Joshua 10
1 And it came to pass, when Adonizedec, king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and devoted it to destruction, as he had done unto Jericho and her king, so, had he done unto Ai and her king, —and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and had come into their midst,
Quae cum audisset Adonisedec rex Ierusalem, quod scilicet cepisset Iosue Hai, et subvertisset eam (sicut enim fecerat Iericho et regi eius, sic fecit Hai, et regi illius) et quod transfugissent Gabaonitae ad Israel, et essent foederati eorum,
2 then feared they greatly, because Gibeon was, a great city, as one of the royal cities, —and because, it, was greater than Ai, and, all the men thereof, were mighty:
timuit valde. Urbs enim magna erat Gabaon, et una civitatum regalium, et maior oppido Hai, omnesque bellatores eius fortissimi.
3 therefore sent Adonizedec, king of Jerusalem, unto Hoham, king of Hebron, and unto Piram, king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia, king of Lachish, and unto Debir, king of Eglon, saying:
Misit ergo Adonisedec rex Ierusalem ad Oham regem Hebron, et ad Pharam regem Ierimoth, ad Iaphia quoque regem Lachis, et ad Dabir regem Eglon, dicens:
4 Come up unto me and help me, that we may smite Gibeon, —for it hath made peace with Joshua, and with the sons of Israel.
Ad me ascendite, et ferte praesidium, ut expugnemus Gabaon, quare transfugerit ad Iosue, et ad filios Israel.
5 So they gathered themselves together and came up, even the five kings of the Amorites—the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, —they, and all their hosts, —and encamped near Gibeon, and made war against it.
Congregati igitur ascenderunt quinque reges Amorrhaeorum: rex Ierusalem, rex Hebron, rex Ierimoth, rex Lachis, rex Eglon, simul cum exercitibus suis, et castrametati sunt circa Gabaon, oppugnantes eam.
6 So the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not withhold thy hand from thy servants, —Come up unto us quickly, and save us, and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country, are gathered together against us.
Habitatores autem Gabaon urbis obsessae miserunt ad Iosue, qui tunc morabatur in castris apud Galgalam, et dixerunt ei: Ne retrahas manus tuas ab auxilio servorum tuorum: ascende cito, et libera nos, ferque praesidium: convenerunt enim adversum nos omnes reges Amorrhaeorum, qui habitant in montanis.
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, even all the mighty men of valour.
Ascenditque Iosue de Galgalis, et omnis exercitus bellatorum cum eo, viri fortissimi.
8 And Yahweh said unto Joshua: Do not fear because of them, for, into thy hand, have I delivered them, —not a man of them shall stand before thee.
Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Ne timeas eos: in manus enim tuas tradidi illos: nullus ex eis tibi resistere poterit.
9 So then Joshua came in unto them, suddenly, —all the night, came he up, from Gilgal.
Irruit itaque Iosue super eos repente, tota nocte ascendens de Galgalis:
10 And Yahweh confused them before Israel, and smote them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, —and chased them along the way that goeth up Beth-horon, and smote them as far as Azekah and as far as Makkedah.
Et conturbavit eos Dominus a facie Israel: contrivitque plaga magna in Gabaon, ac persecutus est eos per viam ascensus Beth horon, et percussit usque Azeca et Maceda.
11 And it came to pass, when they fled from before Israel, they, being on the slope of Beth-horon, that, Yahweh, cast down upon them great stones out of the heavens, as far as Azekah, and they died, —more, were they who died by the hailstones, than they whom the sons of Israel slew with the sword.
Cumque fugerent filios Israel, et essent in descensu Beth horon, Dominus misit super eos lapides magnos de caelo usque ad Azeca: et mortui sunt multo plures lapidibus grandinis, quam quos gladio percusserant filii Israel.
12 Then, spake Joshua unto Yahweh, on the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, —yea he said, in the presence of Israel—Thou Sun! in Gibeon, be still, and thou Moon! in the vale of Aijalon.
Tunc locutus est Iosue Domino in die, qua tradidit Amorrhaeum in conspectu filiorum Israel, dixitque coram eis: Sol contra Gabaon ne movearis, et Luna contra vallem Aialon.
13 So the sun, was still, and, the moon, stayed, until a nation should be avenged on its foes. Is not, that, written in the Book of the Upright? So then the sun stayed in the middle of the heavens, and hastened not to go in, about a whole day.
Steteruntque Sol et Luna, donec ulcisceretur se gens de inimicis suis. Nonne scriptum est hoc in libro iustorum? Stetit itaque Sol in medio caeli, et non festinavit occumbere spatio unius diei.
14 And there was no day like that—before it or after it, when Yahweh hearkened unto the voice of a man, —in that, Yahweh, himself fought for Israel.
Non fuit antea nec postea tam longa dies, obediente Domino voci hominis, et pugnante pro Israel.
15 So Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
Reversusque est Iosue cum omni Israel in castra Galgalae.
16 So these five kings fled, —and hid themselves in a cave, at Makkedah.
Fugerant enim quinque reges, et se absconderant in spelunca urbis Maceda.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, —The five kings are found, hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Nunciatumque est Iosue quod inventi essent quinque reges latentes in spelunca urbis Maceda.
18 And Joshua said, Roll ye great stones against the mouth of the cave, —and set over it men, to watch them;
Qui praecepit sociis, et ait: Volvite saxa ingentia ad os speluncae, et ponite viros industrios, qui clausos custodiant:
19 but do not, ye, stay, chase after your enemies, so shall ye attack them in the rear, —do not suffer them to enter into their cities, for Yahweh your God hath delivered them into your hand.
vos autem nolite stare, sed persequimini hostes, et extremos quosque fugientium caedite: nec dimittatis eos urbium suarum intrare praesidia, quos tradidit Dominus Deus in manus vestras.
20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel had made an end of smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were spent, then did, the remainder that were left of them, enter into the fortified cities.
Caesis ergo adversariis plaga magna, et usque ad internecionem pene consumptis, hi, qui Israel effugere potuerunt, ingressi sunt civitates munitas.
21 And all the people returned unto the camp, unto Joshua at Makkedah, in peace, —none sharpened his tongue at any man of the sons of Israel.
Reversusque est omnis exercitus ad Iosue in Maceda, ubi tunc erant castra, sani et integro numero: nullusque contra filios Israel mutire ausus est.
22 Then said Joshua, Open ye the mouth of the cave, —and bring out unto me, these five kings, out of the cave.
Praecepitque Iosue, dicens: Aperite os speluncae, et adducite ad me quinque reges, qui in ea latitant.
23 And they did so, and brought out unto him, these five kings, out of the cave, —namely, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
Feceruntque ministri ut sibi fuerat imperatum: et eduxerunt ad eum quinque reges de spelunca, regem Ierusalem, regem Hebron, regem Ierimoth, regem Lachis, regem Eglon.
24 And it came to pass, when they brought out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war who had been with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. So they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
Cumque adducti essent ad eum, vocavit omnes viros Israel, et ait ad principes exercitus qui secum erant: Ite, et ponite pedes super colla regum istorum. Qui cum perrexissent, et subiectorum colla pedibus calcarent,
25 Then said Joshua unto them: Do not fear, nor be alarmed, —be firm and bold, for, thus and thus, will Yahweh do unto all your enemies, against whom ye do fight.
rursum ait ad eos: Nolite timere, nec paveatis, confortamini et estote robusti: sic enim faciet Dominus cunctis hostibus vestris, adversum quos dimicatis.
26 And Joshua smote them after this, and put them to death, and hanged them upon five trees, —and they remained hung on the trees, until the evening,
Percussitque Iosue, et interfecit eos, atque suspendit super quinque stipites: fueruntque suspensi usque ad vesperum.
27 And it came to pass, at the time of the going in of the sun, that Joshua gave command, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave, where they had hid themselves, —and put great stones upon the mouth of the cave, [which remain], until this very day.
Cumque occumberet sol, praecepit sociis ut deponerent eos de patibulis. Qui depositos proiecerunt in speluncam, in qua latuerant, et posuerunt super os eius saxa ingentia, quae permanent usque in praesens.
28 And Joshua captured, Makkedah, on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and, the king thereof, devoted he to destruction, them and all the souls that were therein, he left no survivor, —but did unto the king of Makkedah, as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
Eodem quoque die Macedam cepit Iosue, et percussit eam in ore gladii, regemque illius interfecit, et omnes habitatores eius: non dimisit in ea saltem parvas reliquias. Fecitque regi Maceda, sicut fecerat regi Iericho.
29 And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah unto Libnah, —and fought against Libnah;
Transivit autem cum omni Israel de Maceda in Lebna, et pugnabat contra eam:
30 and Yahweh delivered, it also, into the hand of Israel, with the king thereof, and he smote it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls that were therein, he left therein no survivor, —but did unto the king thereof, as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
quam tradidit Dominus cum rege suo in manus Israel: percusseruntque urbem in ore gladii, et omnes habitatores eius. non dimiserunt in ea ullas reliquias. Feceruntque regi Lebna, sicut fecerant regi Iericho.
31 And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah unto Lachish, —and encamped against it, and fought against it;
De Lebna transivit in Lachis cum omni Israel: et exercitu per gyrum disposito oppugnabat eam.
32 and Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he captured it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls that were therein, —according to all that he had done unto Libnah.
Tradiditque Dominus Lachis in manus Israel, et cepit eam die altero, atque percussit in ore gladii, omnemque animam quae fuerat in ea, sicut fecerat Lebna.
33 Then, came up Horam, king of Gezer, to help Lachish, —and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had not left him a survivor.
Eo tempore ascendit Horam rex Gazer, ut auxiliaretur Lachis: quem percussit Iosue cum omni populo eius usque ad internecionem.
34 And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish unto Eglon, —and they encamped against it, and fought against it;
Transivitque de Lachis in Eglon, et circumdedit,
35 and captured it on the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and, all the souls that were therein, on that day, devoted he to destruction, —according to all that he had done to Lachish.
atque expugnavit eam eadem die: percussitque in ore gladii omnes animas, quae erant in ea iuxta omnia quae fecerat Lachis.
36 And Joshua went up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon unto Hebron, —and they fought against it;
Ascendit quoque cum omni Israel de Eglon in Hebron, et pugnavit contra eam:
37 and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, with all the souls that were therein—he left not a survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon, —he devoted it to destruction, and all the souls that were therein.
cepit eam, et percussit in ore gladii, regem quoque eius, et omnia oppida regionis illius, universasque animas, quae in ea fuerant commoratae: non reliquit in ea ullas reliquias: sicut fecerat Eglon, sic fecit et Hebron, cuncta quae in ea reperit consumens gladio.
38 Then Joshua turned back, and all Israel with him, unto Debir, —and fought against it;
Inde reversus in Dabir,
39 and captured it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and devoted to destruction every soul that was therein, he left not a survivor, —as he had done unto Hebron, so, did he unto Debir, and unto the king thereof, as also he had done unto Libnah, and unto her king.
cepit eam atque vastavit: regem quoque eius atque omnia per circuitum oppida percussit in ore gladii: non dimisit in ea ullas reliquias: sicut fecerat Hebron et Lebna et regibus earum, sic fecit Dabir et regi illius.
40 So Joshua smote all the land—the hill country, and the south, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings, he left not a survivor, —but, every breathing thing, devoted he to destruction, as Yahweh, God of Israel, had commanded.
Percussit itaque Iosue omnem Terram montanam et meridianam atque campestrem, et Asedoth cum regibus suis: non dimisit in ea ullas reliquias, sed omne quod spirare poterat interfecit, sicut praeceperat ei Dominus Deus Israel,
41 Yea Joshua smote them, from Kadesh-barnea, even as far as Gaza, —and all the land of Goshen, even as far as Gibeon.
a Cadesbarne usque Gazam. Omnem Terram Gessen usque Gabaon,
42 Yea, all these kings and their land, did Joshua capture at one time, —because, Yahweh, God of Israel, fought for Israel.
universosque reges, et regiones eorum uno impetu cepit atque vastavit: Dominus enim Deus Israel pugnavit pro eo.
43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
reversusque est cum omni Israel ad locum castrorum in Galgala.
