Iyyaasuu 10
1 Adoonii-Zedeq Mootiin Yerusaalem akka Iyyaasuun Aayin qabatee guutumaan guutuutti barbadeesse, akka inni akkuma Yerikoo fi mootii ishee godhe sana Aayii fi Mootii ishee godhe, akkasumas akka namoonni Gibeʼoon Israaʼeloota wajjin walii galtee nagaa godhatanii isaan bira jiraatan dhagaʼe.
When Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, specifically, that Joshua had seized Ai, and had overthrown it, (for just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so did he do to Ai and its king, ) and that the Gibeonites had fled over to Israel, and were now their confederates,
2 Sababii magaalaan Gibeʼoon akkuma magaalaa moototaa tokkootti magaalaa hangafa taateef innii fi namoonni isaa akka malee rifatan; magaalaan Gibeʼoon magaalaa Aayi caalaa guddoo turte; namoonni ishees loltoota jajjaboo turan.
he was very afraid. For Gibeon was a great city, and was one of the royal cities, and was greater than the town of Ai, and all its warriors were very strong.
3 Kanaafuu Adoonii-Zedeq mootichi Yerusaalem sun Hoohaam mooticha Kebroonitti, Phiraam mooticha Yarmuutitti, Yaafiiyaa mooticha Laakkiishii fi Debiir mooticha Egloonitti ergee,
Therefore, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, the king of Hebron, and to Piram, the king of Jarmuth, and also to Japhia, the king of Lachish, and to Debir, the king of Eglon, saying:
4 “Sababii isheen Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼel wajjin walii galtee nagaa godhatteef ol kottaatii Gibeʼoonin waraanuu na gargaaraa” jedheen.
“Ascend to me, and bring troops, so that we may fight against Gibeon. For it has fled over to Joshua and the sons of Israel.”
5 Kanaafuu mootonni Amoorotaa shananuu jechuunis mootiin Yerusaalem, mootiin Kebroon, mootiin Yarmuut, mootiin Laakkiishii fi mootiin Egloon humna waraanaa walitti dabalatan. Isaanis loltoota isaanii hunda fudhatanii ol baʼanii Gibeʼoonin marsanii waraanan.
And so, having assembled, the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, together with their armies, went up and encamped around Gibeon, laying siege to it.
6 Namoonni Gibeʼoonis qubata Gilgaal gara Iyyaasuutti ergaa erganii akkana jedhaniin; “Ati garboota kee hin dhiisin. Dafii nu qaqqabiitii nu oolchi; sababii mootonni Amoorotaa kanneen biyya gaaraa keessa jiraatan hundi nu waraanuuf loltoota walitti dabalataniif nu gargaari.”
But the inhabitants of the city of Gibeon, when it was besieged, sent to Joshua, who was then staying in the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him: “May you not draw back your hands from helping your servants. Come quickly, and free us, and bring troops. For all the kings of the Amorites, who live in the mountains, have gathered together against us.”
7 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun loltoota isaa hunda wajjin, namoota waraanaa jajjabeeyyii hundas dabalatee Gilgaalii ol baʼe.
And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, and the entire army of warriors with him, very strong men.
8 Waaqayyos Iyyaasuudhaan, “Isaan hin sodaatin; ani harka keetti dabarsee isaan kenneera. Tokkoon isaanii iyyuu fuula kee dura dhaabachuu hin dandaʼan” jedhe.
And the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear them. For I have delivered them into your hands. None of them will be able to withstand you.”
9 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun Gilgaalii baʼee halkan guutuu deemaa bulee tasuma isaanitti dhufe.
And so Joshua, ascending from Gilgal throughout the night, rushed upon them suddenly.
10 Waaqayyos fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti isaan burjaajesse; Israaʼeloonnis Gibeʼoonitti moʼannaa guddaadhaan isaan moʼatan. Karaa Beet Horoonitti geessu irra isaan ariʼaa hamma Azeeqaa fi Maqeedaatti isaan gogorraʼan.
And the Lord set them in disarray before the face of Israel. And he crushed them in a great defeat at Gibeon, and he pursued them along the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and he struck them down, even as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
11 Utuma isaan Israaʼeloota duraa karaa Beet Horooniin gara Azeeqaatti gad baqachaa jiranuu Waaqayyo samiidhaa cabbii gurguddaa itti roobse; warra goraadee Israaʼelootaatiin dhuman caalaa kanneen cabbii kanaan dhumanitu baayʼata.
And while they were fleeing from the sons of Israel, and were on the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast great stones from heaven upon them, as far as Azekah. And many more were killed by the hailstones, than were struck down by the swords of the sons of Israel.
12 Gaafa Waaqayyo Amoorota dabarsee Israaʼelootatti kenne sana Iyyaasuun fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti Waaqayyoon akkana jedhe: “Yaa aduu, Gibeʼoon gubbaa dhaabadhu; yaa jiʼa, atis Sulula Ayaaloon gubbaa dhaabadhu.”
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, on the day that he handed over the Amorite in the sight of the sons of Israel, and he said before them: “O sun, you shall not move toward Gibeon! O moon, you shall not move toward the valley of Aijalon!”
13 Kanaafuu hamma sabni diinota isaa haaloo baafatutti aduun idduma jirtu dhaabatte; jiʼis ni dhaabate; wanni kun Kitaaba Yaashaar keessatti barreeffameera mitii? Aduun walakkaa samii keessa dhaabattee guyyaa tokko guutuu utuu hin dhiʼin turte.
And the sun and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves of their enemies. Has this not been written in the book of the just? And so the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and it did not hurry to its rest for the space of one day.
14 Guyyaan Waaqayyo nama dhagaʼe kan akkasii gaafasiin dura yookaan ergasii takkumaa taʼee hin beeku. Waaqayyo dhugumaan Israaʼeliif lolaa ture!
Never before and never after was there so long a day, as when the Lord obeyed the voice of a man, and fought for Israel.
15 Ergasii Iyyaasuun Israaʼeloota hunda wajjin qubata Gilgaal jiru sanatti deebiʼe.
And Joshua returned, with all of Israel, into the camp of Gilgal.
16 Mootonni shanan sun baqatanii holqa Maqeedaa keessatti dhokatanii turan.
For the five kings had fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
17 Akka mootonni shanan holqa Maqeedaa keessatti dhokatan Iyyaasuutti himame;
And it was reported to Joshua that the five kings had been found hidden in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
18 innis akkana jedhe; “Dhagaa guddaa isaa afaan holqa sanaatti gangalchaatii akka isaan eeganiif namoota achitti ramadaa.
And he instructed his companions and said: “Roll vast stones to the mouth of the cave, and station attentive men who will keep them closed.
19 Isin diinota keessan ariʼaatii karaa dugda duubaatiin rukutaa malee hin dhaabatinaa! Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan dabarsee harka keessanitti isaan kenneef akka isaan magaalaawwan isaanii seenan hin godhinaa.”
But as for you, do not stay here; instead, pursue the enemies, and cut down the lattermost of those who are fleeing. You shall not permit those whom the Lord God has delivered into your hands to enter into the protection of their cities.”
20 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni hamma namni muraasni hafutti guutumaan guutuutti isaan barbadeessan. Warri hafan immoo magaalaawwan isaanii kanneen jajjabeeffamanii ijaaramanitti galan.
Thus, the adversaries were struck down in a great defeat, and having been nearly consumed, even to utter annihilation, those who were able to escape from Israel entered into fortified cities.
21 Loltoonni hundi nagumaan gara qubata Maqeedaa gara Iyyaasuutti deebiʼan; namni tokko iyyuu afaan isaa Israaʼelootatti hin bananne.
And the entire army returned to Joshua at Makkedah, where they were then encamped, in good health and in their full numbers. And no one dared to move his tongue against the sons of Israel.
22 Iyyaasuunis, “Mee afaan holqa sanaa banaatii mootota shanan sana gad naa baasaa” jedhe.
And Joshua instructed, saying, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forward to me the five kings, who are hidden within it.”
23 Isaanis mootota shanan sana jechuunis mootii Yerusaalem, mootii Kebroon, mootii Yarmuut, mootii Laakkiishii fi mootii Egloon holqa keessaa baasanii fidan.
And the ministers did just as they had been ordered. And they led out to him the five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
24 Yommuu isaan mootota kana shanan Iyyaasuutti fidan, inni namoota Israaʼel hunda walitti waamee ajajjoota loltootaa kanneen isa wajjin dhufaniin, “Kottaatii miilla keessaniin morma mootota kanneenii irra ejjadhaa” jedhe. Isaanis gara fuula duraatti baʼanii miilla isaaniitiin morma mootota sanaa irra ejjetan.
And when they had been led out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and he said to the leaders of the army who were with him, “Go, and place your feet upon the necks of these kings.” And when they had gone and had tread their feet upon the necks of those who were thrown down,
25 Iyyaasuun, “Hin sodaatinaa; abdiis hin kutatinaa. Jabaadhaa; cimaas. Wanni Waaqayyo diinota isin loluuf deemtan hunda irratti godhuuf jirus kanuma” jedheen.
he spoke to them again: “Do not be afraid, and do not dread. Be strengthened and be steadfast. For so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.”
26 Iyyaasuun ergasii mootota sana dhaʼee ajjeesee mukkeen shan irratti isaan fannise; isaanis hamma lafti galgalooftutti akkuma muka irratti fannifamanitti turan.
And Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he suspended them on five gallows. And they hung there until evening.
27 Yeroo aduun dhiitetti Iyyaasuun ajaja kenne; jarris mukkeen irraa gad isaan buusanii holqa isaan keessa dhokatanii turan sanatti isaan daddarbatan. Afaan holqa sanaa irras dhagaa gurguddaa hamma guyyaa harʼaatti illee achuma jiru naqan.
And when the sun had set, he instructed his assistants that they should take them down from the gallows. And having been taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hidden, and they set vast stones at its mouth, which remain, even to the present.
28 Iyyaasuunis guyyuma sana Maqeedaa qabate. Innis magaalaa sanaa fi mootii ishee goraadeedhaan dhaʼee nama achi keessa jiru hunda fixe. Nama tokko iyyuu hin hambifne. Mootii Maqeedaas akkuma mootii Yerikoo godhe sana godhe.
Also on the same day, Joshua seized Makkedah, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and he put to death its king and all its inhabitants. He did not leave in it even the smallest remains. And he did to the king of Makkedah, just as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni isa wajjin turan hundi Maqeedaadhaa baʼanii dhaqanii Libnaa lolan.
Then he went on, with all of Israel, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against it.
30 Waaqayyos magaalaa sanaa fi mootii ishee dabarsee harka Israaʼelootaatti kenne. Iyyaasuun magaalattii fi nama ishee keessa jiru hunda goraadeedhaan fixe. Inni nama tokko illee achitti hin hambifne. Mootii ishee illee akkuma mootii Yerikoo godhe sana godhe.
And the Lord delivered it, with its king, into the hands of Israel. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, and all its inhabitants. They did not leave in it any remains. And they did to the king of Libnah, just as they had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni hundi isa wajjin Libnaadhaa kaʼanii Laakkiish dhaqan; isaanis magaalaa sana marsanii waraanan.
From Libnah, with all of Israel, he went on to Lachish. And taking positions around it with his army, he besieged it.
32 Waaqayyos Laakkiish dabarsee harka Israaʼelootaatti kenne; Iyyaasuunis guyyaa lammaffaatti ishee qabate. Akkuma Libnaa godhe sana magaalaa sanaa fi warra ishee keessa jiraatan hunda goraadeedhaan fixe.
And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hands of Israel, and he seized it on the following day, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every soul that was in it, just as he had done to Libnah.
33 Yeroo sanatti Hooraam mootichi Geezir, Laakkiish gargaaruudhaaf dhufee ture; Iyyaasuun garuu isaa fi loltoota isaa ni moʼate; namni tokko iyyuu hin hafne.
At that time, Horam, the king of Gezer, went up so that he might assist Lachish. And Joshua struck him with all his people, even unto utter annihilation.
34 Ergasiis Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni hundi Laakkiishii kaʼanii gara Egloon dhaqan; marsaniis ishee waraanan.
And he went on from Lachish to Eglon, and he surrounded it.
35 Guyyuma sana ishee qabatanii akkuma Laakkiish godhan sana ishee fi nama ishee keessa jiru hunda goraadeedhaan fixan.
And he also defeated it on the same day. And he struck all the souls that were in it with the edge of the sword, in accord with all that he had done to Lachish.
36 Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni hundis isa wajjin Egloonii kaʼanii gara Kebroonitti ol baʼanii ishee waraanan.
He also ascended, with all of Israel, from Eglon into Hebron, and he fought against it.
37 Isaanis magaalattii qabatanii mootii ishee, gandoota isheetii fi nama ishee keessa jiru hunda goraadeedhaan fixan. Nama tokko iyyuu hin hambifne. Akkuma Egloon godhan sana ishee fi nama ishee keessa jiru hunda guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessan.
He seized it and struck it with the edge of the sword, likewise with its king, and all the towns of that region, and all the souls that were staying in it. He did not leave any remains in it. Just as he had done to Eglon, so also did he do to Hebron, consuming with the sword all that he found within it.
38 Ergasiis Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni hundi isa wajjin of irra deebiʼanii Debiirin dhaʼan.
Returning from there to Debir,
39 Isaanis magaalattii, mootii isheetii fi gandoota ishee qabatanii goraadeedhaan fixan. Namoota ishee keessa jiraatan hundas guutumaan guutuutti fixan. Nama tokko iyyuu hin hambifne. Akkuma Libnaa, mootii isheetii fi Kebroon godhan sana Debiirii fi mootii ishee godhan.
he seized it and laid waste to it, likewise with its king. And all the surrounding towns, he struck with the edge of the sword. He did not leave in it any remains. Just as he had done to Hebron and Libnah, and to their kings, so did he do to Debir and to its king.
40 Iyyaasuunis akkasiin guutummaa biyya sanaa, biyya gaaraa, Negeebi, biyya gammoojjii, tabbawwan tulluutii fi mootota isaanii hundas moʼate. Inni akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel ajajetti waan hafuura baafatu hunda guutumaan guutuutti balleesse malee nama tokko illee hin hambifne.
And so Joshua struck the entire land, the mountains, and the south, and the plains, and the descending slopes, with their kings. He did not leave in it any remains, but he put to death all that was able to breathe, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had instructed him,
41 Iyyaasuun Qaadesh Barnee irraa jalqabee hamma Gaazaatti, guutummaa biyya Gooshen hamma Gibeʼoonitti qabate.
from Kadesh-barnea, as far as Gaza, with all the land of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.
42 Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel Israaʼeliif loleef Iyyaasuun mootota kanneenii fi lafa isaanii loluma tokkoon moʼate.
And all their kings and their regions, he seized and destroyed with a single attack. For the Lord, the God of Israel, fought on his behalf.
43 Ergasii Iyyaasuun Israaʼeloota hunda wajjin gara qubata Gilgaalitti deebiʼe.
And he returned, with all of Israel, to the place of the encampment at Gilgal.
