Joshua 11
1 And when Jabis the king of Asor heard, he sent to Jobab king of Maron, and to the king of Symoon, and to the king of Aziph,
Kwasekusithi lapho uJabini inkosi yeHazori ekuzwa, wathumela kuJobabi inkosi yeMadoni, lenkosini yeShimironi, lenkosini yeAkishafi,
2 and to the kings who were by the great Sidon, to the hill country and to Araba opposite Keneroth, and to the plain, and to Phenaeddor,
lemakhosini ayengenyakatho ezintabeni, lemagcekeni, eningizimu kweKinerothi, lesihotsheni, lemaqaqeni eDori entshonalanga,
3 and to the Chananites on the coast eastward, and to the Amorites on the coast, and the Chettites, and the Pherezites, and the Jebusites in the mountain, and the Evites, and those dwelling under [mount] Aermon in the land Massyma.
amaKhanani empumalanga lentshonalanga, lamaAmori lamaHethi lamaPerizi lamaJebusi entabeni, lamaHivi ngaphansi kweHermoni elizweni leMizipa.
4 And they and their kings with them went forth, as the sand of the sea in multitude, and horses, and very many chariots.
Asephuma, wona lawo wonke amabutho awo kanye lawo, abantu abanengi, njengetshebetshebe elisekhunjini lolwandle ngobunengi, lamabhiza lenqola okunengi kakhulu.
5 And all the kings assembled in person, and came to the same place, and encamped at the waters of Maron to war with Israel.
Wonke lamakhosi asehlangana, eza amisa inkamba ndawonye emanzini eMeroma, ukulwa emelene loIsrayeli.
6 And the Lord said to Joshua, Be not afraid of them, for to-morrow [at] this time I will put them to flight before Israel: you shall hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire
INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Ungesabi ngenxa yabo, ngoba kusasa phose ngalesisikhathi ngizawanikela wonke esebulewe phambi kukaIsrayeli; uzaquma imisipha yamabhiza awo, utshise inqola zawo ngomlilo.
7 And Joshua and all the men of war came upon them at the water of Maron suddenly; and they attacked them in the hill country.
UJoshuwa wasesiza, labo bonke abantu bempi kanye laye, bemelene lawo emanzini eMeroma bawajuma, bawadumela.
8 And the Lord delivered them into the power of Israel; and they struck them and pursued them to great Sidon, and to Maseron, and to the plains of Massoch eastward; and they destroyed them till there was not one of them left that survived.
INkosi yasiwanikela esandleni sikaIsrayeli, owawatshaya waxotshana lawo kwaze kwaba seSidoni enkulu, kwaze kwaba seMisirefothi-Mayimi, kwaze kwaba sesihotsheni seMizipa empumalanga. Bawatshaya, kabaze batshiya insali kubo.
9 And Joshua did to them, as the Lord commanded him: he houghed their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
UJoshuwa wasesenza kiwo njengokutsho kweNkosi kuye; waquma imisipha yamabhiza awo, watshisa inqola zawo ngomlilo.
10 And Joshua returned at that time, and took Asor and her king; now Asor in former time was the chief of these kingdoms.
UJoshuwa wasebuya ngalesosikhathi, wathumba iHazori, watshaya inkosi yayo ngenkemba. Ngoba kuqala iHazori yayiyinhloko yayo yonke leyomibuso.
11 And they killed with the sword all that breathed in it, and utterly destroyed them all, and there was no living thing left in it; and they burnt Asor with fire.
Batshaya yonke imiphefumulo eyayikiyo ngobukhali benkemba, bayitshabalalisa; kakusalanga lokukodwa okuphefumulayo; wasetshisa iHazori ngomlilo.
12 And Joshua took all the cities of the kingdoms, and their kings, and killed them with the edge of the sword; and utterly killed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.
Yonke-ke imizi yalawomakhosi lamakhosi ayo wonke uJoshuwa wakuthumba, wakutshaya ngobukhali benkemba, wakutshabalalisa, njengokulaya kukaMozisi inceku yeNkosi.
13 But all the walled cities Israel burnt not; but Israel burnt Asor only.
Kuphela imizi yonke eyayimi emadundulwini ayo uIsrayeli kayitshisanga, ngaphandle kweHazori kuphela uJoshuwa ayitshisayo.
14 And the children of Israel took all its spoils to themselves; and they killed all the men with the edge of the sword, until he destroyed them; they left not one of them breathing.
Layo yonke impango yalimizi lezifuyo abantwana bakoIsrayeli baziphangela. Kuphela bonke abantu babatshaya ngobukhali benkemba baze babachitha; kabatshiyanga loyedwa ophefumulayo.
15 As the Lord commanded his servant Moses, even so Moses commanded Joshua; and so Joshua did, he transgressed no precept of all that Moses commanded him.
Njengalokhu iNkosi yayimlayile uMozisi inceku yayo, ngokunjalo uMozisi wamlaya uJoshuwa, langokunjalo uJoshuwa wakwenza; kasusanga lutho kukho konke iNkosi eyakulaya uMozisi.
16 And Joshua took all the hill country, and all the land of Nageb, and all the land of Gosom, and the plain country, and that toward the west, and the mountain of Israel and the low country by the mountain;
Ngakho uJoshuwa walithatha lelolizwe lonke, izintaba, leningizimu yonke, lelizwe lonke leGosheni, lesihotsha, lamagceke, lentaba zakoIsrayeli, lesigodi sakhe,
17 from the mountain of Chelcha, and that which goes up to Seir, and as far as Balagad, and the plains of Libanus, under mount Aermon; and he took all their kings, and destroyed, and killed them.
kusukela entabeni yeHalaki eyenyukela eSeyiri, kuze kube seBhali-Gadi esihotsheni seLebhanoni ngaphansi kwentaba yeHermoni. Wawathumba wonke amakhosi abo, wawatshaya wawabulala.
18 And for many days Joshua waged war with these kings.
UJoshuwa wayilwa-ke impi insuku ezinengi lawo wonke lawomakhosi.
19 And there was no city which Israel took not; they took all in war.
Kakubanga lamuzi owenza ukuthula labantwana bakoIsrayeli ngaphandle kwamaHivi abahlali beGibeyoni; bayithatha yonke ngempi.
20 For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts to go forth to war against Israel, that they might be utterly destroyed, that mercy should not be granted to them, but that they should be utterly destroyed, as the Lord said to Moses.
Ngoba kwakuvela eNkosini ukwenza lukhuni inhliziyo zabo ukuze bahlangabezane loIsrayeli empini, ukuze abatshabalalise, ukuze bangazuzi umusa, kodwa ukuze ababhubhise, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
21 And Joshua came at that time, and utterly destroyed the Enakim out of the hill country, from Chebron and from Dabir, and from Anaboth, and from all the race of Israel, and from all the mountain of Juda with their cities; and Joshua utterly destroyed them.
UJoshuwa wasesiza ngalesosikhathi, waquma amaAnaki asuke ezintabeni, eHebroni, eDebiri, eAnabi, lentabeni zonke zakoJuda, lakuzo zonke intaba zakoIsrayeli; uJoshuwa wawatshabalalisa lemizi yawo.
22 There was not [any one] left of the Enakim by the children of Israel, only there was left of them in Gaza, and in Gath, and in Aseldo.
Kakusalanga amaAnaki elizweni labantwana bakoIsrayeli; kuphela eGaza, eGathi, leAshidodi, asala.
23 And Joshua took all the land, as the Lord commanded Moses; and Joshua gave them for an inheritance to Israel by division according to their tribes; and the land ceased from war.
UJoshuwa wasethatha ilizwe lonke njengakho konke iNkosi eyakukhuluma kuMozisi. UJoshuwa waselinika laba yilifa kuIsrayeli, njengokwehlukaniswa kwabo ngezizwe zabo. Ilizwe laseliphumula empini.
