Josoa 10
1 Ary rehefa ren’ i Adoni-zedeka, mpanjakan’ i Jerosalema, fa afak’ i Josoa Ay ka noravany (fa araka izay nataony tamin’ i Jeriko sy ny mpanjakany no nataony tamin’ Ay sy ny mpanjakany), sady nanao fihavanana tamin’ ny Isiraely ny mponina tany Gibeona ka tomoetra eo aminy,
Now Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction —doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king—and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.
2 dia raiki-tahotra indrindra izy, satria tanàna lehibe Gibeona tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ny tanàna misy andriana, sady lehibe noho Ay, ary nahery ny lehilahy rehetra teo.
So Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly alarmed, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
3 Dia naniraka olona Adoni-zedeka, mpanjakan’ i Jerosalema, ho any amin’ i Hohama mpanjakan’ i Hebrona, sy Pirama, mpanjakan’ i Jarmota, sy Jafia, mpanjakan’ i Lakisy, ary Debira, mpanjakan’ i Eglona, ka nanao hoe:
Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
4 Miakara atỳ amiko, ka manampia ahy, hamelezantsika an’ i Gibeona; fa efa nanao fihavanana tamin’ i Josoa sy ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy.
“Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
5 Dia niangona ireo mpanjaka dimy tamin’ ny Amorita ireo, dia ny mpanjakan’ i Jerosalema, ny mpanjakan’ i Hebrona, ny mpanjakan’ i Jarmota, ny mpanjakan’ i Lakisy, ary ny mpanjakan’ i Eglona, ka niakatra izy sy ny miaramilany rehetra, ary nitoby tandrifin’ i Gibeona ka namely azy.
So the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
6 Ary ny mponina tao Gibeona dia naniraka olona ho any amin’ i Josoa teo an-toby tany Gilgala hanao hoe: Aza mampiketraka ny tananao tsy hamonjy ny mpanomponao; miakara faingana ho atỳ aminay, ary vonjeo sy ampio izahay; fa miangona hamely anay ny mpanjaka rehetra amin’ ny Amorita izay monina any amin’ ny tany havoana.
Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
7 Dia niakatra niala tany Gilgala Josoa sy ny mpanafika rehetra teo aminy, dia ny lehilahy mahery rehetra.
So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
8 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa: Aza matahotra azy, fa efa natolotra eo an-tananao izy, ka tsy hisy hahajanona eo anoloanao izy na dia iray akory aza.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not one of them shall stand against you.”
9 Ary tonga tampoka tamin’ ireo Josoa; fa nanao lava alina-avy tany Gilgala izy.
After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
10 Ary Jehovah nampifanaritaka ireo teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely; ary namely ireo tany Gibeona izy ka nahafaty maro be, sady nanenjika azy tamin’ ny fiakarana mankany Beti-horona izy ka namely azy hatrany Azeka ka hatrany Makeda.
And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
11 Ary nony nandositra teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely teo am-pidinan’ i Beti-horona izy, Jehovah dia nandatsaka havandra vaventy taminy avy tany an-danitra hatrany Azeka ka nahafaty azy; ary be lavitra ny matin’ ny havandra noho izay novonoin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny sabatra.
As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
12 Ary tamin’ izany Josoa dia niteny tamin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andro nanoloran’ i Jehovah ny Amorita teo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao teo imason’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Ry masoandro, mijanòna eo ambonin’ i Gibeona; Ary, ianao kosa, ry volana, any an-dohasahan’ i Aialona.
On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
13 Dia nijanona ny masoandro, ary nijanona koa ny volana, Mandra-pamalin’ ny olona ny fahavalony. Tsy efa voasoratra eo amin’ ny Bokin’ i Jasara va izany? Dia nijanona teo afovoan’ ny lanitra ny masoandro ka tsy nandroso hilentika tokony ho indray andro maninjitra.
So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
14 Ary tsy nisy andro tahaka izany, na tany alohany, na tato aoriany, izay nihainoan’ i Jehovah ny feon’ olona; fa Jehovah niady ho an’ ny Isiraely.
There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Ary Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra dia niverina nankany an-toby tany Gilgala.
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Ary nandositra ny mpanjaka dimy ka niery tao anatin’ ilay zohy any Makeda.
Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Dia nolazaina tamin’ i Josoa hoe: Indreo, miery ao anatin’ ilay zohy any Makeda ny mpanjaka dimy.
And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
18 Ary hoy Josoa: Manakodiava vato lehibe hatampina ny vavan’ ny zohy, ary asio olona eo anoloany hiambina azy;
So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
19 fa ianareo aza mijanona, fa manenjeha ny fahavalonareo, ka mameleza ny vodi-lalana; aza avela ho tafiditra any an-tanànany ireny, fa efa natolotr’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo eo an-tananareo.
But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
20 Ary rehefa voaringan’ i Josoa sy ny Zanak’ Isiraely mihitsy ireny mandra-pahalany ritrany, ka izay afa-nandositra no lasa niditra tany amin’ ny tanàna mimanda,
So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
21 dia niverina soa aman-tsara ho any amin’ i Josoa teo an-toby tany Makeda ny vahoaka rehetra; ary tsy nisy sahy nanao vava ratsy tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely intsony.
The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
22 Dia hoy Josoa: Sokafy ny vavan’ ny zohy, ka avoahy ao an-johy ireo mpanjaka dimy ireo hankatỳ amiko.
Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
23 Dia nataon’ ny olona izany, ka namoaka ireo mpanjaka dimy ireo avy tao an-johy izy ho eo aminy, dia ny mpanjakan’ i Jerosalema, ny mpanjakan’ i Hebrona, ny mpanjakan’ i Jarmota, ny mpanjakan’ i Lakisy, ary ny mpanjakan’ i Eglona.
So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24 Ary rehefa navoaka ireo mpanjaka ireo ka nentina ho eo amin’ i Josoa, dia niantso ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely Josoa ka nanao tamin’ ny mpitarika ny mpiady izay teo aminy hoe: Manatona, ka ataovy eo amin’ ny vozon’ ireto mpanjaka ireto ny tongotrareo. Dia nanatona izy ka nanao ny tongony teo amin’ ny vozon’ ireo.
When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
25 Ary hoy Josoa taminy: Aza matahotra na mivadi-po; mahereza sy matanjaha; fa toy izao no hataon’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fahavalonareo rehetra izay iadianareo.
“Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”
26 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia namely ireo Josoa ka nahafaty azy, ary nahantony tamin’ ny hazo dimy ny fatiny; ka dia nihantona tamin’ ny hazo izy mandra-paharivan’ ny andro.
After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
27 Ary tamin’ ny nilentehan’ ny masoandro dia nasain’ i Josoa nesorina tamin’ ny hazo izy ireo ka nariana tao anatin’ ilay zohy niereny, ary nasiana vato lehibe teo amin’ ny vavan’ ny zohy, ka mbola ao izany mandraka androany.
At sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
28 Ary Makeda dia afak’ i Josoa tamin’ izany andro izany, ka nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra izy sy ny mpanjakany; ary ny olona rehetra tao dia naringany avokoa ka tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza; ary tahaka izay efa nataony tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Jeriko, no nataony tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Makeda koa.
On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Ary Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy dia niala tany Makeda ka nankany Libna ary namely azy;
Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
30 dia natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànan’ ny Isiraely koa izy sy ny mpanjakany, ka nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra izy mbamin’ ny olona rehetra tao; tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza; ary tahaka izay efa nataony tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Jeriko no nataony tamin’ ny mpanjakany koa.
And the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Dia niala tany Libna Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Lakisy, dia nitoby tandrifiny ka namely azy.
And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
32 Dia natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànan’ ny Isiraely koa Lakisy, ka afany tamin’ ny andro faharoa izy; dia nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra izy sy ny olona rehetra tao, tahaka izay rehetra efa nataony tamin’ i Libna koa.
And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
33 Dia niakatra Horama, mpanjakan’ i Gazera, hamonjy an’ i Lakisy; dia nasian’ i Josoa izy sy ny vahoakany mandra-paha-tsy nisy niangana.
At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
34 Dia niala tany Lakisy Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Eglona, dia nitoby tandrifiny ka namely azy;
So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
35 dia afany tamin’ izany andro izany koa izy ka nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra; ary ny olona rehetra tao dia naringany tamin’ izany andro izany, tahaka izay rehetra efa nataony tamin’ i Lakisy.
That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.
36 Dia niakatra niala tany Eglona Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Hebrona ary namely azy;
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.
37 dia afany koa izy, ka nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra izy sy ny mpanjakany sy ny tanànany rehetra ary ny olona rehetra tao; tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza, tahaka izay rehetra efa nataony tamin’ i Eglona; fa naringany avokoa izy sy ny olona rehetra tao.
They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.
38 Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Debira ary namely azy;
Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.
39 dia azony koa izy sy ny mpanjakany ary ny tanànany rehetra; ary nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra Izy, ka naringany avokoa ny olona rehetra tao; fa tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza; tahaka izay efa nataony tamin’ i Hebrona, dia toy izany koa no nataony tamin’ i Debira sy ny mpanjakany, ary tahaka izay efa nataony tamin’ i Libna sy ny mpanjakany koa.
And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and as he had done to Libnah and its king.
40 Dia nasian’ i Josoa ny tany rehetra sy ny mpanjakany rehetra, dia ny tany havoana sy ny tany atsimo sy ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka ary ny any am-bodin’ ny tendrombohitra; tsy nasiany niangana ireny, fa naringany avokoa ny olo-miaina rehetra, araka ny didin’ i Jehovah. Andriamanitry ny Isiraely,
So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
41 Dia nasian’ i Josoa izy hatrany Kadesi-barnea ka hatrany Gaza, ary ny tany Gosena rehetra hatrany Gibeona.
Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
42 Ary ireo mpanjaka rehetra ireo sy ny taniny dia azon’ i Josoa indray mandeha, satria Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no niady ho an’ ny Isiraely.
And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
43 Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ho any an-toby tany Gilgala.
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
