Joshua 11

1 Ke pweng ke kutangla lun Israel inge sonol Tokosra Jabin lun acn Hazor, el sapla nu sel Tokosra Jobab lun mwet Madon, ac nu sin tokosra lun acn Shimron ac acn Achshaph,

When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard about what happened, he sent a message to Jobab, king of Madon, to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph,

2 ac nu sin tokosra nukewa fin acn tohktok in acn epang, ac Infahlfal Jordan eir in Lulu Galilee, ac pe eol uh, ac sisken meoa apkuran nu Dor.

and to the kings of the northern hill country, the Jordan Valley south of Kinnereth, the western foothills, and the foothills of Dor to the west,

3 El oayapa supwala kas nu sin mwet Canaan lefahl kutulap ac roto Infacl Jordan, ac nu sin mwet Amor, ac nu sin mwet Hit, ac nu sin mwet Periz, ac nu sin mwet Jebus su muta fineol uh, ac nu sin mwet Hiv su muta pe Fineol Hermon in acn Mizpah.

to the kings of the Canaanites, both east and west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites living near Mount Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

4 Elos tuku wi mwet mweun puspis lalos, ac pisalos pus oana puk weacn uh. Oayapa pus horse ac chariot natulos.

All their armies assembled together, a vast horde as numberless as the sand of the seashore, together with many, many horses and chariots.

5 Tokosra inge nukewa wi mwet mweun lalos elos tukeni tuku ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos sisken infacl srisrik Merom, ac akola in mweun lain mwet Israel.

All these kings joined forces and set up camp beside the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.

6 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Nik kom sangeng selos, tuh pacl se inge lutu, nga fah onelosla nufon ke sripen Israel. Kom fah pakiya alko ke nien horse natulos, ac esukak chariot natulos.”

The Lord said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid because of them, for by this time tomorrow I myself will hand them all over to Israel, dead. Cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”

7 Na Joshua ac mwet lal nukewa sa na sruokolosi meet liki elos akola sisken infacl srisrik Merom.

Joshua and the Israelite army went and attacked them without warning at the waters of Merom.

8 LEUM GOD El sang kutangla nu sin Israel fin mwet inge. Mwet Israel lainulos ac ukwalos nwe Misrephoth Maim ac Sidon nu eir, oayapa nwe ke Infahlfal Mizpah nu kutulap. Elos mweunelos nwe ke na wangin sie moul.

The Lord handed them over to the Israelites who cut them down and chased them as far as Greater Sidon and Misrephoth Maim, and east to the valley of Mizpah, killing them until none were left.

9 Joshua el oru nu selos oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin — el pakela alko ke nien horse natulos ac esukak chariot natulos.

Afterwards Joshua did what the Lord had ordered: he crippled the horses and burned the chariots.

10 Na Joshua el forla sruokya acn Hazor, ac uniya tokosra se lun acn we. (In pacl sac acn Hazor pa ku fin mutunfacl ingo kewa.)

Then Joshua turned on Hazor. He captured it and killed its king, for Hazor was at that time the chief of all these kingdoms.

11 Elos onelosla nufon mwet in acn sac. Wangin sie mwet lula. Na elos esukak siti sac.

Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. He set it apart and completely destroyed it—no one was left alive. Then he burned down Hazor.

12 Joshua el sruokya siti ingo kewa, oayapa tokosra lalos. El onelosla nufon, oana ma Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sapkin.

Joshua captured all these towns and killed their kings. He set them apart and completely destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had ordered.

13 Tusruktu, mwet Israel elos tia esukak kutena siti su musala fin pwelung matu, sayen Hazor mukena, su Joshua el tuh esukak.

However, Israel did not burn any of the towns built on mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua did burn.

14 Mwet Israel elos eis mwe kasrup ac kosro nut nukewa liki siti inge tuh in ma lalos. A elos uniya mwet nukewa, ac wangin sie lula.

The Israelites did take for themselves all the plunder and livestock from these towns. But they killed all the inhabitants, destroying them all so none were left alive.

15 LEUM GOD El tuh sang ma sap lal nu sel Moses, mwet kulansap lal, ac Moses el sang nu sel Joshua, ac Joshua el akos. El oru ma nukewa oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.

As the Lord had instructed Moses, so Moses had instructed Joshua. Joshua did what he had been told—he did everything that the Lord had instructed Moses.

16 Joshua el sruokya kewa acn inge, acn fineol uh ac pe eol uh, epang ac eir, oayapa acn Goshen nufon ac acn mwesis nu eir, ac Infahlfal Jordan.

So Joshua conquered the whole land—the hill country, the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Jordan Valley, the mountains of Israel, and the eastern foothills.

17 Lupan mutunfacl se inge mutawauk ke Fineol Halak nu eir apkuran nu Edom, fahla nwe ke acn Baalgad nu epang, ke Infahlfal Lebanon su oan eir in Fineol Hermon.

This covered land from Mount Halak leading to Seir in the south, right up to Baal Gad in the north, below Mount Hermon in the valley of Lebanon. Joshua captured and killed all their kings.

18 Joshua el tuh mweuni tokosra lun acn inge ke pulan pacl na loes se. Tusruktu, el sruokolosi kewa ac el onelosla.

Joshua fought a long war with all these kings.

19 Siti sefanna ma tuh orala misla yurin mwet Israel pa Gibeon, su pa inge acn se ma kutu sin mwet Hiv muta we. Siti nukewa saya sruhu ke mweun.

Not a single town made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the rest were conquered in battle.

20 LEUM GOD El pirik insien mwet inge tuh elos in lungse mweun lain mwet Israel, elos in mau arulana sikiyukla ac anwuki nufon, in kalem lah wangin pakomuta nu selos. Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.

For the Lord made them stubborn, wanting to fight the Israelites so that they might be set apart and completely destroyed, wiped out without mercy, as the Lord had instructed Moses.

21 In pacl se inge Joshua el som ac onelosla mwet yohk pisa ac ku su pangpang Anakim su muta fineol uh in acn Hebron, Debir, Anab, ac infulan eol in Judah ac Israel. Joshua el kunauselosla nukewa wi siti selos.

During this time Joshua also annihilated the descendants of Anak living in the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and all the hill country of Judah and Israel. Joshua set apart and completely destroyed their towns,

22 Wangin mwet Anakim lula in facl sin mwet Israel. Tusruktu mwet ekasrna selos lula in acn Gaza, Gath, ac Ashdod.

and there were no descendants of Anak left in the land of Israel, only some in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.

23 Joshua el sruokya facl sac nufon in oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses. Ac Joshua el sang facl sac tuh in mwe usru nu sin mwet Israel, ac kitalik fal nu ke kais sie sruf lalos. Na mwet uh mongla liki mweun.

So Joshua took the entire land in accordance with what the Lord had instructed Moses, giving it to Israel to own as it was divided up among the tribes. Then the land was at peace.
