Siosiua 11

1 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,

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,

2 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,

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,

3 [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.

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.

4 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.

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

5 Pea ʻi he fakakātoa ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ni, naʻa nau haʻu ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi he ngaahi vai ʻo Melomi, kenau tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

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

6 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.”

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.”

7 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.

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

8 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.

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.

9 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.

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

10 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.

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

11 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.

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.

12 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.

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.

13 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.

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

14 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.

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.

15 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.

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.

16 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;

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.

17 ‌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.

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.

18 Naʻe fai fuoloa ʻe Siosiua ʻae tau mo e ngaahi tuʻi ko ia.

Joshua fought a long war with all these kings.

19 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.

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

20 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.

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.

21 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.

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,

22 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.

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

23 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.

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.
