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].
Då Jabin, Konungen i Hazor, detta hörde, sände han till Jobab, Konungen i Madon, och till Konungen i Achsaph,
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]
Och till de Konungar, som bodde norrut uppå bergen, och uppå slättmarkene, söderut Cinneroth; och i dalarna, och i NaphotDor, utmed hafvet;
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.
Till de Cananeer österut och vesterut, till de Amoreer, Hetheer, Phereseer, och Jebuseer uppå bergen; så ock till de Heveer nedanför Hermons berg i Mizpa land.
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.
Desse drogo ut med alla deras härar, dråpeliga mycket folk, såsom sanden i hafsstrandene; och ganska många hästar och vagnar.
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.
Alle desse Konungar församlade sig, och kommo, och lägrade sig ihop vid det vattnet Merom, till att strida med 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.”
Och Herren sade till Josua: Frukta dig intet för dem; ty i morgon på denna tiden skall jag gifva dem alla slagna för Israels barn; deras hästar skall du hasa, och bränna deras vagnar i eld.
7 So Joshua and his army traveled to Merom Pond and attacked their enemies (by surprise/before they were ready to fight).
Och Josua kom hasteliga på dem, och allt krigsfolket med honom, vid vattnet Merom, och öfverföll dem.
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).
Och Herren gaf dem i Israels händer; och de slogo dem, och jagade dem allt intill det stora Zidon, och intill det varma vattnet; och intill slätten i Mizpe österut, och slogo dem tilldess icke en igenblef.
9 Then Joshua and his men did what Yahweh told them to do: They crippled their enemies’ horses and burned their chariots.
Då gjorde Josua dem såsom Herren honom budit hade, och hasade deras hästar, och brände upp deras vagnar;
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.
Och vände om på samma tiden, och vann Hazor, och slog dess Konung med svärd; ty Hazor var tillförene hufvudstaden för alla dessa Konungariken;
11 They killed everyone in Hazor; (they did not spare anyone/no one was left alive) [DOU]. Then they burned the city.
Och slog alla de själar, som derinne voro, med svärdsegg, och gaf dem tillspillo; och lät intet igenblifva, som anda hade; och brände upp Hazor med eld.
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.
Dertill alla dessa Konungarnas städer vann Josua, med deras Konungar; och slog dem med svärdsegg, och gaf dem tillspillo, såsom Mose Herrans tjenare budit hade.
13 Joshua’s men burned Hazor [city], but they did not burn any of the other cities that were built on small hills.
Dock uppbrände Israels barn inga städer med eld, som högt uppe lågo, förutan Hazor allena; det uppbrände Josua.
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.
Och allt rofvet af dessa städerna, och boskapen, bytte Israels barn emellan sig; men alla menniskor slogo de med svärdsegg, tilldess de förgjorde dem, och läto intet igenblifva, som anda hade.
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.
Såsom Herren sinom tjenare Mose, och Mose Josua budit hade, så gjorde Josua, att intet blef tillbaka af allt det Herren hade budit Mose.
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.
Alltså intog Josua all denna landen på bergen, och allt det söderut ligger, och allt landet Gosen, och dalarna, och slättmarkena, och Israels berg med dess dalar;
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.
Allt ifrå berget, som åtskiljer landet uppåt emot Seir intill BaalGad, på bergsens Libanons slätt nedan vid Hermons berg; alla deras Konungar vann han, och slog dem, och drap dem.
18 Joshua’s men fought against those groups for many years.
Men han förde örlig med dessa Konungarna i långan tid.
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.
Och var ingen stad, som sig gaf med frid under Israels barn, undantagna de Heveer, som bodde i Gibeon; utan de vunno dem alla med strid.
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.
Och det skedde så af Herranom, att deras hjerta vardt förstockadt, till att möta Israels barn med strid; på det de skulle tillspillo komma, och dem ingen nåd vederfaras, utan förgöras, såsom Herren hade budit Mose.
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.
På den tiden kom Josua, och utrotade de Enakim utaf bergen af Hebron, af Debir, af Anab, af all Juda berg, och af all Israels berg, och gaf dem tillspillo med deras städer;
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].
Och lät ingen Enakim igenblifva i Israels barnas land, förutan i Gasa, i Gath, och i Asdod; der blefvo de igen.
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.
Alltså tog Josua allt landet in, alldeles såsom Herren hade sagt till Mose; och gaf det Israels barnom till arfs, hvarjo slägtene sin del. Och landet vände åter att strida.
