And he routed them Yahweh before Israel and he struck down them a defeat great at Gibeon and he pursued them [the] direction of [the] ascent of Beth Horon and he struck down them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
11 Mgbe ha si nʼihu Izrel gbapụ ọsọ nʼụzọ nrịda Bet-Horon na-aga Azeka, Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼelu na-atụdakwasị ha ọtụtụ mkpụrụ mmiri. Ọnụọgụgụ ndị mkpụrụ mmiri ndị a dagburu dị ukwuu karịa ndị ụmụ Izrel ji mma agha ha gbuo.
And it was when fled they - from before Israel they [were] at [the] descent of Beth Horon and Yahweh he threw on them stones large from the heavens to Azekah and they died [were] many [those] who they died by [the] stones of the hail more than [those] whom they killed [the] people of Israel with the sword.

Then he spoke Joshua to Yahweh on [the] day delivered up Yahweh the Amorite[s] before [the] people of Israel and he said - to [the] eyes of Israel O sun at Gibeon be still and O moon in [the] valley Aijalon.
13 Anyanwụ guzoro, ọnwa guzokwa. Ha abụọ adaghị tutu ruo mgbe ndị agha mba ahụ gbuchasịrị ndị iro ha. Ihe banyere akụkọ agha a ka e dere nʼakwụkwọ Jasha. Ya mere, anyanwụ guzoro nʼotu ebe nʼetiti mbara eluigwe. Ọ nọkwa nʼotu ebe ihe dịka otu ụbọchị zuru ezu.
And it was still the sun and [the] moon it stood still until it avenged itself on [the] nation enemies its ¿ not [is] it written on [the] scroll of Jashar and it stood still the sun in [the] middle of the heavens and not it hastened to go about a day complete.
14 O nweghị ụbọchị ọzọ dịka ụbọchị ahụ nʼoge niile gara aga. Ọ dịbekwaghị ụbọchị yiri ụbọchị ahụ ruo taa. Ọ bụ ụbọchị Onyenwe anyị mere ka anyanwụ na ọnwa kwụsị, nʼihi naanị ekpere otu nwoke. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-eburu Izrel agha.
And not it has been like the day that before it and after it to listen Yahweh to [the] voice of a man for Yahweh [was] fighting for Israel.
15 Joshua na ndị Izrel niile laghachiri nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu dị na Gilgal.

16 Ma nʼoge ahụ a na-alụ agha ahụ, ndị eze ise ahụ si nʼọgbọ agha gbapụ, zoo onwe ha nʼime ọgba nkume dị na Makeda.
And they fled [the] five the kings these and they hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

And it was told to Joshua saying they have been found [the] five the kings hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
18 Joshua nyere iwu sị, “Werenụ nkume buru ibu mechie ọnụ ọgba nkume ahụ. Debekwanụ ndị nche nʼebe ahụ, ka ha chee ndị eze ahụ nche.
And he said Joshua roll stones large into [the] mouth of the cave and appoint over it men to guard them.
19 Ma unu eguzola nʼebe ahụ nʼonwe unu, chụsonụ ndị iro unu, na-egbukwanụ ha site nʼazụ. Unu ekwela ka ha gbaba nʼobodo ha dị iche iche, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu enyefeela ha nʼaka unu.”
And you may not you delay pursue after enemies your and you will attack in [the] rear them may not you permit them to go into cities their for he has given them Yahweh God your in hand your.
20 Ya mere, Joshua na ndị Izrel tigbuchara ha kpamkpam nʼụzọ dị egwu, ọ bụ naanị mmadụ ole na ole nʼime ha nwere ike gbaba nʼime obodo ha e wusiri ike.
And it was when finished Joshua and [the] people of Israel to strike down them a defeat great very until were finished they and the survivors they survived of them and they went into [the] cities of fortification.

And he said to them Joshua may not you be afraid and may not you be dismayed be strong and be bold for thus he will do Yahweh to all enemies your whom you [are] fighting them.
26 Emesịa, Joshua ji mma agha ya gbuo eze ise ndị a. Ọ kwụbara ha nʼelu osisi ise, ebe ha nọ ruo nʼoge anyasị.
