Siosiua 10
1 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻe ʻAtoni-Seteki ko e tuʻi ʻo Selūsalema kuo maʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻa ʻAi, pea kuo ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia; hangē ko ia naʻa ne fai ki Seliko mo hono tuʻi, kuo pehē pe ʻene fai ki ʻAi mo hono tuʻi: pea koeʻuhi kuo fakalelei mo ʻIsileli ʻae kakai ʻo Kipione, pea kuo nau nonofo;
When Adonisedec king of Jerusalem had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai, and its king, ) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates,
2 Naʻa nau manavahē lahi ai, he koeʻuhi ko e kolo lahi ʻa Kipione, ʻo hangē ha kolo ʻoe houʻeiki, pea koeʻuhi naʻe lahi ia ʻia ʻAi, pea ko e kau tangata kotoa pē ʻi ai ko e kau mālohi.
He was exceedingly afraid. For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant.
3 Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe ʻAtoni-Seteki ko e tuʻi ʻo Selūsalema kia Hoami ko e tuʻi ʻa Hepeloni, pea kia Pilami ko e tuʻi ʻo Samuti, pea kia Safia ko e tuʻi ʻo Lakisi, pea kia Tipa ko e tuʻi ʻo Ekeloni, ʻo pehē,
Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:
4 “Mou haʻu ni kiate au, ʻo tokoni au, koeʻuhi ke tau taaʻi ʻa Kipione: he kuo fakalelei ia mo Siosiua pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Josue, and to the children of Israel.
5 Ko ia, ko e tuʻi ʻe toko nima ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ko e tuʻi ʻo Selūsalema, ko e tuʻi ʻo Hepeloni, ko e tuʻi ʻo Samuti, ko e tuʻi ʻo Lakisi, ko e tuʻi ʻo Ekeloni, naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻalu hake, ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau tau kotoa pē, ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Kipione, ko honau tauʻi ia.
So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it.
6 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Kipione kia Siosiua ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali, ʻo pehē; “ʻOua naʻa ke fakatuai ho nima mei hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki; ka ke ʻalu vave hake kiate kimautolu, ʻo fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu, pea tokoniʻi ʻakimautolu: he ko e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe kau ʻAmoli ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga kuo nau kātoa kiate kimautolu ko homau tauʻi.”
But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.
7 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Siosiua mei Kilikali, ʻa ia, mo e kakai tau kotoa pē mo ia, mo e kau tangata mālohi kotoa pē mo e toʻa.
And Josue went up from Galgal, and all the army of the warriors with him, most valiant men.
8 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu: he kuo u tukuange ʻakinautolu ki ho nima: ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu te ne tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao.”
And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee.
9 Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻo hoko fakafokifā pē ʻa Siosiua kiate kinautolu, ʻo ʻalu hake ʻi he poʻuli mei Kilikali.
So Josue going up from Galgal all the night, came upon them suddenly.
10 Pea naʻe veuveuki ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he tā lahi ʻi Kipione, pea tuli ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala ʻoku ʻalu hake ki Pete-holoni, pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki ʻAseka, pea ki Maketa.
And the Lord troubled them at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda.
11 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau hola mei he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ʻi he hala ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki Pete-holoni, naʻe lī hifo ai ʻe Sihova mei langi, ʻae ngaahi maka lahi kiate kinautolu ʻo aʻu ki ʻAseka, pea naʻa nau mate ai: naʻe tokolahi hake ʻakinautolu naʻe mate ʻi he ʻuha maka ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae heletā.
And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel.
12 Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Siosiua kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻe tukuange ai ʻe Sihova ʻae kau ʻAmoli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē, “Laʻā, ke ke tuʻumaʻu koe ki Kipione; pea ko koe, māhina, ʻi he teleʻa ʻo ʻAsaloni.”
Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon.
13 Pea naʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae laʻā, pea naʻe tatali pe ʻae māhina, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae fai totongi ʻe he kakai ki honau fili. ʻIkai kuo tohi ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he tohi ʻa Sesa? Pea ko ia naʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae laʻā ʻi he loto langi, pea naʻe ʻikai fakavave ke ʻalu hifo ia ʻi hono tatau nai mo e ʻaho kotoa.
And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day.
14 Pea naʻe ʻikai ha ʻaho ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa pe kimui ʻo ia, koeʻuhi ke tokanga ʻa Sihova ki he leʻo ʻoe tangata: he naʻe tau ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli.
There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.
15 Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali.
And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.
16 Ka naʻe hola ʻae kau tuʻi ʻe toko nima ni, ʻo [nau ]fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻana ʻi Maketa.
For the five kings were fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.
17 Pea naʻe tala kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻilo ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko nima kuo nau fufū ʻi he ʻana ʻi Maketa.”
And it was told Josue that the five kings were found hidden in a cave of the city of Maceda.
18 Pea pehē ʻe Siosiua, “Tekaʻi ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi ki he ngutu ʻana, pea fakanofo ki ai ʻae kau tangata ke leʻohi ʻakinautolu:
And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men, to keep them shut up:
19 Pea ʻoua naʻa mou tatali, kae tuli ki homou ngaahi fili, pea taaʻi honau muifononga; ʻoua naʻa mou tuku ʻakinautolu ke hū ki heʻenau ngaahi kolo: he kuo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ki homou nima.”
And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands to shelter themselves in their cities.
20 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi hono taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he tāmateʻi lahi ʻaupito, kenau ʻauha ai, naʻe hū ʻakinautolu naʻe hao ki he ngaahi kolo mālohi.
So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities.
21 Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he ʻapitanga kia Siosiua ʻi Maketa ʻi he fiemālie: naʻe ʻikai lea kovi ha tokotaha ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.
22 Pea toki pehē ai ʻe Siosiua, “Toʻo ʻae ngutu ʻana, ʻo ʻomi ʻae tuʻi naʻe toko nima kiate au mei he ʻana.”
And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.
23 Pea naʻa nau fai ia, ʻo ʻomi kituʻa kiate ia ʻae tuʻi ko ia ʻe toko nima mei he ʻana, ko e tuʻi ʻo Selūsalema, mo e tuʻi ʻo Hepeloni, mo e tuʻi ʻo Samuti, mo e tuʻi ʻo Lakisi, mo e tuʻi ʻo Ekeloni.
And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.
24 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi na kia Siosiua, naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ki he kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pehē ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe kautau ʻaia naʻe ʻalu mo ia, Mou ʻunuʻunu mai, pea ʻai homou vaʻe ki he kia ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ni. Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu mai pea naʻe ʻai honau vaʻe ki honau kia.
And when they were Drought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them,
25 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa mou lilika, ka mou mālohi, pea lototoʻa: he koeʻuhi ʻe fai pehē pē ʻe Sihova ki homou ngaahi fili ʻaia ʻoku mou tauʻi.”
He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.
26 Pea hili ia naʻe taaʻi ʻe Siosiua ʻakinautolu, ʻo tāmateʻi, pea ne tautau ʻakinautolu ki he ʻakau ʻe nima: pea naʻe tautau ai pe ʻakinautolu ki he ʻakau ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
And Josue struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets, and they hung until the evening.
27 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he feituʻu efiafi ʻoe tō ʻae laʻā, naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua, pea naʻa nau tuku hifo ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi ʻakau, pea naʻe lī ʻakinautolu ki he ʻana ʻaia naʻe fufū ai ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe hili ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi ki he ngutu ʻana, pea ʻoku kei ai ni.
And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day.
28 Pea naʻe kapa ʻe Siosiua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻa Maketa, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, mo e tuʻi ʻo ia naʻa ne fakaʻauha, ʻakinautolu, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha tokotaha ke toe pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Maketa ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai ki he tuʻi ʻo Seliko.
The same day Josue took Maceda and destroyed it, with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Siosiua mei Maketa, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Lipina, ʻo ne tauʻi ʻa Lipina:
And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it:
30 Pea naʻe tukuange foki ia ʻe Sihova, mo hono tuʻi ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ne taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha niʻihi ke toe ʻi ai ka naʻe fai ki hono tuʻi ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ki he tuʻi ʻo Seliko.
And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua mei Lipina, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Lakisi, ʻo ne ʻapitanga ki ai, ʻo ne tauʻi ia:
From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it.
32 Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻa Lakisi ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne kapa ia ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ki Lipina.
And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna.
33 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Holami ko e tuʻi ʻo Kesa ke tokoni ʻa Lakisi; pea taaʻi ia ʻe Siosiua mo hono kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha niʻihi kiate ia ke toe.
At that time Horam king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and Josue slew him with all his people, so as to leave none alive.
34 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua mei Lakisi ki Ekeloni, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia pea nau ʻapitanga ki ai, ʻo tauʻi ia:
And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it,
35 Pea naʻa nau lavaʻi ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻo taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, naʻa ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ki Lakisi.
And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis.
36 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua mei Ekeloni, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Hepeloni pea nau tauʻi ia;
He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it:
37 Pea nau lavaʻi ia, ʻo taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, mo hono tuʻi, mo hono ngaahi kolo, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai: naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha niʻihi ke toe, kae hangē ko ia naʻa ne fai ki Ekeloni; naʻe fakaʻauha ʻaupito ia, mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai.
Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it.
38 Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Tipa; ʻo tauʻi ia:
Returning from thence to Dabir,
39 Pea naʻa ne lavaʻi ia, mo hono tuʻi, mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻi ai; pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea fakaʻauha ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai; naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha niʻihi ke toe: hangē ko ia naʻa ne fai ki Hepeloni, naʻe pehē ʻene fai ki Tipa, pea ki hono tuʻi; hangē ko ia foki naʻa ne fai ki Lipina, pea ki hono tuʻi.
He took it and destroyed it: the king also thereof and all the towns round about he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna and to their kings, so did he to Dabir and to the king thereof.
40 Naʻe pehē ʻae taaʻi ʻe Siosiua ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, pea mo e potu tonga, pea mo e tafangafanga, mo e ngaahi matavai, pea mo honau ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē: naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha niʻihi ke toe, ka naʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mānava, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
So Josue conquered all the country of the hills and of the south and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord the God of Israel had commanded him,
41 Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua mei Ketesi-pania ʻo aʻu ki Kesa, mo e fonua kotoa pē ʻo Koseni ʻo aʻu ki Kipione.
From Cadesbarne even to Gaza. All the land of Gosen even to Gabaon,
42 Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻi ni mo honau fonua naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻi he kuonga pe taha, he ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli naʻa ne tau maʻa ʻIsileli.
And all their kings, and their lands he took and wasted at one onset: for the Lord the God of Israel fought for him.
43 Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali.
And he returned with all Israel to the place of the camp in Galgal.
