< 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,
When Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, 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 who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights 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 Canaanite on the east and on the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under 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.
They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, 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.
All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with 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.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots 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.
So Joshua came suddenly, with all the warriors, against them by the waters of Merom, 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.
The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward. They struck them until they left them no one remaining.
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 did to them as the LORD told him. He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots 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.
Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor used to be the head of all those 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.
They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burnt Hazor 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.
Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD 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 stood on their mounds, Israel burnt none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burnt that.
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 children of Israel took all the plunder of these cities, with the livestock, as plunder for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They didn’t leave any 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 commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD 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 captured all that land, the hill country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same,
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, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.
18 Ela no niadian’ i Josoa tamin’ ireny mpanjaka rehetra ireny.
Joshua made war a long time with all those 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, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all 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 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 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.
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 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 were 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 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 whole land, according to all that the LORD spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
