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 it came to pass, when all the kings that were beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the Lowland, and on all the shore of the Great Sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof,
2 Amo hina bagade dunu da gilisili, Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu ilima gegemusa: gilisi.
that they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
3 Be Gibionaide dunu (ilia da Haifaide fi dunu) ilia da Yosiua ea hou amo Yeligou amola A: iai amoma hamoi nababeba: le,
But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
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.
they also did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine skins, worn and rent and patched up;
5 Ilia da abula wadela: i amola hea emo salasu wadela: iba: le nodomei gasisali.
and worn shoes and clouted upon their feet, and worn garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and was become crumbs.
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 went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel: 'We are come from a far country; now therefore make ye 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 men of Israel said unto the Hivites: 'Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a covenant with you?'
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 unto Joshua: 'We are thy servants.' And Joshua said unto them: 'Who are ye? and from whence come ye?'
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 unto him: 'From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God; for we have heard the fame of Him, 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 two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
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 the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying: Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them: We are your servants; and now make ye 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.
This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become crumbs.
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 wine-skins, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they are rent. And these our garments and our shoes are worn by reason 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 men took of their provision, and asked not counsel at the mouth 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 made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore unto them.
16 Be eso udiana asili, Isala: ili dunu da Gibionaide dunu da gadenene fi amo nabi dagoi.
And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their 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 journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
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.
And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against 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.
But all the princes said unto all the congregation: 'We have sworn unto them by the LORD, the God of Israel; now therefore we may not 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 to them, and let them live; lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore unto them.'
21 Ilia da esalumu da defea. Be ilia da ninia lalu habei amola hano nasu gaguli misunu.”
And the princes said concerning them: 'Let them live'; so they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken concerning 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 for them, and he spoke unto them, saying: 'Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying: We are very far from you, when ye 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.
Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall never fail to be of you bondmen, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of 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, and said: 'Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and have done 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 thy hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.'
26 Amaiba: le Yosiua da agoane hamoi. E da Gibionaide dunu gaga: i amola Isala: ili dunuma amo mae medoma: ne sia: i.
And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
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 that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, unto this day, in the place which He should choose.
