< Joshua 10 >
1 And when Adoni-bezec king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Gai, and had destroyed it, as he did to Jericho and its king, even so they did to Gai and its king, and that the inhabitants of Gabaon had gone over to Joshua and Israel;
Adonizedeki kabaka wa Yerusaalemi bwe yawulira nga Yoswa awambye Ayi era ng’akizikiririzza ddala nga bwe yakola Yeriko ne kabaka waayo, era bwe yawulira nti abantu b’omu Gibyoni bakoze endagaano y’emirembe n’Abayisirayiri era nga kaakano babeera nabo,
2 then they were greatly terrified by them, for [the king] knew that Gabaon [was] a great city, as one of the chief cities, and all its men [were] mighty.
Adonizedeki n’atya nnyo kubanga Gibyoni kyali kibuga gagadde ng’ebibuga bya bakabaka bwe byali, nga kisingira ddala Ayi ate nga n’abasajja baamu bakirimaanyi.
3 So Adoni-bezec king of Jerusalem sent to Elam king of Hebron, and to Phidon king of Jerimuth, and to Jephtha king of Lachis, and to Dabin king of Odollam, saying,
Bw’atyo Adonizedeki kabaka wa Yerusaalemi n’atumira bakabaka bano: Kokamu ow’e Kebbulooni, ne Piramu ow’e Yalamusi, ne Yafiya ow’e Lakisi ne Debiri ow’e Eguloni n’abagamba nti,
4 Come up hither to me, and help me, and let us take Gabaon; for the Gabaonites have gone over to Joshua and to the children of Israel.
“Mujje munziruukirire tuzikirize ekibuga Gibyoni kubanga abantu baamu bakoze endagaano y’emirembe ne Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri.”
5 And the five kings of the Jebusites went up, the king of Jerusalem, and the king of Chebron, and the king of Jerimuth, and the king of Lachis, and the king of Odollam, they and all their people; and encamped around Gabaon, and besieged it.
Bwe batyo bakabaka abataano Abamoli, n’ow’e Yerusaalemi, n’ow’e Kebbulooni, n’ow’e Yalamusi, n’ow’e Lakisi n’owe Eguloni ne beekobaana ne bayungula amaggye gaabwe ne bagakuluumulula ne balumba Gibyoni.
6 And the inhabitants of Gabaon sent to Joshua into the camp to Galgala, saying, Slack not your hands from your servants: come up quickly to us, and help us, and rescue us; for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the hill country are gathered together against us.
Abasajja b’omu Gibyoni ne batumira Yoswa mu lusiisira e Girugaali ne bamugamba nti, “Totulekulira basajja bo, yanguwako otudduukirire kubanga bakabaka bonna Abamoli ababeera eyo mu gasozi beekobaanye okututabaala.”
7 And Joshua went up from Galgala, he and all the people of war with him, every one mighty in strength.
Bw’atyo Yoswa n’ava e Girugaali n’abasajja be abalwanyi ba nnamige.
8 And the Lord said to Joshua, Fear them not, for I have delivered them into your hands; there shall not one of them be left before you.
Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Tobatya kubanga bonna mbagabudde mu mukono gwo, teri n’omu ku bo anaalama.”
9 And when Joshua came suddenly upon them, he [had] advanced all the night out of Galgala.
Yoswa n’abasajja be ne bakeesa obudde nga batambula okuva e Girugaali ne balyoka bagwa ku b’Amoli ekiyiifuyiifu.
10 And the Lord struck them with terror before the children of Israel; and the Lord destroyed them with a great slaughter at Gabaon; and they pursued them by the way of the going up of Oronin, and they struck them to Azeca and to Makeda.
Mukama n’abaleetera okutya mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri ne babatta olutta lunene nnyo e Gibyoni ne babafubutula okubambusa e Besukolooni, ne bagenda nga babatta okuyitira ddala e Azeka okutuuka e Makkeda.
11 And when they fled from the face of the children of Israel at the descent of Oronin, then the Lord cast upon them hailstones from heaven to Azeca; and they were more that died by the hailstones, than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword in the battle.
Bwe baali badduka Abayisirayiri nga bavuunuka Besukolooni, Mukama n’abasuulako amayinja amanene ag’omuzira okutuukira ddala mu Azeka; abaafa omuzira ne baba bangi okusinga n’abattibwa Abayisirayiri.
12 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, in the day in which the Lord delivered the Amorite into the power of Israel, when he destroyed them in Gabaon, and they were destroyed from before the children of Israel: and Joshua said, Let the sun stand over against Gabaon, and the moon over against the valley of Aelon.
Yoswa n’agamba Mukama ku lunaku olwo Abayisirayiri lwe battirako Abamoli, nga n’Abayisirayiri bonna bawulira nti, “Ggwe enjuba, yimirira butengerera waggulu wa Gibyoni, naawe omwezi kola bw’otyo waggulu w’ekiwonvu Ayalooni.”
13 And the sun and the moon stood still, until God executed vengeance on their enemies; and the sun stood still in the midst of heaven; it did not proceed to set till the end of one day.
Enjuba n’omwezi ne bikola nga bwe babiragidde okutuusa Abayisirayiri lwe baamala okuseseggula abalabe baabwe. Bino byonna byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya Yasali. Enjuba n’eyimirira butengerera ku ggulu n’eteva mu kifo okumala olunaku lulamba.
14 And there was not such a day either before or after, so that God should listen to a man, because the Lord fought on the side of Israel.
Tewali lunaku lwali lubadde nga luno, Mukama okuwulira omuntu obwenkaniddaawo; Mukama yalwanirira nnyo Isirayiri.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri ne bakomawo ne basiisira e Girugaali.
16 And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave that is in Makeda.
Bakabaka bali abataano ne badduka ne beekukuma mu mpuku e Makkeda.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found hid in the cave that is in Makeda.
Ne bagamba Yoswa nti, “Bakabaka abataano bazuuliddwa, beekwese mu mpuku.”
18 And Joshua said, Roll stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men to watch over them.
Yoswa n’alagira nti, “Muyiringise agayinja aganene mugateeke ku mumwa gw’empuku era mufuneeyo n’abasajja bagikuume;
19 But do not you stand, but pursue after your enemies, and attack the rear of them, and do not suffer them to enter into their cities; for the Lord our God has delivered them into our hands.
naye mmwe abalwanyi temubeerawo wabula mugobe abalabe bammwe, temubaganya kuyingira mu bibuga byabwe, kubanga ebyo Mukama Katonda wammwe abibawadde.”
20 And it came to pass when Joshua and all Israel ceased destroying them utterly with a very great slaughter, that they that escaped took refuge in the strong cities.
Awo Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bwe baamala okutta abalabe baabwe olutta ssinziggu olubamalirawo ddala, abo abaali basigaddewo baddukira mu bibuga ebiriko ebigo,
21 And all the people returned safe to Joshua to Makeda; and no one of the children of Israel murmured with his tongue.
olwo abantu bonna ne bakomawo mirembe eri Yoswa mu lusiisira e Girugaali. Teri muntu yaddayo kwogerera Bayisirayiri mafuukuule.
22 And Joshua said, Open the cave, and bring out these five kings out of the cave.
Oluvannyuma Yoswa n’abagamba nti, “Mugguleewo omumwa gw’empuku mundeetere bakabaka abo abataano.”
23 And they brought out the five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, and the king of Chebron, and the king of Jerimuth, and the king of Lachis, and the king of Odollam.
Ne bakola nga bwalagidde ne bamuleetera kabaka w’e Yerusaalemi, n’ow’e Kebbulooni, n’ow’e Yalamusi, n’ow’e Lakisi n’ow’e Eguloni.
24 And when they brought them out to Joshua, then Joshua called together all Israel, and the chiefs of the army that went with him, saying to them, Come forward and set your feet on their necks; and they came and set their feet on their necks.
Bwe baabamuleetera, Yoswa n’akoowoola Abayisirayiri bonna, n’alagira abaduumizi b’eggye abaali naye nti, “Musembere wano kumpi, mulinnye ku nsingo za bakabaka bano.” Nabo ne basembera kumpi ne bakola nga bw’abalagidde.
25 And Joshua said to them, Do not fear them, neither be cowardly; be courageous and strong, for thus the Lord will do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.
Yoswa n’abagamba nti, “Temutya wadde okuterebuka, mube n’amaanyi era n’obuvumu kubanga eno y’engeri Mukama gy’anaakola abalabe bammwe be mulwana nabo.”
26 And Joshua killed them, and hanged them on five trees; and they hung upon the trees until the evening.
Yoswa bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’addira bakabaka bali n’abatta, emirambo gyabwe n’agiwanika buli gumu ku muti okutuusiza ddala akawungeezi.
27 And it came to pass towards the setting of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave into which they [had] fled for refuge, and rolled stones to the cave, [which remain] till this day.
Enjuba bwe yamala okugwa Yoswa n’alagira emirambo ne giwanulwa ku miti ne gisuulibwa mu mpuku bakabaka bano mwe basooka okwekukuma, ne bayiringisa agayinja aganene ne bagasaanikira ku mumwa gw’empuku n’okutuusa kaakano amayinja ago gakyaliko.
28 And they took Makeda on that day, and killed the inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and they utterly destroyed every living thing that was in it; and there was none left in it that was preserved and had escaped; and they did to the king of Makeda, as they did to the king of Jericho.
Ku lunaku olwo Yoswa n’alumba Makkeda n’akizikiriza ne kabaka waayo n’amuttisa obwogi bw’ekitala, abaayo bonna n’abazikiriza, kye yakola kabaka w’e Yeriko era kye yakola n’ow’e Makkeda.
29 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed out of Makeda to Lebna, and besieged Lebna.
Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bava e Makkeda, ne bagenda e Libuna ne bakizinda,
30 And the Lord delivered it into the hands of Israel: and they took it, and its king, and killed the inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and every thing breathing in it; and there was not left in it any that survived and escaped; and they did to its king, as they did to the king of Jericho.
era nakyo Mukama n’akibawanguza, n’atta abaakirimu bonna n’obwogi bw’ekitala, tewali n’omu gwe yalekawo. Kye yakola kabaka we Yeriko era kye yakola n’ow’e Libuna.
31 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed from Lebna to Lachis, and he encamped about it, and besieged it.
Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri ne bava e Libuna ne bazinda Lakisi, ne bakyetooloola ne bakikuba.
32 And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel; and they took it on the second day, and they put the inhabitants to death with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed it, as they had done to Lebna.
Ku lunaku olwokubiri Mukama n’akibawanguza, ne bazikiriza n’ekitala buli muntu yenna eyakirimu era nga bwe baakola e Libuna.
33 Then Elam the king of Gazer went up to help Lachis; and Joshua struck him and his people with the edge of the sword, until there was not left to him one that was preserved and escaped.
Kolamu kabaka w’e Gezeri n’agezaako okudduukirira Lakisi oyo naye Yoswa n’amutta era n’atalekaawo yadde n’omu ku bantu be.
34 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed from Lachis to Odollam, and he besieged it and took it.
Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna bwe baava e Lakisi ne bagenda e Eguloni, ne bakyetooloola kyonna ne bakikuba.
35 And the Lord delivered it into the hand of Israel; and he took it on that day, and killed the inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and killed every thing breathing in it, as they did to Lachis.
Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini ne bazikiriza n’obwogi bw’ekitala buli eyakirimu nga bwe baakola Lakisi.
36 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed to Chebron, and encamped about it.
Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bava mu Eguloni ne bazinda Kebbulooni,
37 And he struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the living creatures that were in it; there was no one preserved: they destroyed it and all things in it, as they did to Odollam.
ne bakikuba; ne bazikiriza n’ekitala abantu baayo bonna era ne kabaka waabwe n’obubuga bwamu bwonna nga bwe baakola mu Eguloni.
38 And Joshua and all Israel returned to Dabir; and they encamped about it;
Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ate ne bawetamu ne baddayo e Debiri ne bakikuba.
39 and they took it, and its king, and its villages: and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and they destroyed it, and every thing breathing in it; and they did not leave in it any one that was preserved: as they did to Chebron and her king, so they did to Dabir and her king.
Ne bakiwamba ne bazikiriza n’ekitala kabaka waakyo n’abantu baakyo bonna n’obubuga bwakyo bwonna, era nga bwe baakola e Kebbulooni ne Libuna bwe baakola ne Debiri.
40 And Joshua struck all the land of the hill country, and Nageb and the plain country, and Asedoth, and her kings, they did not leave of them one that was saved: and they utterly destroyed every thing that had the breath of life, as the Lord God of Israel commanded,
Bw’atyo Yoswa n’awangula ensi eyo yonna ey’agasozi, n’ebiwonvu, n’ensenyi ne bakabaka baayo bonna, tewali kiramu na kimu kye yaleka nga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri bwe yamulagira.
41 from Cades Barne to Gaza, all Gosom, as far as Gabaon.
Yoswa n’awangulira ddala okuva e Kadesubanea okutuuka e Gaaza mu nsi yonna ey’e Goseni okutuukira ddala e Gibyoni.
42 And Joshua struck, once for all, all their kings, and their land, because the Lord God of Israel fought on the side of Israel.
N’awamba bakabaka bano bonna n’ensi zaabwe mu lulumba lumu lwokka kubanga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri yalwanirira Isirayiri.
Awo Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bakomawo mu lusiisira e Girugaali.
