And it comes to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor hears, that he sends to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 tlangpuei tlang neh Kinnereth tuithim kolken kah manghai rhoek te khaw, kolrhawk neh khotlak Dore khamyai kah khaw a tah.
and to the kings who [are] on the north in the hill-country, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the low country, and in the elevations of Dor, on the west,
3 Khocuk khotlak kah Kanaan neh Amori, Khitti, Perizzi khaw, tlang kah Jebusi neh Mizpah kho Hermon kungdak kah Khivee kah khaw, a tah.
[to] the Canaanite on the east, and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh—
4 Te dongah amih te a lambong boeih neh pilnam loh tuipuei tuikaeng kah laivin bangla muep ha pawk uh tih a marhang khaw khawk, a leng khaw muep yet.
and they go out, they and all their camps with them, a people numerous, as the sand which [is] on the seashore for multitude, and [with] very many horse and charioteer;
5 Tekah manghai rhoek loh boeih tuentah uh thae tih ha suntla uh. Te phoeiah Israel tloek ham Merom kah tui taengah tun rhaeh uh.
and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

And YHWH says to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of their presence, for about this time tomorrow I am giving all of them slain before Israel; hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.”
7 Te dongah Joshua amah neh caemtloek pilnam boeih loh Merom tui taengah thaeng cet tih amih te a tloek uh.
And Joshua comes, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom, and they suddenly fall on them;

and YHWH gives them into the hand of Israel, and they strike them and pursue them to the great Sidon, and to Misrephoth-Maim, and to the Valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they strike them, until he has not left a remnant to them;
9 BOEIPA loh a uen vanbangla Joshua loh amih taengah a saii. A marhang khaw a haih pah tih a leng te khaw hmai neh a hoeh pah.
and Joshua does to them as YHWH commanded to him; he has hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
10 Tekah khohnin dongah Joshua loh ha bal tih Hazor neh Hazor manghai te a buem. Hazor tah a hmai ah ram takuem kah a lu la a om dongah cunghang neh a ngawn.
And Joshua turns back at that time, and captures Hazor, and he has struck its king by the sword; for Hazor [was] formerly head of all these kingdoms;
11 A khuikah hinglu boeih te khaw cunghang ha neh a ngawn tih hiil aka khueh boeih a hlun mueh la a thup phoeiah Hazor te hmai neh a hoeh.
and they strike every person who [is] in it by the mouth of the sword; he has devoted—he has not left anyone breathing, and he has burned Hazor with fire;
12 Te dongah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh a uen vanbangla manghai khopuei boeih neh a manghai boeih te Joshua loh a buem vaengah cunghang ha neh a ngawn tih a thup.
and all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, Joshua has captured, and he strikes them by the mouth of the sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded.
13 Tedae som kah aka pai khopuei boeih te Israel loh hoeh pawt tih Hazor amah bueng ni Joshua loh a hoeh.
Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel has not burned them—except Joshua has burned Hazor, only;
14 Khopuei rhoek kah kutbuem boeih neh rhamsa te Israel ca rhoek loh amamih ham a poel a yoeuh. Tedae hlang boeih te cunghang ha neh a ngawn tih hiil aka khueh boeih tah a mit a moeng hilah hlun voel pawh.
and all the spoil of these cities, and the livestock, the sons of Israel have spoiled for themselves; only, they have struck every man by the mouth of the sword, until their destroying them; they have not left anyone breathing.
15 BOEIPA loh a sal Moses a uen vanbangla Joshua te khaw Moses loh a uen. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen olka boeih te a hmaii mueh la Joshua loh a saii.
As YHWH commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua has done; he has not turned aside a thing of all that YHWH commanded Moses.
16 Te dongah Joshua loh tlang kah khohmuen tom neh Negev pum khaw, Goshen khohmuen pum neh kolrhawk Arabah khaw, Israel tlang neh kolrhawk khaw,
And Joshua takes all this land: the hill-country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, even the hill-country of Israel and its low lands,

from the Mount of Halak, which is going up [to] Seir, and to Ba‘al-Gad, in the Valley of Lebanon, under Mount Hermon; and he has captured all their kings, and he strikes them, and puts them to death.
18 Tekah manghai boeih te Joshua loh caemtloek neh a saii vaengah khohnin long khaw muep puh.
Joshua has made war with all these kings [for] many days;
19 Gibeon kah khosa Khivee pawt atah Israel ca rhoek taengah moi aka thuung a om pawt dongah khopuei te caem neh boeih a loh.
there has not been a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivite, inhabitants of Gibeon; they have taken the whole in battle;
20 Amih loh BOEIPA taengah a lungbuei aka pom la om tih Israel te caem neh a mah uh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla amih te mitmoeng sak ham lungmacil om mueh la a thup sak.
for it has been from YHWH to strengthen their heart, to meet in battle with Israel, in order to devote them, so that they have no grace, but in order to destroy them, as YHWH commanded Moses.
21 Te vaeng tue ah Joshua loh a paan bal tih Hebron, Debir, Anab tlang lamkah Anakim khaw, Judah tlang pum, Israel tlang boeih neh a khopuei rhoek te khaw a saii pah tih amih te Joshua amah loh a thup.
And Joshua comes at that time, and cuts off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; Joshua has devoted them with their cities.
22 Israel ca khohmuen ah Anakim tah hlun pawh. Gaza, Gath neh Ashdod kah bueng ni a sueng.
There has not been Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, were they left.
23 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses boeih a uen vanbangla khohmuen pum te Joshua loh a loh. Te phoeiah Israel taengah amah koca kah boelnah bangla Joshua rho a paek tih khohmuen khaw caemtloek lamloh mong van.
And Joshua takes the whole of the land, according to all that YHWH has spoken to Moses, and Joshua gives it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes; and the land has rest from war.
