< 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 how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were amongst 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.
they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater 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 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 to me and help me. Let’s strike Gibeon; for they have made peace with Joshua and with the children 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.
Therefore 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, gathered themselves together and went up, they and all their armies, and encamped against 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.
The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Don’t abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.”
7 Dia niakatra niala tany Gilgala Josoa sy ny mpanafika rehetra teo aminy, dia ny lehilahy mahery rehetra.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and the whole army with him, including all the mighty men of valour.
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, “Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you.”
9 Ary tonga tampoka tamin’ ireo Josoa; fa nanao lava alina-avy tany Gilgala izy.
Joshua therefore came to them suddenly. He marched from Gilgal all night.
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 confused them before Israel. He killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to 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 from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, the LORD hurled down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.
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 the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel. He said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop 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 stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down 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 was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Ary Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra dia niverina nankany an-toby tany Gilgala.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
16 Ary nandositra ny mpanjaka dimy ka niery tao anatin’ ilay zohy any Makeda.
These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Dia nolazaina tamin’ i Josoa hoe: Indreo, miery ao anatin’ ilay zohy any Makeda ny mpanjaka dimy.
Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, 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 to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it 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 don’t stay there. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into 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,
When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into 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.
all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children 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 cave entrance, and bring those five kings out of the cave 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.
They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: 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 those kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, “Come near. Put your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came near, 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 be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all your enemies against whom 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.
Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees 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.
At the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and threw them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain 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.
Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed it and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. 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;
Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, 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.
The LORD delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining in it. He did to its king 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.
Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against 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.
The LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that 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; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him no one remaining.
34 Dia niala tany Lakisy Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Eglona, dia nitoby tandrifiny ka namely azy;
Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against 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.
They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 Dia niakatra niala tany Eglona Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Hebrona ary namely azy;
Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they 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 took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.
38 Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Debira ary namely azy;
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to 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.
He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to 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 struck all the land, the hill country, the South, the lowland, the slopes, and all their kings. He left no one remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, 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 even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even 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 took all these kings and their land at one time because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
43 Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ho any an-toby tany Gilgala.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
