< Joshua 10 >

1 Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them;
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.
2 He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war.
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.
3 So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
Omiyo Adoni-Zedek ruodh Jerusalem nokwayo Hoham, ruodh Hebron, Piram ruodh Jarmuth, Jafia ruodh Lakish kod Debir ruodh Eglon niya,
4 Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.
“Biuru mondo ukonya monjo Gibeon nikech oseloso kwe kod Joshua gi jo-Israel.”
5 So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it.
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.
6 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.
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.”
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.
Omiyo Joshua kaachiel gi jolweny mage mathuondi nowuok Gilgal mapiyo nono mondo odhi oresgi.
8 And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before you.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Kik iluorgi; asechiwogi e lwetu. Onge kata ngʼata achiel kuomgi mabiro sirou.”
9 So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them.
Kane gisewuotho otieno duto ka gia Gilgal, Joshua nomonjogi apoya.
10 And the Lord made them full of fear before Israel, and they put great numbers of them to death at Gibeon, and went after them by the way going up to Beth-horon, driving them back to Azekah and Makkedah
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.
11 And in their flight before Israel, on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword.
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.
12 It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.
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.”
13 And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day.
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.
14 And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting for Israel.
Onge odiechiengʼ machal gi ma manosebetie ma Jehova Nyasaye nowinje kwayo mar dhano. Adier, adier Jehova Nyasaye ne kedo ni jo-Israel!
15 And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.
Bangʼe Joshua noduogo gi jo-Israel duto e kambi man Gilgal.
16 But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
Koro ruodhi abichgo noringo kendo gipondo e rogo mantiere Makeda.
17 And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
Kane owach ne Joshua ni ruodhi abichgo nopondo e rogo mar Makeda,
18 And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:
nowacho niya, “Dinuru dho rogono gi kidi maduongʼ kendo uket jomoko kanyo mondo orite.
19 But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.
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.”
20 Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,
Omiyo Joshua kod jo-Israel notiekogi chuth makmana joma tin ema nodongʼ e miechgi madongo mochiel kod ohinga.
21 All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.
Jolweny duto noduogo ir Joshua e kambi man Makeda maonge hinyruok moro, kendo onge ngʼama nowuoyo marach kuom jo-Israel.
22 Then Joshua said, Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock, and make those five kings come out to me.
Joshua nowacho niya, “Yawuru dho rogono kendo ugol ruodhi abichgo oko mi ukelgi ira.”
23 And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
Omiyo negigolo ruodhi abichgo oko mi gikelogi, ne gin ruodh Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lakish kod Eglon.
24 And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.
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.
25 And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war.
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.”
26 Then Joshua had them put to death, hanging them on five trees, where they were till evening.
Bangʼe Joshua nomonjogi mi onego ruodhigo kendo olierogi e yien abich. Nowegi ka giliero e yiendego nyaka odhiambo.
27 And when the sun went down, they were taken down from the trees, by Joshua's orders, and put into the hole where they had gone to be safe; and great stones were placed at the mouth of the hole, where they are to this day.
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.
28 That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
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.
29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;
Eka Joshua kod jo-Israel duto mane ni kode nodhi Libna koa Makeda mi omonje.
30 And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
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.
31 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on it,
Eka Joshua kod jo-Israel duto mane ni kode nodhi Lakish koa Libna; mi gimonje.
32 And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah.
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.
33 Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to the help of Lachish; and Joshua overcame him and his people, putting all of them to death.
Kuom mano, Horam ruodh Gezer nobiro mondo okony Lakish, to Joshua noloye kaachiel gi jolweny mage maonge ngʼama notony.
34 And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on it;
Eka Joshua gi jo-Israel mane ni kode nodhi Eglon koa Lakish mi gimonje.
35 And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, as he had done to Lachish.
Ne gikawe odiechiengʼ nogono mi ginego ji duto kendo giketho gimoro amora mangima manie iye, mana kaka negisetimone Lakish.
36 And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it;
Eka Joshua gi jo-Israel mane ni kode nodhi Hebron koa Eglon, mi gimonje.
37 And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it.
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.
38 And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir;
Eka Joshua gi jo-Israel mane ni kode noduogo mi omonjo Debir.
39 And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king.
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.
40 So Joshua overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.
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.
41 Joshua overcame them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
Joshua nokawogi koa Kadesh Barnea nyaka Gaza kendo koa e gwenge duto ma Goshen nyaka Gibeon.
42 And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.
Joshua nomako ruodhigo duto kaachiel gi pinjegi e lweny achielno nimar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nokedo ni joge.
43 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal.
Bangʼe Joshua noduogo gi jo-Israel duto e kambi man Gilgal.
