約書亞記 10
1 當耶路撒冷王阿多尼責德克聽說若蘇厄攻佔了哈依，完全予以毀滅，對待哈依和哈依王如對待耶利哥和耶利哥王一樣；又聽說基貝紅居民已與以色列媾和，可住在他們中間，
Now when Adoni-zedek King of Ierusalem had heard how Ioshua had taken Ai and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Iericho and to the King thereof, so he had done to Ai and to the King thereof) and howe the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them,
2 大為震驚，因為基貝紅是座大城，像座京城，比哈依還大，中的人又都勇敢。
Then they feared exceedingly: for Gibeon was a great citie, as one of the royall cities: for it was greater then Ai, and all the men thereof were mightie.
3 耶路撒冷王阿多尼責德克打發使者去見赫貝龍王曷罕、雅爾慕特王丕蘭、拉基士王雅非雅和厄革隆王德彼爾說：
Wherefore Adoni-zedek King of Ierusalem sent vnto Hoham King of Hebron, and vnto Piram King of Iarmuth, and vnto Iapia King of Lachish, and vnto Debir King of Eglon, saying,
4 「請你們前來援助我，攻打基貝紅，因為這城已與若蘇厄和以色列人媾和。」
Come vp vnto me, and helpe me, that we may smite Gibeon: for they haue made peace with Ioshua and with the children of Israel.
5 那五個阿摩黎王，即耶路撒冷王、赫貝龍王、雅爾慕特王、拉基士王和厄革隆王聯合起來，率領他們所有的軍隊上去包圍了基貝紅，合力進攻。
Therefore the fiue Kings of the Amorites, the King of Ierusalem, the King of Hebron, the King of Iarmuth, the King of Lachish, and the King of Eglon gathered themselues together, and went vp, they with all their hostes, and besieged Gibeon, and made warre against it.
6 基貝紅人即派人到基耳加耳營中見若蘇厄說：「你不要袖手不顧你的僕人，請快上來援助，扶助我們，因為住在山地的眾阿摩黎王都聯合起來攻擊我們。」
And the men of Gibeon sent vnto Ioshua, euen to the hoste to Gilgal, saying, Withdrawe not thine hand from thy seruants: come vp to vs quickly, and saue vs, and helpe vs: for all the Kings of the Amorites which dwell in the mountaines, are gathered together against vs.
7 若蘇厄遂親率他的一切軍民，和所有的精兵，從耳加耳上去了。
So Ioshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of warre with him, and all the men of might.
8 上主對若蘇厄說：「你不要怕他們，因為我已將他們交在你手中，沒有一人能抵抗你。」
And the Lord sayd vnto Ioshua, Feare them not: for I haue giuen them into thine hand: none of them shall stand against thee.
9 若蘇厄由基耳加耳出發，整夜行軍，出其不意，突然向他們進攻。
Ioshua therefore came vnto them suddenly: for he went vp from Gilgal all the night.
10 上主使他們以色列人前大為混亂，以色列人在基貝紅將他們完全擊敗，隨後在往貝特曷龍的上坡路上追趕他們，擊殺他們直到阿則卡，直到瑪刻達。
And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth vp to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
11 當他們逃避以色列人，來到貝特曷龍下坡時，上主從天上降下冰雹，落在他們身上，直落到阿則卡，死傷無數；為冰雹砸死的人，教宗以色列用刀死的還多。
And as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going downe to Beth-horon, the Lord cast downe great stones from heauen vpon them, vntill Azekah, and they dyed: they were more that dyed with the hailestones, then they whom the children of Israel slewe with the sword.
12 上主將阿摩黎人交於以色列子民的那一天，若蘇厄當以色列人的面對上主說：「太陽! 停在基貝紅! 月亮! 停在阿雅隆谷! 」
Then spake Ioshua to the Lord, in the day when the Lord gaue the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he sayd in the sight of Israel, Sunne, stay thou in Gibeon, and thou moone, in the valley of Aialon.
13 太陽果然停住，月亮站住不動，直到百姓報復了自己的仇敵。這事豈不是記載在「義士書」上了嗎﹖太陽停在空中，未急速下落，約有一整天。
And the Sunne abode, and the moone stood still, vntill the people auenged themselues vpon their enemies: (Is not this written in the booke of Iasher?) so the Sunne abode in the middes of the heauen, and hasted not to goe downe for a whole day.
14 以前或以後，從來沒有一天像這天一樣。上主這樣俯聽了人的呼聲，因為是上主在為以色列人作戰。
And there was no day like that before it, nor after it, that the Lord heard the voyce of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.
15 此後，若蘇厄和所有跟隨他的以色列人，回了基耳加耳營。
After, Ioshua returned, and all Israel with him vnto the campe to Gilgal:
16 至於那五個逃脫的王子，藏在瑪刻達山洞裏，
But the fiue Kings fled and were hid in a caue at Makkedah.
17 有人來通知若蘇厄說：「那五個王子已被發現，藏在瑪刻達山洞裏。」
And it was tolde Ioshua, saying, The fiue Kings are found hid in a caue at Makkedah.
18 若蘇厄吩咐說：「你們把幾塊大石滾到洞口，派人看守。
Then Ioshua said, Roule great stones vpon the mouth of the caue, and set men by it for to keepe them.
19 你們不可停下來，要去追趕敵人，切斷他們的後路，不容他們逃入城中，因為上主你們的天主，已將他們交在你們手中。」
But stand ye not still: follow after your enemies, and smite all the hindmost, suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath giuen them into your hand.
20 以色列子民將他們殺得慘敗，幾乎將他們全部消滅，只剩下一些逃脫的人進入了堅城。
And when Ioshua and the children of Israel had made an ende of slaying them with an exceeding great slaughter till they were consumed, and the rest that remained of them were entred into walled cities,
21 軍民都平安無恙地回到瑪克達見若蘇厄。以後沒有人再敢侮辱以色列子民。
Then all the people returned to the campe, to Ioshua at Makkedah in peace: no man mooued his tongue against the children of Israel.
22 那時若蘇厄說：「你們去打開洞口，把五個王子從洞裏拉出來，帶到我這裏來。」
After, Ioshua sayd, Open the mouth of the caue, and bring out these fiue Kings vnto me forth of the caue.
23 人就去，將那五個王子，是耶路撒冷王、赫貝龍王、雅爾慕特王、拉基斯王和厄格隆王，從洞裏拉出，帶到他面前，
And they did so, and brought out those fiue Kings vnto him forth of the caue, euen the King of Ierusalem, the King of Hebron, ye King of Iarmuth, the King of Lachish, and the King of Eglon.
24 當人們把那五個王子帶到若蘇厄面前時，若蘇厄將所有的以色列人召來，對那些與他同去作戰的軍長說：「你們前來，將腳踏在這些王子的脖子上! 」他們就前來，將腳踏在那些王子的脖子上。
And when they had brought out those Kings vnto Ioshua, Ioshua called for all the men of Israel, and sayd vnto the chiefe of the men of warre, which went with him, Come neere, set your feete vpon the necks of these Kings: and they came neere and set their feete vpon their necks.
25 若蘇厄對他們說：「你們不要害怕，不要沮喪，只要勇敢果斷，因為上主必要這樣對待你們所征服的一切仇人。」
And Ioshua sayd vnto them, Feare not, nor be faint hearted, but be strong and of a good courage: for thus will the Lord doe to all your enemies, against whome ye fight.
26 隨後，若蘇厄將那五個王子殺死，將他們懸在五棵樹上，直懸到晚上。
So then Ioshua smote them, and slewe them, and hanged them on fiue trees, and they hanged still vpon the trees vntill the euening.
27 到太陽快落時候，o命人將他們由樹上放下來，丟在他們藏過的山洞裏，用大石頭塞住洞口；那些大石至今尚在。
And at the going downe of the sunne, Ioshua gaue commandement, that they should take them downe off the trees, and cast them into the caue (wherein they had bene hid) and they layde great stones vpon the caues mouth, which remaine vntill this day.
28 若蘇厄當天就佔領了瑪克達，並用利劍擊殺了那城和城中的王子，並將城中的一切生靈完全毀滅，一個也沒有留下；他對待瑪刻達王如對耶利哥王一樣。
And that same day Ioshua tooke Makkedah and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the King thereof destroyed he with them, and all the soules that were therein, he let none remaine: for hee did to the King of Makkedah as he had done vnto the King of Iericho.
29 若蘇厄和跟隨他的眾以色列人，由瑪刻達往里貝納進攻，攻打里貝納。
Then Ioshua went from Makkedah, and all Israel with him vnto Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
30 上主也將這城和城中的王子交在以色列人手中；他們用利劍擊殺了城和城中的一切生靈，一個也沒有留下；他對待這城中的王子，如對待耶利哥王一樣。
And the Lord gaue it also and the King thereof into the hand of Israel: and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein: he let none remaine in it: for he did vnto the King thereof, as he had done vnto the King of Iericho.
31 若蘇厄和跟隨他的眾以色列人，又從里貝納往拉基士推進，圍攻拉基士，
And Ioshua departed from Libnah, and all Israel with him vnto Lachish, and besieged it, and assaulted it.
32 上主將拉基士也交在以色列人手中。第二天若蘇厄攻取了拉基士，用利劍擊殺了那城和城中的一切生靈，全如對待里貝納一樣。
And the Lord gaue Lachish into the hand of Israel, which tooke it the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein, according to all as he had done to Libnah.
33 那時曷爾曷蘭上來援救拉基士，若蘇厄也將他和他的人民殺盡，一個也沒有留下。
Then Horam King of Gezer came vp to helpe Lachish: but Ioshua smote him and his people, vntill none of his remained.
34 此後，若蘇厄和跟隨他的眾以色列人，由拉基士往厄革隆推進，圍攻厄革隆。
And from Lachish Ioshua departed vnto Eglon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged it, and assaulted it,
35 當夜攻下了那城，並在那天用利劍殺盡了那城和城中的一切生靈，全如對待拉基士一樣。
And they tooke it the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein he vtterly destroyed the same day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 上後，若蘇厄和跟隨他的眾以色列人，從厄革隆上到赫貝龍，攻打那城；
Then Ioshua went vp from Eglon, and all Israel with him vnto Hebron, and they fought against it.
37 佔領後，用利劍擊殺了那城和城中的王子，以及屬於他的一切生靈，一個也沒有留下；將那城和城中一切生靈完全消滅，全如對待厄革隆一樣。
And when they had taken it, they smote it with the edge of the sword, and the King thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the soules that were therein: he left none remaining, according to all as he had done to Eglon: for he destroyed it vtterly, and all the soules that were therein.
38 此後，若蘇厄和跟隨他的眾以色列人，轉身向德彼爾推進，攻打那城，
So Ioshua returned, and all Israel with him to Debir, and fought against it.
39 獲得了那城和那城的王子，以及屬德彼爾的一切城邑後，用利劍擊殺了他們，將這些城內的一切生靈完全毀滅，一個也沒有留下；對待德彼爾城和城中的王子，有如對待赫貝龍和赫貝龍的王子一樣又如對待里貝納和里貝納王子一樣。
And when he had taken it, and the King thereof, and all the citie thereof, they smote them with the edge of the sword, and vtterly destroyed all the soules that were therein, he let none remaine: as he did to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the King thereof, as he had also done to Libnah, and to the King thereof.
40 若蘇厄征服了那一帶地方包括山地、乃革布、平原、山坡和那些地方的不子；並照上主以色列的天主的命令，消滅了所有的生靈，一個也沒有留下，
So Ioshua smote all the hill countreys, and the South countreys, and the valleys, and the hill sides, and all their Kings, and let none remaine, but vtterly destroyed euery soule, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded.
41 由卡德士巴爾乃亞起，直到迦薩，以及哥笙全境，直到基貝紅。
And Ioshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea euen vnto Azzah, and all the countrey of Goshen, euen vnto Gibeon.
42 若蘇厄這次出征，能獲取所有的王子和他們的土地，是因為上主以色列的天主在為以色列人作戰。
And all these Kings, and their land did Ioshua take at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 以後，若蘇厄和所有跟隨他的以色列人，回到基耳加耳營。
Afterward, Ioshua and all Israel with him returned vnto the campe in Gilgal.
