Joshua 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 When Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, specifically, that Joshua had seized Ai, and had overthrown it, (for just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so did he do to Ai and its king,) and that the Gibeonites had fled over to Israel, and were now their confederates,	1 Και ως ηκουσεν Αδωνισεδεκ ο βασιλευς της Ιερουσαλημ οτι ο Ιησους εκυριευσε την Γαι και εξωλοθρευσεν αυτην, οτι, καθως εκαμεν εις την Ιεριχω και εις τον βασιλεα αυτης, ουτως εκαμεν εις την Γαι και εις τον βασιλεα αυτης, και οτι οι κατοικοι της Γαβαων εκαμον ειρηνην μετα του Ισραηλ και εμενον μεταξυ αυτων,
2 he was very afraid. For Gibeon was a great city, and was one of the royal cities, and was greater than the town of Ai, and all its warriors were very strong.	2 εφοβηθησαν σφοδρα? διοτι ητο πολις μεγαλη η Γαβαων, ως μια των βασιλικων πολεων, και διοτι ητο μεγαλητερα της Γαι, και παντες οι ανδρες αυτης δυνατοι.
3 Therefore, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, the king of Hebron, and to Piram, the king of Jarmuth, and also to Japhia, the king of Lachish, and to Debir, the king of Eglon, saying:	3 Δια τουτο απεστειλεν Αδωνισεδεκ ο βασιλευς της Ιερουσαλημ προς τον Ωαμ βασιλεα της Χεβρων, και προς τον Πιραμ βασιλεα της Ιαρμουθ, και προς τον Ιαφια βασιλεα της Λαχεις, και προς τον Δεβειρ βασιλεα της Εγλων, λεγων,
4 “Ascend to me, and bring troops, so that we may fight against Gibeon. For it has fled over to Joshua and the sons of Israel.”	4 Αναβητε προς εμε και βοηθησατε μοι, δια να παταξωμεν την Γαβαων? διοτι εκαμεν ειρηνην μετα του Ιησου και μετα των υιων Ισραηλ.
5 And so, having assembled, 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, together with their armies, went up and encamped around Gibeon, laying siege to it.	5 Και συναχθεντες οι πεντε βασιλεις των Αμορραιων, ο βασιλευς της Ιερουσαλημ, ο βασιλευς της Χεβρων, ο βασιλευς της Ιαρμουθ, ο βασιλευς της Λαχεις, ο βασιλευς της Εγλων, ανεβησαν, αυτοι και παντα τα στρατευματα αυτων, και εστρατοπεδευσαν εμπροσθεν της Γαβαων και επολεμουν εναντιον αυτης.
6 But the inhabitants of the city of Gibeon, when it was besieged, sent to Joshua, who was then staying in the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him: “May you not draw back your hands from helping your servants. Come quickly, and free us, and bring troops. For all the kings of the Amorites, who live in the mountains, have gathered together against us.”	6 Και οι Γαβαωνιται απεστειλαν προς τον Ιησουν εις το στρατοπεδον εις Γαλγαλα, λεγοντες, Μη αποσυρης την χειρα σου απο των δουλων σου? αναβα προς ημας ταχεως και σωσον ημας και βοηθησον ημας? διοτι συνηχθησαν εναντιον ημων παντες οι βασιλεις των Αμορραιων, οι κατοικουντες την ορεινην.
7 And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, and the entire army of warriors with him, very strong men.	7 Και ανεβη ο Ιησους απο Γαλγαλων, αυτος και πας ο λαος ο πολεμιστης μετ' αυτου και παντες οι δυνατοι εν ισχυι.
8 And the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear them. For I have delivered them into your hands. None of them will be able to withstand you.”	8 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Ιησουν, Μη φοβηθης αυτους? διοτι παρεδωκα αυτους εις την χειρα σου? δεν θελει σταθη εμπροσθεν σου ουδεις εξ αυτων.
9 And so Joshua, ascending from Gilgal throughout the night, rushed upon them suddenly.	9 Ηλθε λοιπον επ' αυτους ο Ιησους εξαιφνης, αναβας απο Γαλγαλων δι' ολης της νυκτος.
10 And the Lord set them in disarray before the face of Israel. And he crushed them in a great defeat at Gibeon, and he pursued them along the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and he struck them down, even as far as Azekah and Makkedah.	10 Και κατετροπωσεν αυτους ο Κυριος εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, και επαταξαν αυτους εν σφαγη μεγαλη εν Γαβαων, και κατεδιωξαν αυτους εις την οδον την αναβαινουσαν προς Βαιθ-ωρων, και κατεκοπτον αυτους εως Αζηκα και εως Μακκηδα.
11 And while they were fleeing from the sons of Israel, and were on the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast great stones from heaven upon them, as far as Azekah. And many more were killed by the hailstones, than were struck down by the swords of the sons of Israel.	11 Και ενω, φευγοντες απ' εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, ησαν εν τη καταβασει της Βαιθ-ωρων, ο Κυριος ερριψεν εκ του ουρανου κατ' αυτων λιθους μεγαλους εως Αζηκα, και απεθανον? περισσοτεροι ησαν οι αποθανοντες εκ των λιθων της χαλαζης, παρ' οσους οι υιοι Ισραηλ κατεκοψαν εν μαχαιρα.
12 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, on the day that he handed over the Amorite in the sight of the sons of Israel, and he said before them: “O sun, you shall not move toward Gibeon! O moon, you shall not move toward the valley of Aijalon!”	12 Τοτε ελαλησεν ο Ιησους προς τον Κυριον, καθ' ην ημεραν ο Κυριος παρεδωκε τους Αμορραιους εμπροσθεν των υιων Ισραηλ, και ειπεν ενωπιον του Ισραηλ, Στηθι, ηλιε, επι την Γαβαων, και συ, σεληνη, επι την φαραγγα Αιαλων.
13 And the sun and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves of their enemies. Has this not been written in the book of the just? And so the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and it did not hurry to its rest for the space of one day.	13 Και ο ηλιος εσταθη και η σεληνη εμεινεν, εωσου ο λαος εξεδικηθη τους εχθρους αυτου. Δεν ειναι τουτο γεγραμμενον εν τω βιβλιω του Ιασηρ; Και εσταθη ο ηλιος εν τω μεσω του ουρανου, και δεν εσπευσε να δυση εως μιας ολοκληρου ημερας.
14 Never before and never after was there so long a day, as when the Lord obeyed the voice of a man, and fought for Israel.	14 Και τοιαυτη ημερα δεν υπηρξεν ουτε προτερον ουτε υστερον, ωστε ο Κυριος να ακουση φωνην ανθρωπου? διοτι ο Κυριος επολεμει υπερ του Ισραηλ.
15 And Joshua returned, with all of Israel, into the camp of Gilgal.	15 Και επεστρεψεν ο Ιησους, και πας ο Ισραηλ μετ' αυτου, εις το στρατοπεδον εις Γαλγαλα.
16 For the five kings had fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.	16 Οι δε πεντε βασιλεις ουτοι εφυγον και εκρυφθησαν εις σπηλαιον εν Μακκηδα.
17 And it was reported to Joshua that the five kings had been found hidden in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.	17 Και ανηγγειλαν προς τον Ιησουν, λεγοντες, οι πεντε βασιλεις ευρεθησαν κεκρυμμενοι εις σπηλαιον εν Μακκηδα.
18 And he instructed his companions and said: “Roll vast stones to the mouth of the cave, and station attentive men who will keep them closed.	18 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους, Κυλισατε λιθους μεγαλους εις το στομα του σπηλαιου, και καταστησατε ανθρωπους πλησιον αυτου δια να φυλαττωσιν αυτους?
19 But as for you, do not stay here; instead, pursue the enemies, and cut down the lattermost of those who are fleeing. You shall not permit those whom the Lord God has delivered into your hands to enter into the protection of their cities.”	19 και σεις μη στεκεσθε? καταδιωκετε τους εχθρους σας και παταξατε το οπισθεν αυτων? μη αφησητε αυτους να εισελθωσιν εις τας πολεις αυτων? διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σας παρεδωκεν αυτους εις τας χειρας σας.
20 Thus, the adversaries were struck down in a great defeat, and having been nearly consumed, even to utter annihilation, those who were able to escape from Israel entered into fortified cities.	20 Και αφου ο Ιησους και οι υιοι Ισραηλ ετελειωσαν φονευοντες αυτους εν σφαγη μεγαλη σφοδρα, εωσου εξωλοθρευθησαν, οι λοιποι εξ αυτων, οσοι διεσωθησαν, εισηλθον εις ωχυρωμενας πολεις.
21 And the entire army returned to Joshua at Makkedah, where they were then encamped, in good health and in their full numbers. And no one dared to move his tongue against the sons of Israel.	21 Και πας ο λαος επεστρεψεν εις το στρατοπεδον προς τον Ιησουν εις Μακκηδα εν ειρηνη? ουδεις εκινησε την γλωσσαν αυτου κατα τινος εκ των υιων Ισραηλ.
22 And Joshua instructed, saying, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forward to me the five kings, who are hidden within it.”	22 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους, Ανοιξατε το στομα του σπηλαιου και εξαγαγετε προς εμε τους πεντε βασιλεις εκεινους εκ του σπηλαιου.
23 And the ministers did just as they had been ordered. And they led out to him the 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.	23 Και εκαμον ουτω και εξηγαγον προς αυτον τους πεντε βασιλεις εκεινους εκ του σπηλαιου, τον βασιλεα της Ιερουσαλημ, τον βασιλεα της Χεβρων, τον βασιλεα της Ιαρμουθ, τον βασιλεα της Λαχεις, τον βασιλεα της Εγλων.
24 And when they had been led out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and he said to the leaders of the army who were with him, “Go, and place your feet upon the necks of these kings.” And when they had gone and had tread their feet upon the necks of those who were thrown down,	24 Και αφου εξηγαγον προς τον Ιησουν τους βασιλεις εκεινους, εκαλεσεν ο Ιησους παντας τους ανδρας του Ισραηλ, και ειπε προς τους αρχηγους των πολεμιστων τους ελθοντας μετ' αυτου, Πλησιασατε, βαλετε τους ποδας σας επι τους τραχηλους των βασιλεων τουτων. Και αυτοι επλησιασαν και εβαλον τους ποδας αυτων επι τους τραχηλους αυτων.
25 he spoke to them again: “Do not be afraid, and do not dread. Be strengthened and be steadfast. For so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.”	25 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους, Μη φοβεισθε μηδε δειλιατε? ανδριζεσθε και ενδυναμουσθε? επειδη ουτω θελει καμει ο Κυριος εις παντας τους εχθρους σας, κατα των οποιων μαχεσθε.
26 And Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he suspended them on five gallows. And they hung there until evening.	26 Και μετα ταυτα επαταξεν αυτους ο Ιησους και εθανατωσεν αυτους και εκρεμασεν αυτους εις πεντε ξυλα? και εκρεμοντο εις τα ξυλα εως εσπερας.
27 And when the sun had set, he instructed his assistants that they should take them down from the gallows. And having been taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hidden, and they set vast stones at its mouth, which remain, even to the present.	27 Περι δε την δυσιν του ηλιου, προσεταξεν ο Ιησους, και κατεβιβασαν αυτους απο των ξυλων και ερριψαν αυτους εις το σπηλαιον, οπου ειχον κρυφθη, και εκυλισαν λιθους μεγαλους εις το στομα του σπηλαιου, οιτινες μενουσιν εως της σημερον ημερας.
28 Also on the same day, Joshua seized Makkedah, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and he put to death its king and all its inhabitants. He did not leave in it even the smallest remains. And he did to the king of Makkedah, just as he had done to the king of Jericho.	28 Και εν εκεινη τη ημερα εκυριευσεν ο Ιησους την Μακκηδα, και επαταξεν εν στοματι μαχαιρας αυτην και τον βασιλεα αυτης? εξωλοθρευσεν αυτους και πασας τας ψυχας τας εν αυτη? δεν αφηκεν υπολοιπον? και εκαμεν εις τον βασιλεα της Μακκηδα, καθως εκαμεν εις τον βασιλεα της Ιεριχω.
29 Then he went on, with all of Israel, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against it.	29 Και διεβη ο Ιησους, και πας ο Ισραηλ μετ' αυτου, εκ Μακκηδα εις Λιβνα και επολεμει την Λιβνα.
30 And the Lord delivered it, with its king, into the hands of Israel. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, and all its inhabitants. They did not leave in it any remains. And they did to the king of Libnah, just as they had done to the king of Jericho.	30 Και παρεδωκεν ο Κυριος και αυτην και τον βασιλεα αυτης εις την χειρα του Ισραηλ? και επαταξεν εν στοματι μαχαιρας αυτην και πασας τας ψυχας τας εν αυτη? δεν αφηκεν εν αυτη υπολοιπον? και εκαμεν εις τον βασιλεα αυτης, καθως εκαμεν εις τον βασιλεα της Ιεριχω.
31 From Libnah, with all of Israel, he went on to Lachish. And taking positions around it with his army, he besieged it.	31 Και διεβη ο Ιησους, και πας ο Ισραηλ μετ' αυτου, εκ Λιβνα εις Λαχεις, και εστρατοπεδευσε κατεναντι αυτης και επολεμει αυτην.
32 And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hands of Israel, and he seized it on the following day, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every soul that was in it, just as he had done to Libnah.	32 Και παρεδωκεν ο Κυριος την Λαχεις εις την χειρα του Ισραηλ, και εκυριευσεν αυτην την δευτεραν ημεραν, και επαταξεν εν στοματι μαχαιρας αυτην και πασας τας ψυχας τας εν αυτη, κατα παντα οσα εκαμεν εις την Λιβνα.
33 At that time, Horam, the king of Gezer, went up so that he might assist Lachish. And Joshua struck him with all his people, even unto utter annihilation.	33 Τοτε ανεβη Ωραμ ο βασιλευς της Γεζερ δια να βοηθηση την Λαχεις? και ο Ιησους επαταξεν αυτον και τον λαον αυτου, εωσου δεν αφηκεν εις αυτον υπολοιπον.
34 And he went on from Lachish to Eglon, and he surrounded it.	34 Και διεβη ο Ιησους, και πας ο Ισραηλ μετ' αυτου, εκ Λαχεις εις Εγλων, και εστρατοπεδευσαν κατεναντι αυτης και επολεμουν αυτην?
35 And he also defeated it on the same day. And he struck all the souls that were in it with the edge of the sword, in accord with all that he had done to Lachish.	35 και εκυριευσαν αυτην εν τη ημερα εκεινη, και επαταξαν αυτην εν στοματι μαχαιρας? και εξωλοθρευσεν εν εκεινη τη ημερα πασας τας ψυχας τας εν αυτη, κατα παντα οσα εκαμεν εις την Λαχεις.
36 He also ascended, with all of Israel, from Eglon into Hebron, and he fought against it.	36 Και ανεβη ο Ιησους, και πας ο Ισραηλ μετ' αυτου, εξ Εγλων εις Χεβρων, και επολεμουν αυτην?
37 He seized it and struck it with the edge of the sword, likewise with its king, and all the towns of that region, and all the souls that were staying in it. He did not leave any remains in it. Just as he had done to Eglon, so also did he do to Hebron, consuming with the sword all that he found within it.	37 και εκυριευσαν αυτην και επαταξαν εν στοματι μαχαιρας αυτην και τον βασιλεα αυτης και πασας τας πολεις αυτης και πασας τας ψυχας τας εν αυτη? δεν αφηκεν υπολοιπον? κατα παντα οσα εκαμεν εις την Εγλων? και εξωλοθρευσεν αυτην και πασας τας ψυχας τας εν αυτη.
38 Returning from there to Debir,	38 Και εστρεψεν ο Ιησους, και πας ο Ισραηλ μετ' αυτου? εις Δεβειρ και επολεμουν αυτην?
39 he seized it and laid waste to it, likewise with its king. And all the surrounding towns, he struck with the edge of the sword. He did not leave in it any remains. Just as he had done to Hebron and Libnah, and to their kings, so did he do to Debir and to its king.	39 και εκυριευσεν αυτην και τον βασιλεα αυτης και πασας τας πολεις αυτης? και επαταξαν αυτους εν στοματι μαχαιρας και εξωλοθρευσαν πασας τας ψυχας τας εν αυτη, δεν αφηκεν υπολοιπον? καθως εκαμεν εις την Χεβρων, ουτως εκαμεν εις την Δεβειρ και εις τον βασιλεα αυτης? και καθως εκαμεν εις την Λιβνα και εις τον βασιλεα αυτης.
40 And so Joshua struck the entire land, the mountains, and the south, and the plains, and the descending slopes, with their kings. He did not leave in it any remains, but he put to death all that was able to breathe, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had instructed him,	40 Ουτως επαταξεν ο Ιησους πασαν την γην την ορεινην και την μεσημβρινην και την πεδινην και την Ασδωθ και παντας τους βασιλεις αυτων? δεν αφηκεν υπολοιπον, αλλ' εξωλοθρευσε παν το εχον πνοην, καθως προσεταξε Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ.
41 from Kadesh-barnea, as far as Gaza, with all the land of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.	41 Και επαταξεν αυτους ο Ιησους απο Καδης-βαρνη εως Γαζης, και πασαν την γην Γεσεν, εως Γαβαων.
42 And all their kings and their regions, he seized and destroyed with a single attack. For the Lord, the God of Israel, fought on his behalf.	42 Και παντας τουτους τους βασιλεις και την γην αυτων ο Ιησους εκυριευσε δια μιας, διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ επολεμει υπερ του Ισραηλ.
43 And he returned, with all of Israel, to the place of the encampment at Gilgal.	43 Και επεστρεψεν ο Ιησους, και πας Ισραηλ μετ' αυτου, εις το στρατοπεδον εις Γαλγαλα.
