Joshua 9
1 Now on hearing the news of these things, all the kings on the west side of Jordan, in the hill-country and the lowlands and by the Great Sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,
A LOHE na'lii a pau loa ma keia aoao o Ioredane, ma na mauna, a ma na awawa, a makai ma kahi e pili ana i ka moana nui ma ke alo o Lebanona, o ka Heta, a me ka Amora, a me ko Kanaana, a me ka Pereza, a me ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa,
2 Came together with one purpose, to make war against Joshua and Israel.
Alaila, hoakoakoa mai la lakou e kaua lokahi mai ia Iosua, a me ka Iseraela.
3 And the men of Gibeon, hearing what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
A lohe ka poe i noho ma Gibeona i ka mea a Iosua i hana'i ia Ieriko a me Ai,
4 Acting with deceit, got food together as if for a long journey; and took old food-bags for their asses, and old and cracked wine-skins kept together with cord;
Alaila hana maalea iho la lakou, a hele aku la, hoomakaukau iho la i o na lakou; a lawe no hoi lakou i na puolo kahiko ma ko lakou mau hoki, a me na hueili waina kahiko, a ua haehae, a ua pahonoia;
5 And put old stitched-up shoes on their feet, and old clothing on their backs; and all the food they had with them was dry and broken up.
A me na kamaa kahiko, a hawele iho la ma ko lakou kapuwai, a aahu iho la i ka lole kahiko; a o ka berena, ka lakou ai, ua maloo a okaoka.
6 And they came to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: so now make an agreement with us.
A hele mai la lakou io Iosua la, ma kahi a lakou i hoomoana'i ma Gilegala, i mai la ia ia, a me na kanaka o ka Iseraela, Ua hele mai nei makou, mai ka aina loihi mai; no ia mea, e hana kakou i olelo kuikahi.
7 And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, It may be that you are living among us; how then may we make an agreement with you?
I aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela i ka poe Heva, Ke noho nei paha oukou iwaena o makou: pehea la makou e hana'i me oukou i olelo kuikahi?
8 And they said to Joshua, We are your servants. Then Joshua said to them, Who are you and where do you come from?
I mai la lakou ia Iosua, He poe kauwa makou nau. I aku la o Iosua ia lakou, Owai oukou? a mai hea mai oukou i hele mai nei?
9 And they said to him, Your servants have come from a very far country, because of the name of the Lord your God: for the story of his great name, and of all he did in Egypt has come to our ears,
I mai la lakou ia ia, O kau poe kauwa nei, ua hele mai makou, mai ka aina loihi loa mai, no ka inoa o Iehova o kou Akua: no ka mea, ua lohe makou i kona kaulana ana, a me na mea a pau ana i hana'i ma Aigupita,
10 And what he did to the two kings of the Amorites east of Jordan, to Sihon, king of Heshbon, and to Og, king of Bashan, at Ashtaroth.
A me na mea a pau ana i hana aku ai i na'lii elua o ka Amora, mao aku o Ioredane, ia Sihona, ke alii o Hesebona, a me Oga, ke alii o Basana, aia ma Asetarota.
11 So the responsible men and all the people of our country said to us, Take food with you for the journey and go to them, and say to them, We are your servants: so now make an agreement with us.
Nolaila i olelo mai ai ko makou poe lunakahiko, a me ka poe a pau i noho i ko makou aina, i mai la ia makou, E lawe oukou ma ko oukou lima i o na oukou ma ke ala, a e hele e halawai me lakou, a e i aku ia lakou, O ka oukou kauwa makou, e hana kakou i olelo kuikahi.
12 This bread which we have with us for our food, we took warm and new from our houses when starting on our journey to you; but now see, it has become dry and broken up.
O keia berena a makou, o ka makou o noloko mai o ko makou hale, ua hoomakaukau hou ia no makou, i ko makou la i hele mai ai e halawai me oukou, aia hoi, ua maloo, a ua helelei.
13 And these wine-skins were new when we put the wine in them, and now they are cracked as you see; and our clothing and our shoes have become old because of our very long journey here.
O keia mau hueili waina hoi, a makou i ukuhi hou ai, aia, ua nahaehae. A o keia mau aahu o makou, a me ko makou kamaa, ua weluwelu, no ka loihi loa o ke ala.
14 And the men took some of their food, without requesting directions from the Lord.
Lawe no na kanaka i ka lakou ai, aole hoi i ninau aku ma ka waha o Iehova.
15 So Joshua made peace with them, and made an agreement with them that they were not to be put to death: and the chiefs of the people took an oath to them.
Hoomalu aku la o Iosua ia lakou, a hana iho la i olelo kuikahi me lakou, e ola'i lakou; a hoohiki aku la na luna o ka Iseraela ia lakou.
16 Now three days after, when they had made this agreement with them, they had word that these men were their neighbours, living near them.
A mahope iho, i ka pau ana o na la ekolu, mai ka wa mai o ka lakou hana ana i ka olelo kuikahi, alaila lohe o Iosua ma, he kamaaina lakou, a ua noho pu me lakou.
17 And the children of Israel went forward on their journey, and on the third day came to their towns. Now their towns were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.
Hele ae la na mamo a Iseraela, a po akolu hiki i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale. Eia ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, o Gibeona, o Hepira, o Beerota a me Kiriatiarima.
18 And the children of Israel did not put them to death, because the chiefs of the people had taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. And all the people made an outcry against the chiefs.
Aole i pepehi aku na mamo a Iseraela, no ka mea, ua hoohiki ia lakou na luna o ka Iseraela, ma Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela. Ohumu iho la na kanaka a pau i na luna.
19 But all the chiefs said to the people, We have taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, and so we may not put our hands on them.
Aka, olelo mai la na luna a pau i kanaka a pau, Ua hoohiki no makou ia lakou, ma Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela. Nolaila aole pono e hoopa aku kakou ia lakou.
20 This is what we will do to them: we will not put them to death, for fear that wrath may come on us because of our oath to them.
Eia ka kakou e hana aku ai ia lakou. E hoola no kakou ia lakou, o huhuia mai kakou, no ka hoohiki ana a makou i hoohiki ai ia lakou.
21 Keep them living, and let them be servants, cutting wood and getting water for all the people. And all the people did as the chiefs had said to them.
I mai la na luna i ka Iseraela, E ola no lakou, aka, e lilo no lakou i poe kalai laau, a i poe huki wai, no ke anainakanaka a pau, e like me ka na luna i olelo aku ai ia lakou.
22 Then Joshua sent for them, and said to them, Why have you been false to us, saying, We are very far from you, when you are living among us?
Kii aku la o Iosua ia lakou, ninau aku la, me ka i ana aku ia lakou, No ke aha la oukou i nolu mai ai a puni makou, me ka olelo mai, Ua loihi aku makou, mai o oukou aku; a eia hoi oukou, ke noho nei iwaena o makou?
23 Now because of this you are cursed, and you will for ever be our servants, cutting wood and getting water for the house of my God.
No ia mea e poino auanei oukou, aole loa e kuuia kekahi o oukou; e lilo no oukou i poe kauwa, a i poe kalai laau, a i poe huki wai, no ka hale o ko'u Akua.
24 And, answering Joshua, they said, Because it came to the ears of your servants that the Lord your God had given orders to his servant Moses to give you all this land, and to send destruction on all the people living in it, because of you; so, fearing greatly for our lives because of you, we have done this.
Olelo mai lakou ia Iosua, i mai la, No ka hai maopopo ia mai i kau poe kauwa nei, ka mea a Iehova kou Akua i kauoha mai ai i kana kauwa ia Mose, e haawi mai i ka aina a pau no oukou, a e luku hoi i na kanaka a pau o ka aina, imua o oukou; nolaila, i makau loa ai makou i ko makou ola, no oukou, a ua hana hoi i keia mea.
25 And now we are in your hands: do to us whatever seems good and right to you.
Eia hoi makou iloko o kou lima; a o ka mea pono a pololei hoi i kou manao, o kau ia e hana mai ai ia makou.
26 So he kept them safe from the children of Israel, and did not let them be put to death.
A pela no ia i hana aku ai ia lakou, a hoopakele ia lakou, mai ka lima ae o na mamo a Iseraela, i pepehi ole aku lakou.
27 And that day Joshua made them servants, cutting wood and getting water for the people and for the altar of the Lord, in the place marked out by him, to this day.
Ia la, hoolilo iho la o Iosua ia lakou i poe kalai laau, a i poe huki wai no na kanaka, a no ke kuahu o Iehova, ma kahi ana i makemake ai, pela no, a hiki loa mai i neia la.
