< 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 when Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua had captured Ai and had completely destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king), he also heard how the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among 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 afraid because Gibeon was a large city, like one of the royal cities. It was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty warriors.
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, to Piram, king of Jarmuth, to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon:
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 to me and help me. Let us attack Gibeon because they have made peace with Joshua and with the people of Israel.”
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.
The five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon came up, they and all their armies. They set up their positions against Gibeon, and they attacked 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.
The people of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua and to the army at Gilgal. They said, “Hurry! Do not withdraw your hands from your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us. Help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who live in the hill country have gathered together to attack us.”
7 Dia niakatra niala tany Gilgala Josoa sy ny mpanafika rehetra teo aminy, dia ny lehilahy mahery rehetra.
Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the men of war with him, and all the fighting men.
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.
Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them. I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to stop your attack.”
9 Ary tonga tampoka tamin’ ireo Josoa; fa nanao lava alina-avy tany Gilgala izy.
Joshua came upon them suddenly, having marched all night from Gilgal.
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.
Yahweh confused the enemy before Israel, and Israel killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon and pursued them on the road going up to Beth Horon, and they killed them on the road 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 Israel, down the hill from Beth Horon, Yahweh threw large stones down from heaven upon them all the way to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died because of the hailstones than who were killed with the sword by the men of Israel.
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.
Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh on the day Yahweh gave the men of Israel victory over the Amorites. This is what Joshua said to Yahweh before Israel, “Sun, be still at Gibeon, and moon, in 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 stood still, and the moon stopped moving until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky; it did not go down for about a whole 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 other day like it before or after it, when Yahweh obeyed the voice of a human being. For Yahweh was waging war on behalf of Israel.
15 Ary Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra dia niverina nankany an-toby tany Gilgala.
Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Ary nandositra ny mpanjaka dimy ka niery tao anatin’ ilay zohy any Makeda.
Now the five kings had escaped and hidden themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Dia nolazaina tamin’ i Josoa hoe: Indreo, miery ao anatin’ ilay zohy any Makeda ny mpanjaka dimy.
It was told to Joshua, “They have been found!—the five kings hidden in the cave at Makkedah!”
18 Ary hoy Josoa: Manakodiava vato lehibe hatampina ny vavan’ ny zohy, ary asio olona eo anoloany hiambina azy;
Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave and place soldiers 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.
Do not stay yourselves. Pursue your enemies and attack them from the rear. Do not permit them to enter into their cities, because Yahweh your God has given 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,
Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slaughtering them with a very great slaughter, until they were almost completely destroyed; only a few survivors who escaped reached 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.
Then the whole army returned in peace to Joshua at the camp at Makkedah. No one dared to say one word against any of the people of Israel.
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 out of the cave bring to me these five kings.”
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.
They did as he said. They brought to him these five kings from the cave—the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of 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 brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned every man of Israel. He said to the commanders of the soldiers who had gone into battle with him, “Put your feet on their necks.” So they came up 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.
Then he said to them, “Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all your enemies you are 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 attacked and killed the kings. He hung them on five trees. They hung on the trees 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.
When it was sunset, Joshua gave orders, and they took them down from the trees and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves. They put large stones over the mouth of the cave. Those stones remain 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.
In this way, Joshua captured Makkedah on that day and killed everyone there with the sword, including its king. He completely destroyed everyone in it. He left no survivor in it. He did to the king of Makkedah just 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;
Joshua and all Israel passed on from Makkedah to Libnah. He went into battle 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.
Yahweh also gave it into the hand of Israel—along with their king. Joshua struck it with the edge of the sword and every person in it. He left no survivor in it. He did to its king just 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.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Libnah to Lachish. He camped by it and waged war 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.
Yahweh gave Lachish into the hand of Israel. Joshua captured it on the second day and struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it, 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.
Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to help Lachish. Joshua attacked him and his army until there was not even one survivor left.
34 Dia niala tany Lakisy Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Eglona, dia nitoby tandrifiny ka namely azy;
Then Joshua and all Israel passed on from Lachish to Eglon. They camped by it and waged war 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.
and captured it that same day. They struck it with the edge of the sword and they completely destroyed everyone in it, as Joshua 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 passed on from Eglon to Hebron. They waged war 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 struck it with the edge of the sword, and its king and its villages, and everyone in it. They left no survivor it, as they had done to Eglon, they totally destroyed it and every person in it.
38 Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Debira ary namely azy;
Then Joshua turned, and all the army of Israel with him, and they passed on to Debir and waged war 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.
They captured it, its king and all its nearby villages. They struck them with the edge of the sword and completely destroyed every person in it. They left no survivor. They did to Debir and its king as they had done to Libnah and its king and to Hebron.
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,
Joshua conquered all the land, the hill country, the Negev, the lowlands, and the foothills. Of all their kings he left not one survivor. He completely destroyed every living thing, just as Yahweh, 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 struck them from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza, and all the country of 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.
Joshua captured all these kings and their land at one time because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
43 Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ho any an-toby tany Gilgala.
Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, returned to the camp at Gilgal.
