Yoswa 11
1 Awo Yabini kabaka w’e Kazoli bwe yakimanya, n’atumya Yobabu kabaka w’e Madoni n’eri kabaka w’e Simuloni n’eri kabaka w’e Akusafu,
And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 ne bakabaka abaali mu bukiikakkono mu nsi ey’ensozi, ne mu Alaba mu bukiikaddyo e Kinnerosi, ne mu nsenyi, ne mu nsozi ez’e Doli ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba.
And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,
3 N’atumya Abakanani ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba, n’Abamoli, n’Abakiiti n’Abaperezi, n’Abayebusi mu nsi ey’ensozi, n’Abakiivi wansi wa Kerumooni mu nsi ey’e Mizupa.
And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
4 Ne bajja, n’amaggye gaabwe gonna, nga bangi nnyo nga bali ng’omusenyu gw’ennyanja, era ne bajja n’embalaasi nnyingi nnyo n’amagaali mangi nnyo.
And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
5 Awo bakabaka bano bonna ne beegatta ne bakuba olusiisira olwa awamu ku nzizi ez’e Meromu, balwanyise Isirayiri.
And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
6 Awo Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Tobatya kubanga obudde nga bwe buti enkya nzija kubawaayo bonna eri Isirayiri, bafumitibwe, battibwe, embalaasi muziteme enteega n’amagaali gookebwe.”
And YHWH said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
7 Awo Yoswa n’abalwanyi be bonna ne balumba abalabe ku nzizi ez’e Meromu.
So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
8 Mukama n’abawaayo mu mukono gwa Isirayiri ne babawangula ne babagobera ddala, okubatuusa mu Sidoni ekinene ne ku Misurefosumayimu, ne ku kiwonvu kye Mizupa ebuvanjuba, ne babazikiririza ddala obutalekaawo n’omu.
And YHWH delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
9 Yoswa n’abakolako nga Mukama bwe yamulagira, embalaasi zaabwe nazitema enteega, n’amagaali gaabwe n’agookya omuliro.
And Joshua did unto them as YHWH bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 Mu kiseera ekyo Yoswa n’addako emabega n’awamba Kazoli, kabaka waakyo n’amutta n’ekitala kubanga emabegako Kazoli kye kyali ekitebe ky’obwakabaka obwo bwonna.
And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
11 Era ne batta buli muntu yenna eyakirimu ne watasigalawo n’omu ne Kazoli n’akyokya omuliro.
And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
12 Yoswa n’awamba ebibuga ebyo byonna ne bakabaka baabyo, n’abatta n’ebitala n’abazikiririza ddala nga Musa omuweereza wa Mukama bwe yalagira.
And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of YHWH commanded.
13 Okuggyako Kazoli, ebibuga ebirala byonna ebyali bizimbiddwa ku bifunvu, Yoswa teyabyokya.
But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
14 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne beetwalira omunyago gwonna ogw’ebibuga bino n’ente, era ne batta buli muntu yenna ne babazikiriza awatali kusigala n’omu assa omukka.
And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
15 Nga Mukama bwe yalagira omuddu we Musa, bw’atyo Musa bwe yalagira Yoswa era ne Yoswa bwe yakola; talina kye yaleka takoze ku byonna Mukama bye yalagira Musa.
As YHWH commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that YHWH commanded Moses.
16 Bw’atyo Yoswa n’awangula ensi yonna, n’ensi ey’ensozi n’ey’obugwanjuba yonna, n’ekitundu kya Goseni kyonna, ensi ey’ensenyi ne Alaba, n’ensi yaayo yonna ey’ensenyi.
So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
17 Okuva ku lusozi Kalaki, okulinnya okutuuka e Seyiri, n’okutuuka ku Baalugadi mu kiwonvu kya Lebanooni ekiri wansi w’olusozi Kerumooni ne bakabaka baayo bonna n’abawamba, n’abafumita, n’abatta.
Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
18 Yoswa n’alumba n’alwana ne bakabaka abo bonna okumala ebbanga.
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
19 Tewali kibuga kyakola ndagaano ya mirembe n’abaana ba Isirayiri okuggyako Abakiivi abaali mu Gibyoni; byonna baabilwanyisa ne babiwangula,
There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.
20 kubanga Mukama yennyini ye yakakanyaza emitima gyabwe balwane ne Isirayiri, alyoke abazikiririze ddala, abamalirewo ddala awatali kubakwatirwa kisa, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
For it was of YHWH to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as YHWH commanded Moses.
21 Mu kiseera ekyo Yoswa n’agenda n’azikiriza n’amalawo Abanaki mu nsi ey’ensozi, mu Kebbulooni, ne mu Debiri, ne mu Anabu, ne mu nsi yonna ey’ensozi eya Yuda, ne mu nsi yonna ey’ensozi eya Isirayiri. Yoswa n’abazikiririza ddala, bonna n’ebibuga byabwe.
And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
22 Tewali Banaki baasigalawo mu nsi y’abaana ba Isirayiri, okuggyako mu Gaza, ne mu Gaasi, ne mu Asudodi, mwe mwasigalako abamu.
There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
23 Yoswa bw’atyo bwe yatwala ensi yonna nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa, n’agiwa abaana ba Isirayiri okuba omugabo nga bwe yayawulibwa mu bika byabwe. Olwo ensi n’ewummula entalo.
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that YHWH said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
