Joshua 10
1 Now Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction —doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king—and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.
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，
2 So Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly alarmed, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
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。
3 Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
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：
4 “Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
「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。」
5 So the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
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。
6 Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
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。」
7 So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
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。
8 The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not one of them shall stand against you.”
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。」
9 After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
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。
10 And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
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。
11 As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
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。
12 On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
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! 」
13 So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
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。
14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.
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。
15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
此後，若蘇厄和所有跟隨他的以色列人，回了基耳加耳營。
16 Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
至於那五個逃脫的王子，藏在瑪刻達山洞裏，
17 And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
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。」
18 So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
若蘇厄吩咐說：「你們把幾塊大石滾到洞口，派人看守。
19 But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
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。」
20 So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
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。
21 The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
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。
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
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。」
23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
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，
24 When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
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。
25 “Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”
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。」
26 After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
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。
27 At sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
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。
28 On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
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。
29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
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。
30 And the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
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。
31 And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
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，
32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
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。
33 At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
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。
34 So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
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。
35 That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.
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。
36 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.
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；
37 They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.
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。
38 Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.
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，
39 And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and as he had done to Libnah and its king.
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。
40 So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
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，
41 Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
由卡德士巴爾乃亞起，直到迦薩，以及哥笙全境，直到基貝紅。
42 And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
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。
43 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
以後，若蘇厄和所有跟隨他的以色列人，回到基耳加耳營。
