Iosue 11
1 Quae cum audisset Iabin rex Asor, misit ad Iobab regem Madon, et ad regem Semeron, atque ad regem Achsaph:
And whe Iabin King of Hazor had heard this, then he sent to Iobab 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 vnto the Kings that were by ye North in the mountaines and plaines toward the Southside of Cinneroth, and in the valleys, and in the borders of Dor Westward,
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 vnto the Canaanites, both by East, and by West, and vnto the Amorites, and Hittites, and Perizzites, and Iebusites in the mountaines, and vnto the Hiuites vnder Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
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 came out and all their hostes with them, many people as the sande that is on the sea shore for multitude, with horses and charets exceeding many.
5 Conveneruntque omnes reges isti in unum ad Aquas Merom, ut pugnarent contra Israel.
So all these Kings met together, and came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, for 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 sayd vnto Ioshua, Be not afrayd for them: for to morowe about this time will I deliuer them all slaine before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burne their charets with fire.
7 Venitque Iosue, et omnis exercitus cum eo adversus illos ad Aquas Merom subito, et irruerunt super eos,
Then came Ioshua and al the men of warre with him against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell vpon 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 gaue them into the hand of Israel: and they smote them, and chased them vnto great Zidon, and vnto Misrephothmaim, and vnto the valley of Mizpeh Eastward, and smote them vntill they had none remaining of them.
9 fecitque sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, equos eorum subnervavit, currusque combussit igni.
And Ioshua did vnto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their charets with fire.
10 Reversusque statim cepit Asor: et regem eius percussit gladio. Asor enim antiquitus inter omnia regna haec principatum tenebat.
At that time also Ioshua turned backe, and tooke Hazor, and smote the King thereof with the sword: for Hazor before time was the head of all those kingdomes.
11 Percussitque omnes animas, quae ibidem morabantur: non dimisit in ea ullas reliquias, sed usque ad internecionem universa vastavit, ipsamque urbem peremit incendio.
Moreouer, they smote all the persons that were therein with the edge of the sworde, vtterly destroying all, leauing none aliue, and hee burnt Hazor with fire.
12 Et omnes per circuitum civitates, reges quoque earum cepit, percussit atque delevit, sicut praeceperat ei Moyses famulus Domini.
So all ye cities of those Kings, and all the kings of them did Ioshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and vtterly destroyed them, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded.
13 Absque urbibus, quae erant in collibus, et in tumulis sitae, ceteras succendit Israel: unam tantum Asor munitissimam flamma consumpsit.
But Israel burnt none of the cities that stoode still in their strength, saue Hazor onely, that Ioshua burnt.
14 Omnemque praedam istarum urbium ac iumenta diviserunt sibi filii Israel, cunctis hominibus interfectis.
And all the spoyle of these cities and the cattel the children of Israel tooke for their praye, but they smote euery man with the edge of the sword vntill they had destroyed them, not leauing one aliue.
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 Moses his seruant, so did Moses commande Ioshua, and so did Ioshua: he left nothing vndone 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 Ioshua tooke all this land of the mountaines, and all the South, and all the lande of Goshen, and the lowe countrey, and the plaine, and the mountaine of Israel, and the lowe countrey of the same,
17 et partem montis, quae ascendit Seir usque Baalgad per planitiem Libani subter montem Hermon: omnes reges eorum cepit, percussit, et occidit.
From the mount Halak, that goeth vp to Seir, euen vnto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon, vnder mount Hermon: and all their Kings he tooke, and smote them, and slewe them.
18 Multo tempore pugnavit Iosue contra reges istos.
Ioshua made warre long time with all those Kings,
19 Non fuit civitas quae se non traderet filiis Israel, praeter Hevaeum, qui habitabat in Gabaon: omnes enim bellando cepit.
Neither was there any citie that made peace with the children of Israel, saue those Hiuites that inhabited Gibeon: all other they tooke by battell.
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 came of the Lord, to harden their heartes that they shoulde come against Israel in battell to the intent that they shoulde destroye them vtterly, and shewe them no mercie, but that they shoulde bring them to nought: 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.
And that same season came Ioshua, and destroyed the Anakims out of the mountaines: as out of Hebron, out of Debir, out of Anab, and out of all the mountaines of Iudah, and out of all the mountaines of Israel: Ioshua destroyed them vtterly 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.
There was no Anakim left in the lande of the children of Israel: onely in Azzah, in Gath, and in Ashdod were they left.
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 Ioshua tooke the whole land, according to all that the Lord had saide vnto Moses: and Ioshua gaue it for an inheritance vnto Israel according to their portion through their tribes: then the land was at rest without warre.
