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, that, when Yabin the king of Chazor heard these things, he sent to Yobab the 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 at the north, on the mountains, and in the plains, south of Kinneroth, and in the lowlands, and in the district 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。
To the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Emorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the mountains, and to the Hivites under Chermon in the land of Mizpah.
4 他們都帶領自己所有的軍隊和車輛。
And they went out, they and all their camps with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, and with very many horses and chariots.
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 all these kings assembled themselves together, and they came and encamped 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 tomorrow about this time will I give all of them up slain before Israel: their horses shalt thou hamstring and their chariots shalt thou burn 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。
And Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon 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 pursued them unto great Zidon, and unto Missrephoth-mayim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none that escaped.
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 had said unto him: their horses he hamstringed and their chariots he burnt 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 captured Chazor, and its kings he smote with the sword; for Chazor aforetimes was the head of all these 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, and devoted them; there was not left any one having breath; and Chazor he burnt 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 these kings, and all their kings, did Joshua capture, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and he devoted them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had 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 had been left standing in their strength, these did Israel not burn: save Chazor only 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, did the children of Israel take as booty unto themselves; but all the men they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them: they left not any one having breath.
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 had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua: he left nothing undone of all that the Lord had 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，
And Joshua took all that land, the mountain, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowlands, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and its lowlands;
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。
From the bald mountain that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Chermon; and all their kings he captured, and smote them, and slew them.
18 若蘇厄同這些王子交戰，時日頗為長久，
A long time did Joshua make war with all these 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 Gib'on: the whole they took by war.
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 of the Lord it was to harden their heart, that they should come against Israel in battle, in order to destroy them utterly, that they might obtain no favor: but in order that he might exterminate them, as the Lord had 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 Joshua came at that time, and cut off the 'Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from 'Anab, and from the whole mountain of Judah, and from the whole mountain of Israel: with their cities did Joshua destroy them utterly.
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 'Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gazzah, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained some.
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。
And Joshua' took the whole land, all just as the Lord had spoken unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
