1Now 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 her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;2That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.3Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,4Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.5Therefore 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.6And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from 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.7So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.8And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.9Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.10And the LORD discomfited 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 unto Makkedah.11And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.12Then spake 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.13And 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.14And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.15And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.16But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.17And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.18And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:19And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.20And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.21And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.22Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.23And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto 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.24And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which 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.25And Joshua said unto 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.26And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.27And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.28And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.29Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:30And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.31And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:32And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.33Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.34And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:35And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.36And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:37And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.38And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:39And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.40So 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.41And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.42And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.43And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
1فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَدُونِي صَادَقَ مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَايَ وَحَرَّمَهَا. كَمَا فَعَلَ بِأَرِيحَا وَمَلِكِهَا فَعَلَ بِعَايٍ وَمَلِكِهَا، وَأَنَّ سُكَّانَ جِبْعُونَ قَدْ صَالَحُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَانُوا فِي وَسَطِهِمْ،2خَافَ جِدّاً، لأَنَّ جِبْعُونَ مَدِينَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ كَإِحْدَى الْمُدُنِ الْمَلَكِيَّةِ، وَهِيَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ عَايٍ، وَكُلُّ رِجَالِهَا جَبَابِرَةٌ.3فَأَرْسَلَ أَدُونِي صَادَقَ مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى هُوهَامَ مَلِكِ حَبْرُونَ، وَفِرْآمَ مَلِكِ يَرْمُوتَ، وَيَافِيعَ مَلِكِ لَخِيشَ، وَدَبِيرَ مَلِكِ عَجْلُونَ يَقُولُ،4اصْعَدُوا إِلَيَّ وَأَعِينُونِي، فَنَضْرِبَ جِبْعُونَ لأَنَّهَا صَالَحَتْ يَشُوعَ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.5فَاجْتَمَعَ مُلُوكُ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الْخَمْسَةُ، مَلِكُ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمَلِكُ حَبْرُونَ وَمَلِكُ يَرْمُوتَ وَمَلِكُ لَخِيشَ وَمَلِكُ عَجْلُونَ، وَصَعِدُوا هُمْ وَكُلُّ جُيُوشِهِمْ وَنَزَلُوا عَلَى جِبْعُونَ وَحَارَبُوهَا.6فَأَرْسَلَ أَهْلُ جِبْعُونَ إِلَى يَشُوعَ إِلَى الْمَحَلَّةِ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ يَقُولُونَ، لاَ تُرْخِ يَدَيْكَ عَنْ عَبِيدِكَ. اصْعَدْ إِلَيْنَا عَاجِلاً وَخَلِّصْنَا وَأَعِنَّا، لأَنَّهُ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْنَا جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي الْجَبَلِ.7فَصَعِدَ يَشُوعُ مِنَ الْجِلْجَالِ هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ مَعَهُ وَكُلُّ جَبَابِرَةِ الْبَأْسِ.8فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ، لاَ تَخَفْهُمْ، لأَنِّي بِيَدِكَ قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُهُمْ. لاَ يَقِفُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ بِوَجْهِكَ.9فَأَتَى إِلَيْهِمْ يَشُوعُ بَغْتَةً. صَعِدَ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ مِنَ الْجِلْجَالِ.10فَأَزْعَجَهُمُ الرَّبُّ أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَضَرَبَهُمْ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً فِي جِبْعُونَ، وَطَرَدَهُمْ فِي طَرِيقِ عَقَبَةِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ، وَضَرَبَهُمْ إِلَى عَزِيقَةَ وَإِلَى مَقِّيدَةَ.11وَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ هَارِبُونَ مِنْ أَمَامِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَهُمْ فِي مُنْحَدَرِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ، رَمَاهُمُ الرَّبُّ بِحِجَارَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى عَزِيقَةَ فَمَاتُوا. وَالَّذِينَ مَاتُوا بِحِجَارَةِ الْبَرَدِ هُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالسَّيْفِ.12حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ يَشُوعُ لِلرَّبَّ، يَوْمَ أَسْلَمَ الرَّبُّ الأَمُورِيِّينَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَمَامَ عُيُونِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَا شَمْسُ دُومِي عَلَى جِبْعُونَ، وَيَا قَمَرُ عَلَى وَادِي أَيَّلُونَ.13فَدَامَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَوَقَفَ الْقَمَرُ حَتَّى انْتَقَمَ الشَّعْبُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ. أَلَيْسَ هَذَا مَكْتُوباً فِي سِفْرِ يَاشَرَ. فَوَقَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي كَبِدِ السَّمَاءِ وَلَمْ تَعْجَلْ لِلْغُرُوبِ نَحْوَ يَوْمٍ كَامِلٍ.14وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَبْلَهُ وَلاَ بَعْدَهُ سَمِعَ فِيهِ الرَّبُّ صَوْتَ إِنْسَانٍ. لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ حَارَبَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.15ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى الْمَحَلَّةِ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ.16فَهَرَبَ أُولَئِكَ الْخَمْسَةُ الْمُلُوكِ وَاخْتَبَأُوا فِي مَغَارَةٍ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ.17فَأُخْبِرَ يَشُوعُ، قَدْ وُجِدَ الْمُلُوكُ الْخَمْسَةُ مُخْتَبِئِينَ فِي مَغَارَةٍ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ.18فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ، دَحْرِجُوا حِجَارَةً عَظِيمَةً عَلَى فَمِ الْمَغَارَةِ، وَأَقِيمُوا عَلَيْهَا رِجَالاً لأَجْلِ حِفْظِهِمْ.19وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلاَ تَقِفُوا، بَلِ اسْعُوا وَرَاءَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ وَاضْرِبُوا مُؤَخَّرَهُمْ. لاَ تَدَعُوهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ مُدُنَهُمْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ قَدْ أَسْلَمَهُمْ بِيَدِكُمْ.20وَلَمَّا انْتَهَى يَشُوعُ وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ ضَرْبِهِمْ ضَرْبَةً عَظِيمَةً جِدّاً حَتَّى فَنُوا، وَالشَّرَدُ الَّذِينَ شَرَدُوا مِنْهُمْ دَخَلُوا الْمُدُنَ الْمُحَصَّنَةَ،21رَجَعَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ إِلَى الْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى يَشُوعَ فِي مَقِّيدَةَ بِسَلاَمٍ. لَمْ يَسُنَّ أَحَدٌ لِسَانَهُ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.22فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ، افْتَحُوا فَمَ الْمَغَارَةِ وَأَخْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ هَؤُلاَءِ الْخَمْسَةَ الْمُلُوكِ مِنَ الْمَغَارَةِ.23فَفَعَلُوا كَذَلِكَ، وَأَخْرَجُوا إِلَيْهِ أُولَئِكَ الْمُلُوكَ الْخَمْسَةَ مِنَ الْمَغَارَةِ، مَلِكَ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَمَلِكَ حَبْرُونَ وَمَلِكَ يَرْمُوتَ وَمَلِكَ لَخِيشَ وَمَلِكَ عَجْلُونَ.24وَكَانَ لَمَّا أَخْرَجُوا أُولَئِكَ الْمُلُوكَ إِلَى يَشُوعَ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ دَعَا كُلَّ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ لِقُوَّادِ رِجَالِ الْحَرْبِ الَّذِينَ سَارُوا مَعَهُ، تَقَدَّمُوا وَضَعُوا أَرْجُلَكُمْ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِ هَؤُلاَءِ الْمُلُوكِ. فَتَقَدَّمُوا وَوَضَعُوا أَرْجُلَهُمْ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ.25فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ، لاَ تَخَافُوا وَلاَ تَرْتَعِبُوا. تَشَدَّدُوا وَتَشَجَّعُوا. لأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ الرَّبُّ بِجَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُحَارِبُونَهُمْ.26وَضَرَبَهُمْ يَشُوعُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ وَعَلَّقَهُمْ عَلَى خَمْسِ خَشَبٍ، وَبَقُوا مُعَلَّقِينَ عَلَى الْخَشَبِ حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.27وَكَانَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ أَنَّ يَشُوعَ أَمَرَ فَأَنْزَلُوهُمْ عَنِ الْخَشَبِ وَطَرَحُوهُمْ فِي الْمَغَارَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَبَأُوا فِيهَا، وَوَضَعُوا حِجَارَةً كَبِيرَةً عَلَى فَمِ الْمَغَارَةِ حَتَّى إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ.28وَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ مَقِّيدَةَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَضَرَبَهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَحَرَّمَ مَلِكَهَا هُوَ وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِداً. وَفَعَلَ بِمَلِكِ مَقِّيدَةَ كَمَا فَعَلَ بِمَلِكِ أَرِيحَا.29ثُمَّ اجْتَازَ يَشُوعُ مِنْ مَقِّيدَةَ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى لِبْنَةَ، وَحَارَبَ لِبْنَةَ.30فَدَفَعَهَا الرَّبُّ هِيَ أَيْضاً بِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَ مَلِكِهَا، فَضَرَبَهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ بِهَا شَارِداً، وَفَعَلَ بِمَلِكِهَا كَمَا فَعَلَ بِمَلِكِ أَرِيحَا.31ثُمَّ اجْتَازَ يَشُوعُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ لِبْنَةَ إِلَى لَخِيشَ وَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَحَارَبَهَا.32فَدَفَعَ الرَّبُّ لَخِيشَ بِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَخَذَهَا فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي وَضَرَبَهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ بِلِبْنَةَ.33حِينَئِذٍ صَعِدَ هُورَامُ مَلِكُ جَازَرَ لإِعَانَةِ لَخِيشَ، وَضَرَبَهُ يَشُوعُ مَعَ شَعْبِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يُبْقِ لَهُ شَارِداً.34ثُمَّ اجْتَازَ يَشُوعُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ لَخِيشَ إِلَى عَجْلُونَ فَنَزَلُوا عَلَيْهَا وَحَارَبُوهَا،35وَأَخَذُوهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَضَرَبُوهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَحَرَّمَ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ بِلَخِيشَ.36ثُمَّ صَعِدَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ مِنْ عَجْلُونَ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ وَحَارَبُوهَا،37وَأَخَذُوهَا وَضَرَبُوهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ مَعَ مَلِكِهَا وَكُلِّ مُدُنِهَا وَكُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِداً حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا فَعَلَ بِعَجْلُونَ، فَحَرَّمَهَا وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا.38ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى دَبِيرَ وَحَارَبَهَا،39وَأَخَذَهَا مَعَ مَلِكِهَا وَكُلِّ مُدُنِهَا، وَضَرَبُوهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَحَرَّمُوا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ بِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِداً. كَمَا فَعَلَ بِحَبْرُونَ كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ بِدَبِيرَ وَمَلِكِهَا، وَكَمَا فَعَلَ بِلِبْنَةَ وَمَلِكِهَا.40فَضَرَبَ يَشُوعُ كُلَّ أَرْضِ الْجَبَلِ وَالْجَنُوبِ وَالسَّهْلِ وَالسُّفُوحِ وَكُلَّ مُلُوكِهَا. لَمْ يُبْقِ شَارِداً، بَلْ حَرَّمَ كُلَّ نَسَمَةٍ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.41فَضَرَبَهُمْ يَشُوعُ مِنْ قَادِشِ بَرْنِيعَ إِلَى غَزَّةَ وَجَمِيعَ أَرْضِ جُوشِنَ إِلَى جِبْعُونَ.42وَأَخَذَ يَشُوعُ جَمِيعَ أُولَئِكَ الْمُلُوكِ وَأَرْضِهِمْ دُفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَارَبَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.43ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعَهُ إِلَى الْمَحَلَّةِ إِلَى الْجِلْجَالِ.
