Yosua 10
1 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.
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 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.
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 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,
Wherefore Adonizedec 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,
4 "Marilah membantu saya menyerang Gibeon, sebab orang-orangnya sudah mengadakan perjanjian persahabatan dengan Yosua dan orang Israel."
Come up unto me, and help me, that we may strike Gibeon: for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
5 Maka kelima raja Amori itu, yaitu raja Yerusalem, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakhis dan Eglon bergabung, lalu dengan seluruh tentara mereka, mereka mengepung dan menyerang Gibeon.
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 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!"
And the men of Gibeon sent unto 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 Lalu Yosua dan seluruh tentaranya, termasuk pasukan-pasukannya yang terbaik, berangkat dari Gilgal untuk berperang.
So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
8 TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, "Jangan takut kepada mereka. Kemenangan sudah Kuberikan kepadamu, oleh sebab itu tidak seorang pun dari mereka dapat bertahan melawanmu."
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into your hand; there shall not a man of them stand before you.
9 Semalam-malaman Yosua dengan pasukannya bergerak dari Gilgal ke Gibeon, lalu menyerang orang-orang Amori secara mendadak.
Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
10 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.
And the LORD humiliated them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goes up to Bethhoron, and stroke them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
11 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.
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 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.
12 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."
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 upon Gibeon; and you, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 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.
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 Tidak pernah terjadi dan juga tidak akan terjadi suatu hari seperti hari itu, bahwa TUHAN mengikuti keinginan manusia. TUHAN berperang di pihak Israel!
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.
15 Sesudah pertempuran itu, Yosua bersama-sama dengan tentaranya kembali ke perkemahan di Gilgal.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
16 Tetapi kelima raja Amori itu lolos dan bersembunyi dalam sebuah gua di Makeda.
But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17 Orang melihat mereka, dan memberitahukan tempat persembunyian mereka kepada Yosua.
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
18 "Gulingkan batu-batu besar ke mulut gua itu, dan tempatkan pengawal di situ," kata Yosua,
And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it in order to keep them:
19 "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."
And stay all of you not, but pursue after your enemies, and strike the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.
20 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.
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 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.
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 Sesudah itu Yosua berkata, "Sekarang buka mulut gua itu dan bawa kemari kelima orang raja itu."
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
23 Gua itu pun dibuka, lalu raja-raja Yerusalem, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakhis dan Eglon digiring keluar,
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.
24 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.
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.
25 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."
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 all of you fight.
26 Lalu Yosua membunuh raja-raja itu dan menggantung mereka pada lima tonggak. Mayat mereka dibiarkan di situ sampai sore.
And afterward Joshua stroke them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
27 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.
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 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.
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and stroke 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.
29 Sesudah itu, Yosua dengan tentaranya bergerak terus dari Makeda ke Libna dan menyerang Libna.
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
30 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.
And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he stroke 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.
31 Kemudian Yosua dan tentaranya maju dari Libna ke Lakhis. Mereka mengepung kota itu lalu menyerbunya.
And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
32 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.
And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and stroke it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 Horam, raja Gezer datang membantu Lakhis, tetapi Yosua mengalahkan dia dan tentaranya; tidak seorang pun yang tertinggal, semuanya mati.
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua stroke him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34 Berikutnya, Yosua dengan tentaranya maju dari Lakhis ke Eglon lalu mengepung dan menyerang kota itu.
And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 Pada hari itu juga mereka merebut Eglon, dan membunuh semua orang di situ seperti yang mereka lakukan di Lakhis.
And they took it on that day, and stroke 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 Dari Eglon, Yosua dan tentaranya mendaki pegunungan dan pergi ke kota Hebron, lalu menyerang
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
37 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.
And they took it, and stroke 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 Setelah itu, Yosua dan tentaranya kembali dan menyerang Debir.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
39 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.
And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they stroke 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 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.
So Joshua stroke 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 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.
And Joshua stroke them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
42 Dalam hanya satu kali bertempur, Yosua mengalahkan semua raja itu dan merebut daerah-daerah kekuasaan mereka, karena TUHAN, Allah Israel, bertempur untuk Israel.
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at the same, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 Sesudah itu, Yosua kembali dengan tentaranya ke perkemahan di Gilgal.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
