< 約書亞記 11 >
1 夏瑣王耶賓聽見這事,就打發人去見瑪頓王約巴、伸崙王、押煞王,
And whe Iabin King of Hazor had heard this, then he sent to Iobab King of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 與北方山地、基尼烈南邊的亞拉巴高原,並西邊多珥山岡的諸王;
And vnto the Kings that were by ye North in the mountaines and plaines toward the Southside of Cinneroth, and in the valleys, and in the borders of Dor Westward,
3 又去見東方和西方的迦南人,與山地的亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、耶布斯人,並黑門山根米斯巴地的希未人。
And vnto the Canaanites, both by East, and by West, and vnto the Amorites, and Hittites, and Perizzites, and Iebusites in the mountaines, and vnto the Hiuites vnder Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
4 這些王和他們的眾軍都出來,人數多如海邊的沙,並有許多馬匹車輛。
And they came out and all their hostes with them, many people as the sande that is on the sea shore for multitude, with horses and charets exceeding many.
5 這諸王會合,來到米倫水邊,一同安營,要與以色列人爭戰。
So all these Kings met together, and came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, for to fight against Israel.
6 耶和華對約書亞說:「你不要因他們懼怕。明日這時,我必將他們交付以色列人全然殺了。你要砍斷他們馬的蹄筋,用火焚燒他們的車輛。」
Then the Lord sayd vnto Ioshua, Be not afrayd for them: for to morowe about this time will I deliuer them all slaine before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burne their charets with fire.
7 於是約書亞率領一切兵丁,在米倫水邊突然向前攻打他們。
Then came Ioshua and al the men of warre with him against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell vpon them.
8 耶和華將他們交在以色列人手裏,以色列人就擊殺他們,追趕他們到西頓大城,到米斯利弗‧瑪音,直到東邊米斯巴的平原,將他們擊殺,沒有留下一個。
And the Lord gaue them into the hand of Israel: and they smote them, and chased them vnto great Zidon, and vnto Misrephothmaim, and vnto the valley of Mizpeh Eastward, and smote them vntill they had none remaining of them.
9 約書亞就照耶和華所吩咐他的去行,砍斷他們馬的蹄筋,用火焚燒他們的車輛。
And Ioshua did vnto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their charets with fire.
10 當時,約書亞轉回奪了夏瑣,用刀擊殺夏瑣王。(素來夏瑣在這諸國中是為首的。)
At that time also Ioshua turned backe, and tooke Hazor, and smote the King thereof with the sword: for Hazor before time was the head of all those kingdomes.
11 以色列人用刀擊殺城中的人口,將他們盡行殺滅;凡有氣息的沒有留下一個。約書亞又用火焚燒夏瑣。
Moreouer, they smote all the persons that were therein with the edge of the sworde, vtterly destroying all, leauing none aliue, and hee burnt Hazor with fire.
12 約書亞奪了這些王的一切城邑,擒獲其中的諸王,用刀擊殺他們,將他們盡行殺滅,正如耶和華僕人摩西所吩咐的。
So all ye cities of those Kings, and all the kings of them did Ioshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and vtterly destroyed them, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded.
13 至於造在山岡上的城,除了夏瑣以外,以色列人都沒有焚燒。約書亞只將夏瑣焚燒了。
But Israel burnt none of the cities that stoode still in their strength, saue Hazor onely, that Ioshua burnt.
14 那些城邑所有的財物和牲畜,以色列人都取為自己的掠物;惟有一切人口都用刀擊殺,直到殺盡;凡有氣息的沒有留下一個。
And all the spoyle of these cities and the cattel the children of Israel tooke for their praye, but they smote euery man with the edge of the sword vntill they had destroyed them, not leauing one aliue.
15 耶和華怎樣吩咐他僕人摩西,摩西就照樣吩咐約書亞,約書亞也照樣行。凡耶和華所吩咐摩西的,約書亞沒有一件懈怠不行的。
As the Lord had commanded Moses his seruant, so did Moses commande Ioshua, and so did Ioshua: he left nothing vndone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
16 約書亞奪了那全地,就是山地、一帶南地、歌珊全地、高原、亞拉巴、以色列的山地,和山下的高原。
So Ioshua tooke all this land of the mountaines, and all the South, and all the lande of Goshen, and the lowe countrey, and the plaine, and the mountaine of Israel, and the lowe countrey of the same,
17 從上西珥的哈拉山,直到黑門山下黎巴嫩平原的巴力‧迦得,並且擒獲那些地的諸王,將他們殺死。
From the mount Halak, that goeth vp to Seir, euen vnto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon, vnder mount Hermon: and all their Kings he tooke, and smote them, and slewe them.
Ioshua made warre long time with all those Kings,
19 除了基遍的希未人之外,沒有一城與以色列人講和的,都是以色列人爭戰奪來的。
Neither was there any citie that made peace with the children of Israel, saue those Hiuites that inhabited Gibeon: all other they tooke by battell.
20 因為耶和華的意思是要使他們心裏剛硬,來與以色列人爭戰,好叫他們盡被殺滅,不蒙憐憫,正如耶和華所吩咐摩西的。
For it came of the Lord, to harden their heartes that they shoulde come against Israel in battell to the intent that they shoulde destroye them vtterly, and shewe them no mercie, but that they shoulde bring them to nought: as the Lord had commanded Moses.
21 當時約書亞來到,將住山地、希伯崙、底璧、亞拿伯、猶大山地、以色列山地所有的亞衲族人剪除了。約書亞將他們和他們的城邑盡都毀滅。
And that same season came Ioshua, and destroyed the Anakims out of the mountaines: as out of Hebron, out of Debir, out of Anab, and out of all the mountaines of Iudah, and out of all the mountaines of Israel: Ioshua destroyed them vtterly with their cities.
22 在以色列人的地沒有留下一個亞衲族人,只在迦薩、迦特,和亞實突有留下的。
There was no Anakim left in the lande of the children of Israel: onely in Azzah, in Gath, and in Ashdod were they left.
23 這樣,約書亞照着耶和華所吩咐摩西的一切話奪了那全地,就按着以色列支派的宗族將地分給他們為業。於是國中太平,沒有爭戰了。
So Ioshua tooke the whole land, according to all that the Lord had saide vnto Moses: and Ioshua gaue it for an inheritance vnto Israel according to their portion through their tribes: then the land was at rest without warre.
