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.
Then all the kings who lived beyond the Jordan in the hill country, and in the lowlands along the shore of the Great Sea toward Lebanon—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and the Jebusites—
2 Amo hina bagade dunu da gilisili, Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu ilima gegemusa: gilisi.
these joined together under one command, to wage 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,
When the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to 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 acted with a cunning plan. They went as messengers. They took worn-out sacks and put them on their donkeys. They also took old wineskins that were worn, torn, and had been repaired.
5 Ilia da abula wadela: i amola hea emo salasu wadela: iba: le nodomei gasisali.
They put old and patched sandals on their feet, and dressed in old, worn-out clothing. All the bread in their food supply was dry and moldy.
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.”
Then they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have traveled from a very far country, so now 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?”
The men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you live near us. How can 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: ?”
They said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Joshua said to them, “Who are you? Where did you come from?”
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,
They said to him, “Your servants have come here from a land very far away, because of the name of Yahweh your God. We have heard a report about him and about everything 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 everything that he did to the two kings of the Amorites on the other side of 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.
Our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, 'Take provisions in your hand for the journey. Go to meet them and say to them, “We are your servants. Make a treaty 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 is our bread, it was still warm when we took it from our houses on the day we set out to come to you. But now, see, it is dry and moldy.
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.”
These wineskins were new when we filled them, and look, now they are leaking. Our garments and our sandals are worn-out from a 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.
So the Israelites took some of their provisions, but they did not consult with Yahweh for guidance.
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.
Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live. The leaders of the people also made a vow to them.
16 Be eso udiana asili, Isala: ili dunu da Gibionaide dunu da gadenene fi amo nabi dagoi.
Three days after the Israelites made this covenant with them, they learned that they were their neighbors and that they lived nearby.
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.
Then the people of Israel set out and came to their cities on the third day. Their cities were Gibeon, Kephirah, 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.
The people of Israel did not attack them because their leaders had taken an oath about them before Yahweh, the God of Israel. All the Israelites were grumbling against their leaders.
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 leaders said to all the people, “We have taken an oath concerning them by Yahweh, the God of Israel, and now we cannot harm them.
20 Ninia sia: i dagoiba: le, amo dunu hame medole legemu. Amai hame galea, Gode da ninima se imunu.
This is what we will do to them: To avoid any wrath that may come on us because of the oath we swore to them, we will let them live.”
21 Ilia da esalumu da defea. Be ilia da ninia lalu habei amola hano nasu gaguli misunu.”
The leaders said to their people, “Let them live.” So, the Gibeonites became cutters of wood and drawers of water for all the Israelites, just as the leaders said about 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: ?
Joshua called for them and said, “Why did you deceive us when you said, 'We are very far from you', when you live right here 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, because of this, you are cursed and some of you will always be slaves, those who cut wood and draw 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.
They answered Joshua and said, “Because it was told to your servants that Yahweh your God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you—so we were very afraid for our lives because of you. That is why we did this thing.
25 Be wali ninia da dia lobo ganodini gagui gala. Dia asigi dawa: su defele ninima hamoma.”
Now, look, you hold us in your power. Whatever seems good and right for you to do to us, do it.”
26 Amaiba: le Yosiua da agoane hamoi. E da Gibionaide dunu gaga: i amola Isala: ili dunuma amo mae medoma: ne sia: i.
So Joshua did this for them: He delivered them out of the control of the people of Israel, so that the Israelites did not kill 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.
That day Joshua made the Gibeonites cutters of wood and drawers of water for the community, and for the altar of Yahweh, to this day, in the place that Yahweh chooses.
