Josue 11
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang Hasor ay nakuha at sinilab.
11 At nangyari nang mabalitaan ni (A)Jabin na hari sa (B)Hasor, na siya'y nagsugo kay Jobab na hari sa Madon, at sa hari sa Simron, at sa hari sa Achsaph,
2 At sa mga hari na nangasa hilagaan, sa lupaing maburol, at sa Araba sa timugan ng (C)Cinneroth at sa mababang lupain, at sa mga (D)kaitaasan ng Dor sa kalunuran,
3 Sa Cananeo sa silanganan at sa kalunuran at sa Amorrheo, at sa Hetheo, at sa Pherezeo, at sa (E)Jebuseo sa lupaing maburol, at sa (F)Heveo sa ibaba ng (G)Hermon, sa lupain ng (H)Mizpa.
4 At sila'y lumabas, sila at ang kanilang mga hukbo na kasama nila, maraming tao, na gaya nga ng mga buhangin na nasa baybayin ng dagat sa karamihan, na may mga kabayo at mga karo na totoong marami.
5 At ang lahat ng mga haring ito ay nagpipisan; at sila'y naparoon at humantong na magkakasama sa tubig ng Merom, upang makipaglaban sa Israel.
6 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, (I)Huwag kang matakot ng dahil sa kanila; sapagka't bukas sa ganitong oras ay ibibigay ko silang lahat na patay sa harap ng Israel: inyong (J)pipilayan ang kanilang mga kabayo, at sisilaban ng apoy ang kanilang mga (K)karo.
7 Sa gayo'y biglang naparoon si Josue, at ang buong bayang pangdigma na kasama niya, laban sa kanila sa tabi ng tubig ng Merom, at dumaluhong sila sa kanila.
8 At ibinigay sila ng Panginoon sa kamay ng Israel, at sinaktan nila, at hinabol nila sila hanggang sa malaking Sidon, at hanggang sa Misrephoth-maim, at hanggang sa libis ng Mizpa, sa dakong silanganan; at sinaktan nila sila hanggang sa wala silang iniwan sa kanila nalabi.
9 At ginawa ni Josue sa kanila ang gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon sa kaniya; kaniyang pinilayan ang kanilang mga kabayo, at sinilaban ng apoy ang kanilang mga karo.
10 At bumalik si Josue nang panahong yaon at sinakop ang Hasor, at sinugatan ng tabak ang hari niyaon: sapagka't ang Hasor ng una ay pangulo ng lahat ng mga kahariang yaon.
11 At kanilang sinugatan ng talim ng tabak ang lahat na tao na nandoon, na kanilang lubos na nilipol: walang naiwan na may hininga, at kaniyang sinilaban ng apoy ang Hasor.
12 At ang lahat ng mga bayan ng mga haring yaon at ang lahat ng mga hari ng mga yaon ay sinakop ni Josue, at sinugatan niya sila ng talim ng tabak at lubos na nilipol sila; (L)gaya ng iniutos ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon.
13 Nguni't tungkol sa mga bayang natatayo sa kanilang mga bunton, ay walang sinunog ang Israel sa mga yaon, liban sa Hasor lamang, na sinunog ni Josue.
14 At ang lahat na samsam sa mga bayang ito at ang mga hayop ay kinuha ng mga anak ni Israel na pinakasamsam para sa kanilang sarili; nguni't ang bawa't tao ay sinugatan nila ng talim ng tabak hanggang sa kanilang nalipol sila, ni hindi nagiwan sila ng anomang may hininga.
15 Kung paanong nagutos (M)ang Panginoon kay Moises na kaniyang lingkod, ay (N)gayon nagutos si Moises kay Josue: (O)at gayon ang ginawa ni Josue; wala siyang iniwang hindi yari sa lahat na iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.
16 Sa gayo'y sinakop ni Josue ang buong lupaing yaon, ang (P)lupaing maburol, at ang buong Timugan, at ang buong (Q)lupain ng Gosen, at ang mababang lupain, at ang Araba, at ang lupaing maburol ng Israel, at ang mababang lupain niyaon;
17 Mula sa bundok ng Halac na paahon sa (R)Seir, hanggang sa Baalgad sa libis ng Libano sa ibaba ng (S)bundok Hermon: at kinuha niya ang lahat nilang hari, at sinaktan niya sila at ipinapatay niya sila.
18 Si Josue ay nakipagdigmang malaong panahon sa lahat ng mga haring yaon.
19 Walang bayan na nakipagpayapaan sa mga anak ni Israel, liban (T)ang mga Heveo na mga taga Gabaon: kanilang kinuhang lahat sa pakikipagbaka.
20 Sapagka't (U)inakala nga ng Panginoon na papagmatigasin ang kanilang puso, upang pumaroon laban sa Israel sa pakikipagbaka, upang kanilang malipol silang lubos, na huwag silang magtamo ng biyaya, kundi kaniyang malipol sila, gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.
21 At naparoon si Josue nang panahong yaon at (V)nilipol ang mga Anaceo mula sa lupaing maburol, sa (W)Hebron, sa (X)Debir, sa Anab, at sa buong lupaing maburol ng Juda, at sa buong lupaing maburol ng Israel: nilipol silang lubos ni Josue sangpu ng kanilang mga bayan.
22 Walang naiwan sa mga Anaceo sa lupain ng mga anak ni Israel: sa (Y)Gaza, sa (Z)Gath, at (AA)sa Asdod lamang, nagiwan siya ng ilan.
23 Gayon sinakop ni Josue ang buong lupain (AB)ayon sa lahat na sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises; at ibinigay ni (AC)Josue na pinakamana sa Israel, (AD)ayon sa kanilang pagkakabahagi sangayon sa kanilang mga lipi. (AE)At ang lupain ay nagpahinga sa pakikipagdigma.
Joshua 11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 11
Northern Confederacy. 1 When Jabin, king of Hazor,[a] learned of this, he sent a message to Jobab, king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph, 2 and to the northern kings in the mountain regions and in the Arabah near Chinneroth, in the Shephelah, and in Naphath-dor to the west.(A) 3 These were Canaanites to the east and west, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the mountain regions, and Hivites at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.(B) 4 They came out with all their troops, an army numerous as the sands on the seashore, and with a multitude of horses and chariots.(C) 5 All these kings made a pact and together they marched to the waters of Merom,[b] where they encamped to fight against Israel.
6 The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for by this time tomorrow I will present them slain to Israel. You must hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.” 7 Joshua with his whole army came upon them suddenly at the waters of Merom and fell upon them. 8 The Lord delivered them into the power of the Israelites, who defeated them and pursued them to Greater Sidon, to Misrephoth-maim,(D) and eastward to the valley of Mizpeh. They struck them all down, leaving no survivors. 9 Joshua did to them as the Lord had commanded: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.
Conquest of Northern Canaan. 10 At that time Joshua, turning back, captured Hazor and struck down its king with the sword; for Hazor formerly was the chief of all those kingdoms. 11 He also struck down with the sword every person there, carrying out the ban, till none was left alive. Hazor itself he burned. 12 All the cities of those kings, and the kings themselves, Joshua captured and put to the sword, carrying out the ban on them, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded.(E) 13 However, Israel did not destroy by fire any of the cities built on their mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua burned. 14 All the spoil and livestock of these cities the Israelites took as plunder; but the people they put to the sword, until they had destroyed the last of them, leaving none alive. 15 As the Lord had commanded his servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and Joshua acted accordingly.(F) He left nothing undone that the Lord had commanded Moses should be done.
Survey of the Conquest. 16 So Joshua took all this land: the mountain regions, the entire Negeb, all the land of Goshen, the Shephelah, the Arabah, as well as the mountain regions and Shephelah of Israel,(G) 17 from Mount Halak that rises toward Seir(H) as far as Baal-gad in the Lebanon valley at the foot of Mount Hermon. All their kings he captured and put to death. 18 Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long time. 19 With the exception of the Hivites who lived in Gibeon, no city made peace with the Israelites; all were taken in battle.(I) 20 For it was the Lord’s doing to make their hearts obstinate to meet Israel in battle, that they might be put under the ban without mercy, and be destroyed as the Lord had commanded Moses.(J)
21 [c]At that time Joshua penetrated the mountain regions and exterminated the Anakim in Hebron,(K) Debir, Anab, the entire mountain region of Judah, and the entire mountain region of Israel. Joshua put them and their cities under the ban, 22 so that no Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites. However, some survived in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod. 23 (L)Thus Joshua took the whole land, just as the Lord had said to Moses. Joshua gave it to Israel as their heritage, apportioning it among the tribes. And the land had rest from war.[d]
