< 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,
夏瑣王耶賓聽見這事,就打發人去見瑪頓王約巴、伸崙王、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,
與北方山地、基尼烈南邊的亞拉巴高原,並西邊多珥山岡的諸王;
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—
又去見東方和西方的迦南人,與山地的亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、耶布斯人,並黑門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;
這些王和他們的眾軍都出來,人數多如海邊的沙,並有許多馬匹車輛。
5 and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
這諸王會合,來到米倫水邊,一同安營,要與以色列人爭戰。
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.”
耶和華對約書亞說:「你不要因他們懼怕。明日這時,我必將他們交付以色列人全然殺了。你要砍斷他們馬的蹄筋,用火焚燒他們的車輛。」
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;
於是約書亞率領一切兵丁,在米倫水邊突然向前攻打他們。
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;
耶和華將他們交在以色列人手裏,以色列人就擊殺他們,追趕他們到西頓大城,到米斯利弗‧瑪音,直到東邊米斯巴的平原,將他們擊殺,沒有留下一個。
9 and Joshua does to them as YHWH commanded to him; he has hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
約書亞就照耶和華所吩咐他的去行,砍斷他們馬的蹄筋,用火焚燒他們的車輛。
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;
當時,約書亞轉回奪了夏瑣,用刀擊殺夏瑣王。(素來夏瑣在這諸國中是為首的。)
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;
以色列人用刀擊殺城中的人口,將他們盡行殺滅;凡有氣息的沒有留下一個。約書亞又用火焚燒夏瑣。
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.
約書亞奪了這些王的一切城邑,擒獲其中的諸王,用刀擊殺他們,將他們盡行殺滅,正如耶和華僕人摩西所吩咐的。
13 Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel has not burned them—except Joshua has burned Hazor, only;
至於造在山岡上的城,除了夏瑣以外,以色列人都沒有焚燒。約書亞只將夏瑣焚燒了。
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.
那些城邑所有的財物和牲畜,以色列人都取為自己的掠物;惟有一切人口都用刀擊殺,直到殺盡;凡有氣息的沒有留下一個。
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.
耶和華怎樣吩咐他僕人摩西,摩西就照樣吩咐約書亞,約書亞也照樣行。凡耶和華所吩咐摩西的,約書亞沒有一件懈怠不行的。
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,
約書亞奪了那全地,就是山地、一帶南地、歌珊全地、高原、亞拉巴、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.
從上西珥的哈拉山,直到黑門山下黎巴嫩平原的巴力‧迦得,並且擒獲那些地的諸王,將他們殺死。
18 Joshua has made war with all these kings [for] many days;
約書亞和這諸王爭戰了許多年日。
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,沒有一城與以色列人講和的,都是以色列人爭戰奪來的。
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.
因為耶和華的意思是要使他們心裏剛硬,來與以色列人爭戰,好叫他們盡被殺滅,不蒙憐憫,正如耶和華所吩咐摩西的。
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.
當時約書亞來到,將住山地、希伯崙、底璧、亞拿伯、猶大山地、以色列山地所有的亞衲族人剪除了。約書亞將他們和他們的城邑盡都毀滅。
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.
在以色列人的地沒有留下一個亞衲族人,只在迦薩、迦特,和亞實突有留下的。
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.
這樣,約書亞照着耶和華所吩咐摩西的一切話奪了那全地,就按着以色列支派的宗族將地分給他們為業。於是國中太平,沒有爭戰了。
