< Yoswa 10 >

1 Adonizedeki kabaka wa Yerusaalemi bwe yawulira nga Yoswa awambye Ayi era ng’akizikiririzza ddala nga bwe yakola Yeriko ne kabaka waayo, era bwe yawulira nti abantu b’omu Gibyoni bakoze endagaano y’emirembe n’Abayisirayiri era nga kaakano babeera nabo,
Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
2 Adonizedeki n’atya nnyo kubanga Gibyoni kyali kibuga gagadde ng’ebibuga bya bakabaka bwe byali, nga kisingira ddala Ayi ate nga n’abasajja baamu bakirimaanyi.
That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
3 Bw’atyo Adonizedeki kabaka wa Yerusaalemi n’atumira bakabaka bano: Kokamu ow’e Kebbulooni, ne Piramu ow’e Yalamusi, ne Yafiya ow’e Lakisi ne Debiri ow’e Eguloni n’abagamba nti,
Why Adonizedec 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,
4 “Mujje munziruukirire tuzikirize ekibuga Gibyoni kubanga abantu baamu bakoze endagaano y’emirembe ne Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri.”
Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
5 Bwe batyo bakabaka abataano Abamoli, n’ow’e Yerusaalemi, n’ow’e Kebbulooni, n’ow’e Yalamusi, n’ow’e Lakisi n’owe Eguloni ne beekobaana ne bayungula amaggye gaabwe ne bagakuluumulula ne balumba Gibyoni.
Therefore 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, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
6 Abasajja b’omu Gibyoni ne batumira Yoswa mu lusiisira e Girugaali ne bamugamba nti, “Totulekulira basajja bo, yanguwako otudduukirire kubanga bakabaka bonna Abamoli ababeera eyo mu gasozi beekobaanye okututabaala.”
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
7 Bw’atyo Yoswa n’ava e Girugaali n’abasajja be abalwanyi ba nnamige.
So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
8 Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Tobatya kubanga bonna mbagabudde mu mukono gwo, teri n’omu ku bo anaalama.”
And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into your hand; there shall not a man of them stand before you.
9 Yoswa n’abasajja be ne bakeesa obudde nga batambula okuva e Girugaali ne balyoka bagwa ku b’Amoli ekiyiifuyiifu.
Joshua therefore came to them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
10 Mukama n’abaleetera okutya mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri ne babatta olutta lunene nnyo e Gibyoni ne babafubutula okubambusa e Besukolooni, ne bagenda nga babatta okuyitira ddala e Azeka okutuuka e Makkeda.
And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goes up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.
11 Bwe baali badduka Abayisirayiri nga bavuunuka Besukolooni, Mukama n’abasuulako amayinja amanene ag’omuzira okutuukira ddala mu Azeka; abaafa omuzira ne baba bangi okusinga n’abattibwa Abayisirayiri.
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven on them to Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
12 Yoswa n’agamba Mukama ku lunaku olwo Abayisirayiri lwe battirako Abamoli, nga n’Abayisirayiri bonna bawulira nti, “Ggwe enjuba, yimirira butengerera waggulu wa Gibyoni, naawe omwezi kola bw’otyo waggulu w’ekiwonvu Ayalooni.”
Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand you still on Gibeon; and you, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 Enjuba n’omwezi ne bikola nga bwe babiragidde okutuusa Abayisirayiri lwe baamala okuseseggula abalabe baabwe. Bino byonna byawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya Yasali. Enjuba n’eyimirira butengerera ku ggulu n’eteva mu kifo okumala olunaku lulamba.
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves on their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the middle of heaven, and hurried not to go down about a whole day.
14 Tewali lunaku lwali lubadde nga luno, Mukama okuwulira omuntu obwenkaniddaawo; Mukama yalwanirira nnyo Isirayiri.
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri ne bakomawo ne basiisira e Girugaali.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
16 Bakabaka bali abataano ne badduka ne beekukuma mu mpuku e Makkeda.
But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17 Ne bagamba Yoswa nti, “Bakabaka abataano bazuuliddwa, beekwese mu mpuku.”
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
18 Yoswa n’alagira nti, “Muyiringise agayinja aganene mugateeke ku mumwa gw’empuku era mufuneeyo n’abasajja bagikuume;
And Joshua said, Roll great stones on the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
19 naye mmwe abalwanyi temubeerawo wabula mugobe abalabe bammwe, temubaganya kuyingira mu bibuga byabwe, kubanga ebyo Mukama Katonda wammwe abibawadde.”
And stay you not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.
20 Awo Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bwe baamala okutta abalabe baabwe olutta ssinziggu olubamalirawo ddala, abo abaali basigaddewo baddukira mu bibuga ebiriko ebigo,
And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.
21 olwo abantu bonna ne bakomawo mirembe eri Yoswa mu lusiisira e Girugaali. Teri muntu yaddayo kwogerera Bayisirayiri mafuukuule.
And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
22 Oluvannyuma Yoswa n’abagamba nti, “Mugguleewo omumwa gw’empuku mundeetere bakabaka abo abataano.”
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings to me out of the cave.
23 Ne bakola nga bwalagidde ne bamuleetera kabaka w’e Yerusaalemi, n’ow’e Kebbulooni, n’ow’e Yalamusi, n’ow’e Lakisi n’ow’e Eguloni.
And they did so, and brought forth those five kings to him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
24 Bwe baabamuleetera, Yoswa n’akoowoola Abayisirayiri bonna, n’alagira abaduumizi b’eggye abaali naye nti, “Musembere wano kumpi, mulinnye ku nsingo za bakabaka bano.” Nabo ne basembera kumpi ne bakola nga bw’abalagidde.
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet on the necks of them.
25 Yoswa n’abagamba nti, “Temutya wadde okuterebuka, mube n’amaanyi era n’obuvumu kubanga eno y’engeri Mukama gy’anaakola abalabe bammwe be mulwana nabo.”
And Joshua said to them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom you fight.
26 Yoswa bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’addira bakabaka bali n’abatta, emirambo gyabwe n’agiwanika buli gumu ku muti okutuusiza ddala akawungeezi.
And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging on the trees until the evening.
27 Enjuba bwe yamala okugwa Yoswa n’alagira emirambo ne giwanulwa ku miti ne gisuulibwa mu mpuku bakabaka bano mwe basooka okwekukuma, ne bayiringisa agayinja aganene ne bagasaanikira ku mumwa gw’empuku n’okutuusa kaakano amayinja ago gakyaliko.
And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave’s mouth, which remain until this very day.
28 Ku lunaku olwo Yoswa n’alumba Makkeda n’akizikiriza ne kabaka waayo n’amuttisa obwogi bw’ekitala, abaayo bonna n’abazikiriza, kye yakola kabaka w’e Yeriko era kye yakola n’ow’e Makkeda.
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.
29 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bava e Makkeda, ne bagenda e Libuna ne bakizinda,
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
30 era nakyo Mukama n’akibawanguza, n’atta abaakirimu bonna n’obwogi bw’ekitala, tewali n’omu gwe yalekawo. Kye yakola kabaka we Yeriko era kye yakola n’ow’e Libuna.
And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did to the king thereof as he did to the king of Jericho.
31 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri ne bava e Libuna ne bazinda Lakisi, ne bakyetooloola ne bakikuba.
And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
32 Ku lunaku olwokubiri Mukama n’akibawanguza, ne bazikiriza n’ekitala buli muntu yenna eyakirimu era nga bwe baakola e Libuna.
And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 Kolamu kabaka w’e Gezeri n’agezaako okudduukirira Lakisi oyo naye Yoswa n’amutta era n’atalekaawo yadde n’omu ku bantu be.
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna bwe baava e Lakisi ne bagenda e Eguloni, ne bakyetooloola kyonna ne bakikuba.
And from Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 Ku lunaku olwo lwennyini ne bazikiriza n’obwogi bw’ekitala buli eyakirimu nga bwe baakola Lakisi.
And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bava mu Eguloni ne bazinda Kebbulooni,
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it:
37 ne bakikuba; ne bazikiriza n’ekitala abantu baayo bonna era ne kabaka waabwe n’obubuga bwamu bwonna nga bwe baakola mu Eguloni.
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
38 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ate ne bawetamu ne baddayo e Debiri ne bakikuba.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
39 Ne bakiwamba ne bazikiriza n’ekitala kabaka waakyo n’abantu baakyo bonna n’obubuga bwakyo bwonna, era nga bwe baakola e Kebbulooni ne Libuna bwe baakola ne Debiri.
And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
40 Bw’atyo Yoswa n’awangula ensi eyo yonna ey’agasozi, n’ebiwonvu, n’ensenyi ne bakabaka baayo bonna, tewali kiramu na kimu kye yaleka nga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri bwe yamulagira.
So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
41 Yoswa n’awangulira ddala okuva e Kadesubanea okutuuka e Gaaza mu nsi yonna ey’e Goseni okutuukira ddala e Gibyoni.
And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
42 N’awamba bakabaka bano bonna n’ensi zaabwe mu lulumba lumu lwokka kubanga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri yalwanirira Isirayiri.
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 Awo Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bakomawo mu lusiisira e Girugaali.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
