¹[Ny nandresen'ny Isiraely ny mpanjaka dimy lahy, sy ny nahazoany an'i Kanana Atsimo rehetra.] Ary rehefa ren'i Adoni-zedeka, mpanjakan'i Jerosalema, fa afak'i Josoa Ay ka noravany (fa araka izay nataony tamin'i Jeriko sy ny mpanjakany no nataony tamin'Ay sy ny mpanjakany), sady nanao fihavanana tamin'ny Isiraely ny mponina tany Gibeona ka tomoetra eo aminy, [Heb. nataony herema]

¹Now it happened when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem 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;

²dia raiki-tahotra indrindra izy, satria tanàna lehibe Gibeona tahaka ny anankiray amin'ny tanàna misy andriana, sady lehibe noho Ay, ary nahery ny lehilahy rehetra teo.

²that they were very afraid, 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.

³Dia naniraka olona Adoni-zedeka, mpanjakan'i Jerosalema, ho any amin'i Hohama mpanjakan'i Hebrona, sy Pirama, mpanjakan'i Jarmota, sy Jafia, mpanjakan'i Lakisy, ary Debira, mpanjakan'i Eglona, ka nanao hoe:

³Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,

⁴Miakara atỳ amiko, ka manampia ahy, hamelezantsika an'i Gibeona; fa efa nanao fihavanana tamin'i Josoa sy ny Zanak'Isiraely izy.

⁴“Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.”

⁵Dia niangona ireo mpanjaka dimy tamin'ny Amorita ireo, dia ny mpanjakan'i Jerosalema, ny mpanjakan'i Hebrona, ny mpanjakan'i Jarmota, ny mpanjakan'i Lakisy, ary ny mpanjakan'i Eglona, ka niakatra izy sy ny miaramilany rehetra, ary nitoby tandrifin'i Gibeona ka namely azy.

⁵Therefore 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 armies, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.

⁶Ary ny mponina tao Gibeona dia naniraka olona ho any amin'i Josoa teo an-toby tany Gilgala hanao hoe: Aza mampiketraka ny tananao tsy hamonjy ny mpanomponao; miakara faingana ho atỳ aminay, ary vonjeo sy ampio izahay; fa miangona hamely anay ny mpanjaka rehetra amin'ny Amorita izay monina any amin'ny tany havoana.

⁶The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, “Don’t abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.”

⁷Dia niakatra niala tany Gilgala Josoa sy ny mpanafika rehetra teo aminy, dia ny lehilahy mahery rehetra.

⁷So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

⁸Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Josoa: Aza matahotra azy, fa efa natolotra eo an-tananao izy, ka tsy hisy hahajanona eo anoloanao izy na dia iray akory aza.

⁸Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you.”

⁹Ary tonga tampoka tamin'ireo Josoa; fa nanao lava alina-avy tany Gilgala izy.

⁹Joshua therefore came on them suddenly. He went up from Gilgal all night.

¹⁰Ary Jehovah nampifanaritaka ireo teo anoloan'ny Isiraely; ary namely ireo tany Gibeona izy ka nahafaty maro be, sady nanenjika azy tamin'ny fiakarana mankany Beti-horona izy ka namely azy hatrany Azeka ka hatrany Makeda.

¹⁰Yahweh confused them before Israel, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.

¹¹Ary nony nandositra teo anoloan'ny Isiraely teo am-pidinan'i Beti-horona izy, Jehovah dia nandatsaka havandra vaventy taminy avy tany an-danitra hatrany Azeka ka nahafaty azy; ary be lavitra ny matin'ny havandra noho izay novonoin'ny Zanak'Isiraely tamin'ny sabatra.

¹¹It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, that Yahweh cast down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than who the children of Israel killed with the sword.

¹²Ary tamin'izany Josoa dia niteny tamin'i Jehovah tamin'ny andro nanoloran'i Jehovah ny Amorita teo anoloan'ny Zanak'Isiraely ka nanao teo imason'ny Zanak'Isiraely hoe: Ry masoandro, mijanòna eo ambonin'i Gibeona; Ary, ianao kosa, ry volana, any an-dohasahan'i Aialona.[Heb. mangina]

¹²Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!”

¹³Dia nijanona ny masoandro, ary nijanona koa ny volana, Mandra-pamalin'ny olona ny fahavalony. Tsy efa voasoratra eo amin'ny Bokin'i Jasara va izany? Dia nijanona teo afovoan'ny lanitra ny masoandro ka tsy nandroso hilentika tokony ho indray andro maninjitra. [Heb. mangina][Jasara = Ilay mahitsy]

¹³The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.

¹⁴Ary tsy nisy andro tahaka izany, na tany alohany, na tato aoriany, izay nihainoan'i Jehovah ny feon'olona; fa Jehovah niady ho an'ny Isiraely.

¹⁴There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.

¹⁵Ary Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra dia niverina nankany an-toby tany Gilgala.

¹⁵Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.

¹⁶Ary nandositra ny mpanjaka dimy ka niery tao anatin'ilay zohy any Makeda.

¹⁶These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷Dia nolazaina tamin'i Josoa hoe: Indreo, miery ao anatin'ilay zohy any Makeda ny mpanjaka dimy.

¹⁷Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”

¹⁸Ary hoy Josoa: Manakodiava vato lehibe hatampina ny vavan'ny zohy, ary asio olona eo anoloany hiambina azy;

¹⁸Joshua said, “Roll large stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them;

¹⁹fa ianareo aza mijanona, fa manenjeha ny fahavalonareo, ka mameleza ny vodi-lalana; aza avela ho tafiditra any an-tanànany ireny, fa efa natolotr'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo eo an-tananareo.

¹⁹but don’t stay. Pursue your enemies, and them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.”

²⁰Ary rehefa voaringan'i Josoa sy ny Zanak'Isiraely mihitsy ireny mandra-pahalany ritrany, ka izay afa-nandositra no lasa niditra tany amin'ny tanàna mimanda,

²⁰It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

²¹dia niverina soa aman-tsara ho any amin'i Josoa teo an-toby tany Makeda ny vahoaka rehetra; ary tsy nisy sahy nanao vava ratsy tamin'ny Zanak'Isiraely intsony.[Heb. nandranitra ny lelany]

²¹that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

²²Dia hoy Josoa: Sokafy ny vavan'ny zohy, ka avoahy ao an-johy ireo mpanjaka dimy ireo hankatỳ amiko.

²²Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”

²³Dia nataon'ny olona izany, ka namoaka ireo mpanjaka dimy ireo avy tao an-johy izy ho eo aminy, dia ny mpanjakan'i Jerosalema, ny mpanjakan'i Hebrona, ny mpanjakan'i Jarmota, ny mpanjakan'i Lakisy, ary ny mpanjakan'i Eglona.

²³They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

²⁴Ary rehefa navoaka ireo mpanjaka ireo ka nentina ho eo amin'i Josoa, dia niantso ny lehilahy rehetra amin'ny Isiraely Josoa ka nanao tamin'ny mpitarika ny mpiady izay teo aminy hoe: Manatona, ka ataovy eo amin'ny vozon'ireto mpanjaka ireto ny tongotrareo. Dia nanatona izy ka nanao ny tongony teo amin'ny vozon'ireo.

²⁴It happened, when they brought those kings out to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, “Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came near, and put their feet on their necks.

²⁵Ary hoy Josoa taminy: Aza matahotra na mivadi-po ; mahereza sy matanjaha; fa toy izao no hataon'i Jehovah amin'ny fahavalonareo rehetra izay iadianareo.

²⁵Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for Yahweh will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight.”

²⁶Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia namely ireo Josoa ka nahafaty azy, ary nahantony tamin'ny hazo dimy ny fatiny; ka dia nihantona tamin'ny hazo izy mandra-paharivan'ny andro.

²⁶Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.

²⁷Ary tamin'ny nilentehan'ny masoandro dia nasain'i Josoa nesorina tamin'ny hazo izy ireo ka nariana tao anatin'ilay zohy niereny, ary nasiana vato lehibe teo amin'ny vavan'ny zohy, ka mbola ao izany mandraka androany.

²⁷It happened 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 in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.

²⁸Ary Makeda dia afak'i Josoa tamin'izany andro izany, ka nasiany tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra izy sy ny mpanjakany; ary ny olona rehetra tao dia naringany avokoa ka tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza; ary tahaka izay efa nataony tamin'ny mpanjakan'i Jeriko, no nataony tamin'ny mpanjakan'i Makeda koa.[Heb. nataony herema; izahao Lev. XXII. 28]

²⁸Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed them and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

²⁹Ary Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy dia niala tany Makeda ka nankany Libna ary namely azy;

²⁹Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.

³⁰dia natolotr'i Jehovah teo an-tànan'ny Isiraely koa izy sy ny mpanjakany, ka nasiany tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra izy mbamin'ny olona rehetra tao; tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza; ary tahaka izay efa nataony tamin'ny mpanjakan'i Jeriko no nataony tamin'ny mpanjakany koa.

³⁰Yahweh delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

³¹Dia niala tany Libna Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Lakisy, dia nitoby tandrifiny ka namely azy.

³¹Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.

³²Dia natolotr'i Jehovah teo an-tànan'ny Isiraely koa Lakisy, ka afany tamin'ny andro faharoa izy; dia nasiany tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra izy sy ny olona rehetra tao, tahaka izay rehetra efa nataony tamin'i Libna koa.

³²Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

³³Dia niakatra Horama, mpanjakan'i Gazera, hamonjy an'i Lakisy; dia nasian'i Josoa izy sy ny vahoakany mandra-paha-tsy nisy niangana.

³³Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

³⁴Dia niala tany Lakisy Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Eglona, dia nitoby tandrifiny ka namely azy;

³⁴Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it fought against it.

³⁵dia afany tamin'izany andro izany koa izy ka nasiany tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra; ary ny olona rehetra tao dia naringany tamin'izany andro izany, tahaka izay rehetra efa nataony tamin'i Lakisy.[Heb. nataony herema; izahao Lev. XXII. 28]

³⁵They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

³⁶Dia niakatra niala tany Eglona Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Hebrona ary namely azy;

³⁶Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.

³⁷dia afany koa izy, ka nasiany tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra izy sy ny mpanjakany sy ny tanànany rehetra ary ny olona rehetra tao; tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza, tahaka izay rehetra efa nataony tamin'i Eglona; fa naringany avokoa izy sy ny olona rehetra tao.[Heb. nataony herema; izahao Lev. XXII. 28]

³⁷They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.

³⁸Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ka nankany Debira ary namely azy;

³⁸Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.

³⁹dia azony koa izy sy ny mpanjakany ary ny tanànany rehetra; ary nasiany tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra Izy, ka naringany avokoa ny olona rehetra tao; fa tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza; tahaka izay efa nataony tamin'i Hebrona, dia toy izany koa no nataony tamin'i Debira sy ny mpanjakany, ary tahaka izay efa nataony tamin'i Libna sy ny mpanjakany koa.[Heb. nataony herema; izahao Lev. XXII. 28]

³⁹He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. 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.

⁴⁰Dia nasian'i Josoa ny tany rehetra sy ny mpanjakany rehetra, dia ny tany havoana sy ny tany atsimo sy ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka ary ny any ambodin'ny tendrombohitra; tsy nasiany niangana ireny, fa naringany avokoa ny olo-miaina rehetra, araka ny didin'i Jehovah. Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, [Heb. Sefela]

⁴⁰So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded.

⁴¹Dia nasian'i Josoa izy hatrany Kadesi-barnea ka hatrany Gaza, ary ny tany Gosena rehetra hatrany Gibeona.

⁴¹Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.

⁴²Ary ireo mpanjaka rehetra ireo sy ny taniny dia azon'i Josoa indray mandeha, satria Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no niady ho an'ny Isiraely.Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ho any an-toby tany Gilgala.

⁴²Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

⁴³Dia niverina Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra teo aminy ho any an-toby tany Gilgala.

⁴³Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
