< 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,
哈祚爾王雅一聽見這事,便派人去見瑪冬王,史默龍王,阿革沙夫王,
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,
和住在北方山區,基乃勒特南方平原低地,和西方的多爾高原諸王;
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.
又去見東西各地的客納罕人、阿摩黎人、希威人、培黎齊人,以及住在山區的耶步斯人,和赫爾孟山麓米茲帕地方的赫特人。
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.
他們都帶領自己所有的軍隊和車輛。
5 So all these Kings met together, and came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, for to fight against Israel.
這些王子都合一起來,來到默龍水邊紮營,要同以色列人交戰。
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.
上主對若蘇厄說:「在這些人面前,你不要害怕,因為明天這時,我必要使他們全在以色列人面前被殺;你要砍斷他們的馬蹄筋,火燒他們的車輛。」
7 Then came Ioshua and al the men of warre with him against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell vpon them.
若蘇厄遂率領自己的軍民突至默龍水旁,向他們進攻。
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.
上主將他們交在以色列人手中,以色列人擊殺他們,往西直追到大漆冬和米斯勒佛特瑪殷,往東直追到米茲帕山谷,將他們殺得沒有剩下一個。
9 And Ioshua did vnto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their charets with fire.
若蘇厄便照上主指示他的,對待了他們,砍斷了他們的馬碲筋,火燒了他們的車輛。
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.
若蘇厄班師回來時,奪取了哈祚爾,用刀斬了哈祚爾王。──原來哈祚爾以前是這些王國的都城。
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.
又將城內的一切生靈,用刀殺死,完全予以毀滅,沒有留下一個生靈,以後放火燒了哈祚爾城。
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.
若蘇厄奪取了那些王子的一切城邑,生摛那些王子,用刀將他們殺死,將城池完全予以毀滅,全照上主的僕人梅瑟所吩咐的。
13 But Israel burnt none of the cities that stoode still in their strength, saue Hazor onely, that Ioshua burnt.
至於那些處於土丘上的城市,除哈祚爾外,以色列人都沒有焚毀:若蘇厄只燒了哈祚爾。
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.
那些城中所有的財物和牲畜,以色列人都搶了來,歸為己有:所有的人都用刀殺死,完全予以毀滅,沒有留下一個生靈。
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.
上主怎樣吩咐衪的僕人梅瑟,梅瑟也怎樣吩咐了若蘇厄,若蘇厄也就怎樣辦了。凡上主吩咐梅瑟的事,若蘇厄沒有不照辦的。
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,
這樣,若蘇厄佔領了那整個地區:包括山地,整個南方,哥笙全境,平原,阿辣巴原野,以色列山地和附近平原,
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.
由上色依爾去的哈拉克山起,一直到赫爾孟山麓,黎巴嫩山谷間的巴爾加得:各城的王子都被生摛,都被殺死。
18 Ioshua made warre long time with all those Kings,
若蘇厄同這些王子交戰,時日頗為長久,
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.
因為除住在基貝紅的希威人外,沒有一座城願與以色列子民媾和,都是以色列人用武力攻取的。
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.
原來這是上主的意思,叫他們心硬,來與以色列人交戰,好使他們遭受無情的毀滅,澈底的破壞,正如上主對梅瑟所吩咐的
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.
以後若蘇厄出兵,消滅了赫貝龍、德彼爾、阿納布山地、猶大山地和以色列山地所有的阿納克人,毀滅了他們和他們所有的城市。
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.
這樣以色列子民境內,沒有剩下一個阿納克人,只在迦薩、加特和阿布多得還有。
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.
若蘇厄佔領了那整個地區,全如上主對梅瑟所說的;若蘇厄遂將這地區按照以色列支派分給他們作產業。以後國內昇平,再無戰事。
