Iosua 11
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Campania din nordul Canaanului
11 Când a auzit cele întâmplate, Iabin, regele Haţorului, a trimis soli la Iobab, regele Madonului, la regele Şimronului, la regele Acşafului, 2 la regii din regiunea de nord, care erau în zona muntoasă, în Araba[a], la sud de Chineret[b] şi în zona deluroasă[c], la cei din Nafot-Dor[d], în apus, 3 precum şi la canaaniţii din partea de răsărit şi de apus, la amoriţi, la hitiţi, la periziţi, la iebusiţii din munte şi la hiviţii de la poalele Hermonului, în regiunea Miţpa. 4 Aceştia au ieşit cu toate oştirile lor, alcătuind o mulţime foarte numeroasă, ca nisipul de pe ţărmul mării şi având un mare număr de cai şi care de luptă. 5 Toţi aceşti regi au hotărât un loc de întâlnire şi astfel au venit şi şi-au aşezat tabăra la apele Meromului, ca să se lupte cu Israel.
6 Domnul i-a zis lui Iosua: „Nu tremura înaintea lor, căci mâine, pe vremea aceasta, îi voi da pe toţi la moarte înaintea lui Israel. Cailor să le tai tendoanele, iar carelor de luptă să le dai foc.“
7 Iosua împreună cu întreaga oştire, au venit pe neaşteptate împotriva lor, lângă apele Meromului şi s-au năpustit asupra lor. 8 Domnul i-a dat în mâna lui Israel, care i-a învins. I-a urmărit până la Sidonul cel Mare, până la Misrefot-Maim şi până în valea Miţpa, în răsărit şi i-a lovit de moarte, nelăsând nici un supravieţuitor. 9 Iosua a făcut aşa cum îi poruncise Domnul: a tăiat tendoanele cailor şi a ars carele de luptă.
10 După aceea, Iosua s-a întors şi a cucerit Haţorul, omorându-i regele cu sabia. Odinioară Haţorul era capitala tuturor acestor regate[e]. 11 Au nimicit[f] întreaga populaţie care se afla în el, trecând-o prin ascuţişul sabiei, fără să lase nimic din ce avea suflare de viaţă şi au dat foc cetăţii.
12 Iosua a învins toate cetăţile acestor regi şi pe regii lor odată cu ele, trecându-le prin ascuţişul sabiei.
Le-a distrus cu desăvârşire, aşa cum poruncise Moise, robul Domnului. 13 Totuşi Israel nu a ars nici una din cetăţile aşezate pe coline, în afară de Haţor, care a fost ars de către Iosua. 14 Israeliţii au luat ca pradă toate lucrurile de valoare din acele cetăţi, precum şi toate animalele. Ei au nimicit însă întreaga populaţie, trecând-o prin ascuţişul sabiei şi nu au lăsat pe nimeni în viaţă. 15 Iosua a făcut aşa cum îi poruncise Domnul robului Său Moise şi aşa cum îi poruncise Moise lui Iosua; el nu a lăsat nimic neîmplinit din ceea ce Domnul îi poruncise lui Moise.
Teritoriul controlat de Israel
16 Iosua a cucerit astfel toată această regiune: zona muntoasă[g], tot Neghevul[h], toată regiunea Goşen[i], zona deluroasă[j], Araba şi ţinutul muntos al lui Israel cu văile lui, 17 de la muntele Halak, care se înalţă către Seir, până la Baal-Gad, în Valea Libanului, la poalele muntelui Hermon. I-a învins pe toţi regii acestor ţinuturi, capturându-i şi omorându-i. 18 Războiul purtat de Iosua împotriva acestor regi a ţinut multă vreme. 19 Nu a existat nici o cetate care să fi încheiat pace cu israeliţii, în afară de hiviţii care locuiau în Ghivon. Toate celelalte cetăţi au fost cucerite prin luptă, 20 căci Domnul a îngăduit ca locuitorii acestora să-şi împietrească inimile şi să intre în război cu Israel pentru a fi omorâţi fără milă, nimiciţi potrivit poruncii date de Domnul lui Moise.
21 Tot atunci Iosua i-a atacat şi i-a nimicit şi pe anachiţii[k] din munţi: din Hebron, din Debir, din Anab, din toată regiunea muntoasă a lui Iuda şi din toată regiunea muntoasă a lui Israel, distrugându-i împreună cu cetăţile lor. 22 Nu a supravieţuit nici un anachit, în afară de cei care au rămas în Gaza, Gat şi Aşdod.
23 Astfel, Iosua a cucerit întreaga ţară, potrivit cu tot ce-i spusese Domnul lui Moise. Şi Iosua i-a dat-o ca moştenire lui Israel, împărţind-o după numărul seminţiilor.
Apoi ţara s-a odihnit de război.

Joshua 11
New King James Version
The Northern Conquest
11 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard these things, that he (A)sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king (B)of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph, 2 and to the kings who were from the north, in the mountains, in the plain south of (C)Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights (D)of Dor on the west, 3 to the Canaanites in the east and in the west, the (E)Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the mountains, (F)and the Hivite below (G)Hermon (H)in the land of Mizpah. 4 So they went out, they and all their armies with them, as many people (I)as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots. 5 And when all these kings had [a]met together, they came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
6 But the Lord said to Joshua, (J)“Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You shall (K)hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.” 7 So Joshua and all the people of war with him came against them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and they attacked them. 8 And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who defeated them and chased them to [b]Greater (L)Sidon, to the [c]Brook (M)Misrephoth, and to the Valley of Mizpah eastward; they attacked them until they left none of them remaining. 9 So Joshua did to them as the Lord had told him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
10 Joshua turned back at that time and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms. 11 And they struck all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, (N)utterly destroying them. There was none left (O)breathing. Then he burned Hazor with fire.
12 So all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took and struck with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them, (P)as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. 13 But as for the cities that stood on their [d]mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only, which Joshua burned. 14 And all the (Q)spoil of these cities and the livestock, the children of Israel took as booty for themselves; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they left none breathing. 15 (R)As the Lord had commanded Moses His servant, so (S)Moses commanded Joshua, and (T)so Joshua did. [e]He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
Summary of Joshua’s Conquests
16 Thus Joshua took all this land: (U)the mountain country, all the South, (V)all the land of Goshen, the lowland, and the Jordan [f]plain—the mountains of Israel and its lowlands, 17 (W)from [g]Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, even as far as Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured (X)all their kings, and struck them down and killed them. 18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. 19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except (Y)the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the others they took in battle. 20 For (Z)it was of the Lord [h]to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, (AA)as the Lord had commanded Moses.
21 And at that time Joshua came and cut off (AB)the Anakim from the mountains: from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities. 22 None of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel; they remained only (AC)in Gaza, in Gath, (AD)and in Ashdod.
23 So Joshua took the whole land, (AE)according to all that the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel (AF)according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land (AG)rested from war.

King James Version
11 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,
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,
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.
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.
5 And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
6 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
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.
8 And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
9 And Joshua did unto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
11 And they smote 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.
12 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.
13 But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
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 smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
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.
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;
17 Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
