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 came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard thereof, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to 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 to the kings that were on the north, in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights 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.

³to 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 Mizpah.

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 went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

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

⁵And all these kings met together; and they came and encamped 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 said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hock their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

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

⁷So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon 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 delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Sidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

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

⁹And Joshua did unto them as Jehovah bade him: he hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots 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 turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those 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 smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed: and he burnt Hazor 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 those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded.

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

¹³But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

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, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any that breathed.

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 did Joshua; he left nothing undone 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.

¹⁶So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill-country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;

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 mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and put them to death.

¹⁸Dlhý čas viedol Jozua vojnu so všetkými tými kráľmi.

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

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

¹⁹There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: they took all 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 it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might 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 came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

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

²²There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.

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.

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