Joshua 9
1 And when all the Kings that were beyonde Iorden, in the mountaines and in the valleis, and by all the coastes of the great Sea ouer against Lebanon (as the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites) heard thereof,
Jordan khotlak, tlang neh kolrhawk kah long khaw, tuili puei langkaeng boeih kah neh Lebanon imdan kah Khitti, Amori, Kanaani, Perizzi, Khivee neh Jebusi manghai rhoek loh boeih a yaak uh.
2 They gathered themselues together, to fight against Ioshua, and against Israel with one accord.
Te dongah Joshua vathoh thil ham neh Israel te ol thikat thil ham tun coi uh thae.
3 But the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Ioshua had done vnto Iericho, and to Ai.
Tedae Gibeon khosa rhoek long khaw Joshua loh Jerikho neh Ai taengah a saii te a yaak.
4 And therefore they wrought craftily: for they went, and fayned themselues ambassadours, and tooke olde sackes vpon their asses, and olde bottels for wine, both rent and bound vp,
Te dongah amih te taengnah neh a saii uh tih cet uh. Te phoeiah sayuep bangla a laak dongah tolkhui a rhuem, misur tuitang a rhuem, a hep tih a ben te a khuen uh.
5 And olde shoes and clouted vpon their feete: also the raiment vpon them was old, and all their prouision of bread was dried, and mouled.
A kho dongkah khokhom rhuem tih tairhi coeng. A pum dongkah himbai khaw rhuem coeng tih a buham buh boeih rhae tih a ap om coeng.
6 So they came vnto Ioshua into the hoste to Gilgal, and said vnto him, and vnto the men of Israel, Wee be come from a farre countrey: nowe therefore make a league with vs.
Gilgal rhaehhmuen kah Joshua taengla a pha uh vaengah tah Joshua taeng neh Israel hlang rhoek taengah, “Kho hla lamkah ka pawk uh coeng dongah kaimih neh moi bop uh pawn sih,” a ti na uh.
7 Then the men of Israel said vnto the Hiuites, It may be that thou dwellest among vs, how then can I make a league with thee?
Tedae Israel hlang rhoek loh Khivee te a doo tih, “Nang he kai khui ah kho na sak khaming, tedae balae tih nang taengah moi ka boh khaw ka boh eh,” a ti nah.
8 And they said vnto Ioshua, We are thy seruants. Then Ioshua saide vnto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye?
Joshua taengah khaw, “Kaimih he na sal rhoek ni,” a ti na uh vaengah amih te Joshua loh, “Nangmih te ulae, me lamkah lae na lo uh?” a ti nah.
9 And they answered him, From a very farre countrey thy seruants are come for the Name of the Lord thy God: for we haue heard his fame and all that he hath done in Egypt,
Te vaengah anih te, “BOEIPA na Pathen ming kah a thang neh Egypt ah a saii boeih te ka yaak uh dongah na sal rhoek tah kho hla tloe lamkah ha pawk uh coeng.
10 And all that he hath done to the two Kings of the Amorites that were beyonde Iorden, to Sihon King of Heshbon, and to Og King of Bashan, which were at Ashtaroth.
Te dongah Jordan rhalvang kah Amori manghai rhoi, Heshbon manghai Sihon neh Ashtaroth kah Bashan manghai Oga taengah a saii boeih te khaw.
11 Wherefore our elders, and all the inhabitants of our countrey spake to vs, saying, Take vitailes with you for the iourney, and go to meete them, and say vnto them, Wee are your seruants: now therefore make ye a league with vs.
Te dongah kaimih kah a hamca rhoek neh ka khohmuen kah khosa boeih loh kaimih he ng'uen uh tih, ‘Na kut dongah longpueng kah ham lampu khuen uh lamtah amih aka doe la cet uh laeh. Te vaengah amih te, “Kaimih he na sal rhoek ni, kaimih neh paipi saii uh pawn sih,” ti nah,’ a ti.
12 This our bread we tooke it hote with vs for vittailes out of our houses, the day we departed to come vnto you: but nowe beholde, it is dried, and it is mouled.
‘Nangmih taengla lo ham ka hlah uh hnin ah ka im kah buh bae kan cun uh dae tahae ah daeh tih a ap om coeng he.
13 Also these bottels of wine which we filled, were newe, and lo, they be rent, and these our garments and our shooes are olde, by reason of the exceeding great iourney.
Tuitang he khaw misur a thai ni ka loei uh dae vik ueth coeng he. Ka himbai neh ka khokhom longpueng te set puet ah hmawn boeih coeng,’ ti na uh,” a ti nah.
14 And the men accepted their tale concerning their vittailes, and counselled not with the mouth of the Lord.
Te vaengah BOEIPA yilka a dawt uh mueh la amih kah buhcun te a hlang rhoek loh a paco uh.
15 So Ioshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, that he would suffer them to liue: also the Princes of the Congregation sware vnto them.
Te dongah Joshua loh amih neh rhoepnah a saii tih amih hing sak ham paipi khaw a saii. Khoboei rhaengpuei long khaw amih taengah ol a caeng uh.
16 But at the end of three dayes, after they had made a league with them, they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
Tedae amih neh moi a boh uh phoeikah hnin thum dongah amih te a kaepvai neh a yoei kah khosa rhoek ni tila a yaak uh.
17 And the children of Israel tooke their iourney, and came vnto their cities the third day, and their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth and Kiriath-iearim.
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh cet uh tih a hnin thum dongah tah amih kah khopuei la pawk uh. Te vaengah amih kah khopuei la Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth neh Kiriathjearim om.
18 And the children of Israel slewe them not, because the Princes of the Congregation had sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: wherefore all the Congregation murmured against the Princes.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA rhang neh khoboei rhaengpuei loh amih taengah a toemngam coeng dongah Israel ca rhoek loh amih te tloek uh van pawh. Te dongah khoboei rhoek te rhaengpuei loh boeih a rhaehba tak.
19 Then all the Princes said vnto all the Congregation, We haue sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: nowe therefore we may not touch them.
Te dongah rhaengpuei boeih taengah khoboei rhoek boeih loh, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA rhang neh mamih loh amih taengah n'toemngam uh coeng dongah amih te ben ham a coeng moenih.
20 But this we wil doe to them, and let them liue, least the wrath be vpon vs because of the othe which we sware vnto them.
Amih te hing sak ham he n'saii uh van daengah ni amih taengah n'toemngam uh olhlo loh mamih soah thinhul bat la a om pawt eh,” a ti na uh.
21 And the Princes sayd vnto them againe, Let them liue, but they shall hewe wood, and drawe water vnto all the Congregation, as the Princes appoint them.
Te dongah amih te, “Khoboei rhoek tah hing uh mai saeh. Khoboei rhoek loh amih taengkah a thui vanbangla rhaengpuei boeih kah thing top neh tui than la om uh saeh,” a ti na uh.
22 Ioshua then called them, and talked with them, and sayd, Wherefore haue ye beguiled vs, saying, We are very farre from you, when ye dwel among vs?
Te dongah Joshua loh amih te a khue tih a voek. Amih te, “Balae tih kaimih nan phok uh tih, ‘Kaimih he khohla tloe lamkah ni,’ na ti uh. Tedae nangmih he kaimih khui kah khosa rhoek ni.
23 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the house of my God.
Te dongah nangmih tah thaephoei thil la om vetih na khui lamkah sal pataeng lohnaa mueh la ka Pathen im ham thing top neh tui than la om laeh,” a ti nah.
24 And they answered Ioshua, and sayd, Because it was tolde thy seruants, that the Lord thy God had commanded his seruant Moses to giue you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land out of your sight, therefore we were exceeding sore afraid for our liues at the presence of you, and haue done this thing:
Te dongah Joshua te a doo uh tih, “BOEIPA na Pathen loh nangmih taengah khohmuen pum a paek ham a sal Moses a uen tih khohmuen kah khosa boeih khaw na mikhmuh lamloh a mitmoeng sak te na sal rhoek taengah a thui, a thui vaengah ka hinglu ham khaw nangmih te mat kang rhih uh dongah ni hekah hno he ka saii uh.
25 And beholde nowe, we are in thine hand: doe as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to doe vnto vs.
Tedae kaimih he na kut dongah ka om uh. Kaimih taengah na saii ham tueng tah na mikhmuh ah then tih thuem na ti bangla saii mai,” a ti na uh.
26 Euen so did he vnto them, and deliuered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slewe them not.
Te tlam te amih a saii van tih amih te Israel ca kut lamloh a huul coeng dongah amih te ngawn uh pawh.
27 And Ioshua appointed them that same day to be hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the Congregation, and for the altar of the Lord vnto this day, in the place which he should chuse.
Te vaeng khohnin ah amih te tihnin duela rhaengpuei neh a hmuen tuek ah BOEIPA hmueihtuk ham thing top neh tui than la Joshua loh a khueh.
