< 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,
Ɛberɛ a Hasorhene Yabin tee asɛm a asi no, ɔtoo ahemfo a wɔdidi so yi nkra dendeenden: 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 mmepɔ so, ahemfo a wɔwɔ Yordan Bɔnhwa a ɛda Galilea anafoɔ fam; ahemfo a wɔwɔ atɔeɛ fam nkokoɔ so; ahemfo a wɔwɔ Nafɔt Dor atɔeɛ 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 apueeɛ ne atɔeɛ; Amorifoɔ ahemfo ne Hetifoɔ ahemfo ne Perisifoɔ ahemfo ne ahemfo a wɔwɔ Yebusifoɔ mmepɔ asase so; ne Hewifoɔ a wɔwɔ nkuro a ɛwɔ Hermon bepɔ 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 akodɔm ano sɛ wɔbɛka abɔ mu ako atia Israel. Wɔn akodɔm no nyinaa, apɔnkɔ dodoɔ ne nteaseɛnam yɛɛ asase no so ma te sɛ mpoano anwea.
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 atenaeɛ wɔ asuo 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 sɛ, “Nsuro wɔn. Ɔkyena sɛsɛɛ berɛ mu na wɔn nyinaa atotɔ. Bubu wɔn apɔnkɔ no nan na hye 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 nʼakodɔm kɔɔ Merom asuo no ho kɔto 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 wɔdii wɔn atamfoɔ no so nkonim. Israelfoɔ no taa wɔn ara kɔsii Sidon Kɛseɛ ne Misrefot-Maim ho ne Mispa Bɔnhwa no mu wɔ apueeɛ fam, kɔsii sɛ atamfoɔ no akofoɔ 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 nan, sane hyee nteaseɛnam no sɛdeɛ 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 sane nʼakyi bɛgyee Hasor kuro no faeɛ, kumm ɛhɔ ɔhene. (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;
Israelfoɔ no sɛee biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ kuropɔn no so. Wɔannya ɔkra fua mpo. Na Yosua too Hasor kuropɔn no mu ogya.
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 kunkumm ahemfo a aka no nyinaa ne wɔn manfoɔ sɛee wɔn pasaa sɛdeɛ Mose, Awurade ɔsomfoɔ, hyɛɛ 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 anhye kuropɔn biara a ɛsi esie 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 Israelfoɔ no faa asadeɛ ne anantwie a wɔwɔ nkuro mmubuiɛ no mu nanso wɔkumm 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.
Sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ ne ɔsomfoɔ Mose no, saa ara na Mose nso hyɛɛ Yosua. Na Yosua nso yɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔka kyerɛɛ no no, dii deɛ 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 mmepɔ ɔman, Negeb, Gosen asase, atɔeɛ fam nkokoɔ, Yordan Bɔnhwa, Israel mmepɔ ne nsase tata faeɛ.
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 deɛ ɛfiri Halak bepɔ a ɛkɔsi Seir wɔ atifi fam toaso kɔ Baal-Gad a ɛwɔ Bepɔ Hermon ase wɔ Lebanon bɔnhwa mu. Yosua kunkumm nsase no so ahemfo nyinaa,
18 Many days hath Joshua made with all these kings war;
wɔ mmerɛ 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;
Kuro biara nni ɔmantam yi mu a ɔne Israelfoɔ yɛɛ asomdwoeɛ apam gye sɛ Hewifoɔ a wɔte Gibeon no. Wɔdii 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 akoma ma wɔko tiaa Israelfoɔ wɔ ɛberɛ a anka ɛsɛ sɛ wɔ ne wɔn yɛ asomdwoeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ. Enti wɔsɛee wɔn pasaa a ahummɔborɔ biara nni mu sɛdeɛ 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 ɛberɛ no mu, Yosua tɔree Anak asefoɔ a na wɔte bepɔ nkuro Hebron, Debir, Anab ne bepɔman Yuda ne Israel nyinaa ase. Ɔkumm wɔn nyinaa na ɔsɛee wɔn nkuro 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 fua 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 sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no. Ɔde maa Israelfoɔ sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ sononko kyekyɛɛ mu maa mmusuakuo no. Enti awieeɛ no asase no so dwoeɛ.
