< 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 heard thereof, 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, in the hill country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights 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.
to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
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 all these kings met together; and they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight with 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 the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for tomorrow at 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 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 the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they 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 the LORD 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 Jeshua turned back at that time, 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 none left that breathed: 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 he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
13 Okuggyako Kazoli, ebibuga ebirala byonna ebyali bizimbiddwa ku bifunvu, Yoswa teyabyokya.
But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, 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 that breathed.
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 the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD 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 hill country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill country of Israel, and the lowland 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.
from 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 put them to death.
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: they took all 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 the LORD to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD 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 Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them 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 Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
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 the LORD spake unto Moses: and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
