< 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,
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Jabini mũthamaki wa Hazoru aiguire ũhoro wa maũndũ macio, agĩtũma ũhoro kũrĩ Jobabu mũthamaki wa Madoni, kũrĩ athamaki a Shimuroni na Akishafu,
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,
o na kũrĩ athamaki a mwena wa gathigathini arĩa maarĩ irĩma-inĩ, o kũu Araba mwena wa gũthini wa Kinerethu, o na ituamba cia mwena wa ithũĩro, o na kũu Nafothu-Dori mwena wa ithũĩro;
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—
na kũrĩ Akaanani arĩa matũire mwena wa irathĩro na wa ithũĩro; na kũrĩ Aamori, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ajebusi o kũu bũrũri ũcio wa irĩma; o na kũrĩ Ahivi kũu mũhuro wa Herimoni rũgongo rwa Mizipa.
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;
Nao magĩũka na mbũtũ ciao ciothe cia ita, na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa mbarathi na ngaari cia ita, maarĩ mbũtũ nene mũno, makaingĩha o ta mũthanga ũrĩa ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
5 and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
Athamaki acio othe magĩturanĩra mbũtũ ciao, na makĩamba kambĩ hamwe gũkuhĩ na maaĩ ma Meromu, nĩgeetha mahũũrane na Isiraeli.
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.”
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ndũkametigĩre, tondũ rũciũ ihinda ta rĩĩrĩ nĩngamaneana othe kũrĩ Isiraeli, moragĩtwo. Mũgaatinia mbarathi ciao mĩtari ithue, na mũcine ngaari ciao cia ita na mwaki.”
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;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua na mbũtũ yake yothe ya ita, makĩmakorerera o rĩmwe kũu maaĩ ma Meromu, makĩmatharĩkĩra,
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;
nake Jehova akĩmaneana moko-inĩ ma Isiraeli. Nao makĩmahoota makĩmaingatithia o nginya Sidoni ĩrĩa Nene, makĩmakinyia Misirefothu-Aimu, o na makĩmakinyia Gĩtuamba kĩa Mizipa kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mwena wa irathĩro, o nginya hakĩaga mũndũ watigirwo arĩ muoyo.
9 and Joshua does to them as YHWH commanded to him; he has hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
Joshua akĩmeeka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte: Agĩtinia mbarathi ciao mĩtari, na agĩcina ngaari ciao cia ita na mwaki.
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;
Ningĩ Joshua akĩhũndũka na agĩtunyana itũũra rĩa Hazoru na akĩũraga mũthamaki warĩo na rũhiũ rwa njora. (Hazoru nĩrĩo rĩarĩ itũũra inene mothamaki-inĩ macio).
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;
Nao makĩũraga andũ arĩa othe maarĩ kuo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Makĩmaniina biũ na matiigana gũtigia kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩarĩ na mĩhũmũ, nake agĩcina Hazoru na mwaki.
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.
Nake Joshua agĩtunyana matũũra macio mothe ma ũthamaki na athamaki a mo, na akĩmooraga na rũhiũ rwa njora. Akĩmaniina biũ, o ta ũrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aathanĩte.
13 Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel has not burned them—except Joshua has burned Hazor, only;
No rĩrĩ, Isiraeli matiigana gũcina itũũra o na rĩmwe rĩa marĩa maakĩtwo ihumbu-inĩ, o tiga itũũra rĩa Hazoru, rĩrĩa Joshua aacinire.
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.
Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmekuuĩire indo ciothe iria maatahire, na mahiũ ma matũũra macio, no makĩũraga andũ othe na rũhiũ rwa njora o nginya makĩmaniina biũ, na matiigana gũtiga mũndũ o na ũmwe warĩ na mĩhũmũ.
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.
O ta ũrĩa Jehova aathire ndungata yake Musa-rĩ, ũguo noguo nake Musa aathire Joshua; nake Joshua agĩĩka o ta ũguo; gũtirĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe ateekire wa maũndũ marĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa mekwo.
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,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩtunyana bũrũri ũcio wothe: nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma, na bũrũri wothe wa Negevu, na mwena wa Gosheni wothe, na ituamba cia irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, na bũrũri wa Araba, na irĩma cia kũu Isiraeli o na ituamba ciacio,
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.
na kuuma kĩrĩma kĩa Halaku, kĩrĩa kĩrorete mwena wa Seiru, nginya Baali-Gadi kũu Gĩtuamba kĩa Lebanoni mũhuro wa kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni. Akĩnyiita athamaki ao othe, na akĩmahũũra, akĩmooraga.
18 Joshua has made war with all these kings [for] many days;
Joshua nĩarũire mbaara na athamaki acio othe ihinda iraaya.
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;
Na tiga o Ahivi arĩa maatũũraga Gibeoni, gũtirĩ itũũra inene o na rĩmwe rĩagĩire kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa thayũ na andũ a Isiraeli, nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtunyana matũũra macio mothe na ũndũ wa kũrũa mbaara nao.
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.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩ Jehova we mwene watũmire, momie ngoro ciao nĩguo makarũe mbaara na andũ a Isiraeli, nĩgeetha amaniine biũ, amaniine o kũmaniina atekũmaiguĩra tha, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
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.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo Joshua agĩthiĩ akĩniina andũ a Anaki kuuma bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma: kuuma Hebironi, na Debiri na Anabu, na kuuma bũrũri wothe ũrĩa wa irĩma wa Juda, na kuuma bũrũri wothe ũrĩa wa irĩma wa Isiraeli. Joshua akĩmaniina biũ hamwe na matũũra mao.
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.
Na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa Anaki bũrũri ũcio wa Isiraeli; no itũũra rĩa Gaza, na rĩa Gathu, na rĩa Ashidodi nĩ gwatigarire andũ amwe ao.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩtunyana bũrũri ũcio wothe, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa, nake akĩũhe andũ a Isiraeli ũtuĩke igai rĩao na ũgaywo kũringana na ũrĩa mĩhĩrĩga yagayanĩtio. Naguo bũrũri ũkĩhoorera, gũkĩaga mbaara.
