< Joshua 11 >
1 And it comes to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor hears, that he sends to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
夏琐王耶宾听见这事,就打发人去见玛顿王约巴、伸 王、押煞王,
2 and to the kings who [are] on the north in the hill-country, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the low country, and in the elevations of Dor, on the west,
与北方山地、基尼烈南边的亚拉巴高原,并西边多珥山冈的诸王;
3 [to] the Canaanite on the east, and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh—
又去见东方和西方的迦南人,与山地的亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、耶布斯人,并黑门山根米斯巴地的希未人。
4 and they go out, they and all their camps with them, a people numerous, as the sand which [is] on the seashore for multitude, and [with] very many horse and charioteer;
这些王和他们的众军都出来,人数多如海边的沙,并有许多马匹车辆。
5 and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
这诸王会合,来到米伦水边,一同安营,要与以色列人争战。
6 And YHWH says to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of their presence, for about this time tomorrow I am giving all of them slain before Israel; hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.”
耶和华对约书亚说:“你不要因他们惧怕。明日这时,我必将他们交付以色列人全然杀了。你要砍断他们马的蹄筋,用火焚烧他们的车辆。”
7 And Joshua comes, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom, and they suddenly fall on them;
于是约书亚率领一切兵丁,在米伦水边突然向前攻打他们。
8 and YHWH gives them into the hand of Israel, and they strike them and pursue them to the great Sidon, and to Misrephoth-Maim, and to the Valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they strike them, until he has not left a remnant to them;
耶和华将他们交在以色列人手里,以色列人就击杀他们,追赶他们到西顿大城,到米斯利弗·玛音,直到东边米斯巴的平原,将他们击杀,没有留下一个。
9 and Joshua does to them as YHWH commanded to him; he has hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
约书亚就照耶和华所吩咐他的去行,砍断他们马的蹄筋,用火焚烧他们的车辆。
10 And Joshua turns back at that time, and captures Hazor, and he has struck its king by the sword; for Hazor [was] formerly head of all these kingdoms;
当时,约书亚转回夺了夏琐,用刀击杀夏琐王。(素来夏琐在这诸国中是为首的。)
11 and they strike every person who [is] in it by the mouth of the sword; he has devoted—he has not left anyone breathing, and he has burned Hazor with fire;
以色列人用刀击杀城中的人口,将他们尽行杀灭;凡有气息的没有留下一个。约书亚又用火焚烧夏琐。
12 and all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, Joshua has captured, and he strikes them by the mouth of the sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded.
约书亚夺了这些王的一切城邑,擒获其中的诸王,用刀击杀他们,将他们尽行杀灭,正如耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐的。
13 Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel has not burned them—except Joshua has burned Hazor, only;
至于造在山冈上的城,除了夏琐以外,以色列人都没有焚烧。约书亚只将夏琐焚烧了。
14 and all the spoil of these cities, and the livestock, the sons of Israel have spoiled for themselves; only, they have struck every man by the mouth of the sword, until their destroying them; they have not left anyone breathing.
那些城邑所有的财物和牲畜,以色列人都取为自己的掠物;惟有一切人口都用刀击杀,直到杀尽;凡有气息的没有留下一个。
15 As YHWH commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua has done; he has not turned aside a thing of all that YHWH commanded Moses.
耶和华怎样吩咐他仆人摩西,摩西就照样吩咐约书亚,约书亚也照样行。凡耶和华所吩咐摩西的,约书亚没有一件懈怠不行的。
16 And Joshua takes all this land: the hill-country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, even the hill-country of Israel and its low lands,
约书亚夺了那全地,就是山地、一带南地、歌珊全地、高原、亚拉巴、以色列的山地,和山下的高原。
17 from the Mount of Halak, which is going up [to] Seir, and to Ba‘al-Gad, in the Valley of Lebanon, under Mount Hermon; and he has captured all their kings, and he strikes them, and puts them to death.
从上西珥的哈拉山,直到黑门山下黎巴嫩平原的巴力·迦得,并且擒获那些地的诸王,将他们杀死。
18 Joshua has made war with all these kings [for] many days;
约书亚和这诸王争战了许多年日。
19 there has not been a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivite, inhabitants of Gibeon; they have taken the whole in battle;
除了基遍的希未人之外,没有一城与以色列人讲和的,都是以色列人争战夺来的。
20 for it has been from YHWH to strengthen their heart, to meet in battle with Israel, in order to devote them, so that they have no grace, but in order to destroy them, as YHWH commanded Moses.
因为耶和华的意思是要使他们心里刚硬,来与以色列人争战,好叫他们尽被杀灭,不蒙怜悯,正如耶和华所吩咐摩西的。
21 And Joshua comes at that time, and cuts off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; Joshua has devoted them with their cities.
当时约书亚来到,将住山地、希伯 、底璧、亚拿伯、犹大山地、以色列山地所有的亚衲族人剪除了。约书亚将他们和他们的城邑尽都毁灭。
22 There has not been Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, were they left.
在以色列人的地没有留下一个亚衲族人,只在迦萨、迦特,和亚实突有留下的。
23 And Joshua takes the whole of the land, according to all that YHWH has spoken to Moses, and Joshua gives it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes; and the land has rest from war.
这样,约书亚照着耶和华所吩咐摩西的一切话夺了那全地,就按着以色列支派的宗族将地分给他们为业。于是国中太平,没有争战了。
