Joshua 9
1 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],
Un kad to dzirdēja visi ķēniņi, kas viņpus Jardānes bija, kalnos un ielejās un gar visu lielās jūras malu, Lībanum pretī, Hetieši un Amorieši, Ferezieši, Hivieši un Jebusieši,
2 they came all together at the same time to make war against Joshua and Israel.
Tad tie sapulcējās visi kopā, kauties ar Jozua un ar Israēli.
3 And the inhabitants of Gabaon heard of all that the Lord did to Jericho and Gai.
Kad nu Gibeonas iedzīvotāji dzirdēja, ko Jozuas bija darījis ar Jēriku un ar Aju, tad tie arīdzan darīja viltu
4 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 tore and patched bottles of wine,
Un nogāja un likās vēstneši ejoši un ņēma vecus maisus uz saviem ēzeļiem,
5 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.
Un vecus saplīsušus un lāpītus ādas vīna traukus, arī vecas un lāpītas kurpes savās kājās, un tiem bija arī vecas drēbes mugurā, un visa viņu ceļamaize bija sakaltusi un sapelējusi.
6 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.
Un tie gāja pie Jozuas Gilgalas lēģerī un sacīja uz to un uz Israēla vīriem: mēs no tālas zemes esam nākuši; tad dariet nu ar mums derību.
7 And the children of Israel said to the Chorrhaean, Peradventure you dwell amongst us; and how should I make a covenant with you?
Tad Israēla vīri sacīja uz to Hivieti: varbūt, ka tu dzīvo mūsu vidū, kā tad mēs ar tevi varam darīt derību?
8 And they said to Joshua, We are your servants: and Joshua said to them, Whence are you, and whence have you come?
Tad tie sacīja uz Jozua: mēs esam tavi kalpi. Tad Jozuas uz tiem sacīja: kas jūs esat un no kurienes jūs nākat?
9 And they said, Your servants are come from a very far country in the name of the Lord your God: for we have heard his name, and all that he did in Egypt,
Tie uz viņu sacīja: tavi kalpi nākuši no varen tālas zemes, Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, vārda dēļ; jo mēs esam dzirdējuši Viņa slavu un visu, ko Viņš darījis Ēģiptes zemē.
10 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 lived in Astaroth and in Edrain.
Un visu, ko Viņš darījis tiem diviem Amoriešu ķēniņiem, kas viņpus Jardānes bija, Sihonam, Hešbonas ķēniņam, un Ogam, Basanas ķēniņam, kas Astarotā dzīvoja.
11 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 you shall say to them, We are your servants, and now make a covenant with us.
Tāpēc mūsu vecaji un visi, kas mūsu zemē dzīvo, uz mums runāja un sacīja: ņemiet savās rokās ceļamaizi un ejat viņiem pretī un sakāt uz tiem: mēs esam jūsu kalpi; un nu dariet ar mums derību.
12 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.
Šo savu maizi mēs jaunu no savām mājām uz ceļu esam paņēmuši līdz, tai dienā, kad mēs izgājām pie jums nākt, bet redzi, nu tā sakaltusi un sapelējusi.
13 And these [are] the skins of wine which we filled when new, and they are tore; and our garments and our shoes are worn out because of the very long journey.
Un šie ādas vīna trauki, ko mēs pildījām, bija jauni, bet redzi, tie ir saplīsuši un šīs mūsu drēbes un mūsu kurpes ir vecas palikušas no tā varen tālā ceļa.
14 And the chiefs took of their provision, and asked not [counsel of] the Lord.
Tad tie vīri ņēma no viņu ceļamaizes un nevaicāja Tā Kunga muti.
15 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.
Un Jozuas derēja mieru ar tiem un darīja derību ar tiem, tos atstāt dzīvus, un tie draudzes virsnieki tiem zvērēja.
16 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 lived amongst them.
Un pēc trim dienām, kad tie derību ar tiem bija darījuši, tad tie dzirdēja, viņus no tuvienes esam un dzīvojam viņu vidū.
17 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.
Jo kad Israēla bērni cēlās, tad tie nāca trešā dienā pie viņu pilsētām. Bet viņu pilsētas bija Gibeona, Kavira un Beērote un Kiriat-Jearima.
18 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.
Un Israēla bērni tos nekāva, tāpēc ka draudzes virsnieki tiem bija zvērējuši pie Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva; tāpēc visa draudze kurnēja pret tiem virsniekiem.
19 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.
Tad visi tie virsnieki uz visu draudzi sacīja: mēs pie Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, tiem esam zvērējuši, tāpēc mēs tos nu nevaram aizskart.
20 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.
Bet mēs tiem darīsim tā: pametīsim tos dzīvus, ka nekāda dusmība pār mums nenāk tā zvēresta dēļ, ko mēs tiem esam zvērējuši.
21 They shall live, and shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes said to them.
Tad tie virsnieki uz tiem sacīja: lai paliek dzīvi; un tie bija malkas cirtēji un ūdens smēlēji visai draudzei, kā tie virsnieki tiem bija runājuši.
22 And Joshua called them together and said to them, Why have you deceived me, saying, We live very far from you; whereas you are fellow-countrymen of those who dwell amongst us?
Un Jozuas tos aicināja un uz tiem runāja sacīdams: kāpēc jūs mūs esat pievīluši sacīdami, mēs esam ļoti tālu no jums, - un jūs tomēr mūsu vidū dzīvojat?
23 And now you 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.
Nu tad esat nolādēti, ka no jums netrūkst kalpu un malkas cirtēju un ūdens smēlēju priekš mūsu Dieva nama.
24 And they answered Joshua, saying, It was reported to us what the Lord your God charged his servant Moses, to give you this land, and to destroy us and all that lived on it from before you; and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and [therefore] we did this thing.
Tie atbildēja Jozuam un sacīja: taviem kalpiem tapa stāstīts, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, Mozum Savam kalpam, ir pavēlējis, ka Viņš jums visu to zemi grib dot, un visus tos, kas tai zemē dzīvo, no jūsu priekšas izdeldēt, tad mēs savas dzīvības dēļ ļoti bijāmies no jums un tā darījām.
25 And now, behold, we [are] in your power; do to us as it is pleasing to you, and as it seems [good] to you.
Un nu redzi, mēs esam tavā rokā, dari mums, tā kā darīt tavās acīs rādās labi un taisni.
26 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 kill them.
Tad viņš tiem tā darīja un tos izglāba no Israēla bērnu rokas, ka tie tos nenokāva.
27 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.
Un Jozuas tai dienā tos nodeva draudzei par malkas cirtējiem un ūdens smēlējiem un priekš Tā Kunga altāra līdz šai dienai tai vietā, ko Viņš izredzētu.
