< Joshua 11 >

1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻa Sapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Hasoa ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fekau ia kia Sopapi ko e tuʻi ʻo Matoni, pea ki he tuʻi ʻo Similoni, pea ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAkisafi,
2 And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,
Pea ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻoku ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi he ngaahi toafa ʻo Kineloti, pea ʻi he teleʻa, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻo Toa ki he potu hihifo,
3 And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
[Pea ki he ]kakai Kēnani ʻi he potu hahake, pea ki lulunga, pea ki he kakai ʻAmoli, mo e kakai Heti, mo e kakai Pelesi, mo e kakai Sepusi ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ki he kakai Hevi ʻi lalo ʻi Heamoni ʻi he fonua ko Misipa.
4 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu kituaʻā, ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi tau kotoa pē, ko e fuʻu kakai lahi, ʻo hangē hono tokolahi ko e ʻoneʻone ʻoku ʻi he matātahi, mo e ngaahi hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote lahi ʻaupito.
5 And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
Pea ʻi he fakakātoa ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ni, naʻa nau haʻu ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he ngaahi vai ʻo Melomi, kenau tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.
6 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: in order to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: you shall cut the hamstrings of their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē koeʻuhi ko kinautolu: he ko e feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi te u tuku ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli: te ke tutuʻu ʻae uoua [ʻoe vaʻe ]ʻo ʻenau fanga hoosi, pea tutu ʻenau ngaahi saliote ʻi he afi.”
7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu fakafokifā ai ʻa Siosiua mo e kakai tau kotoa pē mo ia, kiate kinautolu ki he ngaahi vai ʻo Melomi; pea naʻa nau ʻoho atu kiate kinautolu.
8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who stroke them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they stroke them, until they left them none remaining.
Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli, pea nau taaʻi ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe tuli ʻakinautolu ki Saitoni lahi, pea ki Misilefotimeimi, pea ki he teleʻa ʻo Misipa ki he potu hahake; pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻikai tuku ha niʻihi ke toe.
9 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he cut the hamstrings of their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia: ne ne tutuʻu ʻae uoua ʻoe vaʻe ʻo ʻenau fanga hoosi, pea ne tutu ʻenau ngaahi saliote ʻaki ʻae afi.
10 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and stroke the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor in time past was the head of all those kingdoms.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Siosiua ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo ne maʻu ʻa Hasoa, ʻo ne taaʻi hono tuʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā: he ko Hasoa ko e ʻulu ia ʻi muʻa ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ni kotoa pē.
11 And they stroke all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
Pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: naʻe ʻikai ha niʻihi ke toe ke moʻui: pea naʻa ne tutu ʻa Hasoa ʻaki ʻae afi.
12 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and stroke them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
Pea ko e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ko ia, pea mo honau ngaahi tuʻi, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosiua, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻo ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova.
13 But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
Ka koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kolo naʻe kei tuʻu pe ʻi honau mālohi, naʻe ʻikai tutu ia ʻe ʻIsileli, ka ko Hasoa pē: ko ia ia naʻe tutu ʻe Siosiua.
14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they stroke with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
Pea ko e meʻa vete kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi kolo ni, mo e fanga manu, naʻe toʻo ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko e koloa kiate kinautolu; ka naʻa nau taaʻi ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ke ʻoua kenau ʻauha ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau tuku ha niʻihi ke moʻui.
15 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.
Hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese, naʻe pehē pe hono fekauʻi ʻe Mōsese ʻa Siosiua, pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Siosiua: naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ha meʻa ʻe taha taʻefai, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese.
16 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
Ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻae fonua kotoa pē, ko e ngaahi moʻunga, mo e ngaahi fonua ki he potu tonga, mo e fonua kotoa pē ko Koseni, mo e teleʻa, mo e toafa, mo e moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e tafangafanga ʻo ia;
17 Even from the mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and stroke them, and slew them.
‌ʻIo, mei he moʻunga ko Halaki, ʻoku ʻalu hake ki Seia, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki Peali-kata ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Lepanoni ʻi lalo ʻi he moʻunga ko Heamoni: mo honau ngaahi tuʻi naʻa ne maʻu, ʻo taaʻi, mo tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
Naʻe fai fuoloa ʻe Siosiua ʻae tau mo e ngaahi tuʻi ko ia.
19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.
Naʻe ʻikai ha kolo naʻe fakalelei mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ka ko e kakai Hevi ʻoku nofo ʻi Kipione: ko hono toe kotoa pē naʻa nau lavaʻi ʻi he tau.
20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
He naʻe ʻia Sihova ke fakafefeka honau loto, koeʻuhi kenau haʻu angatuʻu ki ʻIsileli ke tau, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu, pea ke ʻoua naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ʻofa, ka koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Siosiua ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo ne motuhi ʻae kau ʻAnaki mei he ngaahi moʻunga, mei Hepeloni, mo Tipa, mo ʻAnapi, pea mei he moʻunga kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, pea mei he ngaahi moʻunga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: naʻe fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua mo ʻenau ngaahi kolo.
22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
Naʻe ʻikai hano toe ʻoe kau ʻAnaki ʻi he fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ka naʻe toe [ha niʻihi ]ʻi Kesa, mo Kati, pea ʻi ʻAsitoti.
23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
Ko ia, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosiua ʻae fonua kotoa, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese; pea naʻe foaki ia ʻe Siosiua ki ʻIsileli ko honau tofiʻa, ʻo fakatatau ki he vahevahe ʻo honau ngaahi faʻahinga. Pea naʻe mālōlō ʻae fonua mei he tau.
