< 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,
Bere a Hasorhene Yabin tee asɛm a asi no, ɔtoo ahemfo a wodidi so yi nkra denneennen: Madonhene Yobab, Simronhene ne Aksafhene;
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,
ahemfo a wɔwɔ atifi fam mmepɔw so, ahemfo a wɔwɔ Yordan Bon a ɛda Galilea anafo fam; ahemfo a wɔwɔ atɔe fam nkoko so; ahemfo a wɔwɔ Nafɔt Dor atɔe fam;
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 —
Kanaan ahemfo a wɔwɔ apuei ne atɔe; Amorifo ahemfo ne Hetifo ahemfo ne Perisifo ahemfo ne ahemfo a wɔwɔ Yebusifo mmepɔw asase so; ne Hewifo a wɔwɔ nkurow a ɛwɔ Hermon bepɔw ase wɔ Mispa asase so.
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;
Saa ahemfo yi nyinaa gyee pene, boaboaa wɔn nsraadɔm ano sɛ wɔbɛka abɔ mu ako atia Israel. Wɔn nsraadɔm no nyinaa apɔnkɔ dodow ne nteaseɛnam yɛɛ asase no so ma te sɛ mpoano nwea.
5 and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
Wɔbɔɔ wɔn atenae wɔ asu a ɛbɛn Merom ho sɛ wɔrebɛko atia Israel.
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.'
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Nsuro wɔn. Ɔkyena sesɛɛ bere mu na wɔn nyinaa atotɔ. Bubu wɔn apɔnkɔ no nan na hyew wɔn nteaseɛnam no.”
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;
Na Yosua ne nʼakofo kɔɔ Merom asu no ho kɔtow hyɛɛ wɔn so mpofirim.
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;
Na Awurade ma wodii wɔn atamfo no so nkonim. Israelfo no taa wɔn ara kosii Sidon Kɛse ne Misrefot-Maim ho ne Mispa Bon no mu wɔ apuei fam, kosii sɛ atamfo no akofo baako mpo anka.
9 and Joshua doth to them as Jehovah said to him; their horses he hath houghed, and their chariots burnt with fire.
Ɛnna Yosua bubuu apɔnkɔ no anan, san hyew nteaseɛnam no sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no.
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;
Yosua san nʼakyi begyee Hasor kurow no fae, kum ɛhɔ hene. (Na anka Hasor yɛ saa ahemman nkabom no nyinaa kuropɔn.)
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;
Israelfo no sɛee biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ kuropɔn no so. Wɔannya ɔkra fua mpo. Na Yosua too Hasor kuropɔn no mu gya.
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 kunkum ahemfo a wɔaka no nyinaa ne wɔn manfo sɛee wɔn pasaa sɛnea Mose, Awurade somfo, hyɛe no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
13 Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel hath not burned them, save Hazor only, [it] hath Joshua burnt;
Mmom, Yosua anhyew kuropɔn biara a esi siw so gye Hasor.
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.
Na Israelfo no faa asade ne anantwi a wɔwɔ nkurow mmubui no mu nanso wokum emu nnipa no nyinaa.
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.
Sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ ne somfo Mose no, saa ara na Mose nso hyɛɛ Yosua. Na Yosua nso yɛɛ sɛnea wɔka kyerɛɛ no no, dii nea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no nyinaa so.
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,
Enti Yosua ko gyee ɔmantam no nyinaa a ɛyɛ mmepɔw man, Negeb, Gosen asase, atɔe fam nkoko, Yordan Bon, Israel mmepɔw ne nsase tataw fae.
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.
Enti afei, Israel nsase bɛyɛɛ nea efi Halak bepɔw a ekosi Seir wɔ atifi fam toa so kɔ Baal-Gad a ɛwɔ Bepɔw Hermon ase wɔ Lebanon bon mu. Yosua kunkum nsase no so ahemfo nyinaa,
18 Many days hath Joshua made with all these kings war;
wɔ mmere tenten akokoakoko mu.
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;
Kurow biara nni ɔmantam yi mu a ɔne Israelfo yɛɛ asomdwoe apam gye sɛ Hewifo a wɔte Gibeon no. Wodii wɔn a aka no nyinaa so nkonim.
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.
Awurade pirim wɔn koma ma wɔko tiaa Israelfo wɔ bere a anka ɛsɛ sɛ wɔ ne wɔn yɛ asomdwoe nhyehyɛe. Enti wɔsɛee wɔn pasaa a ahummɔbɔ biara nni mu sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
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.
Saa bere no mu, Yosua tɔree Anak asefo a na wɔte bepɔw nkurow Hebron, Debir, Anab ne bepɔw man Yuda ne Israel nyinaa ase. Okum wɔn nyinaa na ɔsɛee wɔn nkurow no pasaa.
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.
Wɔn mu ɔbaako koraa anka wɔ Israel asase so, mmom, wɔn mu bi kaa Gasa, Gat ne 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.
Enti Yosua faa asase no nyinaa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no. Ɔde maa Israelfo sɛ wɔn agyapade sononko kyekyɛɛ mu maa mmusuakuw no. Enti awiei no asase no so dwoe.
