Josue 11
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Napildi sa Israel ang mga Dapit sa Amihan
11 Sa dihang nabalitaan ni Jabin nga hari sa Hazor ang kadaogan sa mga Israelinhon, nagpadala siya ug mensahe ngadto niini nga mga hari: kang Jobab nga hari sa Madon, sa mga hari sa Shimron ug Acshaf, 2 sa mga hari sa kabukiran sa amihan, sa mga hari sa Kapatagan sa Jordan[a] sa habagatang bahin sa Dagat sa Galilea,[b] sa mga hari sa kabungtoran sa kasadpan,[c] sa mga hari sa kabaybayonan sa Dor sa kasadpan, 3 sa mga hari sa mga Canaanhon sa sidlakan ug sa kasadpan sa Suba sa Jordan, sa mga hari sa mga Amorihanon, Hitihanon, Perisihanon, Jebusihanon nga nagapuyo sa kabukiran, ug sa mga hari sa mga Hibihanon nga nagapuyo sa ubos sa Bukid sa Hermon sa yuta sa Mizpa. 4 Nagaabot kining tanang mga hari uban sa ilang mga kasundalohan nga daw sama kadaghan sa balas sa baybayon. Labihan usab kadaghan sa ilang mga kabayo ug mga karwahe. 5 Naghiusa kini nga mga hari ug nagkampo sa daplin sa Sapa sa Merom aron sa pagpakiggira sa Israel.
6 Miingon ang Ginoo kang Josue, “Ayaw kamo kahadlok kanila, kay ugma sa ingon niining orasa, pamatyon ko silang tanan alang sa Israel. Pamiangi ninyo ang ilang mga kabayo ug pangsunoga ang ilang mga karwahe.” 7 Busa kalit nga misulong si Josue uban ang iyang mga sundalo didto sa Sapa sa Merom. 8 Ug gipadaog sila sa Ginoo batok sa ilang mga kaaway. Gigukod nila ang ilang mga kaaway hangtod sa Bantogan nga Sidon ug sa Misrefot Maim, ug hangtod sa kapatagan sa Mizpa sa sidlakan. Nahurot gayod nilag patay ang ilang mga kaaway. 9 Ug gihimo ni Josue kanila ang gisugo sa Ginoo: gipamiangan niya ang ilang mga kabayo ug gipangsunog ang ilang mga karwahe.
10 Pagkahuman niini, mibalik silang Josue sa Hazor ug giilog kini, ug gipatay ang hari niini. (Ang Hazor mao ang labing gamhanan sa mga gingharian niadtong panahona.) 11 Gipamatay usab nila ang tanang mga lumulupyo sa Hazor. Gilaglag nila kini sa hingpit, ug wala gayoy nahibiling buhi. Ug gisunog nila ang lungsod.
12 Nailog nila ni Josue kining tanang mga lungsod. Gipatay nila ang tanang mga lumulupyo niini, lakip ang ilang mga hari. Gilaglag nila kini sa hingpit sumala sa gisugo ni Moises nga alagad sa Ginoo. 13 Apan wala sunoga sa mga Israelinhon ang mga lungsod nga natukod sa bungtod, gawas lang sa Hazor nga gisunog ni Josue. 14 Gipanguha sa mga Israelinhon ang tanang kabtangan ug mga kahayopan niini nga mga lungsod. Apan gipamatay nila ang tanang mga lumulupyo niini, ug wala gayoy nahibiling buhi. 15 Mao kadto ang gimando sa Ginoo kang Moises, ug gimando usab kini ni Moises kang Josue. Ug gituman gayod ni Josue ang tanang gisugo sa Ginoo kang Moises.
Gisakop ni Josue ang Tibuok nga Yuta
16 Gisakop ni Josue ang tibuok yuta: ang kabukiran, ang tanang kayutaan sa Negev, ang tanang kayutaan sa Goshen, ang kabungtoran sa kasadpan,[d] ang Kapatagan sa Jordan,[e] ug ang mga bukid ug kapatagan sa Israel. 17 Ang teritoryo nga nasakop niya naggikan sa Bukid sa Halak patungas sa Seir hangtod sa Baal Gad, sa Kapatagan sa Lebanon sa tiilan sa Bukid sa Hermon. Gidakop ug gipamatay niya ang mga hari niining mga dapita 18 human sa taas nga panahon nila nga pagpakiggira. 19 Walay laing nakighigala sa mga Israelinhon niining dapita gawas lang sa mga Hibihanon nga nagapuyo sa Gibeon. Ang uban, gipildi nila sa gira. 20 Kay gipagahi sa Ginoo ang ilang kasingkasing aron makig-away sila sa mga Israelinhon. Niining paagiha gipamatay sila sa walay kalooy ug nalaglag sila sa hingpit sumala sa gisugo sa Ginoo kang Moises.
21 Niadtong panahona usab, gisulong ni Josue ang mga kaliwat ni Anak nga nagapuyo sa mga bukid sa Hebron, Debir, Anab, ug sa tanan nga kabukiran sa Juda ug Israel. Gilaglag sila ni Josue sa hingpit apil ang ilang mga lungsod. 22 Walay mga kaliwat ni Anak nga nahibilin sa teritoryo sa mga Israelinhon gawas lang sa Gaza, Gat, ug sa Ashdod.
23 Busa nasakop ni Josue ang tibuok nga yuta, sumala sa gisugo sa Ginoo kang Moises. Gihatag niya kini nga yuta ngadto sa mga Israelinhon isip panulondon. Gibahin-bahin nila kini ngadto sa matag tribo.
Niadtong higayona naundang na ang gira sa yuta sa mga Israelinhon.

Conquest of Northern Cities
11 When King Jabin of Hazor heard this news, he sent a message to: King Jobab of Madon, the kings of Shimron and Achshaph, 2 and the kings of the north in the hill country, the Arabah south of Chinnereth,(A) the Judean foothills,[a] and the Slopes of Dor[b] to the west, 3 the Canaanites in the east and west, the Amorites, Hethites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.(B) 4 They went out with all their armies—a multitude as numerous as the sand on the seashore(C)—along with a vast number of horses and chariots. 5 All these kings joined forces; they came and camped together at the Waters of Merom to attack Israel.(D)
6 The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for at this time tomorrow I will cause all of them to be killed before Israel.(E) You are to hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.”(F) 7 So Joshua and all his troops surprised them at the Waters of Merom and attacked them. 8 The Lord handed them over to Israel, and they struck them down, pursuing them as far as greater Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and to the east as far as the Valley of Mizpeh.(G) They struck them down, leaving no survivors.(H) 9 Joshua treated them as the Lord had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.
10 At that time Joshua turned back, captured Hazor, and struck down its king with the sword, because Hazor had formerly been the leader of all these kingdoms. 11 They struck down everyone in it with the sword, completely destroying(I) them; he left no one alive. Then he burned Hazor.
12 Joshua captured all these kings and their cities and struck them down with the sword. He completely destroyed them, as Moses the Lord’s servant(J) had commanded. 13 However, Israel did not burn any of the cities that stood on their mounds except Hazor, which Joshua burned. 14 The Israelites plundered all the spoils and cattle of these cities for themselves. But they struck down every person with the sword until they had annihilated them, leaving no one alive. 15 Just as the Lord had commanded his servant Moses, Moses commanded Joshua. That is what Joshua did, leaving nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
Summary of Conquests
16 So Joshua took all this land—the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen,(K) the foothills, the Arabah, and the hill country of Israel with its foothills— 17 from Mount Halak,(L) which ascends to Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and struck them down, putting them to death.(M) 18 Joshua waged war with all these kings for a long time. 19 No city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites who inhabited Gibeon;(N) all of them were taken in battle. 20 For it was the Lord’s intention to harden their hearts,(O) so that they would engage Israel in battle, be completely destroyed without mercy, and be annihilated, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
21 At that time Joshua proceeded to exterminate the Anakim(P) from the hill country—Hebron, Debir, Anab—all the hill country of Judah and of Israel. Joshua completely destroyed them with their cities. 22 No Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites, except for some remaining in Gaza, Gath,(Q) and Ashdod.
23 So Joshua took the entire land, in keeping with all that the Lord had told Moses. Joshua then gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal allotments. After this, the land had rest from war.(R)
Joshua 11
Amplified Bible
Northern Canaan Taken
11 Then when Jabin king of Hazor heard [of Israel’s other victories] he sent word 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 north, in the hill country, and in the Arabah [the plain] south of Chinnereth (the Sea of Galilee) and in the lowland and on the hills of Dor on the west; 3 to the Canaanite in the east and in the west, and to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite at the foot of [Mount] Hermon in the land of Mizpeh. 4 They went out, they and all their armies with them, as many people as the sand on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots. 5 So all these kings met and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
6 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow by this time I am going to hand over all of them slain [by the sword] to Israel; you shall hamstring (disable) their horses and set fire to their chariots.” 7 So Joshua and all the people of war with him came against them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and attacked them. 8 The Lord handed them over to Israel, who struck them and pursued them as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh; they struck them down until no survivor was left. 9 Joshua did to them as the Lord had told him; he hamstrung (disabled) their horses and set fire to their chariots.
10 At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and struck its king dead with the sword; for Hazor previously was the head of all these kingdoms. 11 They struck all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was no one left who breathed. And he set fire to Hazor. 12 Joshua captured all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them, just as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.(A) 13 But Israel did not burn any of the cities that stood [walled and fortified] on their mounds, except Hazor alone, which Joshua burned. 14 The sons of Israel took as their plunder all the spoil of these cities and the cattle; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They left no one [a]alive. 15 Just as the Lord had commanded Moses His servant, so Moses had commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
16 So Joshua took all this land: the hill country, all the Negev (South country), all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah [plain], the hill country of Israel and its lowland 17 from Mount Halak, that rises toward Seir [in the south], even as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon [in the north]. He captured all their kings and struck them and put them to death. 18 Joshua waged war with all these kings [b]a long time [at least five years]. 19 There was no city that made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took all the others in battle. 20 For it was [the purpose] of the Lord to harden their hearts, to meet Israel in battle so that Israel would utterly destroy them, that they would receive no mercy, but that Israel would destroy them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
21 Then Joshua came at that time and cut off the [c]Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab and from all the hill country of Judah and all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities. 22 There were no Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod [of Philistia] some remained. 23 So Joshua took the whole land [of Canaan], according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses, and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. So the land had rest from war.
