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.
Ke pacl se inge Adonizedek el tokosra lun acn Jerusalem. El lohng lah Joshua el eisla acn Ai ac arulana kunausla acn we, ac uniya tokosra lun acn we oana ke el tuh oru nu ke acn Jericho ac tokosra we. El oayapa lohng lah mwet Gibeon elos insesela yurin mwet Israel ac elos muta misla inmasrlolos.
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].
Na el ac mwet lal elos arulana fosrnga ke pweng se inge, mweyen acn Gibeon yohk oana siti saya su oasr tokosra la, ac yohk liki acn Ai, ac mwet we nukewa mwet wo ke mweun.
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].
Ouinge Tokosra Adonizedek el sapla nu sel Tokosra Hoham lun Hebron, Tokosra Piram lun Jarmuth, Tokosra Japhia lun Lachish, ac Tokosra Debir lun Eglon, ac fahk,
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.”
“Fahsru kasreyu mweuni acn Gibeon, mweyen mwet we elos orala wulela in misla nu sel Joshua ac mwet Israel.”
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.
Ouinge tokosra limekosr inge lun mwet Amor, su tokosra lun Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, ac Eglon, elos orani mwet mweun lalos in som raunela acn Gibeon, ac mweuni mwet we.
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!”
Mwet Gibeon elos sapla nu sel Joshua nu yen elos mutangan aktuktuk we in acn Gilgal, ac fahk, “Nimet ngetla liki kut! Fahsru aksaye nu yorosr! Kasre kut ac molikutla, mweyen tokosra Amor nukewa su muta fulan eol uh pa toeni lain kut inge!”
7 So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
Ouinge Joshua ac mwet mweun lal nukewa wi mwet pisrla ke mweun, elos mukuiyak liki acn Gilgal.
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.”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Nimet kom sangeng selos. Nga eisaloswot tari nu inpoum. Wangin sie selos ac fah ku in lain kom.”
9 Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos fahsr fong nufon se liki acn Gilgal nu Gibeon, na elos sa na sruokya mwet Amor meet liki elos akola.
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.
LEUM GOD El akfohsyauk mwet Amor ye mutun mwet Israel, ac mwet Israel elos onela kutu sin mwet Amor in acn Gibeon, ac elos ukwe mwet lula an ac oatula ke inkanek oasriksrik soko inmasrlon eol in Beth Horon. Na elos oru na anwuk lalos som na nwe sun acn Azekah ac Makkedah, su oan eir in Beth Horon.
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.
Ke mwet Amor elos kaingkin mwet Israel ke innek soko ah, LEUM GOD El supweya af yohk kosra nu faclos ac onelosla. Pus mwet misa ke af yohk kosra liki mwet misa ke cutlass nutin mwet Israel.
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.”
Ke len se LEUM GOD El sang mwet Amor inge nu inpoun mwet Israel, Joshua el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD ye mutun mwet Israel nukewa, “Faht, tui fin acn Gibeon; Ac malem, tui na Infahlfal Aijalon.”
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.
Na faht ah tui, ac malem ah tia mukuila nwe ke na facl sac onelosla su mweun lainulos. Ma inge simla in [Book In Jashar]. Faht ah tui infulwen kusrao ac tia tili ke lusen len nufon se.
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!
Soenna oasr sie len sikyak ouinge omeet me ku tukun pacl sac me, LEUM GOD Elan topuk pusren mwet ke ouiya se inge. LEUM GOD El mweun ke inen mwet Israel!
15 After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Na Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos folokla nu nien aktuktuk lalos Gilgal.
16 While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
Tusruktu, tokosra Amor limekosr ah kaingla ac wikla in luf se in acn Makkedah.
17 Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
Mwet se konalosyak, ac fwackyang nu sel Joshua acn elos wikwik we.
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.
El fahk mu, “Epusang kutu eot lulap an in fonosya mutun luf sacn, ac filiya kutu mwet in taran.
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]”
Tusruktu nik kowos muta we paht. Ukweya mwet lokoalok lowos an ac onelosla, mutawauk na tokyak fahsrot. Nimet lela elos in sun siti lalos an, mweyen LEUM GOD lowos El eisaloswot tari nu inpouwos.”
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 ac mwet Israel elos uniya pusialos, tuh ekasr na selos moulla utyak nu in kalkal lun siti selos.
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.
Ke ma inge mwet mweun lal Joshua nukewa elos moul folokla nu ke nien aktuktuk selos in Makkedah. Wanginna mwet in acn sac fahkla kutena ma lain mwet Israel.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
Na Joshua el fahk, “Ikasla luf sacn ac pwanma tokosra limekosr an nu yuruk.”
23 So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Na elos ikasla mutun luf sac, ac tokosra lun Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, ac Eglon elos ilme.
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.
Ke elos pwanma tokosra limekosr ah nu yorol Joshua, na Joshua el pangonma mwet Israel nukewa ac fahk nu sin mwet kol lun mwet mweun su welul ah, “Fahsru ac longya kwawen tokosra inge.” Ac elos oru oana.
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!”
Na Joshua el fahk nu selos, “Nik kowos sangeng ku alolo. Kowos in ku ac pulaikna, mweyen pa inge ma LEUM GOD El ac oru nu sin mwet lokoalok nukewa lowos.”
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.
Na Joshua el uniya tokosra inge ac srupsralosyak ulun sak limekosr, ac manolos sripsrip na nwe ke ekela.
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.
Ke faht ah tili, Joshua el sap in ituki elos ac sisiyang nu in luf se ma elos tuh wikwik loac ah. Elos sang eot lulap fonosya mutun luf sac, ac eot inge srakna oan nwe misenge.
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.
Joshua el mweun ac sruokya acn Makkedah ac tokosra lun acn we ke len sac. El onela mwet nukewa in siti sac, ac wangin mwet lula. El oru nu sin tokosra Makkedah oana ke el tuh oru nu sin tokosra Jericho ah.
29 That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
Tukun ma inge, Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos som liki acn Makkedah nu Libnah ac mweun lain acn we.
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.
LEUM GOD El oayapa sang kutangla nu sin mwet Israel fin siti se inge ac tokosra lun acn we. Elos onela mwet nukewa in siti sac ac wangin mwet lula. Elos oru nu sin tokosra we oana ke elos tuh oru nu sin tokosra Jericho ah.
31 Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
Tukun ma inge, Joshua ac mwet mweun lal nukewa elos som liki acn Libnah nu Lachish, ac raunela acn we ac mweun lainulos.
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.
LEUM GOD El sang acn Lachish nu inpoun mwet Israel. Joshua el sruokya acn we ke len se akluo ah. Elos onela mwet nukewa in siti sac ac wangin mwet lula, oana ke elos tuh oru in acn Libnah.
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.
Pacl se inge tokosra Horam lun Gezer el tuku in kasru acn Lachish, tuh Joshua el kutangulla ac mwet mweun lal pac, ac wangin sie selos moul.
34 Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
Toko, Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos som liki acn Lachish nu Eglon, ac raunela acn we ac mweun lainulos.
35 On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
Elos eisla acn we ke len sacna, ac onela mwet nukewa we oana ke elos tuh oru in acn Lachish.
36 Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
Na toko, Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos som liki acn Eglon ac fanyak nu Hebron ac mweuni pac acn we.
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.
Elos eisla siti sac ac onela mwet nukewa we, wi tokosra lun acn we ac acn nukewa oan apkuran nu we, ac wangin sie moul. Joshua el arulana kunausla acn we oana ke el tuh oru in acn Eglon.
38 Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
Na Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos forla som nu Debir ac mweuni
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.
ac sruokya acn we. Elos onela mwet we ac mwet in acn nukewa oan apkuran nu we. Joshua el oru nu in acn Debir ac nu sin tokosra we oana ma el tuh oru in acn Hebron ac in acn Libnah ac nu sin tokosra we.
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.
Ouinge Joshua el kutangla in pola sac nufon. El sruokya tokosra inge nukewa — elos su muta fineol uh, acn oatu nu kutulap, oayapa pe eol nu roto, ac yen mwesis nu epang. Wangin sie selos moul. El onelosla nukewa oana ke LEUM GOD lun Israel El tuh sapkin.
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].
Joshua el kutangla acn nukewa, mutawauk Kadesh Barnea tafun yen nu epang, nwe ke acn Gaza sisken meoa wi acn Goshen nufon, utyak nwe Gibeon layen nu eir.
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.
Joshua el kutangla tokosra inge nukewa ac sruokya acn lalos ke fwilin mweun sefanna, mweyen LEUM GOD lun mwet Israel El welulos ke mweun lalos.
43 Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Tukun ma inge Joshua ac mwet mweun lal elos folokla nu nien aktuktuk lalos in acn Gilgal.
