< 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,
ハゾルの王ヤビン之を聞およびマドンの王ヨバブ、シムロンの王アクサフの王
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,
および北の地山地キンネロテの南のアラバ平地西の方なるドルの高處などに居る王等
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.
すなはち東西のカナン人アモリ人ヘテ人ペリジ人山地のエブス人ミヅバの地なるヘルモンの麓のヒビ人などに人を遣はせり
4 All their armies assembled together, a vast horde as numberless as the sand of the seashore, together with many, many horses and chariots.
爰に彼らその諸軍勢を率ゐて出きたれり其民の衆多ことは濱の砂の多きがごとくにして馬と車もまた甚だ多かりき
5 All these kings joined forces and set up camp beside the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
これらの王たち皆あひ會して進みきたり共にメロムの水の邊に陣をとりてイスラエルと戰はんとす
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.”
時にヱホバ、ヨシユアに言たまひけるは彼らの故によりて懼るる勿れ明日の今頃われ彼らをイスラエルの前に付して盡く殺さしめん汝かれらの馬の足の筋を截り火をもて彼らの車を焚べしと
7 Joshua and the Israelite army went and attacked them without warning at the waters of Merom.
ヨシユアすなはち一切の軍人を率ゐて俄然にメロムの水の邊に押寄て之を襲ひけるに
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.
ヱホバこれをイスラエルの手に付したまひしかば則ち之を撃やぶりて大シドンおよびミスレポテマイムまで之を追ゆき東の方にては又ミヅバの谷までこれを追ゆき遂に一人をも遺さず撃とれり
9 Afterwards Joshua did what the Lord had ordered: he crippled the horses and burned the chariots.
ヨシユアすなはちヱホバの己に命じたまひしことにしたがひて彼らに馬の足の筋を截り火をもてその車を焚り
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.
その時ヨシユア歸りきたりてハゾルを取り刃をもてその王を撃り在昔ハゾルは是らの諸國の盟主たりき
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.
即ち刃をもてその中なる一切の人を撃てことごとく之を滅ぼし氣息する者は一人だに遺さざりき又火をもてハゾルを焚り
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.
ヨシユアこれらの王の一切の邑々およびその諸王を取り刃をもてこれを撃て盡く滅ぼせり、ヱホバの僕モーセの命じたるがごとし
13 However, Israel did not burn any of the towns built on mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua did burn.
但しその岡の上にたちたる邑々はイスラエルこれを焚ず唯ハゾルのみをヨシユア焚り
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.
是らの邑の諸の貨財及び家畜はイスラエルの人々奪ひて自ら之を取り人はみな刃をもて撃て滅ぼし盡し氣息する者は一人だに遺さざりき
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.
ヱホバその僕モーセに命じたまひし所をモーセまたヨシユアに命じ置たりしがヨシユアその如くに行へり凡てヱホバのモーセに命じたまひし所はヨシユア一だに爲で置し事なし
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.
ヨシユア斯その全地すなはち山地南の全地ゴセンの全地平地アラバ、イスラエルの山地およびその平地を取り
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.
セイルに上りゆくでハラク山よりヘルモン山の麓なるレバノン谷のバアルガデまでを獲その王等をことごとく執へて之を撃て死しめたり
18 Joshua fought a long war with all these kings.
ヨシユア此すべての王等と戰爭をなすこと日ひさし
19 Not a single town made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the rest were conquered in battle.
ギベオンの民ヒビ人を除くの外はイスラエルの子孫と好をなしし邑なかりき皆戰爭をなしてこれを攻とりしなり
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.
そもそも彼らが心を剛愎にしてイスラエルに攻よせしはヱホバの然らしめたまひし者なり彼らは詛はれし者となり憐憫を乞ふこととせず滅ぼされんがためなりき是全くヱホバのモーセに命じたまひしが如し
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,
その時ヨシユアまた往て山地ヘブロン、デビル、アナブ、ユダの一切の山地イスラエルの一切の山地などよりしてアナク人を絶ち而してヨシユア彼らの邑々をも與に滅ぼせり
22 and there were no descendants of Anak left in the land of Israel, only some in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.
然からにイスラエルの子孫の地の内にはアナク人一人も遺りをらず只ガザ、ガテ、アシドドに少く遺りをる而已
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.
ヨシユアかく此地を盡く取り全くヱホバのモーセに告たまひし如し而してヨシユア、イスラエルの支派の區別にしたがひ之を與へて產業となさしめたり遂に此地に戰爭やみぬ
