Joshua 11
1 And whe Iabin King of Hazor had heard this, then he sent to Iobab King of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Yabini, mfumu ya Hazori, inamva zimene zinachitikazi. Tsono inatumiza uthenga kwa Yobabu mfumu ya Madoni, ndiponso kwa mafumu a ku Simironi ndi Akisafu.
2 And vnto the Kings that were by ye North in the mountaines and plaines toward the Southside of Cinneroth, and in the valleys, and in the borders of Dor Westward,
Inatumizanso uthenga kwa mafumu a kumpoto, kumapiri, ndi mʼchigwa cha Yorodani kummwera kwa nyanja ya Kinereti, ndiponso kumadzulo mʼmbali mwa nyanja pafupi ndi Dori.
3 And vnto the Canaanites, both by East, and by West, and vnto the Amorites, and Hittites, and Perizzites, and Iebusites in the mountaines, and vnto the Hiuites vnder Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
Inatumizanso uthenga kwa Akanaani amene ankakhala kummawa ndi kumadzulo kwa Yorodani. Uthenga unapitanso kwa Aamori, Ahiti, Aperezi ndi Ayebusi amene amakhala mʼdziko la ku mapiri ndiponso kwa Ahivi amene ankakhala mʼmunsi mwa phiri la Herimoni ku chigwa cha Mizipa.
4 And they came out and all their hostes with them, many people as the sande that is on the sea shore for multitude, with horses and charets exceeding many.
Mafumuwo anabwera pamodzi ndi ankhondo awo onse. Gulu la ankhondo linali lalikulu ngati mchenga wa mʼmbali mwa nyanja. Analinso ndi akavalo ndi magaleta ambiri.
5 So all these Kings met together, and came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, for to fight against Israel.
Mafumu onsewa anasonkhana pamodzi ndipo anamanga misasa yawo ku mtsinje wa Meromu, kuti amenyane ndi Israeli.
6 Then the Lord sayd vnto Ioshua, Be not afrayd for them: for to morowe about this time will I deliuer them all slaine before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burne their charets with fire.
Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Usawaope chifukwa mawa nthawi ngati yomwe ino ndidzawapereka kuti muwaphe. Akavalo awo muwadule matsinde ndipo magaleta awo muwatenthe ndi moto.”
7 Then came Ioshua and al the men of warre with him against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell vpon them.
Kotero Yoswa pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo anafika kwa adani awo aja ku mtsinje wa Meromu modzidzimutsa ndi kuwathira nkhondo.
8 And the Lord gaue them into the hand of Israel: and they smote them, and chased them vnto great Zidon, and vnto Misrephothmaim, and vnto the valley of Mizpeh Eastward, and smote them vntill they had none remaining of them.
Yehova anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Israeli mwakuti anawagonjetseratu ndi kuwapirikitsa njira yonse mpaka ku Sidoni Wamkulu ndi ku Misirefoti Maimu, ndiponso kummawa ku chigwa cha Mizipa. Onse anaphedwa popanda wopulumuka.
9 And Ioshua did vnto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their charets with fire.
Yoswa anawachita zimene Yehova analamula. Iye anadula matsinde a akavalo awo ndi kutentha magaleta awo.
10 At that time also Ioshua turned backe, and tooke Hazor, and smote the King thereof with the sword: for Hazor before time was the head of all those kingdomes.
Pambuyo pake Yoswa anabwera nalanda mzinda wa Hazori ndi kupha mfumu yake. (Nthawi imeneyo mzinda wa Hazori unali wopambana mizinda ina yonse).
11 Moreouer, they smote all the persons that were therein with the edge of the sworde, vtterly destroying all, leauing none aliue, and hee burnt Hazor with fire.
Anapha aliyense wa mu mzindamo popanda wotsala wamoyo, ndipo mzinda wa Hazori anawutentha ndi moto.
12 So all ye cities of those Kings, and all the kings of them did Ioshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and vtterly destroyed them, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded.
Yoswa analanda mizinda yonse ndi mafumu ake. Anthu onse anaphedwa ndi lupanga monga momwe analamulira Mose, mtumiki wa Yehova.
13 But Israel burnt none of the cities that stoode still in their strength, saue Hazor onely, that Ioshua burnt.
Israeli sanatenthe mizinda yomangidwa pa zitunda, kupatula mzinda wa Hazori, umene Yoswa anawutentha.
14 And all the spoyle of these cities and the cattel the children of Israel tooke for their praye, but they smote euery man with the edge of the sword vntill they had destroyed them, not leauing one aliue.
Aisraeli anatenga zinthu zonse za mʼmizindayi pamodzi ndi ziweto kuti zikhale zawo, koma anapha anthu onse ndi lupanga osasiyako ndi mmodzi yemwe wamoyo.
15 As the Lord had commanded Moses his seruant, so did Moses commande Ioshua, and so did Ioshua: he left nothing vndone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
Monga momwe Yehova analamulira mtumiki wake Mose, nayenso Mose analamulira Yoswa ndipo Yoswa anachita chilichonse chimene Yehova analamulira Mose.
16 So Ioshua tooke all this land of the mountaines, and all the South, and all the lande of Goshen, and the lowe countrey, and the plaine, and the mountaine of Israel, and the lowe countrey of the same,
Kotero Yoswa analanda dziko lonse: dziko la ku mapiri, dera lonse la Negevi, chigawo chonse cha Goseni, ndi chigwa chake chonse, chigwa cha Yorodani, dziko lonse la lamapiri la Israeli pamodzi ndi chigwa chake chomwe.
17 From the mount Halak, that goeth vp to Seir, euen vnto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon, vnder mount Hermon: and all their Kings he tooke, and smote them, and slewe them.
Dziko lolandidwalo linayambira ku phiri la Halaki limene linali ku Seiri mpaka ku Baala-Gadi mʼchigwa cha Lebanoni, kumunsi kwa phiri la Herimoni. Yoswa anagwira ndi kupha mafumu a dziko lonselo
18 Ioshua made warre long time with all those Kings,
atachita nawo nkhondo kwa nthawi yayitali.
19 Neither was there any citie that made peace with the children of Israel, saue those Hiuites that inhabited Gibeon: all other they tooke by battell.
Palibe ngakhale ndi mfumu imodzi yomwe imene inachita mgwirizano wa mtendere ndi Aisraeli kupatula Ahivi okhala ku Gibiyoni. Koma mizinda ina yonse anachita kuyigonjetsa pa nkhondo.
20 For it came of the Lord, to harden their heartes that they shoulde come against Israel in battell to the intent that they shoulde destroye them vtterly, and shewe them no mercie, but that they shoulde bring them to nought: as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Yehova anali atawumitsa mitima yawo kuti alimbane ndi Aisraeli kuti aphedwe popanda kuchitiridwa chifundo. Izi ndi zimene Yehova analamula Mose kuti zichitidwe.
21 And that same season came Ioshua, and destroyed the Anakims out of the mountaines: as out of Hebron, out of Debir, out of Anab, and out of all the mountaines of Iudah, and out of all the mountaines of Israel: Ioshua destroyed them vtterly with their cities.
Pa nthawi imeneyi Yoswa anapita kukawononga Aanaki okhala mʼdziko lija la ku mapiri ku Hebroni, Debri, Anabu komanso madera onse a ku mapiri a Yuda ndi Israeli. Yoswa anawawononga onse pamodzi ndi mizinda yawo.
22 There was no Anakim left in the lande of the children of Israel: onely in Azzah, in Gath, and in Ashdod were they left.
Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anatsalako mʼdziko lonse la Israeli; komabe ku Gaza, ku Gati ndi Asidodi kokha ndi kumene anatsalako pangʼono.
23 So Ioshua tooke the whole land, according to all that the Lord had saide vnto Moses: and Ioshua gaue it for an inheritance vnto Israel according to their portion through their tribes: then the land was at rest without warre.
Choncho Yoswa anagonjetsa dziko lonse monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose. Tsono Yoswa analipereka kwa Aisraeli kuti likhale lawo, fuko lililonse gawo lake. Anthu onse anapumula, osamenyanso nkhondo.
