¹It happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,

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

²and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,

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,

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.

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.

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

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.

⁵All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

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

⁶Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”

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.

⁷So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell on them.

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

⁸Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward. They struck them until they left them none remaining.

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.

⁹Joshua did to them as Yahweh told him. He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.

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

¹⁰Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword: for Hazor used to be the head of all those kingdoms.

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

¹¹They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burnt Hazor with fire.

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.

¹²Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded.

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.

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

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

¹⁴The children of Israel took all the spoil of these cities, with the livestock, as spoils for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They didn’t leave any who breathed.

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.

¹⁵As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses.

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.

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

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;

¹⁷from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.

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.

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

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

¹⁹There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all in battle.

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.

²⁰For it was of Yahweh 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 Yahweh commanded Moses.

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.

²¹Joshua 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
