Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.
1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。
2And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.
2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。」
3And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,
3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，
4And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.
4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。
5But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:
5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，
6Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
6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，
7And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.
7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。
8And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
8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。」
9And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,
9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。
10And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.
10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。
11And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
11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。
12And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:
12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，
13But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.
13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。
14And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
14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。
15But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
15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。
16But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
16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。
17And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
17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。
18The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
18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。
19And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.
19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。
20And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.
20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。
21So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.
21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。
22And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.
22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，
23And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
23生擒了 艾 城的王，将他解到 约书亚 那里。
24So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
24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。
25And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
25当日杀毙的人，连男带女共有一万二千，就是 艾 城所有的人。
26But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
26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。
27And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
27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。
28And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
28约书亚 将 艾 城焚烧，使城永为高堆、荒场，直到今日；
29And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.
29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。
30Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
30那时， 约书亚 在 以巴路山 上为耶和华— 以色列 的 神筑一座坛，
31As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.
31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。
32And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
32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。
33And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.
33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。
34After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook of the law.
34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。
35He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.
35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。
