Joshua 11

1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard thereof, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and 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 that were on the north, in the hill country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and 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 Hittite, 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 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

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

5 And all these kings met together; and they came and pitched 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 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for tomorrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough 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 upon them.

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

8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote 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 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

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

10 And Jeshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was 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 And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was none left that breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

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

12 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote 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, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

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

14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any that 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 did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; 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 took all that land, the hill country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and 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 goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote 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, save 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 favour, 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 And 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 was 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 spake unto Moses: and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And 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.
