Joshua 10
1 And it came to pass, when Adonizedec, king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and devoted it to destruction, as he had done unto Jericho and her king, so, had he done unto Ai and her king, —and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and had come into 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 then feared they greatly, because Gibeon was, a great city, as one of the royal cities, —and because, it, was greater than Ai, and, all the men thereof, 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 therefore sent Adonizedec, king of Jerusalem, unto Hoham, king of Hebron, and unto Piram, king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia, king of Lachish, and unto 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 unto me and help me, that we may smite Gibeon, —for it hath 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 So they gathered themselves together and came up, even the five kings of the Amorites—the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, —they, and all their hosts, —and encamped near Gibeon, and made war against it.
Maka kelima raja bangsa Amori itu mengumpulkan pasukan mereka, lalu maju mengepung dan menyerang kota Gibeon.
6 So the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not withhold thy hand from thy servants, —Come up unto us quickly, and save us, and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country, are gathered together 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 mighty men of valour.
Maka Yosua dan seluruh pasukannya, termasuk pejuang-pejuang terbaiknya, berangkat mendaki dari Gilgal.
8 And Yahweh said unto Joshua: Do not fear because of them, for, into thy hand, have I delivered 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 So then Joshua came in unto them, suddenly, —all the night, came he up, from Gilgal.
Sepanjang malam Yosua dan pasukannya mendaki dari Gilgal ke kota Gibeon, lalu mereka menyerang orang Amori dengan tiba-tiba.
10 And Yahweh confused them before Israel, and smote them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, —and chased them along the way that goeth up Beth-horon, and smote them as far as Azekah and as far as 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, when they fled from before Israel, they, being on the slope of Beth-horon, that, Yahweh, cast down upon them great stones out of the heavens, as far as Azekah, and they died, —more, were they who died by the hailstones, than they whom the sons of Israel slew 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, spake Joshua unto Yahweh, on the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, —yea he said, in the presence of Israel—Thou Sun! in Gibeon, be still, and thou Moon! in the vale of Aijalon.
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 So the sun, was still, and, the moon, stayed, until a nation should be avenged on its foes. Is not, that, written in the Book of the Upright? So then the sun stayed in the middle of the heavens, and hastened not to go in, about a whole 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, when Yahweh hearkened unto the voice of a man, —in that, Yahweh, himself 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 So Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
Sesudah pertempuran itu selesai, Yosua dan pasukan Israel kembali ke perkemahan mereka di Gilgal.
16 So these five kings fled, —and hid themselves in a 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 are found, hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Ketika Yosua mendengar bahwa mereka sudah ditemukan bersembunyi di sana,
18 And Joshua said, Roll ye great stones against the mouth of the cave, —and set over it men, to watch them;
dia berkata, “Tutuplah gua itu dengan batu-batu besar dan tempatkan beberapa orang untuk menjaga mereka.
19 but do not, ye, stay, chase after your enemies, so shall ye attack them in the rear, —do not suffer them to enter into their cities, for Yahweh your God hath delivered 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 sons of Israel had made an end of smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were spent, then did, the remainder that were left of them, enter 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 And all the people returned unto the camp, unto Joshua at Makkedah, in peace, —none sharpened his tongue at any man of 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 Then said Joshua, Open ye the mouth of the cave, —and bring out unto me, these 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 out unto him, these five kings, out of the cave, —namely, 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 brought out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war who had been with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. So they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
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 Then said Joshua unto them: Do not fear, nor be alarmed, —be firm and bold, for, thus and thus, will Yahweh do unto all your enemies, against whom ye do 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 Joshua smote them after this, and put them to death, and hanged them upon five trees, —and they remained hung 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 came to pass, at the time of the going in of the sun, that Joshua gave command, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave, where they had hid themselves, —and put great stones upon the mouth of the cave, [which remain], 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 captured, Makkedah, on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and, the king thereof, devoted he to destruction, them and all the souls that were therein, he left no survivor, —but did unto the king of Makkedah, as he had done unto 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 over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah unto Libnah, —and fought against Libnah;
Dari Makeda, Yosua bersama seluruh pasukan Israel pergi ke Libna dan menyerang kota itu.
30 and Yahweh delivered, it also, into the hand of Israel, with the king thereof, and he smote it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls that were therein, he left therein no survivor, —but did unto the king thereof, as he had done unto 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 over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah unto 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 Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he captured it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls that were therein, —according to all that he had done unto 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, came up Horam, king of Gezer, to help Lachish, —and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had not left him a survivor.
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 passed over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish unto 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 captured it on the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and, all the souls that were therein, on that day, devoted he to destruction, —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 unto Hebron, —and they fought against it;
Dari Eglon, Yosua dan seluruh pasukan Israel pergi mendaki ke kota Hebron, menyerang kota itu,
37 and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, with all the souls that were therein—he left not a survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon, —he devoted it to destruction, 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 Then Joshua turned back, and all Israel with him, unto Debir, —and fought against it;
Berikutnya Yosua dan seluruh pasukan Israel turun kembali ke Debir dan menyerang kota itu.
39 and captured it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and devoted to destruction every soul that was therein, he left not a survivor, —as he had done unto Hebron, so, did he unto Debir, and unto the king thereof, as also he had done unto Libnah, and unto her 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 So Joshua smote all the land—the hill country, and the south, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings, he left not a survivor, —but, every breathing thing, devoted he to destruction, as Yahweh, 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 Yea Joshua smote them, from Kadesh-barnea, even as far as Gaza, —and all the land of Goshen, even as far as Gibeon.
Yosua mengalahkan mereka dari kota Kades Barnea sampai kota Gaza, dan seluruh daerah Gosyen sampai ke kota Gibeon.
42 Yea, all these kings and their land, did Joshua capture at one time, —because, Yahweh, 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, unto the camp at Gilgal.
Lalu Yosua dan pasukan Israel kembali ke perkemahan mereka di Gilgal.
