Boqorradii Waqooyi Oo Laga Adkaaday

11 Oo markuu boqorkii Xaasoor oo ahaa Yaabiin waxaas maqlay ayuu u cid diray boqorkii Maadoon oo ahaa Yoobaab, iyo boqorkii Akshaaf, iyo boqorradii jiray xagga woqooyi, kaas oo ahaa dalka buuraha leh, iyo kuwii joogay xagga ban Caraabaah oo koonfur ka xigta Kinnered, iyo xagga dooxooyinka, iyo dalka sare oo Door ee xagga galbeed jira, iyo kuwii reer Kancaan oo jiray bari iyo galbeedba, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Yebuus oo degganaa dalka buuraha leh, iyo reer Xiwi oo degganaa dalkii Misfaah oo ka hooseeyey Xermoon. Kolkaasay baxeen, iyagii iyo ciidammadoodii oo la jirayba, oo waxay ahaayeen dad badan, oo tiradoodu waxay ahayd sida cammuudda taal badda xeebteeda, waxayna wateen fardo iyo gaadhifardood aad u badan. Oo boqorradaas oo dhammu way isu yimaadeen, oo waxay wada degeen biyihii Meeroom agtooda si ay reer binu Israa'iil ula diriraan. Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Ha ka cabsan iyaga, waayo, berri hadda oo kale ayaan reer binu Israa'iil gacanta u gelin doonaa, iyagoo la wada laayay. Oo waa inaad fardahooda boqno gooysaa, oo gaadhifardoodkoodana waa inaad dab ku gubtaa. Markaasay Yashuuca iyo raggii dagaalyahannada ahaa oo dhammu biyihii Meeroom agtooda kaga soo kediyeen oo weerareen iyagii. Oo Rabbigu wuxuu iyagii geliyey gacantii reer binu Israa'iil, oo way laayeen, oo waxay u eryadeen xagga Siidoonta weyn, iyo xagga Misrefood Mayim, iyo xagga dooxadii Misfaah oo bari xigta, oo way laayeen ilaa aanay waxba ka reebin. Oo Yashuuca wuxuu ku sameeyey iyagii wixii Rabbigu u sheegay; oo fardahoodii wuu boqno gooyay, oo gaadhifardoodkoodiina dab buu ku wada gubay.

10 Oo markaasaa Yashuuca dib u noqday, oo wuxuu qabsaday Xaasoor, oo boqorkeediina wuxuu ku dilay seef; waayo, markaas ka hor Xaasoor madax bay u ahaan jirtay boqortooyooyinkaas oo dhan. 11 Oo dadkii ku jiray oo dhan waxay ku laayeen seef, wayna wada baabbi'iyeen; oo wax neefsadaa kuma hadhin, Xaasoorna dab buu ku gubay. 12 Oo Yashuuca wuxuu wada qabsaday boqorradaas magaalooyinkoodii oo dhan, iyo boqorradoodii oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku wada laayay seef, oo wuu wada baabbi'iyey; sidii uu addoonkii Rabbiga oo Muuse ahaa ku amray. 13 Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil waxba kama gubin magaalooyinkii buurahoodii ku yiil, Xaasoor mooyaane, taasna waxaa gubay Yashuuca. 14 Oo magaalooyinkaas alaabtoodii oo dhan iyo xoolahoodii oo dhanba reer binu Israa'iil way dhaceen, laakiinse nin kasta waxay ku dileen seef ilaa ay wada baabbi'iyeen, oo waxba kama ay reebin intii neefsatay oo dhan. 15 Wixii Rabbigu addoonkiisii Muuse ahaa ku amray ayuu Muusena Yashuuca ku amray, oo Yashuucana sidaasuu yeelay, oo kulli wixii Rabbigu Muuse ku amray wax aanu samayn ma jirin.

16 Oo Yashuuca wuxuu qabsaday dalkaas oo dhan, kaas oo ahaa dalkii buuraha lahaa, iyo Koonfur oo dhan, iyo dalkii Goshen oo dhan, iyo dalkii dooxada ahaa, iyo bankii Caraabaah, iyo dalkii reer binu Israa'iil oo buuraha lahaa, iyo intiisii dooxada ahayd, 17 haddii laga bilaabo Buur Haalaaq, taasoo kor u kacsan ilaa Seciir, iyo xataa tan iyo Bacal Gaad oo ku taal dooxadii Lubnaan oo ka hoosaysa Buur Xermoon; oo wuxuu wada qabsaday boqorradoodii oo dhan, oo intuu dilay buu wada laayay. 18 Oo Yashuuca wakhti dheer buu la dirirayay boqorradaas oo dhan. 19 Oo lama arag magaalo la nabadday reer binu Israa'iil, reer Xiwi oo Gibecoon degganaa mooyaane: oo dagaal bay kulligood ku wada qabsadeen. 20 Waayo, xagga Rabbiga ayay ka timid inuu qalbigooda adkeeyo, si ay dagaal ugu soo baxaan reer binu Israa'iil, oo uu dhammaantood u baabbi'iyo, oo aanay waxba inna raallinimo ka helin, laakiinse uu u wada baabbi'iyo sidii Rabbigu Muuse ku amray.

21 Oo markaasaa Yashuuca yimid, oo wuxuu reer Canaaq ka tiray dalkii buuraha lahaa, kaas oo ahaa Xebroon, iyo Debiir, iyo Canaab, iyo xaggii dalkii reer Yahuudah oo buuraha lahaa oo dhan, iyo dalkii reer binu Israa'iil oo buuraha lahaa oo dhan; oo Yashuuca dhammaan iyagii iyo magaalooyinkoodiiba wuu wada baabbi'iyey. 22 Oo dalkii reer binu Israa'iil mid reer Canaaq ahu kuma hadhin, laakiinse waxaa wuxoogaa ku hadhay Gaasa, iyo Gad, iyo Ashdood oo keliya. 23 Sidaasuu Yashuuca u wada qabsaday dalkii oo dhan, oo wuxuu wada yeelay sidii Rabbigu kula hadlay Muuse; oo Yashuuca wuxuu dalkii dhaxal u siiyey reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuu ugu qaybiyey sidii qabiilooyinkoodu ahaayeen. Oo dalkiina dagaal wuu ka nastay.

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) 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; 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) 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) All these kings joined forces(N) and made camp together at the Waters of Merom(O) to fight against Israel.

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)

So Joshua and his whole army came against them suddenly at the Waters of Merom and attacked them, 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. 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)
