Joshua 11
1 And it cometh to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heareth, that he sendeth 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 [are] on the north in the hill-country, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the low country, and in the elevations 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 [to] 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 Mizpeh —
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 go out, they and all their camps with them, a people numerous, as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore for multitude, and horse and charioteer 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 all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Merɔn tsi dzidzi la gbɔ.
6 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'Be not afraid of their presence, for to-morrow about this time I am giving all of them wounded before Israel; their horses thou dost hough, and their chariots burn 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 And Joshua cometh, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fall on them;
Yosua kple eƒe amewo va dze futɔwo dzi le vo me le Merɔn tsi dzidzi la gbɔ.
8 and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of Israel, and they smite them and pursue them unto the great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-Maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they smite them, till he hath not left to them a remnant;
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 doth to them as Jehovah said to him; their horses he hath houghed, and their chariots burnt 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 And Joshua turneth back at that time, and captureth Hazor, and its king he hath smitten by the sword; for Hazor formerly [is] 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 smite every person who [is] in it by the mouth of the sword; he hath devoted — he hath not left any one breathing, and Hazor he hath burnt 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 their kings, hath Joshua captured, and he smiteth them by the mouth of the sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded.
Yosua dze fia mamlɛawo ƒe du bubuawo dzi. Wowu ameawo katã abe ale si Mose gblɔe da ɖi xoxo la ene.
13 Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel hath not burned them, save Hazor only, [it] hath Joshua burnt;
Ke Yosua metɔ dzo du siwo nɔ togbɛwo dzi la ya o, negbe Hazor ko.
14 and all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, have the sons of Israel spoiled for themselves; only, every human being they have smitten by the mouth of the sword, till their destroying them; they have not left any one breathing.
Israelviwo ha du siwo wotsrɔ̃ la ƒe nuwo kple lãwo na wo ɖokuiwo, ke wowu amegbetɔwo katã,
15 As Jehovah commanded Moses His servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so hath Joshua done; he hath not turned aside a thing of all that Jehovah 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 And Joshua taketh all this land: the hill-country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, even the hill-country of Israel and its low lands,
Ale Yosua ɖu anyigba blibo la dzi. Exɔ Negeb kple Gosenyigba kple Araba kple Israel ƒe tonyigbawo kple sɔsɔeƒewo.
17 from the mount of Halak, which is going up [to] Seir, and unto Baal-Gad, in the valley of Lebanon, under mount Hermon; and all their kings he hath captured, and he smiteth them, and putteth 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 hath Joshua made with all these kings war;
Yosua tsɔ ƒe adre wɔ nu siawo katã.
19 there hath not been a city which made peace with the sons of Israel save the Hivite, inhabitants of Gibeon; the whole they have taken in battle;
Israelviwo mewɔ ŋutifafa kple du aɖeke me tɔwo o, negbe Hivitɔ siwo nɔ Gibeon ko. Wowu ame bubuawo katã,
20 for from Jehovah it hath been to strengthen their heart, to meet in battle with Israel, in order to devote them, so that they have no grace, but in order to destroy them, as Jehovah 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 cometh at that time, and cutteth off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, even from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; with their cities hath Joshua devoted them.
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 hath not been left Anakim in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, were they left.
Wo dometɔ aɖeke megasusɔ ɖe Israelnyigba dzi o, ke ɖewo ganɔ Gaza, Gat kple Asdod.
23 And Joshua taketh the whole of the land, according to all that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, and Joshua giveth it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes; and the land hath 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.
