Joshua 10:13 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015

Hivyo 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.

Joshua 10:13 in English

Joshua 10:13 · Berean Standard Bible

So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies.* Is this not written in the Book of Jashar?* “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”*

Context

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. 14Haijakuwepo siku nyingine kama hiyo kabla au baada, siku ambayo Bwana alimsikiliza mwanadamu. Hakika Bwana alikuwa akiwapigania Israeli. 15Ndipo Yoshua akarudi kambini huko Gilgali pamoja na Israeli yote.
