Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
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耶和華對 約書亞 說：「不要懼怕，也不要驚惶。你起來，率領一切兵丁上 艾 城去，我已經把 艾 城的王和他的民、他的城，並他的地，都交在你手裏。
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你怎樣待 耶利哥 和 耶利哥 的王，也當照樣待 艾 城和 艾 城的王。只是城內所奪的財物和牲畜，你們可以取為自己的掠物。你要在城後設下伏兵。」
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於是， 約書亞 和一切兵丁都起來，要上 艾 城去。 約書亞 選了三萬大能的勇士，夜間打發他們前往，
4And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.
4吩咐他們說：「你們要在城後埋伏，不可離城太遠，都要各自準備。
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我與我所帶領的眾民要向城前往。城裏的人像初次出來攻擊我們的時候，我們就在他們面前逃跑，
6Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
6他們必出來追趕我們，直到我們引誘他們離開城；因為他們必說：『這些人像初次在我們面前逃跑。』所以我們要在他們面前逃跑，
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你們就從埋伏的地方起來，奪取那城，因為耶和華－你們的上帝必把城交在你們手裏。
8And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
8你們奪了城以後，就放火燒城，要照耶和華的話行。這是我吩咐你們的。」
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約書亞 打發他們前往，他們就上埋伏的地方去，住在 伯特利 和 艾 城的中間，就是在 艾 城的西邊。這夜 約書亞 卻在民中住宿。
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約書亞 清早起來，點齊百姓，他和 以色列 的長老在百姓前面上 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眾民，就是他所帶領的兵丁，都上去，向前直往，來到城前，在 艾 城北邊安營。在 約書亞 和 艾 城中間有一山谷。
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他挑了約有五千人，使他們埋伏在 伯特利 和 艾 城的中間，就是在 艾 城的西邊，
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於是安置了百姓，就是城北的全軍和城西的伏兵。這夜 約書亞 進入山谷之中。
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 城的王看見 這景況 ，就和全城的人，清早急忙起來，按所定的時候，出到 亞拉巴 前，要與 以色列 人交戰；王卻不知道在城後有伏兵。
15But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
15約書亞 和 以色列 眾人在他們面前裝敗，往那通曠野的路逃跑。
16But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
16城內的眾民都被招聚，追趕他們； 艾 城人追趕的時候，就被引誘離開城。
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 城沒有一人不出來追趕 以色列 人的，撇了敞開的城門，去追趕 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耶和華吩咐 約書亞 說：「你向 艾 城伸出手裏的短槍，因為我要將城交在你手裏。」 約書亞 就向城伸出手裏的短槍。
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，伏兵就從埋伏的地方急忙起來，奪了城，跑進城去，放火焚燒。
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 城的人回頭一看，不料，城中煙氣沖天，他們就無力向左向右逃跑。那往曠野逃跑的百姓便轉身攻擊追趕他們的人。
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約書亞 和 以色列 眾人見伏兵已經奪了城，城中煙氣飛騰，就轉身回去，擊殺 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伏兵也出城迎擊 艾 城人， 艾 城人就困在 以色列 人中間，前後都是 以色列 人。於是 以色列 人擊殺他們，沒有留下一個，也沒有一個逃脫的，
23And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
23生擒了 艾 城的王，將他解到 約書亞 那裏。
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 人在田間和曠野殺盡所追趕一切 艾 城的居民。 艾 城人倒在刀下，直到滅盡； 以色列 眾人就回到 艾 城，用刀殺了城中的人。
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當日殺斃的人，連男帶女共有一萬二千，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約書亞 沒有收回手裏所伸出來的短槍，直到把 艾 城的一切居民盡行殺滅。
27And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
27惟獨城中的牲畜和財物， 以色列 人都取為自己的掠物，是照耶和華所吩咐 約書亞 的話。
28And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
28約書亞 將 艾 城焚燒，使城永為高堆、荒場，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又將 艾 城王掛在樹上，直到晚上。日落的時候， 約書亞 吩咐人把屍首從樹上取下來，丟在城門口，在屍首上堆成一大堆石頭，直存到今日。
30Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
30那時， 約書亞 在 以巴路山 上為耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝築一座壇，
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是用沒有動過鐵器的整石頭築的，照着耶和華僕人 摩西 所吩咐 以色列 人的話，正如 摩西 律法書上所寫的。眾人在這壇上給耶和華奉獻燔祭和平安祭。
32And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
32約書亞 在那裏，當着 以色列 人面前，將 摩西 所寫的律法抄寫在石頭上。
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 眾人，無論是本地人、是寄居的，和長老、官長，並審判官，都站在 約 櫃兩旁，在抬耶和華約櫃的祭司 利未 人面前，一半對着 基利心山 ，一半對着 以巴路山 ，為 以色列 民祝福，正如耶和華僕人 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隨後， 約書亞 將律法上祝福、咒詛的話，照着律法書上一切所寫的，都宣讀了一遍。
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 所吩咐的一切話， 約書亞 在 以色列 全會眾和婦女、孩子，並他們中間寄居的外人面前，沒有一句不宣讀的。
