Iosue 11

1 Quae cum audisset Iabin rex Asor, misit ad Iobab regem Madon, et ad regem Semeron, atque ad regem Achsaph:

Now Jabin, king of Hazor, hearing of these things, sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

2 ad reges quoque Aquilonis, qui habitabant in montanis et in planitie contra meridiem Ceneroth, in campestribus quoque et regionibus Dor iuxta mare:

And to the kings on the north in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the highlands of Dor on 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.

And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill-country, and the Hivites under 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.

And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a great people, in number like the sand on the seaside, with horses and war-carriages in great number.

5 Conveneruntque omnes reges isti in unum ad Aquas Merom, ut pugnarent contra Israel.

And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on 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.

And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

7 Venitque Iosue, et omnis exercitus cum eo adversus illos ad Aquas Merom subito, et irruerunt super eos,

So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on 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 gave them up into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them driving them back to great Zidon and to Misrephoth-maim and into the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they put them all to death, no man got away safely.

9 fecitque sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, equos eorum subnervavit, currusque combussit igni.

And Joshua did to them as the Lord had said to him; he had the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

10 Reversusque statim cepit Asor: et regem eius percussit gladio. Asor enim antiquitus inter omnia regna haec principatum tenebat.

At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms.

11 Percussitque omnes animas, quae ibidem morabantur: non dimisit in ea ullas reliquias, sed usque ad internecionem universa vastavit, ipsamque urbem peremit incendio.

And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor.

12 Et omnes per circuitum civitates, reges quoque earum cepit, percussit atque delevit, sicut praeceperat ei Moyses famulus Domini.

And all the towns of these kings, and all the kings, Joshua took, and put them to the sword: he gave them up to the curse, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had said.

13 Absque urbibus, quae erant in collibus, et in tumulis sitae, ceteras succendit Israel: unam tantum Asor munitissimam flamma consumpsit.

As for the towns made on hills of earth, not one was burned by Israel but Hazor, which was burned by Joshua.

14 Omnemque praedam istarum urbium ac iumenta diviserunt sibi filii Israel, cunctis hominibus interfectis.

And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living.

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 given orders to Moses his servant, so Moses gave orders to Joshua, and so Joshua did; every order which the Lord had given to Moses was done.

16 Cepit itaque Iosue omnem Terram montanam, et meridianam, terramque Gessen, et planitiem, et Occidentalem plagam, montemque Israel, et campestria eius:

So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland and the Arabah, the hill-country of Israel and its lowland;

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 goes up to Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he overcame and put to death.

18 Multo tempore pugnavit Iosue contra reges istos.

For a long time Joshua made war on all those kings.

19 Non fuit civitas quae se non traderet filiis Israel, praeter Hevaeum, qui habitabat in Gabaon: omnes enim bellando cepit.

Not one town made peace with the children of Israel, but only the Hivites of Gibeon: they took them all in war.

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 the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to 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.

And Joshua came at that time and put an end to the Anakim in the hill-country, in Hebron, in Debir, in Anab, and in all the hill-country of Judah and Israel: Joshua gave them and their towns to the curse.

22 Non reliquit ullum de stirpe Enacim, in Terra filiorum Israel: absque civitatibus Gaza, et Geth, et Azoto, in quibus solum relicti sunt.

Not one of the Anakim was to be seen in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, some were still living.

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 all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
