¹A stalo sa, keď počul o tom Jabin, kráľ Chácora, že poslal posolstvo k Jobábovi, kráľovi Mádona, a ku kráľovi Šimrona a ku kráľovi Achšafa,

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,

²jako aj ku kráľom, ktorí boli od severa na vrchoch i na rovine južne od Kineróta i na nížine i na výšine Dóra od mora, na západe,

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,

³ku Kananejovi na východe i na západe i k Amorejovi, Hetejovi, Ferezejovi, Jebuzejovi na vrchoch a k Hevejovi pod Hermonom v zemi Micpa.

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 —

⁴A vyšli oni aj všetky ich vojská s nimi, mnoho ľudstva, jako piesku, ktorý je na brehu mora čo do množstva, i koní i vozov veľmi mnoho.

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;

⁵A síduc sa všetci tí kráľovia prišli a táborili spoločne pri vodách Mérom, aby bojovali proti Izraelovi.

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

⁶A Hospodin riekol Jozuovi: Neboj sa ich, lebo zajtra o tomto čase ich ja vydám všetkých, aby boli pobití pred Izraelom. Ich koňom popodrezuješ žily a ich vozy spáliš ohňom.

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.`

⁷A tak prišiel na nich Jozua i všetok bojovný ľud s ním ku vodám Mérom neočakávane a dopadli na nich.

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

⁸A Hospodin ich vydal do ruky Izraela, a bili ich a honili ich až po veľký Sidon a až po Misrefót-májim a až po údolie Micpe na východ, a bili ich, až im neponechali nikoho živého.

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;

⁹A Jozua im učinil tak, ako mu rozkázal Hospodin. Ich koňom popodrezoval žily a ich vozy spálil ohňom.

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

¹⁰A Jozua sa vrátil toho času a zaujal Chácor a jeho kráľa zabil mečom, lebo Chácor bol predtým hlavou všetkých tých kráľovstiev.

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;

¹¹A pobili všetky duše, ktoré boly v ňom, ostrím meča zarieknuc ich na záhubu; nezostalo niktorej duše živej, a Chácor spálil ohňom.

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;

¹²A všetky mestá tých kráľov a všetkých ich kráľov zaujal Jozua a pobil ich ostrím meča zarieknuc ich na záhubu, tak ako prikázal Mojžiš, služobník Hospodinov.

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.

¹³Ale z miest, ktoré stály na svojom návrší, nespálil Izrael niktorého; iba Chácor samotný spálil Jozua.

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

¹⁴A všetku korisť tých miest i dobytok ulúpili sebe synovia Izraelovi. Len ľudí bili všetkých ostrím meča, dokiaľ ich nevyhladili. Neponechali niktorej duše.

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.

¹⁵Jako prikázal Hospodin Mojžišovi, svojmu služobníkovi, tak prikázal i Mojžiš Jozuovi, a tak učinil Jozua; nenechal nevykonaného ani slova zo všetkého toho, čo prikázal Hospodin Mojžišovi.

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.

¹⁶A tedy vzal Jozua celú tú zem, vrchy aj celý juh i celú zem Góšen i nížinu i rovinu i pohorie Izraelovo i jeho nížiny.

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,

¹⁷Od Lysého vrchu, ktorý sa tiahne hore do Seira až po Baalgáda na doline Libanona pod vrchom Hermonom, i všetkých ich kráľov zajal a zbil ich a pobil ich.

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.

¹⁸Dlhý čas viedol Jozua vojnu so všetkými tými kráľmi.

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

¹⁹Nebolo mesta, ktoré by bolo učinilo pokoj so synmi Izraelovými krome Heveja, obyvateľov to Gibeona; všetky ostatné pobrali v boji.

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;

²⁰Lebo to bolo od Hospodina, aby zatvrdili svoje srdce a vyšli bojovať s Izraelom nato, aby ich úplne vyhubil, zarieknutých na záhubu, aby nemali zľutovania, ale aby ich zahladil, tak ako prikázal Hospodin Mojžišovi.

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.

²¹V tom čase prišiel Jozua a vyplienil Enákov s vrchov, z Hebrona, z Debíra, z Anába a so všetkých vrchov Judska jako i so všetkých vrchov Izraelska, s ich mestami ich vyhladil Jozua, zarieknutých na záhubu.

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.

²²Nezostalo niktorého z Enákov v zemi synov Izraelových, iba v Gaze, v Gáte a v Ašdóte pozostali.

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.

²³A tedy vzal Jozua celú zem podľa všetkého toho, čo hovoril Hospodin Mojžišovi, a Jozua ju dal Izraelovi do dedičstva podľa ich údelov po ich pokoleniach. A tak mala zem pokoj od vojny.

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.
