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.

1 耶路撒冷王亚多尼·洗德听说约书亚夺取并毁灭了艾城，像对付耶利哥和耶利哥王一样对付艾城和艾城的王，又听说基遍人已经跟以色列人缔结盟约，住在他们中间，

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.

2 便大为惊恐。因为基遍是一座大城，宏伟得像座都城，比艾城更大，城中的人都骁勇善战。

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,

3 耶路撒冷王亚多尼·洗德便派遣使者去见希伯仑王何咸、耶末王毗兰、拉吉王雅非亚和伊矶伦王底璧，说：

4 “Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”

4 “求你们上来帮助我攻打基遍，因为这城已经与约书亚和以色列人缔结盟约。”

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.

5 于是，五位亚摩利王，就是耶路撒冷王、希伯仑王、耶末王、拉吉王和伊矶伦王，便联合起来，率领他们所有的军队在基遍附近扎营，攻打基遍。

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.”

6 基遍人派人去吉甲告诉约书亚说：“住在山区的亚摩利众王正联合起来攻打我们，求你赶快来救我们！不要不顾你的仆人。”

7 So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.

7 于是，约书亚便率领全军，包括所有精兵，从吉甲上去。

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.”

8 耶和华对约书亚说：“不要害怕，我已经把他们交在你手中，他们没有一人能抵挡你。”

9 After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.

9 约书亚从吉甲出发，连夜赶路，突袭敌人。

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.

10 耶和华使亚摩利联军阵脚大乱，以色列人就在基遍大败敌军，在去伯·和仑的上坡路上追杀他们，一直追到亚西加和玛基大。

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.

11 敌人在从伯·和仑到亚西加的下坡路上逃窜的时候，耶和华降下大冰雹，被冰雹砸死的人比以色列人用刀杀死的还要多。

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.”

12 耶和华将亚摩利人交在以色列人手中，那天约书亚当众向耶和华祷告： “太阳啊，停在基遍！ 月亮啊，停在亚雅仑谷！”

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.”

13 果然太阳停住了， 月亮也不动了， 直到以色列人杀败敌人。 《雅煞珥书》记载了这事。约有一天的时间，太阳停留在天空，没有西沉。

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.

14 耶和华这样垂听一个人的祈求是空前绝后的，这是因为耶和华要为以色列争战。

15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.

15 后来，约书亚率领以色列军返回了吉甲的营地。

16 Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

16 那五王逃进玛基大的山洞里，躲藏起来。

17 And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”

17 有人告诉约书亚那五个王藏在玛基大的山洞里，

18 So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.

18 约书亚便下令说：“滚几块大石头堵住洞口，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.”

19 你们不可停下来，要继续追杀敌人，不要让他们逃回城，你们的上帝耶和华已经把他们交在你们手中了。”

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.

20 约书亚和以色列人把敌人杀得大败，几乎全军覆没，一些残余都逃进了坚固的城垒。

21 The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.

21 以色列人都安然无恙地回到约书亚驻扎的玛基大营。再也没有人敢威胁以色列人了。

22 Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”

22 约书亚说：“打开洞口，把里面的五个王押出来见我。”

23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.

23 众人便把耶路撒冷王、希伯仑王、耶末王、拉吉王、伊矶伦王从洞里押出来，带到约书亚面前。

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.

24 约书亚召来全体以色列人，然后对那些跟他一起出征的将领说：“你们上前来，用脚踏在这些王的脖子上。”各将领便照着约书亚的吩咐做了。

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.”

25 约书亚对他们说：“你们不要惊慌害怕，要刚强勇敢，因为耶和华要使你们攻打的所有仇敌都落此下场。”

26 After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.

26 随后约书亚将这五个王杀死，把尸体分别挂在五棵树上，直到傍晚。

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.

27 日落时，约书亚才下令把尸体放下，扔在他们先前躲藏的山洞里，用大石头堵住洞口，石头至今还在那里。

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.

28 约书亚在当天占领了玛基大，把玛基大王和所有的居民都用刀杀了，一个没留。他对待玛基大王跟以前对待耶利哥王一样。

29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.

29 约书亚和以色列军又从玛基大出发，去攻打立拿。

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.

30 耶和华将立拿城和立拿王交在以色列人手中，他们用刀杀了全城的人，一个没留。他们对待立拿王跟以前对待耶利哥王一样。

31 And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.

31 约书亚和以色列军从立拿前往拉吉，他们在城外扎营，攻打拉吉。

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.

32 耶和华将拉吉交在以色列人手中，第二天约书亚便攻占了拉吉，用刀杀了全城的人，就像在立拿所行的一样。

33 At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.

33 基色王何兰前来支持拉吉，结果也被约书亚杀得一个不剩。

34 So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.

34 约书亚又率领以色列全军从拉吉前往伊矶伦，在城外扎营，攻打伊矶伦。

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.

35 他们当天就攻陷该城，用刀杀了城内所有的人，就像在拉吉所行的一样。

36 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.

36 约书亚和全体以色列人又从伊矶伦去攻打希伯仑。

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.

37 他们攻陷该城及其附属城邑，用刀杀了希伯仑王和城邑中的居民，一个没留，就像在伊矶伦所行的一样。

38 Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.

38 然后，约书亚和全体以色列人再回兵攻打底璧，

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.

39 攻取了该城及其附属城邑，擒获底璧王，用刀杀了城中所有的人，一个没留，就像对待希伯仑、立拿和立拿王一样。

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.

40 这样，约书亚征服了整个地区，包括山区、南地、丘陵和山坡及那里的众王。他按照以色列的上帝耶和华的吩咐，消灭了一切有生命气息的，一个没留。

41 Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.

41 约书亚征服了各地，从加低斯·巴尼亚到迦萨，歌珊全境，直到基遍。

42 And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.

42 约书亚能一鼓作气杀败诸王，征服他们的土地，都是因为有以色列的上帝耶和华为以色列人争战。

43 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.

43 之后，约书亚率领以色列人回到吉甲的营地。
