12.當耶和華將亞摩利人交付以色列人的日子,約書亞就禱告耶和華,在以色列人眼前說:「日頭啊,你要停在基遍;月亮啊,你要止在亞雅崙谷。」
On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: 「Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.」
13.於是日頭停留,月亮止住,直等國民向敵人報仇。這事豈不是寫在雅煞珥書上嗎?日頭在天當中停住,不急速下落,約有一日之久。
So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on[b] its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.

14.在這日以前,這日以後,耶和華聽人的禱告沒有像這日的,是因耶和華為以色列爭戰。
There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a human being. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel!
15.約書亞和以色列眾人回到吉甲的營中。
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
