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 it comes to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor hears, that he sends to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
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 [are] on the north in the hill-country, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the low country, and in the elevations of Dor, on the west,
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.
[to] the Canaanite on the east, and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh—
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 go out, they and all their camps with them, a people numerous, as the sand which [is] on the seashore for multitude, and [with] very many horse and charioteer;
5 Wɔbɔɔ wɔn atenae wɔ asu a ɛbɛn Merom ho sɛ wɔrebɛko atia Israel.
and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight 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 YHWH says to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of their presence, for about this time tomorrow I am giving all of them slain before Israel; hamstring 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 comes, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom, and they suddenly fall on them;
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 YHWH gives them into the hand of Israel, and they strike them and pursue them to the great Sidon, and to Misrephoth-Maim, and to the Valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they strike them, until he has not left a remnant to them;
9 Ɛnna Yosua bubuu apɔnkɔ no anan, san hyew nteaseɛnam no sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no.
and Joshua does to them as YHWH commanded to him; he has hamstrung 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 turns back at that time, and captures Hazor, and he has struck its king by the sword; for Hazor [was] formerly head of all 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 strike every person who [is] in it by the mouth of the sword; he has devoted—he has not left anyone breathing, and he has burned Hazor with fire;
12 Yosua kunkum ahemfo a wɔaka no nyinaa ne wɔn manfo sɛee wɔn pasaa sɛnea Mose, Awurade somfo, hyɛe no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
and all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, Joshua has captured, and he strikes them by the mouth of the sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded.
13 Mmom, Yosua anhyew kuropɔn biara a esi siw so gye Hasor.
Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel has not burned them—except Joshua has burned Hazor, only;
14 Na Israelfo no faa asade ne anantwi a wɔwɔ nkurow mmubui no mu nanso wokum emu nnipa no nyinaa.
and all the spoil of these cities, and the livestock, the sons of Israel have spoiled for themselves; only, they have struck every man by the mouth of the sword, until their destroying them; they have not left anyone 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 YHWH commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua has done; he has not turned aside a thing of all that YHWH commanded Moses.
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 takes all this land: the hill-country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, even the hill-country of Israel and its low lands,
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 Mount of Halak, which is going up [to] Seir, and to Ba‘al-Gad, in the Valley of Lebanon, under Mount Hermon; and he has captured all their kings, and he strikes them, and puts them to death.
18 wɔ mmere tenten akokoakoko mu.
Joshua has made war with all these kings [for] many days;
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.
there has not been a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivite, inhabitants of Gibeon; they have taken the whole in battle;
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 has been from YHWH to strengthen their heart, to meet in battle with Israel, in order to devote them, so that they have no grace, but in order to destroy them, as YHWH commanded 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 comes at that time, and cuts 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 has devoted them with their cities.
22 Wɔn mu ɔbaako koraa anka wɔ Israel asase so, mmom, wɔn mu bi kaa Gasa, Gat ne Asdod.
There has not been Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, were they left.
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 takes the whole of the land, according to all that YHWH has spoken to Moses, and Joshua gives it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes; and the land has rest from war.
