¹And it came to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heard [this], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

¹¶ Na, i te rongonga o Ihapini kingi o Hatoro, ka tono tangata ia ki a Iopapa kingi o Marono, ki te kingi o Himirono, ki te kingi hoki o Akahapa,

²and to the kings that were northward in the mountains, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and on the upland of Dor on the west,

²Ki nga kingi ano hoki i te raki, ki era i nga maunga, i te mania hoki ki te tonga o Kinerota, i te whenua raorao, a i nga hiwi o Roro ki te hauauru,

³to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

³Ki te Kanaani i te rawhiti me te hauauru, ki te Amori, ki te Hiti, ki te Perihi, ki te Iepuhi i te whenua pukepuke, ki te Hiwi hoki i raro o Heremona i te whenua o Mihipa.

⁴And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a people numerous as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

⁴Na ka haere mai, me a ratou ope katoa, he tini te tangata, me te onepu i te taha o te moana te tokomaha, me nga hoiho, me nga hariata, tona tini.

⁵And all these kings met together, and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

⁵Na ka huihui enei kingi katoa; a ka haere mai ratou, ka noho huihui ki nga wai o Meromo, ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira.

⁶And Jehovah said to Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow about this time will I give them all up slain before Israel: their horses shalt thou hough, and thou shalt burn their chariots with fire.

⁶Na ko te meatanga a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Kei wehi i a ratou: kia penei hoki apopo ka hoatu katoa ratou e ahau, mate rawa, ki a Iharaira: me whakangonge a ratou hoiho, me tahu hoki a ratou hariata ki te ahi.

⁷And Joshua, and all the people of war with him, came upon them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them.

⁷Na huakina tatatia ana ratou e Hohua ratou ko te hunga hapai pakanga katoa ki nga wai o Meromo; heoi kokiri ana ratou ki a ratou.

⁸And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and to Misrephoth-maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward, and smote them until none were left remaining to them.

⁸Na homai ana ratou e Ihowa ki te ringa o Iharaira, a patua iho ratou, a whaia ana e ratou a tae noa ki Hairona nui, ki Mihirepoto Maimi, ki te raorao hoki o Mihipe whaka te rawhiti; a patupatua ana ratou, kahore rawa he morehu i waiho kia toe.

⁹And Joshua did to them as Jehovah had said to him: he houghed their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.

⁹A rite tonu ta Hohua i mea ai ki a ratou ki ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a ia: i whakangongea e ia a ratou hoiho, i tahuna hoki a ratou hariata ki te ahi.

¹⁰And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword; for Hazor was in times past the head of all those kingdoms.

¹⁰¶ A i taua wa ka tahuri a Hohua, a horo ana i a ia a Hatoro, patua iho hoki e ia tona kingi ki te hoari: ko Hatoro hoki te upoko o aua kingitanga katoa i mua.

¹¹And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, destroying them utterly: there was not any left to breathe; and he burned Hazor with fire.

¹¹Na patua iho e ratou nga mea ora katoa o reira ki te mata o te hoari a poto noa: kahore i mahue tetahi mea whai manawa: i tahuna hoki e ia a Hatoro ki te ahi.

¹²And all the cities of those kings and all their kings did Joshua take; and he smote them with the edge of the sword, destroying them utterly, as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded.

¹²Na i riro katoa i a Hohua nga pa katoa o era kingi, me nga kingi katoa o reira, a patua iho e ia ki te mata o te hoari a poto noa; i pera ano ia me ta Mohi, me ta te pononga a Ihowa i whakahau ai.

¹³Only, all the cities that stood still upon their hills Israel did not burn, save Hazor alone, [which] Joshua burned.

¹³Ko nga pa ia i tu i runga i nga pukepuke, kihai ena i tahuna e Iharaira, heoi ano ko Hatoro anake; i tahuna tena e Hohua.

¹⁴And all the spoil of these cities and the cattle the children of Israel took as prey to themselves; only, they smote all the men with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them: they left none that breathed.

¹⁴Otiia ko nga taonga parakete katoa o aua pa, me nga kararehe, i tangohia e nga tama a Iharaira ma ratou; ko nga tangata katoa ia i patua ki te mata o te hoari a poto noa ratou, kihai i mahue tetahi mea whai manawa.

¹⁵As Jehovah had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua: he let nothing fail of all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.

¹⁵¶ Ko ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki tana pononga ki a Mohi, ko ta Mohi ano tera i whakahau ai ki a Hohua; a koia ta Hohua i mea ai; kihai i kapea e ia tetahi o nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Mohi.

¹⁶And Joshua took all that land, the mountain and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and its lowland;

¹⁶Na riro ana i a Hohua taua whenua katoa, te whenua pukepuke, me nga wahi katoa o te tonga, me te whenua katoa o Kohena, me te raorao, me te mania, me te whenua pukepuke o Iharaira, me tona raorao;

¹⁷from the smooth mountain, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-Gad in the valley of Lebanon, at the foot of mount Hermon; and he took all their kings, and smote them, and put them to death.

¹⁷Atu i Maunga Haraka, e anga nei whakarunga ki Heira, a tae noa ki Paarakara i te raorao o Repanona, i raro iho o Maunga Heremona: a, ko o ratou kingi katoa, i mau i a ia, a patua iho, whakamatea iho.

¹⁸Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

¹⁸He maha nga ra i whawhai ai a Hohua ki aua kingi katoa.

¹⁹There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites who dwelt at Gibeon; they took all in battle.

¹⁹Na kahore he pa i hohou rongo ki nga tama a Iharaira, heoi anake ko nga Hiwi i noho i Kipeono: i riro katoa i a ratou i runga i te whawhai.

²⁰For it was of Jehovah that their heart was hardened, to meet Israel in battle, that they might be utterly destroyed, and that there might be no favour shewn to them, but that they might be destroyed, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

²⁰Na Ihowa hoki i whakapakeke o ratou ngakau, kia turia ai e ratou a Iharaira ki te riri, kia tino whakangaromia ai ratou e ia, kia kore ai hoki ratou e tohungia, engari kia whakangaromia ratou e ia, kia peratia me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

²¹And Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountain of Judah, and from all the mountain of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly, with their cities.

²¹I taua wa ano ka haere atu a Hohua, a huna iho e ia nga Anakimi o nga maunga, o Heperona, o Repiri, o Anapa, o nga maunga katoa o Hura, o nga maunga katoa ano hoki o Iharaira: i tino whakangaromia rawatia ratou e Hohua me o ratou pa.

²²There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel; only at Gazah, at Gath, and at Ashdod there remained.

²²Kihai tetahi o nga Anakimi i mahue i te whenua o nga tama a Iharaira: toe ake ko etahi anake i Kaha, i Kata, i Aharoro.

²³And Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

²³Na ka riro i a Hohua te whenua katoa, ka pera me nga mea katoa i korerotia e Ihowa ki a Mohi; a hoatu ana e Hohua hei kainga tupu mo Iharaira, he mea whakarite ki o ratou wehenga, ki o ratou iwi. Na ka takoto marie te whenua i te whawhai.
