Joshua 10
1 And it came to pass when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it, that he had done to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them,
Adoni Zedek, raja Yerusalem, mendengar bahwa Yosua sudah merebut dan menghancurkan seluruh kota Ai serta membunuh rajanya, seperti yang sudah mereka lakukan terhadap kota Yeriko dan rajanya. Dia juga mendengar bahwa penduduk kota Gibeon sudah membuat perjanjian damai dengan orang Israel dan tinggal di antara mereka.
2 that they feared greatly; for Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
Karena itu seluruh penduduk Yerusalem sangat ketakutan, sebab Gibeon adalah kota yang sangat besar— sama besarnya dengan kota-kota yang mempunyai raja, bahkan lebih besar daripada Ai. Lagipula, orang Gibeon adalah pejuang yang tangguh.
3 And Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piream king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Oleh sebab itu, Adoni Zedek, raja Yerusalem, mengirim utusan kepada Hoham, raja Hebron, kepada Piram, raja Yarmut, dan kepada Yafia, raja Lakis, serta kepada Debir, raja Eglon. Katanya kepada mereka,
4 Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
“Datanglah dan bantulah saya menghancurkan Gibeon, karena mereka sudah membuat perjanjian damai dengan Yosua dan orang Israel.”
5 And 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, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and they encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
Maka kelima raja bangsa Amori itu mengumpulkan pasukan mereka, lalu maju mengepung dan menyerang kota Gibeon.
6 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Withdraw not thy hand from thy servants: come up to us quickly, and save us and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered against us.
Orang-orang Gibeon pun mengirim pesan kepada Yosua di perkemahan di Gilgal, “Tuan, janganlah membiarkan hamba-hambamu ini! Segeralah datang menyelamatkan kami. Tolong! Semua raja bangsa Amori yang tinggal di pegunungan sudah bergabung untuk menyerang kami.”
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, even all the valiant men.
Maka Yosua dan seluruh pasukannya, termasuk pejuang-pejuang terbaiknya, berangkat mendaki dari Gilgal.
8 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear them not; for into thy hand have I given them: not a man of them shall stand before thee.
TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, “Jangan takut, karena Aku sudah menyerahkan mereka kepadamu. Tidak ada seorang pun dari mereka yang akan mengalahkanmu.”
9 And Joshua came upon them suddenly; he went up from Gilgal all night.
Sepanjang malam Yosua dan pasukannya mendaki dari Gilgal ke kota Gibeon, lalu mereka menyerang orang Amori dengan tiba-tiba.
10 And Jehovah discomfited them before Israel, and smote them [with] a great slaughter at Gibeon; and he chased them on the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them up to Azekah and Makkedah.
TUHAN membuat orang Amori panik, dan pasukan Israel membantai mereka secara besar-besaran di Gibeon. Orang Israel kemudian mengejar yang masih hidup melewati Bet Horon di puncak gunung dan membunuh mereka di sepanjang jalan sampai ke Azeka dan Makeda.
11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, — they were at the descent of Beth-horon, — that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them up to Azekah, and they died. They were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel had slain with the sword.
Sementara orang Amori lari dari orang Israel, TUHAN menurunkan hujan es yang besar dari langit, sejak mereka turun dari Bet Horon sampai ke Azeka. Jumlah orang Amori yang mati karena hujan es itu lebih banyak daripada yang dibunuh oleh pasukan Israel.
12 Then spoke Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah gave up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; And thou, moon, in the valley of Ajalon!
Pada hari itu, ketika TUHAN menyerahkan orang Amori kepada orang Israel, Yosua berkata kepada TUHAN di hadapan bangsanya, “Hai matahari, berhentilah di atas Gibeon! Hai bulan, diamlah di atas lembah Ayalon!”
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon remained where it was, until the nation had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? And the sun remained standing in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a full day.
Maka berhentilah matahari dan bulan sampai bangsa Israel mengalahkan musuh mereka. Peristiwa ini dicatat dalam kitab Yasar. Matahari berhenti di tengah langit selama hampir satu hari penuh waktu itu.
14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened to the voice of a man; for Jehovah fought for Israel.
Tidak pernah ada hari seperti hari itu, baik sebelumnya maupun sesudahnya, bahwa TUHAN mengabulkan doa seperti itu. TUHANlah yang berperang untuk Israel.
15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal.
Sesudah pertempuran itu selesai, Yosua dan pasukan Israel kembali ke perkemahan mereka di Gilgal.
16 And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
Selama pertempuran, kelima raja Amori tadi melarikan diri dan bersembunyi di dalam sebuah gua di Makeda.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found, hid in the cave at Makkedah.
Ketika Yosua mendengar bahwa mereka sudah ditemukan bersembunyi di sana,
18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones before the mouth of the cave, and set men before it to keep them.
dia berkata, “Tutuplah gua itu dengan batu-batu besar dan tempatkan beberapa orang untuk menjaga mereka.
19 And ye, stay not, pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities; for Jehovah your God has given them into your hand.
Tetapi yang lain jangan berhenti di sana. Kejarlah musuh dan seranglah mereka dari belakang. Jangan biarkan mereka kembali masuk ke kota-kota berbenteng mereka, karena TUHAN Allahmu, sudah menyerahkan mereka kepada kalian.”
20 And it came to pass when Joshua and the children of Israel had ended smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, that the remnant which remained of them entered into fortified cities;
Yosua dan pasukan Israel terus membantai orang Amori sampai hampir semuanya tewas. Hanya beberapa yang berhasil menyelamatkan diri ke dalam kota-kota berbenteng.
21 and all the people returned to the camp to Joshua, at Makkedah, in peace; none moved his tongue against the children of Israel.
Kemudian seluruh pasukan Israel kembali dengan selamat kepada Yosua di perkemahan mereka di Makeda. Sejak itu, tidak ada seorang pun yang berani melawan orang Israel.
22 And Joshua said, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me those five kings out of the cave.
Sesudah itu, Yosua memerintahkan, “Singkirkanlah batu-batu dari mulut gua dan bawalah kelima raja itu kepadaku.”
23 And they did so, and brought forth to him those five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
Maka dibawalah kepada Yosua lima raja itu dari dalam gua: raja Yerusalem, raja Hebron, raja Yarmut, raja Lakis, dan raja Eglon.
24 And it came to pass when they had brought forth those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called to all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, Come forward, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came forward and put their feet on their necks.
Ketika mereka membawa raja-raja itu kepadanya, Yosua memanggil seluruh pasukan Israel berkumpul. Dia berkata kepada panglima-panglima pasukan, “Mendekatlah dan taruhlah kaki kalian di atas leher raja-raja ini.” Lalu mereka melakukannya.
25 And Joshua said to them, Fear not, neither be dismayed; be strong and courageous, for thus will Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
Kata Yosua kepada mereka, “Jangan takut dan jangan patah semangat. Kalian harus kuat dan berani, karena beginilah TUHAN akan memperlakukan semua musuh yang kalian perangi.”
26 And afterwards Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees; and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
Kemudian Yosua membunuh kelima raja itu dan menggantung mereka pada lima tiang. Mayat kelima raja itu dibiarkan tergantung sampai petang.
27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave where they had been hid, and laid great stones before the cave's mouth, [which remain] to this very day.
Ketika matahari mulai terbenam, Yosua menyuruh orang menurunkan mayat-mayat itu dari tiang dan membuangnya ke dalam gua tempat mereka tadi bersembunyi. Lalu para suruhan Yosua menutup gua itu dengan batu-batu besar. Sampai kitab ini ditulis, batu-batu itu masih ada di sana.
28 And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, him and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed; he let none remain; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Pada hari itu, Yosua dan pasukannya merebut serta menghancurkan kota Makeda. Mereka membunuh semua orang di kota itu. Tidak ada seorang pun yang dibiarkan hidup. Yosua membunuh raja Makeda sama seperti dia sudah membunuh raja Yeriko.
29 And Joshua passed, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
Dari Makeda, Yosua bersama seluruh pasukan Israel pergi ke Libna dan menyerang kota itu.
30 And Jehovah gave it also and the king thereof into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it: and he did to the king thereof as he had done to the king of Jericho.
TUHAN juga menyerahkan kota itu beserta rajanya kepada bangsa Israel. Mereka membunuh semua orang di sana. Tidak ada satu pun yang dibiarkan hidup. Yosua membunuh raja Libna seperti dia sudah membunuh raja Yeriko.
31 And Joshua passed, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
Dari kota Libna, Yosua dan seluruh pasukan Israel pergi ke kota Lakis untuk mengepung dan menyerangnya.
32 And Jehovah gave Lachish into the hand of Israel; and they took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
TUHAN juga menyerahkan kota Lakis kepada bangsa Israel. Mereka merebut kota itu pada hari kedua dan membunuh semua orang di kota itu, sama seperti mereka membunuh semua orang di kota Libna.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
Ketika pasukan Israel menyerang kota Lakis, raja Horam dari kota Gezer datang membawa pasukannya untuk membantu kota Lakis. Tetapi Yosua dan pasukannya membunuh mereka. Tidak ada satu pun yang dibiarkan hidup.
34 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, passed from Lachish to Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it.
Dari Lakis, Yosua dan seluruh pasukan Israel pergi ke kota Eglon. Mereka mengepung kota itu dan menyerangnya.
35 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed on that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Mereka berhasil merebut Eglon pada hari itu juga dan membunuh semua orang di sana, sama seperti mereka sudah membunuh semua orang di kota Lakis.
36 And Joshua went up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron; and they fought against it.
Dari Eglon, Yosua dan seluruh pasukan Israel pergi mendaki ke kota Hebron, menyerang kota itu,
37 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein: he let none remain, according to all that he had done to Eglon; and he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein.
lalu merebutnya. Mereka membunuh rajanya dan semua orang di kota itu, serta di desa-desa sekitarnya. Tidak seorang pun mereka biarkan hidup, sama seperti yang sudah mereka lakukan terhadap kota Eglon.
38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it.
Berikutnya Yosua dan seluruh pasukan Israel turun kembali ke Debir dan menyerang kota itu.
39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: as he had done to Hebron, and as he had done to Libnah, and to the king thereof, so he did to Debir and to the king thereof.
Mereka merebut kota itu dan membunuh rajanya dan semua orang di kota itu, serta di desa-desa sekitarnya. Tidak ada satu pun yang dibiarkan hidup. Mereka menghancurkan kota Debir dan membunuh rajanya, sama seperti yang mereka lakukan terhadap kota Libna dan Hebron.
40 And Joshua smote the whole country, the mountain, and the south, and the lowland, and the hill-slopes, and all their kings: he let none remain, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded.
Demikianlah Yosua menaklukkan seluruh negeri itu— daerah pegunungan, padang belantara Negeb di sebelah selatan Kanaan, dataran rendah di sebelah barat, dan lereng-lereng gunung di sebelah timur. Mereka membunuh semua orang di daerah itu dan semua rajanya. Tidak ada seorang pun yang dibiarkan hidup, seperti yang sudah diperintahkan oleh TUHAN, Allah Israel.
41 And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even to Gazah, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon;
Yosua mengalahkan mereka dari kota Kades Barnea sampai kota Gaza, dan seluruh daerah Gosyen sampai ke kota Gibeon.
42 and all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time; for Jehovah the God of Israel fought for Israel.
Yosua mengalahkan semua raja itu hanya dalam satu peperangan, karena TUHAN, Allah Israel, berperang bagi mereka.
43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal.
Lalu Yosua dan pasukan Israel kembali ke perkemahan mereka di Gilgal.
