Homilies on Joshua, Homilia XI
Southern kings subdued§1
1Southern kings fall under Jesus’ lead — Adoni-zedek and his allies. The whole south enters the lot. Figure: southern passions — anger and lust — are laid low under Christ.
Latin · §1
Reges austro subiguntur Iesu duce — Adonisedec et socii. Omnis terra meridiana in sortem venit. Figura: vitia austri ardoris — ira libido — sub Christo prosternuntur.
No survivor left breathing§2
2He left no survivor — complete victory. In us let no evil thought draw breath. Rest follows finished wars.
Latin · §2
Non reliquit superstitem — perfecta victoria. In nobis ne respiret cogitatio mala. Requies post bella completa.
Return to Gilgal§3
3Jesus returned to Gilgal with all Israel — to circumcision’s and Passover’s place. After victories return to the sacraments. Glory. Amen.
Latin · §3
Reversus est Iesus in Galgala cum omni Israel — ad locum circumcisionis et paschae. Post victorias redeundum ad sacramenta. Gloria. Amen.
