Joshua 10
1 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.
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.
2 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.
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.
3 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,
Te dongah Jerusalem manghai Adonizedek loh Hebron manghai Hoham, Jarmuth manghai Piram, Lakhish manghai Japhia neh Eglon manghai Debir te a tah.
4 “Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
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.
5 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.
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.
6 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.”
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.
7 So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
Te dongah Joshua amah neh amah taengkah caemtloek pilnam boeih, tatthai hlangrhalh boeih khaw Gilgal lamloh a khoong puei.
8 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.”
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.
9 After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
Gilgal lamkah khoyin khing a caeh puei vaengah Joshua loh amih taengla buengrhuet pawk.
10 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.
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.
11 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.
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.
12 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.”
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.
13 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.”
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?
14 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.
A mikhmuh ah tekah khohnin bang neh BOEIPA loh hlang ol a hnatun tih Israel ham aka vathoh BOEIPA he a om noek moenih.
15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum loh te Gilgal kah rhaehhmuen la bal uh.
16 Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
Te vaengah manghai panga te rhaelrham uh tih Makkedah kah lungko khuiah thuh uh.
17 And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
Tedae Joshua taengah a puen pa tih, “Makkedah kah lungko khuiah aka thuh manghai panga te a hmuh uh coeng,” a ti nah.
18 So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
Te dongah Joshua loh, “Lungko kah a rhai ah lungnu lungrhang paluet thil uh lamtah aka tawt ham koi hlang khaw hlah uh.
19 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.”
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.
20 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.
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.
21 The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
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.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
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.
23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Te dongah lungko khui kah manghai panga la Jerusalem manghai, Hebron manghai, Jarmuth manghai, Lakhish manghai, Eglon manghai te a khuen pa uh.
24 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.
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.
25 “Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”
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.
26 After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
Amih te khaw Joshua loh a tloek tih a duek sak. Thing panga dongah a kuiok sak tih kholaeh due thing dongah dingkoei uh.
27 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.
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.
28 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.
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.
29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum te Makkedah lamloh Libnah la kat uh tih Libnah te a vathoh thil uh.
30 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.
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.
31 And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum loh Libnah lamkah Lakhish la thoeih tih a vathoh thil, a rhaeh thil.
32 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.
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.
33 At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
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.
34 So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum te Lakhish lamkah Eglon la thoeih uh tih vathoh thil hamla a rhaeh thil uh.
35 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.
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.
36 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.
Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum tah Eglon lamloh Hebron la cet tih a tloek uh.
37 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.
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.
38 Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.
Te phoeiah Joshua neh Israel pum te Debir la bal tih a vathoh thil uh.
39 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.
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.
40 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.
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.
41 Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
Te phoeiah Joshua loh Kadeshbarnea lamloh Gaza due, Goshen khohmuen pum neh Gibeon duela a tloek.
42 And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
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.
43 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
Te daengah Joshua neh Israel pum tah Gilgal kah rhaehhmuen la bal uh.
