Joshua 9
1 All the kings west of the Jordan heard what had happened. These included the kings of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites who lived in the hill country, the lowlands, and along the coast as far as Lebanon.
Ket dagiti amin nga ari nga agnanaed iti ballasiw ti Jordan iti katurodan a pagilian, ken kadagiti kapatadan iti igid ti Dakkel a Baybay nga agturong idiay Libano- dagiti Heteo, Amorreo, Cananeo, Perezeo, Heveo ken Jebuseo-
2 So they gathered to fight together as a united army against Joshua and the Israelites.
nagsangsangkamaysa dagitoy iti maysa a bilin, tapno makigubat a maibusor kenni Josue ken iti Israel.
3 But when the people of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
Idi nangngeg dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Gabaon ti inaramid ni Josue iti Jerico ken iti Ai,
4 they decided on a cunning plan. They sent messengers to Joshua, their donkeys wearing worn-out saddles and carrying old wineskins that were torn and patched.
nagtignayda nga addaan iti makaallilaw a panggep. Nagbalonda kadagiti abasto nga agpaay kadakuada ken nangalada kadagiti rutrot a sako ket insakayda kadagiti asnoda. Nangalada met kadagiti daan a lalat a pagkargaan iti arak, rutrot, pigis ken natarimaanen.
5 They put on worn sandals that had been mended and wore old clothes. All their bread was dry and moldy.
Nangisuotda kadagiti daan ken natakupan a sandalias, ken nagkawesda iti daan ken rutrot a pagan-anay. Amin a tinapay iti abastoda a makan ket namaga ken binuot.
6 They went to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal and told him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a land far away, so please make a treaty with us.”
Kalpasanna, napanda kenni Josue iti kampo idiay Gilgal ket kinunada kenkuana ken kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Nagdaliasatkami manipud iti adayo unay a pagilian, isu a makitulagkayo ita kadakami.”
7 But the Israelites said to the Hivites, “Maybe you live close by. If you do, we cannot make a treaty with you.”
Kinuna dagiti tattao ti Israel kadagiti Heveo, “Nalabit nga agnanaedkayo iti asidegmi. Kasano a makitinnulagkami kadakayo?”
8 “We are your servants,” they replied. “But who are you? Where do you come from?” Joshua asked.
Kinunada kenni Josue, “Dakami dagiti adipenmo.” Kinuna ni Josue kadakuada, “Siasinokayo? Sadino ti naggapuanyo?”
9 “Your servants have come from a land far away,” they replied. “For we have heard of the reputation of the Lord your God, and reports of all that he did in Egypt,
Kinunada kenkuana, “Immay ditoy dagiti adipenmo manipud iti adayo unay a daga, babaen iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosmo. Nangngegmi ti damag maipanggep kenkuana ken ti maipanggep iti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna idiay Egipto-
10 and what he did to the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan—to Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth.
ken ti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna iti dua nga ari dagiti Amorreo iti ballasiw ti Jordan- kenni Sihon nga ari ti Hesbon, ken ni Og nga ari ti Basan nga adda idiay Astarot.
11 So our leaders and everyone who lives in our land told us: Take what you need with you for the journey. Go and meet with them, and tell them, ‘We are your servants. Please make a treaty with us.’
Kinuna kadakami dagiti panglakayenmi ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti pagilianmi, 'Mangalakayo iti balon nga agpaay iti panagdaliasatyo. Mapanyo ida sabaten ket kunaenyo kadakuada, “Dakami dagiti adipenyo. Makitulagkayo kadakami.”
12 Look at this bread. It was warm when we took it from our houses on the day we set out to come here. But now it's dry and moldy, as you can see.
Daytoy ti tinapaymi, napudot pay laeng idi innalami daytoy manipud kadagiti babbalaymi iti aldaw a nagrubbuatkami nga umay kadakayo. Ngem ita, kitaenyo, namagan ken binuoten daytoy.
13 These wineskins were new when we filled them, but look at them now—they're split and damaged. These clothes of ours and our sandals are all worn out because the journey took so long.”
Barbaro dagitoy a lalat a pagkargaan iti arak idi pinunnomi dagitoy, ket kitaenyo, adda bittaknan dagitoyen. Dimmaanen dagiti pagan-anaymi ken dagiti sandaliasmi gapu iti atiddog unay a panagdaliasatmi.'”
14 The Israelites tried some of the food. However, they did not consult the Lord.
Nangala ngarud dagiti Israelita iti sumagmamano kadagiti balonda, ngem saanda a nakiuman kenni Yahweh no ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenda.
15 Then Joshua made a treaty with them, promising to spare their lives, and the leaders of the assembly swore an oath to guarantee it.
Nakikappia ni Josue kadakuada ken napasnek a nagkari a napatalgedan iti dara, a palubosanna ida nga agbiag. Nagsapata met kadakuada dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao.
16 Three days after they had made the treaty, the Israelites learned that the Gibeonites lived nearby, right among them!
Tallo nga aldaw kalpasan ti pannakitulag dagiti Israelita kadakuada, naammoanda a kaarrubada gayam ida ken agnanaedda iti asideg.
17 The Israelites left to go to the Gibeonite towns, and arrived there on the third day. The towns were Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth and Kiriath Jearim.
Nagrubbuat ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel ket dimtengda iti siudadda iti maikatlo nga aldaw. Dagiti siudadda ket Gabaon, Kefira, Beerot ken Kiriat Jearim.
18 But the Israelites did not attack them because of the treaty sworn by the leaders of the assembly in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. At this all the Israelites protested against the leaders.
Saan ida a rinaut dagiti tattao ti Israel gapu ta nagsapata dagiti mangidadaulo kadakuada maipanggep kadakuada iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel. Nagtanabutob dagiti amin nga Israelita a maibusor kadagiti mangidadaulo kadakuada.
19 But the leaders replied to the people, “We swore to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, so we cannot lay a hand on them now.
Ngem kinuna dagiti amin a mangidadaulo kadagiti amin a tattao, “Nagsapatatayo maipapan kadakuada babaen kenni Yahweh, ti Dios ti Israel, ket saantayo ita a mabalin a dangran ida.
20 So this is what we're going to do to them. We'll let them live, so that we won't be punished for breaking the oath that we swore to them.”
Daytoy ti aramidentayo kadakuada: Tapno maliklikantayo ti aniaman a pungtot a mabalin nga umay kadatayo gapu iti kari nga insapatatayo kadakuada, palubosantayo ida nga agbiag.”
21 The leaders concluded, “Let them live.” So the Gibeonites became woodcutters and water-carriers in service to the entire assembly, as the Israelite leaders had ordered.
Kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattaoda, “Palubosanyo ida nga agbiag.” Nagbalin ngarud dagiti taga-Gabaon a para-balsig ken para-sakdo nga agpaay kadagiti amin nga Israelita, a kas kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo maipanggep kadakuada.
22 Then Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and asked them, “Why did you trick us? You told us, ‘We live a long way from you,’ but you live right next door to us!
Pinaayaban ida ni Josue ket kinunana, “Apay nga inallilawdakami idi kinunayo 'Adayokami unay kadakayo', idinto a makipagnanaedkayo met gayam kadakami?
23 Consequently you are under a curse. From now on you shall forever be servants, woodcutters and water-carriers for the house of my God.”
Ita, gapu iti daytoy, nailunodkayo ket kanayonto a tagabu dagiti dadduma kadakayo, dagiti para-balsig ken para-sakdo nga agpaay iti balay ti Diosko.”
24 They answered Joshua, “We your servants were told very clearly that the Lord your God had ordered Moses to give you all this land, and that all its inhabitants were to be wiped out before you. So we really feared for our lives because of you. That's why we did what we did.
Simmungbatda kenni Josue ket kinunada, “Gapu ta naibaga kadagiti adipenyo a binilin ni Yahweh a Diosyo ni Moises nga adipenna nga itedna kadakayo dagiti amin a daga, ken tapno dadaelenyo dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga iti sangoananyo- isu a nagbutengkami unay para kadagiti bibiagmi gapu kadakayo. Isu nga inaramidmi daytoy a banag.
25 Now we're in your hands. Do to us what you think is right and just.”
Kitaem ita, tengngelnakami iti pannakabalinmo. Aniaman nga ipagarupmo a nasayaat ken nalinteg nga aramidem kadakami, aramidem daytoy.”
26 Joshua did as he had said. He saved them from the Israelites, so that they did not kill them.
Inaramid ngarud ni Josue daytoy para kadakuada: inikkatna ida manipud iti panangituray dagiti tattao ti Israel, ken saan ida a pinapatay dagiti Israelita.
27 That day Joshua made them woodcutters and water-carriers in service to the entire assembly and for the altar of the Lord wherever the Lord should choose. That is what they do right up to this very day.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, pinagbalin ni Josue dagiti taga-Gabaon a para-balsig ken para-sakdo nga agpaay kadagiti tattao, ken agpaay iti altar ni Yahweh, agingga ita nga aldaw, iti lugar a pilien ni Yahweh.
