< Josoa 10 >

1 Aa ie jinanji’ i Adoni-tsedeke mpanjaka’ Ierosa­laime te rinambe’ i Iehosoa ty Ay naho nandrotsak’ aze; le manahake ty nanoe’e Ieriko rekets’ i mpanjaka’ey, ty nanoe’e i Ay rekets’ i mpan­jaka’ey; naho nifampilongo amy Israele o mpimone’ i Giboneo vaho fa aivo’ iereo ao.
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 Le nangebahebake iereo kanao posetse jabajaba ty Gibone, rovam-panjaka mandikoats’ i Ay, vaho fanalolahy iaby o lahilahi’eo.
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 Aa le nahitri’ i Adoni-tsedeke mpanjaka’ Ierosalaime amy Hohame, mpanjaka’ i Kebrone naho amy Pirame, mpanjaka’ Iarmote naho am’ Iafia, mpanjaka’ i Lakise vaho amy Debire, mpanjaka’ i Eglone, ty 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 Mionjona mb’ amako mb’etoa; antao tika handafa i Gibone amy t’ie nifampilongo amy Iehosoa naho amo ana’ Israeleo.
“Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
5 Aa le nifañosoñe i mpanjaka lime’ o nte-Amoreo rey, ty mpanjaka’ Ierosalaime, ty mpanjaka’ i Kebrone, ty mpanjaka’ Iarmote, ty mpanjaka’ i Lakise vaho ty mpanjaka’ i Eglone rekets’ o valobohò’ iareo iabio, nitobe tandrife i Gibone ey vaho nialia’e.
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 Aa le nañitrik’ am’ Iehosoa e Gilgale añe ondati’ i Giboneo nanao ty hoe: Ko ageba’o amo mpitoro’oo o fità’oo; malisà! mionjona mb’ ama’ay mb’etoy, rombaho vaho oloro; amy te nifanontoñe haname anay ze hene mpanjaka nte-Amore mpimoneñe am-bohibohitse ao.
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 Aa le niavotse i Gilgale t’Iehosoa reketse ze hene lahindefo’e, toe o fanalo­lahi’e iabio.
So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
8 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Iehosoa, Ko hembañe, ie fa natoloko am-pità’o; leo raik’ am’ondati’eo tsy hahafijohañe ama’o.
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 Aa le nivovo am’ iereo t’Iehosoa fa nikatsakatsake haleñe boake Gilgale añe,
After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
10 vaho navalitsi­kota’ Iehovà añatrefa’ Israele eo, le binaibai’e e Gibone am-pizamanam-bey; naho hinorida’e mb’ amy fitroara’ i Bete-koroney mb’ eo, vaho finofo’e pak’ Azekà naho Makedà añe.
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 Aa ie nandripàke ty lay am’ Israele, amy fizotsoa’ i Bete-koroney le nahirirì’ Iehovà ama’ iereo ty vato gada­boñe boak’ an-dikerañey pak’ Azekà, vaho nikoromake; maro ty nampivetrahe’ i havandra gada­boñey te amo vinono’ o ana’ Israeleo am-pibarao.
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 Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ Iehovà amy andro nanolora’ Iehovà o nte-Amo­reo añatrefa’ o ana’ Israeleoy; hoe re ampahaisaha’ Israele, Ry andro, mijihera amy Gibone ey, naho ry volañe, am-bavatane’ i Aialone ey.
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 Aa le nijihetse i àndroy vaho ni­tsan­gañe i volañey, ampara’ te niheneke ty fañondroha’ iareo amo rafelahi’ iareoo. Tsy fa sinokitse amy boke Iasarey hao? Nijohañe an-teñateñan-dikerañe ey i àndroy, va’e andro raike t’ie tsy nalisa niroñe.
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 Mboe lia’e tsy teo ty andro taolo ndra nanonjohy ty nanahake aze, te nihaoñe’ Iehovà ty feo’ ondaty raike; amy te nialy ho a Israele t’Iehovà.
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 Nimpoly amy zao t’Iehosoa, naho Israele iaby nindre ama’e mb’an-tobe e Gilgale añe.
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Fe nipoliotse i mpanjaka lime rey nietak’ an-dakato’ i Makedà ao.
Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Aa le nitaro­ñeñe am’ Iehosoa ty hoe: Nioniñe mietak’ an-dakato’ i Makedà ao i mpan­jaka lime rey.
And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
18 Le hoe t’Iehosoa: Amariño vato jabajaba am-bava’ i lakatoy le ajadoño eo t’indaty hañambeñe iareo
So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
19 le ko tambatse eo, fa horidaño o rafelahi’ areoo vaho lafao o amboli’eoo; ko engañe hizilik’ amo rova’eo; amy t’ie natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo am-pità’ areo.
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 Naho nihenefe’ Iehosoa naho o ana’ Israeleo ty fanjamanañe iareo am-pañohofan-doza ra’elahy, ampara’ t’ie fonga nimongotse vaho fa nimoak’ amo rova fatratseo o sehanga’eo,
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 le nimpoly mb’an-tobe mb’eo am-panintsiñañe ondaty iabio mb’ amy Iehosoa e Makedà mb’eo; tsy teo ka ty naniom-pameleke hitreatre ndra iaia amo ana’ Israeleo.
The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
22 Le hoe t’Iehosoa, Sokafo ty vava’ i lakatoy vaho aseseo amako boak’ an-dakato ao i mpanjaka lime rey.
Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
23 Aa le nanoe’ iereo; nakare’ iareo boak’ an-dakato ao i mpanjaka lime rey: ty mpanjaka’ Ierosalaime, ty mpanjaka’ i Kebrone, ty mpanjaka’ Iarmote, ty mpanjaka’ i Lakise, ty mpanjaka’ i Eglone.
So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24 Le nakare’ iareo mb’ am’ Iehosoa i mpanjaka rey, naho kinanji’ Iehosoa o lahindefo’ Israele iabio, le nanao ty hoe amo mpifelen-dahin-defo mpindre ama’eo: Mañarinea; apetaho am-pititia’ o mpanjakao o fandia’ areoo. Nañarine amy zao iereo vaho nanoe’ iereo am-pititia’ i mpanjaka rey o fandia’ iereoo.
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 Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ iereo: Ko hembañe, ko mihakahaka, mihaozara naho mahavania; fa zao ty hanoa’ Iehovà ze rafelahy iaby hialia’ areo.
“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 Linafa’ Iehosoa amy zao iereo, vinono’e vaho nampandradoradoe’e an-katae lime; niradorado amy hatae rey am-para’ te haleñe.
After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
27 Ie nitsofots’ andro, le nandily t’Iehosoa, naho nazotso amo hataeo, naho navokovoko amy lakato nietaha’ iareoy, vaho nampipohañe vato jabajaba maro am-bava’ i lakatoy—pak’ami’ty andro toy.
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 Ie amy àndroy, rinambe’ Iehosoa ka t’i Makedà naho linafa’e an-dela-pibara naho nimongore’e i mpanjaka’ey, naho ze fonga ondaty ao; leo raike tsy nisisa; vaho nanoe’e amy mpanjaka’ i Makedày hambañe amy nanoa’e i mpanjaka’ Ierikoy.
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 Nienga’ i Makedà t’Iehosoa rekets’ Israele iaby naho nimb’e Libnà mb’eo vaho nialy amy Libnà;
Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
30 natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ Israele ka izay naho i mpanjaka’ey le linafa’e an-dela-pibara naho ze fonga ondaty ao; tsy nampipoke sengaha’e, le nanoe’e amy mpanjaka’ey hambañe amy nanoe’e amy mpanjaka’ Ierikoy.
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 Nienga i Libnà t’Iehosoa naho Israele iaby, nomb’e Lakise mb’eo naho nitobe marine aze vaho nialia’e;
And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
32 le natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ Israele t’i Lakise; rinambe’e amy andro faha roey vaho linafa’e an-dela-pibara naho ze fonga ondaty ao, hambañe amy nanoe’e i Libnày.
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 Aa le nionjoñe mb’e Lakise mb’eo t’i Korame mpanjaka’ i Gezere hañolots’ aze, le linafa’ Iehosoa ka naho ondati’eo am-para te tsy aman-tsehanga’e.
At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
34 Nienga i Lakise t’Iehosoa rekets’ Israele iaby le nimb’e Eglone mb’eo naho nitobe eo vaho nialia’e.
So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
35 Rinambe’ iereo amy àndroy avao, vaho linafa’e an-dela-pibara; ie naho o fonga ondati’eo ro zina­ma’e amy àndroy, hambañe amy nanoe’e i Lakisey.
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 Nienga i Eglone t’Iehosoa naho nindre ama’e t’Israele iaby, nimb’e Kebrone mb’ eo le nialia’e.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.
37 Rinambe izay naho linafa’e an-dela-pibara rekets’ i mpanjaka’ey naho ze hene rova’e naho ondati’e iabio; leo sehanga’e tsy napo’e, hambañe amy nanoe’e i Egloney, ie vata’e narotsa’e reketse ze fonga ondaty ama’e ao.
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 Nibalike mb’e Debire mb’eo t’Iehosoa naho nindre ama’e t’Israele iaby vaho nialia’e;
Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.
39 ri­nambe’e rekets’ i mpanjaka’ey naho o ro­va’eo le linafa’ iareo an-dela-pibara naho namongotse ze fonga ondaty ao; leo sehanga’e tsy napo’e; manahake ty nanoe’e Amy Kebrone ty nanoa’e Amy Debire naho i mpan­jaka’ey, hambañe amy nanoe’e amy Libnày naho i mpan­jaka’eiy.
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 Aa le hene finofo’ Iehosoa o am-bohibohitseo naho i Atimoy naho i vavatanen-drano manganahanay naho o mpanjaka’e iabio; tsy napo’e sehanga’e fa fonga nimongore’e ze raha nikofòke, ty amy linili’ ­Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israeley.
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 Fonga linafa’ Iehosoa boake Kadese-barnea pak’ Aza naho an-tane Go­sene iaby pake Gibone.
Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
42 Rinambe’ Ieho­soa indrai-mipaoke i mpanjaka rey naho o tane’eo amy te nialy ho a Israele t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele.
And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
43 Aa le nimpoly mb’an-tobe’ i Gilgale mb’eo t’Iehosoa naho Israele iaby.
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
