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.
And it cometh to pass, when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heareth that Joshua hath captured Ai, and doth devote it (as he had done to Jericho and to her king so he hath done to Ai and to her king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon have made peace with Israel, and are in their midst, —
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.
that they are greatly afraid, because Gibeon [is] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [is] greater than Ai, and all its men — heroes.
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,
And Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sendeth unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir 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 unto me, and help me, and we smite Gibeon, for it hath made peace with Joshua, and with the sons 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.
And five kings of the Amorite (the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon) are gathered together, and go up, they and all their camps, and encamp against Gibeon, and fight against 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.”
And the men of Gibeon send unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, saying, 'Let not thy hand cease from thy servants; come up unto us [with] haste, and give safety to us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorite, dwelling in the hill-country, have been assembled 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 Joshua goeth up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, even all the mighty men of valour.
8 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ndũkametigĩre, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩmaneanĩte moko-inĩ maku. Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wao ũkũhota gũgwĩtiiria.”
And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'Be not afraid of them, for into thy hand I have given them, there doth not stand a man of them in thy presence.'
9 Thuutha wa gũthiĩ ũtukũ wothe kuuma Giligali, Joshua akĩmahithũkĩra o rĩmwe.
And Joshua cometh in unto them suddenly (all the night he hath gone up from Gilgal),
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 Jehovah doth crush them before Israel, and it smiteth them — a great smiting — at Gibeon, and pursueth them the way of the ascent of Beth-Horon, and smiteth them unto Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
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 it cometh to pass, in their fleeing from the face of Israel — they [are] in the descent of Beth-Horon — and Jehovah hath cast upon them great stones out of the heavens, unto Azekah, and they die; more are they who have died by the hailstones than they whom the sons of Israel have slain by the sword.
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 speaketh Joshua to Jehovah in the day of Jehovah's giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he saith, before the eyes of Israel, 'Sun — in Gibeon stand still; and moon — in 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 standeth still, and the moon hath stood — till the nation taketh vengeance [on] its enemies; is it not written on the Book of the Upright, 'and the sun standeth in the midst of the heavens, and hath not hasted to go in — as a perfect 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!
And there hath not been like that day before it or after it, for Jehovah's hearkening to the voice of a man; for Jehovah is fighting for Israel.
15 Nake Joshua agĩcooka hamwe na andũ othe a Isiraeli kambĩ-inĩ kũu Giligali.
And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
16 Na rĩrĩ, athamaki acio atano nĩmoorĩte na magathiĩ makehitha thĩinĩ wa ngurunga kũu Makeda.
And these five kings flee, and are hidden in a cave at Makkedah,
17 Rĩrĩa Joshua eerirwo atĩ athamaki acio nĩmonetwo mehithĩte ngurunga-inĩ kũu Makeda,
and it is declared to Joshua, saying, 'The five kings have been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah.'
18 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Garagariai mahiga manene mũhinge mũromo wa ngurunga ĩyo na mũige arangĩri ho.
And Joshua saith, 'Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and appoint over it men to watch them;
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 ye, stand not, pursue after your enemies, and ye have smitten the hindmost of them; suffer them not to go in unto their cities, for Jehovah your God hath given them into your hand.'
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.
And it cometh to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel finish to smite them — a very great smiting, till they are consumed, and the remnant who have remained of them go in unto the 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.
that all the people turn back to the camp, unto Joshua, [at] Makkedah, in peace; none moved sharply his tongue against the sons of Israel.
22 Joshua agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hingũrai mũromo wa ngurunga-inĩ na mũndehere athamaki acio atano.”
And Joshua saith, 'Open ye the mouth of the cave, and bring out unto me these five kings from the cave;'
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 they do so, and bring out unto him these five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, 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 it cometh to pass, when they bring out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua calleth unto every man of Israel, and saith unto the captains of the men of war, who have gone with him, 'Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings;' and they draw near, and set their feet on their necks.
25 Joshua akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtigetigĩre kana mũkue ngoro. Gĩai na hinya na mũũmĩrĩrie. Ũũ nĩguo Jehova arĩĩkaga thũ cianyu ciothe iria mũrĩrũaga nacio.”
And Joshua saith unto them, 'Fear not, nor be affrighted; be strong and courageous; for thus doth Jehovah do to all your enemies with whom ye are fighting;'
26 Nake Joshua akĩringa athamaki acio akĩmooraga, agĩcooka akĩmacuuria igũrũ rĩa mĩtĩ ĩtano, nao magĩtinda macunjurĩte mĩtĩ-inĩ ĩyo nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
and Joshua smiteth them afterwards, and putteth them to death, and hangeth them on five trees; and they are hanging on the trees till 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 it cometh to pass, at the time of the going in of the sun, Joshua hath commanded, and they take them down from off the trees, and cast them unto the cave where they had been hid, and put great stones on the mouth of the cave till this very 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.
And Makkedah hath Joshua captured on that day, and he smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and its king he hath devoted, them and every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant; and he doth to the king of Makkedah as he did 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 Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah [to] Libnah, and fighteth with Libnah;
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 Jehovah giveth also it into the hand of Israel, and its king, and it smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it — it left not in it a remnant; and it doth to its king as it did to the king of Jericho.
31 Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake makiuma kũu Libina magĩthiĩ nginya Lakishi; makĩrĩngʼethera, makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encampeth against it, and fighteth against 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 Jehovah giveth Lachish into the hand of Israel, and it captureth it on the second day, and smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it, according to all that it did to Libnah.
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.
Than hath Horam king of Gezer come up to help Lachish, and Joshua smiteth him and his people, till he hath not left to him a remnant.
34 Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake makiuma kũu Lakishi magĩthiĩ nginya Egiloni; makĩrĩngʼethera makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish to Eglon, and they encamp against it, and fight against 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 capture it on that day, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it on that day he hath devoted, according to all that he did to Lachish.
36 Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake, makĩambata kuuma Egiloni magĩthiĩ nginya Hebironi, makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
And Joshua goeth up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron, and they fight 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.
and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant — according to all that he did to Eglon — and doth devote it, and every person who [is] in it.
38 Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ nake makĩhũndũka, magĩtharĩkĩra Debiri.
And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fighteth against it,
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.
and captureth it, and its king, and all its cities, and they smite them by the mouth of the sword, and devote every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant; as he did to Hebron so he did to Debir, and to its king, and as he did to Libnah, and to its king.
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.
And Joshua smiteth all the land of the hill-country, and of the south, and of the low-country, and of the springs, and all their kings — he hath not left a remnant, and all that doth breathe he hath devoted, as Jehovah, God of Israel, commanded.
41 Joshua akĩmatooria kuuma Kadeshi-Barinea nginya Gaza na kuuma mwena ũcio wothe wa Gosheni nginya Gibeoni.
And Joshua smiteth them from Kadesh-Barnea, even unto Gaza, and all the land of Goshen, even unto Gibeon;
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 these kings and their land hath Joshua captured [at] one time, for Jehovah, God of Israel, is fighting for Israel.
43 Nake Joshua agĩcooka hamwe na andũ othe a Isiraeli kambĩ-inĩ kũu Giligali.
and Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
