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,
Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, learned that Joshua had captured Ai and destroyed the town completely, as he had also done to Jericho, and had killed its king, just as he had the king of Jericho. He also heard that the Gibeonites had made peace with the Israelites and were allied with 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.
The people of Jerusalem were very frightened by this because Gibeon was a large town—as large as any town ruled by the king, and larger than Ai, and its men were tough fighters.
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:
So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent a message 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 and help me 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 these five Amorite kings (the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and their armies gathered and set off. They surrounded Gibeon and then began their attack.
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.
The Gibeonites sent a message to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, “Please don't abandon us, your servants! Come quickly and save us! We need your help for all the Amorite kings of the hill country have joined in attacking us.”
7 Dia niakatra niala tany Gilgala Josoa sy ny mpanafika rehetra teo aminy, dia ny lehilahy mahery rehetra.
So Joshua, all his fighting men and best fighters, set off 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 had said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid of them, for you will defeat them. Not a single one will be able to stand against you.”
9 Ary tonga tampoka tamin’ ireo Josoa; fa nanao lava alina-avy tany Gilgala izy.
By marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua arrived without warning.
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.
The Lord threw the Amorite armies into a panic when they saw the Israelites. He struck them down with a great blow at Gibeon; he chased them all the way up to Beth-horon, cutting them down on the way to 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 ran away from the Israelites down the slope from Beth-horon, the Lord hurled large hailstones down on them from the skies all the way to Azekah. More were killed by the hailstones than we killed 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 handed the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke by the Lord in the presence of the Israelites, saying, “Sun, stand still over Gibeon! Moon, stand still 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.
The sun stopped moving, and the moon stood still, until the nation of Israel had inflicted defeat on their enemies. (This is recorded in the Book of Jashar). The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not go down for around 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 wasn't a day like this ever before or since when the Lord listened to a human voice in such a way. It was because the Lord was fighting for Israel.
15 Ary Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra dia niverina nankany an-toby tany Gilgala.
Then Joshua and all the army returned to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Ary nandositra ny mpanjaka dimy ka niery tao anatin’ ilay zohy any Makeda.
The five kings had run away and hid in a cave at Makkedah.
17 Dia nolazaina tamin’ i Josoa hoe: Indreo, miery ao anatin’ ilay zohy any Makeda ny mpanjaka dimy.
When Joshua was told that the five kings were hiding in a cave at Makkedah,
18 Ary hoy Josoa: Manakodiava vato lehibe hatampina ny vavan’ ny zohy, ary asio olona eo anoloany hiambina azy;
he gave this order, “Roll some large stones to block the entrance to the cave and have some men guard it.
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 don't you stay there. Chase the enemy down and attack them from the rear. Don't let them escape to their towns for the Lord has given them to you to defeat.”
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 totally defeated them, striking them down and killing them. Only a few of them survived to escape back to their towns.
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 army returned to Joshua at the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared even to threaten 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 cave entrance and bring out the five kings to me from the cave.”
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 did, bringing out the five kings from 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 fighting men, and said to the commanders who had gone with him, “Come here, and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came over 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.
Joshua said to them, “Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! Be strong and be brave! For the Lord is going to do the same thing to all your enemies that you're going to 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.
Then Joshua killed the kings and hung their bodies on five trees and left them hanging there until the 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.
As the sun went down Joshua gave the order to take their bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. Then the Israelites piled up stones over the entrance to the cave, and they are there to this very 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.
That day Joshua captured Makkedah, killing all its inhabitants, including the king. He set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He killed the king of Makkedah just as he had killed 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 the Israelite army left Makkedah and went to attack 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 gave the town and its king to the Israelites. Joshua had everyone in it killed, leaving no survivors. He killed its king just as he had killed 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.
Then Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Libnah to Lachish, surrounding the town and attacking 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.
The Lord gave the town to the Israelites who captured it on the second day. Joshua had everyone in it killed, just as he had done in 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.
Then Horam, king of Gezer, came with his army to help Lachish, but Joshua and his men killed them, leaving no survivors.
34 Dia niala tany Lakisy Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Eglona, dia nitoby tandrifiny ka namely azy;
Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Lachish to Eglon, surrounding the town and attacking 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.
They captured it the same day. Joshua had everyone in it killed that very day. He set it apart and completely destroyed it, just as he had done in Lachish.
36 Dia niakatra niala tany Eglona Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Hebrona ary namely azy;
Joshua and the Israelite army left Eglon and went to attack Hebron.
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 the town, as well as the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Eglon, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it.
38 Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Debira ary namely azy;
Then Joshua and the Israelite army turned and went to attack Debir.
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.
He captured it and its king and all the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Hebron, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it. He killed the king of Debir just as he had killed the king of Libnah.
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 land—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes—and all their kings. He didn't leave a single survivor. He killed everyone 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 destroyed them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza and the whole of the land from Goshen to 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.
All the kings and their lands were conquered by Joshua in one campaign because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for the Israelites.
43 Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ho any an-toby tany Gilgala.
Joshua and the Israelite army then returned to the camp at Gilgal.
