Joshua 11
1 And when Jabin, the king of Hazor, had heard these things, he sent to Jobab, the king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Ɛberɛ a Hasorhene Yabin tee asɛm a asi no, ɔtoo ahemfo a wɔdidi so yi nkra dendeenden: Madonhene Yobab, Simronhene ne Aksafhene;
2 also to the kings of the north, who were living in the mountains, and in the plains opposite the southern region of Chinneroth, and also in the plains and the regions of Dor, beside the sea,
ahemfo a wɔwɔ atifi fam mmepɔ so, ahemfo a wɔwɔ Yordan Bɔnhwa a ɛda Galilea anafoɔ fam; ahemfo a wɔwɔ atɔeɛ fam nkokoɔ so; ahemfo a wɔwɔ Nafɔt Dor atɔeɛ fam;
3 also to the Canaanites, from east to west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, also to the Hivite who was living at the base of Hermon, in the land of Mizpah.
Kanaan ahemfo a wɔwɔ apueeɛ ne atɔeɛ; Amorifoɔ ahemfo ne Hetifoɔ ahemfo ne Perisifoɔ ahemfo ne ahemfo a wɔwɔ Yebusifoɔ mmepɔ asase so; ne Hewifoɔ a wɔwɔ nkuro a ɛwɔ Hermon bepɔ ase wɔ Mispa asase so.
4 And they all went forth with their troops, a people exceedingly numerous, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea. And their horses and chariots were an immense multitude.
Saa ahemfo yi nyinaa gyee pene, boaboaa wɔn akodɔm ano sɛ wɔbɛka abɔ mu ako atia Israel. Wɔn akodɔm no nyinaa, apɔnkɔ dodoɔ ne nteaseɛnam yɛɛ asase no so ma te sɛ mpoano anwea.
5 And all these kings assembled at the waters of Merom, so that they might fight against Israel.
Wɔbɔɔ wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ asuo a ɛbɛn Merom ho sɛ wɔrebɛko atia Israel.
6 And the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear them. For tomorrow, at this same hour, I will deliver all these to be wounded in the sight of Israel. You will hamstring their horses, and you will burn their chariots with fire.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Nsuro wɔn. Ɔkyena sɛsɛɛ berɛ mu na wɔn nyinaa atotɔ. Bubu wɔn apɔnkɔ no nan na hye wɔn nteaseɛnam no.”
7 And Joshua, and the entire army with him, came against them suddenly, at the waters of Merom, and they rushed upon them.
Na Yosua ne nʼakodɔm kɔɔ Merom asuo no ho kɔto hyɛɛ wɔn so mpofirim.
8 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel. And they struck them, and they pursued them as far as the great Sidon, and the waters of Misrephoth, and the field of Mizpeh, which is toward the eastern region. He struck them all, so that nothing was left of them to remain.
Na Awurade ma wɔdii wɔn atamfoɔ no so nkonim. Israelfoɔ no taa wɔn ara kɔsii Sidon Kɛseɛ ne Misrefot-Maim ho ne Mispa Bɔnhwa no mu wɔ apueeɛ fam, kɔsii sɛ atamfoɔ no akofoɔ baako mpo anka.
9 And he did just as the Lord had instructed him. He hamstrung their horses, and he burned their chariots with fire.
Ɛnna Yosua bubuu apɔnkɔ no nan, sane hyee nteaseɛnam no sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no.
10 And turning back, he immediately seized Hazor. And he struck down its king with the sword. For Hazor, from antiquity, held the first position among all these kingdoms.
Yosua sane nʼakyi bɛgyee Hasor kuro no faeɛ, kumm ɛhɔ ɔhene. (Na anka Hasor yɛ saa ahemman nkabom no nyinaa kuropɔn.)
11 And he struck down all the souls that were staying there. He did not leave in it any remains, but he destroyed everything unto utter annihilation, and he destroyed the city itself with fire.
Israelfoɔ no sɛee biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ kuropɔn no so. Wɔannya ɔkra fua mpo. Na Yosua too Hasor kuropɔn no mu ogya.
12 And he seized, struck, and destroyed all the surrounding cities and their kings, just as Moses, the servant of God, had instructed him.
Yosua kunkumm ahemfo a aka no nyinaa ne wɔn manfoɔ sɛee wɔn pasaa sɛdeɛ Mose, Awurade ɔsomfoɔ, hyɛɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
13 And except for the cities that were on hills and in elevated places, the rest Israel burned. One only, highly-fortified Hazor, was consumed with fire.
Mmom, Yosua anhye kuropɔn biara a ɛsi esie so gye Hasor.
14 And the sons of Israel divided among themselves all the plunder of these cities, and the cattle, putting to death all persons.
Na Israelfoɔ no faa asadeɛ ne anantwie a wɔwɔ nkuro mmubuiɛ no mu nanso wɔkumm emu nnipa no nyinaa.
15 Just as the Lord had instructed his servant Moses, so did Moses instruct Joshua, and he fulfilled everything. He did not omit even one word out of all the commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
Sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Mose no, saa ara na Mose nso hyɛɛ Yosua. Na Yosua nso yɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔka kyerɛɛ no no, dii deɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no nyinaa so.
16 And so Joshua seized the entire land of the mountains, and of the south, and the land of Goshen, and the plains, and the western region, and the mountain of Israel, and its plains.
Enti, Yosua ko gyee ɔmantam no nyinaa a ɛyɛ mmepɔ ɔman, Negeb, Gosen asase, atɔeɛ fam nkokoɔ, Yordan Bɔnhwa, Israel mmepɔ ne nsase tata faeɛ.
17 As for the part of the mountain that ascends to Seir, as far as Baalgad, along the plain of Lebanon under mount Hermon, all their kings he seized, struck down, and killed.
Enti afei, Israel nsase bɛyɛɛ deɛ ɛfiri Halak bepɔ a ɛkɔsi Seir wɔ atifi fam toaso kɔ Baal-Gad a ɛwɔ Bepɔ Hermon ase wɔ Lebanon bɔnhwa mu. Yosua kunkumm nsase no so ahemfo nyinaa,
18 For a long time, Joshua fought against these kings.
wɔ mmerɛ tenten akokoakoko mu.
19 There was not a city that delivered itself to the sons of Israel, except the Hivites who were living at Gibeon. For he seized it all in warfare.
Kuro biara nni ɔmantam yi mu a ɔne Israelfoɔ yɛɛ asomdwoeɛ apam gye sɛ Hewifoɔ a wɔte Gibeon no. Wɔdii wɔn a aka no nyinaa so nkonim.
20 For it was the sentence of the Lord that their hearts would be hardened, and that they would fight against Israel and fall, and that they did not deserve any clemency, and that they should perish, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Awurade pirim wɔn akoma ma wɔko tiaa Israelfoɔ wɔ ɛberɛ a anka ɛsɛ sɛ wɔ ne wɔn yɛ asomdwoeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ. Enti wɔsɛee wɔn pasaa a ahummɔborɔ biara nni mu sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
21 In that time, Joshua went and put to death the Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron and Debir and Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah and Israel. And he destroyed their cities.
Saa ɛberɛ no mu, Yosua tɔree Anak asefoɔ a na wɔte bepɔ nkuro Hebron, Debir, Anab ne bepɔman Yuda ne Israel nyinaa ase. Ɔkumm wɔn nyinaa na ɔsɛee wɔn nkuro no pasaa.
22 He did not leave any from the stock of the Anakim in the land of the sons of Israel, except the cities of Gaza, and Gath, and Ashdod, which alone were left behind.
Wɔn mu fua koraa anka wɔ Israel asase so, mmom, wɔn mu bi kaa Gasa, Gat ne Asdod.
23 Thus, Joshua seized all the land, just as the Lord spoke to Moses, and he delivered it as a possession to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions and tribes. And the land rested from battles.
Enti, Yosua faa asase no nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no. Ɔde maa Israelfoɔ sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ sononko kyekyɛɛ mu maa mmusuakuo no. Enti awieeɛ no asase no so dwoeɛ.
