Joshua 11

1 Now when Jabin king of Hazor heard about these things, he sent word to Jobab king of Madon; to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph;

1 夏琐王耶宾听见这些消息，就派人去见玛顿王约巴、伸仑王、押煞王，

2 to the kings of the north in the mountains, in the Arabah south of Chinnereth, in the foothills, and in Naphoth-dor to the west;

2 还有北方山区、基尼烈南面的亚拉巴、西部丘陵和多珥高原的各王，

3 to the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

3 以及东西两面的迦南人、山区的亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、耶布斯人和黑门山麓米斯巴地区的希未人。

4 So these kings came out with all their armies, a multitude as numerous as the sand on the seashore, along with a great number of horses and chariots.

4 这些王便率领自己的军队，带着许多马匹和战车倾巢出动，人数多如海边的沙。

5 All these kings joined forces and encamped at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.

5 他们在米伦河会师，一同扎营，要跟以色列人交战。

6 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for by this time tomorrow I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn up their chariots.”

6 耶和华对约书亚说：“你不要怕他们。明天这个时候，我必把他们全部交给以色列人杀灭，你要砍断他们马匹的蹄筋，烧毁他们的战车。”

7 So by the waters of Merom, Joshua and his whole army came upon them suddenly and attacked them,

7 于是，约书亚率领所有的军兵在米伦河边突袭敌军。

8 and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who struck them down and pursued them all the way to Greater Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. They struck them down, leaving no survivors.

8 耶和华把敌军交在以色列人手中，以色列人打败了他们，追杀他们直到西顿大城、米斯利弗·玛音和东面的米斯巴谷，全部消灭了他们，一个没留。

9 Joshua treated them as the LORD had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned up their chariots.

9 约书亚照耶和华的吩咐，砍断他们马匹的蹄筋，烧毁他们的战车。

10 At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms.

10 然后，约书亚回师攻陷夏琐，用刀杀了夏琐王。夏琐曾经在诸国中为首。

11 The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword, devoting them to destruction. Nothing that breathed remained, and Joshua burned down Hazor itself.

11 以色列人用刀杀了城内的人，一个没留。约书亚放火烧了夏琐。

12 Joshua captured all these kings and their cities and put them to the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Moses the LORD’s servant had commanded.

12 约书亚攻占了诸王所有的城池，擒获诸王。他照耶和华的仆人摩西的吩咐，用刀杀死诸王，毁掉城池。

13 Yet Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua burned.

13 以色列人只烧毁了夏琐，没有烧建在山丘上的其他城池。

14 The Israelites took for themselves all the plunder and livestock of these cities, but they put all the people to the sword until they had completely destroyed them, not sparing anyone who breathed.

14 他们用刀杀掉城内所有的居民，一个没留，掳掠了城内所有的财物和牲畜。

15 As the LORD had commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua. That is what Joshua did, leaving nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

15 耶和华怎样吩咐祂的仆人摩西，摩西也怎样吩咐约书亚，约书亚都一一照办，没有遗漏任何耶和华吩咐摩西的事。

16 So Joshua took this entire region: the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah, and the mountains of Israel and their foothills,

16 约书亚占领了整个地区，包括山区、南地、歌珊全境、丘陵、亚拉巴和以色列山区及平原，

17 from Mount Halak, which rises toward 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.

17 从哈拉山起到西珥，直到黑门山山麓黎巴嫩山谷的巴力·迦得城。约书亚擒获了各城的王，杀死了他们。

18 Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long period of time.

18 约书亚跟这些地区的诸王争战了很久。

19 No city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites living in Gibeon; all others were taken in battle.

19 除了基遍的希未人以外，其他没有一城向以色列人求和，以色列人全部攻占这些城。

20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts to engage Israel in battle, so that they would be set apart for destruction and would receive no mercy, being annihilated as the LORD had commanded Moses.

20 原来耶和华使他们的心刚硬，跟以色列人作战，好让他们遭受无情的毁灭，正如耶和华对摩西的吩咐。

21 At that time Joshua proceeded to eliminate the Anakim from the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction, along with their cities.

21 那时，约书亚又出兵把希伯仑、底璧、亚拿伯、以色列和犹大各山区的亚衲人和他们的城邑全部毁灭。

22 No Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod did any survive.

22 除了在迦萨、迦特和亚实突有一些残余之外，以色列境内没有亚衲人了。

23 So Joshua took the entire land, in keeping with all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to the allotments to their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.

23 约书亚照耶和华对摩西的指示，夺取整个地区，把土地按照支派分给以色列人作产业。于是境内国泰民安，没有战事了。
