¹Ko pa je slišal o tem Jabin, kralj v Hazorju, pošlje k Jobabu, kralju v Madonu, in h kralju v Simronu in h kralju v Aksafu

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,

²in h kraljem, ki so bili proti severu po gorovju in v nižini južno od Kinerota in po nižavah in po Dorskih višinah proti morju,

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,

³h Kanaancem na vzhodni in zahodni strani in k Amorejcu, Hetejcu, Ferizejcu in Jebusejcu v gorah in k Hevejcu pod goro Hermonom v deželi Micpi.

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 —

⁴In ti se vzdignejo in vsa njih vojna krdela ž njimi, velika množina ljudstva kakor peska na morskem bregu, tudi silno veliko konj in voz.

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;

⁵Vsi ti kralji se zbero in pridejo ter se utabore pri vodi v Meromu, da bi se bojevali z Izraelom.

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

⁶A GOSPOD reče Jozuetu: Ne bodi te strah spričo njih, zakaj jutri obsore ti jih izročim, da bodo vsi pobiti pred Izraelom; konje jim ohromi in njih vozove sežgi z ognjem.

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.`

⁷In Jozue pride nagloma nadnje in ž njim vsi vojščaki k vodi Meromu, in planejo nadnje.

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

⁸In GOSPOD jih je dal Izraelu v roko, in porazijo jih ter jih pode do velikega Sidona in do Misrefotmajima in do doline Micpe proti jutru; in pobijejo jih, da jim ni ostalo nikogar.

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;

⁹In Jozue jim stori, kakor mu je ukazal GOSPOD: ohromil jim je konje in sežgal vozove z ognjem.

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

¹⁰In Jozue se povrne tisti čas in vzame Hazor in udari kralja njegovega z mečem; kajti Hazor je bil poprej glava vsem tem kraljestvom.

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;

¹¹In pobijejo vse ljudi, kar jih je bilo v njem, z ostrino meča, izročivši jih prokletju; ostalo ni ničesar, kar je dihalo, in sežgal je Hazor z ognjem.

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;

¹²In vsa mesta tistih kraljev in vse njih kralje zajame Jozue in jih udari z ostrino meča, izročivši jih prokletju, kakor je zapovedal Mojzes, hlapec GOSPODOV.

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.

¹³Samo tistih mest, ki so stala na hribih, ni sežgal Izrael nobenega, razen Hazorja, tisto je sežgal Jozue.

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

¹⁴In ves plen teh mest in živino so razdelili sinovi Izraelovi med seboj, ali vsakega človeka so udarili z ostrino meča, dokler jih niso zatrli, in pustili niso ničesar, kar je dihalo.

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.

¹⁵Kakor je GOSPOD zapovedal Mojzesu, hlapcu svojemu, tako je Mojzes zapovedal Jozuetu; in tako je storil Jozue, ničesar ni pustil nestorjenega od vsega, kar je GOSPOD zapovedal Mojzesu.

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.

¹⁶Tako se je Jozue polastil vse te dežele, gorovja in vse južne strani in vse Gosenske dežele in ravnine in nižine in Izraelovega gorovja z njegovo nižavo;

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 Gole gore, ki se vzdiguje proti Seiru, prav do Baalgada v Libanonski dolini pod goro Hermonom; in zajame vse njih kralje in jih udari ter usmrti.

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.

¹⁸Dosti časa se je Jozue vojskoval z vsemi temi kralji.

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

¹⁹Ni bilo mesta, ki bi se bilo v miru vdalo sinovom Izraelovim, razen Hevejskih, ki so prebivali v Gibeonu; vsa druga so zavzeli z bojem.

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;

²⁰Kajti od GOSPODA je bilo, da se je otrdilo njih srce za boj z Izraelom; zato da se izroče prokletju in jim ne bo milosti, ampak da bodo iztrebljeni, kakor je GOSPOD zapovedal Mojzesu.

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.

²¹In Jozue je prišel tisti čas in zatrl Enakime z gorovja, iz Hebrona, iz Debirja, iz Anaba in z vsega Judovskega gorovja in z vsega Izraelskega gorovja, in izročil jih je prokletju ž njih mesti.

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.

²²Nobenega teh Enakimov ni ostalo v deželi Izraelovih sinov, samo v Gazi, v Gatu in v Asdodu jih je preostalo nekaj.Tako je zavzel Jozue vso deželo, skladno z vsem, kar je GOSPOD govoril Mojzesu; in Jozue jo je dal Izraelu v dediščino, vsakemu rodu njegov del. In počivala je dežela od vojne.

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.

²³Tako je zavzel Jozue vso deželo, skladno z vsem, kar je GOSPOD govoril Mojzesu; in Jozue jo je dal Izraelu v dediščino, vsakemu rodu njegov del. In počivala je dežela od vojne.

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.
