Józsué 11
Hungarian New Translation
Ütközet Mérómnál
11 Amikor meghallotta ezt Jábín, Hácór királya, üzenetet küldött Jóbábhoz, Mádón királyához, Simrón királyához, Aksáf királyához
2 és azokhoz a királyokhoz, akik az északi hegyvidéken laktak, meg a Kinnerettől délre levő síkságon, Sefélá-alföldön, meg a Dór mellett levő nyugati dombvonulaton;
3 a keleten és nyugaton lakó kánaániakhoz, az emóriakhoz, a hettitákhoz, a perizziekhez és jebúsziakhoz a hegyvidékre és a Hermón alatt lakó hivviekhez Micpa földjére.
4 Ezek kivonultak egész táborukkal. Annyi volt a nép, mint a tenger partján a homok; ló és harci kocsi is igen sok volt.
5 Mindezek a királyok egyesültek, és amikor megérkeztek, közösen ütöttek tábort a Méróm vizénél, hogy harcoljanak Izráel ellen.
6 Akkor ezt mondta az Úr Józsuénak: Ne félj tőlük, mert holnap ilyenkor Izráelnek adom mindnyájukat halálra sebezve. Vágd át lovaik inát, és gyújtsd fel harci kocsijaikat!
7 Józsué hirtelen rájuk tört egész hadseregével a Méróm vizénél, és megtámadta őket.
8 Az Úr pedig Izráel kezébe adta őket. Megverték, és üldözték őket Szídón-Rabbáig és Miszrefót-Májimig, és a Micpe-völgyig kelet felé. Megverték őket, senkit sem hagytak elmenekülni.
9 Úgy tett velük Józsué, ahogyan meghagyta neki az Úr: Lovaik inát átvágatta, harci kocsijaikat pedig fölgyújtotta.
Józsué elfoglalja az egész országot
10 Akkor visszafordult Józsué, elfoglalta Hácórt, királyát pedig megölte karddal. Mindezeknek a királyságoknak Hácór volt azelőtt a fővárosa.
11 Kardélre hányta, kiirtotta a benne levő élőlényeket mind, nem maradt meg egyetlen élő sem; Hácórt pedig fölperzselte.
12 Ezeknek a királyoknak minden városát elfoglalta Józsué királyaikkal együtt, és kardélre hányta, kiirtotta őket, ahogyan Mózes, az Úr szolgája parancsolta neki.
13 De a halmokon álló városokat nem perzselte föl Izráel, egyedül csak Hácórt perzselte fel Józsué.
14 Ezeknek a városoknak minden zsákmánya és állata Izráel fiainak zsákmánya lett. Csak az embereket hányták kardélre, amíg mindenkit ki nem pusztítottak. Nem hagytak meg egy lelket sem.
15 Ahogyan az Úr megparancsolta szolgájának, Mózesnek, úgy parancsolta meg Mózes Józsuénak, és úgy cselekedett Józsué. Semmiben sem tért el attól, amit az Úr Mózesnek parancsolt.
16 Így foglalta el Józsué azt az egész országot: A hegyvidéket, az egész Délvidéket és Gósen egész földjét, a Sefélá-alföldet és a síkságot, Izráel hegyvidékét és alföldjét,
17 a Kopasz-hegytől, amely Széír irányában emelkedik, Baal-Gádig, mely a Libánon völgyében a Hermón-hegy lábánál fekszik. Összes királyukat elfogta, levágta, megölte.
18 Hosszú ideig viselt háborút Józsué ezek ellen a királyok ellen.
19 Egyetlen város sem köthetett békét Izráel fiaival, csak a Gibeónban lakó hivviek. Mindent harcban foglaltak el.
20 Mert az Úr megkeményítette a szívüket, hogy harcoljanak Izráel ellen. Ezért Izráel kiirtotta őket, nem volt irgalom számukra, hanem kipusztították őket, ahogyan az Úr parancsolta Mózesnek.
21 Abban az időben elment Józsué, és kipusztította az anákokat a hegyvidékről, Hebrónból, Debírből, Anábból, Júda egész hegységéből és Izráel egész hegységéből. Városaikkal együtt kiirtotta őket Józsué.
22 Nem maradtak anákok Izráel fiainak földjén, csak Gázában, Gátban és Asdódban maradtak meg.
23 Így foglalta el Józsué az egész országot, egészen úgy, ahogyan az Úr megígérte Mózesnek. Józsué pedig átadta azt Izráelnek, hogy birtokolják, mindegyik törzs a maga részét. És béke lett az országban a háború után.
Joshua 11
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.
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.
