Giosuè 10

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Quae cum audisset Adonise dec rex Ierusalem, quod scili cet cepisset Iosue Hai et subvertisset eam — sicut enim fecerat Iericho et regi eius, sic fecit Hai et regi illius — et quod pacem fecissent Gabaonitae cum Israel et essent in medio eorum,	1 When Adonisedec king of Jerusalem had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai, and its king,) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates,
2 timuerunt valde. Urbs enim magna erat Gabaon, sicut una regalium civitatum, et maior oppido Hai, omnesque viri eius bellatores fortissimi.	2 He was exceedingly afraid. For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant.
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:	3 Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:
4 “ Ascendite ad me et ferte praesidium, ut expugnemus Gabaon, quia fecit pacem cum Iosue et filiis Israel ”.	4 Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Josue, and to the children of Israel.
5 Congregati igitur ascenderunt quinque reges Amorraeorum: rex Ierusalem, rex Hebron, rex Ierimoth, rex Lachis, rex Eglon simul cum exercitibus suis; et castrametati sunt circa Gabaon oppugnantes eam.	5 So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it.
6 Habitatores autem Gabaon 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 Amorraeorum, qui habitant in montanis ”.	6 But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.
7 Ascenditque Iosue de Galgalis, et omnis exercitus bellatorum cum eo, viri fortissimi.	7 And Josue went up from Galgal, and all the army of the warriors with him, most valiant men.
8 Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: “Ne timeas eos! In manus enim tuas tradidi illos; nullus tibi ex eis resistere poterit ”.	8 And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee.
9 Irruit itaque Iosue super eos repente tota ascendens nocte de Galgalis,	9 So Josue going up from Galgal all the night, came upon them suddenly.
10 et conturbavit eos Dominus a facie Israel; contrivitque plaga magna in Gabaon ac persecutus est per viam ascensus Bethoron et percussit usque Azeca et Maceda.	10 And the Lord troubled them at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda.
11 Cumque fugerent filios Israel et essent in descensu Bethoron, Dominus misit super eos lapides magnos de caelo usque Azeca, et mortui sunt multo plures lapidibus grandinis, quam quos gladio percusserant filii Israel.	11 And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel.
12 Tunc locutus est Iosue Domino in die, qua tradidit Amorraeum in conspectu filiorum Israel, dixitque coram Israel: “ Sol, in Gabaon ne movearis, et luna, in valle Aialon ”.	12 Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon.
13 Steteruntque sol et luna, donec ulcisceretur se gens de inimicis suis. Nonne scriptum est hoc in libro Iusti? Stetit itaque sol in medio caeli et non festinavit occumbere spatio unius fere diei.	13 And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day.
14 Non fuit antea et postea sicut dies illa, oboediente Domino voci hominis, quia Dominus pugnavit pro Israel.	14 There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.
15 Reversusque est Iosue cum omni Israel in castra Galgalae.	15 And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.
16 Fugerant autem quinque reges et se absconderant in spelunca urbis Maceda.	16 For the five kings were fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.
17 Nuntiatumque est Iosue quod inventi essent quinque reges latentes in spelunca urbis Maceda.	17 And it was told Josue that the five kings were found hidden in a cave of the city of Maceda.
18 Qui praecepit: “ Volvite saxa ingentia ad os speluncae et ponite viros, qui clausos custodiant.	18 And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men, to keep them shut up:
19 Vos autem nolite stare, sed persequimini hostes et extremos quoque fugientium caedite; ne dimittatis eos urbium suarum intrare praesidia, quia tradidit eos Dominus Deus vester in manus vestras ”.	19 And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands to shelter themselves in their cities.
20 Caesis igitur adversariis plaga maxima usque ad internecionem, ut reliquiae tantum ex eis effugere possent in civitates munitas,	20 So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities.
21 reversus est omnis exercitus ad Iosue in Maceda ad castra, sani et integri; nullusque contra filios Israel mutire ausus est.	21 And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.
22 Praecepitque Iosue dicens: “ Aperite os speluncae et producite ad me quinque reges, qui in ea latitant ”.	22 And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.
23 Feceruntque sic et eduxerunt ad eum quinque reges de spelunca: regem Ierusalem, regem Hebron, regem Ierimoth, regem Lachis, regem Eglon.	23 And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.
24 Cumque educti essent ad eum, vocavit omnes viros Israel et ait ad principes exercitus, qui secum erant: “Accedite et ponite pedes super colla regum istorum”. Qui cum accessissent et subiectorum colla pedibus calcarent,	24 And when they were Drought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them,
25 rursum ait ad eos: “ Nolite timere nec paveatis; confortamini et estote robusti! Sic enim faciet Dominus cunctis hostibus vestris, adversum quos dimicatis ”.	25 He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.
26 Percussitque Iosue et interfecit eos atque suspendit super quinque ligna; fueruntque suspensi usque ad vesperum.	26 And Josue struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets, and they hung until the evening.
27 Cumque occumberet sol, praecepit Iosue, ut deponerent eos de lignis; et depositos proiecerunt in speluncam, in qua latuerant, et posuerunt super os eius saxa ingentia, quae permanent usque in praesens.	27 And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this 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 ullas reliquias fecitque regi Maceda, sicut fecerat regi Iericho.	28 The same day Josue took Maceda and destroyed it, with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Transivit cum omni Israel de Maceda in Lobna et pugnabat contra eam.	29 And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it:
30 Quam tradidit Dominus cum rege suo in manu Israel, percusseruntque urbem in ore gladii et omnes habitatores eius; non dimiserunt in ea ullas reliquias feceruntque regi Lobna, sicut fecerant regi Iericho.	30 And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho.
31 De Lobna transivit Iosue in Lachis cum omni Israel et, exercitu per gyrum disposito, oppugnabat eam.	31 From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it.
32 Tradiditque Dominus Lachis in manu Israel, qui cepit eam die altero; atque percussit in ore gladii omnemque animam, quae fuerat in ea, sicut fecerat Lobna.	32 And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna.
33 Eo tempore ascendit Horam rex Gazer, ut auxiliaretur Lachis; quem percussit Iosue cum omni populo eius usque ad internecionem.	33 At that time Horam king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and Josue slew him with all his people, so as to leave none alive.
34 Transivitque de Lachis in Eglon cum omni Israel et circumdedit	34 And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it,
35 atque expugnavit eam eadem die percussitque in ore gladii omnes animas, quae erant in ea, iuxta omnia, quae fecerat Lachis.	35 And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis.
36 Ascendit quoque cum omni Israel de Eglon in Hebron et pugnavit contra eam.	36 He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it:
37 Cepitque eam et percussit in ore gladii, regem quoque eius et omnia oppida eius universasque animas, quae ibi fuerant commoratae; non reliquit ullas reliquias: sicut fecerat Eglon, sic fecit et Hebron, cuncta, quae in ea repperit, consumens gladio.	37 Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it.
38 Inde reversus cum omni Israel in Dabir oppugnavit	38 Returning from thence to Dabir,
39 et cepit eam; regem quoque eius et omnia oppida eius percussit in ore gladii; non dimisit in ea ullas reliquias: sicut fecerat Hebron et Lobna et regibus earum, sic fecit Dabir et regi illius.	39 He took it and destroyed it: the king also thereof and all the towns round about he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna and to their kings, so did he to Dabir and to the king thereof.
40 Percussit itaque Iosue omnem terram: montanam et Nageb atque Sephelam et declivia cum regibus suis; non dimisit in ea ullas reliquias, sed omne, quod spirare poterat, interfecit, sicut praeceperat Dominus, Deus Israel.	40 So Josue conquered all the country of the hills and of the south and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord the God of Israel had commanded him,
41 Et percussit eos a Cadesbarne usque Gazam, omnem terram Gosen usque Gabaon,	41 From Cadesbarne even to Gaza. All the land of Gosen even to Gabaon,
42 universosque reges et regiones eorum uno cepit impetu; Dominus enim, Deus Israel, pugnabat pro Israel.	42 And all their kings, and their lands he took and wasted at one onset: for the Lord the God of Israel fought for him.
43 Reversusque est Iosue cum omni Israel ad locum castrorum in Galgala.	43 And he returned with all Israel to the place of the camp in Galgal.
