Joshua 10
1 Na rĩrĩa, Adoni-Zedeki mũthamaki wa Jerusalemu aiguire atĩ Joshua nĩarĩkĩtie gũtunyana itũũra rĩa Ai na akarĩananga o biũ, na ageeka Ai na mũthamaki warĩo o ta ũrĩa ekĩte itũũra rĩa Jeriko na mũthamaki warĩo, na atĩ andũ a Gibeoni nĩmagĩte kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa thayũ na Isiraeli na atĩ maatũũraga hakuhĩ nao-rĩ.
When Adonisedec king of Jerusalem had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai, and its king, ) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates,
2 Nake, we na andũ ake makĩmaka mũno nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio, nĩgũkorwo Gibeoni rĩarĩ itũũra inene na rĩa bata, o ta rĩmwe rĩa matũũra marĩa maakoragwo marĩ ma ũthamaki; na rĩarĩ inene gũkĩra Ai, o na ningĩ andũ a rĩo othe maarĩ njamba cia ita.
He was exceedingly afraid. For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Adoni-Zedeki mũthamaki wa Jerusalemu agĩtũmanĩra Hohamu mũthamaki wa Hebironi, na Piramu mũthamaki wa Jaramuthu, na Jafia mũthamaki wa Lakishi, o na Debiri mũthamaki wa Egiloni,
Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:
4 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ambatai mũũke mũndeithie kũhũũra Gibeoni, nĩ ũndũ nĩmagĩte kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa thayũ na Joshua na andũ a Isiraeli.”
Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Josue, and to the children of Israel.
5 Nao athamaki acio atano a Aamori, nao nĩ athamaki a Jerusalemu, na Hebironi, na Jaramuthu, na Lakishi, na Egiloni, magĩcookanĩrĩra hamwe. Makĩambata na mbũtũ ciao ciothe cia ita, nao makĩamba hema ciao mangʼetheire itũũra rĩa Gibeoni, makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it.
6 Nao andũ a Gibeoni magĩtũmanĩra Joshua o kũu Giligali kambĩ-inĩ yake, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũgatiganĩrie ndungata ciaku. Ambata, ũũke gũkũ narua nĩguo ũtũhonokie! Tũteithie nĩ ũndũ athamaki othe a Aamori arĩa matũũraga bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma nĩmacookanĩrĩire matũũkĩrĩre.”
But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua akĩambata akiuma Giligali arĩ na ita rĩake rĩothe hamwe na njamba ciake cia ita iria irĩ hinya.
And Josue went up from Galgal, and all the army of the warriors with him, most valiant men.
8 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ndũkametigĩre, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩmaneanĩte moko-inĩ maku. Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wao ũkũhota gũgwĩtiiria.”
And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee.
9 Thuutha wa gũthiĩ ũtukũ wothe kuuma Giligali, Joshua akĩmahithũkĩra o rĩmwe.
So Josue going up from Galgal all the night, came upon them suddenly.
10 Nake Jehova akĩmarehere kĩrigiicano mbere ya Isiraeli, nao makĩmatooria o biũ kũu Gibeoni. Ningĩ andũ a Isiraeli makĩmatengʼeria na njĩra ĩrĩa yathiĩte yambatĩte nginya Bethi-Horoni, magĩthiĩ makĩmooragaga o nginya Azeka na Makeda.
And the Lord troubled them at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda.
11 Hĩndĩ ĩyo moragĩra andũ a Isiraeli maikũrũkĩte kuuma Bethi-Horoni marorete Azeka-rĩ, Jehova akĩmagũithĩria mahiga manene ma mbura kuuma igũrũ, nao andũ aingĩ makĩũragwo nĩ mahiga macio ma mbura o na gũkĩra arĩa mooragĩtwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli na rũhiũ rwa njora.
And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel.
12 Mũthenya ũrĩa Jehova aaneanire Aamori kũrĩ a Isiraeli-rĩ, Joshua akĩarĩria Jehova, andũ a Isiraeli makĩiguaga, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “We riũa-rĩ, rũgama o ũguo wĩhaande igũrũ rĩa Gibeoni, O nawe mweri-rĩ, rũgama o ro ũguo wĩhaande igũrũ rĩa Gĩtuamba kĩa Aijaloni.”
Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio riũa rĩkĩrũgama o ro ũguo, naguo mweri ũkĩrũgama, o nginya rĩrĩa rũrĩrĩ rũu rwerĩhĩirie harĩ thũ ciao, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Jasharu. Riũa rĩarũgamire o kũu matu-inĩ gatagatĩ na rĩkĩamba gũtiga gũthũa handũ ha mũthenya mũgima.
And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day.
14 Gũtirĩ kwagĩa mũthenya ũngĩ ta ũcio mbere ĩyo kana thuutha ũcio, mũthenya ũrĩa Jehova aacookirie mahooya ta macio. Ti-itherũ Jehova nĩwe warũagĩrĩra andũ a Isiraeli!
There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.
15 Nake Joshua agĩcooka hamwe na andũ othe a Isiraeli kambĩ-inĩ kũu Giligali.
And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.
16 Na rĩrĩ, athamaki acio atano nĩmoorĩte na magathiĩ makehitha thĩinĩ wa ngurunga kũu Makeda.
For the five kings were fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.
17 Rĩrĩa Joshua eerirwo atĩ athamaki acio nĩmonetwo mehithĩte ngurunga-inĩ kũu Makeda,
And it was told Josue that the five kings were found hidden in a cave of the city of Maceda.
18 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Garagariai mahiga manene mũhinge mũromo wa ngurunga ĩyo na mũige arangĩri ho.
And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men, to keep them shut up:
19 No inyuĩ mũtigatithie. Tengʼeriai thũ cianyu, mũcitharĩkĩre mũcirutĩtie na thuutha, na mũtikareke itoonye matũũra macio manene, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩacineanĩte moko-inĩ manyu.”
And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands to shelter themselves in their cities.
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli makĩmaniina biũ, hakuhĩ kwage mũndũ o na ũmwe ũgũtigara, no anini arĩa maatigarire nĩmahotire kũũrĩra matũũra mao manene marĩa maarĩ mairigĩre.
So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities.
21 Mbũtũ yothe ya ita ĩgĩgĩcooka kambĩ kũrĩ Joshua o kũu Makeda na thayũ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wacookire kwaria kiugo gĩa gũũkĩrĩra andũ a Isiraeli.
And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.
22 Joshua agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hingũrai mũromo wa ngurunga-inĩ na mũndehere athamaki acio atano.”
And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩĩka o ũguo, makĩruta athamaki acio atano kuuma ngurunga-inĩ, na nĩo athamaki a Jerusalemu, na Hebironi, na Jaramuthu, na Lakishi o na Egiloni.
And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.
24 Athamaki acio marĩkia kũrehwo harĩ Joshua, agĩĩta andũ othe a Isiraeli na akĩĩra anene a ita arĩa mathiĩte nake atĩrĩ, “Ũkai haha, mũkinye athamaki aya ngingo.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumĩra, magĩkinya athamaki acio ngingo.
And when they were Drought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them,
25 Joshua akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtigetigĩre kana mũkue ngoro. Gĩai na hinya na mũũmĩrĩrie. Ũũ nĩguo Jehova arĩĩkaga thũ cianyu ciothe iria mũrĩrũaga nacio.”
He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.
26 Nake Joshua akĩringa athamaki acio akĩmooraga, agĩcooka akĩmacuuria igũrũ rĩa mĩtĩ ĩtano, nao magĩtinda macunjurĩte mĩtĩ-inĩ ĩyo nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
And Josue struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets, and they hung until the evening.
27 Riũa rĩgĩthũa-rĩ, Joshua agĩathana, nayo mĩĩrĩ ya andũ acio ĩgĩcuurũrio kuuma mĩtĩ-inĩ, ĩgĩikio ngurunga ĩrĩa meehithĩte; na hau mũromo-inĩ wa ngurunga ĩyo hakĩigwo mahiga manene mũno, namo matũire ho o na ũmũthĩ.
And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day.
28 Mũthenya ũcio, Joshua agĩtunyana itũũra rĩa Makeda; akĩniina mũthamaki na itũũra rĩu na rũhiũ rwa njora, na akĩniina andũ othe arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo biũ. Ndaatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo; na agĩĩka mũthamaki wa Makeda o ta ũrĩa eekire mũthamaki wa Jeriko.
The same day Josue took Maceda and destroyed it, with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli rĩothe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake makiuma kũu Makeda magĩthiĩ nginya itũũra rĩa Libina na makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it:
30 Nake Jehova akĩneana itũũra rĩu o narĩo na mũthamaki warĩo moko-inĩ ma andũ a Isiraeli. Nake Joshua akĩniina itũũra rĩu na andũ arĩa maarĩ kuo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Ndaigana gũtigia mũndũ o na ũmwe thĩinĩ warĩo arĩ muoyo. Nake agĩĩka mũthamaki warĩo o ta ũrĩa eekire mũthamaki wa Jeriko.
And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake makiuma kũu Libina magĩthiĩ nginya Lakishi; makĩrĩngʼethera, makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it.
32 Nake Jehova akĩneana Lakishi kũrĩ Isiraeli, nake Joshua akĩrĩtunyana mũthenya wa keerĩ. Itũũra rĩu akĩrĩniina na rũhiũ rwa njora o hamwe na andũ othe arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo, o ta ũrĩa eekire Libina.
And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna.
33 O hĩndĩ ĩyo, nake Horamu mũthamaki wa Gezeri nĩokĩte gũteithia Lakishi, no Joshua akĩmũhoota hamwe na mbũtũ yake, o nginya gũkĩaga mũndũ watigarire muoyo.
At that time Horam king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and Josue slew him with all his people, so as to leave none alive.
34 Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake makiuma kũu Lakishi magĩthiĩ nginya Egiloni; makĩrĩngʼethera makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it,
35 Nao magĩtunyana itũũra rĩu mũthenya o ro ũcio, na makĩrĩniina biũ na rũhiũ rwa njora, na makĩniina andũ othe arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo, o ta ũrĩa meekĩte Lakishi.
And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis.
36 Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake, makĩambata kuuma Egiloni magĩthiĩ nginya Hebironi, makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it:
37 Magĩtunyana itũũra rĩu, na makĩrĩniina na rũhiũ rwa njora hamwe na mũthamaki warĩo, na tũtũũra twarĩo, na arĩa othe maarĩ thĩinĩ watuo. Matiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo. Nao makĩrĩananga biũ hamwe na arĩa othe maarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo, o ta ũrĩa meekĩte Egiloni.
Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it.
38 Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ nake makĩhũndũka, magĩtharĩkĩra Debiri.
Returning from thence to Dabir,
39 Magĩtunyana itũũra rĩu, na mũthamaki warĩo, na tũtũũra twarĩo, makĩmaniina na rũhiũ rwa njora. Makĩananga arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo biũ. Matiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo. Nao magĩĩka Debiri na mũthamaki warĩo o ta ũrĩa meekĩte Libina na mũthamaki warĩo, na noguo meekĩte Hebironi.
He took it and destroyed it: the king also thereof and all the towns round about he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna and to their kings, so did he to Dabir and to the king thereof.
40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩtooria mwena ũcio wothe, naguo bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma, o na Negevu, na ituamba-inĩ cia irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, o na kũu ciikũrũko-inĩ cia irĩma, hamwe na athamaki othe akuo. Ndaatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo. Nĩanangire arĩa othe maarĩ na mĩhũmũ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli aathanĩte.
So Josue conquered all the country of the hills and of the south and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord the God of Israel had commanded him,
41 Joshua akĩmatooria kuuma Kadeshi-Barinea nginya Gaza na kuuma mwena ũcio wothe wa Gosheni nginya Gibeoni.
From Cadesbarne even to Gaza. All the land of Gosen even to Gabaon,
42 Athamaki acio othe hamwe na mabũrũri mao-rĩ, Joshua aamahootire na itharĩkĩra rĩmwe, nĩ ũndũ Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩwe warũagĩrĩra Isiraeli.
And all their kings, and their lands he took and wasted at one onset: for the Lord the God of Israel fought for him.
43 Nake Joshua agĩcooka hamwe na andũ othe a Isiraeli kambĩ-inĩ kũu Giligali.
And he returned with all Israel to the place of the camp in Galgal.
