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 had heard those things, 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 on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders 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.
And 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 under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
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, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore 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 when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched 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 Yhwh said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
7 Ya mere, Joshua na ndị agha ya niile bịaruru akụkụ mmiri Merọm na mberede, lụso ha agha.
So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they 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 Yhwh delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Sidon, and unto Misrephoth–maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
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 unto them as Yhwh bade him: he hamstrung their horses, and burnt 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 at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was 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, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt 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 the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of Yhwh 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.
But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
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 for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
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 Yhwh commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Yhwh 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.
So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
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.
Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal–gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
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 the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took 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 Yhwh to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as Yhwh 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 at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains 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 was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in 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.
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yhwh said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
