Joshua 10
1 And it cometh to pass, when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heareth that Joshua hath captured Ai, and doth devote it (as he had done to Jericho and to her king so he hath done to Ai and to her king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon have made peace with Israel, and are in 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 that they are greatly afraid, because Gibeon [is] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [is] greater than Ai, and all its men — heroes.
timuit valde. Urbs enim magna erat Gabaon, et una civitatum regalium, et maior oppido Hai, omnesque bellatores eius fortissimi.
3 And Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sendeth 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, and we 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 And five kings of the Amorite (the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon) are gathered together, and go up, they and all their camps, and encamp against Gibeon, and fight 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 And the men of Gibeon send unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, saying, 'Let not thy hand cease from thy servants; come up unto us [with] haste, and give safety to us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorite, dwelling in the hill-country, have been assembled 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 And Joshua goeth 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 Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'Be not afraid of them, for into thy hand I have given them, there doth not stand a man of them in thy presence.'
Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Ne timeas eos: in manus enim tuas tradidi illos: nullus ex eis tibi resistere poterit.
9 And Joshua cometh in unto them suddenly (all the night he hath gone up from Gilgal),
Irruit itaque Iosue super eos repente, tota nocte ascendens de Galgalis:
10 and Jehovah doth crush them before Israel, and it smiteth them — a great smiting — at Gibeon, and pursueth them the way of the ascent of Beth-Horon, and smiteth them unto Azekah, and unto 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 cometh to pass, in their fleeing from the face of Israel — they [are] in the descent of Beth-Horon — and Jehovah hath cast upon them great stones out of the heavens, unto Azekah, and they die; more are they who have died by the hailstones than they whom the sons of Israel have slain by 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 speaketh Joshua to Jehovah in the day of Jehovah's giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he saith, before the eyes of Israel, 'Sun — in Gibeon stand still; and moon — in the valley of Ajalon;'
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 and the sun standeth still, and the moon hath stood — till the nation taketh vengeance [on] its enemies; is it not written on the Book of the Upright, 'and the sun standeth in the midst of the heavens, and hath not hasted to go in — as a perfect 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 hath not been like that day before it or after it, for Jehovah's hearkening to the voice of a man; for Jehovah is fighting for Israel.
Non fuit antea nec postea tam longa dies, obediente Domino voci hominis, et pugnante pro Israel.
15 And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
Reversusque est Iosue cum omni Israel in castra Galgalae.
16 And these five kings flee, and are hidden in a cave at Makkedah,
Fugerant enim quinque reges, et se absconderant in spelunca urbis Maceda.
17 and it is declared to Joshua, saying, 'The five kings have been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah.'
Nunciatumque est Iosue quod inventi essent quinque reges latentes in spelunca urbis Maceda.
18 And Joshua saith, 'Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and appoint 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 and ye, stand not, pursue after your enemies, and ye have smitten the hindmost of them; suffer them not to go in unto their cities, for Jehovah your God hath given 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 cometh to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel finish to smite them — a very great smiting, till they are consumed, and the remnant who have remained of them go in unto the fenced cities,
Caesis ergo adversariis plaga magna, et usque ad internecionem pene consumptis, hi, qui Israel effugere potuerunt, ingressi sunt civitates munitas.
21 that all the people turn back to the camp, unto Joshua, [at] Makkedah, in peace; none moved sharply his tongue against 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 And Joshua saith, 'Open ye the mouth of the cave, and bring out unto me these five kings from the cave;'
Praecepitque Iosue, dicens: Aperite os speluncae, et adducite ad me quinque reges, qui in ea latitant.
23 and they do so, and bring out unto him these five kings from the cave: 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 cometh to pass, when they bring out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua calleth unto every man of Israel, and saith unto the captains of the men of war, who have gone with him, 'Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings;' and they draw near, and set their feet on their necks.
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 And Joshua saith unto them, 'Fear not, nor be affrighted; be strong and courageous; for thus doth Jehovah do to all your enemies with whom ye are fighting;'
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 smiteth them afterwards, and putteth them to death, and hangeth them on five trees; and they are hanging on the trees till the evening.
Percussitque Iosue, et interfecit eos, atque suspendit super quinque stipites: fueruntque suspensi usque ad vesperum.
27 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the going in of the sun, Joshua hath commanded, and they take them down from off the trees, and cast them unto the cave where they had been hid, and put great stones on the mouth of the cave till 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 Makkedah hath Joshua captured on that day, and he smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and its king he hath devoted, them and every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant; and he doth to the king of Makkedah as he did to 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 passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah [to] Libnah, and fighteth with Libnah;
Transivit autem cum omni Israel de Maceda in Lebna, et pugnabat contra eam:
30 and Jehovah giveth also it into the hand of Israel, and its king, and it smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it — it left not in it a remnant; and it doth to its king as it did to 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 passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and encampeth against it, and fighteth against it;
De Lebna transivit in Lachis cum omni Israel: et exercitu per gyrum disposito oppugnabat eam.
32 And Jehovah giveth Lachish into the hand of Israel, and it captureth it on the second day, and smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it, according to all that it did to 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 Than hath Horam king of Gezer come up to help Lachish, and Joshua smiteth him and his people, till he hath not left to him a remnant.
Eo tempore ascendit Horam rex Gazer, ut auxiliaretur Lachis: quem percussit Iosue cum omni populo eius usque ad internecionem.
34 And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish to Eglon, and they encamp against it, and fight against it,
Transivitque de Lachis in Eglon, et circumdedit,
35 and capture it on that day, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and every person who [is] in it on that day he hath devoted, according to all that he did 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 goeth up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron, and they fight against it,
Ascendit quoque cum omni Israel de Eglon in Hebron, et pugnavit contra eam:
37 and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant — according to all that he did to Eglon — and doth devote it, and every person who [is] in it.
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 And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fighteth against it,
Inde reversus in Dabir,
39 and captureth it, and its king, and all its cities, and they smite them by the mouth of the sword, and devote every person who [is] in it — he hath not left a remnant; as he did to Hebron so he did to Debir, and to its king, and as he did to Libnah, and to its 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 And Joshua smiteth all the land of the hill-country, and of the south, and of the low-country, and of the springs, and all their kings — he hath not left a remnant, and all that doth breathe he hath devoted, as Jehovah, God of Israel, 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 And Joshua smiteth them from Kadesh-Barnea, even unto Gaza, and all the land of Goshen, even unto Gibeon;
a Cadesbarne usque Gazam. Omnem Terram Gessen usque Gabaon,
42 and all these kings and their land hath Joshua captured [at] one time, for Jehovah, God of Israel, is fighting for Israel.
universosque reges, et regiones eorum uno impetu cepit atque vastavit: Dominus enim Deus Israel pugnavit pro eo.
43 and Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.
reversusque est cum omni Israel ad locum castrorum in Galgala.
