Yoswa 10
1 Adonizedeki kabaka wa Yerusaalemi bwe yawulira nga Yoswa awambye Ayi era ng’akizikiririzza ddala nga bwe yakola Yeriko ne kabaka waayo, era bwe yawulira nti abantu b’omu Gibyoni bakoze endagaano y’emirembe n’Abayisirayiri era nga kaakano babeera nabo,
And it cometh to pass, when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heareth that Joshua hath captured Ai, and doth devote it (as he had done to Jericho and to her king so he hath done to Ai and to her king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon have made peace with Israel, and are in their midst, —
2 Adonizedeki n’atya nnyo kubanga Gibyoni kyali kibuga gagadde ng’ebibuga bya bakabaka bwe byali, nga kisingira ddala Ayi ate nga n’abasajja baamu bakirimaanyi.
that they are greatly afraid, because Gibeon [is] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [is] greater than Ai, and all its men — heroes.
3 Bw’atyo Adonizedeki kabaka wa Yerusaalemi n’atumira bakabaka bano: Kokamu ow’e Kebbulooni, ne Piramu ow’e Yalamusi, ne Yafiya ow’e Lakisi ne Debiri ow’e Eguloni n’abagamba nti,
And Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sendeth 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 “Mujje munziruukirire tuzikirize ekibuga Gibyoni kubanga abantu baamu bakoze endagaano y’emirembe ne Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri.”
'Come up unto me, and help me, and we smite Gibeon, for it hath made peace with Joshua, and with the sons of Israel.'
5 Bwe batyo bakabaka abataano Abamoli, n’ow’e Yerusaalemi, n’ow’e Kebbulooni, n’ow’e Yalamusi, n’ow’e Lakisi n’owe Eguloni ne beekobaana ne bayungula amaggye gaabwe ne bagakuluumulula ne balumba Gibyoni.
And five kings of the Amorite (the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon) are gathered together, and go up, they and all their camps, and encamp against Gibeon, and fight against it.
6 Abasajja b’omu Gibyoni ne batumira Yoswa mu lusiisira e Girugaali ne bamugamba nti, “Totulekulira basajja bo, yanguwako otudduukirire kubanga bakabaka bonna Abamoli ababeera eyo mu gasozi beekobaanye okututabaala.”
And the men of Gibeon send unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, saying, 'Let not thy hand cease from thy servants; come up unto us [with] haste, and give safety to us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorite, dwelling in the hill-country, have been assembled against us.'
7 Bw’atyo Yoswa n’ava e Girugaali n’abasajja be abalwanyi ba nnamige.
And Joshua goeth up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, even all the mighty men of valour.
8 Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Tobatya kubanga bonna mbagabudde mu mukono gwo, teri n’omu ku bo anaalama.”
And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'Be not afraid of them, for into thy hand I have given them, there doth not stand a man of them in thy presence.'
9 Yoswa n’abasajja be ne bakeesa obudde nga batambula okuva e Girugaali ne balyoka bagwa ku b’Amoli ekiyiifuyiifu.
And Joshua cometh in unto them suddenly (all the night he hath gone up from Gilgal),
10 Mukama n’abaleetera okutya mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri ne babatta olutta lunene nnyo e Gibyoni ne babafubutula okubambusa e Besukolooni, ne bagenda nga babatta okuyitira ddala e Azeka okutuuka e Makkeda.
and Jehovah doth crush them before Israel, and it smiteth them — a great smiting — at Gibeon, and pursueth them the way of the ascent of Beth-Horon, and smiteth them unto Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
11 Bwe baali badduka Abayisirayiri nga bavuunuka Besukolooni, Mukama n’abasuulako amayinja amanene ag’omuzira okutuukira ddala mu Azeka; abaafa omuzira ne baba bangi okusinga n’abattibwa Abayisirayiri.
And it cometh to pass, in their fleeing from the face of Israel — they [are] in the descent of Beth-Horon — and Jehovah hath cast upon them great stones out of the heavens, unto Azekah, and they die; more are they who have died by the hailstones than they whom the sons of Israel have slain by the sword.
12 Yoswa n’agamba Mukama ku lunaku olwo Abayisirayiri lwe battirako Abamoli, nga n’Abayisirayiri bonna bawulira nti, “Ggwe enjuba, yimirira butengerera waggulu wa Gibyoni, naawe omwezi kola bw’otyo waggulu w’ekiwonvu Ayalooni.”
Then speaketh Joshua to Jehovah in the day of Jehovah's giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he saith, before the eyes of Israel, 'Sun — in Gibeon stand still; and moon — in the valley of Ajalon;'
13 Enjuba n’omwezi ne bikola nga bwe babiragidde okutuusa Abayisirayiri lwe baamala okuseseggula abalabe baabwe. Bino byonna byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya Yasali. Enjuba n’eyimirira butengerera ku ggulu n’eteva mu kifo okumala olunaku lulamba.
and the sun standeth still, and the moon hath stood — till the nation taketh vengeance [on] its enemies; is it not written on the Book of the Upright, 'and the sun standeth in the midst of the heavens, and hath not hasted to go in — as a perfect day?'
14 Tewali lunaku lwali lubadde nga luno, Mukama okuwulira omuntu obwenkaniddaawo; Mukama yalwanirira nnyo Isirayiri.
And there hath not been like that day before it or after it, for Jehovah's hearkening to the voice of a man; for Jehovah is fighting for Israel.
15 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri ne bakomawo ne basiisira e Girugaali.
And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
16 Bakabaka bali abataano ne badduka ne beekukuma mu mpuku e Makkeda.
And these five kings flee, and are hidden in a cave at Makkedah,
17 Ne bagamba Yoswa nti, “Bakabaka abataano bazuuliddwa, beekwese mu mpuku.”
and it is declared to Joshua, saying, 'The five kings have been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah.'
18 Yoswa n’alagira nti, “Muyiringise agayinja aganene mugateeke ku mumwa gw’empuku era mufuneeyo n’abasajja bagikuume;
And Joshua saith, 'Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and appoint over it men to watch them;
19 naye mmwe abalwanyi temubeerawo wabula mugobe abalabe bammwe, temubaganya kuyingira mu bibuga byabwe, kubanga ebyo Mukama Katonda wammwe abibawadde.”
and ye, stand not, pursue after your enemies, and ye have smitten the hindmost of them; suffer them not to go in unto their cities, for Jehovah your God hath given them into your hand.'
20 Awo Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bwe baamala okutta abalabe baabwe olutta ssinziggu olubamalirawo ddala, abo abaali basigaddewo baddukira mu bibuga ebiriko ebigo,
And it cometh to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel finish to smite them — a very great smiting, till they are consumed, and the remnant who have remained of them go in unto the fenced cities,
21 olwo abantu bonna ne bakomawo mirembe eri Yoswa mu lusiisira e Girugaali. Teri muntu yaddayo kwogerera Bayisirayiri mafuukuule.
that all the people turn back to the camp, unto Joshua, [at] Makkedah, in peace; none moved sharply his tongue against the sons of Israel.
22 Oluvannyuma Yoswa n’abagamba nti, “Mugguleewo omumwa gw’empuku mundeetere bakabaka abo abataano.”
And Joshua saith, 'Open ye the mouth of the cave, and bring out unto me these five kings from the cave;'
23 Ne bakola nga bwalagidde ne bamuleetera kabaka w’e Yerusaalemi, n’ow’e Kebbulooni, n’ow’e Yalamusi, n’ow’e Lakisi n’ow’e Eguloni.
and they do so, and bring out unto him these five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
24 Bwe baabamuleetera, Yoswa n’akoowoola Abayisirayiri bonna, n’alagira abaduumizi b’eggye abaali naye nti, “Musembere wano kumpi, mulinnye ku nsingo za bakabaka bano.” Nabo ne basembera kumpi ne bakola nga bw’abalagidde.
And it cometh to pass, when they bring out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua calleth unto every man of Israel, and saith unto the captains of the men of war, who have gone with him, 'Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings;' and they draw near, and set their feet on their necks.
25 Yoswa n’abagamba nti, “Temutya wadde okuterebuka, mube n’amaanyi era n’obuvumu kubanga eno y’engeri Mukama gy’anaakola abalabe bammwe be mulwana nabo.”
And Joshua saith unto them, 'Fear not, nor be affrighted; be strong and courageous; for thus doth Jehovah do to all your enemies with whom ye are fighting;'
26 Yoswa bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’addira bakabaka bali n’abatta, emirambo gyabwe n’agiwanika buli gumu ku muti okutuusiza ddala akawungeezi.
and Joshua smiteth them afterwards, and putteth them to death, and hangeth them on five trees; and they are hanging on the trees till the evening.
27 Enjuba bwe yamala okugwa Yoswa n’alagira emirambo ne giwanulwa ku miti ne gisuulibwa mu mpuku bakabaka bano mwe basooka okwekukuma, ne bayiringisa agayinja aganene ne bagasaanikira ku mumwa gw’empuku n’okutuusa kaakano amayinja ago gakyaliko.
And it cometh to pass, at the time of the going in of the sun, Joshua hath commanded, and they take them down from off the trees, and cast them unto the cave where they had been hid, and put great stones on the mouth of the cave till this very day.
28 Ku lunaku olwo Yoswa n’alumba Makkeda n’akizikiriza ne kabaka waayo n’amuttisa obwogi bw’ekitala, abaayo bonna n’abazikiriza, kye yakola kabaka w’e Yeriko era kye yakola n’ow’e Makkeda.
And Makkedah hath Joshua captured on that day, and he smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and its king he hath devoted, them and every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant; and he doth to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.
29 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bava e Makkeda, ne bagenda e Libuna ne bakizinda,
And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah [to] Libnah, and fighteth with Libnah;
30 era nakyo Mukama n’akibawanguza, n’atta abaakirimu bonna n’obwogi bw’ekitala, tewali n’omu gwe yalekawo. Kye yakola kabaka we Yeriko era kye yakola n’ow’e Libuna.
and Jehovah giveth also it into the hand of Israel, and its king, and it smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it — it left not in it a remnant; and it doth to its king as it did to the king of Jericho.
31 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri ne bava e Libuna ne bazinda Lakisi, ne bakyetooloola ne bakikuba.
And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encampeth against it, and fighteth against it;
32 Ku lunaku olwokubiri Mukama n’akibawanguza, ne bazikiriza n’ekitala buli muntu yenna eyakirimu era nga bwe baakola e Libuna.
And Jehovah giveth Lachish into the hand of Israel, and it captureth it on the second day, and smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it, according to all that it did to Libnah.
33 Kolamu kabaka w’e Gezeri n’agezaako okudduukirira Lakisi oyo naye Yoswa n’amutta era n’atalekaawo yadde n’omu ku bantu be.
Than hath Horam king of Gezer come up to help Lachish, and Joshua smiteth him and his people, till he hath not left to him a remnant.
34 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna bwe baava e Lakisi ne bagenda e Eguloni, ne bakyetooloola kyonna ne bakikuba.
And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish to Eglon, and they encamp against it, and fight against it,
35 Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini ne bazikiriza n’obwogi bw’ekitala buli eyakirimu nga bwe baakola Lakisi.
and capture it on that day, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it on that day he hath devoted, according to all that he did to Lachish.
36 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bava mu Eguloni ne bazinda Kebbulooni,
And Joshua goeth up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron, and they fight against it,
37 ne bakikuba; ne bazikiriza n’ekitala abantu baayo bonna era ne kabaka waabwe n’obubuga bwamu bwonna nga bwe baakola mu Eguloni.
and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant — according to all that he did to Eglon — and doth devote it, and every person who [is] in it.
38 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ate ne bawetamu ne baddayo e Debiri ne bakikuba.
And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fighteth against it,
39 Ne bakiwamba ne bazikiriza n’ekitala kabaka waakyo n’abantu baakyo bonna n’obubuga bwakyo bwonna, era nga bwe baakola e Kebbulooni ne Libuna bwe baakola ne Debiri.
and captureth it, and its king, and all its cities, and they smite them by the mouth of the sword, and devote every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant; as he did to Hebron so he did to Debir, and to its king, and as he did to Libnah, and to its king.
40 Bw’atyo Yoswa n’awangula ensi eyo yonna ey’agasozi, n’ebiwonvu, n’ensenyi ne bakabaka baayo bonna, tewali kiramu na kimu kye yaleka nga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri bwe yamulagira.
And Joshua smiteth all the land of the hill-country, and of the south, and of the low-country, and of the springs, and all their kings — he hath not left a remnant, and all that doth breathe he hath devoted, as Jehovah, God of Israel, commanded.
41 Yoswa n’awangulira ddala okuva e Kadesubanea okutuuka e Gaaza mu nsi yonna ey’e Goseni okutuukira ddala e Gibyoni.
And Joshua smiteth them from Kadesh-Barnea, even unto Gaza, and all the land of Goshen, even unto Gibeon;
42 N’awamba bakabaka bano bonna n’ensi zaabwe mu lulumba lumu lwokka kubanga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri yalwanirira Isirayiri.
and all these kings and their land hath Joshua captured [at] one time, for Jehovah, God of Israel, is fighting for Israel.
43 Awo Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bakomawo mu lusiisira e Girugaali.
and Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
