Joshua 10
1 When Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, specifically, that Joshua had seized Ai, and had overthrown it, (for just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so did he do to Ai and its king, ) and that the Gibeonites had fled over to Israel, and were now their confederates,
Adoni-Zedek, raja Yerusalem, mendengar bahwa Yosua sudah merebut dan menghancurkan sama sekali kota Ai, serta membunuh rajanya seperti yang telah dilakukannya terhadap Yerikho dan rajanya. Ia mendengar juga bahwa orang Gibeon sudah mengadakan perjanjian persahabatan dengan orang-orang Israel dan tinggal di tengah-tengah mereka.
2 he was very afraid. For Gibeon was a great city, and was one of the royal cities, and was greater than the town of Ai, and all its warriors were very strong.
Penduduk Yerusalem takut sekali, sebab Gibeon adalah kota yang besar; sama besarnya dengan kota-kota yang mempunyai raja, bahkan lebih besar dari Ai. Orang-orangnya pun pejuang-pejuang yang pandai bertempur.
3 Therefore, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, the king of Hebron, and to Piram, the king of Jarmuth, and also to Japhia, the king of Lachish, and to Debir, the king of Eglon, saying:
Sebab itu Adoni-Zedek mengutus orang kepada Raja Hoham di Hebron, Raja Piream di Yarmut, Raja Yafia di Lakhis, dan Raja Debir di Eglon, dengan membawa pesan ini,
4 “Ascend to me, and bring troops, so that we may fight against Gibeon. For it has fled over to Joshua and the sons of Israel.”
"Marilah membantu saya menyerang Gibeon, sebab orang-orangnya sudah mengadakan perjanjian persahabatan dengan Yosua dan orang Israel."
5 And so, having assembled, 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, together with their armies, went up and encamped around Gibeon, laying siege to it.
Maka kelima raja Amori itu, yaitu raja Yerusalem, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakhis dan Eglon bergabung, lalu dengan seluruh tentara mereka, mereka mengepung dan menyerang Gibeon.
6 But the inhabitants of the city of Gibeon, when it was besieged, sent to Joshua, who was then staying in the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him: “May you not draw back your hands from helping your servants. Come quickly, and free us, and bring troops. For all the kings of the Amorites, who live in the mountains, have gathered together against us.”
Orang-orang Gibeon mengirim berita ini kepada Yosua di perkemahan di Gilgal, "Jangan biarkan kami sendirian, Tuan! Datanglah segera membantu kami, sebab tentara dari semua raja Amori di daerah pegunungan sudah bergabung melawan kami!"
7 And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, and the entire army of warriors with him, very strong men.
Lalu Yosua dan seluruh tentaranya, termasuk pasukan-pasukannya yang terbaik, berangkat dari Gilgal untuk berperang.
8 And the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear them. For I have delivered them into your hands. None of them will be able to withstand you.”
TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, "Jangan takut kepada mereka. Kemenangan sudah Kuberikan kepadamu, oleh sebab itu tidak seorang pun dari mereka dapat bertahan melawanmu."
9 And so Joshua, ascending from Gilgal throughout the night, rushed upon them suddenly.
Semalam-malaman Yosua dengan pasukannya bergerak dari Gilgal ke Gibeon, lalu menyerang orang-orang Amori secara mendadak.
10 And the Lord set them in disarray before the face of Israel. And he crushed them in a great defeat at Gibeon, and he pursued them along the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and he struck them down, even as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
TUHAN membuat orang-orang Amori menjadi panik ketika melihat tentara Israel. Banyak orang Amori dibunuh di Gibeon, dan yang masih hidup dikejar menuruni lereng gunung di Bet-Horon sampai sejauh Azeka dan Makeda di sebelah selatan.
11 And while they were fleeing from the sons of Israel, and were on the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast great stones from heaven upon them, as far as Azekah. And many more were killed by the hailstones, than were struck down by the swords of the sons of Israel.
Pada waktu orang-orang Amori sedang menuruni lereng gunung itu karena melarikan diri dari tentara Israel, TUHAN menjatuhkan hujan es yang besar-besar dari langit ke atas mereka sepanjang jalan sampai di Azeka. Yang mati ditimpa hujan es itu jauh lebih banyak dari yang dibunuh oleh orang Israel.
12 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, on the day that he handed over the Amorite in the sight of the sons of Israel, and he said before them: “O sun, you shall not move toward Gibeon! O moon, you shall not move toward the valley of Aijalon!”
Pada hari itu ketika TUHAN memberikan kemenangan kepada orang Israel terhadap orang Amori, Yosua berbicara kepada TUHAN. Dan di hadapan orang Israel, Yosua berkata, "Hai matahari! Berhentilah di atas Gibeon. Dan kau bulan! Janganlah berpindah dari atas Lembah Ayalon."
13 And the sun and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves of their enemies. Has this not been written in the book of the just? And so the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and it did not hurry to its rest for the space of one day.
Maka matahari berhenti dan bulan tidak berpindah sampai orang Israel selesai mengalahkan musuh-musuhnya. Peristiwa ini tertulis dalam Buku Yasar. Sehari penuh matahari berhenti di tengah-tengah langit, dan lama sekali baru terbenam.
14 Never before and never after was there so long a day, as when the Lord obeyed the voice of a man, and fought for Israel.
Tidak pernah terjadi dan juga tidak akan terjadi suatu hari seperti hari itu, bahwa TUHAN mengikuti keinginan manusia. TUHAN berperang di pihak Israel!
15 And Joshua returned, with all of Israel, into the camp of Gilgal.
Sesudah pertempuran itu, Yosua bersama-sama dengan tentaranya kembali ke perkemahan di Gilgal.
16 For the five kings had fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
Tetapi kelima raja Amori itu lolos dan bersembunyi dalam sebuah gua di Makeda.
17 And it was reported to Joshua that the five kings had been found hidden in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
Orang melihat mereka, dan memberitahukan tempat persembunyian mereka kepada Yosua.
18 And he instructed his companions and said: “Roll vast stones to the mouth of the cave, and station attentive men who will keep them closed.
"Gulingkan batu-batu besar ke mulut gua itu, dan tempatkan pengawal di situ," kata Yosua,
19 But as for you, do not stay here; instead, pursue the enemies, and cut down the lattermost of those who are fleeing. You shall not permit those whom the Lord God has delivered into your hands to enter into the protection of their cities.”
"tetapi kalian jangan berhenti di situ. Kejarlah terus, dan seranglah mereka dari belakang; jangan biarkan mereka masuk ke kota-kota mereka! TUHAN Allahmu sudah memberikan kemenangan kepadamu atas mereka."
20 Thus, the adversaries were struck down in a great defeat, and having been nearly consumed, even to utter annihilation, those who were able to escape from Israel entered into fortified cities.
Yosua dan orang Israel membunuh orang-orang Amori itu, tetapi ada juga di antara mereka yang lari ke kota mereka mencari perlindungan, sehingga tidak terbunuh.
21 And the entire army returned to Joshua at Makkedah, where they were then encamped, in good health and in their full numbers. And no one dared to move his tongue against the sons of Israel.
Kemudian semua tentara Yosua kembali dengan selamat kepada Yosua di perkemahan di Makeda. Tidak seorang pun di negeri itu berani mengatakan apa-apa menentang orang Israel.
22 And Joshua instructed, saying, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forward to me the five kings, who are hidden within it.”
Sesudah itu Yosua berkata, "Sekarang buka mulut gua itu dan bawa kemari kelima orang raja itu."
23 And the ministers did just as they had been ordered. And they led out to him the five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
Gua itu pun dibuka, lalu raja-raja Yerusalem, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakhis dan Eglon digiring keluar,
24 And when they had been led out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and he said to the leaders of the army who were with him, “Go, and place your feet upon the necks of these kings.” And when they had gone and had tread their feet upon the necks of those who were thrown down,
dan dibawa kepada Yosua. Lalu Yosua memanggil semua orang Israel berkumpul, kemudian memerintahkan supaya para perwira yang ikut bertempur dengan dia datang menginjak batang leher raja-raja itu. Para perwira itu pun datang dan menginjak batang leher raja-raja itu.
25 he spoke to them again: “Do not be afraid, and do not dread. Be strengthened and be steadfast. For so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.”
Sesudah itu, Yosua berkata kepada para perwiranya, "Jangan cemas dan jangan takut. Hendaklah kalian yakin dan berani, sebab beginilah caranya TUHAN akan memperlakukan semua musuhmu."
26 And Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he suspended them on five gallows. And they hung there until evening.
Lalu Yosua membunuh raja-raja itu dan menggantung mereka pada lima tonggak. Mayat mereka dibiarkan di situ sampai sore.
27 And when the sun had set, he instructed his assistants that they should take them down from the gallows. And having been taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hidden, and they set vast stones at its mouth, which remain, even to the present.
Pada waktu matahari terbenam, atas perintah Yosua, mayat-mayat itu diturunkan lalu dilemparkan ke dalam gua yang tadinya dipakai oleh raja-raja itu untuk tempat bersembunyi. Kemudian batu besar-besar ditempatkan di mulut gua itu. Sampai sekarang batu-batu itu masih di situ.
28 Also on the same day, Joshua seized Makkedah, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and he put to death its king and all its inhabitants. He did not leave in it even the smallest remains. And he did to the king of Makkedah, just as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Hari itu Yosua menyerang Makeda, dan mengalahkan kota itu serta rajanya. Seluruh penduduk kota itu dibunuhnya; tidak seorang pun dibiarkan hidup. Yosua memperlakukan raja Makeda sama seperti ia memperlakukan raja Yerikho.
29 Then he went on, with all of Israel, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against it.
Sesudah itu, Yosua dengan tentaranya bergerak terus dari Makeda ke Libna dan menyerang Libna.
30 And the Lord delivered it, with its king, into the hands of Israel. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, and all its inhabitants. They did not leave in it any remains. And they did to the king of Libnah, just as they had done to the king of Jericho.
TUHAN memberi juga kemenangan kepada orang Israel atas kota ini dan rajanya. Tidak seorang pun yang dibiarkan hidup; semua orang di dalam kota itu dibunuh. Yosua memperlakukan raja kota itu seperti ia memperlakukan raja Yerikho.
31 From Libnah, with all of Israel, he went on to Lachish. And taking positions around it with his army, he besieged it.
Kemudian Yosua dan tentaranya maju dari Libna ke Lakhis. Mereka mengepung kota itu lalu menyerbunya.
32 And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hands of Israel, and he seized it on the following day, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every soul that was in it, just as he had done to Libnah.
TUHAN memberikan kepada orang Israel kemenangan atas Lakhis dalam pertempuran pada hari kedua. Apa yang mereka lakukan di Libna, mereka lakukan juga di Lakhis; tidak seorang pun yang dibiarkan hidup, semuanya dibunuh.
33 At that time, Horam, the king of Gezer, went up so that he might assist Lachish. And Joshua struck him with all his people, even unto utter annihilation.
Horam, raja Gezer datang membantu Lakhis, tetapi Yosua mengalahkan dia dan tentaranya; tidak seorang pun yang tertinggal, semuanya mati.
34 And he went on from Lachish to Eglon, and he surrounded it.
Berikutnya, Yosua dengan tentaranya maju dari Lakhis ke Eglon lalu mengepung dan menyerang kota itu.
35 And he also defeated it on the same day. And he struck all the souls that were in it with the edge of the sword, in accord with all that he had done to Lachish.
Pada hari itu juga mereka merebut Eglon, dan membunuh semua orang di situ seperti yang mereka lakukan di Lakhis.
36 He also ascended, with all of Israel, from Eglon into Hebron, and he fought against it.
Dari Eglon, Yosua dan tentaranya mendaki pegunungan dan pergi ke kota Hebron, lalu menyerang
37 He seized it and struck it with the edge of the sword, likewise with its king, and all the towns of that region, and all the souls that were staying in it. He did not leave any remains in it. Just as he had done to Eglon, so also did he do to Hebron, consuming with the sword all that he found within it.
dan merebut kota itu. Rajanya dan setiap orang di kota itu dan di kota-kota lain di sekitar situ, semua dibunuh. Yosua menghancurkan sama sekali kota itu seperti yang dilakukannya pada kota Eglon. Tidak seorang pun yang dibiarkan hidup di situ.
38 Returning from there to Debir,
Setelah itu, Yosua dan tentaranya kembali dan menyerang Debir.
39 he seized it and laid waste to it, likewise with its king. And all the surrounding towns, he struck with the edge of the sword. He did not leave in it any remains. Just as he had done to Hebron and Libnah, and to their kings, so did he do to Debir and to its king.
Kota itu dan rajanya serta semua kota lain di sekitar situ direbut oleh Yosua. Semua orang di situ dibunuh. Yosua memperlakukan Debir dan rajanya seperti ia memperlakukan Hebron dan Libna serta rajanya.
40 And so Joshua struck the entire land, the mountains, and the south, and the plains, and the descending slopes, with their kings. He did not leave in it any remains, but he put to death all that was able to breathe, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had instructed him,
Seluruh negeri itu ditaklukkan oleh Yosua. Ia mengalahkan raja-raja di daerah pegunungan, di lereng-lereng bukit sebelah timur, di kaki-kaki gunung sebelah barat, dan di padang-padang sebelah selatan. Tidak seorang pun yang dibiarkannya hidup; semuanya dibunuh. Itu sesuai dengan perintah dari TUHAN, Allah Israel.
41 from Kadesh-barnea, as far as Gaza, with all the land of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.
Yosua mengalahkan daerah-daerah dari Kades-Barnea di sebelah selatan sampai ke Gaza di dekat daerah pesisir, termasuk seluruh daerah Gosyen, terus sampai ke Gibeon di utara.
42 And all their kings and their regions, he seized and destroyed with a single attack. For the Lord, the God of Israel, fought on his behalf.
Dalam hanya satu kali bertempur, Yosua mengalahkan semua raja itu dan merebut daerah-daerah kekuasaan mereka, karena TUHAN, Allah Israel, bertempur untuk Israel.
43 And he returned, with all of Israel, to the place of the encampment at Gilgal.
Sesudah itu, Yosua kembali dengan tentaranya ke perkemahan di Gilgal.
