it is mouldy：
9：13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 bottles of wine； which we filled； were new； and； behold； they be rent： and these our garments and our shoes are bee old by reason of the very long journey。
9：14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 victuals； and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD。
9：15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 league with them； to let them live： and the princes of the congregation sware unto them。
9：16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 league with them； that they heard that they were their neighbours； and that they dwelt among them。
9：17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 Kirjathjearim。
9：18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 the LORD God of Israel。 And all the congregation murmured against the princes。
9：19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 the LORD God of Israel： now therefore we may not touch them。
9：20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； we will even let them live； lest wrath be upon us； because of the oath which we sware unto them。
9：21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； but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation； as the princes had promised them。
9：22约书亚召了他们来，对他们说，为什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？
9：23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 none of you be freed from being bondmen； and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God。
9：24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 the LORD thy God manded 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 of our lives because of you； and have done this thing。
9：25现在我们在你手中，你以怎样待我们为善为正，就怎样做吧。
And now； behold； we are in thine hand： as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us； do。
9：26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。
9：27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 the LORD； even unto this day； in the place which he should choose。
旧约 约书亚记（Joshua） 第 10 章 （ 本篇共有 24 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
10：1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 Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai； and had utterly destroyed it； as he had done to Jericho and her king； so he had done to Ai and her king； and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel； and were among them；
10：2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。
10：3所以耶路撒冷王亚多尼洗德打发人去见希伯仑王何咸，耶末王毗兰，拉吉王雅非亚，和伊矶伦王底璧，说，
Wherefore Adonizedec 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；
10：4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。
e up unto me； and help me； that we may smite Gibeon： for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel。
10：5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 before Gibeon； and made war against it。
10：6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； e up to us quickly； and save us； and help us： for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us。
10：7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 ascended from Gilgal； he； and all the people of war with him； and all the mighty men of valour。
10：8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删立得住。
And the LORD said unto Joshua； Fear them not： for I have delivered them into thine hand； there shall not a man of them stand before thee。
10：9约书亚就终夜从吉甲上去，猛然临到他们那里。
Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly； and went up from Gilgal all night。
10：10耶和华使他们在以色列人面前溃乱。约书亚在基遍大大地杀败他们，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 the LORD disfited them before Israel； and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon； and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron； and smote them to Azekah； and unto Makkedah。
10：11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（冰雹原文作石头）在他们身上，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； and were in the going down to Bethhoron； that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah； and they died： they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword。
10：12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 the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel； and he said in the sight of Israel； Sun； stand thou still upon Gibeon； and thou； Moon； in the valley of Ajalon。
10：13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吗。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 people had avenged themselves upon their enemies。 Is not this written in the book of Jasher？ So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven； and hasted not to go down about a whole day。
10：14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 the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man： for the LORD fought for Israel。
10：15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。
10：16那五王逃跑，藏在玛基大洞里。
But these five kings fled； and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah。
10：17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 hid in a cave at Makkedah。
10：18约书亚说，你们把几块大石头滚到洞口，派人看守，
And Joshua said； Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave； and set men by it for to keep them：
10：19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。
And stay ye not； but pursue after your enemies； and smite the hindmost of them； suffer them not to enter into their cities： for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand。
10：20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； that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities。
10：21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。
And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace： none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel。
10：22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
