約書亞記 8
1 以後上主對若蘇厄說：「你不要害怕! 不要膽怯，只管率領所有的軍民，前去進攻哈依城。看，我已將哈依王，百姓、城池和土地，都交在你手中。
Forsothe the Lord seide to Josue, Nether drede thou `withoutforth, `nether drede thou withynne; take with thee al the multitude of fiyteris, and rise thou, and stie in to the citee of Hay; lo, Y haue bitake in thin hond the king therof, and the puple, and the citee, and the lond.
2 你要對待哈依城和哈依王，如同對待耶利哥和耶利哥王一樣；只有城中的戰利品和牲畜，你們可據為己有。你應在城後面，設下攻城的伏兵。」
And thou schalt do to the citee of Hay, and to the king therof, as thou didist to Gerico, and to the king therof; sotheli ye schulen take to you the prey, and alle lyuynge beestis; sette thou `aspies, ethir buyschementis, to the citee bihynde it.
3 若蘇厄於是與所有的軍兵前去進攻哈依城。若蘇厄選了三萬精兵，派他們黑夜出發，
And Josue roos, and al the oost of fiyteris with hym, to stie in to Hay; and bi nyyte he sente thretti chosen thousynde of stronge men;
4 吩咐他們說：「你們要注意，在城那邊，即在城後面埋伏下，不可離城太遠，個個都要戒備。
and comaundide to hem, and seide, Sette ye buyschementis bihynde the citee, and go ye not ferthere; and alle ye schulen be redi;
5 我和我率領的人，向城推進；當他們像前次一樣出來迎擊我們時，我們就由他們前面逃走。
forsothe Y, and the tothir multitude which is with me, schulen come on the contrarie side ayens the citee; and whanne thei schulen go out ayens vs, as we diden bifore, we schulen fle, and turne the backis,
6 他們一定出來追趕我們。我們將他們誘出城來，他們必說：這些像前次一樣，又由我們面前逃走了。我們就由他們前面逃走。
til thei pursuen, and ben drawun away ferthir fro the citee; for thei schulen gesse, that we schulen fle as bifore.
7 那時你們應從埋伏的地方出來，佔領城市，上主你們的天主必將這城交在你們手中。
Therfor while we schulen fle, and thei pursue, ye schulen ryse fro the buyschementis, and schulen waste the citee; and youre Lord God schal bitake it in to youre hondis.
8 你們一佔領了城，就放火焚燒，全照上主的話執行。你們應注意我吩咐你們的事。」
And whanne ye han take it, `brenne ye it; `so ye schulen do alle thingis, as Y comaundide.
9 若蘇厄就打發他們去了。他們便開到埋伏的地方，停在貝特耳和哈依之間，在哈依西面。那中夜若蘇厄便在百姓中過了夜。
And Josue lefte hem, and thei yeden to the place of buyschementis, and saten bitwixe Bethel and Hay, at the west coost of the citee of Hay. Forsothe Josue dwellide `in that nyyt in the myddis of the puple.
10 若蘇厄清早起來，點齊軍民；然後與與以色列的長老，在軍人前頭向哈依城進發。
And he roos eerli, and noumbride felowis, and stiede with the eldere in the frount of the oost, and was cumpassid with the helpe of fiyteris.
11 跟隨他的所有軍人也都一齊進發，迫近城下，在哈依北面紮了營。原來在他和哈依中間隔著一個山谷。
And whanne thei hadden come, and hadden stied ayens the citee, thei stoden at the north coost of the citee, bitwixe which citee and hem the valei was in the myddis.
12 若蘇厄調了約五千人，令他們埋伏在貝特耳和哈依之間，即在哈依西面。
`Sotheli he hadde chose fyue thousynde men, and hadde sette in buyschementis bitwixe Bethauen and Hay, in the west part of the same citee.
13 這樣城北的軍民和城西的伏兵，都嚴陣以待。當夜若蘇厄就在谷中過了夜。
Sotheli al the tothir oost dresside scheltroun to the north, so that the laste men of the multitude touchiden the west coost of the citee. Therfor Josue yede in that nyyt, and stood in the myddis of the valei;
14 哈依王一見這情形，便和全城的人急忙起來，到了面對阿拉巴的山坡，要和以色列人交戰，但他沒有料到城後面還有伏兵。
and whanne the kyng of Hai had seyn that, he hastide eerli, and yede out with al the oost of the citee, and he dresside scheltrun ayens the deseert; and wiste not that buyschementis weren hid bihinde the bak.
15 若蘇厄和以色列人在他們面前詐敗，沿著往曠野的路奔逃，
Forsothe Josue and al the multitude `of Israel yauen place, feynynge drede, and fleynge bi the weie of wildirnesse; and thei crieden togidere,
16 城中的人盡被徵調，在後追趕。當他們若蘇厄時，都被誘出城來；
and excitiden hem silf togidere, and pursueden hem. And whanne thei hadden go awey fro the citee,
17 在哈依和貝特耳沒有留下一個人不出來追趕以色列人的。他們拋下敞開的城門，都去追趕以色列人。
and sothely not oon hadde left in the citee of Hai and Bethauen, that `pursuede not Israel, and thei leften the citees opyn, as thei hadden broke out,
18 這時上主對若蘇厄說：「將你手中的短劍指向哈依城，因為我即將這城交於你手中。」若蘇厄便將手中的短指向哈依城。
the Lord seide to Josue, `Reise thou the scheeld which is in thin hond, ayens the citee of Hay; for Y schal yyue it to thee.
19 他一伸手，伏兵即由他們埋伏的地方奮起，衝向城中，將城佔領，急速放火焚燒。
And whanne he hadde reisid the scheld ayens the citee, buyschementis, that weren hid, riseden anoon; and thei yeden to the citee, and token, and brenten it.
20 哈依人回頭，看見城內濃煙沖天，都沒有了往前後逃跑的力量，因為此時向曠野奔逃的以色列人，忽然轉過身來還擊追趕自己的哈依人。
Forsothe the men of the citee, that pursueden Josue, bihelden, and siyen the smoke of the citee stie `til to heuene; and thei myyten no more fle hidur and thidur; most sithen thei that hadden feyned fliyt, and yeden to wildirnesse, withstoden stronglieste `ayens the pursueris.
21 若蘇厄和全以色列見伏兵已奪了城，城內煙氣上騰，便轉身回來擊殺哈依人。
And Josue siy, and al Israel, that the citee was takun, and the smoke of the citee stiede; and he turnede ayen, and smoot the men of Hay.
22 伏兵也由城內出來夾擊，哈依人便包圍在以色列人中間，前後受敵；以色列人將他們完全殺盡，沒有留下一個，也沒有逃走一個。
Sotheli also thei that hadden take and brent the citee, yeden out of the cytee ayens her men, and bigunnen to smyte the myddil men of enemyes; and whanne aduersaries weren slayn `on euer ethir part, so that no man of so greet multitude was sauyd,
23 他們生摛了哈依王，把他解到若蘇厄面前。
thei tokun also the kyng of Hay lyuynge, and brouyten to Josue.
24 以色列人在曠野的平原上，殺盡了追趕自己的一切哈依居民，哈依人全都死於刀下；以後，全以色列人又回到哈依，殺盡城中的人。
Therfor, whanne alle men weren slayn, that pursueden Israel goynge to deseert, and felden bi swerd in the same place, the sones of Israel turneden ayen, and smytiden the citee.
25 那天被殺的人，男女共計一萬二千，都是哈依人。
Forsothe thei that `felden doun in the same dai, fro man `til to womman, weren twelue thousynde of men, alle men of the citee of Hay.
26 若蘇厄在沒有殺盡哈依的一切居民前，一直沒有收回自己手中所持的短劍。
Sotheli Josue withdrow not the hond, which he hadde dressid an hiy holdynge `the scheld, til alle the dwelleris of Hay weren slayn.
27 惟有城中的牲畜和財物，以色列人依照上主吩咐若蘇厄的話，據為己有。
Forsothe the sones of Israel departiden to hem silf the werk beestis, and the preye of the citee, as the Lord comaundide to Josue;
28 然後若蘇厄焚毀哈依城，使之永遠成為廢墟，時至今日，仍是一片荒涼；
which brente the citee, and made it an euerlastynge biriel.
29 又將哈依王懸在樹上，直到黃昏；日落時，若蘇厄令人將他的死屍從樹上卸下，丟在城門口，在他身上又 堆石頭，直存到今日。
And he hangide the king therof in a iebat, `til to the euentid and the goynge doun of the sunne. And Josue comaundide, and thei puttiden doun his deed bodi fro the cros; and thei `castiden forth him in thilke entryng of the citee, and gaderiden on hym a greet heep of stoonus, which heep dwellith `til in to present dai.
30 那時，若蘇厄在厄巴耳山，為上主以色列的天主，築了一座祭壇；
Thanne Josue bildide an auter to the Lord God of Israel in the hil of Hebal,
31 全照上主的僕人梅瑟向以色列子民所吩咐的，全照梅瑟法律書上所記載的，用沒有用過的整塊石頭，築了一座祭壇，在上面向上主獻了全燔祭，祭殺了和平祭犧牲。
as Moises, the `seruaunt of the Lord, comaundide to the sones of Israel, and it is writun in the book of Moises lawe, an auter of stoonys vnpolischid, whiche yrun touchide not. And he offride theron brent sacrifice to the Lord, and he offride pesible sacrifices;
32 若蘇厄又在那裏將梅瑟當著以色列子民的面所寫的法律，刻在石頭上。
and he wroot on the stoonys the Deutronomye of Moises lawe, `which he hadde declarid bifor the sones of Israel.
33 以色列全體民眾和他們的長老、領袖、判官，連僑居的人和土生的人，一半向著革黎斤山，一半向著厄巴耳山，正如上主的僕人梅瑟，當初為祝福以色列百姓所命令的。
Sotheli al the puple, and the grettere men in birthe, and the duykis, and iugis stoden on `euer either side of the arke, in the siyt of preestis and dekenes, that baren the arke of boond of pees of the Lord; as a comeling, so and a man borun in the lond; the mydil part of hem stood bisidis the hil Garasym, and the myddil part stood bisidis the hil Hebal, as Moises, the `seruaunt of the Lord, comaundide. And first `sotheli he blesside the puple of Israel.
34 以後若蘇厄將法律上祝福和詛咒的一切話，全照法律書上所記載的，宣讀了一遍。
Aftir these thingis he redde alle the wordis of blessyng and of cursyng, and alle thingis that weren writun in the book of lawe.
35 凡梅瑟所吩咐的一切話，若蘇厄在以色列全會眾前，連婦孺和寄居在他們中的外僑在內，沒有一句不向他們宣讀。
He lefte no thing vntouchid of these thingis that Moises comaundide; but he declaride alle thingis bifor al the multitude of Israel, to wymmen, and litle children, and to comelyngis that dwelliden among hem.
