Iosue 10
1 Quæ 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 Gabaonitæ ad Israel, et essent fœderati eorum,
Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
2 timuit valde. Urbs enim magna erat Gabaon, et una civitatum regalium, et maior oppido Hai, omnesque bellatores eius fortissimi.
That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
3 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:
Therefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
4 Ad me ascendite, et ferte præsidium, ut expugnemus Gabaon, quare transfugerit ad Iosue, et ad filios Israel.
Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
5 Congregati igitur ascenderunt quinque reges Amorrhæorum: rex Ierusalem, rex Hebron, rex Ierimoth, rex Lachis, rex Eglon, simul cum exercitibus suis, et castrametati sunt circa Gabaon, oppugnantes eam.
Therefore 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, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
6 Habitatores autem Gabaon urbis obsessæ 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 præsidium: convenerunt enim adversum nos omnes reges Amorrhæorum, qui habitant in montanis.
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not forsake thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
7 Ascenditque Iosue de Galgalis, et omnis exercitus bellatorum cum eo, viri fortissimi.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
8 Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Ne timeas eos: in manus enim tuas tradidi illos: nullus ex eis tibi resistere poterit.
And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
9 Irruit itaque Iosue super eos repente, tota nocte ascendens de Galgalis:
Joshua therefore came to them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
10 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.
And the LORD destroyed them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.
11 Cumque fugerent filios Israel, et essent in descensu Beth horon, Dominus misit super eos lapides magnos de cælo usque ad Azeca: et mortui sunt multo plures lapidibus grandinis, quam quos gladio percusserant filii Israel.
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the descent to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them to Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
12 Tunc locutus est Iosue Domino in die, qua tradidit Amorrhæum in conspectu filiorum Israel, dixitque coram eis: Sol contra Gabaon ne movearis, et Luna contra vallem Aialon.
Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 Steteruntque Sol et Luna, donec ulcisceretur se gens de inimicis suis. Nonne scriptum est hoc in libro iustorum? Stetit itaque Sol in medio cæli, et non festinavit occumbere spatio unius diei.
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14 Non fuit antea nec postea tam longa dies, obediente Domino voci hominis, et pugnante pro Israel.
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
15 Reversusque est Iosue cum omni Israel in castra Galgalæ.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Fugerant enim quinque reges, et se absconderant in spelunca urbis Maceda.
But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17 Nunciatumque est Iosue quod inventi essent quinque reges latentes in spelunca urbis Maceda.
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
18 Qui præcepit sociis, et ait: Volvite saxa ingentia ad os speluncæ, et ponite viros industrios, qui clausos custodiant:
And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:
19 vos autem nolite stare, sed persequimini hostes, et extremos quosque fugientium cædite: nec dimittatis eos urbium suarum intrare præsidia, quos tradidit Dominus Deus in manus vestras.
And stay you not, but pursue your enemies, and smite the rear of them; permit them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
20 Cæsis ergo adversariis plaga magna, et usque ad internecionem pene consumptis, hi, qui Israel effugere potuerunt, ingressi sunt civitates munitas.
And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest who remained of them entered into fortified cities.
21 Reversusque est omnis exercitus ad Iosue in Maceda, ubi tunc erant castra, sani et integro numero: nullusque contra filios Israel mutire ausus est.
And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
22 Præcepitque Iosue, dicens: Aperite os speluncæ, et producite ad me quinque reges, qui in ea latitant.
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings to me out of the cave.
23 Feceruntque ministri ut sibi fuerat imperatum: et eduxerunt ad eum quinque reges de spelunca, regem Ierusalem, regem Hebron, regem Ierimoth, regem Lachis, regem Eglon.
And they did so, and brought those five kings to him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
24 Cumque educti 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,
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
25 rursum ait ad eos: Nolite timere, nec paveatis, confortamini et estote robusti: sic enim faciet Dominus cunctis hostibus vestris, adversum quos dimicatis.
And Joshua said to them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
26 Percussitque Iosue, et interfecit eos, atque suspendit super quinque stipites: fueruntque suspensi usque ad vesperum.
And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
27 Cumque occumberet Sol, præcepit sociis ut deponerent eos de patibulis. Qui depositos proiecerunt in speluncam, in qua latuerant, et posuerunt super os eius saxa ingentia, quæ permanent usque in præsens.
And it came to pass at the time of the setting of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had been hid, and laid great stones upon the cave’s mouth, which remain until this very day.
28 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.
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were in it; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.
29 Transivit autem cum omni Israel de Maceda in Lebna, et pugnabat contra eam:
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
30 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.
And the LORD delivered it also, and its king, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it; he let none remain in it; but did to its king as he did to the king of Jericho.
31 De Lebna transivit in Lachis cum omni Israel: et exercitu per gyrum disposito oppugnabat eam.
And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
32 Tradiditque Dominus Lachis in manus Israel, et cepit eam die altero, atque percussit in ore gladii, omnemque animam quæ fuerat in ea, sicut fecerat Lebna.
And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 Eo tempore ascendit Horam rex Gazer, ut auxiliaretur Lachis: quem percussit Iosue cum omni populo eius usque ad internecionem.
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34 Transivitque de Lachis in Eglon, et circumdedit,
And from Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 atque expugnavit eam eadem die: percussitque in ore gladii omnes animas, quæ erant in ea iuxta omnia quæ fecerat Lachis.
And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 Ascendit quoque cum omni Israel de Eglon in Hebron, et pugnavit contra eam:
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it:
37 cepit eam, et percussit in ore gladii, regem quoque eius, et omnia oppida regionis illius, universasque animas, quæ in ea fuerant commoratæ: non reliquit in ea ullas reliquias: sicut fecerat Eglon, sic fecit et Hebron, cuncta quæ in ea reperit consumens gladio.
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king, and all its cities and all the souls that were in them; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were in it.
38 Inde reversus in Dabir,
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
39 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.
And he took it, and its king, and all its cities; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were in them; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.
40 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 præceperat ei Dominus Deus Israel,
So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
41 a Cadesbarne usque Gazam. Omnem Terram Gosen usque Gabaon,
And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
42 universosque reges, et regiones eorum uno impetu cepit atque vastavit: Dominus enim Deus Israel pugnavit pro eo.
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 Reversusque est cum omni Israel ad locum castrorum in Galgala.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp in Gilgal.
