< 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,
And it came to pass, that, when Yabin the king of Chazor heard these things, he sent to Yobab the king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of 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,
And to the kings that were at the north, on the mountains, and in the plains, south of Kinneroth, and in the lowlands, and in the district of Dor on 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 on the east and on the west, and to the Emorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the mountains, and to the Hivites under Chermon 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.
And they went out, they and all their camps with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, and with very many 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.
And all these kings assembled themselves together, and they came and encamped together 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.
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for tomorrow about this time will I give all of them up slain before Israel: their horses shalt thou hamstring and their chariots shalt thou burn with fire.
7 Dia nandeha Josoa sy ny vahoaka rehetra mpanafika teo aminy ka tonga tampoka taminy teo amoron’ ny rano Meroma, dia namely azy.
And Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon 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 smote them, and pursued them unto great Zidon, and unto Missrephoth-mayim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none that escaped.
9 Ary Josoa dia nanao taminy araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah azy: ny soavalin’ ireny notraingoiny ary ny kalesiny nodorany tamin’ ny afo.
And Joshua did unto them as the Lord had said unto him: their horses he hamstringed and their chariots he burnt with fire.
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.
And Joshua at that time turned back, and captured Chazor, and its kings he smote with the sword; for Chazor aforetimes was 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.
And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, and devoted them; there was not left any one having breath; and Chazor he burnt with fire.
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.
And all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, did Joshua capture, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and he devoted them, as Moses the servant of the Lord 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.
But as for the cities that had been left standing in their strength, these did Israel not burn: save Chazor only did Joshua burn.
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.
And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, did the children of Israel take as booty unto themselves; but all the men they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them: they left not any one having breath.
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 Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua: he left 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,
And Joshua took all that land, the mountain, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowlands, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and its lowlands;
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 the bald mountain that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Chermon; and all their kings he captured, and smote them, and slew them.
18 Ela no niadian’ i Josoa tamin’ ireny mpanjaka rehetra ireny.
A long time did Joshua make war with all these kings.
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.
There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gib'on: the whole they took by war.
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 of the Lord it was to harden their heart, that they should come against Israel in battle, in order to destroy them utterly, that they might obtain no favor: but in order that he might exterminate them, 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.
And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the 'Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from 'Anab, and from the whole mountain of Judah, and from the whole mountain of Israel: with their cities did Joshua destroy them utterly.
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.
There was none of the 'Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gazzah, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained some.
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.
And Joshua' took the whole land, all just as the Lord had spoken unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
