaw buet touh boehai apinihai yon pen awh hoeh.
The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
22 Joshua ni lungngoum a paawng teh, hote siangpahrang panga touh hah lungngoum thung hoi tâcawt sak awh nateh, kai koe thokhai awh atipouh e patetlah,
Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
23 Ahnimouh ni a sak awh teh, Jerusalem siangpahrang, Hebron siangpahrang, Jarmuth siangpahrang, Lakhish siangpahrang, hoi Eglon siangpahrang, panga touh hah lungngoum thung hoi a hrawi awh.
So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24 Joshua koe a thokhai hnukkhu Joshua ni ama hoi cungtalah taran ka tuk e, ransabawinaw hoi Isarelnaw abuemlah a kaw teh, tho awh, hete siangpahrangnaw e lahuen dawk khok toung awh hottelah ransabawinaw koe a dei e patetlah, ahnimouh ni a tho awh teh, siangpahrangnaw e a lahuen dawk a coungroe pouh awh.
When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
25 Joshua ni nangmouh ni na tuk awh e na tarannaw abuemlah, BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a sak han dawkvah taket awh hanh. Lungpout sak hanh, tha kâlat awh nateh, taranhawinae tawn awh atipouh teh,
“Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”
26 Hote siangpahrangnaw hah tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, thingkung panga touh dawk a bang awh. Tangmin lah totouh thingkung dawk a kâbang.
After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
27 Kanî a khup torei teh, Joshua ni dei e patetlah thingkung dawk e a la awh teh amamanaw a kâhronae lungngoum koe a tâkhawng awh teh lungngoum kâkhu koe talung kalen poung naw a racawt sin awh. Hote talung a racawt awh e teh, sahnin totouh ao.
At sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
28 Hot hnin nah Joshua ni Makkedah kho a tuk teh, kho hoi siangpahrangnaw tahloi hoi a thei hnukkhu siangpahrang hoi kho thung e abuemlah buet touh hai pahlout laipalah be a raphoe. Jeriko siangpahrang koe a sak e patetlah Makkedah siangpahrang koehai a sak awh.
On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Hathnukkhu Joshua ni Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Makkedah kho hoi Libnah kho a tuk awh.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
30 BAWIPA ni kho hoi siangpahrang teh Isarelnaw e kut dawk a poe. Kho hoi kho thung e taminaw abuemlah buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah, tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, Jeriko siangpahrang koe a sak e patetlah hote siangpahrang koehai a sak awh.
And the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Joshua ni Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Libnah kho hoi Lakhish kho lah a cei awh teh a tuk awh.
And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
32 BAWIPA Cathut ni hote kho teh Isarelnaw e kut dawk a poe teh hnin pahni hnin a la pouh awh. Libnah kho a sak e patetlah kho hoi khocanaw abuemlah tahloi hoi a thei awh.
And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
33 Hahoi Gezer siangpahrang Horam ni Lakhish kho kabawp hanelah a tho dawkvah Joshua ni hote siangpahrang hoi taminaw abuemlah buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah koung a thei awh.
At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
34 Hahoi Joshua ni Isarelnaw abuemlah hoiyah Lakhish kho hoi Eglon kho lah a cei awh teh a tuk awh.
So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
35 Hot hnin vah a la awh teh Lakhish kho dawk a sak awh e patetlah kho hoi khocanaw abuemlah tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, hnin touh hoi koung a raphoe awh.
That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.
36 Hahoi Joshua ni Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Eglon kho hoi Hebron kho lah a cei awh teh a tuk awh.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.
37 A la awh torei teh Eglon kho dawk a sak e patetlah kho hoi siangpahrang naw, hote kho hoi kâkuen e pueng, kho kaawm e pueng, kho thung e taminaw pueng, buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, kho hoi taminaw abuemlah koung a raphoe awh.
They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.
38 Hahoi Joshua ni Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Debir kho lah a ban awh teh a tuk awh.
Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.
39 Kho hoi siangpahrang naw, kho dawk kaawm e abuemlah a la awh teh, tahloi hoi a thei teh, kho thung taminaw abuemlah buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah, koung a raphoe awh. Hebron kho, Libnah kho e siangpahrangnaw koe a sak awh e patetlah Debir kho hoi siangpahrangnaw koehai a sak awh.
And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and as he had done to Libnah and its king.
40 Hottelah Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut ni kâ a poe awh e patetlah Joshua ni Mon dawk e, akalah tanghling dawk e, palang dawk kaawm e pueng hah, siangpahrangnaw abuemlah a thei teh, kahring e buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah koung a raphoe.
So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
41 Kadeshbarnea kho koehoi kamtawng teh, Gaza kho totouh, Goshen ram abuemlah hoi, Gibeon kho totouh, a thei awh.
Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
42 Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut ni Isarelnaw koe lahoi taran a tuk dawkvah, hote ramnaw hoi siangpahrangnaw abuemlah vaitalahoi a tâ awh.
And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
43 Hathnukkhu Joshua teh Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Gilgal rim koe lah a ban awh.
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
