Yosiua 9
1 Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi hina bagade dunu huluane da Isala: ili dunu ilia gasa bagade hasalasu hou nabi dagoi. Amo hou ilia da goumi soge ganodini, umi soge Medidela: inia Wayabo Bagade bega: amola soge gano asili Lebanone sogega doaga: i, amo esalebe dunu huluane da Isala: ili dunu ilia hou nabi. Amo hina bagade dunu ilia fi da Hidaide, A:moulaide, Ga: ina: naide, Belesaide, Haifaide amola Yebiusaide.
And when the kings of the Amorites on the other side of Jordan, who were in the mountain country, and in the plain, and in all the coast of the great sea, and those who were near Antilibanus, and the Chettites, and the Chananites, and the Pherezites, and the Evites, and the Amorites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites, heard [of it],
2 Amo hina bagade dunu da gilisili, Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu ilima gegemusa: gilisi.
they came all together at the same time to make war against Joshua and Israel.
3 Be Gibionaide dunu (ilia da Haifaide fi dunu) ilia da Yosiua ea hou amo Yeligou amola A: iai amoma hamoi nababeba: le,
And the inhabitants of Gabaon heard of all that the Lord did to Jericho and Gai.
4 ilia da Yosiuama ogogomusa: dawa: i galu. Ilia da ha: i manu lale, ilia dougi da: iya esa wadela: lesi dagoi amola waini gadofo gadelale nodomei ligisi.
And they also wrought craftily, and they went and made provision and prepared themselves; and having taken old sacks on their shoulders, and old and rent and patched bottles of wine,
5 Ilia da abula wadela: i amola hea emo salasu wadela: iba: le nodomei gasisali.
and the upper part of their shoes and their sandals old and clouted on their feet, and their garments old upon them—and the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy and corrupt.
6 Amalalu, ilia da Isala: ili abula diasu gilisisu Giliga: le amoga gala amoga asili, Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Ninia da soge sedagaga misi. Ninia da dilima gousa: su hamomu galebe.”
And they came to Joshua into the camp of Israel to Galgala, and said to Joshua and Israel, We are come from a far land: now then make a covenant with us.
7 Be Isala: ili dunu da amane sia: i, “Ninia da dilima gousa: su abuliga hamoma: bela: ? Amabela: ? Dilia da gadenene esalabala?”
And the children of Israel said to the Chorrhaean, Peradventure thou dwellest amongst us; and how should I make a covenant with thee?
8 Ilia da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Ninia da dia hawa: hamosu dunu esala.” Yosiua da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da nowala: ? Dilia da habidili misibala: ?”
And they said to Joshua, We are thy servants: and Joshua said to them, Whence are ye, and whence have ye come?
9 Amalalu, ilia da amo sia: ema olelei, “Ninia da dilia Hina Gode Ea hou nababeba: le, soge sedade amoga misi dagoi. Ninia da Ea hou Idibidi soge ganodini hamoi,
And they said, Thy servants are come from a very far country in the name of the Lord thy God: for we have heard his name, and all that he did in Egypt,
10 amola E da A: moulaide hina bagade aduna Yodane Hano eso mabadi la: idiga esalu (amo da Hesiabone hina bagade amo ea dio Saihone amola Ba: isia: ne hina bagade Asiadalode moilai bai bagadega esalu amo ea dio Oge) Hina Gode da elama hamoi, amo ninia nabi.
and all that he did to the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, who dwelt in Astaroth and in Edrain.
11 Ninia ouligisu dunu amola fi dunu huluane ninia soge ganodini esala da nini ha: i manu momagele, dima gousa: musa: masa: ne sia: i. Ilia da nini da dima hawa: hamomusa: sia: ne, dilima gousa: su hamoma: ne sia: i.
And our elders and all that inhabit our land when they heard spoke to us, saying, Take to yourselves provision for the way, and go to meet them; and ye shall say to them, We are thy servants, and now make a covenant with us.
12 Ninia agi ga: gi ba: ma! Ninia da dilima gousa: musa: nini soge fisili, amo agi ga: gi da gugumi ba: i. Ba: ma! Wali amo da hafoga: i amola moloba: fi dagoi.
These [are] the loaves—we took them hot for our journey on the day on which we came out to come to you; and now they are dried and become mouldy.
13 Ninia da waini amo waini gadofo ganodini sogasalaloba, waini gadofo da gaheabolo ba: i. Be wali ilia da gadelai. Ninia sedagaga misiba: le ninia abula amola emo salasu da hea hamoi dagoi.”
And these [are] the skins of wine which we filled when new, and they are rent; and our garments and our shoes are worn out because of the very long journey.
14 Isala: ili dunu da ilima ha: i manu lai, be ilia hou dawa: ma: ne Hina Godema hame adole ba: i.
And the chiefs took of their provision, and asked not [counsel of] the Lord.
15 Yosiua da hahawane gousa: su ilima hamoi amola amo dunu hame medole legei. Isala: ili ouligisu dunu da dafawane amo gousa: su hame fisima: ne ilegele sia: i.
And Joshua made peace with them, and they made a covenant with them to preserve them; and the princes of the congregation sware to them.
16 Be eso udiana asili, Isala: ili dunu da Gibionaide dunu da gadenene fi amo nabi dagoi.
And it came to pass three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were near neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
17 Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da asili, eso udiana asili ilia esalebe moilale bai bagadega doaga: i. Amo moilale gagai bai bagade ilia dio da Gibione, Gifaila, Bialode amola Gilia: de Yialimi.
And the children of Israel departed and came to their cities; and their cities [were] Gabaon, and Kephira, and Berot, and the cities of Jarin.
18 Be Isala: ili ouligisu dunu da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le amo dunu hame medomu ilegele sia: i dagoiba: le, ilia da amo dunu medole legemu hamedei ba: i. Isala: ili dunu huluane da ilia ouligisu dunuma sia: ga gegei.
Land the children of Israel fought not with them, because all the princes sware to them by the Lord God of Israel; and all the congregation murmured at the princes.
19 Be Isala: ili ouligisu dunu da bu adole i, “Ninia da Isala: ili Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le amo dunuma sia: i dagoiba: le, ninia da ilima se imunu hamedei.
And the princes said to all the congregation: We have sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel, and now we shall not be able to touch them.
20 Ninia sia: i dagoiba: le, amo dunu hame medole legemu. Amai hame galea, Gode da ninima se imunu.
This we will do; take them alive, and we will preserve them: so there shall not be wrath against us by reason of the oath which we swore to them.
21 Ilia da esalumu da defea. Be ilia da ninia lalu habei amola hano nasu gaguli misunu.”
They shall live, and shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes said to them.
22 Yosiua da Isala: ili dunuma ilia da Gibionaide dunu ema oule misa: ne sia: i. E da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da abuliba: le ninima ogogobela: ? Dilia gadenene esalebeba: le, abuliba: le sedagaga esala sia: bela: ?
And Joshua called them together and said to them, Why have ye deceived me, saying, We live very far from you; whereas ye are fellow-countrymen of those who dwell among us?
23 Dilia da agoane hamoiba: le, Gode da dilima ougi, se imunu. Dilia fi da mae fisili, eso huluane udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalumu. Dilia da na Gode Ea modale ligiagai diasuga lalu habele amola hano dili gaguli misunu.
And now ye are cursed: there shall not fail of you a slave, or a hewer of wood, or a drawer of water to me and my God.
24 Ilia da bu adole i, “Ninia da sia: amo dilia Hina Gode da Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese ema soge huluane lama amola amo ganodini fi dunu huluane medole legema sia: i dagoi, amo nababeba: le ninia da agoane hamoi. Ninia da dilima bagade beda: iba: le amola nini da bogosa: besa: le amo ogogosu hamoi.
And they answered Joshua, saying, It was reported to us what the Lord thy God charged his servant Moses, to give you this land, and to destroy us and all that dwelt on it from before you; and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and [therefore] we did this thing.
25 Be wali ninia da dia lobo ganodini gagui gala. Dia asigi dawa: su defele ninima hamoma.”
And now, behold, we [are] in your power; do to us as it is pleasing to you, and as it seems [good] to you.
26 Amaiba: le Yosiua da agoane hamoi. E da Gibionaide dunu gaga: i amola Isala: ili dunuma amo mae medoma: ne sia: i.
And they did so to them; and Joshua rescued them in that day out of the hands of the children of Israel, and they did not slay them.
27 Be e da ili da udigili hawa: hamoma: ne sia: i. Ilia da Isala: ili dunuma amola Hina Gode Ea oloda amoga lalu habele, amola hano dili gaguli misi. Amola mae fisili hamonanu, ilia da wali eso amola Hina Godema nodomusa: sogebi E da ilegei, amoga ilia da amo udigili hawa: hamonana.
And Joshua made them in that day hewers of wood and drawers of water to the whole congregation, and for the altar of God: therefore the inhabitants of Gabaon became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the altar of God until this day, even for the place which the Lord should choose.
