< Joshua 10 >

1 Now when Adoni-zedek King of Ierusalem had heard how Ioshua had taken Ai and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Iericho and to the King thereof, so he had done to Ai and to the King thereof) and howe the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them,
耶路撒冷王亞多尼‧洗德聽見約書亞奪了艾城,盡行毀滅,怎樣待耶利哥和耶利哥的王,也照樣待艾城和艾城的王,又聽見基遍的居民與以色列人立了和約,住在他們中間,
2 Then they feared exceedingly: for Gibeon was a great citie, as one of the royall cities: for it was greater then Ai, and all the men thereof were mightie.
就甚懼怕;因為基遍是一座大城,如都城一般,比艾城更大,並且城內的人都是勇士。
3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek King of Ierusalem sent vnto Hoham King of Hebron, and vnto Piram King of Iarmuth, and vnto Iapia King of Lachish, and vnto Debir King of Eglon, saying,
所以耶路撒冷王亞多尼‧洗德打發人去見希伯崙王何咸、耶末王毗蘭、拉吉王雅非亞,和伊磯倫王底璧,說:
4 Come vp vnto me, and helpe me, that we may smite Gibeon: for they haue made peace with Ioshua and with the children of Israel.
「求你們上來幫助我,我們好攻打基遍,因為他們與約書亞和以色列人立了和約。」
5 Therefore the fiue Kings of the Amorites, the King of Ierusalem, the King of Hebron, the King of Iarmuth, the King of Lachish, and the King of Eglon gathered themselues together, and went vp, they with all their hostes, and besieged Gibeon, and made warre against it.
於是五個亞摩利王,就是耶路撒冷王、希伯崙王、耶末王、拉吉王、伊磯倫王,大家聚集,率領他們的眾軍上去,對着基遍安營,攻打基遍。
6 And the men of Gibeon sent vnto Ioshua, euen to the hoste to Gilgal, saying, Withdrawe not thine hand from thy seruants: come vp to vs quickly, and saue vs, and helpe vs: for all the Kings of the Amorites which dwell in the mountaines, are gathered together against vs.
基遍人就打發人往吉甲的營中去見約書亞,說:「你不要袖手不顧你的僕人,求你速速上來拯救我們,幫助我們,因為住山地亞摩利人的諸王都聚集攻擊我們。」
7 So Ioshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of warre with him, and all the men of might.
於是約書亞和他一切兵丁,並大能的勇士,都從吉甲上去。
8 And the Lord sayd vnto Ioshua, Feare them not: for I haue giuen them into thine hand: none of them shall stand against thee.
耶和華對約書亞說:「不要怕他們;因為我已將他們交在你手裏,他們無一人能在你面前站立得住。」
9 Ioshua therefore came vnto them suddenly: for he went vp from Gilgal all the night.
約書亞就終夜從吉甲上去,猛然臨到他們那裏。
10 And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth vp to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
耶和華使他們在以色列人面前潰亂。約書亞在基遍大大地殺敗他們,追趕他們,在伯‧和崙的上坡路擊殺他們,直到亞西加和瑪基大。
11 And as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going downe to Beth-horon, the Lord cast downe great stones from heauen vpon them, vntill Azekah, and they dyed: they were more that dyed with the hailestones, then they whom the children of Israel slewe with the sword.
他們在以色列人面前逃跑,正在伯‧和崙下坡的時候,耶和華從天上降大冰雹在他們身上,直降到亞西加,打死他們。被冰雹打死的,比以色列人用刀殺死的還多。
12 Then spake Ioshua to the Lord, in the day when the Lord gaue the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he sayd in the sight of Israel, Sunne, stay thou in Gibeon, and thou moone, in the valley of Aialon.
當耶和華將亞摩利人交付以色列人的日子,約書亞就禱告耶和華,在以色列人眼前說: 日頭啊,你要停在基遍; 月亮啊,你要止在亞雅崙谷。
13 And the Sunne abode, and the moone stood still, vntill the people auenged themselues vpon their enemies: (Is not this written in the booke of Iasher?) so the Sunne abode in the middes of the heauen, and hasted not to goe downe for a whole day.
於是日頭停留,月亮止住, 直等國民向敵人報仇。 這事豈不是寫在雅煞珥書上嗎?日頭在天當中停住,不急速下落,約有一日之久。
14 And there was no day like that before it, nor after it, that the Lord heard the voyce of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.
在這日以前,這日以後,耶和華聽人的禱告,沒有像這日的,是因耶和華為以色列爭戰。
15 After, Ioshua returned, and all Israel with him vnto the campe to Gilgal:
約書亞和以色列眾人回到吉甲的營中。
16 But the fiue Kings fled and were hid in a caue at Makkedah.
那五王逃跑,藏在瑪基大洞裏。
17 And it was tolde Ioshua, saying, The fiue Kings are found hid in a caue at Makkedah.
有人告訴約書亞說:「那五王已經找到了,都藏在瑪基大洞裏。」
18 Then Ioshua said, Roule great stones vpon the mouth of the caue, and set men by it for to keepe them.
約書亞說:「你們把幾塊大石頭滾到洞口,派人看守,
19 But stand ye not still: follow after your enemies, and smite all the hindmost, suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath giuen them into your hand.
你們卻不可耽延,要追趕你們的仇敵,擊殺他們儘後邊的人,不容他們進自己的城邑,因為耶和華-你們的上帝已經把他們交在你們手裏。」
20 And when Ioshua and the children of Israel had made an ende of slaying them with an exceeding great slaughter till they were consumed, and the rest that remained of them were entred into walled cities,
約書亞和以色列人大大殺敗他們,直到將他們滅盡;其中剩下的人都進了堅固的城。
21 Then all the people returned to the campe, to Ioshua at Makkedah in peace: no man mooued his tongue against the children of Israel.
眾百姓就安然回瑪基大營中,到約書亞那裏。沒有一人敢向以色列人饒舌。
22 After, Ioshua sayd, Open the mouth of the caue, and bring out these fiue Kings vnto me forth of the caue.
約書亞說:「打開洞口,將那五王從洞裏帶出來,領到我面前。」
23 And they did so, and brought out those fiue Kings vnto him forth of the caue, euen the King of Ierusalem, the King of Hebron, ye King of Iarmuth, the King of Lachish, and the King of Eglon.
眾人就這樣行,將那五王,就是耶路撒冷王、希伯崙王、耶末王、拉吉王、伊磯倫王,從洞裏帶出來,領到約書亞面前。
24 And when they had brought out those Kings vnto Ioshua, Ioshua called for all the men of Israel, and sayd vnto the chiefe of the men of warre, which went with him, Come neere, set your feete vpon the necks of these Kings: and they came neere and set their feete vpon their necks.
帶出那五王到約書亞面前的時候,約書亞就召了以色列眾人來,對那些和他同去的軍長說:「你們近前來,把腳踏在這些王的頸項上。」他們就近前來,把腳踏在這些王的頸項上。
25 And Ioshua sayd vnto them, Feare not, nor be faint hearted, but be strong and of a good courage: for thus will the Lord doe to all your enemies, against whome ye fight.
約書亞對他們說:「你們不要懼怕,也不要驚惶。應當剛強壯膽,因為耶和華必這樣待你們所要攻打的一切仇敵。」
26 So then Ioshua smote them, and slewe them, and hanged them on fiue trees, and they hanged still vpon the trees vntill the euening.
隨後約書亞將這五王殺死,掛在五棵樹上。他們就在樹上直掛到晚上。
27 And at the going downe of the sunne, Ioshua gaue commandement, that they should take them downe off the trees, and cast them into the caue (wherein they had bene hid) and they layde great stones vpon the caues mouth, which remaine vntill this day.
日頭要落的時候,約書亞一吩咐,人就把屍首從樹上取下來,丟在他們藏過的洞裏,把幾塊大石頭放在洞口,直存到今日。
28 And that same day Ioshua tooke Makkedah and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the King thereof destroyed he with them, and all the soules that were therein, he let none remaine: for hee did to the King of Makkedah as he had done vnto the King of Iericho.
當日,約書亞奪了瑪基大,用刀擊殺城中的人和王;將其中一切人口盡行殺滅,沒有留下一個。他待瑪基大王,像從前待耶利哥王一樣。
29 Then Ioshua went from Makkedah, and all Israel with him vnto Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
約書亞和以色列眾人從瑪基大往立拿去,攻打立拿。
30 And the Lord gaue it also and the King thereof into the hand of Israel: and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein: he let none remaine in it: for he did vnto the King thereof, as he had done vnto the King of Iericho.
耶和華將立拿和立拿的王也交在以色列人手裏。約書亞攻打這城,用刀擊殺了城中的一切人口,沒有留下一個。他待立拿王,像從前待耶利哥王一樣。
31 And Ioshua departed from Libnah, and all Israel with him vnto Lachish, and besieged it, and assaulted it.
約書亞和以色列眾人從立拿往拉吉去,對着拉吉安營,攻打這城。
32 And the Lord gaue Lachish into the hand of Israel, which tooke it the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein, according to all as he had done to Libnah.
耶和華將拉吉交在以色列人的手裏。第二天約書亞就奪了拉吉,用刀擊殺了城中的一切人口,是照他向立拿一切所行的。
33 Then Horam King of Gezer came vp to helpe Lachish: but Ioshua smote him and his people, vntill none of his remained.
那時基色王荷蘭上來幫助拉吉,約書亞就把他和他的民都擊殺了,沒有留下一個。
34 And from Lachish Ioshua departed vnto Eglon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged it, and assaulted it,
約書亞和以色列眾人從拉吉往伊磯倫去,對着伊磯倫安營,攻打這城。
35 And they tooke it the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein he vtterly destroyed the same day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
當日就奪了城,用刀擊殺了城中的人。那日,約書亞將城中的一切人口盡行殺滅,是照他向拉吉一切所行的。
36 Then Ioshua went vp from Eglon, and all Israel with him vnto Hebron, and they fought against it.
約書亞和以色列眾人從伊磯倫上希伯崙去,攻打這城,
37 And when they had taken it, they smote it with the edge of the sword, and the King thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the soules that were therein: he left none remaining, according to all as he had done to Eglon: for he destroyed it vtterly, and all the soules that were therein.
就奪了希伯崙和屬希伯崙的諸城邑,用刀將城中的人與王,並那些城邑中的人口,都擊殺了,沒有留下一個,是照他向伊磯倫所行的,把城中的一切人口盡行殺滅。
38 So Ioshua returned, and all Israel with him to Debir, and fought against it.
約書亞和以色列眾人回到底璧,攻打這城,
39 And when he had taken it, and the King thereof, and all the citie thereof, they smote them with the edge of the sword, and vtterly destroyed all the soules that were therein, he let none remaine: as he did to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the King thereof, as he had also done to Libnah, and to the King thereof.
就奪了底璧和屬底璧的城邑,又擒獲底璧的王,用刀將這些城中的人口盡行殺滅,沒有留下一個。他待底璧和底璧王,像從前待希伯崙和立拿與立拿王一樣。
40 So Ioshua smote all the hill countreys, and the South countreys, and the valleys, and the hill sides, and all their Kings, and let none remaine, but vtterly destroyed euery soule, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded.
這樣,約書亞擊殺全地的人,就是山地、南地、高原、山坡的人,和那些地的諸王,沒有留下一個。將凡有氣息的盡行殺滅,正如耶和華-以色列的上帝所吩咐的。
41 And Ioshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea euen vnto Azzah, and all the countrey of Goshen, euen vnto Gibeon.
約書亞從加低斯‧巴尼亞攻擊到迦薩,又攻擊歌珊全地,直到基遍。
42 And all these Kings, and their land did Ioshua take at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.
約書亞一時殺敗了這些王,並奪了他們的地,因為耶和華-以色列的上帝為以色列爭戰。
43 Afterward, Ioshua and all Israel with him returned vnto the campe in Gilgal.
於是約書亞和以色列眾人回到吉甲的營中。
