Joshua 11
1 Hote kamthang teh Hazar siangpahrang Jabin ni a thai torei teh, Madon siangpahrang Jobab, Shimron siangpahrang Akshaph siangpahrangnaw koehai thoseh,
When King Jabin of Hazor [city] heard [about all those things that had happened], he sent messages to Jobab, the king of Madon [city], to the king of Shimron [city], and to the king of Acshaph [city], [requesting them to send their armies to come and help him fight against the Israelis].
2 Mon dawk atunglah Khinneroth kho koe lah, tanghling dawk kaawm e, kanîloumlah kaawm e Dor ram dawk kaawm e, siangpahrangnaw koehai thoseh,
He also sent messages to the kings in the northern hilly area and to the kings in the Jordan [River] Valley, south of Galilee [Lake] and in the western hills. He sent a message to the king of Naphoth-Dor [in the west]
3 Kanîtho, kanîloumlah kaawm e Kanaannaw, mon dawk kaawm e Amornaw, Hitnaw, Periznaw, Jebusitnaw, Mizpah ram, hermon mon rahim kaawm e Hivnaw, aonae koe lah, a patoun teh,
and to the kings of the Canaan people-group in the eastern and western parts of the land. He sent messages to the Amor people-group and the Heth people-group and the Periz people-group and the Jebus people-group who lived in the hilly area. He also sent a message to the Hiv people-group who lived below Hermon [Mountain] in the Mizpah area.
4 Hote siangpahrangnaw teh, palang e sadi touk thai hoeh e yit touh, marangnaw, ranglengnaw, ransanaw, hoi a tâco awh.
So the armies of all those kings gathered together, bringing their horses and chariots. [There seemed to be] [HYP] as many soldiers as grains of sand on the seashore.
5 Hote siangpahrang abuemlah ni a kamkhueng awh teh, Isarelnaw tuk hanelah, a tho awh teh, Merom tui e teng vah cungtalah a roe awh.
All of those kings [and their armies] gathered together at Merom Pond, [and they set up their tents there]. Then they made plans to fight against the Israelis.
6 BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw taket hanh awh. Kai ni tangtho e hnin dawk Isarelnaw hmalah ahnimouh abuemlah kadout tangcoung e lah na poe awh han. Marang e khok tharuinaw na bouk awh han. Ranglengnaw hah hmai na sawi awh han telah Joshua koe kâ a poe.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, because at this time tomorrow I will enable your men to defeat them. Your men must also cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”
7 Joshua ni amae ransanaw abuemlah hoi Merom tie hmuen koe pouk laipalah a cei teh a tuk awh.
So Joshua and his army traveled to Merom Pond and attacked their enemies (by surprise/before they were ready to fight).
8 BAWIPA ni ahnimouh teh, Isarelnaw e a kut dawk a poe teh a thei awh. Sidon kho, Misrephothmaim kho, kanîtholah Mizpah tanghling totouh, a pâlei awh teh, buet touh hai pâhlung laipalah a thei awh.
Yahweh enabled the Israelis to defeat them. They pursued them to Sidon [city in the far north], and to Misrephoth-Maim [in the northwest], and to Mizpah Valley in the northeast. The Israelis fought them until (they were all dead/there were no survivors).
9 BAWIPA ni kâ poe e patetlah Joshua ni marang e khok tharuinaw a bouk pouh teh ranglengnaw hmai a sawi pouh awh.
Then Joshua and his men did what Yahweh told them to do: They crippled their enemies’ horses and burned their chariots.
10 Hahoi Joshua ni Hazar kho bout a tuk teh, siangpahrang hah tahloi hoi a thei. Hatnae tueng dawkvah, Hazor kho ni hote ramnaw hah a uk.
The king of Hazor had ruled the people of all the kingdoms whose armies had fought against the Israelis. So Joshua’s army went back to Hazor and captured that city and killed their king.
11 Kho thung e tami pueng hah tahloi hoi a thei awh teh, buet touh hai hring sak awh hoeh. Koung a raphoe awh teh, kho hai hmai a sawi awh.
They killed everyone in Hazor; (they did not spare anyone/no one was left alive) [DOU]. Then they burned the city.
12 BAWIPA Cathut e san Mosi koe kâ a poe e patetlah hote siangpahrangnaw ni a uk e khonaw pueng hoi siangpahrangnaw abuemlah, Joshua ni a tuk teh, tahloi hoi koung a thei.
Joshua’s army captured all of those cities and killed all of their kings. They did that like Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had commanded them to do.
13 Hatei, Hazor kho dei laipalah, alouklah mon dawk kaawm e kho pueng teh, Isarelnaw ni hmaisawi awh hoeh. Hazor kho buet touh dueng hah Joshua ni hmai a sawi.
Joshua’s men burned Hazor [city], but they did not burn any of the other cities that were built on small hills.
14 Hote khonaw dawk e hnopainaw hoi saring kaawm e pueng Isarelnaw ni amamouh hane a la awh. Taminaw koung a thei hoehroukrak tahloi hoi a thei awh. Buet touh hai kahring e awm sak awh hoeh.
The Israelis took for themselves the animals that they found in those cities and everything else [that was valuable] [DOU]. But they killed all the people.
15 BAWIPA Cathut ni amae san Mosi koe kâ a poe e patetlah Mosi ni Joshua koe patuen a dei pouh. Joshua ni hai telah a sak. BAWIPA ni Mosi koe kâ a poe e pueng a sak hoeh e buet touh hai awm hoeh.
[Many years before], Yahweh had told Moses to do that, and then Moses told Joshua to do it. So Joshua did everything that Yahweh had commanded Moses to do.
16 Hote Seir lam dawk kaawm e Halak mon koehoi Harmon mon a rahim,
Joshua’s [army] defeated all the people who were living in that land. They took control over the hilly area and the area in the southern part of Canaan, all the area of Goshen, the western foothills, and the Jordan [River] Valley. They took control over all the mountains in Israel and all the hills near the mountains.
17 Lebanon tanghling dawk kaawm e Baalgad kho totouh, mon dawk e, mon hoi akalae hmuen Goshen ram tanghlingnaw, Isarel mon, Isarel tanghling hoi hote ram abuemlah Joshua ni a la teh, siangpahrangnaw abuemlah a tâ teh, koung a thei.
They took control of all the land from Halak Mountain [in the south] up to the Seir [hilly area] as far as Baal-Gaal in Lebanon Valley [in the north], at the bottom of Hermon Mountain. They captured all the kings of those areas and killed them.
18 Hote siangpahrangnaw pueng hah atueng moikasawlah a tuk.
Joshua’s men fought against those groups for many years.
19 Hivnaw, Gibeon khonaw dei laipalah Isarelnaw hoi huikonae ka tawn e kho buet touh hai awm hoeh. Alouke khonaw pueng a tuk awh teh, a tâ e pueng a la awh.
There was only one group that made a peace agreement with the Israelis; they were the people of the Hiv people-group who lived in Gibeon. The Israelis captured all the other towns in battles.
20 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut ni Mosi koe kâ a poe e patetlah hote taminaw koe pahrennae awm laipalah, abuemlah koung pâmit sak hanelah a ngam totouh a lungthin ka patak sak e lah, BAWIPA Cathut a ma ngainae doeh.
Yahweh caused the people in all those other groups to be stubborn [IDM], with the result that they fought against the Israeli army, and the Israelis killed them all. They were not merciful to any of them. That is what Yahweh had commanded Moses to do.
21 Hatnae tueng nah, Joshua ni a cei teh, Anakim taminaw mon dawk kaawm e Hebron kho, Debir kho, Anab kho, Judah mon, Isarel mon kaawm e pueng, khonaw koung a raphoe teh, hote khonaw khuehoi koung a raphoe.
Joshua’s army also fought the Anak people-group who lived in the hills near Hebron, Debir, and Anah [cities]. They also fought against the people who lived in the hilly area of Judah and Israel, and they killed all of those people and destroyed their cities.
22 Gaza kho, Gath kho, Asdod kho, hoeh laipalah, Isarel ram thung dawk kaawm e Anakim taminaw buet touh hai awm hoeh.
As a result, there were no descendants of Anak who remained alive in Israel. Only a few remained alive in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod [cities].
23 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe kâ a poe e patetlah Joshua ni hote ram pueng a la teh, Isarelnaw râw lah lengkaleng a poe teh, ram pueng dawk taran teh a roum.
Joshua’s army took control of all the land, just as Yahweh [long ago] had told Moses to do. Yahweh gave the land to the Israelis, because he had promised to give it to them. Then Joshua divided the land among the Israeli tribes. After that, there was (peace/no more battles) in the land.
