< Joshua 11 >

1 Mgbe Jabin eze Hazọ nụrụ nke a, o ziri ozi zigara Jobab eze ndị Madọn, zigakwara ndị eze obodo Shịmrọn na Akshaf,
And it came to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heard [this], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 na ndị eze bi nʼobodo ugwu ugwu, na ndị bi nʼime Araba, na ndịda Kineret, na ndagwurugwu ọdịda anyanwụ, na nʼime Nafọt Doa, nke dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ,
and to the kings that were northward in the mountains, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and on the upland of Dor on the west,
3 zigakwara eze ndị Kenan ndị bi nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, na ọdịda anyanwụ, zigakwara eze ndị Amọrait, na eze ndị Het, na eze ndị Periz, na nke ndị Jebus nke dị nʼala ugwu. O zigakwara eze ndị Hiv ndị bi na ndịda Hemon, na mpaghara Mizpa.
to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
4 Ndị eze a niile kwekọrịtara chịkọtaa ndị agha ha niile nʼotu. Ndị agha ha chịkọtara dị ukwuu dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri. Ha ji ọtụtụ ịnyịnya na ọtụtụ ụgbọ agha.
And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a people numerous as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
5 Eze ndị a niile zukọrọ maa ụlọ ikwu ha nʼakụkụ mmiri Merọm, maka ibuso Izrel agha.
And all these kings met together, and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
6 Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị Joshua, “Atụla ha egwu, nʼihi na echi, nʼoge dịka ugbu a, aga m ewere ha niile nʼọnọdụ ndị egburu egbu nyefee ha nʼaka Izrel. Ị ga-ebipụ nkwonkwo ụkwụ ịnyịnya ha niile, kpọọkwa ụgbọ agha ha niile ọkụ.”
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow about this time will I give them all up slain before Israel: their horses shalt thou hough, and thou shalt burn their chariots with fire.
7 Ya mere, Joshua na ndị agha ya niile bịaruru akụkụ mmiri Merọm na mberede, lụso ha agha.
And Joshua, and all the people of war with him, came upon them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them.
8 Onyenwe anyị nyefere ndị agha ha nʼaka ndị Izrel, ndị lụgburu ha, chụọ ha ọsọ ruo nʼoke ala Saịdọn, ruokwa ebe a na-akpọ Mizrefot Maim, na ruo nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, nʼime Ndagwurugwu Mizpa. Ya mere, o nweghị ọ bụladị otu onye iro a hapụrụ ndụ nʼagha ahụ.
And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and to Misrephoth-maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward, and smote them until none were left remaining to them.
9 Joshua na ndị agha ya mere ha ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru na a ga-eme ha. Ha gbupụrụ nkwonkwo ụkwụ ịnyịnya ha niile, surekwaa ụgbọ agha ha niile nʼọkụ.
And Joshua did to them as Jehovah had said to him: he houghed their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
10 Mgbe ahụ, Joshua laghachiri azụ busoo Hazọ agha merie ya, were mma agha gbuo eze ya, nʼihi na Hazọ bụrịị isi obodo alaeze ahụ niile.
And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword; for Hazor was in times past the head of all those kingdoms.
11 Ha ji mma agha gbuo ndị niile bi nʼobodo ahụ, bibie ha kpamkpam, ọ dịghị onye a hapụrụ nke na-eku ume. O sukwara Hazọ ọkụ.
And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, destroying them utterly: there was not any left to breathe; and he burned Hazor with fire.
12 Joshua weere obodo niile nke ndị eze ahụ na ndị eze ha niile, jiri mma agha gbuchapụ ha. Ọ lakwara ha niile nʼiyi, dịka Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu.
And all the cities of those kings and all their kings did Joshua take; and he smote them with the edge of the sword, destroying them utterly, as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded.
13 Ma ndị Izrel esughị obodo ọbụla nʼime ndị ahụ niile e wuru na mkputamkpu ala ọkụ, karịakwa obodo Hazọ, nke Joshua kpọrọ ọkụ.
Only, all the cities that stood still upon their hills Israel did not burn, save Hazor alone, [which] Joshua burned.
14 Ihe niile a kwatara nʼagha nʼobodo ndị a, na anụ ụlọ ha niile, ka ndị Izrel weere. Ma ha gburu mmadụ niile. Ha ahapụghị ọ bụladị otu onye ndụ.
And all the spoil of these cities and the cattle the children of Israel took as prey to themselves; only, they smote all the men with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them: they left none that breathed.
15 Nʼihi na nke a bụ iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis onyeozi ya. Mosis nyekwara Joshua otu iwu a. Ugbu a Joshua emeela dịka a gwara ya. O mezuru ihe ndị a niile, bụ nke Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
As Jehovah had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua: he let nothing fail of all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.
16 Ya mere, Joshua meriri ala ahụ niile, bụ ala ugwu ugwu ahụ, na ala Negeb, na ala Goshen, na obosara ala ọdịda anyanwụ ahụ niile, na ala Araba, na ala ugwu ahụ niile, na ala ahụ dị na mgbada ugwu Izrel.
And Joshua took all that land, the mountain and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and its lowland;
17 Nʼihi nke a, ala ndị Izrel nwere gbasara nʼụzọ niile site nʼugwu Halak, nke dị nso na Sia, ruo Baal-Gad nke dị na Ndagwurugwu Lebanọn, na ndịda ugwu Hemon. Joshua jidere ma gbukwaa ndị eze ndị ala ahụ niile.
from the smooth mountain, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-Gad in the valley of Lebanon, at the foot of mount Hermon; and he took all their kings, and smote them, and put them to death.
18 O were Joshua ogologo oge imeri obodo ndị a niile na eze ha nʼagha.
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
19 Ọ dịkwaghị obodo ọzọ e mere ka ha na ụmụ Izrel dị nʼudo karịa naanị ndị Hiv, ndị bi na Gibiọn. Obodo ndị ọzọ niile ka a lara nʼiyi.
There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites who dwelt at Gibeon; they took all in battle.
20 Nʼihi na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, nʼonwe ya, mere ka ndị eze ahụ nyịchie obi ha, ka ha lụso Izrel agha, ka o si otu a laa ha nʼiyi, kpochapụkwa ha niile, na-emereghị ha amara, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
For it was of Jehovah that their heart was hardened, to meet Israel in battle, that they might be utterly destroyed, and that there might be no favour shewn to them, but that they might be destroyed, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
21 Nʼoge ahụ kwa, Joshua gara kpochapụ ndị Anak ahụ bi nʼala ugwu ugwu, ya bụ, na Hebrọn, na Debịa, na Anab, na ala ugwu ugwu Juda, na ala ugwu ugwu Izrel. O gburu ha niile, laa obodo ha nʼiyi.
And Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountain of Judah, and from all the mountain of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly, with their cities.
22 Ọ dịkwaghị otu onye Anak a hapụrụ ndụ nʼoke ala Izrel niile, karịakwa ndị fọdụrụ na Gaza, na Gat, na nʼime Ashdọd.
There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel; only at Gazah, at Gath, and at Ashdod there remained.
23 Ya mere, Joshua meriri ala ahụ niile dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye ya Mosis nʼiwu. O nyekwara ndị Izrel ala ahụ dịka ihe nketa ha. O kenyere ha ala ahụ dịka ebo ha si dị. Site nʼoge ahụ gaa nʼihu, ala ahụ dara jụụ. Ibu agha adịghịkwa nʼime ya ọzọ.
And Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
