Joshua 11
1 And when Jabin, the king of Hazor, had heard these things, he sent to Jobab, the king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Då Jabin, Konungen i Hazor, detta hörde, sände han till Jobab, Konungen i Madon, och till Konungen i Achsaph,
2 also to the kings of the north, who were living in the mountains, and in the plains opposite the southern region of Chinneroth, and also in the plains and the regions of Dor, beside the sea,
Och till de Konungar, som bodde norrut uppå bergen, och uppå slättmarkene, söderut Cinneroth; och i dalarna, och i NaphotDor, utmed hafvet;
3 also to the Canaanites, from east to west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, also to the Hivite who was living at the base of Hermon, in the land of Mizpah.
Till de Cananeer österut och vesterut, till de Amoreer, Hetheer, Phereseer, och Jebuseer uppå bergen; så ock till de Heveer nedanför Hermons berg i Mizpa land.
4 And they all went forth with their troops, a people exceedingly numerous, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea. And their horses and chariots were an immense multitude.
Desse drogo ut med alla deras härar, dråpeliga mycket folk, såsom sanden i hafsstrandene; och ganska många hästar och vagnar.
5 And all these kings assembled at the waters of Merom, so that they might fight against Israel.
Alle desse Konungar församlade sig, och kommo, och lägrade sig ihop vid det vattnet Merom, till att strida med Israel.
6 And the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear them. For tomorrow, at this same hour, I will deliver all these to be wounded in the sight of Israel. You will hamstring their horses, and you will burn their chariots with fire.”
Och Herren sade till Josua: Frukta dig intet för dem; ty i morgon på denna tiden skall jag gifva dem alla slagna för Israels barn; deras hästar skall du hasa, och bränna deras vagnar i eld.
7 And Joshua, and the entire army with him, came against them suddenly, at the waters of Merom, and they rushed upon them.
Och Josua kom hasteliga på dem, och allt krigsfolket med honom, vid vattnet Merom, och öfverföll dem.
8 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel. And they struck them, and they pursued them as far as the great Sidon, and the waters of Misrephoth, and the field of Mizpeh, which is toward the eastern region. He struck them all, so that nothing was left of them to remain.
Och Herren gaf dem i Israels händer; och de slogo dem, och jagade dem allt intill det stora Zidon, och intill det varma vattnet; och intill slätten i Mizpe österut, och slogo dem tilldess icke en igenblef.
9 And he did just as the Lord had instructed him. He hamstrung their horses, and he burned their chariots with fire.
Då gjorde Josua dem såsom Herren honom budit hade, och hasade deras hästar, och brände upp deras vagnar;
10 And turning back, he immediately seized Hazor. And he struck down its king with the sword. For Hazor, from antiquity, held the first position among all these kingdoms.
Och vände om på samma tiden, och vann Hazor, och slog dess Konung med svärd; ty Hazor var tillförene hufvudstaden för alla dessa Konungariken;
11 And he struck down all the souls that were staying there. He did not leave in it any remains, but he destroyed everything unto utter annihilation, and he destroyed the city itself with fire.
Och slog alla de själar, som derinne voro, med svärdsegg, och gaf dem tillspillo; och lät intet igenblifva, som anda hade; och brände upp Hazor med eld.
12 And he seized, struck, and destroyed all the surrounding cities and their kings, just as Moses, the servant of God, had instructed him.
Dertill alla dessa Konungarnas städer vann Josua, med deras Konungar; och slog dem med svärdsegg, och gaf dem tillspillo, såsom Mose Herrans tjenare budit hade.
13 And except for the cities that were on hills and in elevated places, the rest Israel burned. One only, highly-fortified Hazor, was consumed with fire.
Dock uppbrände Israels barn inga städer med eld, som högt uppe lågo, förutan Hazor allena; det uppbrände Josua.
14 And the sons of Israel divided among themselves all the plunder of these cities, and the cattle, putting to death all persons.
Och allt rofvet af dessa städerna, och boskapen, bytte Israels barn emellan sig; men alla menniskor slogo de med svärdsegg, tilldess de förgjorde dem, och läto intet igenblifva, som anda hade.
15 Just as the Lord had instructed his servant Moses, so did Moses instruct Joshua, and he fulfilled everything. He did not omit even one word out of all the commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
Såsom Herren sinom tjenare Mose, och Mose Josua budit hade, så gjorde Josua, att intet blef tillbaka af allt det Herren hade budit Mose.
16 And so Joshua seized the entire land of the mountains, and of the south, and the land of Goshen, and the plains, and the western region, and the mountain of Israel, and its plains.
Alltså intog Josua all denna landen på bergen, och allt det söderut ligger, och allt landet Gosen, och dalarna, och slättmarkena, och Israels berg med dess dalar;
17 As for the part of the mountain that ascends to Seir, as far as Baalgad, along the plain of Lebanon under mount Hermon, all their kings he seized, struck down, and killed.
Allt ifrå berget, som åtskiljer landet uppåt emot Seir intill BaalGad, på bergsens Libanons slätt nedan vid Hermons berg; alla deras Konungar vann han, och slog dem, och drap dem.
18 For a long time, Joshua fought against these kings.
Men han förde örlig med dessa Konungarna i långan tid.
19 There was not a city that delivered itself to the sons of Israel, except the Hivites who were living at Gibeon. For he seized it all in warfare.
Och var ingen stad, som sig gaf med frid under Israels barn, undantagna de Heveer, som bodde i Gibeon; utan de vunno dem alla med strid.
20 For it was the sentence of the Lord that their hearts would be hardened, and that they would fight against Israel and fall, and that they did not deserve any clemency, and that they should perish, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Och det skedde så af Herranom, att deras hjerta vardt förstockadt, till att möta Israels barn med strid; på det de skulle tillspillo komma, och dem ingen nåd vederfaras, utan förgöras, såsom Herren hade budit Mose.
21 In that time, Joshua went and put to death the Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron and Debir and Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah and Israel. And he destroyed their cities.
På den tiden kom Josua, och utrotade de Enakim utaf bergen af Hebron, af Debir, af Anab, af all Juda berg, och af all Israels berg, och gaf dem tillspillo med deras städer;
22 He did not leave any from the stock of the Anakim in the land of the sons of Israel, except the cities of Gaza, and Gath, and Ashdod, which alone were left behind.
Och lät ingen Enakim igenblifva i Israels barnas land, förutan i Gasa, i Gath, och i Asdod; der blefvo de igen.
23 Thus, Joshua seized all the land, just as the Lord spoke to Moses, and he delivered it as a possession to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions and tribes. And the land rested from battles.
Alltså tog Josua allt landet in, alldeles såsom Herren hade sagt till Mose; och gaf det Israels barnom till arfs, hvarjo slägtene sin del. Och landet vände åter att strida.
