Joshua 11
1 When King Jabin of Hazor [city] heard [about all those things that had happened], he sent messages to Jobab, the king of Madon [city], to the king of Shimron [city], and to the king of Acshaph [city], [requesting them to send their armies to come and help him fight against the Israelis].
Kane Jabin ruodh Hazor owinjo ma, nooro wach ne Jobab ma ruodh Madon, kod ruodhi mag Shimron gi Akshaf,
2 He also sent messages to the kings in the northern hilly area and to the kings in the Jordan [River] Valley, south of Galilee [Lake] and in the western hills. He sent a message to the king of Naphoth-Dor [in the west]
kod ruodhi mae piny gode ma yo nyandwat e Araba ma milambo mar Kinereth, e tiend gode ma yo podho chiengʼ kod e Nafoth Dor mantiere yo podho chiengʼ.
3 and to the kings of the Canaan people-group in the eastern and western parts of the land. He sent messages to the Amor people-group and the Heth people-group and the Periz people-group and the Jebus people-group who lived in the hilly area. He also sent a message to the Hiv people-group who lived below Hermon [Mountain] in the Mizpah area.
Nooro wach bende ni jo-Kanaan man yo wuok chiengʼ kod podho chiengʼ, kaachiel gi jo-Amor, jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, kod jo-Jebus mantiere e piny gode; kendo ni jo-Hivi modak e tiend got Hermon e gwenge mag Mizpa.
4 So the armies of all those kings gathered together, bringing their horses and chariots. [There seemed to be] [HYP] as many soldiers as grains of sand on the seashore.
Ne giwuok gi jolweny mangʼeny ka kuoyo manie dho nam ka gin-gi farese kod geche lweny mangʼeny.
5 All of those kings [and their armies] gathered together at Merom Pond, [and they set up their tents there]. Then they made plans to fight against the Israelis.
Ruodhigi duto noriwo tekogi mi gichokore kanyakla e Sokni mag Merom, mondo giked gi jo-Israel.
6 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, because at this time tomorrow I will enable your men to defeat them. Your men must also cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Joshua niya, “Kik uluorgi, nikech kiny sa machalo kama abiro chiwogi duto ne jo-Israel mi gineg-gi. Nyaka ungʼad odond tiend faresegi kendo uwangʼ gechegi.”
7 So Joshua and his army traveled to Merom Pond and attacked their enemies (by surprise/before they were ready to fight).
Omiyo Joshua gi jolwenje duto nobiro momonjogi apoya e Sokni mag Merom mi gikedo kodgi,
8 Yahweh enabled the Israelis to defeat them. They pursued them to Sidon [city in the far north], and to Misrephoth-Maim [in the northwest], and to Mizpah Valley in the northeast. The Israelis fought them until (they were all dead/there were no survivors).
kendo Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwet jo-Israel. Negiloyogi mi gilawogi nyaka dala maduongʼ mar Sidon, nyaka Misrefoth Maim kendo nyaka Holo mar Mizpa ma yo wuok chiengʼ, maonge joma notony.
9 Then Joshua and his men did what Yahweh told them to do: They crippled their enemies’ horses and burned their chariots.
Joshua notimonigi kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko. Nongʼado odond tiend farese kendo nowangʼo gechegi.
10 The king of Hazor had ruled the people of all the kingdoms whose armies had fought against the Israelis. So Joshua’s army went back to Hazor and captured that city and killed their king.
E sechego Joshua noduogo mi okawo Hazor kendo onego ruodhe kod ligangla. Hazor ema ne jatend pinjegi duto.
11 They killed everyone in Hazor; (they did not spare anyone/no one was left alive) [DOU]. Then they burned the city.
Ji duto mane ni e dala maduongʼno noneg gi ligangla. Negitiekogi pep maonge gima yweyo mane odongʼ, Hazor bende ne giwangʼo.
12 Joshua’s army captured all of those cities and killed all of their kings. They did that like Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had commanded them to do.
Joshua nokawo mier madongo gi ruodhigi mi ginegogi gi ligangla. Notiekogi pep, mana kaka Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko.
13 Joshua’s men burned Hazor [city], but they did not burn any of the other cities that were built on small hills.
Kata kamano, jo-Israel ne ok owangʼo dala maduongʼ moro amora moger e gode mag-gi matindo makmana Hazor ma Joshua nowangʼo.
14 The Israelis took for themselves the animals that they found in those cities and everything else [that was valuable] [DOU]. But they killed all the people.
Jo-Israel noyako gik moko duto kod kweth jamni mag mier madongogi, kendo neginego ji duto maonge ngʼama notony kata achiel.
15 [Many years before], Yahweh had told Moses to do that, and then Moses told Joshua to do it. So Joshua did everything that Yahweh had commanded Moses to do.
Kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiwo chik ni jatichne Musa, omiyo Musa bende nochiwo chik ne Joshua, mi Joshua notimo mano. Onge gima noweyo ma ok otimo kuom gigo duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochiko Musa.
16 Joshua’s [army] defeated all the people who were living in that land. They took control over the hilly area and the area in the southern part of Canaan, all the area of Goshen, the western foothills, and the Jordan [River] Valley. They took control over all the mountains in Israel and all the hills near the mountains.
Omiyo Joshua nokawo pinyni duto; kaka, piny manie got, piny Negev duto, gwenge duto mag Goshen, tiend gode ma yo podho chiengʼ, Araba kod gode duto mag Israel kaachiel gi pewe mag
17 They took control of all the land from Halak Mountain [in the south] up to the Seir [hilly area] as far as Baal-Gaal in Lebanon Valley [in the north], at the bottom of Hermon Mountain. They captured all the kings of those areas and killed them.
Got Halak, machakore yo Seir, nyaka Baal Gad manie Holo mar Lebanon manie Got Hermon. Nomako ruodhigi duto mi onegogi.
18 Joshua’s men fought against those groups for many years.
Joshua nokedo gi ruodhigi duto kuom ndalo mangʼeny.
19 There was only one group that made a peace agreement with the Israelis; they were the people of the Hiv people-group who lived in Gibeon. The Israelis captured all the other towns in battles.
Onge dala maduongʼ moro amora mane otimo winjruok gi jo-Israel makmana jo-Hivi modak Gibeon. Joma odongʼ duto negikedogo.
20 Yahweh caused the people in all those other groups to be stubborn [IDM], with the result that they fought against the Israeli army, and the Israelis killed them all. They were not merciful to any of them. That is what Yahweh had commanded Moses to do.
Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema ne omiyo chunygi obedo matek mondo gitug lweny gi jo-Israel kendo mondo jo-Israel otiekgi chuth maonge ngʼwono mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa.
21 Joshua’s army also fought the Anak people-group who lived in the hills near Hebron, Debir, and Anah [cities]. They also fought against the people who lived in the hilly area of Judah and Israel, and they killed all of those people and destroyed their cities.
E ndalono mane Joshua odhi kendo otieko jo-Anak moa e piny gode, ema bende notieke joma odak, Hebron, Debir kod Anab, mago moa e pinje gode mag Juda, to gi moa e pinje gode mag Israel. Joshua notiekogi duto kod miechgi.
22 As a result, there were no descendants of Anak who remained alive in Israel. Only a few remained alive in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod [cities].
Onge jo-Anak mane odongʼ e piny jo-Israel; makmana joma nodongʼ Gaza, Gath kod Ashdod.
23 Joshua’s army took control of all the land, just as Yahweh [long ago] had told Moses to do. Yahweh gave the land to the Israelis, because he had promised to give it to them. Then Joshua divided the land among the Israeli tribes. After that, there was (peace/no more battles) in the land.
Omiyo Joshua nokawo pinyno duto mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechiko Musa, mi nochiwe kaka girkeni ni jo-Israel kaluwore gi migepe mag dhoutegi. Bangʼe pinyni nobedo gi kwe.
