< Yosua 10 >

1 Adoni-Zedek, raja Yerusalem, mendengar bahwa Yosua sudah merebut dan menghancurkan sama sekali kota Ai, serta membunuh rajanya seperti yang telah dilakukannya terhadap Yerikho dan rajanya. Ia mendengar juga bahwa orang Gibeon sudah mengadakan perjanjian persahabatan dengan orang-orang Israel dan tinggal di tengah-tengah mereka.
And it came to pass when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it, that he had done to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them,
2 Penduduk Yerusalem takut sekali, sebab Gibeon adalah kota yang besar; sama besarnya dengan kota-kota yang mempunyai raja, bahkan lebih besar dari Ai. Orang-orangnya pun pejuang-pejuang yang pandai bertempur.
that they feared greatly; for Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
3 Sebab itu Adoni-Zedek mengutus orang kepada Raja Hoham di Hebron, Raja Piream di Yarmut, Raja Yafia di Lakhis, dan Raja Debir di Eglon, dengan membawa pesan ini,
And Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piream king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
4 "Marilah membantu saya menyerang Gibeon, sebab orang-orangnya sudah mengadakan perjanjian persahabatan dengan Yosua dan orang Israel."
Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
5 Maka kelima raja Amori itu, yaitu raja Yerusalem, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakhis dan Eglon bergabung, lalu dengan seluruh tentara mereka, mereka mengepung dan menyerang Gibeon.
And the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their armies, and they encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
6 Orang-orang Gibeon mengirim berita ini kepada Yosua di perkemahan di Gilgal, "Jangan biarkan kami sendirian, Tuan! Datanglah segera membantu kami, sebab tentara dari semua raja Amori di daerah pegunungan sudah bergabung melawan kami!"
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Withdraw not thy hand from thy servants: come up to us quickly, and save us and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered against us.
7 Lalu Yosua dan seluruh tentaranya, termasuk pasukan-pasukannya yang terbaik, berangkat dari Gilgal untuk berperang.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, even all the valiant men.
8 TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, "Jangan takut kepada mereka. Kemenangan sudah Kuberikan kepadamu, oleh sebab itu tidak seorang pun dari mereka dapat bertahan melawanmu."
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear them not; for into thy hand have I given them: not a man of them shall stand before thee.
9 Semalam-malaman Yosua dengan pasukannya bergerak dari Gilgal ke Gibeon, lalu menyerang orang-orang Amori secara mendadak.
And Joshua came upon them suddenly; he went up from Gilgal all night.
10 TUHAN membuat orang-orang Amori menjadi panik ketika melihat tentara Israel. Banyak orang Amori dibunuh di Gibeon, dan yang masih hidup dikejar menuruni lereng gunung di Bet-Horon sampai sejauh Azeka dan Makeda di sebelah selatan.
And Jehovah discomfited them before Israel, and smote them [with] a great slaughter at Gibeon; and he chased them on the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them up to Azekah and Makkedah.
11 Pada waktu orang-orang Amori sedang menuruni lereng gunung itu karena melarikan diri dari tentara Israel, TUHAN menjatuhkan hujan es yang besar-besar dari langit ke atas mereka sepanjang jalan sampai di Azeka. Yang mati ditimpa hujan es itu jauh lebih banyak dari yang dibunuh oleh orang Israel.
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, — they were at the descent of Beth-horon, — that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them up to Azekah, and they died. They were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel had slain with the sword.
12 Pada hari itu ketika TUHAN memberikan kemenangan kepada orang Israel terhadap orang Amori, Yosua berbicara kepada TUHAN. Dan di hadapan orang Israel, Yosua berkata, "Hai matahari! Berhentilah di atas Gibeon. Dan kau bulan! Janganlah berpindah dari atas Lembah Ayalon."
Then spoke Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah gave up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; And thou, moon, in the valley of Ajalon!
13 Maka matahari berhenti dan bulan tidak berpindah sampai orang Israel selesai mengalahkan musuh-musuhnya. Peristiwa ini tertulis dalam Buku Yasar. Sehari penuh matahari berhenti di tengah-tengah langit, dan lama sekali baru terbenam.
And the sun stood still, and the moon remained where it was, until the nation had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? And the sun remained standing in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a full day.
14 Tidak pernah terjadi dan juga tidak akan terjadi suatu hari seperti hari itu, bahwa TUHAN mengikuti keinginan manusia. TUHAN berperang di pihak Israel!
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened to the voice of a man; for Jehovah fought for Israel.
15 Sesudah pertempuran itu, Yosua bersama-sama dengan tentaranya kembali ke perkemahan di Gilgal.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal.
16 Tetapi kelima raja Amori itu lolos dan bersembunyi dalam sebuah gua di Makeda.
And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Orang melihat mereka, dan memberitahukan tempat persembunyian mereka kepada Yosua.
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found, hid in the cave at Makkedah.
18 "Gulingkan batu-batu besar ke mulut gua itu, dan tempatkan pengawal di situ," kata Yosua,
And Joshua said, Roll great stones before the mouth of the cave, and set men before it to keep them.
19 "tetapi kalian jangan berhenti di situ. Kejarlah terus, dan seranglah mereka dari belakang; jangan biarkan mereka masuk ke kota-kota mereka! TUHAN Allahmu sudah memberikan kemenangan kepadamu atas mereka."
And ye, stay not, pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities; for Jehovah your God has given them into your hand.
20 Yosua dan orang Israel membunuh orang-orang Amori itu, tetapi ada juga di antara mereka yang lari ke kota mereka mencari perlindungan, sehingga tidak terbunuh.
And it came to pass when Joshua and the children of Israel had ended smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, that the remnant which remained of them entered into fortified cities;
21 Kemudian semua tentara Yosua kembali dengan selamat kepada Yosua di perkemahan di Makeda. Tidak seorang pun di negeri itu berani mengatakan apa-apa menentang orang Israel.
and all the people returned to the camp to Joshua, at Makkedah, in peace; none moved his tongue against the children of Israel.
22 Sesudah itu Yosua berkata, "Sekarang buka mulut gua itu dan bawa kemari kelima orang raja itu."
And Joshua said, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me those five kings out of the cave.
23 Gua itu pun dibuka, lalu raja-raja Yerusalem, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakhis dan Eglon digiring keluar,
And they did so, and brought forth to him those five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
24 dan dibawa kepada Yosua. Lalu Yosua memanggil semua orang Israel berkumpul, kemudian memerintahkan supaya para perwira yang ikut bertempur dengan dia datang menginjak batang leher raja-raja itu. Para perwira itu pun datang dan menginjak batang leher raja-raja itu.
And it came to pass when they had brought forth those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called to all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, Come forward, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came forward and put their feet on their necks.
25 Sesudah itu, Yosua berkata kepada para perwiranya, "Jangan cemas dan jangan takut. Hendaklah kalian yakin dan berani, sebab beginilah caranya TUHAN akan memperlakukan semua musuhmu."
And Joshua said to them, Fear not, neither be dismayed; be strong and courageous, for thus will Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
26 Lalu Yosua membunuh raja-raja itu dan menggantung mereka pada lima tonggak. Mayat mereka dibiarkan di situ sampai sore.
And afterwards Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees; and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
27 Pada waktu matahari terbenam, atas perintah Yosua, mayat-mayat itu diturunkan lalu dilemparkan ke dalam gua yang tadinya dipakai oleh raja-raja itu untuk tempat bersembunyi. Kemudian batu besar-besar ditempatkan di mulut gua itu. Sampai sekarang batu-batu itu masih di situ.
And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave where they had been hid, and laid great stones before the cave's mouth, [which remain] to this very day.
28 Hari itu Yosua menyerang Makeda, dan mengalahkan kota itu serta rajanya. Seluruh penduduk kota itu dibunuhnya; tidak seorang pun dibiarkan hidup. Yosua memperlakukan raja Makeda sama seperti ia memperlakukan raja Yerikho.
And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, him and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed; he let none remain; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Sesudah itu, Yosua dengan tentaranya bergerak terus dari Makeda ke Libna dan menyerang Libna.
And Joshua passed, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
30 TUHAN memberi juga kemenangan kepada orang Israel atas kota ini dan rajanya. Tidak seorang pun yang dibiarkan hidup; semua orang di dalam kota itu dibunuh. Yosua memperlakukan raja kota itu seperti ia memperlakukan raja Yerikho.
And Jehovah gave it also and the king thereof into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it: and he did to the king thereof as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Kemudian Yosua dan tentaranya maju dari Libna ke Lakhis. Mereka mengepung kota itu lalu menyerbunya.
And Joshua passed, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
32 TUHAN memberikan kepada orang Israel kemenangan atas Lakhis dalam pertempuran pada hari kedua. Apa yang mereka lakukan di Libna, mereka lakukan juga di Lakhis; tidak seorang pun yang dibiarkan hidup, semuanya dibunuh.
And Jehovah gave Lachish into the hand of Israel; and they took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 Horam, raja Gezer datang membantu Lakhis, tetapi Yosua mengalahkan dia dan tentaranya; tidak seorang pun yang tertinggal, semuanya mati.
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34 Berikutnya, Yosua dengan tentaranya maju dari Lakhis ke Eglon lalu mengepung dan menyerang kota itu.
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, passed from Lachish to Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it.
35 Pada hari itu juga mereka merebut Eglon, dan membunuh semua orang di situ seperti yang mereka lakukan di Lakhis.
And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed on that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 Dari Eglon, Yosua dan tentaranya mendaki pegunungan dan pergi ke kota Hebron, lalu menyerang
And Joshua went up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron; and they fought against it.
37 dan merebut kota itu. Rajanya dan setiap orang di kota itu dan di kota-kota lain di sekitar situ, semua dibunuh. Yosua menghancurkan sama sekali kota itu seperti yang dilakukannya pada kota Eglon. Tidak seorang pun yang dibiarkan hidup di situ.
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein: he let none remain, according to all that he had done to Eglon; and he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein.
38 Setelah itu, Yosua dan tentaranya kembali dan menyerang Debir.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it.
39 Kota itu dan rajanya serta semua kota lain di sekitar situ direbut oleh Yosua. Semua orang di situ dibunuh. Yosua memperlakukan Debir dan rajanya seperti ia memperlakukan Hebron dan Libna serta rajanya.
And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: as he had done to Hebron, and as he had done to Libnah, and to the king thereof, so he did to Debir and to the king thereof.
40 Seluruh negeri itu ditaklukkan oleh Yosua. Ia mengalahkan raja-raja di daerah pegunungan, di lereng-lereng bukit sebelah timur, di kaki-kaki gunung sebelah barat, dan di padang-padang sebelah selatan. Tidak seorang pun yang dibiarkannya hidup; semuanya dibunuh. Itu sesuai dengan perintah dari TUHAN, Allah Israel.
And Joshua smote the whole country, the mountain, and the south, and the lowland, and the hill-slopes, and all their kings: he let none remain, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded.
41 Yosua mengalahkan daerah-daerah dari Kades-Barnea di sebelah selatan sampai ke Gaza di dekat daerah pesisir, termasuk seluruh daerah Gosyen, terus sampai ke Gibeon di utara.
And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even to Gazah, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon;
42 Dalam hanya satu kali bertempur, Yosua mengalahkan semua raja itu dan merebut daerah-daerah kekuasaan mereka, karena TUHAN, Allah Israel, bertempur untuk Israel.
and all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time; for Jehovah the God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 Sesudah itu, Yosua kembali dengan tentaranya ke perkemahan di Gilgal.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp, to Gilgal.
