يَشُوع 11

١ 1 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ يَابِينُ مَلِكُ حَاصُورَ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَى يُوبَابَ مَلِكِ مَادُونَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ شِمْرُونَ، وَإِلَى مَلِكِ أَكْشَافَ،

When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard about what happened, he sent a message to Jobab, king of Madon, to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph,

٢ 2 وَإِلَى ٱلْمُلُوكِ ٱلَّذِينَ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَفِي ٱلْعَرَبَةِ جَنُوبِيَّ كِنَّرُوتَ، وَفِي ٱلسَّهْلِ، وَفِي مُرْتَفَعَاتِ دُورَ غَرْبًا،

and to the kings of the northern hill country, the Jordan Valley south of Kinnereth, the western foothills, and the foothills of Dor to the west,

٣ 3 ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ فِي ٱلشَّرْقِ وَٱلْغَرْبِ، وَٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ تَحْتَ حَرْمُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْمِصْفَاةِ.

to the kings of the Canaanites, both east and west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites living near Mount Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

٤ 4 فَخَرَجُوا هُمْ وَكُلُّ جُيُوشِهِمْ مَعَهُمْ، شَعْبًا غَفِيرًا كَٱلرَّمْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ، بِخَيْلٍ وَمَرْكَبَاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ جِدًّا.

All their armies assembled together, a vast horde as numberless as the sand of the seashore, together with many, many horses and chariots.

٥ 5 فَٱجْتَمَعَ جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ بِمِيعَادٍ وَجَاءُوا وَنَزَلُوا مَعًا عَلَى مِيَاهِ مَيْرُومَ لِكَيْ يُحَارِبُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ.

All these kings joined forces and set up camp beside the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «لَا تَخَفْهُمْ، لِأَنِّي غَدًا فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْوَقْتِ أَدْفَعُهُمْ جَمِيعًا قَتْلَى أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعَرْقِبُ خَيْلَهُمْ، وَتُحْرِقُ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ».

The Lord said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid because of them, for by this time tomorrow I myself will hand them all over to Israel, dead. Cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”

٧ 7 فَجَاءَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ مَعَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ عِنْدَ مِيَاهِ مَيْرُومَ بَغْتَةً وَسَقَطُوا عَلَيْهِمْ.

Joshua and the Israelite army went and attacked them without warning at the waters of Merom.

٨ 8 فَدَفَعَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَضَرَبُوهُمْ وَطَرَدُوهُمْ إِلَى صِيدُونَ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ، وَإِلَى مِسْرَفُوتَ مَايِمَ، وَإِلَى بُقْعَةِ مِصْفَاةَ شَرْقًا. فَضَرَبُوهُمْ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُمْ شَارِدٌ.

The Lord handed them over to the Israelites who cut them down and chased them as far as Greater Sidon and Misrephoth Maim, and east to the valley of Mizpah, killing them until none were left.

٩ 9 فَفَعَلَ يَشُوعُ بِهِمْ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ. عَرْقَبَ خَيْلَهُمْ، وَأَحْرَقَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ.

Afterwards Joshua did what the Lord had ordered: he crippled the horses and burned the chariots.

١٠ 10 ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ وَأَخَذَ حَاصُورَ وَضَرَبَ مَلِكَهَا بِٱلسَّيْفِ، لِأَنَّ حَاصُورَ كَانَتْ قَبْلًا رَأْسَ جَمِيعِ تِلْكَ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ.

Then Joshua turned on Hazor. He captured it and killed its king, for Hazor was at that time the chief of all these kingdoms.

١١ 11 وَضَرَبُوا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. حَرَّمُوهُمْ، وَلَمْ تَبْقَ نَسَمَةٌ، وَأَحْرَقَ حَاصُورَ بِٱلنَّارِ.

Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. He set it apart and completely destroyed it—no one was left alive. Then he burned down Hazor.

١٢ 12 فَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ مُدُنِ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ وَجَمِيعَ مُلُوكِهَا وَضَرَبَهُمْ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. حَرَّمَهُمْ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Joshua captured all these towns and killed their kings. He set them apart and completely destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had ordered.

١٣ 13 غَيْرَ أَنَّ ٱلْمُدُنَ ٱلْقَائِمَةَ عَلَى تِلَالِهَا لَمْ يُحْرِقْهَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، مَا عَدَا حَاصُورَ وَحْدَهَا أَحْرَقَهَا يَشُوعُ.

However, Israel did not burn any of the towns built on mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua did burn.

١٤ 14 وَكُلُّ غَنِيمَةِ تِلْكَ ٱلْمُدُنِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمَ نَهَبَهَا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ. وَأَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ فَضَرَبُوهُمْ جَمِيعًا بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ حَتَّى أَبَادُوهُمْ. لَمْ يُبْقُوا نَسَمَةً.

The Israelites did take for themselves all the plunder and livestock from these towns. But they killed all the inhabitants, destroying them all so none were left alive.

١٥ 15 كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى عَبْدَهُ هَكَذَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى يَشُوعَ، وَهَكَذَا فَعَلَ يَشُوعُ. لَمْ يُهْمِلْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

As the Lord had instructed Moses, so Moses had instructed Joshua. Joshua did what he had been told—he did everything that the Lord had instructed Moses.

١٦ 16 فَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ: ٱلْجَبَلَ، وَكُلَّ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَكُلَّ أَرْضِ جُوشِنَ وَٱلسَّهْلَ وَٱلْعَرَبَةَ وَجَبَلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَهْلَهُ،

So Joshua conquered the whole land—the hill country, the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Jordan Valley, the mountains of Israel, and the eastern foothills.

١٧ 17 مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلْأَقْرَعِ ٱلصَّاعِدِ إِلَى سَعِيرَ إِلَى بَعْلِ جَادَ فِي بُقْعَةِ لُبْنَانَ تَحْتَ جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ. وَأَخَذَ جَمِيعَ مُلُوكِهَا وَضَرَبَهُمْ وَقَتَلَهُمْ.

This covered land from Mount Halak leading to Seir in the south, right up to Baal Gad in the north, below Mount Hermon in the valley of Lebanon. Joshua captured and killed all their kings.

١٨ 18 فَعَمِلَ يَشُوعُ حَرْبًا مَعَ أُولَئِكَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً.

Joshua fought a long war with all these kings.

١٩ 19 لَمْ تَكُنْ مَدِينَةٌ صَالَحَتْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَّا ٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ سُكَّانَ جِبْعُونَ، بَلْ أَخَذُوا ٱلْجَمِيعَ بِٱلْحَرْبِ.

Not a single town made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the rest were conquered in battle.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ يُشَدِّدَ قُلُوبَهُمْ حَتَّى يُلَاقُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ فَيُحَرَّمُوا، فَلَا تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ رَأْفَةٌ، بَلْ يُبَادُونَ كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى.

For the Lord made them stubborn, wanting to fight the Israelites so that they might be set apart and completely destroyed, wiped out without mercy, as the Lord had instructed Moses.

٢١ 21 وَجَاءَ يَشُوعُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ وَقَرَضَ ٱلْعَنَاقِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ، مِنْ حَبْرُونَ وَمِنْ دَبِيرَ وَمِنْ عَنَابَ، وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا، وَمِنْ كُلِّ جَبَلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. حَرَّمَهُمْ يَشُوعُ مَعَ مُدُنِهِمْ.

During this time Joshua also annihilated the descendants of Anak living in the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and all the hill country of Judah and Israel. Joshua set apart and completely destroyed their towns,

٢٢ 22 فَلَمْ يَتَبَقَّ عَنَاقِيُّونَ فِي أَرْضِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَكِنْ بَقَوْا فِي غَزَّةَ وَجَتَّ وَأَشْدُودَ.

and there were no descendants of Anak left in the land of Israel, only some in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.

٢٣ 23 فَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا كَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى، وَأَعْطَاهَا يَشُوعُ مُلْكًا لِإِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ فِرَقِهِمْ وَأَسْبَاطِهِمْ. وَٱسْتَرَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنَ ٱلْحَرْبِ.

So Joshua took the entire land in accordance with what the Lord had instructed Moses, giving it to Israel to own as it was divided up among the tribes. Then the land was at peace.
