Joshua 11

1 And when Jabin king of Asor had heard these things, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Semeron, and to the king of Achsaph:

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 of the north, that dwelt in the mountains and in the plains over against the south side of Ceneroth, and in the levels and the countries of Dor by the sea side:

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 To the Chanaanites also on the ease and on the west, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Jebusite in the mountains: to the Hevite also who dwelt at the foot of Hermon in the land of Maspha.

[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 all came out with their troops, a people exceeding numerous as the sand that is on the sea shore, their horses also and chariots a very great multitude,

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 all these kings assembled 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 to Josue: Fear them not: for tomorrow at this same hour I will deliver all these to be slain in the sight of Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and thou shalt 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 And Josue came, and all the army with him, against them to the waters of Merom on a sudden, and 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 hands of Israel. And they defeated them, and chased them as far as the great Sidon, and the waters of Maserophot, and the field of Masphe, which is on the east side thereof. He slew them all, so as to leave no remains of them:

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 he did as the Lord had commanded him, he hamstringed their horses and burned their chariots.

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 presently turning back he took Asor: and slew the king thereof with the sword. Now Asor of old was the head of all these 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 he cut off all the souls that abode there: he left not in it any remains, but utterly destroyed all, and burned the city itself 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 he took and put to the sword and destroyed all the cities round about, and their kings, as Moses the servant of God had commanded him.

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 Except the cities that were on hills and high places, the rest Israel burned: only Asor that was very strong he consumed with fire.

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 the children of Israel divided among themselves all the spoil of these cities and the cattle, killing all the men.

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 had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Josue, and he accomplished all: he left not one thing undone of all the commandments which the Lord had 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 Josue took all the country of the hills, and of the south, and the land of Gosen, and the plains and the west country, and the mountain of Israel, and the plains thereof:

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 And part of the mountain that goeth up to Seir as far as Baalgad, by the plain of Libanus under mount Hermon: all their kings he took, smote and slew.

‌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 Josue made war a long time against these kings.

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

19 There was hot a city that delivered itself to the children of Israel, except the Hevite, who dwelt in Gabaon: for he took all by fight.

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 the sentence of the Lord, that their hearts should be hardened, and they should fight against Israel, and fall, and should not deserve any clemency, and should be destroyed as the Lord had 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 At that time Josue came and cut off the Enacims from the mountains, from Hebron, and Dabir, and Anab, and from all the mountain of Juda and Israel, and destroyed 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 He left not any of the stock of the Enacims, in the land of the children of Israel: except the cities of Gaza, and Geth, and Azotus, in which alone they were left.

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 Josue took all the land, as the Lord spoke to Moses, and delivered it in possession to the children of Israel, according to their divisions and tribes. And the land rested from wars.

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.
