Joshua 10
1 And it comes to pass, when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem hears that Joshua has captured Ai, and devotes it (as he had done to Jericho and to her king so he has done to Ai and to her king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon have made peace with Israel, and are in their midst—
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 are greatly afraid, because Gibeon [is] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [is] greater than Ai, and all its men [are] heroes.
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 sends to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram 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, and we strike Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua, and with the sons of Israel.”
“Datanglah dan bantulah saya menghancurkan Gibeon, karena mereka sudah membuat perjanjian damai dengan Yosua dan orang Israel.”
5 And five kings of the Amorite (the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon) are gathered together, and go up, they and all their camps, and encamp against Gibeon, and fight against it.
Maka kelima raja bangsa Amori itu mengumpulkan pasukan mereka, lalu maju mengepung dan menyerang kota Gibeon.
6 And the men of Gibeon send to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not let your hand cease from your servants; come up to us [with] haste, and give safety to us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorite, dwelling in the hill-country, have been assembled 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 And Joshua goes up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, even all the mighty men of valor.
Maka Yosua dan seluruh pasukannya, termasuk pejuang-pejuang terbaiknya, berangkat mendaki dari Gilgal.
8 And YHWH says to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have given them into your hand, there does not stand a man of them in your presence.”
TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, “Jangan takut, karena Aku sudah menyerahkan mereka kepadamu. Tidak ada seorang pun dari mereka yang akan mengalahkanmu.”
9 And Joshua comes to them suddenly (all the night he has gone up from Gilgal),
Sepanjang malam Yosua dan pasukannya mendaki dari Gilgal ke kota Gibeon, lalu mereka menyerang orang Amori dengan tiba-tiba.
10 and YHWH crushes them before Israel, and strikes them [with] a great striking at Gibeon, and pursues them the way of the ascent of Beth-Horon, and strikes them to Azekah, and to 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 comes to pass, in their fleeing from the face of Israel—they [are] in the descent of Beth-Horon—and YHWH has cast great stones on them out of the heavens, to Azekah, and they die; more are they who have died by the hailstones than they whom the sons of Israel have slain by 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 Joshua speaks to YHWH in the day of YHWH’s giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he says before the eyes of Israel, “Sun—stand still in Gibeon; and 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 stands still, and the moon has stood—until the nation takes vengeance [on] its enemies; is it not written on the Scroll of the Upright, “and the sun stands in the midst of the heavens, and has not hurried to go in—as a perfect 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 has not been like that day before it or after it, for YHWH’s listening to the voice of a man; for YHWH is fighting 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 turns back, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
Sesudah pertempuran itu selesai, Yosua dan pasukan Israel kembali ke perkemahan mereka di Gilgal.
16 And these five kings flee, and are hidden in a cave at Makkedah,
Selama pertempuran, kelima raja Amori tadi melarikan diri dan bersembunyi di dalam sebuah gua di Makeda.
17 and it is declared to Joshua, saying, “The five kings have been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah.”
Ketika Yosua mendengar bahwa mereka sudah ditemukan bersembunyi di sana,
18 And Joshua says, “Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and appoint men over it to watch them;
dia berkata, “Tutuplah gua itu dengan batu-batu besar dan tempatkan beberapa orang untuk menjaga mereka.
19 and you, do not stand, pursue after your enemies, and you have struck them from the rear; do not permit them to go into their cities, for your God YHWH 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 comes to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel finish to strike them [with] a very great striking until they are consumed, and the remnant who have remained of them go into the 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 that all the people return to the camp, to Joshua, [at] Makkedah, in peace; none moved his tongue sharply against the sons 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 says, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out to me these five kings from the cave”;
Sesudah itu, Yosua memerintahkan, “Singkirkanlah batu-batu dari mulut gua dan bawalah kelima raja itu kepadaku.”
23 and they do so, and bring out to him these five kings from 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 comes to pass, when they bring out these kings to Joshua, that Joshua calls to every man of Israel, and says to the captains of the men of war, who have gone with him, “Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings”; and they draw near, and set 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 says to them, “Do not fear, nor be frightened; be strong and courageous; for thus does YHWH do to all your enemies with whom you are fighting”;
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 Joshua strikes them afterward, and puts them to death, and hangs them on five trees; and they are hanging on 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 comes to pass, at the time of the going in of the sun, Joshua has commanded, and they take them down from off the trees, and cast them into the cave where they had been hid, and put great stones on the mouth of the cave until 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 has captured Makkedah on that day, and he strikes it by the mouth of the sword, and he has devoted its king, them and every person who [is] in it—he has not left a remnant; and he does to the king of Makkedah as he did 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 passes over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah [to] Libnah, and fights with Libnah;
Dari Makeda, Yosua bersama seluruh pasukan Israel pergi ke Libna dan menyerang kota itu.
30 and YHWH also gives it into the hand of Israel, and its king, and [Joshua] strikes it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it—he does not leave a remnant in it; and he does to its king as he did 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 passes over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encamps against it, and fights against it.
Dari kota Libna, Yosua dan seluruh pasukan Israel pergi ke kota Lakis untuk mengepung dan menyerangnya.
32 And YHWH gives Lachish into the hand of Israel, and [Joshua] captures it on the second day, and strikes it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it, according to all that he did 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 has come up to help Lachish, and Joshua strikes him and his people, until he has not left a remnant to him.
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 passes over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish to Eglon, and they encamp against it, and fight against it,
Dari Lakis, Yosua dan seluruh pasukan Israel pergi ke kota Eglon. Mereka mengepung kota itu dan menyerangnya.
35 and capture it on that day, and strike it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it he has devoted on that day, according to all that he did 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 goes up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron, and they fight against it,
Dari Eglon, Yosua dan seluruh pasukan Israel pergi mendaki ke kota Hebron, menyerang kota itu,
37 and capture it, and strike it by the mouth of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and every person who [is] in it—he has not left a remnant—according to all that he did to Eglon—and devotes it, and every person who [is] in it.
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 turns back, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fights against it,
Berikutnya Yosua dan seluruh pasukan Israel turun kembali ke Debir dan menyerang kota itu.
39 and captures it, and its king, and all its cities, and they strike them by the mouth of the sword, and devote every person who [is] in it—he has not left a remnant; as he did to Hebron so he did to Debir, and to its king, and as he did to Libnah, and to its king.
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 strikes all the land of the hill-country, and of the south, and of the low-country, and of the springs, and all their kings—he has not left a remnant, and he has devoted all that breathe, as YHWH, God of Israel, 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 strikes them from Kadesh-Barnea, even to Gaza, and all the land 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 Joshua has captured all these kings and their land [at] one time, for YHWH, God of Israel, is fighting for Israel.
Yosua mengalahkan semua raja itu hanya dalam satu peperangan, karena TUHAN, Allah Israel, berperang bagi mereka.
43 And Joshua turns back, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
Lalu Yosua dan pasukan Israel kembali ke perkemahan mereka di Gilgal.
