Yosua 11
1 Bere a Hasorhene Yabin tee asɛm a asi no, ɔtoo ahemfo a wodidi so yi nkra denneennen: Madonhene Yobab, Simronhene ne Aksafhene;
And when Jabis the king of Asor heard, he sent to Jobab king of Maron, and to the king of Symoon, and to the king of Aziph,
2 ahemfo a wɔwɔ atifi fam mmepɔw so, ahemfo a wɔwɔ Yordan Bon a ɛda Galilea anafo fam; ahemfo a wɔwɔ atɔe fam nkoko so; ahemfo a wɔwɔ Nafɔt Dor atɔe fam;
and to the kings who were by the great Sidon, to the hill country and to Araba opposite Keneroth, and to the plain, and to Phenaeddor,
3 Kanaan ahemfo a wɔwɔ apuei ne atɔe; Amorifo ahemfo ne Hetifo ahemfo ne Perisifo ahemfo ne ahemfo a wɔwɔ Yebusifo mmepɔw asase so; ne Hewifo a wɔwɔ nkurow a ɛwɔ Hermon bepɔw ase wɔ Mispa asase so.
and to the Chananites on the coast eastward, and to the Amorites on the coast, and the Chettites, and the Pherezites, and the Jebusites in the mountain, and the Evites, and those dwelling under [mount] Aermon in the land Massyma.
4 Saa ahemfo yi nyinaa gyee pene, boaboaa wɔn nsraadɔm ano sɛ wɔbɛka abɔ mu ako atia Israel. Wɔn nsraadɔm no nyinaa apɔnkɔ dodow ne nteaseɛnam yɛɛ asase no so ma te sɛ mpoano nwea.
And they and their kings with them went forth, as the sand of the sea in multitude, and horses, and very many chariots.
5 Wɔbɔɔ wɔn atenae wɔ asu a ɛbɛn Merom ho sɛ wɔrebɛko atia Israel.
And all the kings assembled in person, and came to the same place, and encamped at the waters of Maron to war with Israel.
6 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Nsuro wɔn. Ɔkyena sesɛɛ bere mu na wɔn nyinaa atotɔ. Bubu wɔn apɔnkɔ no nan na hyew wɔn nteaseɛnam no.”
And the Lord said to Joshua, Be not afraid of them, for to-morrow [at] this time I will put them to flight before Israel: you shall hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire
7 Na Yosua ne nʼakofo kɔɔ Merom asu no ho kɔtow hyɛɛ wɔn so mpofirim.
And Joshua and all the men of war came upon them at the water of Maron suddenly; and they attacked them in the hill country.
8 Na Awurade ma wodii wɔn atamfo no so nkonim. Israelfo no taa wɔn ara kosii Sidon Kɛse ne Misrefot-Maim ho ne Mispa Bon no mu wɔ apuei fam, kosii sɛ atamfo no akofo baako mpo anka.
And the Lord delivered them into the power of Israel; and they struck them and pursued them to great Sidon, and to Maseron, and to the plains of Massoch eastward; and they destroyed them till there was not one of them left that survived.
9 Ɛnna Yosua bubuu apɔnkɔ no anan, san hyew nteaseɛnam no sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no.
And Joshua did to them, as the Lord commanded him: he houghed their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
10 Yosua san nʼakyi begyee Hasor kurow no fae, kum ɛhɔ hene. (Na anka Hasor yɛ saa ahemman nkabom no nyinaa kuropɔn.)
And Joshua returned at that time, and took Asor and her king; now Asor in former time was the chief of these kingdoms.
11 Israelfo no sɛee biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ kuropɔn no so. Wɔannya ɔkra fua mpo. Na Yosua too Hasor kuropɔn no mu gya.
And they killed with the sword all that breathed in it, and utterly destroyed them all, and there was no living thing left in it; and they burnt Asor with fire.
12 Yosua kunkum ahemfo a wɔaka no nyinaa ne wɔn manfo sɛee wɔn pasaa sɛnea Mose, Awurade somfo, hyɛe no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
And Joshua took all the cities of the kingdoms, and their kings, and killed them with the edge of the sword; and utterly killed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.
13 Mmom, Yosua anhyew kuropɔn biara a esi siw so gye Hasor.
But all the walled cities Israel burnt not; but Israel burnt Asor only.
14 Na Israelfo no faa asade ne anantwi a wɔwɔ nkurow mmubui no mu nanso wokum emu nnipa no nyinaa.
And the children of Israel took all its spoils to themselves; and they killed all the men with the edge of the sword, until he destroyed them; they left not one of them breathing.
15 Sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ ne somfo Mose no, saa ara na Mose nso hyɛɛ Yosua. Na Yosua nso yɛɛ sɛnea wɔka kyerɛɛ no no, dii nea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no nyinaa so.
As the Lord commanded his servant Moses, even so Moses commanded Joshua; and so Joshua did, he transgressed no precept of all that Moses commanded him.
16 Enti Yosua ko gyee ɔmantam no nyinaa a ɛyɛ mmepɔw man, Negeb, Gosen asase, atɔe fam nkoko, Yordan Bon, Israel mmepɔw ne nsase tataw fae.
And Joshua took all the hill country, and all the land of Nageb, and all the land of Gosom, and the plain country, and that toward the west, and the mountain of Israel and the low country by the mountain;
17 Enti afei, Israel nsase bɛyɛɛ nea efi Halak bepɔw a ekosi Seir wɔ atifi fam toa so kɔ Baal-Gad a ɛwɔ Bepɔw Hermon ase wɔ Lebanon bon mu. Yosua kunkum nsase no so ahemfo nyinaa,
from the mountain of Chelcha, and that which goes up to Seir, and as far as Balagad, and the plains of Libanus, under mount Aermon; and he took all their kings, and destroyed, and killed them.
18 wɔ mmere tenten akokoakoko mu.
And for many days Joshua waged war with these kings.
19 Kurow biara nni ɔmantam yi mu a ɔne Israelfo yɛɛ asomdwoe apam gye sɛ Hewifo a wɔte Gibeon no. Wodii wɔn a aka no nyinaa so nkonim.
And there was no city which Israel took not; they took all in war.
20 Awurade pirim wɔn koma ma wɔko tiaa Israelfo wɔ bere a anka ɛsɛ sɛ wɔ ne wɔn yɛ asomdwoe nhyehyɛe. Enti wɔsɛee wɔn pasaa a ahummɔbɔ biara nni mu sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts to go forth to war against Israel, that they might be utterly destroyed, that mercy should not be granted to them, but that they should be utterly destroyed, as the Lord said to Moses.
21 Saa bere no mu, Yosua tɔree Anak asefo a na wɔte bepɔw nkurow Hebron, Debir, Anab ne bepɔw man Yuda ne Israel nyinaa ase. Okum wɔn nyinaa na ɔsɛee wɔn nkurow no pasaa.
And Joshua came at that time, and utterly destroyed the Enakim out of the hill country, from Chebron and from Dabir, and from Anaboth, and from all the race of Israel, and from all the mountain of Juda with their cities; and Joshua utterly destroyed them.
22 Wɔn mu ɔbaako koraa anka wɔ Israel asase so, mmom, wɔn mu bi kaa Gasa, Gat ne Asdod.
There was not [any one] left of the Enakim by the children of Israel, only there was left of them in Gaza, and in Gath, and in Aseldo.
23 Enti Yosua faa asase no nyinaa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no. Ɔde maa Israelfo sɛ wɔn agyapade sononko kyekyɛɛ mu maa mmusuakuw no. Enti awiei no asase no so dwoe.
And Joshua took all the land, as the Lord commanded Moses; and Joshua gave them for an inheritance to Israel by division according to their tribes; and the land ceased from war.
