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,
Setelah terdengar oleh Adoni-Zedek, raja Yerusalem, bahwa Yosua telah merebut Ai dan telah menumpasnya--seperti yang dilakukannya terhadap Yerikho dan terhadap rajanya, demikianlah juga dilakukannya terhadap Ai dan terhadap rajanya--dan bahwa penduduk kota Gibeon telah mengadakan ikatan persahabatan dengan orang Israel dan diam 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.
maka sangat takutlah orang, sebab Gibeon itu kota yang besar, seperti salah satu kota kerajaan, bahkan lebih besar dari Ai, dan semua orangnya adalah pahlawan.
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, raja Yerusalem, menyuruh orang kepada Hoham, raja Hebron, kepada Piream, raja Yarmut, kepada Yafia, raja Lakhis, dan kepada Debir, raja Eglon, mengatakan:
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.”
"Datanglah kepadaku dan bantulah aku, supaya kita menggempur Gibeon, karena telah mengadakan ikatan 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.
Lalu kelima raja orang Amori itu berkumpul dan bergerak maju: raja Yerusalem, raja Hebron, raja Yarmut, raja Lakhis dan raja Eglon, mereka beserta seluruh tentara mereka. Mereka berkemah mengepung Gibeon dan berperang melawannya.
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.”
Lalu orang-orang Gibeon itu menyuruh orang kepada Yosua, ke tempat perkemahan di Gilgal, mengatakan: "Jangan menarik tanganmu dari pada hamba-hambamu ini. Datanglah dengan segera kepada kami, lepaskanlah kami dan bantulah kami, sebab semua raja orang Amori, yang diam di pegunungan, telah bergabung melawan kami."
7 And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, and the entire army of warriors with him, very strong men.
Lalu Yosua bergerak maju dari Gilgal, dia dan seluruh tentara yang bersama-sama dengan dia, semuanya pahlawan yang gagah perkasa.
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.”
Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Yosua: "Janganlah takut kepada mereka, sebab Aku menyerahkan mereka kepadamu. Tidak seorangpun dari mereka yang akan dapat bertahan menghadapi engkau."
9 And so Joshua, ascending from Gilgal throughout the night, rushed upon them suddenly.
Lalu Yosua menyerang mereka dengan tiba-tiba, setelah semalam-malaman bergerak maju dari Gilgal.
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.
Dan TUHAN mengacaukan mereka di depan orang Israel, sehingga Yosua menimbulkan kekalahan yang besar di antara mereka dekat Gibeon, mengejar mereka ke arah pendakian Bet-Horon dan memukul mereka mundur sampai dekat Azeka dan Makeda.
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.
Sedang mereka melarikan diri di depan orang Israel dan baru di lereng Bet-Horon, maka TUHAN melempari mereka dengan batu-batu besar dari langit, sampai ke Azeka, sehingga mereka mati. Yang mati kena hujan batu itu ada lebih banyak dari yang dibunuh oleh orang Israel dengan pedang.
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!”
Lalu Yosua berbicara kepada TUHAN pada hari TUHAN menyerahkan orang Amori itu kepada orang Israel; ia berkata di hadapan orang Israel: "Matahari, berhentilah di atas Gibeon dan engkau, bulan, di 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 berhentilah matahari dan bulanpun tidak bergerak, sampai bangsa itu membalaskan dendamnya kepada musuhnya. Bukankah hal itu telah tertulis dalam Kitab Orang Jujur? Matahari tidak bergerak di tengah langit dan lambat-lambat terbenam kira-kira sehari penuh.
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.
Belum pernah ada hari seperti itu, baik dahulu maupun kemudian, bahwa TUHAN mendengarkan permohonan seorang manusia secara demikian, sebab yang berperang untuk orang Israel ialah TUHAN.
15 And Joshua returned, with all of Israel, into the camp of Gilgal.
Kemudian Yosua dan seluruh orang Israel yang menyertainya pulang kembali ke tempat perkemahan di Gilgal.
16 For the five kings had fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
Kelima raja itu melarikan diri dan bersembunyi di dalam 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.
Kepada Yosua dikabarkan, demikian: "Kelima raja itu telah ditemukan bersembunyi di dalam gua di Makeda."
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.
Lalu berkatalah Yosua: "Gulingkanlah batu-batu yang besar ke mulut gua itu dan tempatkanlah di sana orang untuk menjaga mereka.
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 kamu, janganlah kamu berhenti, kejarlah musuhmu dan hantamlah barisan belakangnya; janganlah biarkan mereka masuk ke dalam kota-kota mereka, sebab TUHAN, Allahmu, menyerahkan mereka kepadamu!"
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.
Setelah Yosua dan orang Israel selesai menimbulkan kekalahan yang besar sekali di antara mereka, sampai mereka dihancurkan sama sekali--beberapa orang dari mereka dapat lolos dan masuk ke kota-kota yang diperkuat--
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.
pulanglah seluruh bangsa itu dengan selamat kepada Yosua ke tempat perkemahan, di Makeda. Tidak ada seorangpun yang berani melemparkan kata-kata ancaman terhadap 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.”
Kemudian berkatalah Yosua: "Bukalah mulut gua dan keluarkanlah kelima raja itu dari dalam dan bawa kepadaku."
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.
Dilakukan oranglah demikian, kelima raja itu dikeluarkan dari gua itu dan dibawa kepadanya: raja Yerusalem, raja Hebron, raja Yarmut, raja Lakhis dan raja Eglon.
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,
Setelah raja-raja itu dikeluarkan dan dibawa kepada Yosua, maka Yosuapun memanggil semua orang Israel berkumpul dan berkata kepada para panglima tentara, yang ikut berperang bersama-sama dengan dia: "Marilah dekat, taruhlah kakimu ke atas tengkuk raja-raja ini." Maka datanglah mereka dekat dan menaruh kakinya ke atas tengkuk 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.”
Lalu berkatalah Yosua kepada mereka: "Janganlah takut dan janganlah tawar hati, kuatkan dan teguhkanlah hatimu, sebab secara itulah akan dilakukan TUHAN kepada semua musuhmu, yang kamu perangi."
26 And Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he suspended them on five gallows. And they hung there until evening.
Sesudah itu Yosua membunuh raja-raja itu, dan menggantung mereka pada lima tiang, dan mereka tinggal tergantung pada tiang-tiang itu sampai matahari terbenam.
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.
Tetapi menjelang matahari terbenam, atas perintah Yosua mayat mereka diturunkan dari tiang-tiang itu, dan dilemparkan ke dalam gua, tempat mereka bersembunyi. Lalu mulut gua itu ditutupi orang dengan batu-batu besar, yang masih ada sampai sekarang.
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.
Pada hari itu Yosua merebut Makeda dan kota itu dipukulnya dengan mata pedang, juga rajanya; kota itu dan semua makhluk yang ada di dalamnya ditumpasnya, tidak ada seorangpun yang dibiarkannya lolos, dan raja Makeda, diperlakukannya seperti telah diperlakukannya raja Yerikho.
29 Then he went on, with all of Israel, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against it.
Kemudian Yosua dengan seluruh Israel berjalan terus dari Makeda ke Libna, lalu memerangi 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.
Dan TUHAN menyerahkan kota itu juga kepada orang Israel, beserta rajanya. Yosua memukul kota itu dan semua makhluk yang ada di dalamnya dengan mata pedang, tidak ada seorangpun di dalamnya yang dibiarkannya lolos, dan rajanya itu, diperlakukannya seperti telah diperlakukannya 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 dengan seluruh Israel berjalan terus dari Libna ke Lakhis, lalu berkemah mengepung kota itu dan berperang melawannya.
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.
Dan TUHAN menyerahkan Lakhis kepada orang Israel. Yosua merebut kota itu pada hari yang kedua. Kota itu dan semua makhluk yang ada di dalamnya dipukulnya dengan mata pedang, tepat seperti yang dilakukannya terhadap Libna.
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.
Lalu Horam, raja Gezer, maju untuk membantu Lakhis, tetapi Yosua menewaskan dia dan rakyatnya, sehingga tidak ada seorangpun padanya yang dibiarkannya lolos.
34 And he went on from Lachish to Eglon, and he surrounded it.
Kemudian Yosua dengan seluruh Israel berjalan terus dari Lakhis ke Eglon, lalu mereka berkemah mengepung kota itu dan berperang melawannya.
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.
Kota itu direbut mereka pada hari itu juga dan dipukul dengan mata pedang. Semua makhluk yang ada di dalamnya ditumpasnya pada hari itu, tepat seperti yang dilakukan terhadap Lakhis.
36 He also ascended, with all of Israel, from Eglon into Hebron, and he fought against it.
Kemudian Yosua dengan seluruh Israel bergerak maju dari Eglon ke Hebron, lalu berperang melawannya.
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.
Negeri itu direbut mereka dan dipukul dengan mata pedang, juga rajanya dan segala kotanya dan semua makhluk yang ada di dalamnya, tidak seorangpun yang dibiarkannya lolos, tepat seperti yang dilakukannya terhadap Eglon. Kota itu dan semua makhluk yang ada di dalamnya ditumpasnya.
38 Returning from there to Debir,
Kemudian Yosua dengan seluruh Israel kembali ke Debir, lalu berperang melawannya.
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.
Negeri itu beserta rajanya dan segala kotanya direbutnya, dan dipukul dengan mata pedang. Semua makhluk yang ada di dalamnya ditumpas mereka, tidak seorangpun yang dibiarkannya lolos; seperti yang dilakukannya terhadap Hebron, demikianlah dilakukan terhadap Debir beserta rajanya, sama seperti yang dilakukannya terhadap Libna beserta 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,
Demikianlah Yosua mengalahkan seluruh negeri itu, Pegunungan, Tanah Negeb, Daerah Bukit dan Lereng Gunung, beserta semua raja mereka. Tidak seorangpun yang dibiarkannya lolos, tetapi ditumpasnya semua yang bernafas, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
41 from Kadesh-barnea, as far as Gaza, with all the land of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.
Yosua menewaskan mereka dari Kadesh-Barnea sampai Gaza, juga seluruh tanah Gosyen sampai Gibeon.
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.
Semua raja ini dan negeri mereka telah dikalahkan Yosua sekaligus, sebab yang berperang untuk orang Israel ialah TUHAN, Allah Israel.
43 And he returned, with all of Israel, to the place of the encampment at Gilgal.
Kemudian Yosua dengan seluruh Israel pulang kembali ke tempat perkemahan di Gilgal.
