Joshua 10
1 Zvino Adhoni-Zedheki mambo weJerusarema akanzwa kuti Joshua akanga atora Ai akariparadza zvachose, akaitira Ai namambo waro sezvaakanga aitira Jeriko namambo wayo, uye kuti vanhu veGibheoni vakanga vaita sungano yorugare navaIsraeri uye kuti vaigara pedyo navo.
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 Iye navanhu vake vakavhundutswa kwazvo nazvo, nokuti Gibheoni rakanga riri guta guru, rakaita serimwe ramaguta oumambo; rakanga riri guru kupfuura Ai, uye varume varo vose vaiva mhare pakurwa.
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 Naizvozvo Adhoni-Zedheki mambo weJerusarema akatuma nhume kuna Hohani mambo weHebhuroni, nokuna Piramu mambo weJarumuti, nokuna Jafia mambo weRakishi nokuna Dhebhiri mambo weEgironi.
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 Akati, “Uyai kuno mundibatsire kurwisa Gibheoni, nokuti vakaita sungano yorugare naJoshua navaIsraeri.”
“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 Ipapo madzimambo mashanu avaAmori, madzimambo eJerusarema, neHebhuroni, neJarumuti, neRakishi neEgironi, vakaunganidza varwi vavo. Vakaenda nehondo dzavo dzose vakavaka musasa pamberi peGibheoni, vakairwisa.
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 Zvino vaGibheoni vakatuma nhume kuna Joshua kumusasa waiva paGirigari, vachiti, “Musasiya henyu varanda venyu. Uyai kuno kwatiri nokukurumidza muzotiponesa! Tibatsirei, nokuti madzimambo ose avaAmori vanogara munyika yamakomo vaungana kuti vatirwise.”
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 Naizvozvo Joshua akafamba achibva paGirigari, iye navarwi vose vaaiva navo, navarume vose vesimba noumhare.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and the whole army with him, including all the mighty men of valour.
8 Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, “Usavatya; ndavaisa mumaoko ako. Hapana kana mumwe wavo achagona kumira pamberi pako.”
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 Naizvozvo Joshua akavarwisa vasingafungiri, shure kwokunge afamba achibva kuGirigari usiku hwose.
Joshua therefore came to them suddenly. He marched from Gilgal all night.
10 Zvino Jehovha akaita kuti vavhunduke pamberi pavaIsraeri, avo vakavauraya nokuuraya kukuru paGibheoni, vakavadzingirira nenzira inoenda kuBheti Horoni, vakavaparadza kusvikira kuAzeka nokuMakedha.
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 Pavaitiza pamberi pavaIsraeri nenzira yaidzika kubva kuBheti Horoni ichienda kuAzeka, Jehovha akakanda pamusoro pavo matombo makuru akanga achibva kudenga, vazhinji vavo vakafa nechimvuramabwe kupfuura avo vakaurayiwa neminondo yavaIsraeri.
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 Pazuva iro Jehovha akapa vaAmori kuvaIsraeri, Joshua akati kuna Jehovha pamberi pavaIsraeri: “Iwe zuva, mira pamusoro peGibheoni, Iwe mwedzi, pamusoro pemupata weAijaroni.”
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 Naizvozvo zuva rakamira, nomwedziwo ukamira, kusvikira rudzi rwatsiva vavengi varwo, sezvazvakanyorwa muBhuku raJashari. Zuva rakamira pakati pedenga rikanonoka kuvira kwenguva ingaita zuva rose.
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 Hakuna kumboita zuva rakaita seiri nguva yakapfuura kana yakatevera, pazuva iri Jehovha akateerera munhu. Zvirokwazvo Jehovha akanga achirwira Israeri!
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 Ipapo Joshua akadzokera navaIsraeri vose kumusasa paGirigari.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
16 Zvino madzimambo mashanu akanga atiza akandovanda mubako rokuMakedha.
These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Joshua paakaudzwa kuti madzimambo mashanu aya akanga awanikwa akavanda mubako paMakedha,
Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
18 akati, “Kungurutsirai matombo makuru pamuromo webako, mugoisa vamwe varume ipapo kuti varichengete.
Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;
19 Asi musamira! Teverai vavengi venyu, muvarwise necheshure kwavo uye musavarega vachisvika kumaguta avo, nokuti Jehovha Mwari wenyu avapa mumaoko enyu.”
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 Naizvozvo Joshua navaIsraeri vakavaparadza zvachose, asi vashoma vavo vakasara vakasvika kumaguta avo akavakirwa masvingo.
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 Ipapo vanhu vose vakadzokera kuna Joshua kumusasa paMakedha norugare, uye hapana kana mumwe akataura shoko pamusoro pavaIsraeri.
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 Joshua akati, “Vhurai muromo webako mugondiigira madzimambo mashanu aya.”
Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”
23 Naizvozvo vakabudisa madzimambo mashanu aya mubako, mambo weJerusarema, noweHebhuroni, noweJarumuti, noweRakishi noweEgironi.
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 Pavakauya namadzimambo aya kuna Joshua, akadana varume vose veIsraeri akati kuvatungamiri vehondo vakanga vauya naye, “Uyai pano muise tsoka dzenyu pamitsipa yamadzimambo aya.” Naizvozvo vakaenda mberi vakaisa tsoka dzavo pamitsipa yavo.
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 Joshua akati kwavari, “Musatya; musaora mwoyo. Simbai mutsunge mwoyo. Izvi ndizvo zvichaitwa naJehovha kuvavengi venyu vose vamucharwa navo.”
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 Ipapo Joshua akavabaya akauraya madzimambo aya ndokuvasungirira pamiti mishanu, uye vakasiyiwa vakarembera pamiti kusvikira madekwana.
Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
27 Zuva rava kuvira Joshua akarayira vanhu vakavaturura mumiti ndokuvakanda mubako mavakanga vambovanda. Vakaisa matombo makuru pamuromo webako, ayo achiripo nanhasi.
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 Musi iwoyo Joshua akatora Makedha. Akabayira guta namambo waro nomunondo akaparadza zvachose vanhu vose vakanga varimo. Haana kusiya vapenyu. Uye akaita kuna mambo weMakedha sezvaakaita kuna mambo weJeriko.
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 Ipapo Joshua navaIsraeri vose vaakanga anavo vakafamba kubva kuMakedha vakaenda kuRibhina ndokuirwisa.
Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
30 Jehovha akapawo guta iroro namambo waro muruoko rwaIsraeri. Joshua akaparadza guta navose vaiva mariri nomunondo. Hapana waakasiya ari mupenyu. Akaita kuna mambo waro zvaakanga aita kuna mambo weJeriko.
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 Ipapo Joshua navaIsraeri vose vaakanga anavo vakabva kuRibhina vakaenda kuRakishi; vakavaka misasa yavo pedyo naro vakarirwisa.
Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
32 Jehovha akapa Rakishi kuvaIsraeri, Joshua akaritora nezuva rechipiri. Akaparadza guta navose vaiva mariri nomunondo, sezvaakaita Ribhina.
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 Ipapo Horamu mambo weGezeri akauya kuzobatsira Rakishi, asi Joshua akamukunda pamwe chete nehondo yake, kusvikira pasisina mupenyu akasara.
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 Ipapo Joshua navaIsraeri vose vaakanga anavo vakafamba kubva kuRakishi vakaenda kuEgironi, vakavaka misasa pedyo naro vakarirwisa.
Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it and fought against it.
35 Vakaritora musi iwoyo vakariparadza nomunondo zvachose navose vaiva mariri, sezvavakaita kuRakishi.
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 Ipapo Joshua navaIsraeri vose vaakanga anavo vakafamba kubva kuEgironi vakaenda kuHebhuroni vakarirwisa.
Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
37 Vakatora guta vakariparadza nomunondo, pamwe chete namambo waro, namaguta aro, navanhu vose vaiva mariri. Hapana wavakasiya ari mupenyu. Vakariparadza zvachose navanhu vose vaiva mariri sezvavakaita kuEgironi.
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 Ipapo Joshua navaIsraeri vose vaakanga anavo vakadzokera kuDhebhiri vakarirwisa.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.
39 Vakatora guta, namambo waro nemisha yaro, vakazviparadza nomunondo. Vakaparadza zvachose vose vaivamo. Hapana wavakasiya ari mupenyu. Vakaita kuDhebhiri nokuna mambo waro sezvavakanga vaita kuRibhina nokuna mambo waro uye nokuHebhuroni.
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 Naizvozvo Joshua akaparadza nharaunda yose, zvichisanganisira nyika yamakomo, neNegevhi, neyemujinga mezvikomo zvokumavirira nemitenusirwa yamakomo pamwe chete namadzimambo acho ose. Hapana waakasiya ari mupenyu. Akaparadza zvachose vose vaifema, sezvakanga zvarayirwa naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri.
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 Joshua akavaparadza kubva kuKadheshi Bharinea kusvikira kuGaza uye nokubva kudunhu rose reGosheni kusvikira kuGibheoni.
Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.

Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
43 Ipapo Joshua akadzokera navaIsraeri vose kumusasa kuGirigari.
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
