Joshua 10:11 in English
Joshua 10:11 · Berean Standard Bible
As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
Context
9Baada ya Yoshua kutembea usiku kucha kutoka Gilgali, akawashambulia ghafula. 10Bwana akawafadhaisha mbele ya Waisraeli, nao wakawashinda kwa ushindi mkuu huko Gibeoni. Israeli wakawafukuza kuelekea njia iendayo Beth-Horoni wakiwaua mpaka kufikia njia iendayo Azeka na Makeda. 11Walipokuwa wakikimbia mbele ya Israeli kwenye barabara iteremkayo kutoka Beth-Horoni hadi Azeka, Bwana akawavumishia mawe makubwa ya mvua kutoka mbinguni, na wengi wao wakauawa na hayo mawe kuliko wale waliouawa kwa upanga wa Waisraeli. 12Katika siku ile ambayo Bwana aliwapeana Waamori kwa Israeli, Yoshua akanena na Bwana akiwa mbele ya Waisraeli akasema:
“Wewe jua, simama juu ya Gibeoni,
wewe mwezi, tulia juu ya Bonde la Aiyaloni.” 13Hivyo jua likasimama,
nao mwezi ukatulia,
hadi taifa hilo lilipokwisha
kujilipizia kisasi kwa adui wake,
kama ilivyoandikwa katika Kitabu cha Yashari.
Jua likasimama kimya katikati ya mbingu, likachelewa kuzama muda wa siku moja nzima.
