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;
Mgbe Adoni-Zedek, eze Jerusalem nụrụ na Joshua emeriela Ai, laa ya nʼiyi, gbukwaa eze ya, dịka ọ lara Jeriko na eze ya nʼiyi, mgbe ọ hụkwara na ndị Gibiọn na ndị Izrel emeela udo, na ha bikwa nso ndị Izrel,
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.
ọ tụrụ egwu nke ukwuu, ya na ndị ya. Nʼihi na Gibiọn bụ obodo a ma ama, dịka otu nʼime obodo ndị eze, ndị ikom ya bụkwa ndị dị ike, nʼihi na ọ dịkwa ukwuu karịa Ai. Ndị ikom ya niile maara otu e si ebu agha.
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,
Ya mere, Adoni-Zedek, eze Jerusalem ziri ozi zigara eze ndị a: Homa, eze Hebrọn, Piram, eze Jamut, Jafia, eze Lakish, na Debịa, eze Eglọn, na-asị,
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.
“Bịanụ nyere m aka, ka anyị gaa tigbuo Gibiọn, nʼihi na ha na Joshua na ụmụ Izrel emeela udo.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, eze ise ndị Amọrait ndị a, eze Jerusalem, na eze Hebrọn, na eze Jamut, na eze Lakish na eze Eglọn chịkọtara ndị agha. Ha na ndị agha ha gara were ọnọdụ ha imegide Gibiọn, ha lụsokwara ha ọgụ.
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.
Ma ndị Gibiọn mere ngwangwa zigara Joshua ozi nʼụlọ ikwu dị na Gilgal sị ya, “Bịa nyere ndị ohu gị aka. Bịa ngwangwa zọpụta anyị, nʼihi na eze niile nke ndị Amọrait, ndị bi nʼugwu, abịala nʼebe a, ha na ndị agha ha ibuso anyị agha.”
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.
Joshua na ndị agha ya niile, tinyere ndị ahụ niile ibu agha were anya, hapụrụ Gilgal gawa ịzọpụta Gibiọn.
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.
Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Joshua okwu sị ya, “Atụla ha egwu! Nʼihi na ha bụ ndị e meriri emeri. Enyela m ha nʼaka unu ịla ha nʼiyi. Ọ dịkwaghị otu onye nʼetiti ha nwere ike iguzo nʼihu unu.”
9 So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them.
Joshua bịakwutere ha na mberede, nʼihi na ogologo abalị niile ka o si Gilgal gaa njem.
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
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị tinyere ha nʼọnọdụ ọgbaaghara mgbe ha zutere ndị Izrel. Nke a mere ka ndị agha Izrel lụgbuo ha na Gibiọn. Nʼezie, ọnụọgụgụ ndị ha tigburu na Gibiọn dị nnọọ ukwuu. Ma ha chụkwara ndị fọdụrụ ọsọ chụruo ha Bet-Horon, na Azeka, na Makeda, na-egbu ha nʼụzọ.
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.
Mgbe ha si nʼihu Izrel gbapụ ọsọ nʼụzọ nrịda Bet-Horon na-aga Azeka, Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼelu na-atụdakwasị ha ọtụtụ mkpụrụ mmiri. Ọnụọgụgụ ndị mkpụrụ mmiri ndị a dagburu dị ukwuu karịa ndị ụmụ Izrel ji mma agha ha gbuo.
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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ndị Izrel lụgbuo ndị Amọrait. Joshua gwara Onyenwe anyị okwu nʼihu ndị Izrel niile sị, “Gị, anyanwụ, guzo nʼotu ebe na mbara eluigwe Gibiọn. Gị, ọnwa, guzokwa nʼotu ebe na mbara eluigwe na Ndagwurugwu 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.
Anyanwụ guzoro, ọnwa guzokwa. Ha abụọ adaghị tutu ruo mgbe ndị agha mba ahụ gbuchasịrị ndị iro ha. Ihe banyere akụkọ agha a ka e dere nʼakwụkwọ Jasha. Ya mere, anyanwụ guzoro nʼotu ebe nʼetiti mbara eluigwe. Ọ nọkwa nʼotu ebe ihe dịka otu ụbọchị zuru ezu.
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.
O nweghị ụbọchị ọzọ dịka ụbọchị ahụ nʼoge niile gara aga. Ọ dịbekwaghị ụbọchị yiri ụbọchị ahụ ruo taa. Ọ bụ ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị mere ka anyanwụ na ọnwa kwụsị, nʼihi naanị ekpere otu nwoke. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-eburu Izrel agha.
15 And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.
Joshua na ndị Izrel niile laghachiri nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu dị na Gilgal.
16 But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
Ma nʼoge ahụ a na-alụ agha ahụ, ndị eze ise ahụ si nʼọgbọ agha gbapụ, zoo onwe ha nʼime ọgba nkume dị na Makeda.
17 And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
Mgbe ozi ruru Joshua ntị, na a chọtala eze ise ndị ahụ, ebe ha zoro onwe ha nʼime ọgba nkume dị na Makeda,
18 And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:
Joshua nyere iwu sị, “Werenụ nkume buru ibu mechie ọnụ ọgba nkume ahụ. Debekwanụ ndị nche nʼebe ahụ, ka ha chee ndị eze ahụ nche.
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.
Ma unu eguzola nʼebe ahụ nʼonwe unu, chụsonụ ndị iro unu, na-egbukwanụ ha site nʼazụ. Unu ekwela ka ha gbaba nʼobodo ha dị iche iche, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu enyefeela ha nʼaka unu.”
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,
Ya mere, Joshua na ndị Izrel tigbuchara ha kpamkpam nʼụzọ dị egwu, ọ bụ naanị mmadụ ole na ole nʼime ha nwere ike gbaba nʼime obodo ha e wusiri ike.
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.
Ndị agha niile laghachikwuru Joshua nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha dị na Makeda nʼudo. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla nwara anwa kwuo okwu megide ndị Izrel nʼala ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ Joshua sịrị, “Megheenụ ọnụ ọgba nkume ahụ, wepụtanụ ndị eze ise ahụ.”
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.
Ya mere, ha kpọpụtara ndị eze ise ahụ site nʼọgba nkume ahụ, ha bụ eze Jerusalem, na eze Hebrọn, na eze Jamut, na eze Lakish, na eze Eglọn.
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.
Mgbe a kpụtara ha nʼihu Joshua, ọ kpọrọ ndị ikom Izrel niile ka ha zụkọta, ọ gwara ndịisi agha bụ ndị so ya jee, “Bịanụ nso, zọkwasịnụ ụkwụ unu nʼolu eze ndị a.” Ya mere, ha bịara zọkwasị ụkwụ ha nʼolu ha.
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 sịrị ha, “Unu atụla egwu, maọbụ daa mba. Dịnụ ike, nweekwanụ ume, nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ndị iro unu niile bụ ndị na-ebuso unu agha.”
26 Then Joshua had them put to death, hanging them on five trees, where they were till evening.
Emesịa, Joshua ji mma agha ya gbuo eze ise ndị a. Ọ kwụbara ha nʼelu osisi ise, ebe ha nọ ruo nʼoge anyasị.
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.
Ma mgbe anwụ bidoro ịda, Joshua nyere iwu ka e site nʼosisi wedata ozu ndị eze ise ahụ, tụba ha nʼime ọgba nkume ahụ, ebe ha zoro onwe ha. Ha ji nkume dị ukwuu mechie ọnụ ọgba nkume ahụ. Nkume ukwuu ahụ dịkwa nʼebe ahụ ruo taa.
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.
Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, Joshua lara obodo Makeda nʼiyi, jiri mma agha gbuo eze ya, na onye ọbụla bi nʼime ya. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla nọ nʼime obodo ahụ ọ hapụrụ ndụ. Otu ihe ahụ o mere eze Jeriko ka o mere eze Makeda.
29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;
Joshua na ndị Izrel niile so ya sitere na Makeda gaa na Libna lụso ya agha.
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.
Onyenwe anyị nyekwara obodo a na eze ya nʼaka Izrel. Joshua weere mma agha ya tigbuo mmadụ niile dị nʼime ya. O nweghị onye ọbụla nke ọ hapụrụ ndụ nʼebe ahụ. O mekwara eze obodo a ihe o mere eze 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,
Site na Libna, Joshua na ndị Izrel gara ruo Lakish, lụso ha agha.
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.
Ma Onyenwe anyị nyefere Lakish nʼaka ụmụ Izrel. Joshua lụgburu ya nʼụbọchị nke abụọ ya. Ha weere mma agha ha tigbuo mmadụ niile bi nʼime ya, dịka ha mere 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.
Ma mgbe a na-alụ agha na Lakish, Horam eze Gaza, duuru ndị agha ya bịa inyere ndị obodo Lakish aka, ka ha si otu a gbochie ndị agha Izrel ịbata nʼime ya. Ma ndị agha Joshua gburu ya, laa ndị agha ya niile nʼiyi, ruo na ọ fọdụghị otu onye.
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;
Emesịa, nʼụbọchị ahụ kwa, Joshua na ndị Izrel hapụrụ Lakish gaa Eglọn lụgbuo ya.
35 And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, as he had done to Lachish.
Ha were obodo ahụ nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, jiri mma agha ha tigbuo mmadụ niile dị nʼime obodo ahụ, dịka ha mere na Lakish.
36 And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it;
Mgbe Joshua na ndị Izrel sitere nʼEglọn pụọ, ha gara Hebrọn buso ya agha.
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.
Ha weere obodo ahụ, jiri mma agha gbuo eze ha, na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu. Ha gburu ndị mmadụ niile bi nʼime ya dịka ha mere nʼEglọn. Ọ dịkwaghị otu onye a hapụrụ ndụ.
38 And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir;
Joshua na ndị Izrel niile ya na ha so laghachiri azụ gaa busoo Debịa agha.
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.
Ha meriri obodo a, na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu, na eze ya, jiri mma agha gbuchapụ ha niile, mmadụ niile nọ nʼime ya ka ha gburu kpamkpam. Ha ahapụghị onye ọbụla ndụ, ha mere Debịa na eze ya dịka ha mere Libna na eze ya, na Hebrọn kwa.
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.
Ya mere, Joshua na ndị agha ya meriri obodo ahụ niile, na ala ahụ niile. O meriri eze niile nke obodo ugwu ahụ, na ndị bi na Negeb, na mgbada ala ugwu dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ, na mgbada ala ugwu ugwu ahụ. O gbuchara mmadụ niile bi nʼala ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel si nye ya iwu.
41 Joshua overcame them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
Joshua tigburu ha niile site na Kadesh Banea ruo Gaza, sitekwa na Goshen ruo Gibiọn.
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.
Eze ndị a niile, na ala ha niile, ka Joshua meriri nʼotu oge ibu agha, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel na-alụrụ Izrel agha.
43 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal.
Emesịa, Joshua na ndị Izrel niile laghachiri nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha dị na Gilgal.
