1 Adonisedec, rey de Jerusalén, oyó que Josué había tomado Hai y la había destruido por completo, haciendo con Hai y su rey lo mismo que había hecho con Jericó y su rey. También oyó que los habitantes de Gabaón habían hecho la paz con Israel y vivían entre ellos.
1 Now 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,
2 Entonces tuvo mucho miedo, porque Gabaón era una ciudad importante, como una de las ciudades reales. Era más grande que Hai, y todos sus hombres eran guerreros.
2 they 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.
3 Por eso Adonisedec, rey de Jerusalén, envió este mensaje a Hoham, rey de Hebrón; a Piram, rey de Jarmut; a Jafía, rey de Laquis; y a Debir, rey de Eglón:
3 Therefore 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,
4 «Suban y ayúdenme a atacar Gabaón, porque ha hecho la paz con Josué y con los hijos de Israel».
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.”
5 Entonces los cinco reyes amorreos —los reyes de Jerusalén, Hebrón, Jarmut, Laquis y Eglón— unieron sus ejércitos, acamparon frente a Gabaón y la atacaron.
5 Therefore 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.
6 Los hombres de Gabaón enviaron este mensaje a Josué al campamento de Gilgal: «No abandones a tus siervos. Ven rápido, ayúdanos y sálvanos, porque todos los reyes amorreos de la región montañosa se han unido contra nosotros».
6 The 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.”
7 Josué subió desde Gilgal con todo su ejército y todos sus mejores hombres de guerra.
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and the whole army with him, including all the mighty men of valor.
8 El Señor dijo a Josué: «No les tengas miedo, porque los he entregado en tus manos. Ninguno de ellos podrá resistirte».
8 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you.”
9 Después de marchar toda la noche desde Gilgal, Josué los atacó por sorpresa.
9 Joshua therefore came to them suddenly. He marched from Gilgal all night.
10 El Señor los llenó de confusión delante de Israel. Los israelitas mataron a muchos de ellos en Gabaón y los persiguieron por el camino que sube a Bet-horón, derrotándolos hasta Azeca y Maceda.
10 Yahweh 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.
11 Mientras huían de Israel por la bajada de Bet-horón hacia Azeca, el Señor hizo caer sobre ellos grandes piedras desde el cielo. Murieron más por las piedras que por la espada de los hijos de Israel.
11 As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, Yahweh 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.
12 Aquel día, cuando el Señor entregó a los amorreos en manos de los hijos de Israel, Josué habló al Señor delante de Israel y dijo: «Sol, detente sobre Gabaón; y tú, luna, sobre el valle de Ajalón».
12 Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh 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!”
13 El sol se detuvo y la luna quedó inmóvil hasta que la nación castigó a sus enemigos. ¿No está esto escrito en el libro de Jaser? El sol se detuvo en medio del cielo y demoró casi un día entero en ponerse.
13 The 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.
14 Nunca hubo un día como aquel, ni antes ni después, cuando el Señor escuchó así la voz de un hombre. El Señor mismo luchaba por Israel.
14 There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.
15 Después Josué y todo Israel regresaron al campamento de Gilgal.
15 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
16 Los cinco reyes habían huido y se habían escondido en una cueva en Maceda.
16 These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Cuando informaron a Josué que habían encontrado a los cinco reyes escondidos en la cueva de Maceda,
17 Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
18 él dijo: «Hagan rodar grandes piedras hasta la entrada de la cueva y pongan hombres allí para vigilarlos.
18 Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;
19 Pero ustedes no se detengan. Persigan al ejército enemigo y atáquenlo por detrás. No permitan que entren en sus ciudades, porque el Señor su Dios los ha entregado en sus manos».
19 but don’t stay there. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.”
20 Josué y los hijos de Israel causaron una gran derrota y destruyeron casi por completo a sus enemigos. Solo unos pocos lograron entrar en las ciudades fortificadas.
20 When 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,
21 Entonces todo el pueblo regresó sano y salvo con Josué al campamento de Maceda. Nadie se atrevió a hablar contra los hijos de Israel.
21 all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
22 Josué dijo: «Quiten las piedras de la entrada de la cueva y tráiganme a esos cinco reyes».
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”
23 Así lo hicieron. Sacaron de la cueva a los cinco reyes: el rey de Jerusalén, el rey de Hebrón, el rey de Jarmut, el rey de Laquis y el rey de Eglón.
23 They 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.
24 Cuando llevaron los reyes ante Josué, él llamó a todos los hombres de Israel y dijo a los jefes de los guerreros que habían ido con él: «Acérquense y pongan sus pies sobre el cuello de estos reyes». Ellos se acercaron y pusieron los pies sobre sus cuellos.
24 When 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.
25 Josué les dijo: «No tengan miedo ni se desanimen. Sean fuertes y valientes, porque así hará el Señor con todos los enemigos contra quienes ustedes luchen».
25 Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for Yahweh will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight.”
26 Después Josué hizo matar a los cinco reyes y los colgó en cinco árboles. Allí quedaron colgados hasta la tarde.
26 Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
27 Al ponerse el sol, por orden de Josué bajaron los cuerpos de los árboles y los arrojaron a la cueva donde se habían escondido. Luego pusieron grandes piedras a la entrada de la cueva, y allí permanecen hasta hoy.
27 At 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.
28 Aquel mismo día Josué tomó Maceda. Mató a espada a su rey y a todos sus habitantes, sin dejar a nadie con vida. Destruyó por completo la ciudad e hizo con su rey lo mismo que había hecho con el rey de Jericó.
28 Joshua 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.
29 Después Josué y todo Israel pasaron de Maceda a Libna y la atacaron.
29 Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
30 El Señor también entregó a Libna y a su rey en manos de Israel. Josué mató a espada a todos sus habitantes, sin dejar a nadie con vida, e hizo con su rey lo mismo que había hecho con el rey de Jericó.
30 Yahweh 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.
31 Luego Josué y todo Israel pasaron de Libna a Laquis. Acamparon frente a ella y la atacaron.
31 Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
32 El Señor entregó Laquis en manos de Israel. Josué la tomó al segundo día y mató a espada a todos sus habitantes, como había hecho con Libna.
32 Yahweh 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.
33 Entonces Horam, rey de Gezer, subió para ayudar a Laquis, pero Josué lo derrotó junto con su ejército y no dejó a ninguno con vida.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him no one remaining.
34 Después Josué y todo Israel pasaron de Laquis a Eglón. Acamparon frente a ella y la atacaron.
34 Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it and fought against it.
35 La tomaron aquel mismo día y mataron a espada a todos sus habitantes, destruyéndolos por completo, como habían hecho con Laquis.
35 They 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.
36 Luego Josué y todo Israel subieron de Eglón a Hebrón y la atacaron.
36 Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
37 La tomaron y mataron a espada a su rey, a todos los habitantes de sus ciudades y a todos los que vivían allí. No dejaron a nadie con vida. Destruyeron por completo Hebrón, como habían hecho con Eglón.
37 They 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.
38 Después Josué y todo Israel se dirigieron a Debir y la atacaron.
38 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.
39 La tomaron junto con su rey y todas sus ciudades. Mataron a espada a todos sus habitantes y los destruyeron por completo, sin dejar a nadie con vida. Josué hizo con Debir y su rey lo mismo que había hecho con Hebrón y su rey.
39 He 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.
40 Así Josué conquistó toda la región: la zona montañosa, el sur, las llanuras y las laderas, junto con todos sus reyes. No dejó a nadie con vida, sino que destruyó por completo a todo ser viviente, tal como el Señor, Dios de Israel, había ordenado.
40 So 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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded.
41 Josué los derrotó desde Cades-barnea hasta Gaza, y desde toda la tierra de Gosén hasta Gabaón.
41 Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
42 Josué tomó a todos estos reyes y sus tierras en una sola campaña, porque el Señor, Dios de Israel, luchaba por Israel.
42 Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
43 Después Josué y todo Israel regresaron al campamento de Gilgal.
43 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The ephod and the breastplate, and other sacerdotal vestments, were formed out of five materials; for they combined in themselves gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. And there were five kings of the Amorites, whom Joshua the son of Nun shut up in a cave, and directed the people to trample upon their heads.
