< Joshua 11 >

1 And whanne Jabyn, kyng of Asor, hadde herd these thingis, he sente to Jobab, kyng of Madian, and to the kyng of Semeron, and to the kyng of Acsaph; forsothe to the kyngis of the north,
夏瑣王耶賓聽見這事,就打發人去見瑪頓王約巴、伸崙王、押煞王,
2 that dwelliden in the hilli places, and in the pleyn ayens the south of Seneroth, and in the feeldi places, and cuntreis of Dor, bisidis the see,
與北方山地、基尼烈南邊的亞拉巴高原,並西邊多珥山岡的諸王;
3 and `to Cananei fro the eest and west, and to Ammorrey, and Ethei, and Feresei, and Jebusei, in the `hilli places, and to Euey, that dwellide at the rootis of Hermon, in the lond of Maspha.
又去見東方和西方的迦南人,與山地的亞摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、耶布斯人,並黑門山根米斯巴地的希未人。
4 And alle yeden out with her cumpanyes, a ful myche puple, as the grauel which is in the `brynk of the see, and horsis, and charis, of greet multitude.
這些王和他們的眾軍都出來,人數多如海邊的沙,並有許多馬匹車輛。
5 And alle these kyngis camen togidere at the watris of Meron, to fiyte ayens Israel.
這諸王會合,來到米倫水邊,一同安營,要與以色列人爭戰。
6 And the Lord seyde to Josue, Drede thou not hem, for to morewe, in this same our, Y schal bitake alle these men to be woundid in the siyt of Israel; thou schalt hoxe `the horsis of hem, and thou schalt brenne `the charis bi fier.
耶和華對約書亞說:「你不要因他們懼怕。明日這時,我必將他們交付以色列人全然殺了。你要砍斷他們馬的蹄筋,用火焚燒他們的車輛。」
7 And Josue cam, and al his oost with hym, ayens hem sodenli, at the watris of Meron, `and felden on hem.
於是約書亞率領一切兵丁,在米倫水邊突然向前攻打他們。
8 And the Lord bitook hem in to the hondis of Israel; whiche smytiden hem, `that is, the hethen kyngis and her oostes, and pursueden `til to grete Sidon, and the watris of Maserophoth, and to the feeld of Maspha, which is at the eest part therof. Josue smoot so alle men, that he lefte no relikis of hem;
耶和華將他們交在以色列人手裏,以色列人就擊殺他們,追趕他們到西頓大城,到米斯利弗‧瑪音,直到東邊米斯巴的平原,將他們擊殺,沒有留下一個。
9 and he dide as the Lord comaundide to hym; he hoxide `the horsis of hem, and brente the charis.
約書亞就照耶和華所吩咐他的去行,砍斷他們馬的蹄筋,用火焚燒他們的車輛。
10 And he turnede ayen anoon, and took Asor, and `smoot bi swerd the kyng therof; for Asor helde bi eld tyme the prinsehed among alle these rewmes.
當時,約書亞轉回奪了夏瑣,用刀擊殺夏瑣王。(素來夏瑣在這諸國中是為首的。)
11 And `he smoot alle persoones that dwelliden there, he lefte not ony relikys therynne, but he wastide alle thingis `til to deeth; also he distriede thilke citee bi brennyng.
以色列人用刀擊殺城中的人口,將他們盡行殺滅;凡有氣息的沒有留下一個。約書亞又用火焚燒夏瑣。
12 And he took alle `citees bi cumpas, and `the kyngis of hem, and smoot, and dide awei, as Moises, the `seruaunt of the Lord,
約書亞奪了這些王的一切城邑,擒獲其中的諸王,用刀擊殺他們,將他們盡行殺滅,正如耶和華僕人摩西所吩咐的。
13 comaundide to hym, without citees that weren set in the grete hillis, and in litle hillis; and Israel brente the othere citees; flawme wastide oneli o citee, Asor, the strongeste.
至於造在山岡上的城,除了夏瑣以外,以色列人都沒有焚燒。約書亞只將夏瑣焚燒了。
14 And the sones of Israel departiden to hem silf al the prei, and werk beestis of these citees, whanne alle men weren slayn.
那些城邑所有的財物和牲畜,以色列人都取為自己的掠物;惟有一切人口都用刀擊殺,直到殺盡;凡有氣息的沒有留下一個。
15 As the Lord comaundide to his seruaunt Moises, so Moises comaundide to Josue, and `he fillide alle thingis; he passide not of alle comaundementis, `nether o word sotheli, which the Lord comaundide to Moises.
耶和華怎樣吩咐他僕人摩西,摩西就照樣吩咐約書亞,約書亞也照樣行。凡耶和華所吩咐摩西的,約書亞沒有一件懈怠不行的。
16 And so Josue took al the `lond of the hillis, and of the south, the lond of Gosen, and the pleyn, and the west coost, and the hil of Israel, and the feeldi places therof;
約書亞奪了那全地,就是山地、一帶南地、歌珊全地、高原、亞拉巴、以色列的山地,和山下的高原。
17 and the part of the hil that stieth to Seir `til to Baalgath, bi the pleyn of Liban vndur the hil of Hermon; Josue took, and smoot, and killide alle the kyngis of tho places.
從上西珥的哈拉山,直到黑門山下黎巴嫩平原的巴力‧迦得,並且擒獲那些地的諸王,將他們殺死。
18 Josue fauyt myche tyme ayens these kyngis;
約書亞和這諸王爭戰了許多年日。
19 `no citee was, which bitook not it silf to the sones of Israel, out takun Euey that dwellide in Gabaon; he took alle bi batel.
除了基遍的希未人之外,沒有一城與以色列人講和的,都是以色列人爭戰奪來的。
20 For it was the sentence of the Lord, that `the hertis of hem schulde be maad hard, and that thei schulden fiyte ayens Israel, and schulden falle, and schulden not disserue ony mercy, and schulden perische, as the Lord comaundide to Moises.
因為耶和華的意思是要使他們心裏剛硬,來與以色列人爭戰,好叫他們盡被殺滅,不蒙憐憫,正如耶和華所吩咐摩西的。
21 Josue cam in that tyme, and killide Enachym, that is, giauntis, fro the `hilli placis of Ebron, and of Dabir, and of Anab, and fro al the hil of Juda, and of Israel, and dide awei `the citees of hem.
當時約書亞來到,將住山地、希伯崙、底璧、亞拿伯、猶大山地、以色列山地所有的亞衲族人剪除了。約書亞將他們和他們的城邑盡都毀滅。
22 He lefte not ony man of the generacioun of Enachim in the lond of the sones of Israel, without the citees of Gasa, and Geth, and Azotus, in whiche aloone thei weren left.
在以色列人的地沒有留下一個亞衲族人,只在迦薩、迦特,和亞實突有留下的。
23 Therfor Josue took al the lond, as the Lord spak to Moyses, and he yaf it in to possessioun to the sones of Israel, bi her partis and lynagis; and the lond restide fro batels.
這樣,約書亞照着耶和華所吩咐摩西的一切話奪了那全地,就按着以色列支派的宗族將地分給他們為業。於是國中太平,沒有爭戰了。
