Josue 11
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
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.

Conquista de los reinos del norte
11 Cuando Jabín, rey de Jazor, se enteró de todo lo ocurrido, convocó a Jobab, rey de Madón, y a los reyes de Simrón y de Acsaf. 2 También llamó a los reyes de la región montañosa del norte; a los de la región al sur del lago Quinéret;[a] a los de la llanura y a los de Nafot Dor,[b] al occidente. 3 Llamó además a los cananeos de oriente y occidente, a los amorreos, a los hititas, a los ferezeos, a los jebuseos de las montañas y a los heveos que viven en las laderas del monte Hermón en Mizpa.
4 Salieron con sus ejércitos, caballos y carros de guerra. Eran tan numerosos que parecían arena a la orilla del mar. 5 Todos esos reyes formaron un solo ejército y acamparon junto a las aguas de Merón para pelear contra Israel.
6 Entonces el Señor dijo a Josué: «No les tengas miedo, porque mañana, a esta hora, yo daré muerte a todos ellos delante de Israel. Ustedes, por su parte, romperán las patas de sus caballos e incendiarán sus carros de guerra».
7 Así que Josué partió acompañado de sus guerreros y tomó por sorpresa a sus enemigos junto a las aguas de Merón. 8 El Señor los entregó en manos de los israelitas, quienes los atacaron y persiguieron hasta la gran ciudad de Sidón, y hasta Misrefot Mayin y el valle de Mizpa al este, y no quedaron sobrevivientes. 9 Josué cumplió con todo lo que el Señor había ordenado: rompió las patas de los caballos del enemigo e incendió sus carros de guerra.
10 Al regreso Josué conquistó Jazor y mató a filo de espada a su rey, pues Jazor había sido cabecera de todos aquellos reinados. 11 Los israelitas mataron a espada todo cuanto tenía vida. Arrasaron la ciudad y le prendieron fuego.
12 Josué conquistó todas las ciudades de aquellos reinos junto con sus reyes; a estos mató a filo de espada, destruyéndolos por completo. Así obedeció Josué todo lo que Moisés, siervo del Señor, había mandado. 13 Las ciudades que estaban sobre los cerros fueron las únicas que los israelitas no quemaron, excepto Jazor, que sí fue incendiada. 14 Los israelitas tomaron como botín de guerra todas las pertenencias y el ganado de esas ciudades, pero mataron a todos los hombres a filo de espada, de modo que ninguno quedó con vida. 15 Así como el Señor había ordenado a su siervo Moisés, también Moisés se lo ordenó a Josué. Y este, por su parte, cumplió al pie de la letra todo lo que el Señor había ordenado a Moisés.
Síntesis de la conquista
16 Josué logró conquistar toda aquella tierra: la región montañosa, todo el Néguev, toda la región de Gosén, la llanura, el Arabá, la región montañosa de Israel y su llanura. 17 También se apoderó de todos los territorios, desde la montaña de Jalac que se eleva hacia Seír, hasta Baal Gad en el valle del Líbano, a las faldas del monte Hermón. Josué capturó a todos los reyes de esa región y los ejecutó, 18 después de combatir con ellos por largo tiempo. 19 Ninguna ciudad hizo tratado de ayuda mutua con los israelitas, excepto los heveos de Gabaón. A todas esas ciudades Josué las derrotó en el campo de batalla, 20 porque el Señor endureció el corazón de los enemigos para que entablaran guerra con Israel. Así serían exterminados sin compasión alguna, como el Señor había ordenado a Moisés.
21 En aquel tiempo Josué destruyó a los anaquitas del monte Hebrón, de Debir, de Anab y de la región montañosa de Judá e Israel. Habitantes y ciudades fueron arrasados por Josué. 22 Ningún anaquita quedó con vida en la tierra que ocupó el pueblo de Israel. Su presencia se redujo solo a Gaza, Gat y Asdod.
23 Así logró Josué conquistar toda aquella tierra, conforme a la orden que el Señor había dado a Moisés, y se la entregó como herencia al pueblo de Israel, según la distribución tribal. Por fin, aquella región descansó de las guerras.
Joshua 11
New International Version
Northern Kings Defeated
11 When Jabin(A) king of Hazor(B) heard of this, he sent word to Jobab king of Madon, to the kings of Shimron(C) and Akshaph,(D) 2 and to the northern kings who were in the mountains, in the Arabah(E) south of Kinnereth,(F) in the western foothills and in Naphoth Dor(G) on the west; 3 to the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites(H) and Jebusites in the hill country;(I) and to the Hivites(J) below Hermon(K) in the region of Mizpah.(L) 4 They came out with all their troops and a large number of horses and chariots—a huge army, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.(M) 5 All these kings joined forces(N) and made camp together at the Waters of Merom(O) to fight against Israel.
6 The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, because by this time tomorrow I will hand(P) all of them, slain, over to Israel. You are to hamstring(Q) their horses and burn their chariots.”(R)
7 So Joshua and his whole army came against them suddenly at the Waters of Merom and attacked them, 8 and the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel. They defeated them and pursued them all the way to Greater Sidon,(S) to Misrephoth Maim,(T) and to the Valley of Mizpah on the east, until no survivors were left. 9 Joshua did to them as the Lord had directed: He hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.
10 At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword.(U) (Hazor had been the head of all these kingdoms.) 11 Everyone in it they put to the sword. They totally destroyed[a] them,(V) not sparing anyone that breathed,(W) and he burned(X) Hazor itself.
12 Joshua took all these royal cities and their kings and put them to the sword. He totally destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.(Y) 13 Yet Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds—except Hazor, which Joshua burned. 14 The Israelites carried off for themselves all the plunder and livestock of these cities, but all the people they put to the sword until they completely destroyed them, not sparing anyone that breathed.(Z) 15 As the Lord commanded his servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and Joshua did it; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses.(AA)
16 So Joshua took this entire land: the hill country,(AB) all the Negev,(AC) the whole region of Goshen, the western foothills,(AD) the Arabah and the mountains of Israel with their foothills, 17 from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir,(AE) to Baal Gad(AF) in the Valley of Lebanon(AG) below Mount Hermon.(AH) He captured all their kings and put them to death.(AI) 18 Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long time. 19 Except for the Hivites(AJ) living in Gibeon,(AK) not one city made a treaty of peace(AL) with the Israelites, who took them all in battle. 20 For it was the Lord himself who hardened their hearts(AM) to wage war against Israel, so that he might destroy them totally, exterminating them without mercy, as the Lord had commanded Moses.(AN)
21 At that time Joshua went and destroyed the Anakites(AO) from the hill country: from Hebron, Debir(AP) and Anab,(AQ) from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua totally destroyed them and their towns. 22 No Anakites were left in Israelite territory; only in Gaza,(AR) Gath(AS) and Ashdod(AT) did any survive.
23 So Joshua took the entire land,(AU) just as the Lord had directed Moses, and he gave it as an inheritance(AV) to Israel according to their tribal divisions.(AW) Then the land had rest(AX) from war.(AY)

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.

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.
