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;
Yerusalemhene Adoni-Sedek tee sɛ Yosua afa Ai na wasɛe no pasaa, akum ɛhɔ ɔhene, sɛdeɛ wasɛe Yeriko kuropɔn akum ɛhɔ ɔhene no. Ɔtee nso sɛ Gibeonfoɔ ne Israelfoɔ ayɛ asomdwoeɛ apam, na wɔayɛ baako.
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.
Ɛno enti, ɔne ne nkurɔfoɔ bo tuu yie, ɛfiri sɛ, Gibeon yɛ kuropɔn kɛseɛ te sɛ ahemman no nkuropɔn no bi a ɛso sene Ai. Na Gibeon mmarima no nyinaa nso yɛ akofoɔ a wɔyɛ dene.
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,
Enti, Yerusalemhene Adoni-Sedek soma ma wɔkɔɔ ahemfo afoforɔ bebree nkyɛn: Hebronhene Hoham ne Yarmuthene Piram ne Lakishene Yafia ne Eglonhene Debir kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
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.
“Mommra mmɛboa me na yɛnsɛe Gibeon, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔne Yosua ne Israelfoɔ ayɛ asomdwoeɛ apam.”
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.
Enti, Amorifoɔ ahemfo baanum no de wɔn akodɔm bɔɔ mu maa ɔko. Wɔde wɔn akodɔm no gyinagyinaeɛ, na afei wɔto hyɛɛ Gibeon so.
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.
Na Gibeonfoɔ no soma kɔɔ Yosua nkyɛn wɔ Gilgal. Wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nnyaa wʼasomfoɔ. Bra yɛn nkyɛn ntɛm bɛgye yɛn nkwa! Bɛboa yɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, Amorifoɔ ahemfo a wɔte mmepɔ so de wɔn akodɔm rebɛko atia yɛn.”
7 And Joshua went up from Galgala, he and all the people of war with him, every one mighty in strength.
Enti, Yosua ne Israel akodɔm nyinaa firii Gilgal sɛ wɔrekoboa Gibeonfoɔ.
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.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Nnsuro wɔn; mɛma woadi wɔn so nkonim. Wɔn mu biara rentumi ne wo nnyina.”
9 And when Joshua came suddenly upon them, he [had] advanced all the night out of Galgala.
Yosua nantee anadwo mu no nyinaa firii Gilgal kɔfuu Amorifoɔ akodɔm no mu.
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.
Awurade ma wɔbɔɔ hu wɔ Israelfoɔ no anim, na wɔkunkumm wɔn mu bebree wɔ Gibeon. Israelfoɔ no taa atamfoɔ no faa ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Bet-Horon no, na wɔto hyɛɛ wɔn so kunkumm wɔn wɔ Aseka ne Makeda.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Amorifoɔ redwane wɔ ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Bet-Horon so no, Awurade himm aboɔ akɛseɛ guu wɔn so kɔsii sɛ wɔduruu Aseka. Aboɔ no kunkumm wɔn mu bebree sene dodoɔ a Israelfoɔ de akofena kunkumm wɔn no.
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.
Ɛda a Awurade de Amorifoɔ no hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ no nsa no, Yosua bɔɔ Awurade mpaeɛ wɔ Israelfoɔ no anim sɛ, “Ma owia nnyina dinn wɔ Gibeon so na ɔsrane nso ntae wɔ Ayalon bɔnhwa mu.”
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.
Na owia ne ɔsrane gyinaa dinn, kɔsii sɛ Israelfoɔ dii atamfoɔ no so. Wɔntwerɛɛ saa nsɛm yi wɔ Teefoɔ Nwoma no mu anaa? Owia gyinaeɛ wɔ ewiem mfimfini na ankɔtɔ sɛdeɛ ɛyɛ daa no.
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.
Awurade ko maa Israel ɛda no. Ebi nsii saa da na ebi rensi da sɛ saa da no a Awurade tiee abisadeɛ sei firii onipa nkyɛn.
Na Yosua ne Israel akodɔm no sane kɔɔ Gilgal atenaeɛ hɔ.
16 And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave that is in Makeda.
Ɔko no mu, ahemfo baanum no dwane kɔhyɛɛ Makeda ɔbodan mu.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found hid in the cave that is in Makeda.
Yosua tee sɛ wɔahunu wɔn no,
18 And Joshua said, Roll stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men to watch over them.
ɔhyɛɛ sɛ, “Momfa abotan akɛseɛ nsi ɔbodan no ano kwan, na momma awɛmfoɔ no nnwɛn ano na ahemfo no nhyɛ mu.
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.
Mo a moaka no nso, montaa atamfoɔ no na monkunkum wɔn mfiri akyire. Mommma wɔnnkɔ wɔn nkuro so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn bɛma mo adi wɔn so nkonim.”
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.
Enti, Yosua ne Israel akodɔm toaa so kunkumm wɔn, tɔree akodɔm enum no ase ma ɛkaa ɛdɔm no kakra bi a wɔtumi dwane kɔɔ wɔn nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu.
21 And all the people returned safe to Joshua to Makeda; and no one of the children of Israel murmured with his tongue.
Afei, Israelfoɔ no sane baa Yosua nkyɛn asomdwoeɛ mu wɔ Makeda. Ɛno akyi, obiara suroo sɛ ɔbɛkasa atia Israel.
22 And Joshua said, Open the cave, and bring out these five kings out of the cave.
Afei, Yosua kaa sɛ, “Monyiyi abotan a ɛkata ɔbodan no ano no na momfa ahemfo baanum no mmrɛ me.”
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.
Enti, wɔkɔyii ahemfo baanum no firi ɔbodan no mu baeɛ: Yerusalemhene, Hebronhene, Yarmuthene, Lakishene ne Eglonhene.
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.
Yosua ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodɔm asahene no sɛ, “Mommra mmɛtiatia ahemfo no kɔn so.” Na wɔyɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔkyerɛɛ wɔn no.
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.
Yosua ka kyerɛɛ nʼasraafoɔ no sɛ, “Monnsuro na mommma mo abamu mmu da. Monyɛ den na mo bo nyɛ duru, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade rebɛyɛ yei atia mo atamfoɔ nyinaa.”
26 And Joshua killed them, and hanged them on five trees; and they hung upon the trees until the evening.
Yosua kunkumm ahemfo baanum no mmaako mmaako de wɔn sensɛn nnua enum so kɔsii anwummerɛ.
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.
Owia rekɔtɔ no, Yosua hyɛɛ sɛ wɔnyiyi ahemfo no amu no mfiri nnua no so na wɔnkɔto wɔn ngu ɔbodan a wɔkɔtetɛɛ mu no mu. Afei, wɔde abotan akɛseɛ mmoano sii ɔbodan no ano a ɛda so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
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.
Ɛda no ara, Yosua sɛee Makeda kuropɔn no pasaa, kumm obiara a ɔwɔ mu ne ɛhɔ ɔhene no. Onipa baako koraa anka wɔ kuropɔn no mu. Ɔkumm Makedahene te sɛ deɛ ɔkumm Yerikohene no.
29 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed out of Makeda to Lebna, and besieged Lebna.
Afei, Yosua ne Israelfoɔ no kɔɔ Libna kɔto hyɛɛ wɔn so.
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.
Ɛhɔ nso, Awurade de kuropɔn no ne ɛhɔ ɔhene no maa wɔn. Wɔkunkumm obiara a ɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu a anka ɔteasefoɔ fua po. Na Yosua kumm Libnahene sɛdeɛ ɔkumm Yerikohene no.
31 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed from Lebna to Lachis, and he encamped about it, and besieged it.
Yosua ne Israelfoɔ no firi Libna no, wɔkɔɔ Lakis kɔto hyɛɛ wɔn so.
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.
Na ne nnanu so no, Awurade de Lakis maa Israelfoɔ. Ɛhɔ nso, wɔkunkumm kuropɔn no mu nnipa nyinaa sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ Libna no.
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.
Wɔto hyɛɛ Lakis so no, Geserhene Horam de nʼakodɔm baa sɛ wɔrebɛboa abɔ kuropɔn no ho ban. Nanso Yosua mmarima no kumm no sɛee nʼakodɔm no nyinaa.
34 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed from Lachis to Odollam, and he besieged it and took it.
Ɛnna Yosua ne ne Israel akodɔm no kɔɔ Eglon kɔto hyɛɛ so.
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.
Wɔde ɛda koro faa kuro no dommum na ɛhɔ nso, wɔkumm obiara wɔ kuropɔn no mu sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ Lakis.
36 And Joshua and all Israel with him departed to Chebron, and encamped about it.
Wɔfiri Eglon no, wɔkɔto hyɛɛ Hebron so,
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.
faa hɔ ne nkuro a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa nnommum. Na sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ Eglon no, wɔkunkumm ɛhɔ nnipa nyinaa. Onipa baako koraa anka.
38 And Joshua and all Israel returned to Dabir; and they encamped about it;
Afei, wɔsane wɔn akyi kɔto hyɛɛ Debir so.
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.
Wɔfaa kuropɔn no, wɔn ɔhene ne nkuraa a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa nnommum. Na wɔkumm obiara a ɔwɔ mu a anka ɔbaako mpo. Wɔsɛee Debir pasaa sɛdeɛ wɔsɛee Libna ne Hebron no.
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,
Na Yosua dii ɔmantam no nyinaa so. Ɔdii ahemfo no, nnipa a wɔte mmepɔ ɔman no so, Negeb, atɔeɛ fam nkokoɔ ne wɔn a wɔte mmepɔ nsianeɛ so no nyinaa so. Ɔsɛee wɔn nyinaa pasaa a anka ɔteasefoɔ fua mpo sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, hyɛɛ no.
41 from Cades Barne to Gaza, all Gosom, as far as Gabaon.
Yosua kunkumm wɔn firi Kades-Barnea kɔsii Gasa, de firii Gosen kɔduruu Gibeon.
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.
Akodie baako mu no, Yosua dii ahemfo yi nyinaa so faa wɔn asase, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, reko ma ne manfoɔ.
Afei, Yosua ne Israel akodɔm no sane kɔɔ wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ Gilgal.
