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,
Ketika Yabin, raja kota Hazor, mendengar tentang semua kemenangan bangsa Israel, dia memanggil raja-raja lain yaitu Raja Yobab dari kota Madon, raja kota Simron, raja kota Aksaf,
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,
juga raja-raja di pegunungan sebelah utara, di lembah Yordan sebelah selatan danau Galilea, di daerah kaki pegunungan, dan di pesisir dekat kota Dor.
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.
Yabin juga memanggil orang Kanaan di sebelah timur dan sebelah barat sungai Yordan, orang Amori, orang Het, orang Feris, orang Yebus di daerah pegunungan, dan orang Hewi di kaki gunung Hermon di daerah Mispa.
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.
Raja-raja itu maju membawa pasukan mereka. Jumlah mereka sangat banyak, seperti pasir di tepi pantai. Kuda dan kereta perang mereka juga sangat banyak.
5 All these kings met together; and they came and camped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
Semua raja itu menggabungkan pasukan. Mereka berkemah di sungai Merom untuk menyerang Israel.
6 Jehovah 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."
Berkatalah TUHAN kepada Yosua, “Jangan takut terhadap mereka. Karena besok, pada waktu yang sama seperti sekarang, Aku akan menyerahkan mereka semua mati terbunuh di tangan kalian. Lumpuhkan kuda-kuda mereka dan bakarlah kereta-kereta perang mereka.”
7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell on them.
Maka Yosua dan seluruh pasukannya menyerang pasukan musuh itu dengan tiba-tiba di dekat sungai Merom.
8 Jehovah 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.
TUHAN menyerahkan mereka semua kepada orang Israel. Pasukan Israel mengalahkan musuh dan memburu mereka sampai ke kota besar Sidon, kota Misrefot Maim di sebelah barat laut, dan sampai ke lembah Mispa di sebelah timur laut. Tidak ada seorang pun yang selamat.
9 Joshua did to them as Jehovah told him. He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
Yosua dan pasukan Israel melumpuhkan semua kuda musuh dan membakar semua kereta perang mereka, sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN kepadanya.
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.
Kemudian Yosua dan pasukannya berbalik lalu pergi merebut kota Hazor dan membunuh rajanya. Dahulu, kota Hazor adalah pusat kerajaan-kerajaan yang melawan Israel itu.
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.
Pasukan Yosua membunuh semua orang di kota Hazor, lalu membakar kota itu. Tidak ada satu pun yang selamat.
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 Jehovah commanded.
Yosua merebut semua kota lainnya dan membunuh raja-raja mereka, seperti yang diperintahkan Musa, hamba TUHAN itu.
13 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burned that.
Akan tetapi, orang Israel tidak membakar kota-kota yang di atas bukit, kecuali Hazor yang dibakar oleh Yosua dan pasukannya.
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.
Orang Israel mengambil semua barang berharga dan ternak-ternak dari kota-kota itu. Tetapi seluruh penduduknya mereka habisi. Tidak ada seorang pun yang dibiarkan hidup.
15 As Jehovah commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that Jehovah commanded Moses.
Demikianlah Yosua menjalankan segala perintah TUHAN yang disampaikan-Nya melalui Musa. Tak ada satu pun yang tidak terlaksana.
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;
Jadi, Yosua berhasil merebut seluruh negeri itu bagi Israel, mulai dari daerah pegunungan, seluruh padang belantara Negeb, seluruh daerah di sekitar kota Gosyen, dan lembah Yordan. Yosua sudah menguasai seluruh daerah pegunungan Israel dan dataran rendahnya,
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.
dari gunung Halak di selatan, naik sampai ke gunung Seir, sampai kota Baal Gad di Lembah Libanon di utara, di bawah gunung Hermon. Yosua berperang melawan raja-raja itu selama bertahun-tahun sampai dia berhasil menangkap dan membunuh mereka semua.
18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
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.
Tidak ada kota yang membuat perjanjian damai dengan Israel kecuali orang Hewi di kota Gibeon. Semua kota lainnya sudah dikalahkan,
20 For it was of Jehovah 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 Jehovah commanded Moses.
karena TUHAN sengaja membuat musuh-musuh Israel keras kepala dan berani melawan Israel. Tujuannya supaya mereka dimusnahkan tanpa belas kasihan, seperti yang sudah diperintahkan-Nya kepada Musa.
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.
Pada waktu itu, Yosua juga menyerang dan menghabisi orang raksasa Anakim dari Hebron, Debir, Anab, dan seluruh daerah pegunungan Yehuda dan Israel. Yosua memusnahkan mereka seluruhnya dan menghancurkan kota-kota mereka.
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.
Karena itu, tidak ada lagi keturunan raksasa Anakim di wilayah Israel. Mereka hanya tersisa di kota Gaza, Gat, dan Asdod.
23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah 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.
Demikianlah Yosua menguasai seluruh negeri itu, seperti yang TUHAN sudah janjikan kepada Musa. Yosua membagikan negeri itu kepada suku-suku Israel sebagai tanah warisan mereka, dan sesudah itu perang pun berhenti.
