Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Now 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,
1ΩΣ δὲ ἤκουσεν Ἀδωνιβεζὲκ βασιλεὺς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ὅτι ἔλαβεν Ἰησοῦς τὴν Γαὶ καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσεν αὐτήν, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τὴν Ἱεριχὼ καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς, οὕτως ἐποίησαν καὶ τὴν Γαὶ καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς, καὶ ὅτι ηὐτομόλησαν οἱ κατοικοῦντες Γαβαὼν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ πρὸς Ἰσραήλ,
2they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
2καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν ἀπ' αὐτῶν σφόδρα· ἤδει γὰρ ὅτι πόλις μεγάλη Γαβαών, ὡσεὶ μία τῶν μητροπόλεων, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτῆς ἰσχυροί·
3Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
3καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἀδωνιβεζὲκ βασιλεὺς Ἱερουσαλὴμ πρὸς Ἐλὰμ βασιλέα Χεβρὼν καὶ πρὸς Φιδὼν βασιλέα Ἱεριμοὺθ καὶ πρὸς Ἰεφθὰ βασιλέα Λαχὶς καὶ πρὸς Δαβὶν βασιλέα Ὀδολλὰμ λέγων·
4“Come up to me and help me. Let’s strike Gibeon; for they have made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.”
4δεῦτε, ἀνάβητε πρός με καὶ βοηθήσατέ μοι, καὶ ἐκπολεμήσωμεν Γαβαών· ηὐτομόλησαν γὰρ πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ.
5Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together and went up, they and all their armies, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
5καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ πέντε βασιλεῖς τῶν Ἰεβουσαίων, βασιλεὺς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ βασιλεὺς Χεβρὼν καὶ βασιλεὺς Ἱεριμοὺθ καὶ βασιλεὺς Λαχὶς καὶ βασιλεὺς Ὀδολλάμ, αὐτοὶ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτῶν καὶ περιεκάθισαν τὴν Γαβαὼν καὶ ἐξεπολιόρκουν αὐτήν.
6The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Don’t abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.”
6καὶ ἀπέστειλαν οἱ κατοικοῦντες Γαβαὼν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Γάλγαλα λέγοντες· μὴ ἐκλύσῃς τὰς χεῖράς σου ἀπὸ τῶν παίδων σου· ἀνάβηθι πρὸς ἡμᾶς τὸ τάχος καὶ βοήθησον ἡμῖν καὶ ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς· ὅτι συνηγμένοι εἰσὶν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν Ἀμορραίων, οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν ὀρεινήν.
7So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and the whole army with him, including all the mighty men of valor.
7καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰησοῦς ἐκ Γαλγάλων, αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ πολεμιστὴς μετ' αὐτοῦ, πᾶς δυνατὸς ἐν ἰσχύϊ.
8The LORD said to Joshua, “Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you.”
8καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Ἰησοῦν· μὴ φοβηθῇς αὐτούς, εἰς γὰρ τὰς χεῖράς σου παραδέδωκα αὐτούς, οὐχ ὑπολειφθήσεται ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν.
9Joshua therefore came to them suddenly. He marched from Gilgal all night.
9καὶ ἐπεὶ παρεγένετο Ἰησοῦς ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ἄφνω, ὅλην τὴν νύκτα εἰσεπορεύθη ἐκ Γαλγάλων.
10The LORD confused them before Israel. He killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
10καὶ ἐξέστησεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ συνέτριψεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος συντρίψει μεγάλῃ ἐν Γαβαών, καὶ κατεδίωξαν αὐτοὺς ὁδὸν ἀναβάσεως Ὠρωνὶν καὶ κατέκοπτον αὐτοὺς ἕως Ἀζηκὰ καὶ ἕως Μακηδά.
11As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, the LORD hurled down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.
11ἐν δὲ τῷ φεύγειν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τῆς καταβάσεως Ὠρωνὶν καὶ Κύριος ἐπέρριψεν αὐτοῖς λίθους χαλάζης ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἕως Ἀζηκά, καὶ ἐγένοντο πλείους οἱ ἀποθανόντες διὰ τοὺς λίθους τῆς χαλάζης ἢ οὓς ἀπέκτειναν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ μαχαίρᾳ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ.
12Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel. He said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!”
12Τότε ἐλάλησεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς Κύριον, ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ παρέδωκεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν Ἀμορραῖον ὑποχείριον Ἰσραήλ, ἡνίκα συνέτριψεν αὐτοὺς ἐν Γαβαὼν καὶ συνετρίβησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς· στήτω ὁ ἥλιος κατὰ Γαβαὼν καὶ ἡ σελήνη κατὰ φάραγγα Αἰλών.
13The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.
13καὶ ἔστη ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ἡ σελήνη ἐν στάσει, ἕως ἠμύνατο ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν. καὶ ἔστη ὁ ἥλιος κατὰ μέσον τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, οὐ προεπορεύετο εἰς δυσμὰς εἰς τέλος ἡμέρας μιᾶς.
14There was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
14καὶ οὐκ ἐγένετο ἡμέρα τοιαύτη οὐδὲ τὸ πρότερον οὐδὲ τὸ ἔσχατον, ὥστε ἐπακοῦσαι Θεὸν ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι Κύριος συνεξεπολέμησε τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
15Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.

16These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
16Καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ πέντε βασιλεῖς οὗτοι καὶ κατεκρύβησαν εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ ἐν Μακηδά.
17Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
17καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες· εὕρηνται οἱ πέντε βασιλεῖς κεκρυμμένοι ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ τῷ ἐν Μακηδά.
18Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;
18καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς· κυλίσατε λίθους ἐπὶ τὸ στόμα τοῦ σπηλαίου καὶ καταστήσατε ἄνδρας φυλάσσειν ἐπ' αὐτούς,
19but don’t stay there. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
19ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ ἑστήκατε καταδιώκοντες ὀπίσω τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν καὶ καταλάβετε τὴν οὐραγίαν αὐτῶν καὶ μὴ ἀφῆτε εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν· παρέδωκε γὰρ αὐτοὺς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν.
20When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
20καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς κατέπαυσεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς υἱὸς Ἰσραὴλ κόπτοντες αὐτοὺς κοπὴν μεγάλην σφόδρα ἕως εἰς τέλος, καὶ οἱ διασῳζόμενοι διεσώθησαν εἰς τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυράς,
21all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
21καὶ ἀπεστράφη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Ἰησοῦν εἰς Μακηδὰ ὑγιεῖς, καὶ οὐκ ἔγρυξεν οὐδεὶς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτοῦ.
22Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”
22καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς· ἀνοίξατε τὸ σπήλαιον καὶ ἐξαγάγετε τοὺς πέντε βασιλεῖς τούτους ἐκ τοῦ σπηλαίου.
23They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
23καὶ ἐξηγάγοσαν τοὺς πέντε βασιλεῖς ἐκ τοῦ σπηλαίου, τὸν βασιλέα Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Χεβρὼν καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ἱεριμοὺθ καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Λαχὶς καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ὀδολλάμ.
24When they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, “Come near. Put your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came near, and put their feet on their necks.
24καὶ ἐπεὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς πρὸς Ἰησοῦν, καὶ συνεκάλεσεν Ἰησοῦς πάντα Ἰσραήλ, καὶ τοὺς ἐναρχομένους τοῦ πολέμου τοὺς συμπορευομένους αὐτῷ, λέγων αὐτοῖς· προπορεύεσθε καὶ ἐπίθετε τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τοὺς τραχήλους αὐτῶν. καὶ προσελθόντες ἐπέθηκαν τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τοὺς τραχήλους αὐτῶν.
25Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight.”
25καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτούς· μὴ φοβηθῆτε αὐτοὺς μηδὲ δειλιάσητε· ἀνδρίζεσθε καὶ ἰσχύετε, ὅτι οὕτω ποιήσει Κύριος πᾶσι τοῖς ἐχθροῖς ὑμῶν, οὓς ὑμεῖς καταπολεμεῖτε αὐτούς.
26Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
26καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἐκρέμασεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ πέντε ξύλων, καὶ ἦσαν κρεμάμενοι ἐπὶ τῶν ξύλων ἕως ἑσπέρας.
27At the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and threw them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.
27καὶ ἐγενήθη πρὸς ἡλίου δυσμὰς ἐνετείλατο Ἰησοῦς καὶ καθεῖλον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ξύλων καὶ ἔρριψαν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον, εἰς ὃ κατεφύγοσαν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐπεκύλισαν λίθους ἐπὶ τὸ σπήλαιον ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
28Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed it and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
28Καὶ τὴν Μακηδὰ ἐλάβοσαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἐφόνευσαν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσαν πᾶν ἐμπνέον, ὃ ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη οὐδεὶς ἐν αὐτῇ διασεσωσμένος καὶ διαπεφευγώς· καὶ ἐποίησαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Μακηδὰ ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἱεριχώ.
29Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
29καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐκ Μακηδὰ εἰς Λεβνὰ καὶ ἐπολιόρκει Λεβνά.
30The LORD delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
30καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὴν Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὴν καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς καὶ ἐφόνευσαν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους καὶ πᾶν ἐμπνέον ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη ἐν αὐτῇ διασεσωσμένος καὶ διαπεφευγώς· καὶ ἐποίησαν τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῆς ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἱεριχώ.
31Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
31καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐκ Λεβνὰ εἰς Λαχὶς καὶ περιεκάθισεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπολιόρκει αὐτήν.
32The LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
32καὶ παρέδωκε Κύριος τὴν Λαχὶς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ καὶ ἐφόνευσαν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσαν αὐτήν, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τὴν Λεβνά.
33Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him no one remaining.
33τότε ἀνέβη Ἐλὰμ βασιλεὺς Γαζὲρ βοηθήσων τῇ Λαχίς, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν Ἰησοῦς ἐν στόματι ξίφους καὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἕως τοῦ μὴ καταλειφθῆναι αὐτῶν σεσωσμένον καὶ διαπεφευγότα.
34Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it and fought against it.
34καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐκ Λαχὶς εἰς Ὀδολλὰμ καὶ περιεκάθισεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξεπολιόρκησεν αὐτήν.
35They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
35καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὴν Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἐφόνευσεν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους, καὶ πᾶν ἐμπνέον ἐν αὐτῇ ἐφόνευσαν, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τῇ Λαχίς.
36Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
36καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετ' αὐτοῦ εἰς Χεβρὼν καὶ περιεκάθισεν αὐτήν.
37They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.
37καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους καὶ πᾶν τὸ ἐμπνέον, ὅσα ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ, οὐκ ἦν διασεσωσμένος· ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τὴν Ὀδολλάμ, ἐξωλόθρευσαν αὐτὴν καὶ ὅσα ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ.
38Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.
38καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Δαβὶρ καὶ περικαθίσαντες αὐτὴν
39He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.
39ἔλαβον αὐτὴν καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὴν ἐν στόματι ξίφους καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσαν αὐτὴν καὶ πᾶν ἐμπνέον ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ οὐ κατέλιπον αὐτῇ οὐδένα διασεσωσμένον· ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησαν τῇ Χεβρὼν καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῆς, οὕτως ἐποίησαν τῇ Δαβὶρ καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῆς.
40So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, the South, the lowland, the slopes, and all their kings. He left no one remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded.
40καὶ ἐπάταξεν Ἰησοῦς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν τῆς ὀρεινῆς καὶ τὴν Ναγὲβ καὶ τὴν πεδινὴν καὶ τὴν Ἀσηδὼθ καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς αὐτῆς, οὐ κατέλιπον αὐτῶν σεσωσμένον· καὶ πᾶν ἐμπνέον ζωῆς ἐξωλόθρευσεν, ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ,
41Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
41ἀπὸ Κάδης Βαρνῆ ἕως Γάζης, πᾶσαν τὴν Γοσὸμ ἕως τῆς Γαβαών,
42Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
42καὶ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν ἐπάταξεν Ἰησοῦς εἰσάπαξ, ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ συνεπολέμει τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
43Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
