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 it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard, that he sent unto Jobab king of Madon, and unto the king of Shimron, and unto 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 unto the kings who were on the north in the hill country and in the waste plain south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, —and in the heights of Dor, on the west:
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.
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 Mizpah;
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—they, and all their hosts with them, much people, like the sand that is upon the seashore for multitude, —with horses and chariots very many.
5 Athamaki acio othe magĩturanĩra mbũtũ ciao, na makĩamba kambĩ hamwe gũkuhĩ na maaĩ ma Meromu, nĩgeetha mahũũrane na Isiraeli.
And, when all these kings were gathered together, they came in, and encamped as one man, at the waters of Merom, to fight with 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 said Yahweh unto Joshua—Do not fear because of them, for, to-morrow, about this time, am I going to deliver up all of them, slain, before Israel, —their horses, shalt thou ham-string, and, their chariots, shalt thou burn up with fire.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua na mbũtũ yake yothe ya ita, makĩmakorerera o rĩmwe kũu maaĩ ma Meromu, makĩmatharĩkĩra,
So Joshua, and all the army with him, came in upon them, by the waters of Merom, suddenly, and fell upon 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 Yahweh delivered them up into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them as far as great Zidon, and as far as Misrephoth-maim, and as far as the valley of Mizpeh, eastward, —yea they smote them until they left them not a survivor.
9 Joshua akĩmeeka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte: Agĩtinia mbarathi ciao mĩtari, na agĩcina ngaari ciao cia ita na mwaki.
And Joshua did unto them, as Yahweh had said unto him, —their horses, he ham-strung, and, their chariots, burned he up 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).
Then Joshua turned back, at that time, and captured Hazor, and, the king thereof, smote he with the sword, —for, Hazor, aforetime, was the head of all these kingdoms.
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.
And they smote all the souls that were therein, with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, there was left no breathing thing, —and, Hazor, burned he up 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.
And, all the cities of these kings, and all the kings thereof, did Joshua capture, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, —as Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded.
13 No rĩrĩ, Isiraeli matiigana gũcina itũũra o na rĩmwe rĩa marĩa maakĩtwo ihumbu-inĩ, o tiga itũũra rĩa Hazoru, rĩrĩa Joshua aacinire.
Yet, none of the cities that were still standing upon their mound, did Israel burn, none but Hazor alone, did Joshua burn.
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.
But, all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, did the sons of Israel take as their prey, —nevertheless, all the human beings, smote they with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, they left remaining no breathing thing.
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 Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so, Moses commanded Joshua, and, so, Joshua, did, he set aside nothing of all that Yahweh 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 Joshua took all this land—the hill country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the waste plain, —and the hill country of Israel, and the lowland thereof:
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 Mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even as far as Baal-gad, in the valley of the Lebanon, under Mount Hermon, —and, all their kings, he captured, and smote them, and put them to death.
18 Joshua nĩarũire mbaara na athamaki acio othe ihinda iraaya.
Many days, did Joshua, with all these kings, make war.
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.
There was not a city that made peace with the sons of Israel, save the Hivites dwelling in Gibeon, —the whole, took they in battle.
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, from Yahweh, came it to pass, that their heart was emboldened to come out to war with Israel, that he might devote them to destruction, that they might find no favour, —but that he might destroy them, —as Yahweh 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 Joshua came in, at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country—from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel, —with their cities, did Joshua devote them to destruction.
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 left remaining none of the Anakim, in the land of the sons of Israel, —save only, in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
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 Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh had spoken unto Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their portions by their tribes, —and, the land, had rest from war.
