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.
Då nu AdoniZedech, Konungen i Jerusalem, hörde att Josua hade vunnit Aj, och gifvit det tillspillo, och hade gjort Aj och dess Konung lika såsom han hade gjort Jericho och dess Konung, och att de Gibeoniter hade gjort frid med Israel, och voro komne ibland dem,
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].
Fruktade de svårliga; förty Gibeon var en stor stad, såsom en af Konungastäderna, och större än Aj, och alle hans borgare gode stridsmän.
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].
Och han sände till Hoham, Konungen i Hebron, och till Piram, Konungen i Jarmuth, och till Japhia, Konungen i Lachis, och till Debir, Konungen i Eglon, och lät säga dem:
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.”
Kommer hitupp till mig, och hjelper mig, att vi må slå Gibeon; förty de hafva gjort frid med Josua och Israels barnom.
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.
Då kommo tillhopa, och drogo uppåt, de fem Amoreers Konungar: Konungen i Jerusalem, Konungen i Hebron, Konungen i Jarmuth, Konungen i Lachis, Konungen i Eglon, med all deras härlägre, och belade Gibeon, och stridde deremot.
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!”
Men de af Gibeon sände till Josua i lägret i Gilgal, och läto säga honom: Drag icke dina hand ifrå dina tjenare; kom hitupp till oss snarliga, undsätt och hjelp oss; ty alla de Amoreers Konungar, som bo uppå bergen, hafva samkat sig tillhopa emot oss.
7 So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
Josua drog ditupp ifrå Gilgal, och allt krigsfolket med honom, och alle gode stridsmän.
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.”
Och Herren sade till Josua: Frukta dig intet för dem; ty jag hafver gifvit dem i dina händer; ingen af dem skall kunna blifva ståndandes för dig.
9 Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
Alltså kom Josua hasteliga på dem; ty han drog i hela nattene upp ifrå Gilgal.
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.
Men Herren förskräckte dem för Israel, så att de slogo dem en stor slagtning af i Gibeon; och jagade efter dem på den vägen till BethHoron, och slogo dem intill Aseka och Makkeda.
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.
Och då de flydde för Israel den vägen nederåt till BethHoron, lät Herren falla af himmelen stora hagelstenar på dem intill Aseka, så att de blefvo döde; och mycket flere af dem blefvo döde af hagelstenarna, än Israels barn slogo med svärd.
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.”
Då talade Josua med Herranom, på den dagen, när Herren gaf de Amoreer för Israels barn, och sade i Israels närvaro: Sol, statt stilla i Gibeon, och måne, i Ajalons dal.
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.
Då stod solen stilla, och månen desslikes, tilldess att folket hämnade sig på sina fiendar. Är icke detta skrifvet i dens frommas bok? Så stod solen midt på himmelen, och fördröjde gå neder, sånär en helan dag.
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!
Och hafver ingen dag varit lik vid denna, hvarken förr eller sedan, då Herren lydde ens mans röst; ty Herren stridde för Israel.
15 After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Och Josua drog åter i lägret igen till Gilgal; och hela Israel med honom.
16 While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
Men de fem Konungar voro flydde, och undstungo sig uti en kulo i Makkeda.
17 Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
Då vardt Josua sagdt: Vi hafve funnit de fem Konungar fördolda i ene kulo i Makkeda.
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.
Josua sade: Så välter stora stenar för gapet af kulone; och befaller några män, som taga der vara på dem.
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]”
Men I står icke stilla, utan jager efter edra fiendar, och slår deras eftersta, och låter icke komma dem i deras städer; ty Herren edar Gud hafver gifvit dem i edra händer.
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.
Och då Josua och Israels barn hade lyktat den mägtiga stora slagtningen på dem, och platt slagit dem, hvad sedan qvart blef af dem, det kom in i de fasta städer.
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.
Så kom allt folket åter i lägret igen till Josua i Makkeda med frid; och ingen torde röra sina tungo för Israels barn.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
Men Josua sade: Låter upp gapet för kulone, och drager fram de fem Konungar till mig.
23 So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
De gjorde ock så, och hade de fem Konungar till honom utu kulone: Konungen i Jerusalem, Konungen i Hebron, Konungen i Jarmuth, Konungen i Lachis, Konungen i Eglon.
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.
Då nu desse Konungar voro framledde till honom, kallade Josua hela Israel, och sade till de öfversta af krigsfolket, som med honom drogo: Kommer hit, och träder dessa Konungarna på halsen med fötterna; och de kommo fram, och trädde på deras halsar med fötterna.
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!”
Och Josua sade till dem: Frukter eder intet, och grufver eder intet; varer tröste och vid ett fritt mod; ty alltså skall Herren göra alla edra fiendar, som I emot striden.
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.
Och Josua slog dem sedan, och drap dem, och hängde dem i fem trä; och de hängde i trän allt intill aftonen.
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.
Då solen var nedergången, böd han, att man skulle taga dem ned af trän, och kasta dem in i kulona, der de sig uti fördolt hade; och lade stora stenar för gapet af kulone, hvilke der ännu äro på denna dag.
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.
På den samma dagen vann ock Josua Makkeda, och slog det med svärdsegg, med dess Konung, och gaf det tillspillo, och alla de själar, som derinne voro, och lät ingen blifva igen; och gjorde dem Konungenom i Makkeda, såsom han hade gjort Konungenom i Jericho.
29 That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
Så drog Josua, och hela Israel med honom, ifrå Makkeda till Libna, och stridde deremot.
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.
Och Herren gaf det också i Israels hand, med dess Konung; och han slog det med svärdsegg, och alla de själar, som derinne voro, och lät ingen blifva igen derinne; och gjorde dess Konung, såsom han hade gjort Konungenom i Jericho.
31 Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
Sedan drog Josua, och hela Israel med honom, ifrå Libna till Lachis; belade och bestridde det.
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.
Och Herren gaf desslikes Lachis i Israels händer, så att de vunno det på annan dagen, och slogo det med svärdsegg, och alla de själar som derinne voro, alldeles som han hade gjort i Libna.
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.
På samma tiden drog Horam, Konungen i Geser, upp till att hjelpa Lachis; men Josua slog honom med allt hans folk, tilldess ingen igenblef.
34 Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
Och Josua drog ifrå Lachis med hela Israel, intill Eglon, och belade och bestridde det;
35 On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
Och vann det på samma dag, och slog det med svärdsegg, och gaf tillspillo alla de själar, som derinne voro på samma dagen, alldeles såsom han hade gjort Lachis.
36 Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
Sedan drog Josua med hela Israel ifrån Eglon upp till Hebron, och bestridde det;
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.
Och vann det, och slog det med svärdsegg, och dess Konung med alla dess städer, och alla de själar, som derinne voro; och lät icke en igenblifva, alldeles såsom han hade gjort Eglon; och gaf det tillspillo, och alla de själar som derinne voro.
38 Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
Då vände Josua igen med hela Israel inåt Debir, och bestridde det;
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.
Och vann det med dess Konung, och alla dess städer, och slogo dem med svärdsegg, och gåfvo tillspillo alla de själar som derinne voro; och lät icke en igenblifva. Såsom han hade gjort Hebron, så gjorde han ock Debir och dess Konung, och såsom han hade gjort Libna och dess Konung.
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.
Alltså slog Josua allt landet på bergen, och söderut, och i dalarna, och vid bäckerna, med alla deras Konungar; och lät icke en igenblifva; och gaf tillspillo allt det som anda hade, såsom Herren Israels Gud budit hade;
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].
Och slog dem allt ifrå KadesBarnea intill Gasa; och hela landet Gosen intill Gibeon;
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.
Och vann alla dessa Konungarna med deras land, allt med en ryck; ty Herren Israels Gud stridde för Israel.
43 Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Och Josua drog åter i lägret till Gilgal med hela Israel.
