約書亞記 11
1 哈祚爾王雅一聽見這事，便派人去見瑪冬王，史默龍王，阿革沙夫王，
And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard [those things], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 和住在北方山區，基乃勒特南方平原低地，和西方的多爾高原諸王；
And to the kings that [were] on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,
3 又去見東西各地的客納罕人、阿摩黎人、希威人、培黎齊人，以及住在山區的耶步斯人，和赫爾孟山麓米茲帕地方的赫特人。
[And to] the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and [to] the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and [to] the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
4 他們都帶領自己所有的軍隊和車輛。
And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that [is] upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
5 這些王子都合一起來，來到默龍水邊紮營，要同以色列人交戰。
And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
6 上主對若蘇厄說：「在這些人面前，你不要害怕，因為明天這時，我必要使他們全在以色列人面前被殺；你要砍斷他們的馬蹄筋，火燒他們的車輛。」
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
7 若蘇厄遂率領自己的軍民突至默龍水旁，向他們進攻。
So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
8 上主將他們交在以色列人手中，以色列人擊殺他們，往西直追到大漆冬和米斯勒佛特瑪殷，往東直追到米茲帕山谷，將他們殺得沒有剩下一個。
And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
9 若蘇厄便照上主指示他的，對待了他們，砍斷了他們的馬碲筋，火燒了他們的車輛。
And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 若蘇厄班師回來時，奪取了哈祚爾，用刀斬了哈祚爾王。──原來哈祚爾以前是這些王國的都城。
And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
11 又將城內的一切生靈，用刀殺死，完全予以毀滅，沒有留下一個生靈，以後放火燒了哈祚爾城。
And they smote all the souls that [were] therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying [them: ] there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
12 若蘇厄奪取了那些王子的一切城邑，生摛那些王子，用刀將他們殺死，將城池完全予以毀滅，全照上主的僕人梅瑟所吩咐的。
And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, [and] he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
13 至於那些處於土丘上的城市，除哈祚爾外，以色列人都沒有焚毀：若蘇厄只燒了哈祚爾。
But [as for] the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; [that] did Joshua burn.
14 那些城中所有的財物和牲畜，以色列人都搶了來，歸為己有：所有的人都用刀殺死，完全予以毀滅，沒有留下一個生靈。
And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
15 上主怎樣吩咐衪的僕人梅瑟，梅瑟也怎樣吩咐了若蘇厄，若蘇厄也就怎樣辦了。凡上主吩咐梅瑟的事，若蘇厄沒有不照辦的。
As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.
16 這樣，若蘇厄佔領了那整個地區：包括山地，整個南方，哥笙全境，平原，阿辣巴原野，以色列山地和附近平原，
So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
17 由上色依爾去的哈拉克山起，一直到赫爾孟山麓，黎巴嫩山谷間的巴爾加得：各城的王子都被生摛，都被殺死。
[Even] from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
18 若蘇厄同這些王子交戰，時日頗為長久，
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
19 因為除住在基貝紅的希威人外，沒有一座城願與以色列子民媾和，都是以色列人用武力攻取的。
There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all [other] they took in battle.
20 原來這是上主的意思，叫他們心硬，來與以色列人交戰，好使他們遭受無情的毀滅，澈底的破壞，正如上主對梅瑟所吩咐的
For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, [and] that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
21 以後若蘇厄出兵，消滅了赫貝龍、德彼爾、阿納布山地、猶大山地和以色列山地所有的阿納克人，毀滅了他們和他們所有的城市。
And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
22 這樣以色列子民境內，沒有剩下一個阿納克人，只在迦薩、加特和阿布多得還有。
There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
23 若蘇厄佔領了那整個地區，全如上主對梅瑟所說的；若蘇厄遂將這地區按照以色列支派分給他們作產業。以後國內昇平，再無戰事。
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
