< Jozue 10 >
1 Nzokande, Adoni-Tsedeki, mokonzi ya Yelusalemi, ayokaki ete Jozue abotolaki Ayi mpe abebisaki yango nyonso; asalaki Ayi mpe mokonzi na yango ndenge kaka asalaki Jeriko mpe mokonzi na yango. Ayokaki lisusu ete bavandi ya Gabaoni basalaki boyokani ya kimia elongo na Isalaele mpe bakomaki kovanda kati na bango.
Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
2 Boye, sango oyo epesaki somo na mokonzi ya Yelusalemi elongo na bato na ye, pamba te Gabaoni ezalaki engumba moko ya monene lokola bingumba ya bakonzi; ezalaki monene koleka ata Ayi, mpe mibali na yango nyonso bazalaki bilombe ya bitumba.
That they feared greatly, because Gibeon [was] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [was] greater than Ai, and all the men thereof [were] mighty.
3 Adoni-Tsedeki, mokonzi ya Yelusalemi, atindaki maloba epai ya Oami, mokonzi ya Ebron; epai ya Pireami, mokonzi ya Yarimuti; epai ya Yafia, mokonzi ya Lakishi; mpe epai ya Debiri, mokonzi ya Egiloni.
Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent 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 Alobaki: « Boya epai na ngai mpe bosunga ngai mpo ete tobundisa Gabaoni, pamba te asali boyokani ya kimia elongo na Jozue mpe bana ya Isalaele. »
Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
5 Boye bakonzi mitano ya bato ya Amori: mokonzi ya Yelusalemi, ya Ebron, ya Yarimuti, ya Lakishi mpe ya Egiloni, bakendeki elongo na mampinga na bango nyonso mpo na kozingela Gabaoni mpe kobundisa yango.
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
6 Bato ya Gabaoni batindaki maloba epai ya Jozue kati na molako ya Giligali: « Koboya te kosunga basali na yo, yaka noki epai na biso mpe bikisa biso, pamba te bakonzi nyonso ya bato ya Amori, oyo bavandaka na ngomba, basaleli biso likita. »
And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack 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 mountains are gathered together against us.
7 Jozue amataki wuta na Giligali elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso mpe bilombe nyonso ya bitumba.
So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
8 Yawe alobaki na Jozue: « Kobanga bango te, pamba te nakabi bango na maboko na yo; moko te akokoka kotelema liboso na yo. »
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
9 Sima na kotambola butu mobimba wuta na Giligali, Jozue abimelaki bango na pwasa.
Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, [and] went up from Gilgal all night.
10 Yawe akimisaki bango liboso ya Isalaele, mpe Isalaele akweyisaki bango pene ya Gabaoni. Bana ya Isalaele balandaki bango na nzela oyo ekenda kino na Beti-Oroni mpe babomaki bango kino na Azeka mpe Makeda.
And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
11 Wana bazalaki kokima liboso ya Isalaele mpe kokita na Beti-Oroni, Yawe akitiselaki bango mabanga minene wuta na likolo kino na Azeka, mpe bakufaki. Bato oyo bakufaki na mabanga ya moto bazalaki motango ebele koleka ata bato oyo bana ya Isalaele babomaki na mopanga.
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, [and] were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: [they were] more which died with hailstones than [they] whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
12 Na mokolo oyo Yawe akabaki bato ya Amori na maboko ya bana ya Isalaele, Jozue alobaki na Yawe na miso ya Isalaele: « Moyi, telema na Gabaoni! Sanza, telema na lubwaku ya Ayaloni! »
Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 Boye moyi etelemaki, mpe sanza eninganaki te kino tango ekolo ya Isalaele alongaki banguna na ye kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na buku ya Moto ya Sembo. Moyi etelemaki na kati-kati ya mapata mpe elalaki noki te, pene mokolo mobimba.
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14 Mokolo ya boye etikala nanu kozala te, ezala na tango ya kala to na tango oyo ekoya, mokolo oyo Yawe atosi mongongo ya moto. Solo Yawe azalaki kobundela Isalaele.
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Jozue elongo na Isalaele mobimba bazongaki na molako na Giligali.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
16 Nzokande, bakonzi wana mitano bakimaki mpe bakendeki kobombama kati na lidusu ya mabanga, na Makeda.
But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17 Tango bayebisaki Jozue ete bamoni bakonzi yango mitano babombami kati na lidusu ya mabanga, na Makeda,
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
18 Jozue alobaki: « Bopusa mabanga minene na ekotelo ya lidusu ya mabanga mpe botia bato pene na yango mpo na kobatela yango.
And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
19 Kasi bosuka wana te. Bolanda banguna na bino mpe bokanga bango nzela mpo ete bakota na bingumba na bango te, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akabi bango na maboko na bino. »
And stay ye not, [but] pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
20 Tango Jozue mpe bana ya Isalaele balongaki bango mpe basilisaki koboma bango, ndambo ya bato oyo babikaki bakimaki mpe bakotaki na bingumba oyo etongama makasi.
And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest [which] remained of them entered into fenced cities.
21 Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bazongaki na kimia na molako pene ya Jozue, na Makeda. Moko te alobaki lisusu mabe mpo na bana ya Isalaele.
And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
22 Sima, Jozue alobaki: « Bofungola ekotelo ya lidusu ya mabanga mpe bobimisa bakonzi wana mitano. »
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
23 Boye babimisaki bakonzi wana mitano na libanda ya lidusu ya mabanga: mokonzi ya Yelusalemi, ya Ebron, ya Yarimuti, ya Lakishi mpe ya Egiloni.
And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon.
24 Tango bamemaki bakonzi yango epai ya Jozue, abengisaki mibali nyonso ya Isalaele mpe alobaki na bakonzi ya basoda oyo bazalaki na ye elongo: « Bopusana mpe botia makolo na bino na bakingo ya bakonzi oyo. » Bakonzi ya basoda bapusanaki mpe batiaki makolo na bango na bakingo ya bakonzi yango.
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
25 Jozue alobaki na bango: « Bobanga te mpe bolemba nzoto te. Bozala makasi mpe boyika mpiko, pamba te ezali boye nde Yawe akosala banguna nyonso oyo bokobundisa. »
And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
26 Sima na yango, Jozue abomaki bakonzi yango mpe adiembikaki bango na banzete mitano. Bibembe na bango etikalaki kodiembela na banzete yango kino na pokwa.
And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
27 Tango moyi elalaki, Jozue apesaki mitindo ete bakitisa bibembe yango wuta na banzete mpe babwaka yango kati na lidusu ya mabanga epai wapi babombamaki. Batiaki mabanga minene na ekotelo ya lidusu ya mabanga. Mabanga yango ezali wana kino na mokolo ya lelo.
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 wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave’s mouth, [which remain] until this very day.
28 Kaka na mokolo yango, Jozue abotolaki engumba Makeda. Abomaki na mopanga mokonzi na yango mpe moto nyonso oyo akutaki kuna mpe atikaki ata moto moko te na bomoi. Asalaki mokonzi ya Makeda ndenge kaka asalaki mokonzi ya Jeriko.
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that [were] therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
29 Jozue elongo na bana nyonso ya Isalaele balongwaki na Makeda, bakendeki kino na engumba Libina mpe babundisaki yango.
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
30 Yawe akabaki lisusu engumba mpe mokonzi na yango na maboko ya Isalaele. Jozue abomaki na mopanga, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna; mpe atikaki ata moto moko te na bomoi. Asalaki mokonzi na yango ndenge asalaki mokonzi ya Jeriko.
And the LORD delivered 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; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
31 Jozue elongo na bana nyonso ya Isalaele balongwaki na Libina mpe bakendeki kino na Lakishi. Bazingelaki yango mpe babundisaki yango.
And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
32 Yawe akabaki engumba Lakishi na maboko ya Isalaele, mpe Jozue abotolaki yango, mokolo oyo elandaki. Jozue abomaki na mopanga, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna ndenge kaka asalaki engumba Libina.
And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which 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 Boye, Orami, mokonzi ya Gezeri, amataki mpo na kosunga Lakishi; kasi Jozue abomaki ye na mopanga elongo na bato na ye, atikaki ata moto moko te na bomoi.
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 Jozue elongo na bana nyonso ya Isalaele balongwaki na Lakishi mpe bakendeki kino na engumba Egiloni; bazingelaki yango mpe babundisaki yango.
And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 Babotolaki yango kaka na mokolo wana mpe babomaki na mopanga bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna; babebisaki bango mokolo wana, ndenge kaka basalaki na Lakishi.
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 that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 Jozue mpe Isalaele mobimba balongwaki na Egiloni, bamataki kino na Ebron mpe babundisaki yango.
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
37 Babotolaki engumba yango, babomaki na mopanga bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna elongo na mokonzi na yango. Bazwaki mpe bamboka na yango ya mike-mike mpe babomaki na mopanga, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna. Batikaki ata moto moko te na bomoi, ndenge kaka basalaki na engumba Egiloni. Babebisaki yango nyonso penza mpe babomaki bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna.
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 left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that [were] therein.
38 Jozue elongo na Isalaele mobimba babalukaki na ngambo ya engumba Debiri mpe babundisaki yango.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
39 Babotolaki engumba mpe bamboka na yango ya mike-mike, bakangaki mokonzi na yango mpe babomaki bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna na mopanga. Batikaki ata moto moko te na bomoi. Jozue asalaki engumba Debiri elongo na mokonzi na yango, ndenge kaka asalaki engumba Libina elongo na mokonzi na yango, mpe Ebron elongo na mokonzi na yango.
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 left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
40 Boye, Jozue alongaki etuka wana nyonso: mokili ya bangomba, Negevi, etando ya pembeni-pembeni ya Ebale monene mpe etando ya se ya bangomba elongo na bakonzi na yango nyonso. Atikaki ata moto moko te na bomoi, abebisaki bato nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki na bomoi, ndenge Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apesaki ye mitindo.
So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
41 Jozue alongaki bango wuta na Kadeshi-Barinea kino na Gaza, mpe mokili mobimba ya Gosheni kino na Gabaoni.
And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
42 Jozue alongaki bakonzi wana nyonso na mbala moko mpe abotolaki bamboka na bango, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, azalaki kobundela Isalaele.
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 Sima na yango, Jozue elongo na bana nyonso ya Isalaele bazongaki na molako na Giligali.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
