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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 Umakyat kayo sa akin at tulungan ako. Salakayin natin ang Gabaon dahil gumawa sila ng kapayapaan kay Josue at sa bayan ng Israel.”
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 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.
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 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.”
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 Umakyat si Josue mula sa Gilgal, siya at ang mga lalaking mandirigma, at lahat ng lumalaban na kalalakihan.
So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
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.”
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 Madaling nakarating si Josue sa kanila, naglakad ng buong magdamag mula sa Gilgal.
Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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 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 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.
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 Si Josue at ang buong Israel na kasama niya ay bumalik sa kampo ng Gilgal.
After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
16 Ngayon nakatakas ang limang hari at nagtago sila sa loob ng kuweba sa Maceda.
While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
17 Sinabi ito kay Josue, “Natagpuan sila! —ang limang hari na nagtago sa loob ng kuweba sa Maceda!”
Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
18 Sinabi ni Josue, “Igulong ang malaking mga bato sa bukana ng kuweba at maglagay ng mga sundalo roon para bantayan sila.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Josue, “Buksan ang bukana ng kuweba at mula sa kuweba dalhin sa akin ang limang haring ito.”
Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
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.
So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and 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.
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 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.”
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 Pagkatapos sinalakay at pinatay ni Josue ang mga hari. Ibinitin niya sila sa ibabaw ng limang puno. Nakabitin sila sa mga puno hanggang gabi.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Dumaan si Josue at buong Israel mula sa Maceda patungong Libna. Pumunta siya sa labanan sa Libna.
That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked 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.
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 Pagkatapos dumaan si Josue at ang buong Israel mula sa Libna patungong Lachish. Nagkampo siya dito at nakipagdigmaan laban dito.
Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked 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.
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 Pagkatapos dumating si Horam, hari ng Gezer para tulungan ang Lachish. Sinalakay siya ni Josue at ang kaniyang hukbo hanggang walang nakaligtas na naiwan.
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 Pagkatapos dumaan si Josue at buong Israel mula sa Lachish patungong Eglon. Nagkampo sila rito at nakipagdigmaan laban dito,
Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked 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.
On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
36 Pagkatapos dumaan si Josue at buong Israel mula sa Eglon patungong Hebron. Nakipagdigmaan sila laban dito.
Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
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.
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 Pagkatapos bumalik si Josue, at ang buong hukbo ni Israel na kasama niya, at dumaan sila sa Debir at nakipagdigmaan laban dito.
Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
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.
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 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.
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 Sinalakay sila ni Josuegamit ang espada mula Kades Barnea hanggang Gaza, at lahat ng bansa sa Gosen hanggang Gabaon.
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 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.
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 Pagkatapos si Josue, at ang lahat ng Israel kasama niya, ay bumalik kampo sa Gilgal.
Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
