Iosue 11
1 Quae cum audisset Iabin rex Asor, misit ad Iobab regem Madon, et ad regem Semeron, atque ad regem Achsaph:
Now when Jabin king of Hazor heard about these things, he sent word to Jobab king of Madon; to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph;
2 ad reges quoque Aquilonis, qui habitabant in montanis et in planitie contra meridiem Ceneroth, in campestribus quoque et regionibus Dor iuxta mare:
to the kings of the north in the mountains, in the Arabah south of Chinnereth, in the foothills, and in Naphoth-dor to the west;
3 Chananaeum quoque ab Oriente et Occidente, et Amorrhaeum atque Hethaeum ac Pherezaeum et Iebusaeum in montanis: Hevaeum quoque qui habitabat ad radices Hermon in Terra Maspha.
to the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
4 Egressique sunt omnes cum turmis suis, populus multus nimis sicut arena, quae est in littore maris, equi quoque et currus immensae multitudinis.
So these kings came out with all their armies, a multitude as numerous as the sand on the seashore, along with a great number of horses and chariots.
5 Conveneruntque omnes reges isti in unum ad Aquas Merom, ut pugnarent contra Israel.
All these kings joined forces and encamped at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
6 Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Ne timeas eos: cras enim hac eadem hora ego tradam omnes istos vulnerandos in conspectu Israel: equos eorum subnervabis, et currus igne combures.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for by this time tomorrow I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn up their chariots.”
7 Venitque Iosue, et omnis exercitus cum eo adversus illos ad Aquas Merom subito, et irruerunt super eos,
So by the waters of Merom, Joshua and his whole army came upon them suddenly and attacked them,
8 tradiditque illos Dominus in manus Israel. Qui percusserunt eos, et persecuti sunt usque ad Sidonem magnam, et Aquas Maserephoth, campumque Masphe, qui est ad Orientalem illius partem. Itaque percussit omnes, ut nullas dimitteret ex eis reliquias:
and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who struck them down and pursued them all the way to Greater Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. They struck them down, leaving no survivors.
9 fecitque sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, equos eorum subnervavit, currusque combussit igni.
Joshua treated them as the LORD had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned up their chariots.
10 Reversusque statim cepit Asor: et regem eius percussit gladio. Asor enim antiquitus inter omnia regna haec principatum tenebat.
At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms.
11 Percussitque omnes animas, quae ibidem morabantur: non dimisit in ea ullas reliquias, sed usque ad internecionem universa vastavit, ipsamque urbem peremit incendio.
The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword, devoting them to destruction. Nothing that breathed remained, and Joshua burned down Hazor itself.
12 Et omnes per circuitum civitates, reges quoque earum cepit, percussit atque delevit, sicut praeceperat ei Moyses famulus Domini.
Joshua captured all these kings and their cities and put them to the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Moses the LORD’s servant had commanded.
13 Absque urbibus, quae erant in collibus, et in tumulis sitae, ceteras succendit Israel: unam tantum Asor munitissimam flamma consumpsit.
Yet Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua burned.
14 Omnemque praedam istarum urbium ac iumenta diviserunt sibi filii Israel, cunctis hominibus interfectis.
The Israelites took for themselves all the plunder and livestock of these cities, but they put all the people to the sword until they had completely destroyed them, not sparing anyone who breathed.
15 Sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi servo suo, ita praecepit Moyses Iosue, et ille universa complevit: non praeteriit de universis mandatis, nec unum quidem verbum quod iusserat Dominus Moysi.
As the LORD had commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua. That is what Joshua did, leaving nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
16 Cepit itaque Iosue omnem Terram montanam, et meridianam, terramque Gessen, et planitiem, et Occidentalem plagam, montemque Israel, et campestria eius:
So Joshua took this entire region: the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah, and the mountains of Israel and their foothills,
17 et partem montis, quae ascendit Seir usque Baalgad per planitiem Libani subter montem Hermon: omnes reges eorum cepit, percussit, et occidit.
from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and struck them down, putting them to death.
18 Multo tempore pugnavit Iosue contra reges istos.
Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long period of time.
19 Non fuit civitas quae se non traderet filiis Israel, praeter Hevaeum, qui habitabat in Gabaon: omnes enim bellando cepit.
No city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites living in Gibeon; all others were taken in battle.
20 Domini enim sententia fuerat, ut indurarentur corda eorum, et pugnarent contra Israel, et caderent, et non mererentur ullam clementiam, ac perirent, sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi.
For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts to engage Israel in battle, so that they would be set apart for destruction and would receive no mercy, being annihilated as the LORD had commanded Moses.
21 In illo tempore venit Iosue, et interfecit Enacim de montanis, Hebron, et Dabir, et Anab, et de omni monte Iuda et Israel, urbesque eorum delevit.
At that time Joshua proceeded to eliminate the Anakim from the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction, along with their cities.
22 Non reliquit ullum de stirpe Enacim, in Terra filiorum Israel: absque civitatibus Gaza, et Geth, et Azoto, in quibus solum relicti sunt.
No Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod did any survive.
23 Cepit ergo Iosue omnem Terram, sicut locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, et tradidit eam in possessionem filiis Israel secundum partes et tribus suas. quievitque Terra a praeliis.
So Joshua took the entire land, in keeping with all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to the allotments to their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
