< Joshua 11 >

1 When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard about what happened, he sent a message to Jobab, king of Madon, to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph,
Hazor lengpa Jabin in thilsoh hohi ajah phatnin avella lengho hi kouna thu athotnin, Madon lengpa Jobab, Shimron lengpa, Aeshaph lengpa,
2 and to the kings of the northern hill country, the Jordan Valley south of Kinnereth, the western foothills, and the foothills of Dor to the west,
Sahlam gamkaija lengho jouse, Galibe lhanglang Jordan phaicham gamma lengho, Galibe molbulla lengho, lhumlam Naphethder lengho,
3 to the kings of the Canaanites, both east and west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites living near Mount Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
Solam le lhumlam gamkaija um Canaan lengho, Amor mite lengho, Hit mite, Perizz mite, thinglhang gamma um Jabus mite, Mizpah gamsunga um Hermon molken suhlanga khopihoa um Hivi miteho jouse chu akouvin ahi.
4 All their armies assembled together, a vast horde as numberless as the sand of the seashore, together with many, many horses and chariots.
Hiche lengho jouse hi galsat dingin ahungkon tauve. Amahohi ahung kiloikhommun asepai houhi ahintit khommun ahileh alet-lha jengin ahi. Asakol houleh akangtalai hou twikhanglen panga neldiho bangin gamkom alosoh jengun ahi.
5 All these kings joined forces and set up camp beside the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
Hiche lengho hin athau ajekhommun Israelte satdingin Merom komma tuipang vellah ngahmun asemmun ahi.
6 The Lord said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid because of them, for by this time tomorrow I myself will hand them all over to Israel, dead. Cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”
Hichun Pakaiyin Joshua kommah hitin ahinseijin, “Amaho khu kichahih’in, jing nikho tuphat tahle hin, amahohi athisa banga Israelte kahinpehdoh ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh asakolte akeng nasuhbeijuva akangtalai hou nahallhah diu ahi,” ati.
7 Joshua and the Israelite army went and attacked them without warning at the waters of Merom.
Hitichun Joshua leh asepaite jousen Merom komma tuipanga chun alhailutnun gangtah’in adelkhum tauvin ahi.
8 The Lord handed them over to the Israelites who cut them down and chased them as far as Greater Sidon and Misrephoth Maim, and east to the valley of Mizpah, killing them until none were left.
Pakaiyin amaho chu Israelte khutnah ahinpedoh tan, hitichun amahon Sidon gamlenlang geileh Misrephath-maim changgei chuleh Mizpah solam phaicham geipeh’in ahindellutnun amaho chu khatcha hinghoi louvin ahin thatsoh keijun ahi.
9 Afterwards Joshua did what the Lord had ordered: he crippled the horses and burned the chariots.
Pakaiyin aseipeh bang bangin Joshua’n asakolteu keng asatbai peh’in chuleh akangtalai jouseu ahallhah peh’in ahi.
10 Then Joshua turned on Hazor. He captured it and killed its king, for Hazor was at that time the chief of all these kingdoms.
Hiche jouchun Joshua ahung kinunglen Hazor chu alan chuleh alengpau chu athatnin ahi. Phatchomkhat achu Hazor hi hiche lenggam ho jouse bulpi anahin ahi.
11 Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. He set it apart and completely destroyed it—no one was left alive. Then he burned down Hazor.
Israelten hiche khopi sunga mihing ching jouse abonchan asumang sohkeijin mi khatcha jong ahing hoipon ahi. Hitichun Joshua’n khopi chu ahallhatan ahi.
12 Joshua captured all these towns and killed their kings. He set them apart and completely destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had ordered.
Pakai lhacha Mose’n athupeh bang bangin Joshua’n lengdangho jouse leh amipiteu abonchan asumang sohkeijin ahi.
13 However, Israel did not burn any of the towns built on mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua did burn.
Joshua’n anahallhah Hazor tailou Israelten lhangchunga kitungdoh khopiho chu anahallha pouvin ahi.
14 The Israelites did take for themselves all the plunder and livestock from these towns. But they killed all the inhabitants, destroying them all so none were left alive.
Israelten khopi asuhmang houva achomdoh’u neile gou holeh ganchaho chu akilah’un ahi. Ahinla koimacha hinghoi louvin mihing jouse chu athatgam sohkeijin ahi.
15 As the Lord had instructed Moses, so Moses had instructed Joshua. Joshua did what he had been told—he did everything that the Lord had instructed Moses.
Pathen thupeh dungjuija Mose’n Joshua chu thu anapeh ahi. Hitichun Joshua’n Pathen thupeh dungjuija Mose’n anathupeh ho jouse chu atongdoh sohkeijin ahi.
16 So Joshua conquered the whole land—the hill country, the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Jordan Valley, the mountains of Israel, and the eastern foothills.
Hitihin Joshua’n gamsung pumpi hi anajouvin, thinglhang gam Negiv gampumpi, Goshen khopile vella gampumpi, Kolbul solam gamho, Jordan phaicham gamho, Israel molsangho leh Galilee molbul gamho jouse analasoh keijin ahi.
17 This covered land from Mount Halak leading to Seir in the south, right up to Baal Gad in the north, below Mount Hermon in the valley of Lebanon. Joshua captured and killed all their kings.
Tun Israel gamchu Halak mol’apatnin ahung kijedoh’in lhanglanga Seir changgei aphan, chuleh sahlang gam Lebanon phaicham Hermon molbulla Baal-gad changgei ahopmin ahi. Joshua in hiche gam lengho jouse anathatgam sohkeijin ahi.
18 Joshua fought a long war with all these kings.
Hiche tohmolsona dingahin phat sottah gal anadouvun ahi.
19 Not a single town made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the rest were conquered in battle.
Hiche gamhoa hin Gibeon a Hivi mite tailou khatchan Israelte hi ana kichampi pon ahi. Hiche Gibeon miho tailou gamdang miho jouse vangchu anathatgam sohhellun ahi.
20 For the Lord made them stubborn, wanting to fight the Israelites so that they might be set apart and completely destroyed, wiped out without mercy, as the Lord had instructed Moses.
Ajeh chu Pakaiyin alungu asuhtah peh’a Israelte chu anakisatpiu ahi. Hijeh achu amaho chu Pakaiyin Mose anathupeh bangin khotona beihellin anasumang’un ahi.
21 During this time Joshua also annihilated the descendants of Anak living in the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and all the hill country of Judah and Israel. Joshua set apart and completely destroyed their towns,
Hichephat sungah hin Joshua’n Hebron thinglhanggam pumpi le Dibar, Anab, Israelte le Judah gamsung pumpia cheng Anak chilhah hojouse ana sumang sohkeijun ahi. Aman amahohi achennao khopiho jouse pummin anathatgam sohkeijin ahi.
22 and there were no descendants of Anak left in the land of Israel, only some in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.
Israel gamsung pumpia Anak chilhahho hi khatcha akihinghoi anaumpouvin ahi. Ahinlah Gaza, Gath gamma vang amoh themkhat aumnalaijin ahi.
23 So Joshua took the entire land in accordance with what the Lord had instructed Moses, giving it to Israel to own as it was divided up among the tribes. Then the land was at peace.
Hichun Pakaiyin Mose anaseipeh bang bangin Joshua’n gamsung pumpi chu analatan ahi. Aman Israelte chu agouchan diuvin aphung aphung dungjuijin anahoppeh’in ahi. Hitichun galsatna a kon in gamsung chu ana kicholdo tan ahi.
