< Joshua 11 >

1 When Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻa Sapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Hasoa ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fekau ia kia Sopapi ko e tuʻi ʻo Matoni, pea ki he tuʻi ʻo Similoni, pea ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAkisafi,
2 and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,
Pea ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻoku ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi he ngaahi toafa ʻo Kineloti, pea ʻi he teleʻa, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻo Toa ki he potu hihifo,
3 to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
[Pea ki he ]kakai Kēnani ʻi he potu hahake, pea ki lulunga, pea ki he kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Heti, mo e kakai Pelesi, mo e kakai Sepusi ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ki he kakai Hevi ʻi lalo ʻi Heamoni ʻi he fonua ko Misipa.
4 They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu kituaʻā, ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi tau kotoa pē, ko e fuʻu kakai lahi, ʻo hangē hono tokolahi ko e ʻoneʻone ʻoku ʻi he matātahi, mo e ngaahi hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote lahi ʻaupito.
5 All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
Pea ʻi he fakakātoa ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ni, naʻa nau haʻu ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he ngaahi vai ʻo Melomi, kenau tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.
6 The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē koeʻuhi ko kinautolu: he ko e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi te u tuku ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli: te ke tutuʻu ʻae uoua [ʻoe vaʻe ]ʻo ʻenau fanga hoosi, pea tutu ʻenau ngaahi saliote ʻi he afi.”
7 So Joshua came suddenly, with all the warriors, against them by the waters of Merom, and attacked them.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu fakafokifā ai ʻa Siosiua mo e kakai tau kotoa pē mo ia, kiate kinautolu ki he ngaahi vai ʻo Melomi; pea naʻa nau ʻoho atu kiate kinautolu.
8 The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward. They struck them until they left them no one remaining.
Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli, pea nau taaʻi ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe tuli ʻakinautolu ki Saitoni lahi, pea ki Misilefotimeimi, pea ki he teleʻa ʻo Misipa ki he potu hahake; pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻikai tuku ha niʻihi ke toe.
9 Joshua did to them as the LORD told him. He hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia: ne ne tutuʻu ʻae uoua ʻoe vaʻe ʻo ʻenau fanga hoosi, pea ne tutu ʻenau ngaahi saliote ʻaki ʻae afi.
10 Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor used to be the head of all those kingdoms.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo ne maʻu ʻa Hasoa, ʻo ne taaʻi hono tuʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā: he ko Hasoa ko e ʻulu ia ʻi muʻa ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ni kotoa pē.
11 They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burned Hazor with fire.
Pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: naʻe ʻikai ha niʻihi ke toe ke moʻui: pea naʻa ne tutu ʻa Hasoa ʻaki ʻae afi.
12 Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
Pea ko e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ko ia, pea mo honau ngaahi tuʻi, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosiua, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻo ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova.
13 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burned that.
Ka koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kolo naʻe kei tuʻu pe ʻi honau mālohi, naʻe ʻikai tutu ia ʻe ʻIsileli, ka ko Hasoa pē: ko ia ia naʻe tutu ʻe Siosiua.
14 The children of Israel took all the plunder of these cities, with the livestock, as plunder for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They did not leave any who breathed.
Pea ko e meʻa vete kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi kolo ni, mo e fanga manu, naʻe toʻo ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko e koloa kiate kinautolu; ka naʻa nau taaʻi ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ke ʻoua kenau ʻauha ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau tuku ha niʻihi ke moʻui.
15 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.
Hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese, naʻe pehē pe hono fekauʻi ʻe Mōsese ʻa Siosiua, pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Siosiua: naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha meʻa ʻe taha taʻefai, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese.
16 So Joshua captured all that land, the hill country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same,
Ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻae fonua kotoa pē, ko e ngaahi moʻunga, mo e ngaahi fonua ki he potu tonga, mo e fonua kotoa pē ko Koseni, mo e teleʻa, mo e toafa, mo e moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e tafangafanga ʻo ia;
17 from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.
‌ʻIo, mei he moʻunga ko Halaki, ʻoku ʻalu hake ki Seia, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki Peali-kata ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Lepanoni ʻi lalo ʻi he moʻunga ko Heamoni: mo honau ngaahi tuʻi naʻa ne maʻu, ʻo taaʻi, mo tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
Naʻe fai fuoloa ʻe Siosiua ʻae tau mo e ngaahi tuʻi ko ia.
19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all in battle.
Naʻe ʻikai ha kolo naʻe fakalelei mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ka ko e kakai Hevi ʻoku nofo ʻi Kipione: ko hono toe kotoa pē naʻa nau lavaʻi ʻi he tau.
20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
He naʻe ʻia Sihova ke fakafefeka honau loto, koeʻuhi kenau haʻu angatuʻu ki ʻIsileli ke tau, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu, pea ke ʻoua naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ʻofa, ka koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
21 Joshua came at that time, and cut 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 utterly destroyed them with their cities.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Siosiua ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo ne motuhi ʻae kau ʻAnaki mei he ngaahi moʻunga, mei Hepeloni, mo Tipa, mo ʻAnapi, pea mei he moʻunga kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, pea mei he ngaahi moʻunga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: naʻe fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua mo ʻenau ngaahi kolo.
22 There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
Naʻe ʻikai hano toe ʻoe kau ʻAnaki ʻi he fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ka naʻe toe [ha niʻihi ]ʻi Kesa, mo Kati, pea ʻi ʻAsitoti.
23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
Ko ia, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻae fonua kotoa, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese; pea naʻe foaki ia ʻe Siosiua ki ʻIsileli ko honau tofiʻa, ʻo fakatatau ki he vahevahe ʻo honau ngaahi faʻahinga. Pea naʻe mālōlō ʻae fonua mei he tau.
