Josoa 11
1 Ary rehefa nahare Jabina, mpanjakan’ i Hazora, dia naniraka tany amin’ i Jobaba, mpanjakan’ i Madona, sy ny mpanjakan’ i Simrona sy ny mpanjakan’ i Aksafa,
Now when Jabin king of Hazor heard about these things, he sent word to Jobab king of Madon; to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph;
2 ary ireo mpanjaka tany amin’ ny tany havoana any avaratra koa sy tany amin’ ny tani-hay atsimon’ i Kinerota sy tany amin’ ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka ary tany amin’ ny havoan’ i Dora andrefana,
to the kings of the north in the mountains, in the Arabah south of Chinnereth, in the foothills, and in Naphoth-dor to the west;
3 dia tamin’ ny Kananita any atsinanana sy any andrefana, ary tamin’ ny Amorita sy ny Hetita sy ny Perizita ary ny Jebosita tany amin’ ny tany havoana, ary tamin’ ny Hivita tany am-bodin’ i Hermona, tany amin’ ny tany Mizpa.
to the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
4 Dia nivoaka izy ireo sy ny miaramilany rehetra teo aminy, dia olona maro be toy ny fasika eny amoron-dranomasina ny hamaroany, ary ny soavaliny sy ny kalesiny dia maro indrindra.
So these kings came out with all their armies, a multitude as numerous as the sand on the seashore, along with a great number of horses and chariots.
5 Ary rehefa nivory ireo mpanjaka rehetra ireo, dia nandeha izy hiady tamin’ ny Isiraely ka nitoby teo anilan’ ny rano Meroma.
All these kings joined forces and encamped at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
6 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa: Aza matahotra azy; fa rahampitso toy izao Izaho dia hanolotra azy rehetra ho faty eo anatrehan’ ny Isiraely; traingoy ny soavaliny, ary dory amin’ ny afo ny kalesiny.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for by this time tomorrow I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn up their chariots.”
7 Dia nandeha Josoa sy ny vahoaka rehetra mpanafika teo aminy ka tonga tampoka taminy teo amoron’ ny rano Meroma, dia namely azy.
So by the waters of Merom, Joshua and his whole army came upon them suddenly and attacked them,
8 Ary Jehovah nanolotra azy teo an-tànan’ ny Isiraely izay namely azy ka nanenjika azy hatrany Sidona lehibe sy hatrany Misrefota-mamia ary hatramin’ ny lohasaha Mizpa atsinanana; dia namely azy izy mandra-paha-tsy nisy niangana na dia iray akory aza.
and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who struck them down and pursued them all the way to Greater Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. They struck them down, leaving no survivors.
9 Ary Josoa dia nanao taminy araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah azy: ny soavalin’ ireny notraingoiny ary ny kalesiny nodorany tamin’ ny afo.
Joshua treated them as the LORD had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned up their chariots.
10 Ary tamin’ izany dia niverina Josoa ka nahafaka an’ i Hazora ary namely ny mpanjakany tamin’ ny sabatra, satria Hazora no lohan’ ireny fanjakana rehetra ireny fahiny.
At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms.
11 Ary nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra ny olona rehetra tao ka naringany avokoa: tsy nisy olo-miaina sisa na dia iray akory aza; ary Hazora nodorany tamin’ ny afo.
The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword, devoting them to destruction. Nothing that breathed remained, and Joshua burned down Hazor itself.
12 Ary ny tanàna rehetra izay an’ ireny mpanjaka ireny sy ny mpanjakany rehetra dia azon’ i Josoa ary nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra ka naringany, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah.
Joshua captured all these kings and their cities and put them to the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Moses the LORD’s servant had commanded.
13 Fa ny tanàna rehetra izay teny an-kavoana dia tsy mba nodoran’ ny Isiraely afa-tsy Hazora ihany, izay nodoran’ i Josoa.
Yet Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua burned.
14 Ary ny fananana rehetra tao amin’ ireny tanàna ireny sy ny biby fiompy dia nalain’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho babony; fa ny olona rehetra nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra mandra-pandringany azy; tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza.
The Israelites took for themselves all the plunder and livestock of these cities, but they put all the people to the sword until they had completely destroyed them, not sparing anyone who breathed.
15 Araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy mpanompony no nandidian’ i Mosesy an’ i Josoa; ka dia izany no nataon’ i Josoa: tsy nisy namelany izay rehetra efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
As the LORD had commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua. That is what Joshua did, leaving nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
16 Dia lasan’ i Josoa avokoa izany tany rehetra izany na ny tany havoana, na ny tany atsimo rehetra, na ny tany Gosena rehetra, na ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka, na ny tani-hay na ny tany havoan’ ny Isiraely sy ny tany lemaka aminy koa,
So Joshua took this entire region: the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah, and the mountains of Israel and their foothills,
17 hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra mangadihady, izay fiakarana no any Seïra, ka hatrany Bala-gada eo amin’ ny lohasahan’ i Libanona am-bodin’ ny tendrombohitra Hermona; ary ny mpanjakany rehetra nosamboriny ka novonoiny ho faty.
from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and struck them down, putting them to death.
18 Ela no niadian’ i Josoa tamin’ ireny mpanjaka rehetra ireny.
Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long period of time.
19 Tsy nisy tanàna izay nanao fihavanana tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, afa-tsy ny Hivita izay nonina tany Gibeona ihany; fa azony tamin’ ny ady avokoa izy rehetra.
No city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites living in Gibeon; all others were taken in battle.
20 Fa avy tamin’ i Jehovah no nanamafian’ ireo ny fony hiady amin’ ny Isiraely, mba hanaovany azy ho zavatra voaozona, ka tsy nisy famindram-po, handringanana azy araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts to engage Israel in battle, so that they would be set apart for destruction and would receive no mercy, being annihilated as the LORD had commanded Moses.
21 Dia nandeha tamin’ izany andro izany Josoa ka namongotra ny Anakita tany amin’ ny tany havoana, dia tany Hebrona sy Debira sy Anaba, ary tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Joda rehetra, ary tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ Isiraely rehetra: naringan’ i Josoa avokoa izy sy ny tanànany.
At that time Joshua proceeded to eliminate the Anakim from the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction, along with their cities.
22 Tsy nisy sisa tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Anakita; fa tany Gaza sy Gata ary Asdoda ihany no mbola nisy sisa.
No Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod did any survive.
23 Dia lasan’ i Josoa avokoa ny tany rehetra, araka izay rehetra nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy; ary nomen’ i Josoa ho lovan’ ny Isiraely izany, araka ny fizaran’ ny fireneny. Dia nitsahatra ny ady ka nandry ny tany.
So Joshua took the entire land, in keeping with all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to the allotments to their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
