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,
When Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, 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 who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights 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, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under 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.
They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
5 Eze ndị a niile zukọrọ maa ụlọ ikwu ha nʼakụkụ mmiri Merọm, maka ibuso Izrel agha.
All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with 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.”
Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall 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 suddenly, with all the warriors, against them by the waters of Merom, and attacked 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.
Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward. They struck them until they left them no one 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.
Joshua did to them as Yahweh told him. He hamstrung 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.
Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor used to be 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.
They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. 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.
Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of Yahweh 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 on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burned that.
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.
The children of Israel took all the plunder of these cities, with the livestock, as plunder for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They didn’t leave any who 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 Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that Yahweh 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 captured all that land, the hill country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland 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.
from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck 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, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of 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 Yahweh to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Yahweh 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.
Joshua came 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. Joshua utterly destroyed them 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 in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
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 Yahweh spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
