Josue 11
1 Nang narinig ito ni Jabin, hari ng Hazor, nagpadala siya ng isang mensahe kay Jobab, hari ng Madon, sa hari ng Shimron, at sa hari ng Acsap.
When King Jabin of Hazor [city] heard [about all those things that had happened], he sent messages to Jobab, the king of Madon [city], to the king of Shimron [city], and to the king of Acshaph [city], [requesting them to send their armies to come and help him fight against the Israelis].
2 Nagpadala rin siya ng mensahe sa mga hari na nasa hilagang maburol na bansa, sa Ilog Jordan lambak sa katimugan ng Cinneret, sa mga kapatagan, at sa maburol ng bansa ng Dor sa kanluran.
He also sent messages to the kings in the northern hilly area and to the kings in the Jordan [River] Valley, south of Galilee [Lake] and in the western hills. He sent a message to the king of Naphoth-Dor [in the west]
3 Nagpadala rin siya ng isang mensahe sa mga Cananaeo sa silangan at kanluran, ang mga anak ni Het, ang mga Perezeo, ang mga Jebuseo sa maburol na bansa, at ang mga Hivita sa Bundok Hermon sa lupain ng Mispa.
and to the kings of the Canaan people-group in the eastern and western parts of the land. He sent messages to the Amor people-group and the Heth people-group and the Periz people-group and the Jebus people-group who lived in the hilly area. He also sent a message to the Hiv people-group who lived below Hermon [Mountain] in the Mizpah area.
4 Lahat ng kanilang hukbo ay dumating kasama nila, isang malaking bilang ng mga sundalo, sa bilang na gaya ng mga buhangin sa dalampasigan. Mayroon silang napakalaking bilang ng mga kabayo at mga karwahe.
So the armies of all those kings gathered together, bringing their horses and chariots. [There seemed to be] [HYP] as many soldiers as grains of sand on the seashore.
5 Nagkita ang lahat ng mga haring ito sa itinakdang oras, at nagkampo sila sa mga tubig ng Merom para makipaglaban sa Israel.
All of those kings [and their armies] gathered together at Merom Pond, [and they set up their tents there]. Then they made plans to fight against the Israelis.
6 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Huwag kang matakot sa kanilang harapan, dahil bukas sa oras na ito ibibigay ko silang lahat sa Israel bilang patay na kalalakihan. Pipilayin mo ang kanilang mga kabayo, at susunugin mo ang kanilang mga karwahe.”
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, because at this time tomorrow I will enable your men to defeat them. Your men must also cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”
7 Dumating si Josue at lahat ng mga lalaking mandirigma. Dumating silang bigla sa mga tubig ng Merom, at nilusob ang mga kaaway.
So Joshua and his army traveled to Merom Pond and attacked their enemies (by surprise/before they were ready to fight).
8 Ibinigay ni Yahweh ang kaaway sa kamay ng Israel, at sinaksak nila sila ng espada at hinabol sila sa Sidon, Misrepot Maim, at sa lambak ng Mispa sa silangan. Sinalakay nila sila gamit ang espada hanggang walang nakaligtas sa kanila ang natira.
Yahweh enabled the Israelis to defeat them. They pursued them to Sidon [city in the far north], and to Misrephoth-Maim [in the northwest], and to Mizpah Valley in the northeast. The Israelis fought them until (they were all dead/there were no survivors).
9 Ginawa ni Josue sa kanila gaya ng sinabi sa kaniya ni Yahweh. Pinilayan niya ang mga kabayo at sinunog ang mga karwahe.
Then Joshua and his men did what Yahweh told them to do: They crippled their enemies’ horses and burned their chariots.
10 Bumalik si Josue sa oras na iyon at binihag ang Hazor. Sinaksak niya ang hari gamit ang espada. (Naging pinuno ang Hazor ng lahat ng mga kahariang ito.)
The king of Hazor had ruled the people of all the kingdoms whose armies had fought against the Israelis. So Joshua’s army went back to Hazor and captured that city and killed their king.
11 Sinalakay nila gamit ang espada ang lahat ng buhay na nilalang ang naroroon, at hiniwalay niya sila para wasakin, kaya walang buhay na nilalang ang natirang buhay. Pagkatapos sinunog niya ang Hazor.
They killed everyone in Hazor; (they did not spare anyone/no one was left alive) [DOU]. Then they burned the city.
12 Binihag ni Josue lahat ng mga lungsod ng mga haring ito. Binihag din niya ang lahat ng kanilang mga hari at nilusob sila gamit ang espada, gaya ng inutos ni Moises na lingkod ni Yahweh.
Joshua’s army captured all of those cities and killed all of their kings. They did that like Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had commanded them to do.
13 Hindi sinunog ng Israel ang mga lungsod na ginawa sa mga tambak, maliban sa Hazor. Si Josue lamang ang nagsunog nito.
Joshua’s men burned Hazor [city], but they did not burn any of the other cities that were built on small hills.
14 Kinuha ng hukbo ng Israel ang lahat ng ninakaw mula sa mga lungsod na ito kasama ng mga alagang hayop para sa kanilang mga sarili. Pinatay nila ang bawat tao gamit ang espada hanggang ang lahat ay namatay. Wala silang itinirang buhay na nilalang.
The Israelis took for themselves the animals that they found in those cities and everything else [that was valuable] [DOU]. But they killed all the people.
15 Gaya ng inutos ni Yahweh sa kianyang lingkod na si Moises, sa parehong paraan, inutos ni Moises kay Josue. At kaya walang iniwan si Josue na hindi tapos sa anumang bagay sa lahat ng inutos na iyon ni Yahweh kay Moises na gawin.
[Many years before], Yahweh had told Moses to do that, and then Moses told Joshua to do it. So Joshua did everything that Yahweh had commanded Moses to do.
16 Kinuha ni Josue ang lahat ng lupaing iyon, ang maburol na bansa, lahat ng Negev, lahat ng lupain ng Goshen, ang mga mababang burol, ang lambak Ilog Jordan, ang maburol na bansa ng Israel, at ang mga mababang lupain.
Joshua’s [army] defeated all the people who were living in that land. They took control over the hilly area and the area in the southern part of Canaan, all the area of Goshen, the western foothills, and the Jordan [River] Valley. They took control over all the mountains in Israel and all the hills near the mountains.
17 Mula sa Bundok Halak na malapit sa Edom, at papuntang hilaga gaya sa layo ng Baal Gad sa lambak malapit sa Lebanon sa ibaba ng Bundok Hermon, binihag niya lahat ng kanilang mga hari at pinatay sila.
They took control of all the land from Halak Mountain [in the south] up to the Seir [hilly area] as far as Baal-Gaal in Lebanon Valley [in the north], at the bottom of Hermon Mountain. They captured all the kings of those areas and killed them.
18 Nakipaglaban si Josue ng isang mahabang panahon sa lahat ng mga hari.
Joshua’s men fought against those groups for many years.
19 Walang isang lungsod ang gumawa ng kapayapaan sa mga hukbo ng Israel maliban sa mga Hivita na naninirahan sa Gabaon. Binihag ng Israel lahat ng natitirang mga lungsod sa digmaan.
There was only one group that made a peace agreement with the Israelis; they were the people of the Hiv people-group who lived in Gibeon. The Israelis captured all the other towns in battles.
20 Dahil si Yahweh ang nagpatigas sa kanilang mga puso para sila ay pumunta at makipaglaban sa Israel, kaya ganap niyang winasak sila, at hindi nagpapakita ng awa sa kanila, gaya sa itinuro niya kay Moises.
Yahweh caused the people in all those other groups to be stubborn [IDM], with the result that they fought against the Israeli army, and the Israelis killed them all. They were not merciful to any of them. That is what Yahweh had commanded Moses to do.
21 Pagkatapos dumating si Josue sa panahong iyon at winasak niya ang Anakim. Ginawa niya ito sa maburol na bansa, sa Hebron, Debir, Anab, at sa lahat ng maburol na bansa ng Juda, at sa lahat ng maburol na bansa ng Israel. Ganap na winasakl ni Josue sila at kanilang mga lungsod.
Joshua’s army also fought the Anak people-group who lived in the hills near Hebron, Debir, and Anah [cities]. They also fought against the people who lived in the hilly area of Judah and Israel, and they killed all of those people and destroyed their cities.
22 Wala sa mga Anakim ang natira sa lupain ng Israel maliban sa Gaza, Gat, at Asdod.
As a result, there were no descendants of Anak who remained alive in Israel. Only a few remained alive in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod [cities].
23 Kaya binihag ni Josue ang buong lupain, gaya ng sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises. Ibinigay ni Josue ito bilang isang pamana ng Israel, itinalaga sa bawat lipi nila. Pagkatapos nagkaroon ng pahinga ang lupain mula sa mga digmaan.
Joshua’s army took control of all the land, just as Yahweh [long ago] had told Moses to do. Yahweh gave the land to the Israelis, because he had promised to give it to them. Then Joshua divided the land among the Israeli tribes. After that, there was (peace/no more battles) in the land.
