Joshua 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard, that he sent unto Jobab king of Madon, and unto the king of Shimron, and unto the king of Achshaph;
Esi Yabin, Hazor fia se ale si Israelviwo nɔ dukɔwo dzi ɖum la, eɖo du ɖe Yobab, Madɔn fia kple Simron fia kple Aksaf fia,
2 and unto the kings who were on the north in the hill country and in the waste plain south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, —and in the heights of Dor, on the west:
kple fia siwo nɔ tonyigba la dzi le dziehe le Araba, le Kineret kple esiwo nɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe balime le Galilea ƒu la ƒe dziehe kple fia siwo nɔ ɣetoɖoƒetogbɛwo dzi le ƒuta, te ɖe Nafɔt Dor ŋu.
3 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;
Eɖo du ɖe Kanaan fia siwo nɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa eveawo dzi, Amoritɔwo, Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo le tonyigba la dzi kple Hivitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Hermon to la dzi le Mizpanyigba dzi.
4 and they came out—they, and all their hosts with them, much people, like the sand that is upon the seashore for multitude, —with horses and chariots very many.
Dukɔ siawo katã kplɔ woƒe aʋakɔwo vɛ, eye woƒo ƒu zu aʋakɔ gã ɖeka ɖe Israel ŋu. Aʋakɔ gã sia kple woƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo sɔ gbɔ abe ƒutake ene.
5 And, when all these kings were gathered together, they came in, and encamped as one man, at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Merɔn tsi dzidzi la gbɔ.
6 Then said Yahweh unto Joshua—Do not fear because of them, for, to-morrow, about this time, am I going to deliver up all of them, slain, before Israel, —their horses, shalt thou ham-string, and, their chariots, shalt thou burn up with fire.
Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Mègavɔ̃ aʋakɔ gã sia o, elabena etsɔ hafi ɣelawoɣi naɖo la, wo katã woazu nu kukuwo le Israel ŋgɔ! Gbã la, tu woƒe sɔwo ƒe atawo, eye nàtɔ dzo woƒe tasiaɖamwo!”
7 So Joshua, and all the army with him, came in upon them, by the waters of Merom, suddenly, and fell upon them.
Yosua kple eƒe amewo va dze futɔwo dzi le vo me le Merɔn tsi dzidzi la gbɔ.
8 And Yahweh delivered them up into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them as far as great Zidon, and as far as Misrephoth-maim, and as far as the valley of Mizpeh, eastward, —yea they smote them until they left them not a survivor.
Yehowa tsɔ aʋakɔ gã ma de asi na Israelviwo, eye wonya wo va se ɖe keke Sidon du gã la me kple Misrefat Maim heyi Mizpa balime le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo. Futɔwo dometɔ aɖeke metsi agbe o.
9 And Joshua did unto them, as Yahweh had said unto him, —their horses, he ham-strung, and, their chariots, burned he up with fire.
Yosua kple eƒe amewo tu ata na futɔwo ƒe sɔwo, eye wotɔ dzo woƒe tasiaɖamwo abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na wo ene.
10 Then Joshua turned back, at that time, and captured Hazor, and, the king thereof, smote he with the sword, —for, Hazor, aforetime, was the head of all these kingdoms.
Esi wotrɔ gbɔna la, Yosua xɔ Hazor du, si nye fiadu na dukɔ ƒoƒu mawo katã, eye wòwu eƒe fia.
11 And they smote all the souls that were therein, with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, there was left no breathing thing, —and, Hazor, burned he up with fire.
Wowu ame sia ame le Hazor du la me, eye wotɔ dzo du la.
12 And, all the cities of these kings, and all the kings thereof, did Joshua capture, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, —as Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded.
Yosua dze fia mamlɛawo ƒe du bubuawo dzi. Wowu ameawo katã abe ale si Mose gblɔe da ɖi xoxo la ene.
13 Yet, none of the cities that were still standing upon their mound, did Israel burn, none but Hazor alone, did Joshua burn.
Ke Yosua metɔ dzo du siwo nɔ togbɛwo dzi la ya o, negbe Hazor ko.
14 But, all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, did the sons of Israel take as their prey, —nevertheless, all the human beings, smote they with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, they left remaining no breathing thing.
Israelviwo ha du siwo wotsrɔ̃ la ƒe nuwo kple lãwo na wo ɖokuiwo, ke wowu amegbetɔwo katã,
15 As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so, Moses commanded Joshua, and, so, Joshua, did, he set aside nothing of all that Yahweh commanded Moses.
elabena nenemae Yehowa ɖo na eƒe dɔla, Mose, eya hã gblɔ ɖoɖo ma na Yosua, eye eya hã wɔ nu si wogblɔ nɛ. Yosua wɔ se siwo katã Yehowa de na Mose la dzi.
16 So Joshua took all this land—the hill country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the waste plain, —and the hill country of Israel, and the lowland thereof:
Ale Yosua ɖu anyigba blibo la dzi. Exɔ Negeb kple Gosenyigba kple Araba kple Israel ƒe tonyigbawo kple sɔsɔeƒewo.
17 from Mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even as far as Baal-gad, in the valley of the Lebanon, under Mount Hermon, —and, all their kings, he captured, and smote them, and put them to death.
Ale Israelviwo ƒe anyigba keke azɔ tso keke Halak to la gbɔ te ɖe Seir ŋu yi Baal Gad le Lebanon ƒe balime le Hermon to la te. Yosua wu teƒe mawo ƒe fiawo katã.
18 Many days, did Joshua, with all these kings, make war.
Yosua tsɔ ƒe adre wɔ nu siawo katã.
19 There was not a city that made peace with the sons of Israel, save the Hivites dwelling in Gibeon, —the whole, took they in battle.
Israelviwo mewɔ ŋutifafa kple du aɖeke me tɔwo o, negbe Hivitɔ siwo nɔ Gibeon ko. Wowu ame bubuawo katã,
20 For, from Yahweh, came it to pass, that their heart was emboldened to come out to war with Israel, that he might devote them to destruction, that they might find no favour, —but that he might destroy them, —as Yahweh commanded Moses.
elabena Yehowa ɖo be dukɔ mawo nadi be yewoawɔ aʋa boŋ kple Israelviwo ɖe ŋutifafawɔwɔ teƒe. Eya ta wotsrɔ̃ wo nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.
21 And Joshua came in, 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, —with their cities, did Joshua devote them to destruction.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yosua tsrɔ̃ ame dzɔatsu siwo nye Anak ƒe dzidzimeviwo, ame siwo nɔ tonyigbawo dzi le Hebron, Debir, Anab, Yuda kple Israel. Ewu wo katã keŋkeŋ, eye wòtsrɔ̃ woƒe duwo gbidigbidi.
22 There was left remaining none of the Anakim, in the land of the sons of Israel, —save only, in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
Wo dometɔ aɖeke megasusɔ ɖe Israelnyigba dzi o, ke ɖewo ganɔ Gaza, Gat kple Asdod.
23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh had spoken unto Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their portions by their tribes, —and, the land, had rest from war.
Ale Yosua xɔ anyigba blibo la abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene. Etsɔe na Israelviwo abe woƒe domenyinu ene, eye wòmae ɖe toawo dome. Ale aʋawɔwɔ nu tso le anyigba la dzi.
