< 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,
And whanne Adonysedech, kyng of Jerusalem, hadde herde these thingis, that is, that Josue hadde take Hai, and hadde destried it; for as Josue hadde do to Jerico and to the kyng therof, so he dide to Hay, and to the kyng therof; and that Gabaonytis hadden fled to Israel, and weren boundun in pees with hem,
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。
Adonysedech dredde greetli; for Gabaon was a greet citee, and oon of the kyngis citees, and grettere than the citee of Hai, and alle the fiyteris therof weren most stronge.
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:
Therfor Adonysedech, kyng of Jerusalem, sente to Ocham, kyng of Ebron, and to Pharam, kyng of Herymoth, and to Japhie, kyng of Lachis, and to Dabir, kyng of Eglon, and seide,
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。」
Stie ye to me, and helpe ye, that we fiyte ayens Gabaon, for it was yoldun to Josue, and to the sones 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。
Therfor fyue kyngis of Ammorreis, the kyng of Jerusalem, the kyng of Ebron, the kyng of Herymoth, the kyng of Lachis, the kyng of Eglon, weren gaderid, and stieden togidere with her oostis; and settiden tentis ayens Gabaon, and fouyten ayens 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。」
Sotheli the dwelleris of the citee of Gabaon, `that weren bisegid, senten to Josue, that dwellide than in tentis at Galgala, and seide to hym, Withdrawe not thin hondis fro the help of thi seruauntis; `stie thou soone, and delyuere vs, and helpe thou; for alle the kyngis of Amorreis, that dwelliden in the hilli places, camen togidere ayens 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。
And Josue stiede fro Galgala, and al the oost of fiyters, `the strengeste men, `with hym.
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 seide to Josue, Drede thou not hem, for Y yaf hem in to thin hondis; noon of hem schal mow ayenstonde 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。
Therfor Josue felde sodenli on hem, and stiede in al the nyyt fro Galgala;
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 `disturblide hem fro the face of Israel, and al to-brak with greet veniaunce in Gabaon. And Josue pursuede hem bi the weie of the stiyng of Betheron, and smoot `til to Azecha and Maceda.
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 whanne thei fledden the sones of Israel, and weren in the goyng doun of Betheron, the Lord sente grete stoonus on hem fro heuene, til to Azecha; and many mo weren deed bi the `stoonys of hail, than thei whiche the sones of Israel `smytiden bi swerd.
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! 」
Thanne Josue spak to the Lord, in the dai in which he bitook Amorrey in the siyt of the sones of Israel; and Josue seide bifore hem, Sunne, be thou not mouyd ayens Gabaon, and the moone ayens the valei of Hailon.
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 and the moone stoden, til the folc of God vengide it silf of hise enemyes. Whether this is not writun in the book of iust men? And so the sunne stood in the myddis of heuene, and hastide not to go doun in the space of o dai; so long a dai was not bifore and aftirward;
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。
for the Lord obeiede to the vois of man, and fauyt 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。
And Josue turnede ayen, with al Israel, in to the tentis of Galgala.
16 至於那五個逃脫的王子,藏在瑪刻達山洞裏,
Forsothe fyue kyngis fledden, and hidden hem silf in the denne of the citee of Maceda.
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 teld to Josue, that fyue kyngis weren foundun hid in the denne of the citee of Maceda.
18 若蘇厄吩咐說:「你們把幾塊大石滾到洞口,派人看守。
Which Josue comaundide to felowis, and seide, Walewe ye grete stoonus to the `mouth of the denne, and putte ye witti men, that schulen kepe the closid kyngis; sotheli nyle ye stonde,
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 pursue ye the enemyes, and slee ye alle the laste of fleeris; and suffre ye not hem entre in to the strengthis of her citees, whiche enemyes youre Lord God bitook in to youre hondis.
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。
Therfor whanne the aduersaries weren betun with greet veniaunce, and weren almost wastid `til to deeth, thei that myyten fle Israel, entriden in to the strengthid citees.
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。
And al the oost turnede ayen hoole, and in hoole noumbre to Josue, in to Maceda, where the tentis weren thanne; and no man was hardi to grutche, `ether to make priuy noise, ayens the sones 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。」
And Josue comaundide, and seide, Opene ye the `mouth of the denne, and brynge forth to me the fyue kyngis that ben hid therynne.
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 the mynystris diden, as it was comaundid to hem; and thei brouyten forth to Josue fyue kyngis fro the denne; the kyng of Jerusalem, the kyng of Ebron, the kyng of Herymoth, the kyng of Lachis, the kyng 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 whanne thei weren led out to Josue, he clepide alle the men of Israel, and seide to the princes of the oost, that weren with hym, Go ye, and sette youre feet on the neckis of these kyngis. And whanne thei hadden go, and trediden the neckis of `the kyngis suget `to her feet,
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。」
eft Josue seide to hem, Nyle ye drede, nethir `drede ye with ynne, be ye coumfortid, and be ye stronge; for the Lord schal do so to alle youre enemyes, ayens whiche ye schulen fiyte.
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。
And Josue smoot, and killide hem, and hangide on fyue trees; and thei weren hangid `til to euentid.
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 whanne the sunne yede doun, he comaundide to felowis, that thei schulden put hem doun fro the iebatis; and whanne thei weren put doun, thei `castiden forth hem in to the denne, in which thei weren hid; and thei puttiden grete stoonus on the mouth therof, whiche stoonus dwellen `til to present tyme.
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。
In the same dai Josue took also Maceda, and smoot bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and killide the kyng therof, and alle the dwelleris therof; he lefte not therynne, nameli, litle relikis; and he dide to the kyng of Maceda as he hadde do to the kyng of Jerico.
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。
Forsothe Josue passide with al Israel fro Maceda in to Lempna, and fauyt ayens it,
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。
which the Lord bitook, with the kyng therof, in the hond of Israel; and thei smytiden the citee bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and alle the dwelleris therof, and leften not ony relikis therynne; and thei diden to the kyng of Lempna as thei hadden do to the kyng of Jerico.
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,
Fro Lempna he passide with al Israel in to Lachis; and whanne the oost was disposid bi cumpas, he fauyt ayens 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 bitook Lachis in the hond of the sones of Israel; and he took it in the tothir dai, and smoot bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and ech man, that was therynne, as he hadde do to Lempna.
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。
In that time Yram, kyng of Gazar, stiede to helpe Lachis; whom Josue smoot, with al his puple, til to deeth.
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 he passide fro Lachis in to Eglon,
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 cumpasside, and ouercam it in the same dai; and he smoot bi the scharpnesse of swerd alle men that weren therynne, bi alle thingis whiche he hadde do to Lachis.
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;
Also he stiede with al Israel fro Eglon in to Ebron, and fauyt ayens 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 took, and smoot bi the scharpnesse of swerd; and the kyng therof, and alle citees of that cuntrey, and alle men that dwelliden therynne; he lefte not ony relikis therynne; as he hadde do to Eglon so he dide also to Ebron, and wastide bi swerd alle thingis that weren therynne.
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,
Fro thennus he turnyde in to Dabir, and took it, and wastide;
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 he smoot bi the scharpnesse of swerd the kyng therof, and alle tounnes `bi cumpas; he lefte not ony relikis therynne; as he hadde do to Ebron, and to Lempna, and to `the kyngis of tho, so he dide to Dabir, and to the kyng therof.
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,
And so Josue smoot al the `lond of the hillis, and of the south, and `of the feeld, and Asedoch with her kyngis; he lefte not therynne ony relikis, but he killide al thing that myyte brethe, as the Lord God of Israel comaundide to hym;
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。
fro Cades Barne `til to Gazan, and al the lond of Jesson, `til to Gabaon Josue took,
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 wastide with o fersnesse alle the kyngis, and `cuntreis of hem; for the Lord God of Israel fauyt for hym.
43 以後,若蘇厄和所有跟隨他的以色列人,回到基耳加耳營。
And he turnede ayen with al Israel to the place of tentis in Galgala.
