“ When your people go to war against their enemies, wherever you send them, and when they pray to the Lord toward the city you have chosen and the temple I have built for your Name,

“ Suppose your people go to war against their enemies. It doesn’t matter where you send them. And suppose they pray to you toward the city you have chosen. They pray toward the temple I’ve built for your Name.

“ If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the Lord toward the city that you have chosen and the house that I have built for your name,

“ If your people go out where you send them to fight their enemies, and if they pray to the Lord by turning toward this city you have chosen and toward this Temple I have built to honor your name,

When your people go out to fight against their enemies, wherever you send them, and they pray to the LORD in the direction of the city you have chosen and the temple I have built for your name,

“ When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way You send them, and they pray to the Lord toward the city which You have chosen and the house which I have built for Your name,

“ When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the Lord toward the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name,

If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatsoever way thou shalt send them, and they pray unto Jehovah toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name;

When Your people go out to fight against their enemies, wherever You send them, and they pray to Yahweh in the direction of the city You have chosen and the temple I have built for Your name,

If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and[ toward] the house that I have built for thy name:

“ When you direct your people to march out and fight their enemies, and they direct their prayers to the LORD toward his chosen city and this temple I built for your honor,

“ If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Yahweh toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;

約書亞既沒、以色列族問於耶和華曰、孰可先往、代我攻迦南人。耶和華曰猶大族可往、我以是地付於其手。

如爾國民、奉爾所遣、無論何適、與敵戰鬥時、祈禱於爾、向爾所簡之邑、及我所建之殿、為籲爾名之所、

大闢問耶和華曰、欲追其軍、可乎。追可及乎。曰、追之必及、諸物悉獲。

耶和華諭摩西曰、汝為以色列族報仇、罰米田人、而後返本。摩西告民曰、汝必備戰、攻擊米田人、使耶和華怨米田人之憤可洩。於以色列族中、各簡一千人備戰。於是以色列族中臨陳者各支派一千人、總計一萬二千、預備以戰。摩西遣之、又遣祭司以利亞撒子非尼哈執聖器、吹號角、與米田人戰、遵耶和華諭摩西之命、殺其丁男、更殺米田五王、以未、哩金、蘇耳、戶耳、哩巴、及庇耳、子巴蘭、均殲以刃。以色列人奪其妻孥、攘其牛羊、掠其貨財、城垣閭里、燬之以火、貨財什物、刧之以歸、以所得之人與物、攜之至摩押平原、約但河濱、耶利哥相嚮、建營之所、見摩西及祭司以利亞撒、與以色列會眾。

車騎之長見約沙法、則曰、彼以色列王也。遂環而攻之。約沙法大聲而呼、耶和華上帝祐之、敵乃去、

耶和華眷顧之曰、今遣爾往、爾必有能、將拯以色列族脫於米田人之手、爾其往哉。

我僕摩西逝世、爾今導民濟約但、至我所賜以色列族之地。昔我與摩西曾有是言、今必踐之、爾足所履之地、必以錫爾、自曠野及利巴嫩、至百辣大河、赫人遍地、爰及大海、日入之處、為爾境界。昔我佑摩西、今亦佑爾、不汝遐棄、俾爾畢生、無人能禦。

不選約瑟之後、不擇以法蓮支派兮、乃簡猶大一族、愛斯郇山、爰建聖室、與天同高、與地同久兮、

禱曰、我列祖之上帝耶和華、穹蒼之上帝、萬國之主宰、爾有能力、莫之敢禦。昔有人居斯土、上帝啟以色列族而驅之、亞伯拉罕為上帝所眷顧、遂以斯土錫其苗裔、俾為恆業。今以色列族居此、建聖室、為籲爾名之所、自謂如遇災害、或興戎、或譴責、或瘟疫、或飢饉、我至斯殿、以籲爾名、立於爾前、求爾去禍、爾必垂聽援我。昔以色列族、出埃及時、謹守爾命、過亞捫摩押、西耳之地、不侵伐之、不翦滅之、今彼以惡報我、欲行驅逐、出爾所錫之地。願上帝為我一洒之、彼眾我實不能禦、如何則可、惟爾是望。猶大族眾、與其妻孥、侍立耶和華前。

大闢詢耶和華、耶和華曰、爾勿往前、宜襲其後、在桑林相對之所。

希西家王亞麼士子先知以賽亞、呼天祈禱。

所許之言曰、自耶和華導以色列民、出埃及以來、迄於今日、未嘗於以色列支派中、遴選一邑、使人建殿、為籲名之所、惟簡大闢、治理我民。

維我遴選郇邑、為我居處兮、此我駐蹕之所、我所欣喜、永世弗替兮。

耶和華諭約書亞曰、我以耶利哥及王、與勁旅、悉畀於爾。惟爾武士、環攻其城、日恆一巡、周行其外、歷至六日、祭司七人、以角七、行於法匱前、越至七日、巡城凡七、祭司吹角、其聲清越、爾聞之、使民號呼、城垣傾圮、民得直進。

爾與敵戰見車馬人民、較己尤眾、則毋畏懼、蓋爾上帝耶和華昔導爾出埃及、必輔翼爾。臨陳之時、祭司必至民前、告之曰、以色列族、尚聽之哉、爾今日攻敵臨戰、毋怯心、毋畏葸、毋恐懼、毋震驚、蓋爾上帝耶和華佑爾、為爾攻敵、以拯爾曹。

古實人西喇率軍百萬、車三百乘、至馬哩沙、攻猶大族。亞撒至馬哩沙、於西法大谷、陳列行伍、籲上帝耶和華曰、爾欲援我、民之多寡、力之強弱、無不可以之克敵、我之上帝耶和華歟、求爾助我、蓋我賴爾名、禦斯有眾、願上帝耶和華、毋許人勝爾。耶和華擊古實人、使為亞撒猶大族所敗、而遁。

當耶和華遣爾之時、曾告爾曰、亞馬力族俱干罪戾、汝往攻之、必盡殄滅。

彼自納大利基特、召亞庇娜暗子巴勒至、謂之曰、以色列族上帝耶和華諭云、爾取納大利西布倫、二族萬人、適大泊山、

耶和華諭約書亞曰、毋恐懼、毋畏葸、率眾武士、往擊埃邑、我以其王與民、爰及邑郊、悉付與爾。昔爾待耶利哥與其王、今之待埃與其王、亦必若是。惟其貨財牲畜、為爾所得、當伏兵於邑後。

惟爾之上帝耶和華、為爾先導、使約書亞導爾濟河、殲滅此異邦族姓、據有其地、循耶和華言。昔耶和華罰亞摩哩王西宏及噩、殲滅其國、今之降罰於約但西也、亦必如是、使爾罰之、悉循我命。

大闢問耶和華曰、非利士人我當往攻之乎、爾其以彼付我手乎。耶和華曰、往哉、我必付於爾手。

今可攻之、殲滅所有、毋加矜恤、男女、童稚、嬰孩、牛羊駝驢、悉當殺戮。

我上帝之聖所荒蕪、求爾垂顧、以彰主榮、應僕所祈、我之上帝與、我儕祈禱、非為我義、乃為爾仁慈、求爾垂聽斯邑、為籲爾名之所、今已荒圯、爾其鑒察焉、斯邑斯民、皆屬上帝、望主垂聽、望主赦宥、望主助余勿緩、以彰爾榮、
