< Joshua 10 >

1 Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them;
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;
2 He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war.
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.
3 So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
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,
4 Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.
“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.”
5 So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it.
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.
6 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.
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.”
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.
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.
8 And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before you.
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.”
9 So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻo hoko fakafokifā pē ʻa Siosiua kiate kinautolu, ʻo ʻalu hake ʻi he poʻuli mei Kilikali.
10 And the Lord made them full of fear before Israel, and they put great numbers of them to death at Gibeon, and went after them by the way going up to Beth-horon, driving them back to Azekah and Makkedah
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.
11 And in their flight before Israel, on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword.
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.
12 It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.
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.”
13 And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day.
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.
14 And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting for Israel.
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.
15 And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali.
16 But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
Ka naʻe hola ʻae kau tuʻi ʻe toko nima ni, ʻo [nau ]fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻana ʻi Maketa.
17 And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
Pea naʻe tala kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻilo ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko nima kuo nau fufū ʻi he ʻana ʻi Maketa.”
18 And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:
Pea pehē ʻe Siosiua, “Tekaʻi ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi ki he ngutu ʻana, pea fakanofo ki ai ʻae kau tangata ke leʻohi ʻakinautolu:
19 But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.
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.”
20 Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,
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.
21 All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.
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.
22 Then Joshua said, Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock, and make those five kings come out to me.
Pea toki pehē ai ʻe Siosiua, “Toʻo ʻae ngutu ʻana, ʻo ʻomi ʻae tuʻi naʻe toko nima kiate au mei he ʻana.”
23 And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
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.
24 And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.
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.
25 And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war.
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.”
26 Then Joshua had them put to death, hanging them on five trees, where they were till evening.
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.
27 And when the sun went down, they were taken down from the trees, by Joshua's orders, and put into the hole where they had gone to be safe; and great stones were placed at the mouth of the hole, where they are to this day.
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.
28 That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
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.
29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Siosiua mei Maketa, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Lipina, ʻo ne tauʻi ʻa Lipina:
30 And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
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.
31 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on it,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua mei Lipina, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Lakisi, ʻo ne ʻapitanga ki ai, ʻo ne tauʻi ia:
32 And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah.
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.
33 Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to the help of Lachish; and Joshua overcame him and his people, putting all of them to death.
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.
34 And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on it;
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua mei Lakisi ki Ekeloni, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia pea nau ʻapitanga ki ai, ʻo tauʻi ia:
35 And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, as he had done to Lachish.
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.
36 And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it;
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosiua mei Ekeloni, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Hepeloni pea nau tauʻi ia;
37 And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it.
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.
38 And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir;
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki Tipa; ʻo tauʻi ia:
39 And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king.
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.
40 So Joshua overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.
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.
41 Joshua overcame them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua mei Ketesi-pania ʻo aʻu ki Kesa, mo e fonua kotoa pē ʻo Koseni ʻo aʻu ki Kipione.
42 And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.
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.
43 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, ki he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali.
