< Yoshua 10 >

1 Ikawa Adonizedeki, mfalme wa Yerusalemu, alisikia kuwa Yoshua ameiteka Ai na ameiteketeza kabisa, kama alivyokwisha kufaya huko Yeriko na mfalme wake. Na alisikia jinsi ambavyo watu wa Gibeoni walivyofanya amani na watu wa Israeli na walikuwa wanaishi miongoni mwao.
And whanne Adonysedech, kyng of Jerusalem, hadde herde these thingis, that is, that Josue hadde take Hai, and hadde destried it; for as Josue hadde do to Jerico and to the kyng therof, so he dide to Hay, and to the kyng therof; and that Gabaonytis hadden fled to Israel, and weren boundun in pees with hem,
2 Watu wa Yerusalemu waliogopa sana kwasababu Gibeoni ulikuwa mji mkubwa, kama mmoja wa miji ya kifalme. Ilikuwa kubwa kuliko Ai, na watu wake wote walikuwa ni mashujaa wenye nguvu.
Adonysedech dredde greetli; for Gabaon was a greet citee, and oon of the kyngis citees, and grettere than the citee of Hai, and alle the fiyteris therof weren most stronge.
3 Hivyo Adonizedeki, mfalme wa Yerusalemu, alituma ujumbe kwa Hohamu, mfalme wa Hebroni, na kwa Piramu, mfalme wa Yarimuthi, na kwaYafia, mfalme wa Lakishi, na kwa Debiri, mfalme wa Eguloni:
Therfor Adonysedech, kyng of Jerusalem, sente to Ocham, kyng of Ebron, and to Pharam, kyng of Herymoth, and to Japhie, kyng of Lachis, and to Dabir, kyng of Eglon, and seide,
4 “Njooni kwangu na mnisaidie. Tuishambulie Gibeoni kwasababu wamefanya amani na Yoshua pamoja na watu wa Israeli.
Stie ye to me, and helpe ye, that we fiyte ayens Gabaon, for it was yoldun to Josue, and to the sones of Israel.
5 Wafalme watano wa Waamori; mfalme wa Yerusalemu, mfalme wa Hebroni, mfalme wa Yarimuthi, mfalme wa Lakishi, na mfalme wa Eguloni walikwea, wao pamoja na majeshi yao yote. Walipanga sehemu yao kinyume na Wagibeoni na waliwashambulia.
Therfor fyue kyngis of Ammorreis, the kyng of Jerusalem, the kyng of Ebron, the kyng of Herymoth, the kyng of Lachis, the kyng of Eglon, weren gaderid, and stieden togidere with her oostis; and settiden tentis ayens Gabaon, and fouyten ayens it.
6 Watu wa Gibeoni walituma ujumbe kwa Yoshua na kwa jeshi huko Giligali. Walisema, “Upesi! Msiuondoa mkono wenu kutoka kwa watumishi wenu. Kwaeni mje haraka na mtuokoe. Mtusaide, maana wafalme wote wa Waamori wanaoishi katika nchi ya milima wamekusanyika kwa pamoja ili watushambulie.
Sotheli the dwelleris of the citee of Gabaon, `that weren bisegid, senten to Josue, that dwellide than in tentis at Galgala, and seide to hym, Withdrawe not thin hondis fro the help of thi seruauntis; `stie thou soone, and delyuere vs, and helpe thou; for alle the kyngis of Amorreis, that dwelliden in the hilli places, camen togidere ayens vs.
7 “Yoshua alipanda kutoka Giligali, yeye na watu wote wa vita pamoja naye, na watu wote wapiganaji.
And Josue stiede fro Galgala, and al the oost of fiyters, `the strengeste men, `with hym.
8 Yahweh akamwambia Yoshua, “Usiwaogope. Nimewatiwa wote katika mkono wako. Hakuna hata mmoja wao atakayeweza kuzuia mashambulizi yako.”
And the Lord seide to Josue, Drede thou not hem, for Y yaf hem in to thin hondis; noon of hem schal mow ayenstonde thee.
9 Baada ya kutembea usiku kucha kutoka Giligali, ghafla Yoshua aliwafikilia.
Therfor Josue felde sodenli on hem, and stiede in al the nyyt fro Galgala;
10 Na Yahweh alichanganya maadui mbele za Israeli - ambao waliwaua mauaji makubwa mno huko Gibeoni, na wale waliowafuata njiani iendayo Bethi Horoni, nao waliuwaua katika njia iendayo Azeka na Makeda.
and the Lord `disturblide hem fro the face of Israel, and al to-brak with greet veniaunce in Gabaon. And Josue pursuede hem bi the weie of the stiyng of Betheron, and smoot `til to Azecha and Maceda.
11 Na walipokuwa wakikimbia mbio kutoka kwa Waisraeli, chini ya mlima kutoka Bethi Horoni, Yahweh alitupa mawe makubwa kutoka mbinguni juu yao wote katika njia iendayo Azeka, nao wakafa. Watu waliouawa kwa mawe walikuwa ni wengi zaidi kuliko wale waliouawa kwa upanga wa watu wa Israeli.
And whanne thei fledden the sones of Israel, and weren in the goyng doun of Betheron, the Lord sente grete stoonus on hem fro heuene, til to Azecha; and many mo weren deed bi the `stoonys of hail, than thei whiche the sones of Israel `smytiden bi swerd.
12 Kisha Yoshua akamwambia Yahweh katika siku ambayo Yahweh aliwapa watu wa Israeli ushindi dhidi ya Waamori. Hiki ndicho Yoshua alichosema kwa Yahweh mbele ya Israeli. “Jua lisimame katika Gibeoni, na mwezi, usimame katika bonde la Aijaloni.”
Thanne Josue spak to the Lord, in the dai in which he bitook Amorrey in the siyt of the sones of Israel; and Josue seide bifore hem, Sunne, be thou not mouyd ayens Gabaon, and the moone ayens the valei of Hailon.
13 Jua lilisimama, na mwezi ukaacha kwenda mpaka taifa lilipolipiza kisasi dhidi ya maadui zao. Je hili halikuandikwa katika Kitabu cha Yashari? Jua lilikaa katikati ya anga; halilkuzama kwa siku nzima hivi.
And the sunne and the moone stoden, til the folc of God vengide it silf of hise enemyes. Whether this is not writun in the book of iust men? And so the sunne stood in the myddis of heuene, and hastide not to go doun in the space of o dai; so long a dai was not bifore and aftirward;
14 Haijawahi kutokea siku nyingine kama hiyo kabla au baada yake, wakati Yahweh alipotii sauti ya mtu. Kwa kuwa Yahweh alikuwa akifanya vita badala ya Israeli.
for the Lord obeiede to the vois of man, and fauyt for Israel.
15 Yoshua na Israeli yote pamoja naye walirudi kambini huko Giligali.
And Josue turnede ayen, with al Israel, in to the tentis of Galgala.
16 Basi wale wafalme watano walikuwa wametoroka na kujificha wao wenyewe katika pango huko Makeda.
Forsothe fyue kyngis fledden, and hidden hem silf in the denne of the citee of Maceda.
17 Taarifa zilimfikia Yoshua kusema, “Wafalme watano wamepatikana wamejificha katika pango huko Makeda!”
And it was teld to Josue, that fyue kyngis weren foundun hid in the denne of the citee of Maceda.
18 Yoshua akasema, “Viringisheni mawe makubwa katika mlango wa pango na muweke wanajeshi hapo ili kuwalinda.
Which Josue comaundide to felowis, and seide, Walewe ye grete stoonus to the `mouth of the denne, and putte ye witti men, that schulen kepe the closid kyngis; sotheli nyle ye stonde,
19 Msibaki na kukaa nyie wenyewe. Bali wafuatilieni maadui zenu na kuwashumbulia kutokea kwa nyuma. Msiwaruhusu kuingia katika miji yao, kwa kuwa Yahweh Mungu wenu amewatia katika mkono wenu.”
but pursue ye the enemyes, and slee ye alle the laste of fleeris; and suffre ye not hem entre in to the strengthis of her citees, whiche enemyes youre Lord God bitook in to youre hondis.
20 Yoshua na wana Waisraeli walikuwa wamemaliza kuwaua kwa mauaji makubwa sana, mpaka pale walipokuwa wameteketezwa kabisa; watu wachache tu walipona waliotoroka walifika miji ya ngome.
Therfor whanne the aduersaries weren betun with greet veniaunce, and weren almost wastid `til to deeth, thei that myyten fle Israel, entriden in to the strengthid citees.
21 Kisha jeshi lote lilirudi kwa Yoshua likiwa na amani katika kambi huko Makeda. Na hakuna hata mmoja aliyethubutu kusema hata neno moja kinyume na watu wa Israeli.
And al the oost turnede ayen hoole, and in hoole noumbre to Josue, in to Maceda, where the tentis weren thanne; and no man was hardi to grutche, `ether to make priuy noise, ayens the sones of Israel.
22 Kisha Yoshua akasema, “Fungueni mlango wa pango, watoeni nje na waleteni kwangu hawa wafalme watano.”
And Josue comaundide, and seide, Opene ye the `mouth of the denne, and brynge forth to me the fyue kyngis that ben hid therynne.
23 Walifanya kama Yoshua alivyosema. Waliwaleta wafalme watano kutoka katika pango - mfalme wa Yerusalemu, mfalme wa Hebroni, mfalme wa Yarmuthi, mfalme wa Lakishi na mfalme wa Egloni.
And the mynystris diden, as it was comaundid to hem; and thei brouyten forth to Josue fyue kyngis fro the denne; the kyng of Jerusalem, the kyng of Ebron, the kyng of Herymoth, the kyng of Lachis, the kyng of Eglon.
24 Na walipowaleta wafalme kwa Yoshua, alimwita kila mtu wa Israeli, na aliwaambia maakida wa wanajeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani pamoja naye “Kanyageni miguu yenu juu ya shingo zao.” Basi walikuja na kukanyaga miguu yao juu ya shingo zao.
And whanne thei weren led out to Josue, he clepide alle the men of Israel, and seide to the princes of the oost, that weren with hym, Go ye, and sette youre feet on the neckis of these kyngis. And whanne thei hadden go, and trediden the neckis of `the kyngis suget `to her feet,
25 Kisha akawaambia, 'Msiogope wala kufadhaika. uwe na moyo mkuu na jasiri. Na hiki ndicho Mungu atakachokifanya kwa maadui wenu wote ambao mtapigana nao'.
eft Josue seide to hem, Nyle ye drede, nethir `drede ye with ynne, be ye coumfortid, and be ye stronge; for the Lord schal do so to alle youre enemyes, ayens whiche ye schulen fiyte.
26 Kisha Yoshua akawashambulia na kuwaua wafalme. Aliwatundika wote watano juu ya miti. Waliwatundika juu ya miti hata jioni.
And Josue smoot, and killide hem, and hangide on fyue trees; and thei weren hangid `til to euentid.
27 Ilipokuwa jioni, Yoshua alitoa maagizo, nao waliwashusha chini ya miti na kisha wakawatupa katika pango ambalo walikuwa wamejificha wao wenyewe. Waliweka mawe makubwa juu ya mlango wa pango. Mawe hayo yapo pale hadi leo hii.
And whanne the sunne yede doun, he comaundide to felowis, that thei schulden put hem doun fro the iebatis; and whanne thei weren put doun, thei `castiden forth hem in to the denne, in which thei weren hid; and thei puttiden grete stoonus on the mouth therof, whiche stoonus dwellen `til to present tyme.
28 Na kwa namna hii, katika siku hiyo Yoshua aliuteka mji wa Makeda na aliwaua watu wote huko kwa upanga, pamoja na mfalme wake. Aliwateketeza wote kabisa pamoja na kila kiumbe hai kilichokuwa huko. Hakuna hata mmoja aliyesalia. Alichomfanyia mfalme wa Makeda ni sawa sawa na kile alichokuwa amemfanyia mfalme wa Yeriko.
In the same dai Josue took also Maceda, and smoot bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and killide the kyng therof, and alle the dwelleris therof; he lefte not therynne, nameli, litle relikis; and he dide to the kyng of Maceda as he hadde do to the kyng of Jerico.
29 Yoshua na Israeli wote waliipita Makeda na kufika Libna. Na huko waliingia katika vita dhidi ya Libna.
Forsothe Josue passide with al Israel fro Maceda in to Lempna, and fauyt ayens it,
30 Yahweh pia aliitia katika mkono wa Israeli pamoja na mfalme wake. Yoshua alishambulia kila kiumbe hai ndani yake kwa upanga. Hakuacha hai hata mtu mmoja. Alichomfanyia mfalme ni sawa sawa na kile alichokuwa amemfanyia mfalme wa Yeriko.
which the Lord bitook, with the kyng therof, in the hond of Israel; and thei smytiden the citee bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and alle the dwelleris therof, and leften not ony relikis therynne; and thei diden to the kyng of Lempna as thei hadden do to the kyng of Jerico.
31 Baadaye Yoshua na Israeli wote pamoja naye walipanda kutoka Libna na kwenda Lakishi. Alipiga kambi karibu yake na wakafanya vita dhidi yake.
Fro Lempna he passide with al Israel in to Lachis; and whanne the oost was disposid bi cumpas, he fauyt ayens it.
32 Yahweh aliitia Lakishi katika mkono wa Israeli. Yoshua aliiteka katika siku ya pili. Alishambulia kwa upanga kilia kiumbe hai kilichokuwa ndani yake, kama vile aliyokuwa amefanya huko Libna.
And the Lord bitook Lachis in the hond of the sones of Israel; and he took it in the tothir dai, and smoot bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and ech man, that was therynne, as he hadde do to Lempna.
33 Kisha Horamu, mfalme wa Gezeri alikwea ili kuisaida Lakishi. Yoshua alimshambulia yeye na jeshi lake mpaka pale ambapo hapakuwa na mtu hata mmoja aliyesalia.
In that time Yram, kyng of Gazar, stiede to helpe Lachis; whom Josue smoot, with al his puple, til to deeth.
34 Baada ya hapo, Yoshua na Israeli wote walitoka Lakishi na kwenda Egloni. Walipiga kambi karibu yake na kisha wakafanya vita dhidi yake,
And he passide fro Lachis in to Eglon,
35 na siku hiyo hiyo wakaiteka. Waliupiga kwa upanga na waliteketeza kila mtu ndani yake kama vile Yoshua alivyofanya huko Lakishi.
and cumpasside, and ouercam it in the same dai; and he smoot bi the scharpnesse of swerd alle men that weren therynne, bi alle thingis whiche he hadde do to Lachis.
36 Kisha Joshua na Israeli wote wakatoka Egloni na kwenda Hebroni. Wakainua vita dhidi yake.
Also he stiede with al Israel fro Eglon in to Ebron, and fauyt ayens it,
37 Waliuteka mji na kuwaua kwa upanga watu wote ndani yake pamoja na mfalme wake, kujumuisha na vijiji vyote vilivyoizunguka. Waliteketeza kabisa kila kiumbe hai ndani yake, hawakuacha hata mtu mmoja aliyesalia, ni sawa sawa na vile Yoshua alivyoitenda Egloni. Aliiteketeza kabisa, na kila kiumbe hai ndani yake.
and took, and smoot bi the scharpnesse of swerd; and the kyng therof, and alle citees of that cuntrey, and alle men that dwelliden therynne; he lefte not ony relikis therynne; as he hadde do to Eglon so he dide also to Ebron, and wastide bi swerd alle thingis that weren therynne.
38 Baada ya hapo, Yoshua alirudi pamoja na jeshi lote la Israeli pamoja naye, wakasafiri kwenda Debiri na kufanya vita dhidi yake.
Fro thennus he turnyde in to Dabir, and took it, and wastide;
39 Aliuteka mji na mfalme wake, pamoja na vijiji vyake vya jirani. Waliwaua wote kwa upanga na waliteketeza kila kiumbe hai ndani yake. Joshua hakuacha hata mmoja hai, kama alivyokuwa amefanya kwa Hebroni na mfalme wake, na kama alivyokuwa amefanya kwa Libna na mfalme wake.
and he smoot bi the scharpnesse of swerd the kyng therof, and alle tounnes `bi cumpas; he lefte not ony relikis therynne; as he hadde do to Ebron, and to Lempna, and to `the kyngis of tho, so he dide to Dabir, and to the kyng therof.
40 Yoshua aliishinda nchi yote, nchi ya milima, Negevu, nchi, nchi ya tambarare na nchi ya miteremko. Hakuna hata mfalme moja aliyebaki hai kati ya wafalme wake wote. Kwa kweli aliteketeza kila kiumbe hai, kama ambavyo Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli alivyomwaagiza.
And so Josue smoot al the `lond of the hillis, and of the south, and `of the feeld, and Asedoch with her kyngis; he lefte not therynne ony relikis, but he killide al thing that myyte brethe, as the Lord God of Israel comaundide to hym;
41 Yoshua aliwaua kwa upanga kutoka Kadeshi Barnea hadi Gaza, na nchi yote ya Gosheni hata Gibeoni.
fro Cades Barne `til to Gazan, and al the lond of Jesson, `til to Gabaon Josue took,
42 Yoshua aliwateka wafalme wote hawa na nchi zao kwa wakati mmoja, kwasababu Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli, alipigana kwa ajili ya Israeli.
and wastide with o fersnesse alle the kyngis, and `cuntreis of hem; for the Lord God of Israel fauyt for hym.
43 Baada ya hayo Yoshua na Waisraeli wote pamoja naye, walirudi katika kambi huko Gilgali.
And he turnede ayen with al Israel to the place of tentis in Galgala.
