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].
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Jabini mũthamaki wa Hazoru aiguire ũhoro wa maũndũ macio, agĩtũma ũhoro kũrĩ Jobabu mũthamaki wa Madoni, kũrĩ athamaki a Shimuroni na Akishafu,
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]
o na kũrĩ athamaki a mwena wa gathigathini arĩa maarĩ irĩma-inĩ, o kũu Araba mwena wa gũthini wa Kinerethu, o na ituamba cia mwena wa ithũĩro, o na kũu Nafothu-Dori mwena wa ithũĩro;
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.
na kũrĩ Akaanani arĩa matũire mwena wa irathĩro na wa ithũĩro; na kũrĩ Aamori, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ajebusi o kũu bũrũri ũcio wa irĩma; o na kũrĩ Ahivi kũu mũhuro wa Herimoni rũgongo rwa Mizipa.
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.
Nao magĩũka na mbũtũ ciao ciothe cia ita, na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa mbarathi na ngaari cia ita, maarĩ mbũtũ nene mũno, makaingĩha o ta mũthanga ũrĩa ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
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.
Athamaki acio othe magĩturanĩra mbũtũ ciao, na makĩamba kambĩ hamwe gũkuhĩ na maaĩ ma Meromu, nĩgeetha mahũũrane na Isiraeli.
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.”
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ndũkametigĩre, tondũ rũciũ ihinda ta rĩĩrĩ nĩngamaneana othe kũrĩ Isiraeli, moragĩtwo. Mũgaatinia mbarathi ciao mĩtari ithue, na mũcine ngaari ciao cia ita na mwaki.”
7 So Joshua and his army traveled to Merom Pond and attacked their enemies (by surprise/before they were ready to fight).
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua na mbũtũ yake yothe ya ita, makĩmakorerera o rĩmwe kũu maaĩ ma Meromu, makĩmatharĩkĩra,
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).
nake Jehova akĩmaneana moko-inĩ ma Isiraeli. Nao makĩmahoota makĩmaingatithia o nginya Sidoni ĩrĩa Nene, makĩmakinyia Misirefothu-Aimu, o na makĩmakinyia Gĩtuamba kĩa Mizipa kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mwena wa irathĩro, o nginya hakĩaga mũndũ watigirwo arĩ muoyo.
9 Then Joshua and his men did what Yahweh told them to do: They crippled their enemies’ horses and burned their chariots.
Joshua akĩmeeka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte: Agĩtinia mbarathi ciao mĩtari, na agĩcina ngaari ciao cia ita na mwaki.
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.
Ningĩ Joshua akĩhũndũka na agĩtunyana itũũra rĩa Hazoru na akĩũraga mũthamaki warĩo na rũhiũ rwa njora. (Hazoru nĩrĩo rĩarĩ itũũra inene mothamaki-inĩ macio).
11 They killed everyone in Hazor; (they did not spare anyone/no one was left alive) [DOU]. Then they burned the city.
Nao makĩũraga andũ arĩa othe maarĩ kuo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Makĩmaniina biũ na matiigana gũtigia kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩarĩ na mĩhũmũ, nake agĩcina Hazoru na mwaki.
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.
Nake Joshua agĩtunyana matũũra macio mothe ma ũthamaki na athamaki a mo, na akĩmooraga na rũhiũ rwa njora. Akĩmaniina biũ, o ta ũrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aathanĩte.
13 Joshua’s men burned Hazor [city], but they did not burn any of the other cities that were built on small hills.
No rĩrĩ, Isiraeli matiigana gũcina itũũra o na rĩmwe rĩa marĩa maakĩtwo ihumbu-inĩ, o tiga itũũra rĩa Hazoru, rĩrĩa Joshua aacinire.
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.
Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmekuuĩire indo ciothe iria maatahire, na mahiũ ma matũũra macio, no makĩũraga andũ othe na rũhiũ rwa njora o nginya makĩmaniina biũ, na matiigana gũtiga mũndũ o na ũmwe warĩ na mĩhũmũ.
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.
O ta ũrĩa Jehova aathire ndungata yake Musa-rĩ, ũguo noguo nake Musa aathire Joshua; nake Joshua agĩĩka o ta ũguo; gũtirĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe ateekire wa maũndũ marĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa mekwo.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩtunyana bũrũri ũcio wothe: nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma, na bũrũri wothe wa Negevu, na mwena wa Gosheni wothe, na ituamba cia irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, na bũrũri wa Araba, na irĩma cia kũu Isiraeli o na ituamba ciacio,
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.
na kuuma kĩrĩma kĩa Halaku, kĩrĩa kĩrorete mwena wa Seiru, nginya Baali-Gadi kũu Gĩtuamba kĩa Lebanoni mũhuro wa kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni. Akĩnyiita athamaki ao othe, na akĩmahũũra, akĩmooraga.
18 Joshua’s men fought against those groups for many years.
Joshua nĩarũire mbaara na athamaki acio othe ihinda iraaya.
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.
Na tiga o Ahivi arĩa maatũũraga Gibeoni, gũtirĩ itũũra inene o na rĩmwe rĩagĩire kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa thayũ na andũ a Isiraeli, nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtunyana matũũra macio mothe na ũndũ wa kũrũa mbaara nao.
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.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩ Jehova we mwene watũmire, momie ngoro ciao nĩguo makarũe mbaara na andũ a Isiraeli, nĩgeetha amaniine biũ, amaniine o kũmaniina atekũmaiguĩra tha, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte 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.
O hĩndĩ ĩyo Joshua agĩthiĩ akĩniina andũ a Anaki kuuma bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma: kuuma Hebironi, na Debiri na Anabu, na kuuma bũrũri wothe ũrĩa wa irĩma wa Juda, na kuuma bũrũri wothe ũrĩa wa irĩma wa Isiraeli. Joshua akĩmaniina biũ hamwe na matũũra mao.
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].
Na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa Anaki bũrũri ũcio wa Isiraeli; no itũũra rĩa Gaza, na rĩa Gathu, na rĩa Ashidodi nĩ gwatigarire andũ amwe ao.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩtunyana bũrũri ũcio wothe, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa, nake akĩũhe andũ a Isiraeli ũtuĩke igai rĩao na ũgaywo kũringana na ũrĩa mĩhĩrĩga yagayanĩtio. Naguo bũrũri ũkĩhoorera, gũkĩaga mbaara.
