Josué 11

1 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 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 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 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 All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

6 Yahweh 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 So Joshua came suddenly, with all the warriors, against them by the waters of Merom, and attacked them. 8 Yahweh 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 Joshua did to them as Yahweh told him. He hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire. 10 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 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 burned Hazor with fire. 12 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 Yahweh commanded. 13 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burned that. 14 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 As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses. 16 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 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 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. 19 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 For it was of Yahweh to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Yahweh commanded Moses. 21 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 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 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh 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.

Ka Hinganga ngā Kīngi o te Raki

1 Nā, i te rongonga o Iapini kīngi o Hatoro, ka tono tāngata ia ki a Iopapa kīngi o Marono, ki te kīngi o Himirono, ki te kīngi hoki o Akahapa, 2 ki ngā kīngi anō hoki i te raki, ki ērā i ngā maunga, i te mānia hoki ki te tonga o Kinerota, i te whenua raorao, ā, i ngā Hiwi o Roro ki te hauāuru, 3 ki te Kanaani i te rāwhiti me te hauāuru, 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. 4 Nā, ka haere mai, me ā rātou ope katoa, he tini te tangata, me te onepū i te taha o te moana te tokomaha, me ngā hōiho, me ngā hāriata, tōna tini. 5 Nā, ka huihui ēnei kīngi katoa; ā, ka haere mai rātou, ka noho huihui ki ngā wai o Meromo, ki te whawhai ki a Īharaira.

6 Nā, ko te meatanga a Ihowā ki a Hohua, "Kei wehi i a rātou; kia pēnei hoki āpōpō ka hoatu katoa rātou e ahau, mate rawa, ki a Īharaira; me whakangonge ō rātou hōiho, me tahu hoki ō rātou hāriata ki te ahi."

7 Nā, huakina tatatia ana rātou e Hohua rātou ko te hunga hāpai pakanga katoa ki ngā wai o Meromo; heoi kōkiri ana rātou ki a rātou. 8 Nā, hōmai ana rātou e Ihowā ki te ringa o Īharaira, ā, patua iho rātou, ā, whāia ana e rātou ā tae noa ki Hairona nui, ki Mihirepoto Maimi, ki te raorao hoki o Mihipe whaka te rāwhiti; ā, patupatua ana rātou, kāhore rawa he mōrehu i waiho kia toe. 9 Ā, rite tonu tā Hohua i mea ai ki a rātou ki tā Ihowā i kōrero ai ki a ia; i whakangongea e ia ō rātou hōiho, i tahuna hoki ō rātou hāriata ki te ahi.

10 Ā, i taua wā ka tahuri a Hohua, ā, horo ana i a ia a Hatoro, patua iho hoki e ia tōna kīngi ki te hoari. (Ko Hatoro hoki te upoko o aua kīngitanga katoa i mua.) 11 Nā, patua iho e rātou ngā mea ora katoa o reira ki te mata o te hoari ā poto noa; kāhore i mahue tētahi mea whai manawa; i tahuna hoki e ia a Hatoro ki te ahi.

12 Nā, i riro katoa i a Hohua ngā pā katoa o ērā kīngi, me ngā kīngi katoa o reira, ā, patua iho e ia ki te mata o te hoari ā poto noa; i pērā anō ia me tā Mohi, me tā te pononga a Ihowā i whakahau ai. 13 Ko ngā pā ia i tū i runga i ngā pukepuke, kīhai ēnā i tahuna e Īharaira, heoi anō ko Hatoro anake; i tahuna tēnā e Hohua. 14 Otiia, ko ngā taonga parakete katoa o aua pā, me ngā kararehe, i tangohia e ngā tama a Īharaira mā rātou; ko ngā tāngata katoa ia i patua ki te mata o te hoari ā poto noa rātou, kīhai i mahue tētahi mea whai manawa. 15 Ko tā Ihowā i whakahau ai ki tāna pononga ki a Mohi, ko tā Mohi anō tērā i whakahau ai ki a Hohua; ā, koia tā Hohua i mea ai; kīhai i kapea e ia tētahi o ngā mea katoa i whakahaua e Ihowā ki a Mohi.

He Whakarāpotonga o ngā Raupatu a Hohua

16 Nā, riro ana i a Hohua taua whenua katoa, te whenua pukepuke, me ngā wāhi katoa o te tonga, me te whenua katoa o Kohena, me te raorao, me te mānia, me te whenua pukepuke o Īharaira, me tōna raorao, 17 atu i Maunga Haraka, e anga nei whakarunga ki Heira, ā tae noa ki Paara-Kara i te raorao o Repanōna, i raro iho o Maunga Heremona; ā, ko ō rātou kīngi katoa, i mau i a ia, ā, patua iho, whakamatea iho. 18 He maha ngā rā i whawhai ai a Hohua ki aua kīngi katoa. 19 Nā, kāhore he pā i hohou rongo ki ngā tama a Īharaira, heoi anake ko ngā Hiwi i noho i Kipeono; i riro katoa i a rātou i runga i te whawhai. 20 Nā Ihowā hoki i whakapakeke ō rātou ngākau, kia tūria ai e rātou a Īharaira ki te riri, kia tino whakangaromia ai rātou e ia, kia kore ai hoki rātou e tohungia, engari kia whakangaromia rātou e ia, kia pērātia me tā Ihowā i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

21 I taua wā anō ka haere atu a Hohua, ā, hunā iho e ia ngā Anakimi o ngā maunga, o Heperona, o Repiri, o Ānapa, o ngā maunga katoa o Hūrā, o ngā maunga katoa anō hoki o Īharaira; i tino whakangaromia rawatia rātou e Hohua me ō rātou pā. 22 Kīhai tētahi o ngā Anakimi i mahue i te whenua o ngā tama a Īharaira; toe ake ko ētahi anake i Kaha, i Kāta, i Aharoro.

23 Nā, ka riro i a Hohua te whenua katoa, ka pērā me, ngā mea katoa i kōrerotia e Ihowā ki a Mohi; ā, hoatu ana e Hohua hei kāinga tupu mō Īharaira, he mea whakarite ki ō rātou wehenga, ki ō rātou iwi.

Nā, ka takoto mārie te whenua i te whawhai.
