Joshua

The conquest and division of the land of Canaan

The narrative of Israel's entry into Canaan under Joshua, the conquest of Jericho and other cities, and the territorial allotment among the twelve tribes. It closes with Joshua's covenant renewal at Shechem.

第1章

耶和华的仆人摩西死了以后、耶和华晓谕摩西的帮手嫩的儿子约书亚、说、

Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses` minister, saying,

我的仆人摩西死了。现在你要起来、和众百姓过这约但河、往我所要赐给以色列人的地去。

Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

凡你们脚掌所踏之地、我都照着我所应许摩西的话赐给你们了。

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses.

从旷野、和这利巴嫩、直到伯拉大河、赫人的全地、又到大海日落之处、都要作你们的境界。

From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.

你平生的日子、必无一人能在你面前站立得住．我怎样与摩西同在、也必照样与你同在．我必不撇下你、也不丢弃你。

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life. as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

你当刚强壮胆．因为你必使这百姓承受那地为业、就是我向他们列祖起誓应许赐给他们的地。

Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

只要刚强、大大壮胆、谨守遵行我仆人摩西所吩咐你的一切律法．不可偏离左右、使你无论往那里去、都可以顺利。

Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest.

这律法书不可离开你的口．总要昼夜思想、好使你谨守遵行这书上所写的一切话．如此你的道路就可以亨通、凡事顺利。

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

我岂没有吩咐你么．你当刚强壮胆．不要惧怕、也不要惊惶、因为你无论往那里去、耶和华你的神必与你同在。

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

于是约书亚吩咐百姓的官长、说、

Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

你们要走遍营中、吩咐百姓、说、当豫备食物．因为三日之内、你们要过这约但河、进去得耶和华你们神赐你们为业之地。

Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it.

约书亚对流便人、迦得人、和玛拿西半支派的人、说、

And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,

你们要追念耶和华的仆人摩西所吩咐你们的话、说、耶和华你们的神使你们得享平安、也必将这地赐给你们。

Remember the word which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God giveth you rest, and will give you this land.

你们的妻子、孩子、和牲畜都可以留在约但河东摩西所给你们的地．但你们中间一切大能的勇士、都要带着兵器、在你们的弟兄前面过去、帮助他们．

Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but ye shall pass over before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them;

等到耶和华使你们的弟兄、像你们一样得享平安、并且得着耶和华你们神所赐他们为业之地．那时才可以回你们所得之地、承受为业、就是耶和华的仆人摩西在约但河东向日出之地所给你们的。

until Jehovah have given your brethren rest, as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed the land which Jehovah your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising.

他们回答约书亚说、你所吩咐我们行的、我们都必行．你所差遣我们去的、我们都必去。

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go.

我们从前在一切事上怎样听从摩西、现在也必照样听从你．惟愿耶和华你的神与你同在、像与摩西同在一样。

According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only Jehovah thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

无论甚么人违背你的命令、不听从你所吩咐他的一切话、就必治死他。你只要刚强壮胆。

Whosoever he be that shall rebel against thy commandment, and shall not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of good courage.

第2章

当下嫩的儿子约书亚从什亭暗暗打发两个人作探子、吩咐说、你们去窥探那地、和耶利哥。于是二人去了、来到一个妓女名叫喇合的家里、就在那里躺卧。

And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go, view the land, and Jericho. And they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay there.

有人告诉耶利哥王说、今夜有以色列人来到这里窥探此地。

And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the land.

耶利哥王打发人去见喇合说、那来到你这里、进了你家的人、要交出来．因为他们来窥探全地。

And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, that are entered into thy house; for they are come to search out all the land.

女人将二人隐藏、就回答说、那人果然到我这里来．他们是那里来的我却不知道。

And the woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yea, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were:

天黑、要关城门的时候、他们出去了．往哪里去我却不知道．你们快快的去追赶、就必追上。

and it came to pass about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; whither the men went I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye will overtake them.

（先是女人领二人上了房顶、将他们藏在那里所摆的麻秸中。）

But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.

那些人就往约但河的渡口追赶他们去了．追赶他们的人一出去、城门就关了。

And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they that pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.

二人还没有躺卧、女人就上房顶到他们那里、

And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;

对他们说、我知道耶和华已经把这地赐给你们、并且因你们的缘故我们都惊慌了．这地的一切居民、在你们面前心都消化了。

and she said unto the men, I know that Jehovah hath given you the land, and that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.

因为我们听见你们出埃及的时候、耶和华怎样在你们前面使红海的水干了．并且你们怎样待约但河东的两个亚摩利王西宏和噩、将他们尽行毁灭。

For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

我们一听见这些事、心就消化了。因你们的缘故、并无一人有胆气．耶和华你们的神、本是上天下地的神。

And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Jehovah your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.

现在我既是恩待你们、求你们指着耶和华向我起誓、也要恩待我父家、并给我一个实在的证据、

Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye also will deal kindly with my father`s house, and give me a true token;

要救活我的父母、弟兄、姐妹、和一切属他们的、拯救我们性命不死。

and that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death.

二人对他说、你若不泄漏我们这件事、我们情愿替你们死．耶和华将这地赐给我们的时候、我们必以慈爱诚实待你。

And the men said unto her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business; and it shall be, when Jehovah giveth us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

于是女人用绳子将二人从窗户里缒下去．因他的房子是在城墙边上、他也住在城墙上。

Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the side of the wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

他对他们说、你们且往山上去、恐怕追赶的人碰见你们．要在那里隐藏三天、等追赶的人回来、然后才可以走你们的路。

And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light upon you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

二人对他说、你要这样行．不然、你叫我们所起的誓、就与我们无干了。

And the men said unto her, We will be guiltless of this thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

我们来到这地的时候、你要把这条朱红线绳系在缒我们下去的窗户上．并要使你的父母、弟兄、和你父的全家、都聚集在你家中。

Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt gather unto thee into the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father`s household.

凡出了你家门往街上去的、他的罪必归到自己的头上〈罪原文作血〉与我们无干了．凡在你家里的、若有人下手害他、流他血的罪、就归到我们的头上。

And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.

你若泄漏我们这件事、你叫我们所起的誓、就与我们无干了。

But if thou utter this our business, then we shall be guiltless of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

女人说、照你们的话行罢。于是打发他们去了．又把朱红线绳系在窗户上。

And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

二人到山上、在那里住了三天、等着追赶的人回去了。追赶的人一路找他们、却找不着。

And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.

二人就下山回来、过了河、到嫩的儿子约书亚那里、向他述说所遭遇的一切事。

Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.

又对约书亚说、耶和华果然将那全地交在我们手中、那地的一切居民、在我们面前心都消化了。

And they said unto Joshua, Truly Jehovah hath delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us.

第3章

约书亚清早起来、和以色列众人都离开什亭、来到约但河、就住在那里、等候过河。

And Joshua rose up early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over.

过了三天、官长走遍营中、

And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp;

吩咐百姓说、你们看见耶和华你们神的约柜、又见祭司利未人抬着、就要离开所住的地方、跟着约柜去。

and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.

只是你们和约柜相离、要量二千肘．不可与约柜相近、使你们知道所当走的路．因为这条路你们向来没有走过。

Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

约书亚吩咐百姓说、你们要自洁．因为明天耶和华必在你们中间行奇事。

And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow Jehovah will do wonders among you.

约书亚又吩咐祭司说、你们抬起约柜、在百姓前头过去。于是他们抬起约柜、在百姓前头走。

And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

耶和华对约书亚说、从今日起、我必使你在以色列众人眼前尊大、使他们知道我怎样与摩西同在、也必照样与你同在。

And Jehovah said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.

你要吩咐抬约柜的祭司说、你们到了约但河的水边上、就要在约但河水里站住。

And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, ye shall stand still in the Jordan.

约书亚对以色列人说、你们近前来、听耶和华你们神的话。

And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of Jehovah your God.

约书亚说、看哪、普天下主的约柜必在你们前头过去到约但河里．因此你们就知道在你们中间有永生神．并且他必在你们面前赶出迦南人、赫人、希未人、比利洗人、革迦撒人、亚摩利人、耶布斯人。

And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.

Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into the Jordan.

你们现在要从以色列支派中拣选十二个人、每支派一人．

Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.

等到抬普天下主耶和华约柜的祭司把脚站在约但河水里、约但河的水、就是从上往下流的水、必然断绝、立起成垒。

And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap.

百姓离开帐棚、要过约但河的时候、抬约柜的祭司、乃在百姓的前头、

And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, the priests that bare the ark of the covenant being before the people;

他们到了约但河、脚一入水、（原来约但河水、在收割的日子、涨过两岸）

and when they that bare the ark were come unto the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (for the Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest,)

那从上往下流的水、便在极远之地、撒拉但旁的亚当城那里停住、立起成垒．那往亚拉巴的海、就是盐海、下流的水、全然断绝。于是百姓在耶利哥的对面过去了。

that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

抬耶和华约柜的祭司在约但河中的干地上站定．以色列众人都从干地上过去、直到国民尽都过了约但河。

And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation were passed clean over the Jordan.

第4章

国民尽都过了约但河、耶和华就对约书亚说、

And it came to pass, when all the nation were clean passed over the Jordan, that Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying,

你从民中要拣选十二个人、每支派一人、

Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,

吩咐他们说、你们从这里、从约但河中、祭司脚站定的地方、取十二块石头带过去、放在你们今夜要住宿的地方。

and command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests` feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place, where ye shall lodge this night.

于是约书亚将他从以色列人中所豫备的那十二个人、每支派一人、都召了来．

Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:

对他们说、你们下约但河中、过到耶和华你们神的约柜前头、按着以色列人十二支派的数目、每人取一块石头扛在肩上。

and Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;

这些石头在你们中间可以作为证据．日后你们的子孙问你们说、这些石头、是甚么意思．

that this may be a sign among you, that, when your children ask in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?

你们就对他们说、这是因为约但河的水、在耶和华的约柜前断绝．约柜过约但河的时候、约但河的水就断绝了．这些石头要作以色列人永远的记念。

then ye shall say unto them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.

以色列人就照约书亚所吩咐的、按着以色列人支派的数目、从约但河中取了十二块石头、都遵耶和华所吩咐约书亚的行了．他们把石头带过去、到他们所住宿的地方、就放在那里。

And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

约书亚另把十二块石头立在约但河中、在抬约柜的祭司脚站立的地方．直到今日、那石头还在那里。

And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests that bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.

抬约柜的祭司站在约但河中、等到耶和华晓谕约书亚吩咐百姓的事办完了、是照摩西所吩咐约书亚的一切话．于是百姓急速过去了。

For the priests that bare the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.

众百姓尽都过了河、耶和华的约柜和祭司就在百姓面前过去。

And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of Jehovah passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.

流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人、都照摩西所吩咐他们的、带着兵器在以色列人前头过去。

And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:

约有四万人、都准备打仗、在耶和华面前过去、到耶利哥的平原、等候上阵。

about forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before Jehovah unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

当那日耶和华使约书亚在以色列众人眼前尊大．在他平生的日子、百姓敬畏他、像从前敬畏摩西一样。

On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.

耶和华晓谕约书亚说、

And Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying,

你吩咐抬法柜的祭司、从约但河里上来。

Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.

约书亚就吩咐祭司说、你们从约但河里上来。

Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Jordan.

抬耶和华约柜的祭司从约但河里上来、脚掌刚落旱地、约但河的水就流到原处、仍旧涨过两岸。

And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah were come up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests` feet were lifted up unto the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and went over all its banks, as aforetime.

正月初十日、百姓从约但河里上来、就在吉甲、在耶利哥的东边安营。

And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.

他们从约但河中取来的那十二块石头、约书亚就立在吉甲．

And those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal.

对以色列人说、日后你们的子孙问他们的父亲说、这些石头是甚么意思．

And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?

你们就告诉他们说、以色列人曾走干地过这约但河．

Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

因为耶和华你们的神、在你们前面、使约但河的水干了、等着你们过来、就如耶和华你们的神、从前在我们前面、使红海干了、等着我们过来一样．

For Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were passed over;

要使地上万民都知道耶和华的手、大有能力．也要使你们永远敬畏耶和华你们的神。

that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye may fear Jehovah your God for ever.

第5章

约但河西亚摩利人的诸王、和靠海迦南人的诸王、听见耶和华在以色列人前面使约但河的水干了、等到我们过去、他们的心因以色列人的缘故就消化了、不再有胆气。

And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, that were by the sea, heard how that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

那时耶和华吩咐约书亚说、你制造火石刀、第二次给以色列人行割礼。

At that time Jehovah said unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

约书亚就制造了火石刀、在除皮山那里给以色列人行割礼。

And Joshua made him knives of lint, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

约书亚行割礼的缘故、是因为从埃及出来的众民、就是一切能打仗的男丁、出了埃及以后、都死在旷野的路上。

And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: all the people that came forth out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt.

因为出来的众民都受过割礼．惟独出埃及以后、在旷野的路上所生的众民、都没有受过割礼。

For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised.

以色列人在旷野走了四十年、等到国民、就是出埃及的兵丁、都消灭了、因为他们没有听从耶和华的话。耶和华曾向他们起誓、必不容他们看见耶和华向他们列祖起誓应许赐给我们的地、就是流奶与蜜之地。

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah: unto whom Jehovah sware that he would not let them see the land which Jehovah sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

他们的子孙、就是耶和华所兴起来接续他们的、都没有受过割礼．因为在路上没有给他们行割礼、约书亚这才给他们行了。

And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them did Joshua circumcise: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.

国民都受完了割礼、就住在营中自己的地方、等到痊愈了。

And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the nation, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.

耶和华对约书亚说、我今日将埃及的羞辱从你们身上辊去了。因此那地方名叫吉甲、直到今日。〈吉甲就是辊的意思〉

And Jehovah said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, unto this day.

以色列人在吉甲安营．正月十四日晚上、在耶利哥的平原守逾越节。

And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.

逾越节的次日、他们就吃了那地的出产．正当那日吃无酵饼、和烘的谷。

And they did eat of the produce of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, in the selfsame day.

他们吃了那地的出产、第二日吗哪就止住了、以色列人也不再有吗哪了．那一年他们却吃迦南地的出产。

And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the produce of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

约书亚靠近耶利哥的时候举目观看、不料、有一个人手里有拔出来的刀、对面站立．约书亚到他那里、问他说、你是帮助我们呢、是帮助我们敌人呢。

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

他回答说、不是的、我来是要作耶和华军队的元帅。约书亚就俯伏在地下拜、说、我主有甚么话吩咐仆人。

And he said, Nay; but [as] prince of the host of Jehovah am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

耶和华军队的元帅对约书亚说、把你脚上的鞋脱下来、因为你所站的地方是圣的。约书亚就照着行了。

And the prince of Jehovah`s host said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

第6章

耶利哥的城门因以色列人就关得严紧、无人出入。

Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

耶和华晓谕约书亚说、看哪、我已经把耶利哥、和耶利哥的王、并大能的勇士、都交在你手中。

And Jehovah said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.

你们的一切兵丁要围绕这城、一日围绕一次．六日都要这样行。

And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

七个祭司要拿七个羊角走在约柜前．到第七日你们要绕城七次、祭司也要吹角。

And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams` horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

他们吹的角声拖长、你们听见角声、众百姓要大声呼喊、城墙就必塌陷．各人都要往前直上。

And it shall be, that, when they make a long blast with the ram`s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.

嫩的儿子约书亚召了祭司来、吩咐他们说、你们抬起约柜来．要有七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华的约柜前。

And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams` horns before the ark of Jehovah.

又对百姓说、你们前去绕城．带兵器的要走在耶和华的约柜前。

And they said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Jehovah.

约书亚对百姓说完了话、七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华面前吹角、耶和华的约柜在他们后面跟随。

And it was so, that, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams` horns before Jehovah passed on, and blew the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah followed them.

带兵器的、走在吹角的祭司前面、后队随着约柜行、祭司一面走一面吹。

And the armed men went before the priests that blew the trumpets, and the rearward went after the ark, [the priests] blowing the trumpets as they went.

约书亚吩咐百姓说、你们不可呼喊、不可出声、连一句话也不可出你们的口、等到我吩咐你们呼喊的日子．那时才可以呼喊。

And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.

这样、他使耶和华的约柜绕城、把城绕了一次．众人回到营里、就在营里住宿。

So he caused the ark of Jehovah to compass the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

约书亚清早起来、祭司又抬起耶和华的约柜。

And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Jehovah.

七个祭司拿七个羊角在耶和华的约柜前、时常行走吹角．带兵器的在他们前面走．后队随着耶和华的约柜行、祭司一面走一面吹。

And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams` horns before the ark of Jehovah went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of Jehovah, [the priests] blowing the trumpets as they went.

第二日、众人把城绕了一次、就回营里去．六日都是这样行。

And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

第七日清早、黎明的时候、他们起来、照样绕城七次．惟独这日把城绕了七次。

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on the day they compassed the city seven times.

到了第七次、祭司吹角的时候、约书亚吩咐百姓说、呼喊罢．因为耶和华已经把城交给你们了。

And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for Jehovah hath given you the city.

这城和其中所有的、都要在耶和华面前毁灭．只有妓女喇合、与他家中所有的、可以存活、因为他隐藏了我们所打发的使者。

And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, to Jehovah: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

至于你们、务要谨慎、不可取那当灭的物、恐怕你们取了那当灭的物、就连累以色列的全营、使全营受咒诅。

But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when ye have devoted it, ye take of the devoted thing; so would ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.

惟有金子、银子、和铜铁的器皿、都要归耶和华为圣．必入耶和华的库中。

But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy unto Jehovah: they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.

于是百姓呼喊、祭司也吹角．百姓听见角声、便大声呼喊、城墙就塌陷、百姓便上去进城、各人往前直上、将城夺取。

So the people shouted, and [the priests] blew the trumpets; and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

又将城中所有的、不拘男女、老少、牛羊、和驴、都用刀杀尽。

And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

约书亚吩咐窥探地的两个人说、你们进那妓女的家、照着你们向他所起的誓、将那女人、和他所有的、都从那里带出来。

And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land, Go into the harlot`s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

当探子的两个少年人就进去、将喇合、与他的父母、弟兄、和他所有的、并他一切的亲眷、都带出来、安置在以色列的营外。

And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp of Israel.

众人就用火将城、和其中所有的、焚烧了．惟有金子、银子、和铜铁的器皿、都放在耶和华殿的库中。

And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.

约书亚却把妓女喇合、与他父家、并他所有的、都救活了．因为他隐藏了约书亚所打发窥探耶利哥的使者．他就住在以色列中、直到今日。

But Rahab the harlot, and her father`s household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel unto this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

当时约书亚叫众人起誓说、有兴起重修这耶利哥城的人、当在耶和华面前受咒诅．他立根基的时候、必丧长子、安门的时候、必丧幼子。

And Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: with the loss of his first-born shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

耶和华与约书亚同在．约书亚的声名传扬遍地。

So Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

第7章

以色列人在当灭的物上犯了罪．因为犹大支派中、谢拉的曾孙、撒底的孙子、迦米的儿子亚干、取了当灭的物．耶和华的怒气、就向以色列人发作。

But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted thing; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted thing: and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the children of Israel.

当下约书亚从耶利哥打发人往伯特利东边靠近伯亚文的艾城去、吩咐他们说、你们上去窥探那地．他们就上去窥探艾城。

And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.

他们回到约书亚那里、对他说、众民不必都上去．只要二三千人上去、就能攻取艾城．不必劳累众民都去、因为那里的人少。

And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; make not all the people to toil thither; for they are but few.

于是民中约有三千人上那里去、竟在艾城人面前逃跑了。

So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.

艾城的人击杀了他们三十六人．从城门前追赶他们、直到示巴琳、在下坡杀败他们．众民的心就消化如水。

And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men; and they chased them [from] before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them at the descent; and the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

约书亚便撕裂衣服．他和以色列的长老把灰撒在头上、在耶和华的约柜前、俯伏在地、直到晚上。

And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust upon their heads.

约书亚说、哀哉、主耶和华阿、你为甚么竟领这百姓过约但河、将我们交在亚摩利人的手中、使我们灭亡呢．我们不如住在约但河那边倒好。

And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!

主阿、以色列人既在仇敌面前转背逃跑、我还有甚么可说的呢．

Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel hath turned their backs before their enemies!

迦南人和这地一切的居民听见了、就必围困我们、将我们的名从地上除灭．那时你为你的大名要怎样行呢。

For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will compass us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do for thy great name?

耶和华吩咐约书亚说、起来、你为何这样俯伏在地呢．

And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore art thou thus fallen upon thy face?

以色列人犯了罪、违背了我所吩咐他们的约、取了当灭的物．又偷窃、又行诡诈、又把那当灭的放在他们的家具里。

Israel hath sinned; yea, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: yea, they have even taken of the devoted thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also; and they have even put it among their own stuff.

因此、以色列人在仇敌面前站立不住．他们在仇敌面前转背逃跑、是因成了被咒诅的．你们若不把当灭的物、从你们中间除掉、我就不再与你们同在了。

Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, because they are become accursed: I will not be with you any more, except ye destroy the devoted thing from among you.

你起来、叫百姓自洁、对他们说、你们要自洁豫备明天．因为耶和华以色列的神这样说、以色列阿、你们中间有当灭的物．你们若不除掉、在仇敌面前、必站立不住。

Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow: for thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, There is a devoted thing in the midst of thee, O Israel; thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the devoted thing from among you.

到了早晨、你们要按着支派近前来．耶和华所取的支派、要按着宗族近前来．耶和华所取的宗族、要按着家室近前来．耶和华所取的家室、要按着人丁、一个一个的近前来。

In the morning therefore ye shall be brought near by your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah taketh shall come near by families; and the family which Jehovah shall take shall come near by households; and the household which Jehovah shall take shall come near man by man.

被取的人有当灭的物在他那里、他和他所有的、必被火焚烧．因他违背了耶和华的约、又因他在以色列中、行了愚妄的事。

And it shall be, that he that is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath; because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.

于是约书亚清早起来、使以色列人按着支派近前来．取出来的、是犹大支派．

So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:

使犹大支派〈原文作宗族〉近前来、就取了谢拉的宗族．使谢拉的宗族、按着家室人丁、一个一个的近前来．取出来的、是撒底．

and he brought near the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zerahites: and he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:

使撒底的家室、按着人丁、一个一个的近前来、就取出犹大支派的人谢拉的曾孙、撒底的孙子、迦米的儿子亚干。

and he brought near his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

约书亚对亚干说、我儿、我劝你将荣耀归给耶和华以色列的神、在他面前认罪将你所作的事告诉我．不要向我隐瞒。

And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.

亚干回答约书亚说、我实在得罪了耶和华以色列的神．我所作的事、如此如此。

And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

我在所夺的财物中、看见一件美好的示拿衣服、二百舍客勒银子、一条金子、重五十舍客勒、我就贪爱这些物件、便拿去了．现今藏在我帐棚内的地里、银子在衣服底下。

when I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonish mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

约书亚就打发人跑到亚干的帐棚里．那件衣服果然藏在他帐棚内、银子在底下。

So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

他们就从帐棚里取出来、拿到约书亚和以色列众人那里、放在耶和华面前。

And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel; and they laid them down before Jehovah.

约书亚和以色列众人、把谢拉的曾孙亚干、和那银子、那件衣服、那条金子、并亚干的儿女、牛、驴、羊、帐棚、以及他所有的、都带到亚割谷去。

And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them up unto the valley of Achor.

约书亚说、你为甚么连累我们呢．今日耶和华必叫你受连累。于是以色列众人用石头打死他、将石头扔在其上．又用火焚烧他所有的。〈他所有的原文作他们〉

And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.

众人在亚干身上堆成一大堆石头、直存到今日．于是耶和华转意、不发他的烈怒。因此那地方名叫亚割谷、直到今日。〈亚割就是连累的意思〉

And they raised over him a great heap of stones, unto this day; and Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

第8章

耶和华对约书亚说、不要惧怕、也不要惊惶．你起来率领一切兵丁、上艾城去．我已经把艾城的王、和他的民、他的城、并他的地、都交在你手里。

And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land;

你怎样待耶利哥、和耶利哥的王、也当照样待艾城、和艾城的王．只是城内所夺的财物、和牲畜、你们可以取为自己的掠物．你要在城后设下伏兵。

And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: set thee an ambush for the city behind it.

于是约书亚、和一切兵丁、都起来、要上艾城去．约书亚选了三万大能的勇士、夜间打发他们前往．

So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them forth by night.

吩咐他们说、你们要在城后埋伏．不可离城太远、都要各自准备。

And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:

我与我所带领的众民、要向城前往．城里的人像初次出来攻击我们的时候、我们就在他们面前逃跑．

and I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city. And it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them;

他们必出来追赶我们、直到我们引诱他们离开城．因为他们必说、这些人像初次在我们面前逃跑．所以我们要在他们面前逃跑．

and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: so we will flee before them;

你们就从埋伏的地方起来、夺取那城．因为耶和华你们的神、必把城交在你们手里。

and ye shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city: for Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.

你们夺了城以后、就放火烧城．要照耶和华的话行．这是我吩咐你们的。

And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do: see, I have commanded you.

约书亚打发他们前往．他们就上埋伏的地方去、住在伯特利和艾城的中间．就是在艾城的西边．这夜约书亚却在民中住宿。

And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to the ambushment, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

约书亚清早起来、点齐百姓、他和以色列的长老在百姓前面上艾城去。

And Joshua arose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

众民就是他所带领的兵丁都上去、向前直往、来到城前、在艾城北边安营．在约书亚和艾城中间有一山谷。

And all the people, [even] the [men of] war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between him and Ai.

他挑了约有五千人、使他们埋伏在伯特利和艾城的中间、就是在艾城的西边。

And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city.

于是安置了百姓、就是城北的全军、和城西的伏兵．这夜约书亚进入山谷之中。

So they set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers-in-wait that were on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

艾城的王看见这景况、就和全城的人、清早急忙起来、按所定的时候、出到亚拉巴前、要与以色列人交战．王却不知道在城后有伏兵。

And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

约书亚和以色列众人在他们面前装败、往那通旷野的路逃跑。

And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

城内的众民、都被招聚、追赶他们．艾城人追赶的时候、就被引诱离开城。

And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.

艾城、和伯特利城、没有一人不出来追赶以色列人的、撇了敞开的城门、去追赶以色列人。

And there was not a man left in Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.

耶和华吩咐约书亚说、你向艾城伸出手里的短枪、因为我要将城交在你手里．约书亚就向城伸出手里的短枪。

And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

他一伸手、伏兵就从埋伏的地方急忙起来、夺了城、跑进城去、放火焚烧。

And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and set the city on fire.

艾城的人回头一看、不料、城中烟气冲天、他们就无力向左向右逃跑．那往旷野逃跑的百姓、便转身攻击追赶他们的人。

And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.

约书亚和以色列众人见伏兵已经夺了城、城中烟气飞腾、就转身回去、击杀艾城的人。

And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.

伏兵也出城迎击艾城人．艾城人就困在以色列人中间、前后都是以色列人．于是以色列人击杀他们、没有留下一个、也没有一个逃脱的．

And the others came forth out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

生擒了艾城的王、将他解到约书亚那里。

And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

以色列人在田间和旷野杀尽所追赶一切艾城的居民．艾城人倒在刀下、直到灭尽、以色列众人就回到艾城、用刀杀了城中的人。

And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

当日杀毙的人、连男带女、共有一万二千、就是艾城所有的人。

And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.

约书亚没有收回手里所伸出来的短枪、直到把艾城的一切居民、尽行杀灭。

For Joshua drew not back his hand, wherewith he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

惟独城中的牲畜、和财物、以色列人都取为自己的掠物、是照耶和华所吩咐约书亚的话。

Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey unto themselves, according unto the word of Jehovah which he commanded Joshua.

约书亚将艾城焚烧、使城永为高堆、荒场、直到今日。

So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap for ever, even a desolation, unto this day.

又将艾城王挂在树上、直到晚上。日落的时候、约书亚吩咐人把尸首从树上取下来、丢在城门口、在尸首上堆成一大堆石头、直存到今日。

And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the eventide: and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, unto this day.

那时约书亚在以巴路山上、为耶和华以色列的神、筑一座坛．

Then Joshua built an altar unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,

是用没有动过铁器的整石头筑的、照着耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐以色列人的话、正如摩西律法书上所写的．众人在这坛上给耶和华奉献燔祭、和平安祭。

as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man had lifted up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.

约书亚在那里、当着以色列人面前、将摩西所写的律法抄写在石头上。

And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the children of Israel.

以色列众人、无论是本地人、是寄居的、和长老、官长、并审判官、都站在约柜两旁、在抬耶和华约柜的祭司利未人面前、一半对着基利心山、一半对着以巴路山、为以色列民祝福、正如耶和华仆人摩西先前所吩咐的。

And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the sojourner as the homeborn; half of them in front of mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

随后约书亚将律法上祝福咒诅的话、照着律法书上一切所写的、都宣读了一遍。

And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

摩西所吩咐的一切话、约书亚在以色列全会众、和妇女、孩子、并他们中间寄居的外人面前、没有一句不宣读的。

There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners that were among them.

第9章

约但河西住山地、高原、并对着利巴嫩山沿大海一带的诸王、就是赫人、亚摩利人、迦南人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人的诸王、听见这事、

And it came to pass, when all the kings that were beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;

就都聚集、同心合意的、要与约书亚和以色列人争战。

that they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.

基遍的居民听见约书亚向耶利哥和艾城所行的事、

But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,

就设诡计。假充使者、拿旧口袋、和破裂缝补的旧皮酒袋、驮在驴上、

they also did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine-skins, old and rent and bound up,

将补过的旧鞋穿在脚上、把旧衣服穿在身上、他们所带的饼都是干的、长了霉了。

and old and patched shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and was become mouldy.

他们到吉甲营中见约书亚、对他和以色列人说、我们是从远方来的．现在求你与我们立约。

And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We are come from a far country: now therefore make ye a covenant with us.

以色列人对这些希未人说、只怕你们是住在我们中间的．若是这样、怎能和你们立约呢。

And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a covenant with you?

他们对约书亚说、我们是你的仆人。约书亚问他们说、你们是甚么人、是从那里来的．

And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?

他们回答说、仆人从极远之地而来、是因听见耶和华你神的名声、和他在埃及所行的一切事、

And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of Jehovah thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,

并他向约但河东的两个亚摩利王、就是希实本王西宏、和在亚斯他录的巴珊王噩、一切所行的事．

and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.

我们的长老和我们那地的一切居民对我们说、你们手里要带着路上用的食物、去迎接以色列人、对他们说、我们是你们的仆人．现在求你们与我们立约。

And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: and now make ye a covenant with us.

我们出来要往你们这里来的日子、从家里带出来的这饼还是热的．看哪、现在都干了。长了霉了。

This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become mouldy:

这皮酒袋、我们盛酒的时候还是新的．看哪、现在已经破裂．我们这衣服和鞋、因为道路甚远、也都穿旧了。

and these wine-skins, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they are rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.

以色列人受了他们些食物、并没有求问耶和华。

And the men took of their provision, and asked not counsel at the mouth of Jehovah.

于是约书亚与他们讲和、与他们立约、容他们活着．会众的首领、也向他们起誓。

And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.

以色列人与他们立约之后、过了三天、才听见他们是近邻、住在以色列人中间的。

And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt among them.

以色列人起行、第三天到了他们的城邑、就是基遍、基非拉、比录、基列耶琳。

And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.

因为会众的首领、已经指着耶和华以色列的神向他们起誓、所以以色列人不击杀他们．全会众就向首领发怨言。

And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by Jehovah, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.

众首领对全会众说、我们已经指着耶和华以色列的神向他们起誓．现在我们不能害他们。

But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by Jehovah, the God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.

我们要如此待他们、容他们活着．免得有忿怒因我们所起的誓临到我们身上。

This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.

首领又对会众说、要容他们活着．于是他们为全会众作了劈柴挑水的人、正如首领对他们所说的话。

And the princes said unto them, Let them live: so they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken unto them.

约书亚召了他们来、对他们说、为甚么欺哄我们说、我们离你们甚远呢．其实你们是住在我们中间。

And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?

现在你们是被咒诅的．你们中间的人、必断不了作奴仆、为我神的殿、作劈柴挑水的人。

Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall never fail to be of you bondmen, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.

他们回答约书亚说、因为有人实在告诉你的仆人、耶和华你的神曾吩咐他的仆人摩西、把这全地赐给你们、并在你们面前灭绝这地的一切居民．所以我们为你们的缘故、甚怕丧命、就行了这事。

And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that Jehovah thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

现在我们在你手中、你以怎样待我们为善为正、就怎样作罢。

And now, behold, we are in thy hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.

于是约书亚这样待他们、救他们脱离以色列人的手、以色列人就没有杀他们。

And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

当日约书亚使他们在耶和华所要选择的地方、为会众、和耶和华的坛、作劈柴挑水的人、直到今日。

And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Jehovah, unto this day, in the place which he should choose.

第10章

耶路撒冷王亚多尼洗德听见约书亚夺了艾城、尽行毁灭．怎样待耶利哥和耶利哥的王、也照样待艾城和艾城的王．又听见基遍的居民与以色列人立了和约、住在他们中间．

Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem 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;

就甚惧怕、因为基遍是一座大城、如都城一般、比艾城更大、并且城内的人都是勇士。

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 the men thereof were mighty.

所以耶路撒冷王亚多尼洗德打发人去见希伯仑王何咸、耶末王毘兰、拉吉王雅非亚、和伊矶伦王底璧、说、

Wherefore Adoni-zedek 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,

求你们上来帮助我、我们好攻打基遍．因为他们与约书亚和以色列人立了和约。

Come up unto me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

于是五个亚摩利王、就是耶路撒冷王、希伯仑王、耶末王、拉吉王、伊矶伦王、大家聚集、率领他们的众军上去、对着基遍安营、攻打基遍。

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 against Gibeon, and made war against it.

基遍人就打发人往吉甲的营中去见约书亚、说、你不要袖手不顾你的仆人．求你速速上来拯救我们、帮助我们．因为住山地亚摩利人的诸王都聚集攻击我们。

And 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 hill-country are gathered together against us.

于是约书亚、和他一切兵丁、并大能的勇士、都从吉甲上去。

So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

耶和华对约书亚说、不要怕他们、因为我已将他们交在你手里、他们无一人能在你面前站立得住。

And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

约书亚就终夜从吉甲上去、猛然临到他们那里。

Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly; [for] he went up from Gilgal all the night.

耶和华使他们在以色列人面前溃乱．约书亚在基遍大大的杀败他们、追赶他们在伯和仑的上坡路、击杀他们直到亚西加、和玛基大。

And Jehovah discomfited them before Israel, and he slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

他们在以色列人面前逃跑、正在伯和仑下坡的时候、耶和华从天上降大冰雹在他们身上、〈冰雹原文作石头〉直降到亚西加、打死他们．被冰雹打死的、比以色列人用刀杀死的还多。

And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

当耶和华将亚摩利人交付以色列人的日子、约书亚就祷告耶和华、在以色列人眼前说、日头阿、你要停在基遍．月亮阿、你要止在亚雅仑谷。

Then spake Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah 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 Aijalon.

于是日头停留、月亮止住、直等国民向敌人报仇．这事岂不是写在雅煞珥书上么．日头在天当中停住、不急速下落、约有一日之久。

And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

在这日以前、这日以后、耶和华听人的祷告、没有像这日的．是因耶和华为以色列争战。

And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened unto the voice of a man: for Jehovah fought for Israel.

约书亚和以色列众人回到吉甲的营中。

And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

那五王逃跑、藏在玛基大洞里。

And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

有人告诉约书亚说、那五王已经找到了、都藏在玛基大洞里。

And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

约书亚说、你们把几块大石头辊到洞口、派人看守．

And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:

你们却不可耽延．要追赶你们的仇敌、击杀他们尽后边的人、不容他们进自己的城邑．因为耶和华你们的神已经把他们交在你们手里。

but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for Jehovah your God hath delivered them into your hand.

约书亚和以色列人大大杀败他们、直到将他们灭尽．其中剩下的人都进了坚固的城。

And 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, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

众百姓就安然回玛基大营中、到约书亚那里．没有一人敢向以色列人饶舌。

that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

约书亚说、打开洞口、将那五王从洞里带出来、领到我面前。

Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave.

众人就这样行、将那五王、就是耶路撒冷王、希伯仑王、耶末王、拉吉王、伊矶伦王、从洞里带出来、领到约书亚面前。

And 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, the king of Eglon.

带出那五王到约书亚面前的时候、约书亚就召了以色列众人来、对那些和他同去的军长说、你们近前来、把脚踏在这些王的颈项上。他们就近前来、把脚踏在这些王的颈项上。

And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that 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.

约书亚对他们说、你们不要惧怕、也不要惊惶、应当刚强壮胆．因为耶和华必这样待你们所要攻打的一切仇敌。

And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

随后约书亚将这五王杀死、挂在五棵树上．他们就在树上直挂到晚上。

And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.

日头要落的时候、约书亚一吩咐、人就把尸首从树上取下来、丢在他们藏过的洞里、把几块大石头放在洞口、直存到今日。

And 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 hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day.

当日约书亚夺了玛基大、用刀击杀城中的人、和王．将其中一切人口尽行杀灭、没有留下一个．他待玛基大王像从前待耶利哥王一样。

And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, 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 left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.

约书亚和以色列众人从玛基大往立拿去、攻打立拿。

And Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:

耶和华将立拿、和立拿的王、也交在以色列人手里．约书亚攻打这城、用刀击杀了城中的一切人口、没有留下一个、他待立拿王、像从前待耶利哥王一样。

and Jehovah 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 left none remaining in it; and he did unto the king thereof as he had done unto the king of Jericho.

约书亚和以色列众人从立拿往拉吉去、对着拉吉安营、攻打这城。

And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:

耶和华将拉吉交在以色列人的手里．第二天约书亚就夺了拉吉、用刀击杀了城中的一切人口．是照他向立拿一切所行的。

and Jehovah delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel; and he 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.

那时基色王荷兰上来帮助拉吉、约书亚就把他和他的民都击杀了、没有留下一个。

Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

约书亚和以色列众人从拉吉往伊矶伦去、对着伊矶伦安营、攻打这城．

And Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, unto Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it;

当日就夺了城、用刀击杀了城中的人．那日约书亚将城中的一切人口、尽行杀灭．是照他向拉吉一切所行的。

and 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.

约书亚和以色列众人从伊矶伦上希伯仑去、攻打这城．

And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:

就夺了希伯仑和属希伯仑的诸城邑、用刀将城中的人、与王、并那些城邑中的人口、都击杀了、没有留下一个．是照他向伊矶伦所行的、把城中的一切人口、尽行杀灭。

and 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 he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein.

约书亚和以色列众人回到底璧、攻打这城．

And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it:

就夺了底璧、和属底璧的城邑、又擒获底璧的王、用刀将这些城中的人口尽行杀灭、没有留下一个．他待底璧和底璧王像从前待希伯仑、和立拿与立拿王一样。

and 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 the king thereof.

这样约书亚击杀全地的人、就是山地、南地、高原、山坡的人、和那些地的诸王、没有留下一个．将凡有气息的尽行杀灭、正如耶和华以色列的神所吩咐的。

So Joshua smote all the land, the hill-country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded.

约书亚从加低斯巴尼亚攻击到迦萨、又攻击歌珊全地、直到基遍。

And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.

约书亚一时杀败了这些王、并夺了他们的地．因为耶和华以色列的神为以色列争战。

And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because Jehovah, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

于是约书亚和以色列众人回到吉甲的营中。

And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

第11章

夏琐王耶宾听见这事、就打发人去见玛顿王约巴、伸仑王、押煞王、

And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard thereof, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

与北方、山地、基尼烈南边的亚拉巴高原、并西边多珥山冈的诸王．

and to the kings that were on the north, in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,

又去见东方和西方的迦南人、与山地的亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、耶布斯人、并黑门山根米斯巴地的希未人。

to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

这些王和他们的众军都出来、人数多如海边的沙．并有许多马匹车辆。

And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

这诸王会合、来到米伦水边、一同安营、要与以色列人争战。

And all these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

耶和华对约书亚说、你不要因他们惧怕．明日这时、我必将他们交付以色列人全然杀了．你要砍断他们马的蹄筋、用火焚烧他们的车辆。

And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hock their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

于是约书亚率领一切兵丁、在米伦水边突然向前、攻打他们。

So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them.

耶和华将他们交在以色列人手里、以色列人就击杀他们、追赶他们到西顿大城、到米斯利弗玛音、直到东边米斯巴的平原、将他们击杀、没有留下一个。

And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Sidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

约书亚就照耶和华所吩咐他的去行、砍断他们马的蹄筋、用火焚烧他们的车辆。

And Joshua did unto them as Jehovah bade him: he hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

当时约书亚转回夺了夏琐、用刀击杀夏琐王．素来夏琐在这诸国中是为首的。

And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.

以色列人用刀击杀城中的人口、将他们尽行杀灭．凡有气息的没有留下一个．约书亚又用火焚烧夏琐。

And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

约书亚夺了这些王的一切城邑、擒获其中的诸王、用刀击杀他们、将他们尽行杀灭、正如耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐的。

And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded.

至于造在山岗上的城、除了夏琐以外、以色列人都没有焚烧．约书亚只将夏琐焚烧了。

But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

那些城邑所有的财物、和牲畜、以色列人都取为自己的掠物．惟有一切人口都用刀击杀、直到杀尽．凡有气息的没有留下一个。

And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any that breathed.

耶和华怎样吩咐他仆人摩西、摩西就照样吩咐约书亚、约书亚也照样行．凡耶和华所吩咐摩西的、约书亚没有一件懈怠不行的。

As Jehovah commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Jehovah commanded Moses.

约书亚夺了那全地、就是山地、一带南地、歌珊全地、高原、亚拉巴、以色列的山地、和山下的高原。

So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill-country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;

从上西珥的哈拉山、直到黑门山下利巴嫩平原的巴力迦得．并且擒获那些地的诸王、将他们杀死。

from mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and put them to death.

约书亚和这诸王争战了许多年日。

Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

除了基遍的希未人之外、没有一城与以色列人讲和的．都是以色列人争战夺来的。

There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: they took all in battle.

因为耶和华的意思、是要使他们心里刚硬、来与以色列人争战、好叫他们尽被杀灭、不蒙怜悯、正如耶和华所吩咐摩西的。

For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

当时约书亚来到、将住山地、希伯仑、底璧、亚拿伯、犹大山地、以色列山地所有的亚衲族人剪除了．约书亚将他们和他们的城邑尽都毁灭。

And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

在以色列人的地没有留下一个亚衲族人．只在迦萨、迦特、和亚实突有留下的。

There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.

这样、约书亚照着耶和华所吩咐摩西的一切话、夺了那全地、就按着以色列支派的宗族、将地分给他们为业。于是国中太平没有争战了。

So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah spake unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.

第12章

以色列人在约但河外向日出之地击杀二王、得他们的地、就是从亚嫩谷直到黑门山、并东边的全亚拉巴之地。

Now these are the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising, from the valley of the Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the Arabah eastward:

这二王、有住希实本亚摩利人的王西宏．他所管之地、是从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥和谷中的城、并基列一半、直到亚扪人的境界、雅博河、

Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and [the city that is in] the middle of the valley, and half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon;

与约但河东边的亚拉巴、直到基尼烈海、又到亚拉巴的海、就是盐海、通伯耶西末的路、以及南方、直到毘斯迦的山根．

and the Arabah unto the sea of Chinneroth, eastward, and unto the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, eastward, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah:

又有巴珊王噩．他是利乏音人所剩下的、住在亚斯他录和以得来。

and the border of Og king of Bashan, of the remnant of the Rephaim, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,

他所管之地、是黑门山撒迦、巴珊全地、直到基述人和玛迦人的境界、并基列一半、直到希实本王西宏的境界。

and ruled in mount Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

这二王是耶和华仆人摩西和以色列人所击杀的．耶和华仆人摩西将他们的地赐给流便人、迦得人、和玛拿西半支派的人为业。

Moses the servant of Jehovah and the children of Israel smote them: and Moses the servant of Jehovah gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

约书亚和以色列人在约但河西击杀了诸王．他们的地、是从利巴嫩平原的巴力迦得、直到上西珥的哈拉山．约书亚就将那地按着以色列支派的宗族分给他们为业．

And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote beyond the Jordan westward, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even unto mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; and Joshua gave it unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;

就是赫人、亚摩利人、迦南人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人的山地、高原亚拉巴、山坡、旷野、和南地。

in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the Arabah, and in the slopes, and in the wilderness, and in the South; the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

他们的王、一个是耶利哥王、一个是靠近伯特利的艾城王、

the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;

一个是耶路撒冷王、一个是希伯仑王、

the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;

一个是耶末王、一个是拉吉王、

the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;

一个是伊矶伦王、一个是基色王、

the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;

一个是底璧王、一个是基德王、

the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;

一个是何珥玛王、一个是亚拉得王、

the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;

一个是立拿王、一个是亚杜兰王、

the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;

一个是玛基大王、一个是伯特利王、

the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;

一个是他普亚王、一个是希弗王、

一个是亚弗王、一个是拉沙仑王、

the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lassharon, one;

一个是玛顿王、一个是夏琐王、

the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;

一个是伸仑米仑王、一个是押煞王、

the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;

一个是他纳王、一个是米吉多王、

the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;

一个是基低斯王、一个是靠近迦密的约念王、

the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;

一个是多珥山岗的多珥王、一个是吉甲的戈印王、

the king of Dor in the height of Dor, one; the king of Goiim in Gilgal, one;

一个是得撒王．共计三十一个王。

the king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.

第13章

约书亚年纪老迈、耶和华对他说、你年纪老迈了、还有许多未得之地、

Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years; and Jehovah said unto him, Thou art old and well stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

就是非利士人的全境、和基述人的全地．

This is the land that yet remaineth: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;

从埃及前的西曷河往北、直到以革伦的境界、就算属迦南人之地．有非利士人五个首领所管的迦萨人、亚实突人、亚实基伦人、迦特人、以革伦人之地．并有南方亚卫人之地．

from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the border of Ekron northward, [which] is reckoned to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,

又有迦南人的全地．并属西顿人的米亚拉、到亚弗、直到亚摩利人的境界．

on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongeth to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;

还有迦巴勒人之地、并向日出的全利巴嫩、就是从黑门山根的巴力迦得、直到哈马口．

and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entrance of Hamath;

山地的一切居民、从利巴嫩直到米斯利弗玛音、就是所有的西顿人、我必在以色列人面前赶出他们去．你只管照我所吩咐的、将这地拈阄分给以色列人为业．

all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only allot thou it unto Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

现在你要把这地分给九个支派、和玛拿西半个支派为业。

Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

玛拿西那半支派、和流便迦得二支派、已经受了产业、就是耶和华的仆人摩西在约但河东所赐给他们的、

With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them:

是从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥和谷中的城、并米底巴的全平原、直到底本、

from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;

和在希实本作王亚摩利王西宏的诸城、直到亚扪人的境界。

and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;

又有基列地、基述人、玛迦人的地界．并黑门全山．巴珊全地、直到撒迦、

and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salecah;

又有巴珊王噩的全国．他在亚斯他录和以得来作王、利乏音人所存留的只剩下他．这些地的人、都是摩西所击杀所赶逐的。

all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for these did Moses smite, and drove them out.

以色列人却没有赶逐基述人、玛迦人、这些人仍住在以色列中、直到今日。

Nevertheless the children of Israel drove not out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel unto this day.

只是利未支派、摩西〈原文作他〉没有把产业分给他们．他们的产业、乃是献与耶和华以色列神的火祭．正如耶和华所应许他们的。

Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings of Jehovah, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spake unto him.

摩西按着流便支派的宗族、分给他们产业．

And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.

他们的境界、是亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥、和谷中的城、靠近米底巴的全平原．

And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;

希实本并属希实本平原的各城、底本、巴末巴力、伯巴力勉、

Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,

雅杂、基底莫、米法押、

and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

基列亭、西比玛、谷中山的细列哈沙辖、

and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of the valley,

伯毘珥、毘斯迦山坡、伯耶西末．

and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,

平原的各城、并亚摩利王西宏的全国、这西宏曾在希实本作王、摩西把他和米甸的族长、以未、利金、苏珥、户珥、利巴、击杀了．这都是住那地属西宏为首领的。

and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, that dwelt in the land.

那时以色列人在所杀的人中、也用刀杀了比珥的儿子术士巴兰。

Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among the rest of their slain.

流便人的境界、就是约但河、与靠近约但河的地．以上是流便人按着宗族所得为业的诸城、并属城的村庄。

And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and the border [thereof]. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

摩西按着迦得支派的宗族、分给他们产业．

And Moses gave unto the tribe of Gad, unto the children of Gad, according to their families.

他们的境界、是雅谢和基列的各城、并亚扪人的一半地、直到拉巴前的亚罗珥。

And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;

从希实本、到拉抹米斯巴、和比多宁、又从玛哈念、到底璧的境界．

and from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;

并谷中的伯亚兰、伯宁拉、疏割、撒分、就是希实本王西宏国中的馀地．以及约但河与靠近约但河的地、直到基尼烈海的极边、都在约但河东．

and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and the border [thereof], unto the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.

以上是迦得人按着宗族所得为业的诸城．并属城的村庄。

This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

摩西把产业分给玛拿西半支派、是按着玛拿西半支派的宗族所分的．

And Moses gave [inheritance] unto the half-tribe of Manasseh: and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.

他们的境界、是从玛哈念起、包括巴珊全地、就是巴珊王噩的全国、并在巴珊、睚珥的一切城邑、共六十个。

And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities:

基列的一半、并亚斯他录、以得来、就是属巴珊王噩国的二城、是按着宗族给玛拿西的儿子玛吉的一半子孙。

and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families.

以上是摩西在约但河东对着耶利哥的摩押平原、所分给他们的产业。

These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.

只是利未支派、摩西没有把产业分给他们．耶和华以色列的神是他们的产业．正如耶和华所应许他们的。

But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Jehovah, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spake unto them.

第14章

以色列人在迦南地所得的产业、就是祭司以利亚撒、和嫩的儿子约书亚、并以色列各支派的族长所分给他们的、都记在下面．

And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers` [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto them,

是照耶和华藉摩西所吩咐的、把产业拈阄分给九个半支派。

by the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

原来摩西在约但河东、已经把产业分给那两个半支派、只是在他们中间没有把产业分给利未人．

For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

因为约瑟的子孙、是两个支派、就是玛拿西、和以法莲、所以没有把地分给利未人、但给他们城邑居住、并城邑的郊野、可以牧养他们的牲畜、安置他们的财物。

For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for their cattle and for their substance.

耶和华怎样吩咐摩西、以色列人就照样行、把地分了。

As Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.

那时犹大人来到吉甲见约书亚、有基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒、对约书亚说、耶和华在加低斯巴尼亚、指着我与你对神人摩西所说的话、你都知道了．

Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that Jehovah spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea.

耶和华的仆人摩西、从加低斯巴尼亚打发我窥探这地、那时我正四十岁．我按着心意回报他．

Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

然而同我上去的众弟兄使百姓的心消化．但我专心跟从耶和华我的神。

Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.

当日摩西起誓说、你脚所踏之地、定要归你和你的子孙、永远为业．因为你专心跟从耶和华我的神。

And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God.

自从耶和华对摩西说这话的时候、耶和华照他所应许的、使我存活这四十五年．其间以色列人在旷野行走．看哪、现今我八十五岁了、

And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as he spake, these forty and five years, from the time that Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

我还是强壮、像摩西打发我去的那天一样．无论是争战、是出入、我的力量那时如何、现在还是如何．

As yet I am as strong this day as I as in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in.

求你将耶和华那日应许我的这山地给我．那里有亚衲族人、并宽大坚固的城、你也曾听见了．或者耶和华照他所应许的与我同在、我就把他们赶出去。

Now therefore give me this hill-country, whereof Jehovah spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified: it may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Jehovah spake.

于是约书亚为耶孚尼的儿子迦勒祝福、将希伯仑给他为业。

And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

所以希伯仑作了基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒的产业、直到今日．因为他专心跟从耶和华以色列的神。

Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day; because that he wholly followed Jehovah, the God of Israel.

希伯仑从前名叫基列亚巴．亚巴是亚衲族中最尊大的人．于是国中太平、没有争战了。

Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba; [which Arba was] the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.

第15章

犹大支派按着宗族拈阄所得之地、是在尽南边、到以东的交界、向南直到寻的旷野．

And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was unto the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.

他们的南界、是从盐海的尽边、就是从朝南的海汊起、

And their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looketh southward;

通到亚克拉滨坡的南边、接连到寻、上到加低斯巴尼亚的南边、又过希斯仑、上到亚达珥、绕到甲加、

and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed along by Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka;

接连到押们、通到埃及小河、直通到海为止．这就是他们的南界。

and it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the brook of Egypt; and the goings out of the border were at the sea: this shall be your south border.

东界、是从盐海南边到约但河口。北界、是从约但河口的海汊起、

And the east border was the Salt Sea, even unto the end of the Jordan. And the border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan;

上到伯曷拉、过伯亚拉巴的北边、上到流便之子波罕的磐石．

and the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;

从亚割谷往北、上到底璧、直向河南亚都冥坡对面的吉甲．又接连到隐示麦泉、直通到隐罗结、

and the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river; and the border passed along to the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel;

上到欣嫩子谷、贴近耶布斯的南界．（耶布斯就是耶路撒冷）又上到欣嫩谷西边的山顶、就是在利乏音谷极北的边界．

and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the side of the Jebusite southward (the same is Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost part of the vale of Rephaim northward;

又从山顶延到尼弗多亚的水源、通到以弗仑山的城邑、又延到巴拉、（巴拉就是基列耶琳）

and the border extended from the top of the mountain unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (the same is Kiriath-jearim);

又从巴拉往西绕到西珥山、接连到耶琳山的北边．（耶琳就是基撒仑）又下到伯示麦过亭纳、

and the border turned about from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim on the north (the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah;

通到以革伦北边、延到施基仑、接连到巴拉山、又通到雅比聂、直通到海为止。

and the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.

西界就是大海、和靠近大海之地、这是犹大人按着宗族所得之地四围的交界。

And the west border was to the great sea, and the border [thereof]. This is the border of the children of Judah round about according to their families.

约书亚照耶和华所吩咐的、将犹大人中的一段地、就是基列亚巴、分给耶孚尼的儿子迦勒．亚巴是亚衲族的始祖．（基列亚巴就是希伯仑）

And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua, even Kiriath-arba, [which Arba was] the father of Anak (the same is Hebron).

迦勒就从那里赶出亚衲族的三个族长、就是示筛、亚希幔、挞买．

And Caleb drove out thence the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

又从那里上去、攻击底璧的居民、这底璧从前名叫基列西弗。

And he went up thence against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.

迦勒说、谁能攻打基列西弗将城夺取、我就把我女儿押撒给他为妻。

And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

迦勒兄弟基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂、夺取了那城、迦勒就把女儿押撒给他为妻。

And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

押撒过门的时候、劝丈夫向他父亲求一块田、押撒一下驴、迦勒问他说、你要甚么．

And it came to pass, when she came [unto him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said, What wouldest thou?

他说、求你赐福给我、你既将我安置在南地、求你也给我水泉．他父亲就把上泉下泉赐给他。

And she said, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.

以下是犹大支派按着宗族所得的产业。

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.

犹大支派尽南边的城邑、与以东交界相近的、就是甲薛、以得、雅姑珥、

第16章

约瑟的子孙拈阄所得之地、是从靠近耶利哥的约但河起、以耶利哥东边的水为界．从耶利哥上去、通过山地的旷野、到伯特利．

And the lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;

又从伯特利到路斯、接连到亚基人的境界、至亚他绿、

and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth;

又往西下到押利提人的境界、到下伯和仑的境界、直到基色、通到海为止．

and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer; and the goings out thereof were at the sea.

约瑟的儿子玛拿西、以法莲、就得了他们的地业。

And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

以法莲子孙的境界、按着宗族所得的、记在下面．他们地业的东界、是亚他绿亚达、到上伯和仑．

And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was [thus]: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;

往西通到北边的密米他、又向东绕到他纳示罗、又接连到雅挪哈的东边、

and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah;

从雅挪哈下到亚他绿、又到拿拉、达到耶利哥、通到约但河为止．

and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.

从他普亚往西、到加拿河、直通到海为止．这就是以法莲支派按着宗族所得的地业。

From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;

另外在玛拿西人地业中、得了些城邑、和属城的村庄．这都是分给以法莲子孙的．

together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

他们没有赶出住基色的迦南人、迦南人、却住在以法莲人中间、成为作苦工的仆人、直到今日。

And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and are become servants to do taskwork.

第17章

玛拿西是约瑟的长子．他的支派拈阄所得之地、记在下面、至于玛拿西的长子基列之父〈父或作主〉玛吉、因为是勇士、就得了基列和巴珊．

And [this] was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph. As for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

玛拿西其馀的子孙、按着宗族拈阄分地、就是亚比以谢子孙、希勒子孙、亚斯列子孙、示剑子孙、希弗子孙、示米大子孙．这些按着宗族、都是约瑟儿子玛拿西子孙的男丁。

So [the lot] was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.

玛拿西的玄孙、玛吉的曾孙、基列的孙子、希弗的儿子西罗非哈、没有儿子、只有女儿、他的女儿名叫玛拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒、

But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

他们来到祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚并众首领面前、说、耶和华曾吩咐摩西在我们弟兄中分给我们产业。于是约书亚照耶和华所吩咐的、在他们伯叔中、把产业分给他们。

And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandment of Jehovah he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

除了约但河东的基列、和巴珊地之外、还有十分地归玛拿西．

And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;

因为玛拿西的孙女们、在玛拿西的孙子中、得了产业．基列地是属玛拿西其馀的子孙。

because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons of Manasseh.

玛拿西的境界、从亚设起、到示剑前的密米他、往北到隐他普亚居民之地、

And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

他普亚地归玛拿西．只是玛拿西境界上的他普亚城、归以法莲子孙。

The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.

其界下到加拿河的南边、在玛拿西城邑中的这些城邑、都归以法莲．玛拿西的地界、是在河北直通到海为止。

And the border went down unto the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out thereof were at the sea:

南归以法莲、北归玛拿西、以海为界．北边到亚设、东边到以萨迦．

southward it was Ephraim`s, and northward it was Manasseh`s, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.

玛拿西在以萨迦、和亚设境内、有伯善和属伯善的镇市、以伯莲和属以伯莲的镇市．多珥的居民和属多珥的镇市．又有三处山冈、就是隐多珥和属隐多珥的镇市．他纳的居民、和属他纳的镇市．米吉多的居民和属米吉多的镇市．

And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even the three heights.

只是玛拿西子孙、不能赶出这些城的居民、迦南人偏要住在那地．

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

及至以色列人强盛了、就使迦南人作苦工、没有把他们全然赶出。

And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.

约瑟的子孙对约书亚说、耶和华到如今既然赐福与我们、我们也族大人多、你为甚么但将一阄一段之地、分给我们为业呢。

And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto Jehovah hath blessed me?

约书亚说、你们如果族大人多、嫌以法莲山地窄小、就可以上比利洗人、利乏音人之地、在树林中砍伐树木。

And Joshua said unto them, If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.

约瑟的子孙说、那山地容不下我们、并且住平原的迦南人、就是住伯善和属伯善的镇市、并住耶斯列平原的人、都有铁车。

And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.

约书亚对约瑟家、就是以法莲和玛拿西人、说、你是族大人多、并且强盛、不可仅有一阄之地．

And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only:

山地也要归你、虽是树林你也可以砍伐、靠近之地、必归你．迦南人虽有铁车、虽是强盛、你也能把他们赶出去。

but the hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.

第18章

以色列的全会众都聚集在示罗、把会幕设立在那里、那地已经被他们制伏了。

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there: and the land was subdued before them.

以色列人中其馀的七个支派、还没有分给他们地业。

And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet divided their inheritance.

约书亚对以色列人说、耶和华你们列祖的神所赐给你们的地、你们耽延不去得、要到几时呢．

And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, hath given you?

你们每支派当选举三个人、我要打发他们去、他们就要起身走遍那地、按着各支派应得的地业写明．〈或作画图〉就回到我这里来。

Appoint for you three men of each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me.

他们要将地分作七分．犹大仍在南方、住在他的境内．约瑟家仍在北方、住在他的境内．

And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.

你们要将地分作七分、写明了拿到我这里来．我要在耶和华我们神面前、为你们拈阄。

And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring [the description] hither to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our God.

利未人在你们中间没有分、因为供耶和华祭司的职任就是他们的产业。迦得支派、流便支派、和玛拿西半支派、已经在约但河东得了地业、就是耶和华仆人摩西所给他们的。

For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance: and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.

画地势的人起身去的时候、约书亚嘱咐他们说、你们去走遍那地、画明地势、就回到我这里来。我要在示罗这里耶和华面前、为你们拈阄。

And the men arose, and went: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh.

他们就去了、走遍那地、按着城邑分作七分、写在册子上、回到示罗营中见约书亚。

And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book; and they came to Joshua unto the camp at Shiloh.

约书亚就在示罗耶和华面前、为他们拈阄．约书亚在那里按着以色列人的支派、将地分给他们。

And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.

便雅悯支派、按着宗族拈阄所得之地、是在犹大、约瑟子孙中间．

And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

他们的北界、是从约但河起、往上贴近耶利哥的北边、又往西通过山地、直到伯亚文的旷野。

And their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

从那里往南接连到路斯、贴近路斯、（路斯就是伯特利）又下到亚他绿亚达、靠近下伯和仑南边的山．

And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Beth-el), southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether.

从那里往西、又转向南、从伯和仑南对面的山、直达到犹大人的城基列巴力、（基列巴力就是基列耶琳）这是西界。

And the border extended [thence], and turned about on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.

南界、是从基列耶琳的尽边起、往西达到尼弗多亚的水源．

And the south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim; and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;

又下到欣嫩子谷对面山的尽边、就是利乏音谷北边的山．又下到欣嫩谷、贴近耶布斯的南边、又下到隐罗结．

and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel;

又往北通到隐示麦、达到亚都冥坡对面的基利绿、又下到流便之子波罕的磐石．

and it extended northward, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;

又接连到亚拉巴对面、往北下到亚拉巴．

and it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah;

又接连到伯曷拉的北边、直通到盐海的北汊、就是约但河的南头、这是南界。

and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south border.

东界是约但河．这是便雅悯人按着宗族照他们四围的交界、所得的地业。

And the Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders thereof round about, according to their families.

便雅悯支派按着宗族所得的城邑、就是耶利哥、伯曷拉、伊麦基悉、

Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz,

伯亚拉巴、洗玛脸、伯特利、

and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,

and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

基法阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴、共十二座城、还有属城的村庄．

and Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages:

又有基遍、拉玛、比录、

Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,

米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、

and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,

and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯、（耶布斯就是耶路撒冷）基比亚、基列、共十四座城、还有属城的村庄．这是便雅悯人按着宗族所得的地业。

and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath, [and] Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

第19章

为西缅支派的人、按着宗族、拈出第二阄．他们所得的地业、是在犹大人地业中间．

And the second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah.

他们所得为业之地、就是别是巴、（或名示巴）摩拉大、

And they had for their inheritance Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,

Ain, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages:

并有这些城邑四围一切的村庄、直到巴拉比珥就是南地的拉玛、这是西缅支派按着宗族所得的地业。

and all the villages that were round about these cities to Baalath-beer, Ramah of the South. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.

西缅人的地业、是从犹大人地业中得来的、因为犹大人的分过多、所以西缅人在他们的地业中、得了地业。

Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

为西布伦人、按着宗族、拈出第三阄．他们地业的境界、是到撒立．

And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families; and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid;

往西上到玛拉拉、达到大巴设、又达到约念前的河．

and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth; and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam;

And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,

亚拉米勒、亚末、米沙勒．往西达到迦密、又到希曷立纳、

and Allammelech, and Amad, and Mishal; and it reached to Carmel westward, and to Shihor-libnath;

转向日出之地、到伯大衮、达到细步纶、往北到伊弗他伊勒谷、到伯以墨、和尼业、也通到迦步勒的左边．

and it turned toward the sunrising to Beth-dagon, and reached to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtah-el northward to Beth-emek and Neiel; and it went out to Cabul on the left hand,

又到义伯仑、利合、哈们、加拿、直到西顿大城．

And their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakkum; and the goings out thereof were at the Jordan;

又转向西到亚斯纳他泊、从那里通到户割、南边到西布伦、西边到亚设、又向日出之地、达到约但河那里的犹大．

and the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, and went out from thence to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrising.

坚固的城、就是西丁、侧耳、哈末、拉甲、基尼烈、

And the fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,

美耶昆、拉昆、并约帕对面的地界。

and Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against Joppa.

但人的地界、越过原得的地界．因为但人上去攻取利善、用刀击杀城中的人、得了那城、住在其中、以他们先祖但的名、将利善改名为但．

And the border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

这些城、并属城的村庄、就是但支派按着宗族所得的地业。

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

以色列人按着境界分完了地业、就在他们中间将地给嫩的儿子约书亚为业．

So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by the borders thereof; and the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them:

是照耶和华的吩咐、将约书亚所求的城、就是以法莲山地的亭拿西拉城、给了他．他就修那城、住在其中。

according to the commandment of Jehovah they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnath-serah in the hill-country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and dwelt therein.

这就是祭司以利亚撒、和嫩的儿子约书亚、并以色列各支派的族长、在示罗会幕门口、耶和华面前、拈阄所分的地业．这样、他们把地分完了。

These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers` [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.

第20章

耶和华晓谕约书亚说、

And Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying,

你吩咐以色列人说、你们要照着我藉摩西所晓谕你们的、为自己设立逃城．

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign you the cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by Moses,

使那无心而误杀人的、可以逃到那里．这些城可以作你们逃避报血仇人的地方。

that the manslayer that killeth any person unwittingly [and] unawares may flee thither: and they shall be unto you for a refuge from the avenger of blood.

那杀人的要逃到这些城中的一座城、站在城门口、将他的事情说给城内的长老们听．他们就把他收进城里、给他地方、使他住在他们中间。

And he shall flee unto one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

若是报血仇的追了他来、长老不可将他交在报血仇的手里．因为他是素无仇恨、无心杀了人的．

And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he smote his neighbor unawares, and hated him not beforetime.

他要住在那城里、站在会众面前听审判．等到那时的大祭司死了、杀人的才可以回到本城本家、就是他所逃出来的那城。

And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the manslayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.

于是以色列人在拿弗他利山地、分定加利利的基低斯、在以法莲山地、分定示剑、在犹大山地、分定基列亚巴（基列亚巴就是希伯仑）

And they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah.

又在约但河外耶利哥东、从流便支派中、在旷野的平原、设立比悉．从迦得支派中、设立基列的拉末．从玛拿西支派中、设立巴珊的哥兰．

And beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.

这都是为以色列众人、和在他们中间寄居的外人所分定的地邑、使误杀人的都可以逃到那里、不死在报血仇人的手中、等他站在会众面前听审判。

These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person unwittingly might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.

第21章

那时利未人的众族长、来到祭司以利亚撒、和嫩的儿子约书亚、并以色列各支派的族长面前．

Then came near the heads of fathers` [houses] of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of fathers` [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel;

在迦南地的示罗对他们说、从前耶和华借着摩西吩咐给我们城邑居住、并城邑的郊野、可以牧养我们的牲畜。

and they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.

于是以色列人照耶和华所吩咐的、从自己的地业中、将以下所记的城邑、和城邑的郊野、给了利未人。

And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of Jehovah, these cities with their suburbs.

又从迦得支派的地业中、将基列的拉末、就是误杀人的逃城、和属城的郊野、给了他们．又给他们玛哈念和属城的郊野．

And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Mahanaim with its suburbs,

希实本和属城的郊野．雅谢和属城的郊野．共四座城。

Heshbon with its suburbs, Jazer with its suburbs; four cities in all.

其馀利未支派的人、就是米拉利的子孙、按着宗族拈阄所得的、共十二座城。

All [these were] the cities of the children of Merari according to their families, even the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities.

利未人在以色列人的地业中所得的城、共四十八座、并有属城的郊野．

All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs.

这些城四围都有属城的郊野．城城都是如此。

These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus it was with all these cities.

这样、耶和华将从前向他们列祖起誓所应许的全地、赐给以色列人、他们就得了为业、住在其中。

So Jehovah gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

耶和华照着向他们列祖起誓所应许的一切话、使他们四境平安．他们一切仇敌中、没有一人在他们面前站立得住．耶和华把一切仇敌都交在他们手中。

And Jehovah gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; Jehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand.

耶和华应许赐福给以色列家的话、一句也没有落空、都应验了。

There failed not aught of any good thing which Jehovah had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

第22章

当时约书亚召了流便人、迦得人、和玛拿西半支派的人来、

Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

对他们说、耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐你们的、你们都遵守了．我所吩咐你们的、你们也都听从了．

and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, and have hearkened unto my voice in all that I commanded you:

你们这许多日子、总没有撇离你们的弟兄、直到今日．并守了耶和华你们神所吩咐你们当守的．

ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of Jehovah your God.

如今耶和华你们神照着他所应许的、使你们弟兄得享平安、现在可以转回你们的帐棚、到耶和华的仆人摩西在约但河东所赐你们为业之地．

And now Jehovah your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he spake unto them: therefore now turn ye, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan.

只要切切的谨慎遵行耶和华仆人摩西所吩咐你们的诫命律法．爱耶和华你们的神．行他一切的道．守他的诫命．专靠他、尽心尽性事奉他。

Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

于是约书亚为他们祝福、打发他们去、他们就回自己的帐棚去了。

So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went unto their tents.

玛拿西那半支派、摩西早已在巴珊分给他们地业．这半支派、约书亚在约但河西、在他们弟兄中、分给他们地业．约书亚打发他们回帐棚的时候、为他们祝福．

Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [inheritance] in Bashan; but unto the other half gave Joshua among their brethren beyond the Jordan westward; moreover when Joshua sent them away unto their tents, he blessed them,

对他们说、你们带许多财物、许多牲畜、和金、银、铜、铁、并许多衣服、回你们的帐棚去．要将你们从仇敌夺来的物、与你们众弟兄同分。

and spake unto them, saying, Return with much wealth unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

于是流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人、从迦南地的示罗起行、离开以色列人、回往他们得为业的基列地、就是照耶和华藉摩西所吩咐的得了为业之地。

And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.

流便人、迦得人、和玛拿西半支派的人、到了靠近约但河的一带迦南地、就在约但河那里、筑了一座坛．那坛看着高大。

And when they came unto the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look upon.

以色列人听说流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人、靠近约但河边、在迦南地属以色列人的那边筑了一座坛．

And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertaineth to the children of Israel.

全会众一听见、就聚集在示罗、要上去攻打他们。

And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.

以色列人打发祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈、往基列地去见流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人。

And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

又打发十个首领与非尼哈同去、就是以色列每支派的一个首领、都是以色列军中的统领。

and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers` house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were every one of them head of their fathers` houses among the thousands of Israel.

他们到了基列地、见流便人、迦得人、和玛拿西半支派的人、对他们说、

And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,

耶和华全会众这样说、你们今日转去不跟从耶和华、干犯以色列的神、为自己筑一座坛、悖逆了耶和华、这犯的是甚么罪呢．

Thus saith the whole congregation of Jehovah, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that ye have builded you an altar, to rebel this day against Jehovah?

从前拜毘珥的罪孽、还算小么．虽然瘟疫临到耶和华的会众、到今日我们还没有洗净这罪。

Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves unto this day, although there came a plague upon the congregation of Jehovah,

你们今日竟转去不跟从耶和华么．你们今日既悖逆耶和华、明日他必向以色列全会众发怒．

that ye must turn away this day from following Jehovah? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to-day against Jehovah, that to-morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

你们所得为业之地、若嫌不洁净、就可以过到耶和华之地、就是耶和华的帐幕所住之地、在我们中间得地业．只是不可悖逆耶和华、也不可得罪我们、在耶和华我们神的坛以外为自己筑坛。

Howbeit, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of Jehovah, wherein Jehovah`s tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against Jehovah, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.

从前谢拉的曾孙亚干、岂不是在那当灭的物上犯了罪、就有忿怒临到以色列全会众么．那人在所犯的罪中、不独一人死亡。

Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

于是流便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人、回答以色列军中的统领说、

Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spake unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,

大能者神耶和华。大能者神耶和华、他是知道的。以色列人也必知道。我们若有悖逆的意思、或是干犯耶和华．（愿你今日不保佑我们）

The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, the Mighty One, God, Jehovah, he knoweth; and Israel he shall know: if it be in rebellion, or if in trespass against Jehovah (save thou us not this day,)

为自己筑坛、要转去不跟从耶和华、或是要将燔祭、素祭、平安祭献在坛上、愿耶和华亲自讨我们的罪。

that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Jehovah; or if to offer thereon burnt-offering or meal-offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace-offerings thereon, let Jehovah himself require it;

我们行这事并非无故、是特意作的、说、恐怕日后你们的子孙对我们的子孙说、你们与耶和华以色列的神、有何关涉呢．

and if we have not [rather] out of carefulness done this, [and] of purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah, the God of Israel?

因为耶和华把约但河定为我们和你们这流便人、迦得人的交界．你们与耶和华无分了、这样、你们的子孙、就使我们的子孙、不再敬畏耶和华了。

for Jehovah hath made the Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no portion in Jehovah: so might your children make our children cease from fearing Jehovah.

因此我们说、不如为自己筑一座坛、不是为献燔祭、也不是为献别的祭、

Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice:

乃是为你我中间、和你我后人中间作证据．好叫我们也在耶和华面前献燔祭、平安祭、和别的祭事奉他、免得你们的子孙、日后对我们的子孙说、你们与耶和华无分了。

but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may do the service of Jehovah before him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no portion in Jehovah.

所以我们说、日后你们对我们、或对我们的后人这样说、我们就可以回答说、你们看我们列祖所筑的坛、是耶和华坛的样式、这并不是为献燔祭、也不是为献别的祭、乃是为作你我中间的证据。

Therefore said we, It shall be, when they so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Jehovah, which our fathers made, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.

我们在耶和华我们神帐幕前的坛以外、另筑一座坛、为献燔祭、素祭、和别的祭、悖逆耶和华、今日转去不跟从他、我们断没有这个意思。

Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn away this day from following Jehovah, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for meal-offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle.

祭司非尼哈与会中的首领、就是与他同来以色列军中的统领、听见流便人、迦得人、玛拿西人所说的话、就都以为美。

And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them well.

祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈、对流便人、迦得人、玛拿西人说、今日我们知道耶和华在我们中间、因为你们没有向他犯了这罪。现在你们救以色列人脱离耶和华的手了。

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we know that Jehovah is in the midst of us, because ye have not committed this trespass against Jehovah: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.

祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈、与众首领离了流便人、迦得人、从基列地回往迦南地、到了以色列人那里、便将这事回报他们。

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

以色列人以这事为美．就称颂神、不再题上去攻打流便人、迦得人、毁坏他们所住的地了。

And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spake no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt.

流便人、迦得人、给坛起名叫证坛、意思说、这坛在我们中间证明耶和华是神。

And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed]: For, [said they], it is a witness between us that Jehovah is God.

第23章

耶和华使以色列人安静、不与四围的一切仇敌争战、已经多日、约书亚年纪老迈、

And it came to pass after many days, when Jehovah had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years;

就把以色列众人的长老、族长、审判官、并官长都召了来、对他们说、我年纪已经老迈．

that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and well stricken in years:

耶和华你们的神、因你们的缘故、向那些国所行的一切事、你们亲眼看见了、因那为你们争战的、是耶和华你们的神。

and ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for Jehovah your God, he it is that hath fought for you.

我所剪除和所剩下的各国、从约但河起到日落之处的大海、我已经拈阄分给你们各支派为业．

Behold, I have allotted unto you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun.

耶和华你们的神必将他们从你们面前赶出去、使他们离开你们、你们就必得他们的地为业、正如耶和华你们的神所应许的。

And Jehovah your God, he will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God spake unto you.

所以你们要大大壮胆、谨守遵行写在摩西律法书上的一切话．不可偏离左右。

Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

不可与你们中间所剩下的这些国民搀杂．他们的神、你们不可题他的名、不可指着他起誓、也不可事奉、叩拜．

that ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves unto them;

只要照着你们到今日所行的、专靠耶和华你们的神。

but cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day.

因为耶和华已经把又大又强的国民、从你们面前赶出．直到今日、没有一人在你们面前站立得住。

For Jehovah hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath stood before you unto this day.

你们一人必追赶千人、因耶和华你们的神照他所应许的为你们争战。

One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he spake unto you.

你们要分外谨慎、爱耶和华你们的神。

Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love Jehovah your God.

你们若稍微转去、与你们中间所剩下的这些国民联络、彼此结亲、互相往来、

Else if ye do at all go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you;

你们要确实知道、耶和华你们的神、必不再将他们从你们眼前赶出．他们却要成为你们的网罗、机槛、肋上的鞭、眼中的刺．直到你们在耶和华你们神所赐的这美地上灭亡。

know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap unto you, and a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.

我现在要走世人必走的路、你们是一心一意的知道耶和华你们神所应许赐福与你们的话、没有一句落空、都应验在你们身上了。

And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which Jehovah your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, not one thing hath failed thereof.

耶和华你们神所应许的一切福气、怎样临到你们身上、耶和华也必照样使各样祸患临到你们身上、直到把你们从耶和华你们神所赐的这美地上除灭。

And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon you of which Jehovah your God spake unto you, so will Jehovah bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.

你们若违背耶和华你们神吩咐你们所守的约、去事奉别神、叩拜他、耶和华的怒气、必向你们发作、使你们在他所赐的美地上速速灭亡。

When ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them; then will the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

第24章

约书亚将以色列的众支派聚集在示剑．召了以色列的长老、族长、审判官、并官长来、他们就站在神面前．

And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.

约书亚对众民说、耶和华以色列的神如此说、古时你们的列祖、就是亚伯拉罕、和拿鹤的父亲他拉、住在大河那边事奉别神．

And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods.

我将你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕、从大河那边带来、领他走遍迦南全地、又使他的子孙众多、把以撒赐给他．

And I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.

又把雅各和以扫赐给以撒、将西珥山赐给以扫为业．后来雅各和他的子孙下到埃及去了．

And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it: and Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.

我差遣摩西、亚伦、并照我在埃及中所行的降灾与埃及．然后把你们领出来．

And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in the midst thereof: and afterward I brought you out.

我领你们列祖出埃及、他们就到了红海、埃及人带领车辆马兵、追赶你们列祖到红海．

And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with horsemen unto the Red Sea.

你们列祖哀求耶和华、他就使你们和埃及人中间黑暗了．又使海水淹没埃及人．我在埃及所行的事、你们亲眼见过。你们在旷野也住了许多年日．

And when they cried out unto Jehovah, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness many days.

我领你们到约但河东、亚摩利人所住之地．他们与你们争战、我将他们交在你们手中、你们便得了他们的地为业．我也在你们面前、将他们灭绝。

And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that dwelt beyond the Jordan: and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand, and ye possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you.

那时摩押王西拨的儿子巴勒、起来攻击以色列人．打发人召了比珥的儿子巴兰来、咒诅你们．

Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel: and he sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you;

我不肯听巴兰的话、所以他倒为你们连连祝福。这样、我便救你们脱离巴勒的手．

but I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.

你们过了约但河、到了耶利哥、耶利哥人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、迦南人、赫人、革迦撒人、希未人、耶布斯人、都与你们争战。我把他们交在你们手里。

And ye went over the Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.

我打发黄蜂飞在你们前面、将亚摩利人的二王、从你们面前撵出、并不是用你的刀、也不是用你的弓。

And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

我赐给你们地土、非你们所修治的．我赐给你们城邑、非你们所建造的．你们就住在其中．又得吃非你们所栽种的葡萄园、橄榄园的果子。

And I gave you a land whereon thou hadst not labored, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell therein; of vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

现在你们要敬畏耶和华、诚心实意的事奉他．将你们列祖在大河那边和在埃及所事奉的神除掉、去事奉耶和华．

Now therefore fear Jehovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye Jehovah.

若是你们以事奉耶和华为不好、今日就可以选择所要事奉的、是你们列祖在大河那边所事奉的神呢、是你们所住这地的亚摩利人的神呢。至于我、和我家、我们必定事奉耶和华。

And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah.

百姓回答说、我们断不敢离弃耶和华去事奉别神．

And the people answered and said, Far be it from us that we should forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods;

因耶和华我们的神、曾将我们和我们列祖从埃及地的为奴之家领出来、在我们眼前行了那些大神迹、在我们所行的道上、所经过的诸国、都保护了我们。

for Jehovah our God, he it is that brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and that did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed;

耶和华又把住此地的亚摩利人、都从我们面前赶出去．所以我们必事奉耶和华、因为他是我们的神。

and Jehovah drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites that dwelt in the land: therefore we also will serve Jehovah; for he is our God.

约书亚对百姓说、你们不能事奉耶和华．因为他是圣洁的神、是忌邪的神、必不赦免你们的过犯罪恶．

And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve Jehovah; for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgression nor your sins.

你们若离弃耶和华去事奉外邦神、耶和华在降福之后、必转而降祸与你们、把你们灭绝。

If ye forsake Jehovah, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

百姓回答约书亚说、不然、我们定要事奉耶和华。

And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve Jehovah.

约书亚对百姓说、你们选定耶和华要事奉他、你们自己作见证罢。他们说、我们愿意作见证。

And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you Jehovah, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.

约书亚说、你们现在要除掉你们中间的外邦神、专心归向耶和华以色列的神。

Now therefore put away, [said he], the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, the God of Israel.

百姓回答约书亚说、我们必事奉耶和华我们的神、听从他的话。

And the people said unto Joshua, Jehovah our God will we serve, and unto his voice will we hearken.

当日约书亚就与百姓立约、在示剑为他们立定律例典章。

So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

约书亚将这些话都写在神的律法书上．又将一块大石头、立在橡树下耶和华的圣所旁边。

And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of Jehovah.

约书亚对百姓说、看哪、这石头可以向我们作见证．因为是听见了耶和华所吩咐我们的一切话、倘或你们背弃你们的神、这石头就可以向你们作见证〈倘或云云或作所以要向你们作见证免得你们背弃耶和华你们的神〉

And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it hath heard all the words of Jehovah which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest ye deny your God.

于是约书亚打发百姓各归自己的地业去了。

So Joshua sent the people away, every man unto his inheritance.

这些事以后、耶和华的仆人嫩的儿子约书亚、正一百一十岁就死了。

And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.

以色列人将他葬在他地业的境内、就是在以法莲山地的亭拿西拉在迦实山的北边。

And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.

约书亚在世、和约书亚死后、那些知道耶和华为以色列人所行诸事的长老、还在的时候、以色列人事奉耶和华。

And Israel served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of Jehovah, that he had wrought for Israel.

以色列人从埃及所带来约瑟的骸骨、葬埋在示剑．就是在雅各从前用一百块银子向示剑的父亲哈抹的子孙所买的那块地里．这就作了约瑟子孙的产业。

And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money: and they became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

亚伦的儿子以利亚撒也死了、就把他葬在他儿子非尼哈以法莲山地所得的小山上。

And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill-country of Ephraim.
