¹约书亚战胜北方联盟

¹And it cometh to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heareth, that he sendeth unto Jobab king of Madon, and unto the king of Shimron, and unto the king of Achshaph,

²以及住在北方山地、基尼烈南边的亚拉巴高原和西边多珥高地的众王，

²and unto the kings who [are] on the north in the hill-country, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the low country, and in the elevations of Dor, on the west,

³又去见在东方和西方的迦南人，住在山地的亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人和耶布斯人，以及米斯巴地黑门山下的希未人。

³[to] the Canaanite on the east, and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh —

⁴这些王与他们所有的军队都一同出来，人数众多，好像海边的沙，还有很多马匹和车辆。

⁴and they go out, they and all their camps with them, a people numerous, as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore for multitude, and horse and charioteer very many;

⁵这些王都联合起来，来到米伦水边，在那里一起安营，要与以色列人作战。

⁵and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

⁶耶和华对约书亚说：“你不要因他们惧怕，因为明天这个时候，我必使他们全数在以色列人面前被杀；你要砍断他们的马蹄筋，焚烧他们的车辆。”

⁶And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Be not afraid of their presence, for to-morrow about this time I am giving all of them wounded before Israel; their horses thou dost hough, and their chariots burn with fire.`

⁷于是约书亚和所有与他在一起能作战的人，在米伦水边突然迫近，攻打他们。

⁷And Joshua cometh, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fall on them;

⁸耶和华把他们交在以色列人手里，以色列人就击杀他们，追赶他们直到西顿大城、米斯利弗．玛音，以及在东边的米斯巴谷；以色列人击杀他们，没有留下一个。

⁸and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of Israel, and they smite them and pursue them unto the great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-Maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they smite them, till he hath not left to them a remnant;

⁹约书亚照着耶和华吩咐他的对待他们；他砍断了他们的马蹄筋，用火烧了他们的车辆。

⁹and Joshua doth to them as Jehovah said to him; their horses he hath houghed, and their chariots burnt with fire.

¹⁰那时，约书亚转回来，占领了夏琐，用刀击杀了夏琐王，因为夏琐在这些国中素来是为首的。

¹⁰And Joshua turneth back at that time, and captureth Hazor, and its king he hath smitten by the sword; for Hazor formerly [is] head of all these kingdoms;

¹¹以色列人用刀击杀了城中所有的人，把他们完全毁灭；有气息的一个也没有留下；约书亚又放火烧了夏琐。

¹¹and they smite every person who [is] in it by the mouth of the sword; he hath devoted — he hath not left any one breathing, and Hazor he hath burnt with fire;

¹²约书亚夺取了那些王的一切城镇，又擒获那些城镇所有的王；他用刀击杀了他们，把一切完全毁灭，正如耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐的。

¹²and all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, hath Joshua captured, and he smiteth them by the mouth of the sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded.

¹³至于那些立在土丘上的城，除了夏琐以外，以色列人都没有焚烧；约书亚只烧了夏琐。

¹³Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel hath not burned them, save Hazor only, [it] hath Joshua burnt;

¹⁴那些城所有的战利品和牲畜，以色列人都据为己有；只是把所有的人都用刀击杀了，直到把他们杀尽；有气息的，他们没有留下一个。

¹⁴and all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, have the sons of Israel spoiled for themselves; only, every human being they have smitten by the mouth of the sword, till their destroying them; they have not left any one breathing.

¹⁵耶和华怎样吩咐他的仆人摩西，摩西就怎样吩咐约书亚，约书亚也照样行了；耶和华吩咐摩西的一切，约书亚没有一样不办妥的。

¹⁵As Jehovah commanded Moses His servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so hath Joshua done; he hath not turned aside a thing of all that Jehovah commanded Moses.

¹⁶约书亚攻取各地这样，约书亚夺取了那整个地区，就是山地、整个南地、歌珊全地、高原、亚拉巴、以色列山地和山地的高原；

¹⁶And Joshua taketh all this land: the hill-country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, even the hill-country of Israel and its low lands,

¹⁷从延伸至西珥的哈拉山，直到黑门山下黎巴嫩谷的巴力．迦得；约书亚擒获了那些地方所有的王，把他们都杀死了。

¹⁷from the mount of Halak, which is going up [to] Seir, and unto Baal-Gad, in the valley of Lebanon, under mount Hermon; and all their kings he hath captured, and he smiteth them, and putteth them to death.

¹⁸约书亚和这些王作战了很多的日子。

¹⁸Many days hath Joshua made with all these kings war;

¹⁹除了住在基遍的希未人以外，没有一座城与以色列人议和的；所有其他的城都是以色列人作战夺取的。

¹⁹there hath not been a city which made peace with the sons of Israel save the Hivite, inhabitants of Gibeon; the whole they have taken in battle;

²⁰因为这是出于耶和华的旨意，他使他们心里刚硬，要与以色列人交战，好把他们完全毁灭，使他们不蒙怜悯，却要被消灭，正如耶和华吩咐摩西的。

²⁰for from Jehovah it hath been to strengthen their heart, to meet in battle with Israel, in order to devote them, so that they have no grace, but in order to destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

²¹那时约书亚来了，把在山地、希伯仑、底璧、亚拿伯、整个犹大山地、整个以色列山地所有的亚衲族人都剪除了。约书亚把他们与他们的城镇都完全毁灭了。

²¹And Joshua cometh at that time, and cutteth off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, even from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; with their cities hath Joshua devoted them.

²²在以色列人的境内，没有留下一个亚衲族人，只在迦萨、迦特和亚实突还有余下的。

²²There hath not been left Anakim in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, were they left.

²³这样，约书亚照着耶和华吩咐摩西的一切话，夺取了那全地；于是，约书亚按着以色列的支派把地分给他们作产业。全地也就止息了战争。

²³And Joshua taketh the whole of the land, according to all that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, and Joshua giveth it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes; and the land hath rest from war.
