Joshua 10
1 Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek 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;
Na rĩrĩa, Adoni-Zedeki mũthamaki wa Jerusalemu aiguire atĩ Joshua nĩarĩkĩtie gũtunyana itũũra rĩa Ai na akarĩananga o biũ, na ageeka Ai na mũthamaki warĩo o ta ũrĩa ekĩte itũũra rĩa Jeriko na mũthamaki warĩo, na atĩ andũ a Gibeoni nĩmagĩte kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa thayũ na Isiraeli na atĩ maatũũraga hakuhĩ nao-rĩ.
2 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.
Nake, we na andũ ake makĩmaka mũno nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio, nĩgũkorwo Gibeoni rĩarĩ itũũra inene na rĩa bata, o ta rĩmwe rĩa matũũra marĩa maakoragwo marĩ ma ũthamaki; na rĩarĩ inene gũkĩra Ai, o na ningĩ andũ a rĩo othe maarĩ njamba cia ita.
3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Adoni-Zedeki mũthamaki wa Jerusalemu agĩtũmanĩra Hohamu mũthamaki wa Hebironi, na Piramu mũthamaki wa Jaramuthu, na Jafia mũthamaki wa Lakishi, o na Debiri mũthamaki wa Egiloni,
4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ambatai mũũke mũndeithie kũhũũra Gibeoni, nĩ ũndũ nĩmagĩte kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa thayũ na Joshua na andũ a Isiraeli.”
5 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.
Nao athamaki acio atano a Aamori, nao nĩ athamaki a Jerusalemu, na Hebironi, na Jaramuthu, na Lakishi, na Egiloni, magĩcookanĩrĩra hamwe. Makĩambata na mbũtũ ciao ciothe cia ita, nao makĩamba hema ciao mangʼetheire itũũra rĩa Gibeoni, makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from 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.
Nao andũ a Gibeoni magĩtũmanĩra Joshua o kũu Giligali kambĩ-inĩ yake, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũgatiganĩrie ndungata ciaku. Ambata, ũũke gũkũ narua nĩguo ũtũhonokie! Tũteithie nĩ ũndũ athamaki othe a Aamori arĩa matũũraga bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma nĩmacookanĩrĩire matũũkĩrĩre.”
7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua akĩambata akiuma Giligali arĩ na ita rĩake rĩothe hamwe na njamba ciake cia ita iria irĩ hinya.
8 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ndũkametigĩre, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩmaneanĩte moko-inĩ maku. Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wao ũkũhota gũgwĩtiiria.”
9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, [and] went up from Gilgal all night.
Thuutha wa gũthiĩ ũtukũ wothe kuuma Giligali, Joshua akĩmahithũkĩra o rĩmwe.
10 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
Nake Jehova akĩmarehere kĩrigiicano mbere ya Isiraeli, nao makĩmatooria o biũ kũu Gibeoni. Ningĩ andũ a Isiraeli makĩmatengʼeria na njĩra ĩrĩa yathiĩte yambatĩte nginya Bethi-Horoni, magĩthiĩ makĩmooragaga o nginya Azeka na Makeda.
11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, [and] were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: [they were] more which died with hailstones than [they] whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo moragĩra andũ a Isiraeli maikũrũkĩte kuuma Bethi-Horoni marorete Azeka-rĩ, Jehova akĩmagũithĩria mahiga manene ma mbura kuuma igũrũ, nao andũ aingĩ makĩũragwo nĩ mahiga macio ma mbura o na gũkĩra arĩa mooragĩtwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli na rũhiũ rwa njora.
12 Then spake 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.
Mũthenya ũrĩa Jehova aaneanire Aamori kũrĩ a Isiraeli-rĩ, Joshua akĩarĩria Jehova, andũ a Isiraeli makĩiguaga, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “We riũa-rĩ, rũgama o ũguo wĩhaande igũrũ rĩa Gibeoni, O nawe mweri-rĩ, rũgama o ro ũguo wĩhaande igũrũ rĩa Gĩtuamba kĩa Aijaloni.”
13 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio riũa rĩkĩrũgama o ro ũguo, naguo mweri ũkĩrũgama, o nginya rĩrĩa rũrĩrĩ rũu rwerĩhĩirie harĩ thũ ciao, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Jasharu. Riũa rĩarũgamire o kũu matu-inĩ gatagatĩ na rĩkĩamba gũtiga gũthũa handũ ha mũthenya mũgima.
14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
Gũtirĩ kwagĩa mũthenya ũngĩ ta ũcio mbere ĩyo kana thuutha ũcio, mũthenya ũrĩa Jehova aacookirie mahooya ta macio. Ti-itherũ Jehova nĩwe warũagĩrĩra andũ a Isiraeli!
15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
Nake Joshua agĩcooka hamwe na andũ othe a Isiraeli kambĩ-inĩ kũu Giligali.
16 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
Na rĩrĩ, athamaki acio atano nĩmoorĩte na magathiĩ makehitha thĩinĩ wa ngurunga kũu Makeda.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Rĩrĩa Joshua eerirwo atĩ athamaki acio nĩmonetwo mehithĩte ngurunga-inĩ kũu Makeda,
18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
akiuga atĩrĩ, “Garagariai mahiga manene mũhinge mũromo wa ngurunga ĩyo na mũige arangĩri ho.
19 And stay ye 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 hath delivered them into your hand.
No inyuĩ mũtigatithie. Tengʼeriai thũ cianyu, mũcitharĩkĩre mũcirutĩtie na thuutha, na mũtikareke itoonye matũũra macio manene, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩacineanĩte moko-inĩ manyu.”
20 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli makĩmaniina biũ, hakuhĩ kwage mũndũ o na ũmwe ũgũtigara, no anini arĩa maatigarire nĩmahotire kũũrĩra matũũra mao manene marĩa maarĩ mairigĩre.
21 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.
Mbũtũ yothe ya ita ĩgĩgĩcooka kambĩ kũrĩ Joshua o kũu Makeda na thayũ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wacookire kwaria kiugo gĩa gũũkĩrĩra andũ a Isiraeli.
22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
Joshua agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hingũrai mũromo wa ngurunga-inĩ na mũndehere athamaki acio atano.”
23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩĩka o ũguo, makĩruta athamaki acio atano kuuma ngurunga-inĩ, na nĩo athamaki a Jerusalemu, na Hebironi, na Jaramuthu, na Lakishi o na Egiloni.
24 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which 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.
Athamaki acio marĩkia kũrehwo harĩ Joshua, agĩĩta andũ othe a Isiraeli na akĩĩra anene a ita arĩa mathiĩte nake atĩrĩ, “Ũkai haha, mũkinye athamaki aya ngingo.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumĩra, magĩkinya athamaki acio ngingo.
25 And Joshua said unto 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.
Joshua akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtigetigĩre kana mũkue ngoro. Gĩai na hinya na mũũmĩrĩrie. Ũũ nĩguo Jehova arĩĩkaga thũ cianyu ciothe iria mũrĩrũaga nacio.”
26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
Nake Joshua akĩringa athamaki acio akĩmooraga, agĩcooka akĩmacuuria igũrũ rĩa mĩtĩ ĩtano, nao magĩtinda macunjurĩte mĩtĩ-inĩ ĩyo nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.
27 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.
Riũa rĩgĩthũa-rĩ, Joshua agĩathana, nayo mĩĩrĩ ya andũ acio ĩgĩcuurũrio kuuma mĩtĩ-inĩ, ĩgĩikio ngurunga ĩrĩa meehithĩte; na hau mũromo-inĩ wa ngurunga ĩyo hakĩigwo mahiga manene mũno, namo matũire ho o na ũmũthĩ.
28 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 unto the king of Jericho.
Mũthenya ũcio, Joshua agĩtunyana itũũra rĩa Makeda; akĩniina mũthamaki na itũũra rĩu na rũhiũ rwa njora, na akĩniina andũ othe arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo biũ. Ndaatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo; na agĩĩka mũthamaki wa Makeda o ta ũrĩa eekire mũthamaki wa Jeriko.
29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli rĩothe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake makiuma kũu Makeda magĩthiĩ nginya itũũra rĩa Libina na makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
30 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 unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
Nake Jehova akĩneana itũũra rĩu o narĩo na mũthamaki warĩo moko-inĩ ma andũ a Isiraeli. Nake Joshua akĩniina itũũra rĩu na andũ arĩa maarĩ kuo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Ndaigana gũtigia mũndũ o na ũmwe thĩinĩ warĩo arĩ muoyo. Nake agĩĩka mũthamaki warĩo o ta ũrĩa eekire mũthamaki wa Jeriko.
31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake makiuma kũu Libina magĩthiĩ nginya Lakishi; makĩrĩngʼethera, makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
32 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.
Nake Jehova akĩneana Lakishi kũrĩ Isiraeli, nake Joshua akĩrĩtunyana mũthenya wa keerĩ. Itũũra rĩu akĩrĩniina na rũhiũ rwa njora o hamwe na andũ othe arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo, o ta ũrĩa eekire Libina.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo, nake Horamu mũthamaki wa Gezeri nĩokĩte gũteithia Lakishi, no Joshua akĩmũhoota hamwe na mbũtũ yake, o nginya gũkĩaga mũndũ watigarire muoyo.
34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake makiuma kũu Lakishi magĩthiĩ nginya Egiloni; makĩrĩngʼethera makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
35 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.
Nao magĩtunyana itũũra rĩu mũthenya o ro ũcio, na makĩrĩniina biũ na rũhiũ rwa njora, na makĩniina andũ othe arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo, o ta ũrĩa meekĩte Lakishi.
36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake, makĩambata kuuma Egiloni magĩthiĩ nginya Hebironi, makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
37 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.
Magĩtunyana itũũra rĩu, na makĩrĩniina na rũhiũ rwa njora hamwe na mũthamaki warĩo, na tũtũũra twarĩo, na arĩa othe maarĩ thĩinĩ watuo. Matiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo. Nao makĩrĩananga biũ hamwe na arĩa othe maarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo, o ta ũrĩa meekĩte Egiloni.
38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
Ningĩ Joshua na Isiraeli othe arĩa maarĩ nake makĩhũndũka, magĩtharĩkĩra Debiri.
39 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.
Magĩtunyana itũũra rĩu, na mũthamaki warĩo, na tũtũũra twarĩo, makĩmaniina na rũhiũ rwa njora. Makĩananga arĩa maarĩ thĩinĩ warĩo biũ. Matiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo. Nao magĩĩka Debiri na mũthamaki warĩo o ta ũrĩa meekĩte Libina na mũthamaki warĩo, na noguo meekĩte Hebironi.
40 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩtooria mwena ũcio wothe, naguo bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma, o na Negevu, na ituamba-inĩ cia irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, o na kũu ciikũrũko-inĩ cia irĩma, hamwe na athamaki othe akuo. Ndaatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo. Nĩanangire arĩa othe maarĩ na mĩhũmũ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli aathanĩte.
41 And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
Joshua akĩmatooria kuuma Kadeshi-Barinea nginya Gaza na kuuma mwena ũcio wothe wa Gosheni nginya Gibeoni.
42 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
Athamaki acio othe hamwe na mabũrũri mao-rĩ, Joshua aamahootire na itharĩkĩra rĩmwe, nĩ ũndũ Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩwe warũagĩrĩra Isiraeli.
43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
Nake Joshua agĩcooka hamwe na andũ othe a Isiraeli kambĩ-inĩ kũu Giligali.
