Iosua 10
1 EIA hoi kekahi; a lohe o Adonizedeka, ke alii o Ierusalema, i ke pio ana o Ai ia Iosua, a me kona luku ana ia wahi; e like me kana hana ana ia Ieriko a me kona alii, pela kana hana ana ia Ai, me ko laila alii; a ua hookuikahi aku na kanaka o Gibeona me ka Iseraela, a ua noho pu me lakou;
Kwasekusithi lapho uAdonizedeki inkosi yeJerusalema esezwile ukuthi uJoshuwa uyithumbile iAyi, wayitshabalalisa, njengalokho akwenza eJeriko lenkosini yayo, wenze njalo eAyi lenkosini yayo, lokuthi abahlali beGibeyoni benza ukuthula loIsrayeli, babephakathi kwabo,
2 Makau loa oia, me kona poe, no ka mea, he kulanakanhale nui o Gibeona, me he kulanakauhale alii la, no ka mea, oia ka nui o laua o Ai, a o ko laila poe kanaka a pau, he poe koa loa.
besaba kakhulu, ngoba iGibeyoni yayingumuzi omkhulu njengomunye wemizi yenkosi, langoba yayinkulu kuleAyi, lamadoda ayo wonke engamaqhawe.
3 Nolaila kii aku la o Adonizedeka, ke alii o Ierusalema, ia Hohama, i ke alii o Heberona, a ia Pirama, i ke alii o Iaremuta, a ia Iapia, i ke alii o Lakisa, a ia Debira, ke alii o Egelona, i aku la ia lakou,
Ngakho uAdonizedeki inkosi yeJerusalema yathumela kuHohamu inkosi yeHebroni, lakuPiramu inkosi yeJarimuthi, lakuJafiya inkosi yeLakishi, lakuDebiri inkosi yeEgiloni, esithi:
4 E hele mai oukou io'u nei, e kokua mai ia'u, i pepehi kakou i ko Gibeona; no ka mea, ua hookuikahi lakou me Iosua a me na mamo a Iseraela.
Yenyukelani kimi lingisize, ukuze siyitshaye iGibeyoni; ngoba yenzile ukuthula loJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
5 Alaila, akoakoa mai la na'lii elima o ka Amora, o ke alii o Ierusalema, o ke alii o Heberona, o ke alii o Iaremuta, o ke alii o Lakisa, a me ke alii o Egelona, a pii aku la lakou a me ko lakou huna kau a a pau, a hoomoana iho la ma ke alo o Gibeona, a kaua aku la.
Ngakho amakhosi amahlanu amaAmori, inkosi yeJerusalema, inkosi yeHebroni, inkosi yeJarimuthi, inkosi yeLakishi, inkosi yeEgiloni, ahlangana enyuka, wona lamabutho awo wonke, amisa inkamba maqondana leGibeyoni, alwa layo.
6 Hoouna koke mai la na kanaka o Gibeona ia Iosua, ma kahi ana i hoomoana'i ma Gilegala, i mai la, Mai hookaulua oe i kou lima i kau poe kauwa nei; e pii koke mai io makou nei, e hoopakele, a e kokua mai ia makou; no ka mea, ua akoakoa mai nei na'lii a pau o ka Amora, ka poe e noho ana ma na mauna, e ku e ia makou.
Amadoda eGibeyoni asethumela kuJoshuwa enkambeni yeGiligali esithi: Isandla sakho singatshiyi izinceku zakho; yenyukela kithi masinyane usisindise usisize, ngoba amakhosi wonke amaAmori ahlala ezintabeni asesihlanganyele.
7 Alaila, pii aku la o Iosua, mai Gilegala aku, oia, a me na kanaka kaua a pau pu me ia, a me ka poe koa ikaika a pau.
Ngakho uJoshuwa wenyuka esuka eGiligali, yena labo bonke abantu bempi kanye laye, lawo wonke amaqhawe alamandla.
8 I mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, Mai makau ia lakou; no ka mea, ua haawi au ia lakou a pau iloko o kou lima, aole loa e ku kekahi kanaka o lakou imua ou.
INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Ungabesabi, ngoba ngibanikele esandleni sakho; kakulamuntu wabo ozakuma phambi kwakho.
9 Hiki koke aku la o Iosua ia lakou, i kona hele ana, mai Gilegala aku i ka po a ao.
UJoshuwa wasebajuma, enyuke ubusuku bonke esuka eGiligali.
10 Hooauhee aku la o Iehova ia lakou imua o ka Iseraela, a luku aku la oia ia lakou i ka make nui loa, ma Gibeona, a hahai aku la no hoi oia ia lakou, ma ke ala e hiki aku ai i Betehorona, a pepehi iho la ia lakou a hiki i Azeka, a i Makeda.
INkosi yabasanganisa phambi kukaIsrayeli, yabatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu eGibeyoni, yaxotshana labo endleleni enyukela eBhethi-Horoni, yabatshaya kwaze kwaba seAseka kwaze kwaba seMakeda.
11 A i ko lakou hee ana imua o ka Iseraela, i ko lakou iho ana i Betehorona, hoolei mai la o Iehova i na pohaku nui maluna o lakou, mai ka lani mai, a hiki i Azeka, a make lakou. Ua nui ka poe i make i ka huahekili, he hapa ka poe i make i na mamo a Iseraela, i ka pahikaua.
Kwasekusithi besabaleka phambi kukaIsrayeli ekwehleni kweBhethi-Horoni, iNkosi yaphosela phezu kwabo amatshe amakhulu evela emazulwini, kwaze kwaba seAzeka, njalo bafa. Babebanengi abafa ngesiqhotho okwedlula labo abantwana bakoIsrayeli abababulala ngenkemba.
12 Alaila, olelo aku la o Iosua ia Iehova, i ka la i haawi mai ai o Iehova i ka Amora na na mamo a Iseraela, i aku la ia imua o ke alo o ka Iseraela, E ka la, e kau malie oe maluna o Gibeona, a o oe hoi, e ka mahina, maluna o ke awawa o Aialona.
Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wakhuluma eNkosini mhla iNkosi inikela amaAmori phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, wathi phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli: Langa, mana eGibeyoni, lawe nyanga, esihotsheni seAjaloni.
13 Kau malie iho la ka la, a ku malie no hoi ka mahina, a hoopai aku la na kanaka i ko lakou, poe enemi. Aole anei keia ka mea i palapalaia ma ka buke a Iasera? Kau malie no ka la mawaena o ka lani, aole i hoomau i kona hele a pau ka la hookahi.
Lelanga lathi mpo lenyanga yema, abantu baze baziphindisela ezitheni zabo. Lokhu kakubhaliwe yini egwalweni lukaJashari? Ngakho ilanga lema phakathi komkhathi, kalaze laphangisa ukutshona phose okosuku olupheleleyo.
14 Aole la e like me ia mamua, aole hoi mahope, i lohe ai o Iehova i ka leo o ke kanaka; no ka mea, kaua maoli no o Iehova mamuli o ka Iseraela.
Kaluzanga lube khona usuku olunjalo ngaphambi kwalo loba emva kwalo lapho iNkosi eyalizwa khona ilizwi lomuntu, ngoba iNkosi yamlwela uIsrayeli.
15 Hoi mai la o Iosua a me ka Iseraela a pau pu me ia, a i kahi i hoomoana'i ma Gilegala.
UJoshuwa wasebuyela enkambeni eGiligali loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye.
16 Holo aku la ua mau alii nei elima, a pee iho la iloko o ke ana ma Makeda.
Kodwa lawomakhosi amahlanu abaleka, acatsha ebhalwini eMakeda.
17 Ua haiia mai ia Iosua, i ka i ana mai, Ua loaa na'lii elima, ua pee lakou iloko o kekahi ana aia ma Makeda.
Kwasekubikwa kuJoshuwa ukuthi: Amakhosi amahlanu atholwe ecatshile ebhalwini eMakeda.
18 I aku la o Iosua, E olokaa i mau pohaku nui ma ka waha o ke ana, a e hoonoho i mau kanaka e kiai ia lakou:
UJoshuwa wasesithi: Giqelani amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni wobhalu, limise amadoda kulo ukuwalinda.
19 Mai kakali oukou, e hahai oukou i ko oukou poe enemi, a e pepehi i ko lakou hopena. Mai kuu aku ia lakou e komo iloko o ko lakou mau kulanakauhale; no ka mea, na Iehova ko oukou Akua i haawi mai ia lakou i ko oukou lima.
Kodwa lina lingami; xotshanani lezitha zenu, lizitshaye ngemuva kwazo, lingaziyekeli zingene emizini yazo, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izinikele esandleni senu.
20 Luku aku la o Iosua a me na mamo a Iseraela ia lakou i ka make nui loa, a oki loa iho la lakou, alaiia, holo aku la ke koena o lakou a komo iloko o na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa.
Kwasekusithi lapho uJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli sebeqedile ukuzitshaya ngokutshaya okukhulukazi zaze zaqedwa, insali eyasalayo yazo yangena emizini evikelweyo.
21 Hoi maluhia mai la na kanaka a pau i kahi a lakou i hoomoana'i, io Iosua la, ma Makeda. Aole loa i hookala kekahi i kona alelo i na mamo a Iseraela.
Labantu bonke babuyela enkambeni kuJoshuwa eMakeda ngokuthula; kakho owanyikinya ulimi lwakhe emelana labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
22 I aku la o Iosua, E wehe i ka waha o ke ana, a e lawe mai iwaho io u nei, i ua mau alii la elima, mai ke aua mai.
UJoshuwa wasesithi: Vulani umlomo wobhalu, likhuphele kimi lawomakhosi amahlanu evela ebhalwini.
23 Hana iho la no lakou pela, a lawe mai la i ua mau alii la elima io na la, mai ke ana mai; o ke alii o Ierusalema, a me ke alii o Heberona, a me ke alii o Iaremuta, a me ke alii o Lakisa, a me ke alii o Egelona.
Basebesenza njalo, bawakhuphela kuye lawomakhosi amahlanu evela ebhalwini: Inkosi yeJerusalema, inkosi yeHebroni, inkosi yeJarimuthi, inkosi yeLakishi, inkosi yeEgiloni.
24 A i ka wa i lawe mai ai lakou i ua mau alii nei io Iosua la, alaila, hea aku la o Iosua i kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, i aku la i na alihi o ka poe koa, i hele pu me ia, E neenee mai oukou, a e hehi ko oukou kapuwai maluna o na a-i o keia poe alii. Neenee mai la lakou a hehi aku la ko lakou kapuwai, maluna o ko lakou mau a-i.
Kwasekusithi sebewakhuphele kuJoshuwa lawomakhosi, uJoshuwa wabiza wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli, wathi ezinduneni zamadoda empi ezazihambe laye: Sondelani, libeke inyawo zenu entanyeni zalamakhosi. Zasezisondela, zabeka inyawo zazo entanyeni zawo.
25 I aku la o Iosua ia lakou, Mai makau oukou, aole hoi e weliweli; e ikaika oukou, a e koa hoi, no ka mea, pela no e hana mai ai o Iehova i na euemi a pau a oukou e kaua aku ai.
UJoshuwa wasesithi kuzo: Lingesabi lingatshaywa luvalo; qinani lime isibindi, ngoba iNkosi izakwenza njalo kuzo zonke izitha zenu elilwa limelene lazo.
26 A mahope iho, luku aku la o Iosua ia lakou a pepehi iho la, a kaawe ae la ma na laau elima; a e kaulia ana no lakou ma na laau, a hiki i ke ahiahi.
Emva kwalokho uJoshuwa wasewatshaya wawabulala, wawalengisa ezihlahleni ezinhlanu; njalo ayelenga ezihlahleni kwaze kwahlwa.
27 A hiki i ka manawa i napoo ai ka la, kauoha ae la o Iosua, e kuu ia lakou mailuua iho o na laau, a e kiola ia lakou iloko o ke ana, ma kahi a lakou i pee aku ai; a waiho aku la i na pohaku nui ma ka waha o ke ana, a hiki loa mai i neia la.
Kwasekusithi ngesikhathi sokutshona kwelanga uJoshuwa walaya ukuthi bawethule ezihlahleni, bawaphosele ebhalwini ayecatshe khona; basebefaka amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni wobhalu, akhona kuze kube yilona lolusuku.
28 Ia la no i hoopio ai o Iosua ia Makeda, a luku aku la me ka maka o ka pahikaua, a pepehi aku la i ko laila alii a make loa, o lakou, a me ko laila kanaka a pau, aole ia i waiho i kekahi koena. Hana aku la ia i ko laila alii, e like me ia i hana aku ai i ke alii o Ieriko.
UJoshuwa wathumba layo iMakeda ngalolosuku, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, watshabalalisa lenkosi yayo, bona, layo yonke imiphefumulo eyayikiyo, katshiyanga insali. Wasesenza enkosini yeMakeda njengalokho akwenza enkosini yeJeriko.
29 Hele aku la o Iosua, a me ka Iseraela a pau pu me ia, mai Makeda aku a hiki i Libena, a kaua aku la ia Libena.
UJoshuwa, loIsrayeli wonke laye, wasedlula esuka eMakeda waya eLibhina, walwa emelene leLibhina.
30 Haawi mai no hoi o Iehova ia wahi a me ko laila alii a me ko laila poe kanaka a pau, i ka lima o ka Iseraela, a luku aku la oia ia wahi ma ka maka o ka pahikaua; aole ia i waiho i koena ma ia wahi. Hana aku no hoi ia i ko laila alii e like me ia i hana aku ai i ke alii o Ieriko.
INkosi yasiyinikela layo lenkosi yayo esandleni sikaIsrayeli; waseyitshaya ngobukhali benkemba lemiphefumulo yonke eyayikiyo; katshiyanga insali kiyo; wenza enkosini yayo njengalokho akwenza enkosini yeJeriko.
31 Hele aku la o Iosua, a me ka Iseraela a pau pu me ia mai Libena aku a Lakisa, hoomoana iho la ma ke alo o ia wahi, a kaua aku la.
UJoshuwa wasesedlula esuka eLibhina, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, waya eLakishi, wamisa inkamba maqondana layo, walwa emelene layo.
32 Haawi mai la o Iehova ia Lakisa i ka lima o ka Iseraela, a i ka lua o ka la, hoopio iho la oia ia wahi a luku aku la ia wahi ma ka maka o ka pahikaua, a me na kanaka a pau ma ia wahi, e like me na mea a pau ana i hana aku ai ia Libena.
INkosi yasiyinikela iLakishi esandleni sikaIsrayeli; waseyithumba ngosuku lwesibili, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba layo yonke imiphefumulo eyayikiyo, njengakho konke akwenza eLibhina.
33 Alaila, hele ae la o Horama, ke alii o Gezera, e kokua mamuli o Lakisa. Luku aku la o Iosua ia ia, a me kona kanaka, a pau loa lakou i ka make, aole i koe.
Ngalesosikhathi uHoramu inkosi yeGezeri wenyuka ukusiza iLakishi; kodwa uJoshuwa wamtshaya labantu bakhe, kwaze kwathi kamtshiyelanga insali.
34 Hele aku la o Iosua a me ka Iseraela a pau pu me ia, mai Lakisa aku a Egelona, a hoomoana iho la ma ke alo o ia wahi, a kaua aku la ia ia.
UJoshuwa wasesedlula esuka eLakishi, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, baya eEgiloni, bamisa inkamba maqondana layo, balwa bemelene layo.
35 Hoopio iho la lakou ia wahi ia la no, a luku aku la ia wahi ma ka maka o ka pahikaua, a me ko laila kanaka a pau, luku loa aku la ia, e like me na mea a pau ana i hana aku ai ia Lakisa.
Bayithumba ngalolosuku, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, lemiphefumulo yonke eyayikiyo bayitshabalalisa ngalolosuku, njengakho konke akwenza eLakishi.
36 Hele aku la o Iosua, a me ka Iseraela a pau pu me ia, mai Egelona aku a Heberona, a kaua aku la ia wahi.
UJoshuwa wasesenyuka esuka eEgiloni loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, baya eHebroni, balwa bemelene layo,
37 Hoopio iho la lakou ia wahi, a luku aku la ma ka maka o ka pahikaua, a me ko laila alii, a me ko laila kulanakauhale a pau, a me ko laila kanaka a pau; aole ia i waiho i koena, e like me na mea a pau ana i hana aku ai ia Egelona. Hooki loa iho la oia ia wahi a me ko laila kanaka a pau.
bayithumba, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, lenkosi yayo lemizi yayo yonke lawo wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo; katshiyanga insali, njengakho konke akwenza eEgiloni, wawutshabalalisa lawo wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo.
38 Hoi mai la o Iosua a me ka Iseraela a pau pu me ia, a i Debira, a kaua ae la ia wahi;
UJoshuwa wasebuyela eDebiri loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, balwa bemelene layo,
39 A hoopio iho la, a me ko laila alii, a me ko laila kulanakauhale a pau, a luku aku la ia lakou ma ka maka o ka pahikaua, a hooki loa iho la ia i kanaka a pau o ia wahi, aole i waiho i koena; e like me ia i hana aku ai ia Heberona, pela no ia i hana'i ia Debira, a me kona alii, e like hoi me ia i hana'i ia Libena, a me kona alii.
bayithumba lenkosi yayo layo yonke imizi yayo, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, batshabalalisa wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo; katshiyanga insali. Njengokwenza kwakhe eHebroni wenza njalo eDebiri lenkosini yayo, lanjengokwenza kwakhe eLibhina lenkosini yayo.
40 Luku aku la o Iosua i ka aina mauna a pau, a ma ka lima hema, a ma kahi papu, a ma kahi haahaa, a me ko laila poe alii a pau. Aole ia i waiho i kekahi koena. Hooki loa iho la ia i na mea hanu a pau, e like me ke kauoha ana mai o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
Ngakho uJoshuwa walitshaya ilizwe lonke lezintaba leleningizimu lelesihotsha lelamawatha lawo wonke amakhosi abo; katshiyanga insali, kodwa watshabalalisa konke okuphefumulayo, njengokulaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
41 Luku aku la o Iosua ia lakou, mai Kadesabanea a hiki i Gaza, a me ka aina a pau o Gosena a hiki loa i Gibeona.
UJoshuwa wasebatshaya kusukela eKadeshi-Bhaneya kwaze kwaba seGaza, lelizwe lonke leGosheni, kwaze kwaba seGibeyoni.
