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,
Esi Yabin, Hazor fia se ale si Israelviwo nɔ dukɔwo dzi ɖum la, eɖo du ɖe Yobab, Madɔn fia kple Simron fia kple Aksaf fia,
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,

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.
Eɖo du ɖe Kanaan fia siwo nɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa eveawo dzi, Amoritɔwo, Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo le tonyigba la dzi kple Hivitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Hermon to la dzi le Mizpanyigba dzi.
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.
Dukɔ siawo katã kplɔ woƒe aʋakɔwo vɛ, eye woƒo ƒu zu aʋakɔ gã ɖeka ɖe Israel ŋu. Aʋakɔ gã sia kple woƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo sɔ gbɔ abe ƒutake ene.
5 So all these Kings met together, and came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, for to fight against Israel.
Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Merɔn tsi dzidzi la gbɔ.
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.
Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Mègavɔ̃ aʋakɔ gã sia o, elabena etsɔ hafi ɣelawoɣi naɖo la, wo katã woazu nu kukuwo le Israel ŋgɔ! Gbã la, tu woƒe sɔwo ƒe atawo, eye nàtɔ dzo woƒe tasiaɖamwo!”
7 Then came Ioshua and al the men of warre with him against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell vpon them.
Yosua kple eƒe amewo va dze futɔwo dzi le vo me le Merɔn tsi dzidzi la gbɔ.
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.
Yehowa tsɔ aʋakɔ gã ma de asi na Israelviwo, eye wonya wo va se ɖe keke Sidon du gã la me kple Misrefat Maim heyi Mizpa balime le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo. Futɔwo dometɔ aɖeke metsi agbe o.
9 And Ioshua did vnto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their charets with fire.
Yosua kple eƒe amewo tu ata na futɔwo ƒe sɔwo, eye wotɔ dzo woƒe tasiaɖamwo abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na wo ene.
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.
Esi wotrɔ gbɔna la, Yosua xɔ Hazor du, si nye fiadu na dukɔ ƒoƒu mawo katã, eye wòwu eƒe fia.
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.
Wowu ame sia ame le Hazor du la me, eye wotɔ dzo du la.
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.
Yosua dze fia mamlɛawo ƒe du bubuawo dzi. Wowu ameawo katã abe ale si Mose gblɔe da ɖi xoxo la ene.
13 But Israel burnt none of the cities that stoode still in their strength, saue Hazor onely, that Ioshua burnt.
Ke Yosua metɔ dzo du siwo nɔ togbɛwo dzi la ya o, negbe Hazor ko.
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.
Israelviwo ha du siwo wotsrɔ̃ la ƒe nuwo kple lãwo na wo ɖokuiwo, ke wowu amegbetɔwo katã,
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.
elabena nenemae Yehowa ɖo na eƒe dɔla, Mose, eya hã gblɔ ɖoɖo ma na Yosua, eye eya hã wɔ nu si wogblɔ nɛ. Yosua wɔ se siwo katã Yehowa de na Mose la dzi.
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,
Ale Yosua ɖu anyigba blibo la dzi. Exɔ Negeb kple Gosenyigba kple Araba kple Israel ƒe tonyigbawo kple sɔsɔeƒewo.
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.
Ale Israelviwo ƒe anyigba keke azɔ tso keke Halak to la gbɔ te ɖe Seir ŋu yi Baal Gad le Lebanon ƒe balime le Hermon to la te. Yosua wu teƒe mawo ƒe fiawo katã.
18 Ioshua made warre long time with all those Kings,
Yosua tsɔ ƒe adre wɔ nu siawo katã.
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.
Israelviwo mewɔ ŋutifafa kple du aɖeke me tɔwo o, negbe Hivitɔ siwo nɔ Gibeon ko. Wowu ame bubuawo katã,
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.
elabena Yehowa ɖo be dukɔ mawo nadi be yewoawɔ aʋa boŋ kple Israelviwo ɖe ŋutifafawɔwɔ teƒe. Eya ta wotsrɔ̃ wo nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.
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.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yosua tsrɔ̃ ame dzɔatsu siwo nye Anak ƒe dzidzimeviwo, ame siwo nɔ tonyigbawo dzi le Hebron, Debir, Anab, Yuda kple Israel. Ewu wo katã keŋkeŋ, eye wòtsrɔ̃ woƒe duwo gbidigbidi.
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.
Wo dometɔ aɖeke megasusɔ ɖe Israelnyigba dzi o, ke ɖewo ganɔ Gaza, Gat kple Asdod.
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.
Ale Yosua xɔ anyigba blibo la abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene. Etsɔe na Israelviwo abe woƒe domenyinu ene, eye wòmae ɖe toawo dome. Ale aʋawɔwɔ nu tso le anyigba la dzi.
