Josue 11
Magandang Balita Biblia
Tinalo ni Josue si Jabin at ang mga Kasama Nito
11 Nang mabalitaan ni Jabin, hari ng Hazor, ang ganitong mga pangyayari, nagpasabi siya kay Jobab, hari ng Madon, at sa mga hari ng Simron at Acsaf. 2 Pinabalitaan din niya ang mga hari sa kaburulan sa dakong hilaga, sa Kapatagan ng Jordan, sa timog ng lawa ng Cineret at sa kapatagan hanggang sa baybayin ng Dor sa gawing kanluran. 3 Nagpasabi rin siya sa mga Cananeo sa magkabilang panig ng Ilog Jordan, sa mga Amoreo, Heteo at Perezeo. Nagpadala rin siya ng mensahe sa mga Jebuseo na naninirahan sa kaburulan, at sa mga Hivita na naninirahan sa paanan ng Bundok Hermon, sa lupain ng Mizpa. 4 Dumating lahat ang mga haring iyon, kasama ang kanilang mga sandatahang lakas. Halos sindami ng buhangin sa tabing-dagat ang bilang ng kanilang hukbo. Napakarami rin ng kanilang mga kabayo at mga karwaheng pandigma. 5 Nagkaisa ang mga haring iyon na pag-isahin ang kanilang mga pwersa at sama-sama silang nagkampo sa may batisan ng Merom upang salakayin ang Israel.
6 Ngunit sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Huwag kang matakot sa kanila. Asahan mo, bukas sa ganito ring oras, lilipulin ko silang lahat para sa Israel. Lalagutan ninyo ng litid upang mapilay ang kanilang mga kabayo at susunugin ang kanilang mga karwahe.” 7 Kaya't sila'y biglang sinalakay ni Josue at ng kanyang mga kawal sa may batis ng Merom. 8 Pinagtagumpay ni Yahweh ang mga Israelita. Hinabol nila ang mga kaaway hanggang sa Dakilang Sidon at sa Misrefot-mayim sa gawing hilaga, at hanggang sa Libis ng Mizpa sa gawing silangan. Nagpatuloy ang labanan hanggang walang natirang buháy sa mga kaaway. 9 Ginawa sa kanila ni Josue ang utos ni Yahweh, pinilayan niya ang mga kabayo at sinunog ang kanilang mga karwahe.
10 Pagkatapos, bumalik si Josue, sinakop ang Hazor at pinatay ang hari roon. Nang panahong iyon, ang Hazor ang kinikilalang pinakamakapangyarihang lunsod sa mga kahariang iyon. 11 Sinunog ng mga Israelita ang lunsod at pinatay ang lahat ng tagaroon—walang itinira ni isa man. 12 Natalo ni Josue ang lahat ng mga haring iyon at sinakop ang kanilang mga lunsod. Pinatay niyang lahat ang mga tao roon, gaya ng iniutos ni Moises na lingkod ni Yahweh. 13 Maliban sa Hazor na sinunog ni Josue, hindi sinunog ng mga Israelita ang mga lunsod na nasa burol. 14 Sinamsam ng mga Israelita ang kanilang mahahalagang kagamitan at mga baka. Ngunit pinatay nila ang mga tao roon at walang itinirang buháy. 15 Ito ang utos na ibinigay ni Yahweh kay Moises, at ibinigay naman ni Moises kay Josue. Tinupad ni Josue ang lahat ng iniutos ni Yahweh kay Moises.
Sinakop ni Josue ang Buong Lupain
16 Sinakop nga ni Josue ang buong lupaing iyon: ang kaburulan at ang mga nasa paanan ng bundok na nasa hilaga at timog, ang buong saklaw ng Goshen, at ang tuyong bahagi sa katimugan nito, pati ang Kapatagan ng Jordan. 17 Buhat sa Bundok Halac paahon sa Seir hanggang sa Baal-gad sa Kapatagan ng Lebanon, sa may paanan ng Bundok Hermon, ay nasakop lahat ni Josue at pinatay ang kanilang mga hari. 18 Matagal ding dinigma ni Josue ang mga bansang ito. 19 Walang nakipagkasundo sa Israel kundi ang mga Hivita na naninirahan sa Gibeon. 20 Ipinahintulot(A) ni Yahweh na mahigpit silang makipaglaban sa mga Israelita, upang walang awa silang lipuling lahat at matupok ang kanilang mga lunsod, ayon sa sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises.
21 Nang panahon ding iyon, sinalakay ni Josue ang lahi ng mga higante na tinatawag na mga Anaceo sa kaburulan ng Hebron, Debir, Anab, at sa lahat ng kaburulan ng Juda at Israel. Sila'y nilipol niya, 22 kaya't walang natirang Anaceo sa lupain ng Israel. Sa Gaza, sa Gat at sa Asdod lamang may natirang ilan. 23 Sinakop nga ni Josue ang buong lupaing iyon, tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, at ipinamahagi sa bawat lipi ng Israel, upang paghati-hatian ng lahat ng bumubuo ng bawat lipi.
Pagkatapos nito, namuhay na nang mapayapa ang mga Israelita sa lupaing iyon.
Joshua 11
English Standard Version
Conquests in Northern Canaan
11 When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard of this, he (A)sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, 2 and to the kings who were in the northern hill country, and in the (B)Arabah south of (C)Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and (D)in Naphoth-dor on the (E)west, 3 to the Canaanites in the east and the west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, and the (F)Jebusites in the hill country, and the (G)Hivites under (H)Hermon in the land of (I)Mizpah. 4 And they came out with all their troops, a great horde, in number (J)like the sand that is on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots. 5 And all these kings joined their forces and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
6 And the Lord said to Joshua, (K)“Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel. You shall (L)hamstring their horses and burn their (M)chariots with fire.” 7 So Joshua and all his warriors came (N)suddenly against them by the waters of Merom and fell upon them. 8 And the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel, who struck them and chased them as far as (O)Great Sidon and (P)Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of (Q)Mizpeh. And they struck them until he left none remaining. 9 And Joshua did to them (R)just as the Lord said to him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
10 And Joshua turned back at that time and captured (S)Hazor and struck its king with the sword, for Hazor formerly was the head of all those kingdoms. 11 And they struck with the sword all who were in it, devoting them to destruction;[a] (T)there was none left that breathed. And he burned Hazor with fire. 12 And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua captured, and struck them with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, (U)just as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. 13 But none of the cities that stood on mounds did Israel burn, except Hazor alone; that Joshua burned. 14 And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock, the people of Israel took for their plunder. But every person they struck with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they did not leave any who breathed. 15 (V)Just as the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, (W)so Moses commanded Joshua, (X)and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
16 So Joshua took all that land, (Y)the hill country and all the Negeb and (Z)all the land of Goshen (AA)and the lowland (AB)and the Arabah (AC)and the hill country of Israel and its lowland 17 (AD)from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as (AE)Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon below (AF)Mount Hermon. And he captured (AG)all their kings and struck them and put them to death. 18 Joshua made war (AH)a long time with all those kings. 19 There was not a city that made peace with the people of Israel except (AI)the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took them all in battle. 20 For it was the Lord's doing (AJ)to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be devoted to destruction and should receive no mercy but be destroyed, (AK)just as the Lord commanded Moses.
21 And Joshua came at that time and cut off (AL)the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction with their cities. 22 There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel. Only in Gaza, (AM)in Gath, and in Ashdod did some remain. 23 So Joshua took the whole land, (AN)according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses. (AO)And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel (AP)according to their tribal allotments. And the land had rest from war.
