< Joshua 11 >

1 Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Jabini mũthamaki wa Hazoru aiguire ũhoro wa maũndũ macio, agĩtũma ũhoro kũrĩ Jobabu mũthamaki wa Madoni, kũrĩ athamaki a Shimuroni na Akishafu,
And whe Iabin King of Hazor had heard this, then he sent to Iobab King of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 o na kũrĩ athamaki a mwena wa gathigathini arĩa maarĩ irĩma-inĩ, o kũu Araba mwena wa gũthini wa Kinerethu, o na ituamba cia mwena wa ithũĩro, o na kũu Nafothu-Dori mwena wa ithũĩro;
And vnto the Kings that were by ye North in the mountaines and plaines toward the Southside of Cinneroth, and in the valleys, and in the borders of Dor Westward,
3 na kũrĩ Akaanani arĩa matũire mwena wa irathĩro na wa ithũĩro; na kũrĩ Aamori, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ajebusi o kũu bũrũri ũcio wa irĩma; o na kũrĩ Ahivi kũu mũhuro wa Herimoni rũgongo rwa Mizipa.
And vnto the Canaanites, both by East, and by West, and vnto the Amorites, and Hittites, and Perizzites, and Iebusites in the mountaines, and vnto the Hiuites vnder Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
4 Nao magĩũka na mbũtũ ciao ciothe cia ita, na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa mbarathi na ngaari cia ita, maarĩ mbũtũ nene mũno, makaingĩha o ta mũthanga ũrĩa ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
And they came out and all their hostes with them, many people as the sande that is on the sea shore for multitude, with horses and charets exceeding many.
5 Athamaki acio othe magĩturanĩra mbũtũ ciao, na makĩamba kambĩ hamwe gũkuhĩ na maaĩ ma Meromu, nĩgeetha mahũũrane na Isiraeli.
So all these Kings met together, and came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, for to fight against Israel.
6 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ndũkametigĩre, tondũ rũciũ ihinda ta rĩĩrĩ nĩngamaneana othe kũrĩ Isiraeli, moragĩtwo. Mũgaatinia mbarathi ciao mĩtari ithue, na mũcine ngaari ciao cia ita na mwaki.”
Then the Lord sayd vnto Ioshua, Be not afrayd for them: for to morowe about this time will I deliuer them all slaine before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burne their charets with fire.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua na mbũtũ yake yothe ya ita, makĩmakorerera o rĩmwe kũu maaĩ ma Meromu, makĩmatharĩkĩra,
Then came Ioshua and al the men of warre with him against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell vpon them.
8 nake Jehova akĩmaneana moko-inĩ ma Isiraeli. Nao makĩmahoota makĩmaingatithia o nginya Sidoni ĩrĩa Nene, makĩmakinyia Misirefothu-Aimu, o na makĩmakinyia Gĩtuamba kĩa Mizipa kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mwena wa irathĩro, o nginya hakĩaga mũndũ watigirwo arĩ muoyo.
And the Lord gaue them into the hand of Israel: and they smote them, and chased them vnto great Zidon, and vnto Misrephothmaim, and vnto the valley of Mizpeh Eastward, and smote them vntill they had none remaining of them.
9 Joshua akĩmeeka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte: Agĩtinia mbarathi ciao mĩtari, na agĩcina ngaari ciao cia ita na mwaki.
And Ioshua did vnto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their charets with fire.
10 Ningĩ Joshua akĩhũndũka na agĩtunyana itũũra rĩa Hazoru na akĩũraga mũthamaki warĩo na rũhiũ rwa njora. (Hazoru nĩrĩo rĩarĩ itũũra inene mothamaki-inĩ macio).
At that time also Ioshua turned backe, and tooke Hazor, and smote the King thereof with the sword: for Hazor before time was the head of all those kingdomes.
11 Nao makĩũraga andũ arĩa othe maarĩ kuo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Makĩmaniina biũ na matiigana gũtigia kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩarĩ na mĩhũmũ, nake agĩcina Hazoru na mwaki.
Moreouer, they smote all the persons that were therein with the edge of the sworde, vtterly destroying all, leauing none aliue, and hee burnt Hazor with fire.
12 Nake Joshua agĩtunyana matũũra macio mothe ma ũthamaki na athamaki a mo, na akĩmooraga na rũhiũ rwa njora. Akĩmaniina biũ, o ta ũrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aathanĩte.
So all ye cities of those Kings, and all the kings of them did Ioshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and vtterly destroyed them, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded.
13 No rĩrĩ, Isiraeli matiigana gũcina itũũra o na rĩmwe rĩa marĩa maakĩtwo ihumbu-inĩ, o tiga itũũra rĩa Hazoru, rĩrĩa Joshua aacinire.
But Israel burnt none of the cities that stoode still in their strength, saue Hazor onely, that Ioshua burnt.
14 Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmekuuĩire indo ciothe iria maatahire, na mahiũ ma matũũra macio, no makĩũraga andũ othe na rũhiũ rwa njora o nginya makĩmaniina biũ, na matiigana gũtiga mũndũ o na ũmwe warĩ na mĩhũmũ.
And all the spoyle of these cities and the cattel the children of Israel tooke for their praye, but they smote euery man with the edge of the sword vntill they had destroyed them, not leauing one aliue.
15 O ta ũrĩa Jehova aathire ndungata yake Musa-rĩ, ũguo noguo nake Musa aathire Joshua; nake Joshua agĩĩka o ta ũguo; gũtirĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe ateekire wa maũndũ marĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa mekwo.
As the Lord had commanded Moses his seruant, so did Moses commande Ioshua, and so did Ioshua: he left nothing vndone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩtunyana bũrũri ũcio wothe: nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma, na bũrũri wothe wa Negevu, na mwena wa Gosheni wothe, na ituamba cia irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, na bũrũri wa Araba, na irĩma cia kũu Isiraeli o na ituamba ciacio,
So Ioshua tooke all this land of the mountaines, and all the South, and all the lande of Goshen, and the lowe countrey, and the plaine, and the mountaine of Israel, and the lowe countrey of the same,
17 na kuuma kĩrĩma kĩa Halaku, kĩrĩa kĩrorete mwena wa Seiru, nginya Baali-Gadi kũu Gĩtuamba kĩa Lebanoni mũhuro wa kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni. Akĩnyiita athamaki ao othe, na akĩmahũũra, akĩmooraga.
From the mount Halak, that goeth vp to Seir, euen vnto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon, vnder mount Hermon: and all their Kings he tooke, and smote them, and slewe them.
18 Joshua nĩarũire mbaara na athamaki acio othe ihinda iraaya.
Ioshua made warre long time with all those Kings,
19 Na tiga o Ahivi arĩa maatũũraga Gibeoni, gũtirĩ itũũra inene o na rĩmwe rĩagĩire kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa thayũ na andũ a Isiraeli, nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtunyana matũũra macio mothe na ũndũ wa kũrũa mbaara nao.
Neither was there any citie that made peace with the children of Israel, saue those Hiuites that inhabited Gibeon: all other they tooke by battell.
20 Nĩgũkorwo nĩ Jehova we mwene watũmire, momie ngoro ciao nĩguo makarũe mbaara na andũ a Isiraeli, nĩgeetha amaniine biũ, amaniine o kũmaniina atekũmaiguĩra tha, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
For it came of the Lord, to harden their heartes that they shoulde come against Israel in battell to the intent that they shoulde destroye them vtterly, and shewe them no mercie, but that they shoulde bring them to nought: as the Lord had commanded Moses.
21 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Joshua agĩthiĩ akĩniina andũ a Anaki kuuma bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma: kuuma Hebironi, na Debiri na Anabu, na kuuma bũrũri wothe ũrĩa wa irĩma wa Juda, na kuuma bũrũri wothe ũrĩa wa irĩma wa Isiraeli. Joshua akĩmaniina biũ hamwe na matũũra mao.
And that same season came Ioshua, and destroyed the Anakims out of the mountaines: as out of Hebron, out of Debir, out of Anab, and out of all the mountaines of Iudah, and out of all the mountaines of Israel: Ioshua destroyed them vtterly with their cities.
22 Na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa Anaki bũrũri ũcio wa Isiraeli; no itũũra rĩa Gaza, na rĩa Gathu, na rĩa Ashidodi nĩ gwatigarire andũ amwe ao.
There was no Anakim left in the lande of the children of Israel: onely in Azzah, in Gath, and in Ashdod were they left.
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩtunyana bũrũri ũcio wothe, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa, nake akĩũhe andũ a Isiraeli ũtuĩke igai rĩao na ũgaywo kũringana na ũrĩa mĩhĩrĩga yagayanĩtio. Naguo bũrũri ũkĩhoorera, gũkĩaga mbaara.
So Ioshua tooke the whole land, according to all that the Lord had saide vnto Moses: and Ioshua gaue it for an inheritance vnto Israel according to their portion through their tribes: then the land was at rest without warre.
