< 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, the king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured 'Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; [that] as he had done to Jericho and its king, so had he done to 'Ai and its king; and that the inhabitants of Gib'on had made peace with Israel, and were in the midst of 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 were greatly afraid; because Gib'on was a great city, like 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.
Therefore Adoni-zedek the king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham the king of Hebron, and unto Piram the king of Yarmuth, and unto Yaphia', the king of Lachish, and unto Debir the 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 Gib'on; 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.
And the five kings of the Emorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Yarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of 'Eglon, assembled themselves together, and went up, they and all their camps, and encamped before Gib'on, 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 Gib'on sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Do not withdraw thy hand from thy servants: come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Emorites that dwell in the mountains are assembled together against us.
7 Jozue amataki wuta na Giligali elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso mpe bilombe nyonso ya bitumba.
And Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
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, Be not afraid of them; for into thy hand have I delivered them: there shall not stand a man of them before thee.
9 Sima na kotambola butu mobimba wuta na Giligali, Jozue abimelaki bango na pwasa.
And Joshua came unto them suddenly; the whole night he went up from Gilgal.
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 brought them in confusion before Israel, and they smote them with a great slaughter at Gib'on, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Beth-choron, and smote them up to 'Azekah, and up to 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, while they were in the declivity of Beth-choron, that the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven, up to 'Azekah, and they died: there were more who died by means of the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel had slain 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 spoke Joshua to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered up the Emorites before the children of Israel, and he said before the eyes of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gib'on; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ayalon.
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 Yashar? And the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and hastened 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 the cave at Makkedah.
17 Tango bayebisaki Jozue ete bamoni bakonzi yango mitano babombami kati na lidusu ya mabanga, na Makeda,
And it was told to Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found hidden in the 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 to the mouth of the cave, and set men over it to guard 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. »
But you, do ye not stay, 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 smiting them with a very great defeat, till they were all spent, and those that escaped had fled from them and entered into the fortified 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.
That all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: no one pointed against any man of the children of Israel his tongue.
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 unto me those five kings 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 unto him those five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Yarmuth, the king of Lachish, 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 chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon their necks.
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 disheartened, be strong and of good courage; for thus will the Lord do unto 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 Joshua smote them afterward, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees; and they remained 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 from the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hidden; and they placed great stones upon the mouth of the cave, [which remain] even 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 Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king he devoted, them, and all the souls that were therein; he left none that escaped; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done 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 did Joshua, and all Israel with him, pass from Makkedah unto Libnah; and he 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 into the hand of Israel, with its king; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he left none in it that escaped; and he did unto its king as he had done 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, and all Israel with him, passed from Libnah 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; and he captured it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein: just as 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 came up Horam the king of Gezer to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none that escaped.
34 Jozue elongo na bana nyonso ya Isalaele balongwaki na Lakishi mpe bakendeki kino na engumba Egiloni; bazingelaki yango mpe babundisaki yango.
And Joshua and all Israel with him passed from Lachish unto 'Eglon; 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 captured it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were therein he devoted on that day: just as he had done to Lachish.
36 Jozue mpe Isalaele mobimba balongwaki na Egiloni, bamataki kino na Ebron mpe babundisaki yango.
And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from 'Eglon 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 captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and all the souls that were therein; he left none that escaped, just as he had done to 'Eglon; and he devoted it, and all the souls that were therein.
38 Jozue elongo na Isalaele mobimba babalukaki na ngambo ya engumba Debiri mpe babundisaki yango.
And Joshua and all Israel with him returned 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 captured it, and its king, and all its cities; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and devoted all the souls that were therein; he left none that escaped: as he had done to Hebron, so did he to Debir and to its king; and as he had done to Libnah and to its 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.
And Joshua smote all the country, the mountain, and the south, and the lowlands, and the declivities, and all their kings; he left none that escaped; and all that breathed he utterly destroyed, as the Lord, the God of Israel had 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 Gazzah, and all the country of Goshen, even up to Gib'on.
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 capture at one time; because the Lord, the 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.
