Joshua 10
1 Later, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua’s army had captured Ai [town] and had destroyed everything in the town. He heard that they had done to the people of Ai and to their king the same thing that they had done to the people of Jericho and their king. He also heard that the people of Gibeon [city] had made a peace treaty with the Israeli people, and that the people of Gibeon were now living near the Israelis and being protected by them.
Joshua ni Jeriko kho hoi siangpahrang koe a sak e patetlah Ai kho Siangpahrang a tuk teh a raphoe e, Gibeon taminaw hoi Isarel miphunnaw kâhuikonae a sak awh teh, cungtalah rei ao awh e Jerusalem Siangpahrang Adonizedek ni a thai torei teh,
2 Because of that, he and the people whom he ruled became very afraid, because Gibeon was an important city, like the other cities that had kings. And [even though] Gibeon was a larger city than Ai and all its soldiers were good fighters, [they thought Joshua’s army might defeat them].
Gibeon kho teh kalenpounge khopui, Ai kho hlak a len teh, kho thung tongpanaw pueng a thakaawmpounge lah ao dawkvah a takipoung awh.
3 So King Adonizedek sent a message to Hosham the king of Hebron [city], to Piram the king of Jarmuth [city], to Jarmuth the king of Lachish [city], and to Debir the king of Eglon [city].
Hatdawkvah Jerusalem Siangpahrang Adonizedek ni Hebron Siangpahrang Hoham, Jarmuth siangpahrang Piram, Lakhish siangpahrang Japhia hoi Eglon Siangpahrang Debir tinaw koe a patoun teh,
4 In the message he said, “Please come up with your armies and help me to attack Gibeon, because the people of Gibeon have made a peace treaty with Joshua and the Israelis.”
Gibeon kho teh Joshua koehoi Isarel miphunnaw hoi kâhuikonae a sak dawkvah, hote kho hah tuk hanelah, kai koe a tho awh teh, kai hoi rei kâkabawm sei ati awh e patetlah,
5 So those five kings who ruled all the groups who were descendants of Amor—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Debir—came up with all of their soldiers and surrounded the city. Then they prepared to attack it.
Jerusalem Siangpahrang, Hebron siangpahrang Amor Siangpahrang, Lakhish siangpahrang Eglon siangpahrang tie siangpahrang panga touh a kamkhueng awh teh, amamae ransanaw puenghoi a kamthaw awh teh, Gibeon kho hah a tuk awh.
6 So the people of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua while he was in the camp at Gilgal. They said, “We are your servants. So do not forsake us. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because the kings of all of the groups descended from Amor and their armies have joined their forces and have come from the hilly area to attack us!”
Gibeonnaw teh, Joshua aonae koe Gilgal kho lah a patoun awh teh, nange na sannaw hah banglahai ngai hoeh e lah awm hanh. Karang lah na rungngang haw, mon dawk kaawm e Amor siangpahrangnaw abuemlah, kaimouh tuk hanelah a kamkhueng awh toe ati awh.
7 So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
Joshua ni Tarantuk kathoumnaw a thakasainaw, tarankahawinaw, abuemlah Gilgal hoi a cei sin awh.
8 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of those armies! I will enable your army to defeat them [IDM]. None of them will be able to (resist/fight and defeat) your army.”
BAWIPA Cathut ni ahnimanaw hah taket awh hanh. Nangmae kut dawk kai ni na poe toe. Nangmae hmalah tami buet touh hai kangdout thai mahoeh telah Joshua koe atipouh.
9 Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
Joshua ni Gilgal hoi karum khodai a cei awh teh, tarannaw kâpanuek sak laipalah a tuk awh.
10 They attacked their enemies before anyone knew that they had come. Yahweh caused their enemies to (become very confused/start running in all directions) when they saw the Israeli army. As a result, the Israeli army defeated them very severely at Gibeon [and killed many of them]. The rest of them fled along the road that goes up to Beth-Horon. But the Israeli army pursued them and killed them all along the road that goes to Azekah and Makkedah towns.
BAWIPA Cathut ni ahnimanaw teh, Isarelnaw e hmalah a sung sak teh, Gibeon kho teng hoi a thei awh teh, Bethhoron kho ceinae lam koe lah a pâlei awh teh, Azekah, hoi Makkedah totouh a thei awh.
11 As they fled in front of the Israeli army, Yahweh threw down huge hailstones from the sky. As a result, more of them died from hailstones falling on them than died as a result of the Israeli army killing them with swords.
Ahnimanaw teh, Isarelnaw e hmalah a yawng awh teh, Bethhoron kho lah a cathuk navah, BAWIPA ni kalvan lahoi kalenpounge talungnaw hah Azekah totouh ahnimouh koe a bo sak. Ahnimanaw teh, Isarelnaw e tahloi dawk hoi a due awh e hlak roun dawk hoi kapap lah a due awh.
12 On the day that Yahweh enabled the Israeli army to defeat the groups who were descendants of Amor, Joshua said to Yahweh while the Israeli people were listening, “Yahweh, cause the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and cause the moon to not move when it is over Aijalon Valley.”
Hottelah Amornaw teh, Isarelnaw e kut dawk a poe hnin hoi Joshua ni Cathut koe a ratoum teh, kanî nang teh, Gibeon kho dawkvah, oe thapa nang teh, Aijalon tanghling dawkvah kâhat haw telah, Isarelnaw e hmalah atipouh e patetlah,
13 And that is what happened. The sun stood still, and the moon did not move, until the Israeli army defeated their enemies. That is what has been written in the book that Jashar wrote. The sun stopped while it was in the middle of the sky, and did not (set/go down) for about a whole day.
Isarelnaw teh a tarannaw hah a tâ awh hoehroukrak kanî hai a kâhat teh, thapa hai a kangdue. Jashar e ca dawk kaawm e teh kalvan lungui tueng vah kanî teh a kangdue, khum laipalah hnin touh thung ao.
14 On that day Yahweh did a great miracle that someone asked him to do. There was never a day like that previously, and there has never been a day like that since. Yahweh was certainly fighting for the Israeli people!
BAWIPA ni tami e lawk hai a ngâi pouh teh, hot patet e hnin, hnin touh hai awm boihoeh. Atuhoi hai bout awm mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut ni Isarelnaw koelah a kampangkhai teh, taran a tuk.
15 After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Hahoi Joshua teh, Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Gilgal rim koe lah a ban awh.
16 While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
Siangpahrang panga touh teh a yawng awh teh, Makkedah lungngoum thung a kâhro awh.
17 Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
Makkedah lungngoum thung kâhrawk e siangpahrang panga touh teh, ka hmu awh toe telah Joshua koe a thai sak awh.
18 When Joshua heard that, he said, “Roll some very large rocks to the entrance of the cave so that the kings cannot escape, and leave some soldiers there to guard it.
Joshua ni lungngoum kâko koe talung kalenpounge naw racawt awh nateh, ka ring e taminaw hai tat awh.
19 But do not stay there! Pursue our enemies! Attack them from behind! Do not allow them to escape to their cities, because Yahweh, our God, will enable you to defeat/kill them. [IDM]”
Nangmanaw teh, tarannaw hah pâlei awh nateh, na pha awh e tami pueng hah, thet awh. Kho thung kâen sak hanh awh. Nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni ahnimouh teh, nangmae kut dawk na poe toe atipouh.
20 So Joshua’s army did what he told them to do. They killed almost all of the enemy soldiers, but a few of them were able to reach their cities and be safe inside the walls of the cities.
Joshua hoi Isarelnaw ni a tarannaw koung a thei awh teh, kaawm rae taminaw teh kacakpounge khopui thung a kâen awh teh, ao awh.
21 Then Joshua’s army returned to Joshua, who was still in their camp at Makkedah. No one in the land dared to criticize [MTY] the Israelis.
taminaw abuemlah ni Joshua a onae Makkedah rim koe duem a ban awh. Isarelnaw buet touh boehai apinihai yon pen awh hoeh.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
Joshua ni lungngoum a paawng teh, hote siangpahrang panga touh hah lungngoum thung hoi tâcawt sak awh nateh, kai koe thokhai awh atipouh e patetlah,
23 So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Ahnimouh ni a sak awh teh, Jerusalem siangpahrang, Hebron siangpahrang, Jarmuth siangpahrang, Lakhish siangpahrang, hoi Eglon siangpahrang, panga touh hah lungngoum thung hoi a hrawi awh.
24 When they brought those kings to Joshua [and forced them to lie on the ground], he summoned all the Israeli soldiers, and then he said to the army commanders, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings!” So the commanders did that.
Joshua koe a thokhai hnukkhu Joshua ni ama hoi cungtalah taran ka tuk e, ransabawinaw hoi Isarelnaw abuemlah a kaw teh, tho awh, hete siangpahrangnaw e lahuen dawk khok toung awh hottelah ransabawinaw koe a dei e patetlah, ahnimouh ni a tho awh teh, siangpahrangnaw e a lahuen dawk a coungroe pouh awh.
25 Then Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid of any of our enemies! Never be discouraged! Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all the enemies you will fight!”
Joshua ni nangmouh ni na tuk awh e na tarannaw abuemlah, BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a sak han dawkvah taket awh hanh. Lungpout sak hanh, tha kâlat awh nateh, taranhawinae tawn awh atipouh teh,
26 Then Joshua killed each of the five kings with his sword, and told his soldiers to hang the bodies of the five kings on trees. So they did that, and they left the bodies hanging on the trees until sunset.
Hote siangpahrangnaw hah tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, thingkung panga touh dawk a bang awh. Tangmin lah totouh thingkung dawk a kâbang.
27 At sunset, Joshua told them to take the bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. So the soldiers did that, and then they put those large rocks at the entrance of the cave again. Those rocks are still there.
Kanî a khup torei teh, Joshua ni dei e patetlah thingkung dawk e a la awh teh amamanaw a kâhronae lungngoum koe a tâkhawng awh teh lungngoum kâkhu koe talung kalen poung naw a racawt sin awh. Hote talung a racawt awh e teh, sahnin totouh ao.
28 That is how Joshua’s army attacked and captured Makkedah. They killed the king and everyone else in the town. They did not leave anyone alive. They did to the king of Makkedah the same thing that they had done to the king of Jericho.
Hot hnin nah Joshua ni Makkedah kho a tuk teh, kho hoi siangpahrangnaw tahloi hoi a thei hnukkhu siangpahrang hoi kho thung e abuemlah buet touh hai pahlout laipalah be a raphoe. Jeriko siangpahrang koe a sak e patetlah Makkedah siangpahrang koehai a sak awh.
29 That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
Hathnukkhu Joshua ni Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Makkedah kho hoi Libnah kho a tuk awh.
30 Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] that city and its king. They killed everyone in the city; they did not (spare anyone/allow anyone to remain alive). They killed the king of Libnah just like they had killed the king of Jericho.
BAWIPA ni kho hoi siangpahrang teh Isarelnaw e kut dawk a poe. Kho hoi kho thung e taminaw abuemlah buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah, tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, Jeriko siangpahrang koe a sak e patetlah hote siangpahrang koehai a sak awh.
31 Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
Joshua ni Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Libnah kho hoi Lakhish kho lah a cei awh teh a tuk awh.
32 On the second day of the battle, Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] the city. And like they had done at Libnah, they killed everyone [DOU] in the city.
BAWIPA Cathut ni hote kho teh Isarelnaw e kut dawk a poe teh hnin pahni hnin a la pouh awh. Libnah kho a sak e patetlah kho hoi khocanaw abuemlah tahloi hoi a thei awh.
33 King Horam from Gezer [city and his army] came to help [the soldiers of] Lachish, but Joshua’s [army] defeated Horam and his army, and did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Hahoi Gezer siangpahrang Horam ni Lakhish kho kabawp hanelah a tho dawkvah Joshua ni hote siangpahrang hoi taminaw abuemlah buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah koung a thei awh.
34 Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
Hahoi Joshua ni Isarelnaw abuemlah hoiyah Lakhish kho hoi Eglon kho lah a cei awh teh a tuk awh.
35 On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
Hot hnin vah a la awh teh Lakhish kho dawk a sak awh e patetlah kho hoi khocanaw abuemlah tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, hnin touh hoi koung a raphoe awh.
36 Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
Hahoi Joshua ni Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Eglon kho hoi Hebron kho lah a cei awh teh a tuk awh.
37 and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else, just like they had done at Eglon. They did not allow anyone to remain alive.
A la awh torei teh Eglon kho dawk a sak e patetlah kho hoi siangpahrang naw, hote kho hoi kâkuen e pueng, kho kaawm e pueng, kho thung e taminaw pueng, buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, kho hoi taminaw abuemlah koung a raphoe awh.
38 Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
Hahoi Joshua ni Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Debir kho lah a ban awh teh a tuk awh.
39 They captured the city and its king, and also captured the nearby towns. Then they killed everyone [DOU]; they did to the people there the same thing that they had done at Hebron and Libnah.
Kho hoi siangpahrang naw, kho dawk kaawm e abuemlah a la awh teh, tahloi hoi a thei teh, kho thung taminaw abuemlah buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah, koung a raphoe awh. Hebron kho, Libnah kho e siangpahrangnaw koe a sak awh e patetlah Debir kho hoi siangpahrangnaw koehai a sak awh.
40 That is how Joshua [and his army] conquered the entire southern part of Canaan. They defeated the kings [who ruled] the hilly area, the dry southern area, the [western] foothills, and the [eastern] slopes. They killed everyone [DOU] in those areas; they did not allow anyone to remain alive.
Hottelah Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut ni kâ a poe awh e patetlah Joshua ni Mon dawk e, akalah tanghling dawk e, palang dawk kaawm e pueng hah, siangpahrangnaw abuemlah a thei teh, kahring e buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah koung a raphoe.
41 Joshua’s soldiers captured all the cities from Kadesh-Barnea [city] in the far south to Gaza [city] near the coast, including all the Goshen area, and north to Gibeon [city].
Kadeshbarnea kho koehoi kamtawng teh, Gaza kho totouh, Goshen ram abuemlah hoi, Gibeon kho totouh, a thei awh.
42 At that one time, Joshua’s army conquered all the kings and captured all the territory that they [ruled]. They were able to do that because Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], was fighting for them.
Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut ni Isarelnaw koe lahoi taran a tuk dawkvah, hote ramnaw hoi siangpahrangnaw abuemlah vaitalahoi a tâ awh.
43 Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Hathnukkhu Joshua teh Isarelnaw abuemlah hoi Gilgal rim koe lah a ban awh.
