Yashuuca 10
1 Oo boqorkii Yeruusaalem oo Adonii Sedeq ahaa markuu maqlay siduu Yashuuca Aacii u qabsaday, oo uu dhammaanteed u baabbi'iyey, iyo siduu Yerixoo iyo boqorkeediiba ku sameeyey, oo uu haddana sidaas oo kale ku sameeyey Aacii iyo boqorkeediiba, iyo siday dadkii Gibecoon degganaa oo ku dhex jiray ula nabdeen reer binu Israa'iil,
Later, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua’s army had captured Ai [town] and had destroyed everything in the town. He heard that they had done to the people of Ai and to their king the same thing that they had done to the people of Jericho and their king. He also heard that the people of Gibeon [city] had made a peace treaty with the Israeli people, and that the people of Gibeon were now living near the Israelis and being protected by them.
2 ayuu aad u cabsaday, maxaa yeelay, Gibecoon waxay ahayd magaalo weyn sida mid ka mid ah magaalooyinka boqorrada, waayo, way ka sii weynayd Aacii, oo dadkeeda oo dhammuna waa xoog badnaayeen.
Because of that, he and the people whom he ruled became very afraid, because Gibeon was an important city, like the other cities that had kings. And [even though] Gibeon was a larger city than Ai and all its soldiers were good fighters, [they thought Joshua’s army might defeat them].
3 Sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii Yeruusaalem oo ahaa Adonii Sedeq wuxuu u cid diray boqorkii Xebroon oo ahaa Hoohaam, iyo boqorkii Yarmuud oo ahaa Firaam, iyo boqorkii Laakiish oo ahaa Yaafiica, iyo boqorkii Cegloon oo ahaa Debiir, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
So King Adonizedek sent a message to Hosham the king of Hebron [city], to Piram the king of Jarmuth [city], to Jarmuth the king of Lachish [city], and to Debir the king of Eglon [city].
4 Ii kaalaya, oo i caawiya, oo ina keena aynu Gibecoon baabbi'innee; waayo, waxay la nabadday Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil.
In the message he said, “Please come up with your armies and help me to attack Gibeon, because the people of Gibeon have made a peace treaty with Joshua and the Israelis.”
5 Sidaas daraaddeed shantii boqor oo reer Amor waa iswada urursadeen, oo kuwaasu waxay ahaayeen boqorkii Yeruusaalem, iyo boqorkii Xebroon, iyo boqorkii Yarmuud, iyo boqorkii Laakiish, iyo boqorkii Cegloon; iyaga iyo ciidammadooda oo dhammu kor bay u bixiyeen oo waxay hor degeen Gibecoon oo dagaal ku qaadeen.
So those five kings who ruled all the groups who were descendants of Amor—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Debir—came up with all of their soldiers and surrounded the city. Then they prepared to attack it.
6 Oo dadkii reer Gibecoon waxay u cid dirteen Yashuuca oo joogay xeradii Gilgaal, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Gacantaadu yay ka raagin addoommadaada, noo soo dhaqso, oo na badbaadi, oo na caawi: maxaa yeelay, boqorradii reer Amor oo buuraha degganaa oo dhammu way isu kaayo urursadeen.
So the people of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua while he was in the camp at Gilgal. They said, “We are your servants. So do not forsake us. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because the kings of all of the groups descended from Amor and their armies have joined their forces and have come from the hilly area to attack us!”
7 Sidaas daraaddeed Yashuuca wuxuu ka tegey Gilgaal isagoo ay la socdaan dadkii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhan iyo raggii xoogga lahaa oo dhammuba.
So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
8 Oo markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Iyaga ha ka cabsan, waayo, iyaga gacmahaagaan kuu soo geliyey. Midkoodna isma kaa hor taagi doono.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of those armies! I will enable your army to defeat them [IDM]. None of them will be able to (resist/fight and defeat) your army.”
9 Oo sidaas daraaddeed Yashuuca ayaa ku soo kediyey iyagii, waayo, habeenkii oo dhan buu ka soo guuraynayay Gilgaal.
Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
10 Oo markaasaa Rabbigu cabsi ku riday iyagii reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, oo Gibecoon agteeda ayuu aad ugu laayay, oo wuxuu u eryaday xagga jidkii kor loo baxo Beytxooroon, oo wuxuu ku laynayay ilaa Caseeqaah iyo tan iyo Maqeedaah.
They attacked their enemies before anyone knew that they had come. Yahweh caused their enemies to (become very confused/start running in all directions) when they saw the Israeli army. As a result, the Israeli army defeated them very severely at Gibeon [and killed many of them]. The rest of them fled along the road that goes up to Beth-Horon. But the Israeli army pursued them and killed them all along the road that goes to Azekah and Makkedah towns.
11 Oo markay ka carareen reer binu Israa'iil, intay ku sii jireen dhaadhaca Beytxooroon, ayaa Rabbigu wuxuu iyaga samada kaga soo daayay roob dhagaxyo leh oo waaweyn ilaa Caseeqaah, oo way dhinteen; oo intii roobkii dhagaxyada lahaa ku dhimatay baa ka sii badnayd intoodii reer binu Israa'iil seefta ku laayeen.
As they fled in front of the Israeli army, Yahweh threw down huge hailstones from the sky. As a result, more of them died from hailstones falling on them than died as a result of the Israeli army killing them with swords.
12 Markaasaa Yashuuca Rabbiga la hadlay maalintii Rabbigu reer Amor u dhiibay reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil hortooda ka yidhi, Qorraxday, istaag Gibecoon korkeeda, Adiguna, Dayaxow, waxaad kor istaagtaa dooxada Ayaaloon.
On the day that Yahweh enabled the Israeli army to defeat the groups who were descendants of Amor, Joshua said to Yahweh while the Israeli people were listening, “Yahweh, cause the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and cause the moon to not move when it is over Aijalon Valley.”
13 Oo markaasaa qorraxdii istaagtay; dayaxiina waa joogsaday, Ilaa ay quruuntii ka aarsatay cadaawayaashoodii. Tanu miyaanay ku qornayn kitaabkii Yaashaar? Oo qorraxdii waxay ku joogsatay samada dhexdeeda, umana ay degdegin inay hoos u dhacdo maalin dhan.
And that is what happened. The sun stood still, and the moon did not move, until the Israeli army defeated their enemies. That is what has been written in the book that Jashar wrote. The sun stopped while it was in the middle of the sky, and did not (set/go down) for about a whole day.
14 Oo maalintaas maalin la mid ahu kamana horrayn, kamana dambayn, ee uu Rabbigu maqlay nin codkiis: waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu u diriray reer binu Israa'iil.
On that day Yahweh did a great miracle that someone asked him to do. There was never a day like that previously, and there has never been a day like that since. Yahweh was certainly fighting for the Israeli people!
15 Markaasaa Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku noqdeen xeradii ku tiil Gilgaal.
After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
16 Kolkaasaa shantii boqor carartay, oo waxay ku dhuunteen godkii ku yiil Maqeedaah.
While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
17 Oo markaasaa Yashuuca loo sheegay, oo waxaa lagu yidhi, Shantii boqor waxaa la helay iyagoo ku qarsoon god ku yaal Maqeedaah.
Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
18 Markaasuu Yashuuca yidhi, Dhagaxyo waaweyn ku giringiriya godka afiisa, oo rag dhawrana ag taaga;
When Joshua heard that, he said, “Roll some very large rocks to the entrance of the cave so that the kings cannot escape, and leave some soldiers there to guard it.
19 laakiinse intiinna kale ha joogsanina; ee cadaawayaashiinna eryada, oo laaya intooda ugu dambaysa, oo ha u oggolaanina inay galaan magaalooyinkooda; waayo, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ayaa iyaga gacanta idiin geliyey.
But do not stay there! Pursue our enemies! Attack them from behind! Do not allow them to escape to their cities, because Yahweh, our God, will enable you to defeat/kill them. [IDM]”
20 Oo markii Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil ay dhammeeyeen layntii weynayd ee ay raggii laayeen, ilaa ay wada baabbi'iyeen oo firxadkii ka soo hadhayna ay galeen magaalooyinkii deyrarka lahaa,
So Joshua’s army did what he told them to do. They killed almost all of the enemy soldiers, but a few of them were able to reach their cities and be safe inside the walls of the cities.
21 ayaa dadkii oo dhammu nabdoonaan ku soo noqdeen Yashuuca oo joogay xeradii ku tiil Maqeedaah, oo mid qudh ahu afka uma kala qaadin reer binu Israa'iil.
Then Joshua’s army returned to Joshua, who was still in their camp at Makkedah. No one in the land dared to criticize [MTY] the Israelis.
22 Oo markaasuu Yashuuca yidhi, Godka afkiisa banneeya oo shantii boqor ka soo bixiya godkii oo ii keena.
Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
23 Kolkaasay sidii yeeleen, oo waxay isagii u keeneen shantii boqor oo ay ka soo bixiyeen godkii, kuwaas oo ahaa boqorkii Yeruusaalem, iyo boqorkii Xebroon, iyo boqorkii Yarmuud, iyo boqorkii Laakiish, iyo boqorkii Cegloon.
So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24 Oo markay boqorradii u keeneen Yashuuca ayuu u yeedhay raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo wuxuu raggii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo isaga raacay madaxdoodii ku yidhi, Soo dhowaada, oo boqorradan qoorta kaga joogsada. Oo kolkaasay soo dhowaadeen, oo boqorradii qoorta kaga joogsadeen.
When they brought those kings to Joshua [and forced them to lie on the ground], he summoned all the Israeli soldiers, and then he said to the army commanders, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings!” So the commanders did that.
25 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Ha cabsanina, hana qalbi jabina; xoog yeesha oo aad u dhiirranaada; waayo, Rabbigu sidaasuu u geli doonaa cadaawayaashiinna aad la diriraysaan oo dhan.
Then Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid of any of our enemies! Never be discouraged! Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all the enemies you will fight!”
26 Oo markaas dabadeed ayuu Yashuuca wada laayay, oo uu shan geed ka soo deldelay, oo waxay geedihii ka soo laalaadeen ilaa fiidkii.
Then Joshua killed each of the five kings with his sword, and told his soldiers to hang the bodies of the five kings on trees. So they did that, and they left the bodies hanging on the trees until sunset.
27 Oo kolkay qorraxdu dhacday ayaa Yashuuca amray in laga soo dejiyo geedihii, oo kolkaasay ku tuureen godkii ay markii hore ku dhuunteen, oo markaasay dhagaxyo waaweyn godkii afkiisii saareen, oo waa sidii ilaa maantadan.
At sunset, Joshua told them to take the bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. So the soldiers did that, and then they put those large rocks at the entrance of the cave again. Those rocks are still there.
28 Oo Yashuuca maalintaasuu qabsaday Maqeedaah, oo wuxuu dadkeedii ku laayay seef, iyo xataa boqorkeedii; oo dadkii ku jiray oo dhan wuu wada baabbi'iyey, oo waxba kama uu reebin, oo boqorkii Maqeedaah wuxuu ku sameeyey sidii uu ku sameeyey boqorkii Yerixoo.
That is how Joshua’s army attacked and captured Makkedah. They killed the king and everyone else in the town. They did not leave anyone alive. They did to the king of Makkedah the same thing that they had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Oo Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu way dhaafeen Maqeedaah oo waxay tageen Libnaah, oo la dirireen reer Libnaah;
That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
30 oo Rabbigu iyada iyo boqorkeediiba wuxuu gacanta u geliyey reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuu seef ku laayay iyada iyo dadkii ku jiray oo dhan, oo waxba kama uu reebin, oo boqorkeediina wuxuu ku sameeyey sidii uu ku sameeyey boqorkii Yerixoo.
Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] that city and its king. They killed everyone in the city; they did not (spare anyone/allow anyone to remain alive). They killed the king of Libnah just like they had killed the king of Jericho.
31 Oo Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu way dhaafeen Libnaah, oo waxay tageen Laakiish, kolkaasay degeen meel ka soo hor jeedda oo dagaal ku qaadeen;
Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
32 oo Rabbigu wuxuu Laakiish geliyey gacantii reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuu iyana qabsaday maalintii labaad, oo dadkii ku jiray oo dhan wuxuu ku laayay seef, oo wuxuu u galay sidii uu Libnaah u galay oo kale.
On the second day of the battle, Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] the city. And like they had done at Libnah, they killed everyone [DOU] in the city.
33 Markaasaa Laakiish waxaa u soo hiiliyey boqorkii Geser oo ahaa Horaam, kolkaasaa Yashuuca laayay isagii iyo dadkiisiiba, ilaa uusan waxba ka reebin.
King Horam from Gezer [city and his army] came to help [the soldiers of] Lachish, but Joshua’s [army] defeated Horam and his army, and did not allow any of them to remain alive.
34 Markaasay Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu dhaafeen Laakiish oo waxay tageen Cegloon; kolkaasay degeen meel ka soo hor jeedda, oo dagaal ku qaadeen;
Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
35 oo maalintaasay iyana qabsadeen oo dadkii ku jiray oo dhan waxay ku laayeen seef, oo maalintaasuu wada baabbi'iyey, oo wuxuu ku sameeyey sidii uu ku sameeyey Laakiish oo kale.
On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
36 Markaasaa Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu way dhaafeen Cegloon oo waxay tageen Xebroon, wayna la dirireen,
Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
37 oo iyana way qabsadeen, oo waxay ku wada laayeen seef dadkeedii iyo boqorkeedii iyo magaalooyinkeedii oo dhan iyo dadkii ku jiray oo dhanba; waxba kama reebin, sidii uu Cegloon ku sameeyey oo kale, laakiinse wuu wada baabbi'iyey iyadii iyo dadkii ku jiray oo dhanba.
and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else, just like they had done at Eglon. They did not allow anyone to remain alive.
38 Markaasaa Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku noqdeen Debiir, oo dagaal bay ku qaadeen.
Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
39 Oo iyana wuu qabsaday, iyo boqorkeedii, iyo magaalooyinkeediiba, oo waxay ku laayeen seef, oo dadkii ku jiray oo dhanba way wada baabbi'iyeen oo waxba kama uu reebin; oo wuxuu Debiir iyo boqorkeediiba ku sameeyey siduu ku sameeyey Xebroon iyo weliba siduu markii hore ku sameeyey Libnaah iyo boqorkeediiba.
They captured the city and its king, and also captured the nearby towns. Then they killed everyone [DOU]; they did to the people there the same thing that they had done at Hebron and Libnah.
40 Sidaasuu Yashuuca u wada laayay dadkii dalkii oo dhan, kaas oo ahaa waddankii buuraha ahaa, iyo xaggii Koonfureed, iyo dooxooyinkii, iyo dhaadhacyadii, iyo xataa boqorradoodii oo dhan, oo waxba kama uu reebin; laakiinse wuu wada baabbi'iyey intii neefsanaysay oo dhan, sidii uu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ku amray.
That is how Joshua [and his army] conquered the entire southern part of Canaan. They defeated the kings [who ruled] the hilly area, the dry southern area, the [western] foothills, and the [eastern] slopes. They killed everyone [DOU] in those areas; they did not allow anyone to remain alive.
41 Oo Yashuuca wuxuu laayay iyagii ilaa Qaadeesh Barneeca iyo tan iyo Gaasa, iyo dalkii reer Goshen oo dhan, iyo xataa tan iyo Gibecoon.
Joshua’s soldiers captured all the cities from Kadesh-Barnea [city] in the far south to Gaza [city] near the coast, including all the Goshen area, and north to Gibeon [city].
42 Oo boqorradaas iyo dalkoodii oo dhan Yashuuca isku mar buu wada qabsaday, maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil baa u diriray reer binu Israa'iil.
At that one time, Joshua’s army conquered all the kings and captured all the territory that they [ruled]. They were able to do that because Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], was fighting for them.
43 Markaasaa Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ku noqdeen xeradii ku tiil Gilgaal.
Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
