< Joshua 11 >

1 When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard this, he sent a message to Jobab, king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Akshaph.
Hazor manghai Jabin loh a yaak vaengah Madon manghai Jobab, Shimron manghai neh Akshaph manghai,
2 He also sent the message to the kings who were in the northern hill country, in the Jordan River valley south of Kinnereth, in the lowlands, and in Naphoth Dor to the west.
tlangpuei tlang neh Kinnereth tuithim kolken kah manghai rhoek te khaw, kolrhawk neh khotlak Dore khamyai kah khaw a tah.
3 He also sent a message to the Canaanites to the east and west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites by Mount Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
Khocuk khotlak kah Kanaan neh Amori, Khitti, Perizzi khaw, tlang kah Jebusi neh Mizpah kho Hermon kungdak kah Khivee kah khaw, a tah.
4 All their armies came out with them, a great number of soldiers, in number like the sand on the seashore. They had a great number of horses and chariots.
Te dongah amih te a lambong boeih neh pilnam loh tuipuei tuikaeng kah laivin bangla muep ha pawk uh tih a marhang khaw khawk, a leng khaw muep yet.
5 All these kings met at the appointed time, and they camped at the waters of Merom to wage war with Israel.
Tekah manghai rhoek loh boeih tuentah uh thae tih ha suntla uh. Te phoeiah Israel tloek ham Merom kah tui taengah tun rhaeh uh.
6 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid in their presence, because tomorrow at this time I am giving them all to Israel as dead men. You will hamstring their horses, and you will burn their chariots.”
Tedae BOEIPA loh Joshua taengah, “Amih mikhmuh ah rhih uh boeh, thangvuen he vaeng tue ah amih boeih te Israel mikhmuh ah kai loh a rhok la ka tloeng vetih a marhang khaw na haih bitni, a leng khaw hmai neh na hoeh bitni,” a ti nah.
7 Joshua and all the men of war came. They arrived suddenly at the waters of Merom, and attacked the enemy.
Te dongah Joshua amah neh caemtloek pilnam boeih loh Merom tui taengah thaeng cet tih amih te a tloek uh.
8 Yahweh gave the enemy into the hand of Israel, and they struck them and pursued them to Sidon, Misrephoth Maim, and to the Valley of Mizpah to the east. They struck them until not even one survivor of them was left.
Te vaengah amih te BOEIPA loh Israel kut dongla a tloeng. Te dongah amih te a tloek uh tih Sidon puei, Misrephothmayim neh khocuk kah Mizpeh kolbawn due pataeng a hloem uh tih rhaengnaeng khaw a hlun mueh la a ngawn uh.
9 Joshua did to them just as Yahweh told him. He hamstrung the horses and burned the chariots.
BOEIPA loh a uen vanbangla Joshua loh amih taengah a saii. A marhang khaw a haih pah tih a leng te khaw hmai neh a hoeh pah.
10 Joshua turned back at that time and captured Hazor. He struck its king with the sword. (Hazor had been head of all these kingdoms.)
Tekah khohnin dongah Joshua loh ha bal tih Hazor neh Hazor manghai te a buem. Hazor tah a hmai ah ram takuem kah a lu la a om dongah cunghang neh a ngawn.
11 They struck with the sword every living creature that was there, and he set them apart to be destroyed, so there was not any living creature left alive. Then he burned Hazor.
A khuikah hinglu boeih te khaw cunghang ha neh a ngawn tih hiil aka khueh boeih a hlun mueh la a thup phoeiah Hazor te hmai neh a hoeh.
12 Joshua captured all the cities of these kings. He also captured all their kings and struck them with the edge of the sword. He completely destroyed them with the edge of the sword, just as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh a uen vanbangla manghai khopuei boeih neh a manghai boeih te Joshua loh a buem vaengah cunghang ha neh a ngawn tih a thup.
13 Israel did not burn any of the cities built on mounds, except Hazor. It alone Joshua burned.
Tedae som kah aka pai khopuei boeih te Israel loh hoeh pawt tih Hazor amah bueng ni Joshua loh a hoeh.
14 The army of Israel took all the plunder from these cities along with the livestock for themselves. They killed every human being with the edge of the sword until all were dead. They left alive no creature that breathed.
Khopuei rhoek kah kutbuem boeih neh rhamsa te Israel ca rhoek loh amamih ham a poel a yoeuh. Tedae hlang boeih te cunghang ha neh a ngawn tih hiil aka khueh boeih tah a mit a moeng hilah hlun voel pawh.
15 Just as Yahweh had commanded his servant Moses, in the same way, Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did it. He left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses to do.
BOEIPA loh a sal Moses a uen vanbangla Joshua te khaw Moses loh a uen. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen olka boeih te a hmaii mueh la Joshua loh a saii.
16 Joshua took all that land, the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the foothills, the Jordan River valley, the hill country of Israel, and the lowlands.
Te dongah Joshua loh tlang kah khohmuen tom neh Negev pum khaw, Goshen khohmuen pum neh kolrhawk Arabah khaw, Israel tlang neh kolrhawk khaw,
17 From Mount Halak near Edom, and going north as far as Baal Gad in the valley near Lebanon below Mount Hermon, he captured all their kings and killed them.
Seir la aka luei Halak tlang lamkah Lebanon kolbawn Baalgad khaw, Hermon tlang hmui khaw a loh. A manghai rhoek te khaw boeih a buem tih a ngawn phoeiah a duek sak.
18 Joshua waged war for a long time with all the kings.
Tekah manghai boeih te Joshua loh caemtloek neh a saii vaengah khohnin long khaw muep puh.
19 Not one city made peace with the army of Israel except the Hivites who lived in Gibeon. Israel captured all the rest of the cities in battle.
Gibeon kah khosa Khivee pawt atah Israel ca rhoek taengah moi aka thuung a om pawt dongah khopuei te caem neh boeih a loh.
20 For it was Yahweh who hardened their hearts so they would wage war against Israel, so that he might completely destroy them without mercy, just as he had instructed Moses.
Amih loh BOEIPA taengah a lungbuei aka pom la om tih Israel te caem neh a mah uh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla amih te mitmoeng sak ham lungmacil om mueh la a thup sak.
21 Then Joshua came at that time and he destroyed the Anakim. He did this in the hill country, at Hebron, Debir, Anab, and in all the hill country of Judah, and in all the hill country of Israel. Joshua completely destroyed them and their cities.
Te vaeng tue ah Joshua loh a paan bal tih Hebron, Debir, Anab tlang lamkah Anakim khaw, Judah tlang pum, Israel tlang boeih neh a khopuei rhoek te khaw a saii pah tih amih te Joshua amah loh a thup.
22 None of the Anakim were left in the land of Israel except at Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.
Israel ca khohmuen ah Anakim tah hlun pawh. Gaza, Gath neh Ashdod kah bueng ni a sueng.
23 So Joshua captured the whole land, just as Yahweh said to Moses. Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel, assigned to each of their tribes. Then the land had rest from the wars.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses boeih a uen vanbangla khohmuen pum te Joshua loh a loh. Te phoeiah Israel taengah amah koca kah boelnah bangla Joshua rho a paek tih khohmuen khaw caemtloek lamloh mong van.
