< Josue 10 >

1 Ngayon narinig ni Adoni-sedec, hari ng Jerusalem na nasakop ni Josue ang Ai at tuluyang winasak ito, gaya ng ginawa niya sa Jerico at sa hari nito. At narinig nila kung paano gumawa ng kapayaapan ang bayan ng Gabaon sa Israel at namumuhay na kasama nila.
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 Ang bayan ng Jerusalem ay matindi ang takot dahil ang Gibeon ay isang napakalaking lungsod, gaya ng isa sa mga maharlikang mga lungsod. Ito ay mas malaki kaysa sa Ai, at ang lahat ng kalalakihan nito ay magigiting na mandirigma.
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 Kaya si Adoni-sedec, hari ng Jerusalem, ay nagpadala ng isang mensahe kay Oham, hari ng Hebron, kay Piram, hari ng Jarmuth, kay Japhia, hari ng Lachish, at kay Debir, hari ng Eglon:
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 Umakyat kayo sa akin at tulungan ako. Salakayin natin ang Gabaon dahil gumawa sila ng kapayapaan kay Josue at sa bayan ng Israel.”
“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 Ang limang hari ng Amoreo, ang hari ng Jerusalem, ang hari ng Hebron, ang Hari ng Jarmuth, ang hari ng Lachish, at hari ng Eglon ay umakyat, sila at lahat ng kanilang mga hukbo. Pinaghandaan nila ang kanilang kinalalagyan laban sa Gabaon, at sinalakay nila ito.
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 Ang bayan ng Gabaon ay nagpadala ng isang mensahe kay Josue at sa mga hukbo sa Gilgal. Sinabi nila, “Magmadali kayo! Huwag ninyong alisin ang inyong mga kamay sa inyong mga alipin. Umakyat kayo rito ng mabilisan at iligtas kami. Tulungan ninyo kami, dahil ang lahat ng hari ng mga Amoreo na nakatira sa maburol na bansa ay nagtipon ng sama-sama para salakayin kami.”
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 Umakyat si Josue mula sa Gilgal, siya at ang mga lalaking mandirigma, at lahat ng lumalaban na kalalakihan.
And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, and the entire army of warriors with him, very strong men.
8 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Huwag kang matakot sa kanila. Ibinigay ko sila sa inyong mga kamay. Wala isa sa kanila na makakapigil sa inyong pagsalakay.”
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 Madaling nakarating si Josue sa kanila, naglakad ng buong magdamag mula sa Gilgal.
And so Joshua, ascending from Gilgal throughout the night, rushed upon them suddenly.
10 At nilito ni Yahweh ang mga kaaway sa harap ng Israel— na kung saan napatay sila sa isang malawakang pagpatay sa Gabaon, at tinugis sila sa daan paakyat ng Beth Horon, at pinatay sila sa daan ng Azeka at Maceda.
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 Habang tumatakbo sila mula sa Israel, pababa sa burol ng Beth Horon, hinulog ni Yahweh sa kanila ang mga malalaking bato mula sa langit hanggang sa Azeka, at namatay sila. Mas marami ang namatay dahil sa mga bato kaysa sa mga napatay sa pamamagitan ng mga espada sa mga kalalakihan ng Israel.
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 Pagkatapos nakipag-usap si Josue kay Yahweh sa araw na iyon na binigyan ni Yahweh ng tagumpay ang kalalakihan ng Israel laban sa mga Amoreo. Ito ang sinabi ni Josue kay Yahweh sa harap ng Israel, “Araw, manatili sa Gabaon, at buwan, sa lambak ng Ajalon.”
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 Ang araw ay nanatili pa rin, at ang buwan tumigil sa paggalaw hanggang ang bansa ay naghiganti sa kanilang mga kaaway. Hindi ba ito nakasulat sa Ang Aklat ni Jashar? Nanatili ang araw sa gitna ng langit; hindi ito bumaba sa isang buong araw.
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 Wala pang nangyari sa anumang araw gaya ng pangyayaring ito dati o pagkatapos nito, nang sinunod ni Yahweh ang salita ng isang tao. Dahil si Yahweh ay nakikipagdigmaan sa kapakanan ng Israel.
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 Si Josue at ang buong Israel na kasama niya ay bumalik sa kampo ng Gilgal.
And Joshua returned, with all of Israel, into the camp of Gilgal.
16 Ngayon nakatakas ang limang hari at nagtago sila sa loob ng kuweba sa Maceda.
For the five kings had fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
17 Sinabi ito kay Josue, “Natagpuan sila! —ang limang hari na nagtago sa loob ng kuweba sa Maceda!”
And it was reported to Joshua that the five kings had been found hidden in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
18 Sinabi ni Josue, “Igulong ang malaking mga bato sa bukana ng kuweba at maglagay ng mga sundalo roon para bantayan sila.
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 Huwag kayong manatili roon. Tugisin ang inyong mga kaaway at salakayin sila mula sa likuran. Huwag silang pahintulutang makapasok sa loob ng kanilang mga lungsod dahil si Yahweh ang inyong Diyos ibinigay na sila sa inyong mga kamay.”
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 Si Josue at ang mga anak ni Israel ay tinapos ang pagpatau sa kanila sa isang napakatinding pagpatay, hanggang sila ay halos tuluyan ng mawasak; ilan lamang ang nakaligtas na tumakas sa mga pinatibay na mga lungsod.
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 Pagkatapos bumalik ang buong hukbo ng mapayapa kay Josue sa mga kampo sa Maceda. At walang sinuman ang nangahas magsalita ng isang salita laban sa sinumang bayan ng Israel.
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 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Josue, “Buksan ang bukana ng kuweba at mula sa kuweba dalhin sa akin ang limang haring ito.”
And Joshua instructed, saying, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forward to me the five kings, who are hidden within it.”
23 Ginawa nila gaya ng sinabi niya. Dinala nila sa kaniya ang limang hari mula sa kuweba—ang hari ng Jerusalem, ang hari ng Hebron, ang hari ng Jarmuth, ang hari ng Lachish, at ang hari ng Eglon.
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 At nang dinala nila ang mga hari kay Josue, ipinatawag niya ang bawat kalalakihan ng Israel, at sinabi niya sa mga pinuno ng mga sundalo na nakasama niya sa labanan, “Ilagay ninyo ang inyong mga paa sa kanilang mga leeg.” Kaya lumapit sila at inilagay ang kanilang mga paa sa kanilang mga leeg.
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 Pagkatapos sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag kayong matakot at huwag kayong mabagabag. Maging malakas at matapang. Ito ang gagawin ni Yahweh sa lahat ng inyong mga kaaway na kakalabanin ninyo.”
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 Pagkatapos sinalakay at pinatay ni Josue ang mga hari. Ibinitin niya sila sa ibabaw ng limang puno. Nakabitin sila sa mga puno hanggang gabi.
And Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he suspended them on five gallows. And they hung there until evening.
27 Nang palubog na ang araw, nagbigay ng mga utos si Josue, at ibinaba sila mula sa mga puno at inihagis sila sa loob ng kuweba kung saan sila nagtago. Nilagyan nila ng malalaking bato ang bukana ng kuweba. Ang mga batong iyon nanatili pa rin hanggang sa araw na ito.
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 Sa ganitong paraan, nasakop ni Josue ang Maceda sa araw na iyon at pinatay ang bawat isa gamit ang espada, kasama ang hari nito. Tuluyan niya silang winasak at bawat nabubuhay na nilalang doon. Wala siyang itinirang mga nakaligtas. Ginawa niya ito sa hari ng Maceda gaya ng ginawa niya sa hari ng Jerico.
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 Dumaan si Josue at buong Israel mula sa Maceda patungong Libna. Pumunta siya sa labanan sa Libna.
Then he went on, with all of Israel, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against it.
30 Ibinigay din ni Yahweh ito sa kamay ng Israel—kasama ang kanilang hari. Sinalakay ni Josue ang bawat nabubuhay na nilalang sa loob nito gamit ag espada. Wala siyang iniwang nakaligtas na buhay sa loob nito. Ginawa niya sa hari gaya ng ginawa niya sa hari ng Jerico.
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 Pagkatapos dumaan si Josue at ang buong Israel mula sa Libna patungong Lachish. Nagkampo siya dito at nakipagdigmaan laban dito.
From Libnah, with all of Israel, he went on to Lachish. And taking positions around it with his army, he besieged it.
32 Ibinigay ni Yahweh ang Lachish sa kamay ng Israel. Nasakop ni Josue ito ng ikalawang araw. Sinalakay niya gamit ang kaniyang espada bawat nabubuhay na nilalang na nasa loob nito, gaya ng ginawa niya sa Libna.
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 Pagkatapos dumating si Horam, hari ng Gezer para tulungan ang Lachish. Sinalakay siya ni Josue at ang kaniyang hukbo hanggang walang nakaligtas na naiwan.
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 Pagkatapos dumaan si Josue at buong Israel mula sa Lachish patungong Eglon. Nagkampo sila rito at nakipagdigmaan laban dito,
And he went on from Lachish to Eglon, and he surrounded it.
35 at nasakop ito ng parehong araw. Sinalakay nila ito gamit ang espada at tuluyan nilang winasak ang lahat dito, gaya ng ginawa ni Josue sa Lachish.
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 Pagkatapos dumaan si Josue at buong Israel mula sa Eglon patungong Hebron. Nakipagdigmaan sila laban dito.
He also ascended, with all of Israel, from Eglon into Hebron, and he fought against it.
37 Nasakop nila ito at sinalakay gamit ang espada ang lahat dito, kasama ang hari at ang lahat ng mga nayon na nakapalibot dito. Tuluyan nilang winasak ang bawat buhay na nilalang dito, walang iniwang nakaligtas, gaya ng ginawa ni Josue sa Eglon. Tuluyan niyang winasak ito, at ang bawat buhay na nilalang dito.
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 Pagkatapos bumalik si Josue, at ang buong hukbo ni Israel na kasama niya, at dumaan sila sa Debir at nakipagdigmaan laban dito.
Returning from there to Debir,
39 Nasakop niya ito at ang hari, at ang lahat ng mga katabing nayon nito. Sinalakay nila ang mga ito gamit ang espada at tuluyang winasak ang bawat nabubuhay na nilalang dito. Hindi nag-iwan ng mga nakaligtas si Josue, gaya ng ginawa niya sa Hebron at ang hari nito, gaya ng ginawa niya sa Libnah at ang hari nito.
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 Nasakop ni Josue ang lahat ng lupain, ang maburol na bansa, ang Negev, ang mga kapatagan, at ang mga mababang burol. Sa lahat ng kanilang mga hari wala siyang iniwang nakaligtas. Tuluyan niyang winasak ang bawat nabubuhay na bagay, gaya ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, na iniutos.
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 Sinalakay sila ni Josuegamit ang espada mula Kades Barnea hanggang Gaza, at lahat ng bansa sa Gosen hanggang Gabaon.
from Kadesh-barnea, as far as Gaza, with all the land of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.
42 Nasakop ni Josue ang lahat ng mga haring ito at ang kanilang lupain sa isang iglap dahil si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, nakipaglaban para sa Israel.
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 Pagkatapos si Josue, at ang lahat ng Israel kasama niya, ay bumalik kampo sa Gilgal.
And he returned, with all of Israel, to the place of the encampment at Gilgal.
