¹Now 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;

¹Ko pa sliši Adonizedek, kralj v Jeruzalemu, da je Jozue dobil Aj in ga s prokletjem pokončal, storivši z Ajem in njegovim kraljem enako, kakor je storil Jerihu in njegovemu kralju, in da so prebivalci v Gibeonu sklenili mir z Izraelci in bivali med njimi,

²That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.

²se silno zboji, ker Gibeon je bil veliko mesto, kakor kraljevo mesto, in ker je bilo večje nego Aj, in vsi meščani njegovi so bili junaki.

³Wherefore 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,

³Zato pošlje Adonizedek, jeruzalemski kralj, k Hohamu, kralju v Hebronu, in k Piramu, kralju v Jarmutu, in k Jafiju, kralju v Lahisu, in k Debirju, kralju v Eglonu, in jim sporoči:

⁴Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

⁴Pridite gori k meni in pomagajte mi, da pokončamo Gibeon, kajti mir je sklenil z Jozuetom in s sinovi Izraelovimi.

⁵Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.

⁵Zbere se torej petero amorejskih kraljev, kralj v Jeruzalemu, kralj v Hebronu, kralj v Jarmutu, kralj v Lahisu, kralj v Eglonu, in gredo gori z vsemi svojimi vojskami in se utabore proti Gibeonu in začno ž njim vojno.

⁶And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

⁶Gibeonski možje pa pošljejo k Jozuetu v tabor v Gilgalu in mu sporoče: Ne odtegni roke svoje od hlapcev svojih; pridi hitro gori k nam in nas reši ter nam pomagaj: zakaj vsi kralji Amorejcev, ki prebivajo na gorah, so se zbrali zoper nas.

⁷So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

⁷Jozue se torej napoti gori iz Gilgala, on in ž njim vsi vojščaki in vsi junaški možje.

⁸And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

⁸GOSPOD pa veli Jozuetu: Ne boj se jih, kajti dal sem jih v roke tvoje; nihče od njih ne bo mogel stati pred teboj.

⁹Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.

⁹In Jozue, ko je šel gori celo noč od Gilgala, plane nadnje iznenada.

¹⁰And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

¹⁰In GOSPOD jih preplaši spričo Izraela in napravi med njimi velik poboj pri Gibeonu, in podili so jih po poti, ki drži k brdom Bethoronskim, ter jih pobijali do Azeke in do Makede.

¹¹And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

¹¹In zgodi se, ko so bežali pred Izraelom in so šli doli po strmini Bethoronski, da je GOSPOD metal veliko kamenje z neba nanje prav do Azeke, in mrli so: več jih je pomrlo od kamenite toče, nego so jih pomorili sinovi Izraelovi z mečem.

¹²Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

¹²Takrat je govoril Jozue z GOSPODOM, v dan, ko je GOSPOD izročil Amorejce pogubi pred Izraelovimi sinovi, in je dejal vpričo Izraela: Solnce, stoj mirno v Gibeonu in, mesec, v dolini Ajalonu!

¹³And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

¹³In mirno je stalo solnce in mesec je obstal, dokler se narod ni sovražnikom maščeval. Ni li to pisano v knjigi Pravičnega? In stalo je solnce sredi neba in ni hitelo, da bi zašlo, skoraj ves dan.

¹⁴And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

¹⁴In ni bilo temu enakega dne ne prej, ne poslej, da bi GOSPOD tako uslišal človekov glas; zakaj GOSPOD se je bojeval za Izraela.

¹⁵And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

¹⁵In vrne se Jozue in ves Izrael ž njim v tabor v Gilgalu.

¹⁶But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.

¹⁶A tistih pet kraljev je zbežalo, in skrili so se v votlini pri Makedi.

¹⁷And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

¹⁷In sporoči se Jozuetu: Našli so petero kraljev skritih v votlini v Makedi.

¹⁸And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:

¹⁸In Jozue veli: Privalite velike kamene k vhodu v votlino in postavite prednjo može, da jih varujejo.

¹⁹And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

¹⁹A vi ne stojte, zasledujte svoje sovražnike in pobijajte njih zadnje ostanke, ne dajte jim stopiti v njih mesta; zakaj dal vam jih je v roko GOSPOD, vaš Bog.

²⁰And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.

²⁰Ko so jih torej Jozue in Izraelovi sinovi docela porazili z zelo velikim pobojem, da jih je bilo konec, in kar jih je preostalo, so ušli v utrjena mesta:

²¹And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

²¹tedaj se vrne vse ljudstvo v tabor k Jozuetu v Makedi v miru; nihče ne migne več z jezikom proti komu izmed sinov Izraelovih.

²²Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.

²²Nato reče Jozue: Odprite vhod v votlino in pripeljite mi tistih petero kraljev iz nje!

²³And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

²³In store tako in mu pripeljejo tistih pet kraljev iz votline: kralja jeruzalemskega, kralja hebronskega, kralja jarmutskega, kralja lahiškega in kralja eglonskega.

²⁴And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

²⁴In ko so pripeljali te kralje k Jozuetu, pokliče Jozue vse Izraelove može in reče načelnikom vojščakov, ki so bili šli ž njim: Pridite in stopite tem kraljem z nogami na tilnik! In gredo ter jim stopajo z nogami na tilnik.

²⁵And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

²⁵Jozue pa jim reče: Ne bojte se in ne bodi vas groza; močni bodite in srčni, zakaj tako stori GOSPOD vsem vašim sovražnikom, ki se bojujete zoper nje.

²⁶And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.

²⁶In potem jih Jozue udari in jih umori in obesi na pet dreves; in so viseli na drevesih do večera.

²⁷And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.

²⁷Ko pa je solnce zahajalo, zapove Jozue, naj jih snamejo z dreves in vržejo v votlino, ki so se vanjo bili zalezli; in polože velike kamene na vhod v votlino, ki so tam do današnjega dne.

²⁸And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.

²⁸Tisti dan je dobil Jozue Makedo in jo udaril z ostrino meča in kralja njenega; izvršil je prokletje nad njo in nad vsemi dušami, ki so bile v njej, pustil ni nikogar živega; in storil je kralju v Makedi, kakor je bil storil kralju v Jerihu.

²⁹Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:

²⁹In Jozue in ž njim ves Izrael je šel dalje iz Makede proti Libni in se bojeval z Libno.

³⁰And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.

³⁰In GOSPOD jo je tudi dal in kralja njenega v roko Izraelu; in udaril jo je z ostrino meča in vse duše, ki so bile v njej, nikogar ni pustil živega, in kralju njenemu je storil enako kakor kralju v Jerihu.

³¹And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:

³¹Potem je šel Jozue in ž njim ves Izrael dalje od Libne proti Lahisu, in raztaboril se je ob njem in se ž njim bojeval.

³²And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

³²In GOSPOD je dal Lahis Izraelu v roke, da so ga vzeli drugi dan in ga udarili z ostrino meča in vse duše, ki so bile v njem, prav tako, kakor je storil v Libni.

³³Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

³³Tedaj pride gori Horam, kralj v Gezerju, pomagat Lahisu; a Jozue ga udari in vse ljudstvo njegovo, da mu ni preostalo ne enega.

³⁴And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:

³⁴In Jozue in ž njim ves Izrael gre dalje iz Lahisa proti Eglonu, in se raztabori ob njem in se bojuje ž njim,

³⁵And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

³⁵in ga dobi še tisti dan v pest ter ga udari z ostrino meča in izvrši prokletje nad vsemi dušami, ki so bile v njem, tisti dan, prav tako, kakor je storil v Lahisu.

³⁶And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:

³⁶In Jozue in ves Izrael ž njim je šel gori od Eglona proti Hebronu, in se ž njim bojujejo,

³⁷And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.

³⁷in ga dobe ter ga udarijo z ostrino meča, kralja njegovega in vsa mesta njegova in vse duše, ki so bile v njih; ni dal ubežati nikomur, prav kakor je storil v Eglonu; in izvršil je prokletje nad njim in nad vsemi dušami, ki so bile v njem.

³⁸And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:

³⁸Nato se obrne Jozue in ves Izrael ž njim proti Debirju in se ž njim bojuje,

³⁹And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.

³⁹in ga dobi in kralja njegovega in vsa mesta njegova, in jih udari z ostrino meča in prokletju izroči vse duše, ki so bile v njem; ubežal mu ni niti eden; kakor je storil Hebronu in kakor je storil Libni in njenemu kralju, tako je storil Debirju in kralju njegovemu.

⁴⁰So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

⁴⁰Tako je Jozue premagal vso deželo, gorovje in vso južno stran in nižavo in strmine in vse njih kralje, ubežal ni niti eden; in izvršil je prokletje nad vsem, kar je dihalo, kakor je bil zapovedal GOSPOD, Izraelov Bog.

⁴¹And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.

⁴¹In Jozue jih je premagal od Kades-barnee do Gaze in vso Gosensko pokrajino prav do Gibeona.

⁴²And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

⁴²In vse te kralje in njih dežele je zavzel Jozue naenkrat, kajti GOSPOD, Izraelov Bog, se je bojeval za Izraela.In Jozue in ž njim ves Izrael se je vrnil zopet v tabor v Gilgalu.

⁴³And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

⁴³In Jozue in ž njim ves Izrael se je vrnil zopet v tabor v Gilgalu.
