Joshua 11

1 It happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Maron, to the king of Shim'on, to the king of Achshaph,

١ وَمَا إِنْ سَمِعَ يَابِينُ مَلِكُ حَاصُورَ بِانْتِصَارَاتِ يَشُوعَ حَتَّى بَعَثَ بِدَعْوَاتٍ إِلَى يُوبَابَ مَلِكِ مَادُونَ وَإِلَى مَلِكِ شِمْرُونَ وَإِلَى مَلِكِ أَكْشَافَ،

2 and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Kinnereth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,

٢ وَإِلَى مُلُوكِ الْجَبَلِ شِمَالًا وَمُلُوكِ وَادِي الأُرْدُنِّ جَنُوبِيَّ بُحَيْرَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، وَمُلُوكِ السَّهْلِ وَمُلُوكِ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ دُورٍ غَرْباً،

3 to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hethite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

٣ وَإِلَى مُلُوكِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ فِي الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ فِي إِقْلِيمِ الْجَبَلِ، وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ عَلَى سَفْحِ جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ فِي أَرْضِ الْمِصْفَاةِ.

4 They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.

٤ فَاحْتَشَدُوا هُمْ وَجُيُوشُهُمُ الْغَفِيرَةُ وَخُيُولُهُمْ وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُمْ فَكَانُوا فِي كَثْرَتِهِمْ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ.

5 All these kings met together; and they came and camped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

٥ وَالْتَقَى جَمِيعُ هَؤُلاءِ الْمُلُوكِ فِي مَوْعِدٍ مُحَدَّدٍ حَيْثُ خَيَّمُوا مَعاً عِنْدَ مِيَاهِ مَيْرُومَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ.

6 The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."

٦ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «لا تَخْشَ مِنْهُمْ. غَداً فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ أُهْلِكُهُمْ أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعَرْقِبُ خُيُولَهُمْ وَتُحْرِقُ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ بِالنَّارِ».

7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell on them.

٧ فَجَاءَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ جُنُودِهِ وَبَاغَتُوهُمْ عِنْدَ مِيَاهِ مَيْرُومَ وَهَجَمُوا عَلَيْهِمْ،

8 The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to Greater Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the Valley of Mizpeh eastward. They struck them until they left them none remaining.

٨ فَأَسْلَمَهُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَى يَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَضَرَبُوهُمْ وَطَارَدُوهُمْ شِمَالاً حَتَّى صِيدُونَ الْعَظِيمَةِ وَإِلَى مِسْرَفُوتَ مَايِمَ وَإِلَى وَادِي مِصْفَاةَ شَرْقاً، وَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ بِحَيْثُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْ مِنْهُمْ نَاجٍ.

9 Joshua did to them as the LORD told him. He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.

٩ وَفَعَلَ بِهِمْ يَشُوعُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ، فَعَرْقَبَ خُيُولَهُمْ وَأَحْرَقَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ بِالنَّارِ.

10 Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword: for Hazor used to be the head of all those kingdoms.

١٠ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى حَاصُورَ وَقَتَلَ مَلِكَهَا بِالسَّيْفِ، لأَنَّ حَاصُورَ كَانَتْ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ زَعِيمَةَ جَمِيعِ تِلْكَ الْمَمَالِكِ.

11 They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burnt Hazor with fire.

١١ وَقَضَوْا فِيهَا عَلَى كُلِّ نَسَمَةٍ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ فِيهَا حَيٌّ، وَأَحْرَقُوهَا بِالنَّارِ.

12 Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.

١٢ وَاسْتَوْلَى يَشُوعُ عَلَى كُلِّ مُدُنِ أَعْدَائِهِ وَقَضَى عَلَى مُلُوكِهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ.

13 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burned that.

١٣ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُحْرِقِ الْمُدُنَ الْقَائِمَةَ عَلَى التِّلالِ، إِلّا حَاصُورَ وَحْدَهَا الَّتِي أَضْرَمَ فِيهَا النَّارَ

14 The children of Israel took all the spoil of these cities, with the livestock, as spoils for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They did not leave any who breathed.

١٤ وَنَهَبَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ كُلَّ غَنَائِمِ تِلْكَ الْمُدُنِ. أَمَّا الرِّجَالُ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ.

15 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.

١٥ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى عَبْدَهُ هَكَذَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى يَشُوعَ، فَنَفَّذَ يَشُوعُ مَا عُهِدَ إِلَيْهِ بِهِ فَلَمْ يُغْفِلْ شَيْئاً مِنْ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ مُوسَى.

16 So Joshua captured all that land, the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;

١٦ وَاسْتَوْلَى يَشُوعُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرَاضِي: إِقْلِيمِ الْجَبَلِ وَكُلِّ مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَنُوبِ وَسَائِرِ أَرْضِ جُوشِنَ وَالسَّهْلِ وَوَادِي الأُرْدُنِّ وَجَبَلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَهْلِهِ.

17 from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.

١٧ فَأَصْبَحَتْ أَرْضُ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَمْتَدُّ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ الأَقْرَعِ بِاتِّجَاهِ أَرْضِ أَدُومَ فِي الْجَنُوبِ، إِلَى بَعْلِ جَادٍ شِمَالاً فِي وَادِي لُبْنَانَ عِنْدَ سَفْحِ حَرْمُونَ، وَأَسَرَ جَمِيعَ مُلُوكِهَا وَقَتَلَهُمْ.

18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

١٨ فَخَاضَ يَشُوعُ حَرْباً مَعَ أُولَئِكَ الْمُلُوكِ أَيَّاماً كَثِيرَةً.

19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all in battle.

١٩ وَلَمْ تَعْقِدْ مَدِينَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ صُلْحاً مَعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ إِلّا الْحِوِّيِّينَ سُكَّانَ جِبْعُونَ، إِنَّمَا اسْتَوْلَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْمُدُنِ بِالْحَرْبِ.

20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

٢٠ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ نَفْسَهُ هُوَ الَّذِي قَسَّى قُلُوبَهُمْ لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ ضِدَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيُدَمِّرَهُمُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ وَيُفْنُوهُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ رَأْفَةٍ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

21 Joshua came at that time, and cut 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 utterly destroyed them with their cities.

٢١ وَهَاجَمَ يَشُوعُ الْعَنَاقِيِّينَ أَيْضاً وَأَبَادَهُمْ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ فِي حَبْرُونَ وَمِنْ دَبِيرَ وَمِنْ عَنَابَ وَمِنْ سَائِرِ جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا وَمِنْ جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَقَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ وَدَمَّرَ مُدُنَهُمْ.

22 There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.

٢٢ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فِي أَرْضِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سِوَى قِلَّةٍ لَجَأَتْ إِلَى غَزَّةَ وَجَتَّ وَأَشْدُودَ،

23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. The land had rest from war.

٢٣ فَاسْتَوْلَى يَشُوعُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ كَمَا وَعَدَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى، وَوَهَبَهَا يَشُوعُ مِيرَاثاً لإِسْرَائِيلَ وَفْقاً لِطَوَائِفِهِمْ وَأَسْبَاطِهِمْ. وَأَخِيراً اسْتَرَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنَ الْحَرْبِ.
