Yoswa 10
1 Adoni-Zedeki mfumu ya ku Yerusalemu inamva kuti Yoswa wagonjetsa ndi kuwononga kotheratu mzinda wa Ai pamodzi ndi mfumu yake, monga anachitira ndi Yeriko ndi mfumu yake. Inamvanso kuti anthu a ku Gibiyoni anachita pangano la mtendere ndi Israeli ndipo amakhala pakati pawo.
Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
2 Choncho iye ndi anthu ake anachita mantha aakulu, chifukwa Gibiyoni unali mzinda waukulu kwambiri, monga mzinda uliwonse wokhala ndi mfumu. Unali waukulu ndipo ankhondo ake anali olimba mtima.
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 its men were mighty.
3 Chotsatira chake Adoni-Zedeki mfumu ya Yerusalemu inatuma uthenga kwa Hohamu mfumu ya Hebroni, Piramu mfumu ya Yarimuti, Yafiya mfumu ya Lakisi ndi Debri mfumu ya Egiloni.
Therefore Adonizedek 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 Iye anatumiza mawu kuti, “Bwerani mudzandithandize kumenyana ndi Gibiyoni, chifukwa anthu ake achita pangano la mtendere ndi Yoswa ndi Aisraeli.”
Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
5 Mafumu asanu a Aamori aja, mfumu ya Yerusalemu, mfumu ya Hebroni, mfumu ya Yarimuti, mfumu ya Lakisi ndi mfumu ya Egiloni, anagwirizana. Iwo anasonkhanitsa ankhondo awo nazungulira mzinda wa Gibiyoni ndi kuwuthira nkhondo.
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 Koma anthu a ku Gibiyoni anatumiza uthenga kwa Yoswa ku misasa ya ku Giligala nati, “Musawataye anthu anu! Bwerani msanga mudzatipulumutse! Dzatithandizeni chifukwa mafumu a Aamori ochokera ku dziko la ku mapiri agwirizana kuti adzatithire nkhondo.”
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not forsake thy 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 Choncho Yoswa ananyamuka kuchoka ku Giligala ndi gulu lake la ankhondo pamodzi ndi anthu ake olimba mtima.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
8 Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Usawaope, Ine ndawapereka mʼdzanja lako. Palibe ndi mmodzi mwa amenewa amene adzalimbe.”
And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
9 Atayenda usiku wonse kuchokera ku Giligala, Yoswa anawathira nkhondo mwadzidzidzi.
Joshua therefore came to them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
10 Yehova anachititsa mantha adani aja atangoona gulu lankhondo la Israeli. Choncho Aisraeli anagonjetsa Aamori ku Gibiyoni ndipo anawathamangitsa mu msewu wopita ku Beti-Horoni ndi kuwapha njira yonse yopita ku Azeka ndi Makeda.
And the LORD destroyed them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.
11 Pamene ankathawa pamaso pa Israeli pa njira yochokera ku Beti-Horoni mpaka ku Azeka, Yehova anawagwetsera matalala akuluakulu kuchokera kumwamba ndipo ambiri mwa iwo anafa ndi matalala kuposa amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga la Israeli.
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the descent to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them to Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
12 Pa tsiku limene Yehova anapereka Aamori mʼmanja mwa Israeli, Yoswa ananena kwa Yehova pamaso pa Israeli kuti, “Iwe dzuwa, ima pamwamba pa Gibiyoni, mwezi ima pamwamba pa chigwa cha Ayaloni.”
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 thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 Choncho dzuwa linayima, mwezinso unayima, mpaka dziko la Israeli litagonjetsa adani ake. Zimenezi zalembedwa mʼbuku la Yasari. Dzuwa linayima pamodzimodzi pakati pa thambo mlengalenga, osayendanso kwa tsiku lathunthu.
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14 Sipanakhaleponso tsiku ngati limeneli kuyambira kale, tsiku limene Yehova anamvera munthu. Izi zinatero chifukwa Yehova ankamenyera nkhondo Aisraeli.
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Kenaka Yoswa anabwerera pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse ku misasa ku Giligala.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Mafumu asanu aja anathawa ndi kukabisala ku phanga la Makeda.
But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17 Koma Yoswa anamva kuti mafumu asanu awapeza akubisala ku phanga la Makeda.
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
18 Tsono Yoswa analamula kuti, “Mugubuduzire miyala ikuluikulu pa khomo la phangalo, ndipo muyike anthu ena kuti azilondera.
And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:
19 Koma inu musakhaleko! Thamangitsani adani anu, muwathire nkhondo kuchokera kumbuyo ndipo musawalole kuti akafike ku mizinda yawo, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu wawapereka mʼmanja mwanu.”
And stay you not, but pursue your enemies, and smite the rear of them; permit them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
20 Kotero Yoswa ndi Aisraeli anapha anthu aja, kupatulapo ochepa amene anathawa nakabisala ku mizinda yawo.
And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest who remained of them entered into fortified cities.
21 Kenaka gulu lonse la ankhondo linabwerera bwinobwino kwa Yoswa ku misasa ya ku Makeda, palibe aliyense mu mzindamo amene anaputanso Aisraeli.
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 Yoswa anati, “Tsekulani khomo la phangalo ndipo muwabweretse kwa ine mafumu asanuwo.”
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings to me out of the cave.
23 Pamenepo mafumu asanu aja anatulutsidwa, mfumu ya ku Yerusalemu, mfumu ya ku Hebroni, mfumu ya ku Yarimuti, mfumu ya ku Lakisi, ndi mfumu ya ku Egiloni.
And they did so, and brought 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 Atabwera nawo kwa Yoswa, iye anayitana Aisraeli onse. Ndipo analamula akuluakulu ake amene anapita naye limodzi kuti, “Bwerani kuno ndipo apondeni pakhosi mafumuwa.”
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 who went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
25 Yoswa anawawuza kuti, “Musaope kapena kutaya mtima. Khalani amphamvu ndi olimba mtima popeza umo ndi mmene Yehova adzachitire ndi adani anu onse amene mudzamenyana nawo.”
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 ye fight.
26 Kenaka Yoswa anawabaya ndi kuwapha mafumuwo ndipo anawapachika pa mitengo isanu ndipo anakhala pamenepo mpaka madzulo.
And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
27 Dzuwa litalowa, Yoswa analamula kuti awachotse pa mitengo ija ndi kuwaponya mʼphanga limene ankabisalamo. Pa khomo pa phangalo anayikapo miyala ikuluikulu imene ilipo mpaka lero.
And it came to pass at the time of the setting of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had been hid, and laid great stones upon the cave’s mouth, which remain until this very day.
28 Tsiku lomwelo Yoswa analanda mzinda wa Makeda. Iye anapha anthu a mu mzindamo ndi mfumu yake ndipo sanasiye aliyense wamoyo. Yoswa anachita ndi mfumu ya ku Makeda monga anachitira ndi mfumu ya Yeriko.
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were in it; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.
29 Kenaka Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse anapitirira kuchokera ku Makeda nakafika ku Libina ndi kuthira nkhondo mzindawo.
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
30 Yehova anaperekanso mzindawo ndi mfumu yake mʼmanja mwa Aisraeli. Ndipo Yoswa anapha onse amene anali mu mzindamo. Palibe amene anatsala wamoyo. Ndipo Yoswa anachita ndi mfumu ya Libina monga anachitira ndi mfumu ya Yeriko.
And the LORD delivered it also, and its king, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it; he let none remain in it; but did to its king as he did to the king of Jericho.
31 Kenaka Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse anapitirira kuchokera ku Libina kupita ku Lakisi. Iye anazungulira mzindawo ndi kuwuthira nkhondo.
And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
32 Yehova anapereka Lakisi kwa Israeli; ndipo Yoswa anawulanda pa tsiku lachiwiri. Monga anachita ndi mzinda wa Libina, Yoswa anapha anthu onse okhala mu mzinda wa Lakisi, ndipo palibe amene anatsala ndi moyo.
And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti Horamu mfumu ya Gezeri itabwera kudzathandiza Lakisi koma Yoswa anamugonjetsa pamodzi ndi asilikali ake ndipo palibe anatsala wamoyo.
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 Kenaka Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse anapitirira kuchokera ku Lakisi nakafika ku Egiloni. Iwo anazungulira mzindawo ndi kuwuthira nkhondo.
And from Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 Anawulanda tsiku lomwelo ndipo anapha aliyense amene anali mu mzindawo monga momwe anachitira ku Lakisi.
And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 Kenaka Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse anachoka ku Egiloni nakafika ku Hebroni ndi kukawuthira nkhondo.
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it:
37 Iwo analanda mzindawo napha ndi lupanga mfumu yake pamodzi ndi onse amene ankakhala mʼmenemo. Monga anachita ndi mzinda wa Egiloni, kuti sanasiye aliyense ndi moyo, anachitanso chimodzimodzi ndi mzinda wa Hebroni.
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king, and all its cities and all the souls that were in them; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were in it.
38 Pambuyo pake Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse anatembenukira mzinda wa Debri ndi kukawuthira nkhondo.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
39 Iwo analanda mzindawo ndi midzi ndi kupha mfumu yake pamodzi ndi onse okhala mʼmenemo. Anachita ndi mzinda wa Debri pamodzi ndi mfumu yake zofanana ndi zimene anachita ndi mzinda wa Libina ndi wa Hebroni.
And he took it, and its king, and all its cities; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were in them; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.
40 Motero Yoswa anagonjetsa dziko lonselo. Anapha mafumu onse a dera la kumapiri, dera la kummawa, dera la kumadzulo mʼmphepete mwa phiri, ndiponso dera la ku magomo, kummwera. Iye sanasiye wina aliyense wamoyo. Anapha onse amene anali moyo monga momwe Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli analamulira.
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 anawagonjetsa iwo kuyambira ku Kadesi Barinea mpaka ku Gaza, ndiponso kuchokera ku chigawo chonse cha Goseni mpaka ku Gibiyoni.
And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
42 Yoswa anagonjetsa mafumu onsewa ndi kulanda dziko lawo kamodzinʼkamodzi chifukwa Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli anawamenyera nkhondo.
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 Pambuyo pake Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse anabwerera ku misasa yawo ku Giligala.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp in Gilgal.
