< Joshua 10 >

1 Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, learned that Joshua had captured Ai and destroyed the town completely, as he had also done to Jericho, and had killed its king, just as he had the king of Jericho. He also heard that the Gibeonites had made peace with the Israelites and were allied with them.
A, ka rongo a Aronitereke, te kingi o Hiruharama, kua horo a Hai i a Hohua, a kua whakangaromia hoki e ia; a ko tana i mea ai ki Heriko, ki tona kingi, ko tana hoki tera i mea ai ki Hai, ki tona kingi; a kua houhia e nga tangata o Kipeono te rong o ki a Iharaira, kua noho hoki ki waenganui i a ratou;
2 The people of Jerusalem were very frightened by this because Gibeon was a large town—as large as any town ruled by the king, and larger than Ai, and its men were tough fighters.
Na tino wehi ana ratou; no te mea he pa nui a Kipeono, pera me tetahi o nga pa rangatira, he nui atu hoki i Hai, a ko ona tangata katoa he toa.
3 So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent a message to Hoham, king of Hebron, Piram, king of Jarmuth, Japhia, king of Lachish, and Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
Na ka tono tangata a Aronitereke kingi o Hiruharama ki a Hohama kingi o Heperona, ki a Pirama kingi o Iaramuta, ki a Tapia kingi o Rakihi, ratou ko Repiri kingi o Ekerona, ka mea,
4 “Come and help me attack Gibeon because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
Haere mai ki ahau, hei awhina moku, kia patua ai e tatou a Kipeono, mo ratou i hohou i te rongo ki a Hohua ratou ko nga tama a Iharaira.
5 So these five Amorite kings (the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and their armies gathered and set off. They surrounded Gibeon and then began their attack.
Na huihui ana, haere mai ana nga kingi tokorima o nga Amori, te kingi o Hiruharama, te kingi o Heperona, te kingi o Iaramuta, te kingi o Rakihi, te kingi o Ekerona, ratou ko a ratou taua katoa, a whakapae ana i Kipeono, tatau ana i reira.
6 The Gibeonites sent a message to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, “Please don't abandon us, your servants! Come quickly and save us! We need your help for all the Amorite kings of the hill country have joined in attacking us.”
Na ka tono tangata nga tangata o Kipeono ki a Hohua ki te puni, ki Kirikara, ka mea, Kei puhoi mai tou ringa ki au pononga; hohoro te haere mai ki a matou, ki te whakaora i a matou, awhinatia mai hoki matou; no te mea kua rupeke mai nga kingi kat oa o nga Amori e noho ana i nga maunga ki a matou.
7 So Joshua, all his fighting men and best fighters, set off from Gilgal.
Na haere atu ana a Hohua i Kirikara, ratou tahi ko te hunga hapai patu katoa, me nga tangata maia katoa.
8 The Lord had said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid of them, for you will defeat them. Not a single one will be able to stand against you.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Kaua e wehi i a ratou: kua hoatu hoki ratou e ahau ki tou ringa, a e kore tetahi tangata o ratou e tu ki tou aroaro.
9 By marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua arrived without warning.
Na huakina tatatia ana ratou e Hohua; i haere ake hoki ia i Kirikara i te po.
10 The Lord threw the Amorite armies into a panic when they saw the Israelites. He struck them down with a great blow at Gibeon; he chased them all the way up to Beth-horon, cutting them down on the way to Azekah and Makkedah.
Na meinga ana ratou e Ihowa kia pororaru i mua i a Iharaira, a patua ana ratou e ia ki Kipeono, he nui te parekura, a whaia ana ratou e ia i te huarahi e haere ana ki runga ki Petehorono, na tukitukia ana ratou a tae noa ki Ateka, a Makera atu a na.
11 As they ran away from the Israelites down the slope from Beth-horon, the Lord hurled large hailstones down on them from the skies all the way to Azekah. More were killed by the hailstones than we killed by the swords of the Israelites.
A, i a ratou e rere ana i te aroaro o Iharaira, i te hekenga iho ki Petehorono, na ka maka iho e Ihowa he kohatu nunui i te rangi ki runga ki a ratou a tae noa ki Ateka, na mate ana ratou: hira ake nga tangata i mate i nga nganga kohatu i nga me a i patua e nga tama a Iharaira ki te hoari.
12 On the day that the Lord handed the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke by the Lord in the presence of the Israelites, saying, “Sun, stand still over Gibeon! Moon, stand still over the Valley of Aijalon!”
Katahi ka korero a Hohua ki a Ihowa i te ra i homai ai e Ihowa nga Amori ki te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira, ka mea hoki i te tirohanga mai o Iharaira, Kati mai koe, e te ra, i runga i Kipeono; me koe hoki, e te marama, ki te raorao o Atarono.
13 The sun stopped moving, and the moon stood still, until the nation of Israel had inflicted defeat on their enemies. (This is recorded in the Book of Jashar). The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not go down for around a full day.
Na mau tonu mai te ra, tu tonu mai hoki te marama, a whiwhi noa te iwi ki te utu i o ratou hoariri. Kahore ianei tenei mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Tahera? Tu ana tera te komaru i waenganui o te rangi, kahore ano hoki i hohoro te heke a rite noa tetahi ra tuturu.
14 There wasn't a day like this ever before or since when the Lord listened to a human voice in such a way. It was because the Lord was fighting for Israel.
Na kahore he rite mo taua ra i mua atu, i muri mai ranei, i rongo ai a Ihowa ki te reo tangata: i whawhai hoki a Ihowa mo Iharaira.
15 Then Joshua and all the army returned to the camp at Gilgal.
Na hoki ana a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa ki te puni, ki Kirikara.
16 The five kings had run away and hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Ko aua kingi tokorima ia i rere, a piri ana ki roto ki tetahi ana i Makera.
17 When Joshua was told that the five kings were hiding in a cave at Makkedah,
A ka korerotia ki a Hohua, i meatia, Kua kitea nga kingi tokorima, kei te ana i Makera e piri ana.
18 he gave this order, “Roll some large stones to block the entrance to the cave and have some men guard it.
Na ka mea a Hohua, Hurihia atu etahi kohatu nunui ki te kuwaha o te ana, whakanohoia hoki etahi tangata ki reira hei tiaki i a ratou.
19 But don't you stay there. Chase the enemy down and attack them from the rear. Don't let them escape to their towns for the Lord has given them to you to defeat.”
Ko koutou ia kaua hei tu; whaia o koutou hoariri, patua te hiku o ratou; kaua hoki ratou e tukua kia tapoko ki roto ki o ratou pa: he mea hoki kua homai ratou e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, ki to koutou ringa.
20 So Joshua and the Israelites totally defeated them, striking them down and killing them. Only a few of them survived to escape back to their towns.
A, no ka mutu i a Hohua ratou ko nga tama a Iharaira te patu i a ratou, he nui rawa te parekura a poto noa ratou, ko nga morehu o ratou i toe i riro ki roto ki nga pa whai taiepa,
21 The army returned to Joshua at the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared even to threaten the Israelites.
Na hoki marie ana te iwi katoa ki a Hohua, ki te puni, ki Makera: kihai rawa hoki i oraora te arero o tetahi tangata ki tetahi o nga tama a Iharaira.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance and bring out the five kings to me from the cave.”
Katahi ka mea a Hohua, Uakina te kuwaha o te ana, whakaputaina mai hoki ki ahau i te ana nga kingi tokorima na.
23 So they did, bringing out the five kings from the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Na peratia ana e ratou, whakaputaina mai ana e ratou ki a ia i te ana aua kingi tokorima, te kingi o Hiruharama, te kingi o Heperona, te kingi o Iaramuta, te kingi o Rakihi, me te kingi o Ekerona.
24 When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the fighting men, and said to the commanders who had gone with him, “Come here, and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came over and put their feet on their necks.
A, ka oti aua kingi te whakaputa mai e ratou ki a Hohua, ka karanga a Hohua ki nga tangata katoa o Iharaira, a ka mea ki nga rangatira o nga tangata hapai patu i haere tahi me ia, Whakatata mai, e tu o koutou waewae ki runga ki nga kaki o enei k ingi. Na whakatata ana mai ratou, tu ana o ratou waewae ki runga ki o ratou kaki.
25 Joshua said to them, “Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! Be strong and be brave! For the Lord is going to do the same thing to all your enemies that you're going to fight!”
I mea ano a Hohua ki a ratou, Kaua koutou e wehi, kaua hoki e pawera, kia kaha, kia toa: no te mea ka peneitia e Ihowa o koutou hoariri katoa e whawhai nei koutou ki a ratou.
26 Then Joshua killed the kings and hung their bodies on five trees and left them hanging there until the evening.
A muri iho ka patua ratou e Hohua, ka whakamatea, a whakairihia ake ratou ki runga ki nga rakau e rima: na iri ana ratou i runga i nga rakau a ahiahi noa.
27 As the sun went down Joshua gave the order to take their bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. Then the Israelites piled up stones over the entrance to the cave, and they are there to this very day.
Na i te wa o te tonga o te ra ka whakahaua e Hohua kia tangohia ki raro o nga rakau, kia maka hoki ki roto ki te ana i piri ai ratou, kia whakatakotoria hoki etahi kohatu nunui ki te kuwaha o te ana; e takoto mai nei a taea noatia tenei ra.
28 That day Joshua captured Makkedah, killing all its inhabitants, including the king. He set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He killed the king of Makkedah just as he had killed the king of Jericho.
A horo ana i a Hohua a Makera i taua rangi ano, patua iho ana hoki e ia ki te mata o te hoari, me tona kingi ano; i whakangaromia rawatia ratou e ia me nga wairua katoa i roto, kahore he morehu i mahue i a ia: a peratia ana e ia te kingi o Maker a me tana i mea ai ki te kingi o Heriko.
29 Then Joshua and the Israelite army left Makkedah and went to attack Libnah,
Na haere atu ana a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa i Makera ki Ripina, a tauria ana e ia a Ripina:
30 and the Lord gave the town and its king to the Israelites. Joshua had everyone in it killed, leaving no survivors. He killed its king just as he had killed the king of Jericho.
A i homai ano e Ihowa a reira, me tona kingi, ki te ringa o Iharaira; na patua iho e ia a reira ki te mata o te hoari, me nga tangata katoa i roto; kihai i mahue i a ia tetahi morehu i reira; heoi peratia ana e ia te kingi o reira me tana i mea ai ki te kingi o Heriko.
31 Then Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Libnah to Lachish, surrounding the town and attacking it.
Na haere atu ana a Hohua i Ripina, ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa, ki Rakihi, a whakapaea ana a reira, tauria ana e ia:
32 The Lord gave the town to the Israelites who captured it on the second day. Joshua had everyone in it killed, just as he had done in Libnah.
A i homai e Ihowa a Rakihi ki te ringa o Iharaira, a horo ana a reira i a ia i te rua o nga ra; patua iho hoki ki te mata o te hoari, me nga tangata katoa i roto; i rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki Ripina.
33 Then Horam, king of Gezer, came with his army to help Lachish, but Joshua and his men killed them, leaving no survivors.
I reira ano ka haere mai a Horama kingi o Ketere hei awhina mo Rakihi; a patua iho ia me tona iwi e Hohua, a kahore rawa tetahi morehu ona i toe.
34 Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Lachish to Eglon, surrounding the town and attacking it.
Na ka haere atu a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa i Rakihi ki Ekerona; a whakapaea ana a reira e ratou, tauria ana:
35 They captured it the same day. Joshua had everyone in it killed that very day. He set it apart and completely destroyed it, just as he had done in Lachish.
Na horo ana a reira i a ratou i taua rangi ano, patua ana hoki ki te mata o te hoari, ko nga tangata katoa i roto huna iho e ia i taua rangi ano, rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki Rakihi.
36 Joshua and the Israelite army left Eglon and went to attack Hebron.
Na haere atu ana a Hohua i Ekerona, me Iharaira katoa ano hoki ki Heperona, a tauria ana a reira e ia.
37 They captured the town, as well as the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Eglon, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it.
A horo ana i a ratou a reira, patua iho hoki ki te mata o te hoari, me tona kingi, me ona pa katoa, me nga tangata katoa i roto; kahore tetahi morehu i mahue i a ia, rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki Ekerona; na huna iho e ia a reira, me nga tangata katoa i roto.
38 Then Joshua and the Israelite army turned and went to attack Debir.
Katahi ka hoki a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa ki Repiri; ka tatau hoki ki reira.
39 He captured it and its king and all the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Hebron, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it. He killed the king of Debir just as he had killed the king of Libnah.
A riro ana i a ia a reira me tona kingi, me ona pa katoa; a patua iho e ratou ki te mata o te hoari, whakangaromia katoatia ana hoki nga tangata i roto; kahore tetahi morehu i mahue i a ia: ko tana i mea ai ki Heperona i meatia ano e ia ki Repir i, ki tona kingi; i pera ano me tana i mea ai ki Ripina, ki tona kingi.
40 So Joshua conquered the whole land—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes—and all their kings. He didn't leave a single survivor. He killed everyone as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.
Na patua ana e Hohua te whenua katoa, te whenua pukepuke, te tonga, te mania me nga pukenga wai, me nga kingi katoa hoki o reira; kahore i waiho e ia tetahi morehu: engari i huna katoatia e ia nga mea whai manawa, i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa, ki ta te Atua o Iharaira, i whakahau ai.
41 Joshua destroyed them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza and the whole of the land from Goshen to Gibeon.
Na patua ana ratou e Hohua i Kareheparenea a tae noa ki Kaha, me te whenua katoa hoki o Kohena a tae noa ki Kipeono.
42 All the kings and their lands were conquered by Joshua in one campaign because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for the Israelites.
Ko enei kingi katoa me to ratou oneone i riro i a Hohua i te whakaekenga kotahi, no te mea i roto i a Iharaira a Ihowa e whawhai atu ana.
43 Joshua and the Israelite army then returned to the camp at Gilgal.
Na hoki ana a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa ki te puni, ki Kirikara.
