< 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.
And it came to pass, when Adonizedec, king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and devoted it to destruction, as he had done unto Jericho and her king, so, had he done unto Ai and her king, —and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and had come into their midst,
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.
then feared they 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.
therefore sent Adonizedec, king of Jerusalem, 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 sons 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.
So they gathered themselves together and came up, even 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, —they, and all their hosts, —and encamped near 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. »
So the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not withhold thy hand from thy servants, —Come up unto us quickly, and save us, and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country, are gathered together against us.
7 Jozue amataki wuta na Giligali elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso mpe bilombe nyonso ya bitumba.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, even 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 Yahweh said unto Joshua: Do not fear because of them, for, into thy hand, have I delivered them, —not a man of them shall stand before thee.
9 Sima na kotambola butu mobimba wuta na Giligali, Jozue abimelaki bango na pwasa.
So then Joshua came in unto them, suddenly, —all the night, came he 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 Yahweh confused them before Israel, and smote them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, —and chased them along the way that goeth up Beth-horon, and smote them as far as Azekah and as far as 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, when they fled from before Israel, they, being on the slope of Beth-horon, that, Yahweh, cast down upon them great stones out of the heavens, as far as Azekah, and they died, —more, were they who died by the hailstones, than they whom the sons 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 unto Yahweh, on the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, —yea he said, in the presence of Israel—Thou Sun! in Gibeon, be still, and thou Moon! in the vale of Aijalon.
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.
So the sun, was still, and, the moon, stayed, until a nation should be avenged on its foes. Is not, that, written in the Book of the Upright? So then the sun stayed in the middle of the heavens, and hastened not to go in, 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, when Yahweh hearkened unto the voice of a man, —in that, Yahweh, himself fought for Israel.
15 Jozue elongo na Isalaele mobimba bazongaki na molako na Giligali.
So Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
16 Nzokande, bakonzi wana mitano bakimaki mpe bakendeki kobombama kati na lidusu ya mabanga, na Makeda.
So 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 ye great stones against the mouth of the cave, —and set over it men, to watch 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 do not, ye, stay, chase after your enemies, so shall ye attack them in the rear, —do not suffer them to enter into their cities, for Yahweh 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 sons of Israel had made an end of smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were spent, then did, the remainder that were left of them, enter 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.
And all the people returned unto the camp, unto Joshua at Makkedah, in peace, —none sharpened his tongue at any man of the sons of Israel.
22 Sima, Jozue alobaki: « Bofungola ekotelo ya lidusu ya mabanga mpe bobimisa bakonzi wana mitano. »
Then said Joshua, Open ye the mouth of the cave, —and bring out unto me, these 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 out unto him, these five kings, out of the cave, —namely, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, 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 these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war who had been with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. So 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. »
Then said Joshua unto them: Do not fear, nor be alarmed, —be firm and bold, for, thus and thus, will Yahweh do unto all your enemies, against whom ye do 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 after this, and put them to death, and hanged them upon five trees, —and they remained hung on 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 in of the sun, that Joshua gave command, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave, where they had hid themselves, —and put great stones upon the mouth of the cave, [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 Joshua captured, Makkedah, on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and, the king thereof, devoted he to destruction, them and all the souls that were therein, he left no survivor, —but did unto 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.
And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah 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 Yahweh delivered, it also, into the hand of Israel, with the king thereof, and he smote it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls that were therein, he left therein no survivor, —but did unto the king thereof, 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 passed over, and all Israel with him, 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 Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he captured it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls that were therein, —according to all that he had done unto 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, king of Gezer, to help Lachish, —and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had not left him a survivor.
34 Jozue elongo na bana nyonso ya Isalaele balongwaki na Lakishi mpe bakendeki kino na engumba Egiloni; bazingelaki yango mpe babundisaki yango.
And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, 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 captured it on the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and, all the souls that were therein, on that day, devoted he to destruction, —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, and all Israel with him, 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 captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, with all the souls that were therein—he left not a survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon, —he devoted it to destruction, and all the souls that were therein.
38 Jozue elongo na Isalaele mobimba babalukaki na ngambo ya engumba Debiri mpe babundisaki yango.
Then Joshua turned back, and all Israel with him, unto 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 captured it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and devoted to destruction every soul that was therein, he left not a survivor, —as he had done unto Hebron, so, did he unto Debir, and unto the king thereof, as also he had done unto Libnah, and unto 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 land—the hill country, and the south, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings, he left not a survivor, —but, every breathing thing, devoted he to destruction, as Yahweh, God of Israel, had commanded.
41 Jozue alongaki bango wuta na Kadeshi-Barinea kino na Gaza, mpe mokili mobimba ya Gosheni kino na Gabaoni.
Yea Joshua smote them, from Kadesh-barnea, even as far as Gaza, —and all the land of Goshen, even as far as Gibeon.
42 Jozue alongaki bakonzi wana nyonso na mbala moko mpe abotolaki bamboka na bango, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, azalaki kobundela Isalaele.
Yea, all these kings and their land, did Joshua capture at one time, —because, Yahweh, 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 at Gilgal.
