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,
Quæ cum audisset Iabin rex Asor, misit ad Iobab regem Madon, et ad regem Semeron, atque ad regem Achsaph:
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,
ad reges quoque Aquilonis, qui habitabant in montanis et in planitie contra meridiem Ceneroth, in campestribus quoque et in regionibus Dor iuxta mare:
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.
Chananæum quoque ab Oriente et Occidente, et Amorrhæum atque Hethæum ac Pherezæum et Iebusæum in montanis: Hevæum quoque qui habitabat ad radices Hermon in Terra Maspha.
4 All their armies assembled together, a vast horde as numberless as the sand of the seashore, together with many, many horses and chariots.
Egressique sunt omnes cum turmis suis, populus multus nimis sicut arena, quæ est in littore maris, equi quoque et currus immensæ multitudinis.
5 All these kings joined forces and set up camp beside the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
Conveneruntque omnes reges isti in unum ad Aquas Merom, ut pugnarent contra Israel.
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.”
Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Ne timeas eos: cras enim hac eadem hora ego tradam omnes istos vulnerandos in conspectu Israel: equos eorum subnervabis, et currus igne combures.
7 Joshua and the Israelite army went and attacked them without warning at the waters of Merom.
Venitque Iosue, et omnis exercitus cum eo adversus illos ad Aquas Merom subito, et irruerunt super eos,
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.
tradiditque illos Dominus in manus Israel. Qui percusserunt eos, et persecuti sunt usque ad Sidonem magnam, et Aquas Maserephoth, campumque Masphe, qui est ad Orientalem illius partem. Ita percussit omnes, ut nullas dimitteret ex eis reliquias:
9 Afterwards Joshua did what the Lord had ordered: he crippled the horses and burned the chariots.
fecitque sicut præceperat ei Dominus, equos eorum subnervavit, currusque combussit igni.
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.
Reversusque statim cepit Asor: et regem eius percussit gladio. Asor enim antiquitus inter omnia regna hæc principatum tenebat.
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.
Percussitque omnes animas, quæ ibidem morabantur: non dimisit in ea ullas reliquias, sed usque ad internecionem universa vastavit, ipsamque urbem peremit incendio.
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.
Et omnes per circuitum civitates, regesque earum cepit, percussit atque delevit, sicut præceperat ei Moyses famulus Domini.
13 However, Israel did not burn any of the towns built on mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua did burn.
Absque urbibus, quæ erant in collibus, et in tumulis sitæ, ceteras succendit Israel: unam tantum Asor munitissimam flamma consumpsit.
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.
Omnemque prædam istarum urbium ac iumenta diviserunt sibi filii Israel, cunctis hominibus interfectis.
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.
Sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi servo suo, ita præcepit Moyses Iosue, et ille universa complevit: non præteriit de universis mandatis, nec unum quidem verbum quod iusserat Dominus Moysi.
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.
Cepit itaque Iosue omnem Terram montanam, et meridianam, terramque Gosen, et planitiem, et Occidentalem plagam, montemque Israel, et campestria eius:
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.
et partem montis, quæ ascendit Seir usque Baalgad per planitiem Libani subter montem Hermon: omnes reges eorum cepit, percussit, et occidit.
18 Joshua fought a long war with all these kings.
Multo tempore pugnavit Iosue contra reges istos.
19 Not a single town made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the rest were conquered in battle.
Non fuit civitas quæ se traderet filiis Israel, præter Hevæum, qui habitabat in Gabaon: omnes enim bellando cepit.
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.
Domini enim sententia fuerat, ut indurarentur corda eorum, et pugnarent contra Israel, et caderent, et non mererentur ullam clementiam, ac perirent, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.
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,
In illo tempore venit Iosue, et interfecit Enacim de montanis, Hebron, et Dabir, et Anab, et de omni monte Iuda et Israel, urbesque eorum delevit.
22 and there were no descendants of Anak left in the land of Israel, only some in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.
Non reliquit ullum de stirpe Enacim, in Terra filiorum Israel: absque civitatibus Gaza, et Geth, et Azoto, in quibus solis relicti sunt.
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.
Cepit ergo Iosue omnem Terram, sicut locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, et tradidit eam in possessionem filiis Israel secundum partes et tribus suas. Quievitque Terra a præliis.
