< Hohua 11 >

1 Na, i te rongonga o Ihapini kingi o Hatoro, ka tono tangata ia ki a Iopapa kingi o Marono, ki te kingi o Himirono, ki te kingi hoki o Akahapa,
Now Jabin, king of Hazor, hearing of these things, sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 Ki nga kingi ano hoki i te raki, ki era i nga maunga, i te mania hoki ki te tonga o Kinerota, i te whenua raorao, a i nga hiwi o Roro ki te hauauru,
And to the kings on the north in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the highlands of Dor on the west,
3 Ki te Kanaani i te rawhiti me te hauauru, ki te Amori, ki te Hiti, ki te Perihi, ki te Iepuhi i te whenua pukepuke, ki te Hiwi hoki i raro o Heremona i te whenua o Mihipa.
And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill-country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
4 Na ka haere mai, me a ratou ope katoa, he tini te tangata, me te onepu i te taha o te moana te tokomaha, me nga hoiho, me nga hariata, tona tini.
And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a great people, in number like the sand on the seaside, with horses and war-carriages in great number.
5 Na ka huihui enei kingi katoa; a ka haere mai ratou, ka noho huihui ki nga wai o Meromo, ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira.
And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel.
6 Na ko te meatanga a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Kei wehi i a ratou: kia penei hoki apopo ka hoatu katoa ratou e ahau, mate rawa, ki a Iharaira: me whakangonge a ratou hoiho, me tahu hoki a ratou hariata ki te ahi.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.
7 Na huakina tatatia ana ratou e Hohua ratou ko te hunga hapai pakanga katoa ki nga wai o Meromo; heoi kokiri ana ratou ki a ratou.
So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them.
8 Na homai ana ratou e Ihowa ki te ringa o Iharaira, a patua iho ratou, a whaia ana e ratou a tae noa ki Hairona nui, ki Mihirepoto Maimi, ki te raorao hoki o Mihipe whaka te rawhiti; a patupatua ana ratou, kahore rawa he morehu i waiho kia toe.
And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them driving them back to great Zidon and to Misrephoth-maim and into the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they put them all to death, no man got away safely.
9 A rite tonu ta Hohua i mea ai ki a ratou ki ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a ia: i whakangongea e ia a ratou hoiho, i tahuna hoki a ratou hariata ki te ahi.
And Joshua did to them as the Lord had said to him; he had the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.
10 A i taua wa ka tahuri a Hohua, a horo ana i a ia a Hatoro, patua iho hoki e ia tona kingi ki te hoari: ko Hatoro hoki te upoko o aua kingitanga katoa i mua.
At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms.
11 Na patua iho e ratou nga mea ora katoa o reira ki te mata o te hoari a poto noa: kahore i mahue tetahi mea whai manawa: i tahuna hoki e ia a Hatoro ki te ahi.
And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor.
12 Na i riro katoa i a Hohua nga pa katoa o era kingi, me nga kingi katoa o reira, a patua iho e ia ki te mata o te hoari a poto noa; i pera ano ia me ta Mohi, me ta te pononga a Ihowa i whakahau ai.
And all the towns of these kings, and all the kings, Joshua took, and put them to the sword: he gave them up to the curse, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had said.
13 Ko nga pa ia i tu i runga i nga pukepuke, kihai ena i tahuna e Iharaira, heoi ano ko Hatoro anake; i tahuna tena e Hohua.
As for the towns made on hills of earth, not one was burned by Israel but Hazor, which was burned by Joshua.
14 Otiia ko nga taonga parakete katoa o aua pa, me nga kararehe, i tangohia e nga tama a Iharaira ma ratou; ko nga tangata katoa ia i patua ki te mata o te hoari a poto noa ratou, kihai i mahue tetahi mea whai manawa.
And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living.
15 Ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki tana pononga ki a Mohi, ko ta Mohi ano tera i whakahau ai ki a Hohua; a koia ta Hohua i mea ai; kihai i kapea e ia tetahi o nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Mohi.
As the Lord had given orders to Moses his servant, so Moses gave orders to Joshua, and so Joshua did; every order which the Lord had given to Moses was done.
16 Na riro ana i a Hohua taua whenua katoa, te whenua pukepuke, me nga wahi katoa o te tonga, me te whenua katoa o Kohena, me te raorao, me te mania, me te whenua pukepuke o Iharaira, me tona raorao;
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, the hill-country of Israel and its lowland;
17 Atu i Maunga Haraka, e anga nei whakarunga ki Heira, a tae noa ki Paarakara i te raorao o Repanona, i raro iho o Maunga Heremona: a, ko o ratou kingi katoa, i mau i a ia, a patua iho, whakamatea iho.
From Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he overcame and put to death.
18 He maha nga ra i whawhai ai a Hohua ki aua kingi katoa.
For a long time Joshua made war on all those kings.
19 Na kahore he pa i hohou rongo ki nga tama a Iharaira, heoi anake ko nga Hiwi i noho i Kipeono: i riro katoa i a ratou i runga i te whawhai.
Not one town made peace with the children of Israel, but only the Hivites of Gibeon: they took them all in war.
20 Na Ihowa hoki i whakapakeke o ratou ngakau, kia turia ai e ratou a Iharaira ki te riri, kia tino whakangaromia ai ratou e ia, kia kore ai hoki ratou e tohungia, engari kia whakangaromia ratou e ia, kia peratia me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.
For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
21 I taua wa ano ka haere atu a Hohua, a huna iho e ia nga Anakimi o nga maunga, o Heperona, o Repiri, o Anapa, o nga maunga katoa o Hura, o nga maunga katoa ano hoki o Iharaira: i tino whakangaromia rawatia ratou e Hohua me o ratou pa.
And Joshua came at that time and put an end to the Anakim in the hill-country, in Hebron, in Debir, in Anab, and in all the hill-country of Judah and Israel: Joshua gave them and their towns to the curse.
22 Kihai tetahi o nga Anakimi i mahue i te whenua o nga tama a Iharaira: toe ake ko etahi anake i Kaha, i Kata, i Aharoro.
Not one of the Anakim was to be seen in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, some were still living.
23 Na ka riro i a Hohua te whenua katoa, ka pera me nga mea katoa i korerotia e Ihowa ki a Mohi; a hoatu ana e Hohua hei kainga tupu mo Iharaira, he mea whakarite ki o ratou wehenga, ki o ratou iwi. Na ka takoto marie te whenua i te whawhai.
So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
