< Joshua 10 >

1 Eka Adoni-Zedek ruodh Jerusalem nowinjo ni Joshua osekawo Ai mi okethe chuth kendo onego ruodhe mana kaka nosetimone Jeriko kendo ni jo-Gibeon osetimo winjruok mar kwe gi jo-Israel mi gidak butgi.
Now it happened when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem 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 Joshua and with Israel, and were among them;
2 En gi joge ne gibuok ahinya kuom wachni nikech Gibeon ne en dala maduongʼ mongirore, mana kaka achiel kuom mier madongo maka ruoth. Ne oduongʼ moloyo Ai, kendo joge duto ne gin jokedo mabeyo.
that they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
3 Omiyo Adoni-Zedek ruodh Jerusalem nokwayo Hoham, ruodh Hebron, Piram ruodh Jarmuth, Jafia ruodh Lakish kod Debir ruodh Eglon niya,
Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
4 “Biuru mondo ukonya monjo Gibeon nikech oseloso kwe kod Joshua gi jo-Israel.”
"Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel."
5 Eka ruodhi abich mar jo-Amor; ruodhi ma Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lakish to gi Eglon noriwo jolwenjgi kaachiel. Negidhi kod jolweny mag-gi mi gimonjo Gibeon kendo gikedo kodgi.
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 armies, and camped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
6 Jo-Gibeon nooro wach ni Joshua e kambi man Gilgal niya, “Kik ijwangʼ jotichgi. Bi irwa piyo mondo ireswa! Konywa nikech ruodhi jo-Amor duto moa e piny manie wi got oseriwore mondo omonjwa.”
The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, "Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us."
7 Omiyo Joshua kaachiel gi jolweny mage mathuondi nowuok Gilgal mapiyo nono mondo odhi oresgi.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
8 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Kik iluorgi; asechiwogi e lwetu. Onge kata ngʼata achiel kuomgi mabiro sirou.”
Jehovah said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you."
9 Kane gisewuotho otieno duto ka gia Gilgal, Joshua nomonjogi apoya.
Joshua therefore came on them suddenly. He went up from Gilgal all night.
10 Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo gichalo joma orundore e nyim jo-Israel, mine giloyogi gi loch maduongʼ e Gibeon. Jo-Israel nolawogi ka giluwo yo madhi Beth Horon mi ginegogi ma gichopo kodgi nyaka Azeka kod Makeda.
Jehovah confused them before Israel, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
11 E kinde mane giringo e nyim jo-Israel e yo moa Beth Horon kadhi Azeka, Jehova Nyasaye nolwaro pe madongo kuomgi koa e polo kendo thothgi nomedo tho nikech peno nonego ji mangʼeny moloyo mago mane jo-Israel onego gi ligangla.
And it happened, as they fled from before the children of Israel while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, that Jehovah cast down stones from the sky on them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than who the children of Israel killed with the sword.
12 E odiechiengʼ mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiwo jo-Amor ni jo-Israel, Joshua nowachone Jehova Nyasaye e nyim jo-Israel niya, “Yaye wangʼ chiengʼ, chungʼ kar tiendi ewi Gibeon, to in dwe, chungʼ mana ewi holo mar Aijalon.”
Then Joshua spoke to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah delivered up the Amorites into the hand of Israel, when he struck them down at Gibeon, and they were struck down before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand still on Gibeon. You, moon, stop in the Valley of Aijalon."
13 Omiyo wangʼ chiengʼ nochungʼ kar tiende, to dwe bende ne ok osudo, nyaka oganda mar jo-Israel nochulo kuor kuom wasikgi, mana kaka nondike e Kitap Jashar. Wangʼ chiengʼ nosiko kochungʼ e polo kuom thuolo madirom odiechiengʼ achiel.
The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and did not hurry to go down about a whole day.
14 Onge odiechiengʼ machal gi ma manosebetie ma Jehova Nyasaye nowinje kwayo mar dhano. Adier, adier Jehova Nyasaye ne kedo ni jo-Israel!
There was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah listened to the voice of a man; for Jehovah fought for Israel.
15 Bangʼe Joshua noduogo gi jo-Israel duto e kambi man Gilgal.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
16 Koro ruodhi abichgo noringo kendo gipondo e rogo mantiere Makeda.
These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Kane owach ne Joshua ni ruodhi abichgo nopondo e rogo mar Makeda,
Joshua was told, saying, "The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah."
18 nowacho niya, “Dinuru dho rogono gi kidi maduongʼ kendo uket jomoko kanyo mondo orite.
Joshua said, "Roll large stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them;
19 Un to kik uchungʼ kanyo, lawuru wasiku, monjgiuru kua gichien kendo kik uwegi gichop e miechgi madongo, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osechiwogi e lwetu.”
but do not stay. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Do not allow them to enter into their cities; for Jehovah your God has delivered them into your hand."
20 Omiyo Joshua kod jo-Israel notiekogi chuth makmana joma tin ema nodongʼ e miechgi madongo mochiel kod ohinga.
It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
21 Jolweny duto noduogo ir Joshua e kambi man Makeda maonge hinyruok moro, kendo onge ngʼama nowuoyo marach kuom jo-Israel.
that 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 Joshua nowacho niya, “Yawuru dho rogono kendo ugol ruodhi abichgo oko mi ukelgi ira.”
Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me."
23 Omiyo negigolo ruodhi abichgo oko mi gikelogi, ne gin ruodh Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lakish kod Eglon.
They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
24 Kane gisekelo ruodhigi ne Joshua, noluongo jo-Israel duto kendo owachone jotend lweny mane obiro kode niya, “Biuru ka kendo unyon ngʼut ruodhigi.” Omiyo negibiro mi ginyono ngʼutgi piny.
It happened, when they brought those kings out to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." They came near, and put their feet on their necks.
25 Joshua nowachonegi niya, “Kik uluor, kendo kik chunyu nyosre. Beduru motegno kendo gi chir. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye biro timo ne wasigu duto ma ubiro kedogo.”
Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and of good courage, for Jehovah will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight."
26 Bangʼe Joshua nomonjogi mi onego ruodhigo kendo olierogi e yien abich. Nowegi ka giliero e yiendego nyaka odhiambo.
Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
27 Kane chiengʼ osepodho, Joshua nogolo chik mondo olor ringregi e yiende mane oliergie kendo odirgi e rogo kama negisepondoe. Negidino dho rogono gi kite madongo, ma pod ni kanyo nyaka chil kawuono.
It happened 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 in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.
28 E odiechiengno Joshua nokawo Makeda. Notieko dala maduongʼno kod ruodhe gi ligangla kendo otieko ngʼato angʼata mane ni e iye. Onge ngʼama notony kanyo. Notimone ruodh Makeda mana kaka notimone ruodh Jeriko.
Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed them and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Eka Joshua kod jo-Israel duto mane ni kode nodhi Libna koa Makeda mi omonje.
Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
30 Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo dala maduongʼni bende kod ruodhe e lwet jo-Israel. Dala maduongʼni to gi jogo duto modak e iye Joshua nonego gi ligangla. Onge ngʼama notony kanyo. Notimone ruodhgi mana kaka notimone ruodh Jeriko.
Jehovah delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Eka Joshua kod jo-Israel duto mane ni kode nodhi Lakish koa Libna; mi gimonje.
Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and camped against it, and fought against it.
32 Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo Lakish ne jo-Israel, to Joshua to ne okawe e odiechiengʼ mar ariyo. Dala maduongʼno kod ji duto modak kanyo nonego gi ligangla, mana kaka ne otimone Libna.
Jehovah delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 Kuom mano, Horam ruodh Gezer nobiro mondo okony Lakish, to Joshua noloye kaachiel gi jolweny mage maonge ngʼama notony.
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34 Eka Joshua gi jo-Israel mane ni kode nodhi Eglon koa Lakish mi gimonje.
Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they camped against it fought against it.
35 Ne gikawe odiechiengʼ nogono mi ginego ji duto kendo giketho gimoro amora mangima manie iye, mana kaka negisetimone Lakish.
They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 Eka Joshua gi jo-Israel mane ni kode nodhi Hebron koa Eglon, mi gimonje.
Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
37 Negikawo dala maduongʼno mi ginego ruodhe kod gimoro amora mangima mane ni kuno kaachiel gi mago mane nitie e mier matindo mokiewo kode. Onge ngʼama notony, mana kaka ne otimone Eglon.
They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.
38 Eka Joshua gi jo-Israel mane ni kode noduogo mi omonjo Debir.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.
39 Negikawo dala maduongʼno, ruodhe kod mier matindo mokiewo kode mi ginegogi. Ji duto mane odak kanyo negitieko chuth kendo onge joma notony. Negitimone Debir kod ruodhe mana kaka negitimone Libna gi ruodhe, to gi Hebron.
He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.
40 Omiyo Joshua nokawo gwengʼno duto kaachiel gi piny manie got ma en Negev, e tiend gode ma yo podho chiengʼ, to gi kuonde mag pewe kaachiel gi ruodhigi duto. Onge joma notony. Notieko jogo duto mangima, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nosechiko.
So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, and the Negev, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded.
41 Joshua nokawogi koa Kadesh Barnea nyaka Gaza kendo koa e gwenge duto ma Goshen nyaka Gibeon.
And Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza, and the entire region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
42 Joshua nomako ruodhigo duto kaachiel gi pinjegi e lweny achielno nimar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nokedo ni joge.
Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because Jehovah, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
43 Bangʼe Joshua noduogo gi jo-Israel duto e kambi man Gilgal.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
