Iosue 11

1 quae cum audisset Iabin rex Asor misit ad Iobab regem Madon et ad regem Someron atque ad regem Acsaph

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 Cheneroth in campestribus quoque et in 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 Chananeumque ab oriente et occidente et Amorreum atque Hettheum ac Ferezeum et Iebuseum in montanis Eveum quoque qui habitabat ad radices Hermon in terra Masphe

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 harena quae est in litore maris equi quoque et currus inmensae 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 Israhel

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 Israhel equos eorum subnervabis et currus igne conbures

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 adversum illos ad aquas Merom subito et inruerunt 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 manu Israhel qui percusserunt eos et persecuti sunt usque ad Sidonem magnam et aquas Maserefoth campumque Masphe qui est ad orientalem illius partem ita 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 fecit sicut praeceperat ei Dominus equos eorum subnervavit currusque conbusit

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 internicionem universa vastavit ipsamque urbem permisit 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 regesque earum cepit percussit atque delevit sicut praeceperat ei Moses 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 Israhel 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 Israhel 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 Mosi servo suo ita praecepit Moses Iosue et ille universa conplevit non praeteriit de universis mandatis ne unum quidem verbum quod iusserat Dominus Mosi

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 Gosen et planitiem et occidentalem plagam montemque Israhel 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 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 Israhel praeter Eveum qui habitabat in Gabaon omnes 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 sententiae fuerat ut indurarentur corda eorum et pugnarent contra Israhel et caderent et non mererentur ullam clementiam ac perirent sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi

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 tempore illo venit Iosue et interfecit Enacim de montanis Hebron et Dabir et Anab et de omni monte Iuda et Israhel 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 Israhel absque civitatibus Gaza et Geth et Azoto in quibus solis 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 Mosen et tradidit eam in possessionem filiis Israhel secundum partes et tribus suas quievitque terra a proeliis

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.
