WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Cuando Adonisédec, rey de Jerusalén, oyó que Josué había capturado y destruido a Hai, y que había dado muerte a su rey de la misma manera que había hecho en Jericó, y supo que con una estratagema Gabaón había hecho paz con Israel y ahora eran aliados,
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 tuvo miedo, porque Gabaón era una gran ciudad, tan grande como las ciudades reales y mucho más grande que Hai, y sus hombres eran conocidos como valientes.
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 Entonces Adonisédec envió mensajeros a los siguientes reyes: Hohán rey de Hebrón, Pirán rey de Jarmut, Jafía rey de Laquis y Debir rey de Eglón. Les dijo:
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 «Vengan y ayúdenme a destruir a Gabaón, porque ellos han hecho alianza con Josué y el pueblo 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 Los cinco reyes amorreos unieron sus ejércitos para atacar juntos a Gabaón.
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 Al saberlo los hombres de Gabaón enviaron un mensaje urgente a Josué que estaba en Guilgal: «Ven y ayuda a tus siervos. Ven rápidamente y sálvanos. Todos los reyes que viven en las montañas están aquí con sus ejércitos».
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 Entonces Josué y la gente de guerra marcharon desde Guilgal en auxilio de Gabaón.
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and the whole army with him, including all the mighty men of valor.
8 «No temas delante de ellos —le dijo el Señor a Josué—, porque ya están derrotados. Los he entregado en tus manos para que los destruyas. Ninguno de ellos podrá hacerte frente».
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 Viajaron, pues, toda la noche desde Guilgal y atacaron al enemigo por sorpresa.
9 Joshua therefore came to them suddenly. He marched from Gilgal all night.
10 El Señor hizo cundir el pánico entre ellos, y los israelitas hicieron una gran matanza en Gabaón y los persiguió hasta Bet Jorón, Azeca y Maquedá, dándoles muerte a lo largo del camino.
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 Además, mientras el enemigo huía hacia Bet Jorón, el Señor les lanzó una lluvia de granizo que los siguió hasta Azeca. Murieron más hombres a causa del granizo que por las espadas de los israelitas.
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 Mientras los hombres de Israel estaban persiguiendo y arrasando al enemigo, Josué ordenó: «Sol, deténte sobre Gabaón y, luna, permanece quieta en el valle de Ayalón».
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 Y el sol y la luna no se movieron hasta que los israelitas acabaron de destruir a sus enemigos. Esto está escrito con gran detalle en el libro de Jaser. El sol se detuvo en los cielos y permaneció quieto casi veinticuatro horas.
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 había ocurrido antes ni jamás ha vuelto a ocurrir, que el Señor haya detenido el sol y la luna en respuesta a la voz de un hombre. El Señor estaba peleando 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 todos los israelitas regresaron a Guilgal.
15 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
16 Durante la batalla los cinco reyes escaparon y se escondieron en una caverna en Maquedá.
16 These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
17 Cuando le llevaron a Josué la noticia de que habían sido encontrados,
17 Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
18 ordenó que se pusiera una gran piedra contra la entrada de la cueva y que se pusiera guardia para que los reyes no escaparan.
18 Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;
19 Luego ordenó al resto de los hombres: «Vayan en persecución del enemigo y atáquenlo por la retaguardia. No permitan que regresen a sus ciudades, porque el Señor nos ayudará a destruirlos completamente».
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 hombres de Israel siguieron la matanza y exterminaron a los cinco ejércitos, salvo un pequeño grupo que logró llegar a sus 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 Los israelitas regresaron al campamento en Maquedá sin haber perdido un solo hombre. Después de esto, nadie se atrevió a atacar a 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 ordenó a sus hombres que quitaran la piedra de la entrada de la cueva y sacaran a los cinco reyes, que eran los de Jerusalén, Hebrón, Jarmut, Laquis, y Eglón.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”
23 Not in this translation
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 Josué les dijo a los capitanes que pusieran sus pies sobre el cuello de los reyes.
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 «No teman ni desmayen —dijo Josué a sus hombres—. Sean fuertes y valientes, porque el Señor hará esto con todos nuestros enemigos».
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 Dicho esto, clavó su espada en cada uno de los reyes y los mató. Luego los colgó en cinco árboles 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 Cuando el sol se estaba ocultando, dio órdenes de que bajaran los cuerpos y los arrojaran en la cueva donde habían estado escondidos. Luego pusieron un gran montón de piedras sobre la entrada de la cueva. El montón aún está en ese lugar.
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 destruyó la ciudad de Maquedá y mató a su rey y a todos los que vivían en ella. Ninguna persona de la ciudad quedó viva. Al igual que en 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 Luego los israelitas fueron a Libná.
29 Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
30 Allí también el Señor les entregó la ciudad y a su rey. Los mataron a todos, al igual que en 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 De Libná marcharon hacia Laquis 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 se la entregó en el segundo día. Allí también mataron a toda la población, de la misma manera que lo habían hecho en Libná.
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 Durante el ataque a Laquis, Horán rey de Guézer, llegó con su ejército para tratar de ayudar en la defensa de la ciudad, pero la gente de Josué destruyó a todo su pueblo.
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 Tomaron la ciudad de Eglón aquel mismo día y, al igual que en Laquis, dieron muerte a todos los que vivían en la ciudad.
34 Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it and fought against it.
35 Not in this translation
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 Dejando Eglón, marcharon hacia Hebrón
36 Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
37 y la capturaron con todos los pueblos vecinos, y dieron muerte a toda la población. Ni una sola persona quedó con vida.
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 Luego regresaron a Debir,
38 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.
39 a la cual capturaron rápidamente con todos los pueblos cercanos. Y allí también dieron muerte a todos como lo habían hecho en Libná y en Hebrón.
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 Josué conquistó toda la tierra: la región montañosa, las tierras bajas, y a todos sus reyes. Los destruyeron a todos como el Señor Dios les 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 dándoles muerte desde Cades Barnea a Gaza y desde Gosén a Gabaón.
41 Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
42 Todo esto fue hecho en una sola campaña, porque el Señor Dios de Israel estaba peleando por su pueblo.
42 Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
43 Entonces Josué y todo Israel regresaron a su campamento en Guilgal.
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.
