1And when Jabin king of Asor had heard these things, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Semeron, and to the king of Achsaph:Le quali cose avendo udito Jabin re di Asor, mandò ambasciatori a Jobab re di Madon, e al re di Semeron, e al re di Achsaph:VVHICH thinges when Iabin the king of Asor had heard, he sent to Iobab the king of Madon, and to the king of Semeron, and to the king of Achsaph:Quæ cum audisset Jabin rex Asor, misit ad Jobab regem Madon, et ad regem Semeron, atque ad regem Achsaph: 2And to the kings of the north, that dwelt in the mountains and in the plains over against the south side of Ceneroth, and in the levels and the countries of Dor by the sea side:E anche a' re di tramontana, che abitavano su' monti, e nel piano verso il lato meridionale di Ceneroth, e a quelli delle campagne, e delle regioni di Dor presso al mare:to the kinges also of the North, that dwelt in the mountaines and in the plaine against the south side of Ceneroth, in the champaine also and countries of Dor by the sea side:ad reges quoque aquilonis, qui habitabant in montanis et in planitie contra meridiem Ceneroth, in campestribus quoque et in regionibus Dor juxta mare: 3To the Chanaanites also on the east and on the west, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Jebusite in the mountains: to the Hevite also who dwelt at the foot of Hermon in the land of Maspha.E a' Chananei di oriente, e di occidente, e agli Amorrhei, e agli Hethei, e a' Ferezei e alli Jebusei delle montagne; e parimente agli Hevei abitanti alle falde dell'Hermon nella terra di Maspha.the Chananeite also on the East and West, and the Amorrheite and Hetheite and Pherezeite & Iebuseite in the mountaines: the Heueite also which dwelt at the foote of Hermon in the Land of Maspha.Chananæum quoque ab oriente et occidente, et Amorrhæum atque Hethæum ac Pherezæum et Jebusæum in montanis: Hevæum quoque qui habitabat ad radices Hermon in terra Maspha. 4And they all came out with their troops, a people exceeding numerous as the sand that is on the sea shore, their horses also and chariots a very great multitude,E si mossero tutti colle loro schiere in numero grande oltre modo, come l'arena che è sul lido del mare: i cavalli ancora, e i cocchi erano in moltitudine immensa:And they issued forth al with their troupes, a people exceeding manie as the sand, that is in the shore of the sea, their horses also and chariottes of passing great multitude.Egressique sunt omnes cum turmis suis, populus multus nimis sicut arena quæ est in littore maris, equi quoque et currus immensæ multitudinis. 5And all these kings assembled together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.E si raunarono tutti insieme questi re alle acque di Merom per combattere con Israele.And al these kinges assembled together in one at the Waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.Conveneruntque omnes reges isti in unum ad aquas Merom, ut pugnarent contra Israël.

6And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for to morrow at this same hour I will deliver all these to be slain in the sight of Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and thou shalt burn their chariots with fire.E il Signore disse a Giosuè: Non li temere: imperocché domane in questa stessa ora io darò tutti costoro ad essere trafitti sugli occhi d'Israele: tu taglierai i garetti a' loro cavalli e darai alle fiamme i loro cocchi.And our Lord said to Iosue: Feare them not: for to morrow this selfe same houre wil I deliuer al these to be wounded in the sight of Israel: their horses thou shalt hoghsinew, and their chariottes thou shalt burne with fire.Dixitque Dominus ad Josue: Ne timeas eos: cras enim hac eadem hora ego tradam omnes istos vulnerandos in conspectu Israël: equos eorum subnervabis, et currus igne combures. 7And Josue came, and all the army with him, against them to the waters of Merom on a sudden, and fell upon them.E Giosuè con tutto l'esercito andò subitamente contro di essi alle acque di Merom, e gli assalirono:And Iosue came, and al the hoste with him against them to the Waters of Merom sodenly, and ranne in vpon them,Venitque Josue, et omnis exercitus cum eo, adversus illos ad aquas Merom subito, et irruerunt super eos, 8And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel. And they defeated them, and chased them as far as the great Sidon and the waters of Maserophot, and the field of Masphe, which is on the east thereof. He slew them all, so as to leave no remains of them:E il Signore gli abbandonò nelle mani d'Israele; e furono sconfitti, e inseguiti fino a Sidone la grande, e fino alle acque di Maserephoth, e al campo di Masphe che è verso oriente. In tal guisa gli sconfisse, che non lasciò anima viva:and our Lord deliuered them into the handes of Israel. Who stroke them, and pursewed them as farre as great Sidon, and the Waters of Maserephoth, and the field of Masphe, which is on the East side therof. Therfore he stroke al, so that he le•t no reliques of them:tradiditque illos Dominus in manus Israël. Qui percusserunt eos, et persecuti sunt usque ad Sidonem magnam, et aquas Maserephoth, campumque Masphe, qui est ad orientalem illius partem. Ita percussit omnes, ut nullas dimitteret ex eis reliquias: 9And he did as the Lord had commanded him, he hamstringed their horses and burned their chariots.E fece come gli aveva ordinato il Signore: tagliò i garetti a' loro cavalli, e diede i cocchi alle fiamme.and he did as our Lord had commanded him, their horses he hoghsinewed, and their chariottes he burnt.fecitque sicut præceperat ei Dominus: equos eorum subnervavit, currusque combussit igni.

10And presently turning back he took Asor: and slew the king thereof with the sword. Now Asor of old was the head of all these kingdoms.E data subito volta indietro prese Asor, e uccise il suo re: imperocché anticamente Asor avea il principato sopra tutti que' regni.And returning immediatly he tooke Asor: and the king therof he stroke with the sword. For Asor in old time among al these kingdomes held the principalitie.Reversusque statim cepit Asor, et regem ejus percussit gladio. Asor enim antiquitus inter omnia regna hæc principatum tenebat. 11And he cut off all the souls that abode there: he left not in it any remains, but utterly destroyed all, and burned the city itself with fire.E uccise tutta la gente, che vi era dentro: non vi lasciò anima viva: ma devastò ogni cosa fino all'ultimo sterminio, e incendiò la stessa città.And he stroke al the soules, that abode there: he left not in it anie remaines, but to vtter destruction he wasted al thinges, and the citie it selfe he destroyed with fyre.Percussitque omnes animas quæ ibidem morabantur: non dimisit in ea ullas reliquias, sed usque ad internecionem universa vastavit, ipsamque urbem peremit incendio. 12And he took and put to the sword and destroyed all the cities round about, and their kings, as Moses the servant of God had commanded him.E prese tutte le vicine città, e i loro re, e gli uccise, e distrusse, come aveva ordinato a lui Mosè servo del Signore.And al the cities round about, their kinges also he tooke, stroke & destroyed, as Moyses the seruant of God had commanded him.Et omnes per circuitum civitates, regesque earum, cepit, percussit atque delevit, sicut præceperat ei Moyses famulus Domini. 13Except the cities that were on hills and high places, the rest Israel burned: only Asor that was very strong he consumed with fire.Eccettuate le città poste sulle colline, e in luoghi elevati, tutte le altre Israele le abbruciò. Sola Asor città fortissima fu incendiata.Except the cities, that were situated on hilles and higher ground, the rest Israel burnt: one onlie Asor verie wel fensed he consumed with fyre.Absque urbibus, quæ erant in collibus et in tumulis sitæ, ceteras succendit Israël: unam tantum Asor munitissimam flamma consumpsit. 14And the children of Israel divided among themselves all the spoil of these cities and the cattle, killing all the men.E tutta la preda di queste città, e i bestiami se gli spartirono tra di loro i figliuoli d'Israele, dopo averne uccisa la gente.And al the praye of these cities and the cattel the children of Israel diuided among them selues, al the men being slaine.Omnemque prædam istarum urbium ac jumenta diviserunt sibi filii Israël, cunctis hominibus interfectis.

15As the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Josue, and he accomplished all: he left not one thing undone of all the commandments which the Lord had commanded Moses.Come il Signore aveva ordinato a Mosè suo servo, così Mosè ordinò a Giosuè, e questi eseguì il tutto: non trascurò nè pur un jota di tutti quanti gli ordini intimati dal Signore a Mosè.As our Lord had commanded Moyses his seruant, so did Moyses command Iosue, and he accomplished al thinges: he ommitted not of al the commandementes, not so much as one word, which our Lord had commanded Moyses.Sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi servo suo, ita præcepit Moyses Josue, et ille universa complevit: non præteriit de universis mandatis, nec unum quidem verbum quod jusserat Dominus Moysi. 16So Josue took all the country of the hills, and of the south, and the land of Gosen, and the plains and the west country, and the mountain of Israel, and the plains thereof:Giosuè adunque si fece padrone di tutto il paese della montagna e del mezzodì, e della terra di Gosen, e della pianura, e della parte occidentale, e del monte d'Israele, e delle sue pianure:Iosue therfore tooke al the hillie countrie, and south, and the land of Gosen, and plaine, and the West quarter, and the mountaine of Israel, and the champaine countrie therof:Cepit itaque Josue omnem terram montanam et meridianam, terramque Gosen, et planitiem, et occidentalem plagam, montemque Israël, et campestria ejus, 17And part of the mountain that goeth up to Seir as far as Baalgad, by the plain of Libanus under mount Hermon: all their kings he took, smote and slew.E della parte del monte che s'innalza verso Seir fino a Baalgad lungo la pianura del Libano sotto il monte Hermon. Prese tutti que' re, gli sconfisse, e gli uccise.and the part of the mountaine, that goeth vp to Seir as farre as Baalgad by the plaine of Libanus vnder mount Hermon: al their kinges he tooke, stroke, and slew.et partem montis, quæ ascendit Seir usque Baalgad, per planitiem Libani subter montem Hermon: omnes reges eorum cepit, percussit, et occidit. 18Josue made war a long time against these kings.Molto tempo durò la guerra che ebbe Giosuè con questi regi.A great time did Iosue fight against these kinges.Multo tempore pugnavit Josue contra reges istos. 19There was not a city that delivered itself to the children of Israel, except the Hevite, who dwelt in Gabaon: for he took all by fight.Non vi fu città che si arrendesse a' figliuoli d'Israele, eccettuati gli Hevei abitatori di Gabaon: tutte le preser per forza.There was not a citie that did deliuer it selfe to the children of Israel, except the Heueite, which dwelt in Gabaon: for he tooke al by fight.Non fuit civitas quæ se traderet filiis Israël, præter Hevæum, qui habitabat in Gabaon: omnes enim bellando cepit.

20For it was the sentence of the Lord, that their hearts should be hardened, and they should fight against Israel, and fall, and should not deserve any clemency, and should be destroyed as the Lord had commanded Moses.Imperocché sentenza del Signore era stata che s'indurassero i cuori di coloro, e facesser guerra contro Israele, e andassero in rovina, e non meritassero alcuna pietà, e perissero, come aveva ordinato il Signore a Mosè.For it was the sentence of our Lord, that their hartes should be indurate, and they should fight against Israel, and fall, and should not deserue anie clemencie, and should perish, as our Lord had commanded Moyses.Domini enim sententia fuerat, ut indurarentur corda eorum, et pugnarent contra Israël, et caderent, et non mererentur ullam clementiam, ac perirent, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi. 21At that time Josue came and cut off the Enacims from the mountains, from Hebron, and Dabir, and Anab, and from all the mountain of Juda and Israel, and destroyed their cities.In quel tempo Giosuè si mosse, e mise a fil di spada gli Enacimi delle montagne, e gli sterminò da Ebron, e da Dabir, e da Anab, e da tutta la montagna di Giuda, e d'Israele, e ruinò le loro città.At that time Iosue came, and slew the Enacimes of the mountaines, of Hebron, and Dabir, and Anab, and from al the mountaine of Iuda and Israel, and destroyed their cities.In illo tempore venit Josue, et interfecit Enacim de montanis, Hebron, et Dabir, et Anab, et de omni monte Juda et Israël, urbesque eorum delevit. 22He left not any of the stock of the Enacims, in the land of the children of Israel: except the cities of Gaza, and Geth, and Azotus, in which alone they were left.Non lasciò anima della stirpe degli Enacimi nella terra de' figliuoli d'Israele, eccettuate le città di Gaza, e di Geth, e di Azoto, nelle quali sole ve ne rimase.He leift not any of the stocke of Enacimes, in the Land of the children of Israel: sauing the cities of Gaza, and Geth, and Azotus, in the which onlie they were leift.Non reliquit ullum de stirpe Enacim, in terra filiorum Israël: absque civitatibus Gaza, et Geth, et Azoto, in quibus solis relicti sunt. 23So Josue took all the land, as the Lord spoke to Moses, and delivered it in possession to the children of Israel, according to their divisions and tribes. And the land rested from wars.Giosuè adunque s'impadronì di tutto quel paese, come il Signore avea detto a Mosè, e ne diede il possesso ai figliuoli d'Israele parte per parte, e tribù per tribù: e la terra ebbe riposo dalle guerre.Iosue therfore tooke al the Land, as our Lord spake to Moyses, and deliuered it in possession to the children of Israel, according to their partes and tribes and the Land rested from battels.Cepit ergo Josue omnem terram, sicut locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, et tradidit eam in possessionem filiis Israël secundum partes et tribus suas: quievitque terra a præliis.
