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],

2 they came all together at the same time to make war against Joshua and Israel.

3 And the inhabitants of Gabaon heard of all that the Lord did to Jericho and Gai.

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,

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.
Àwọn ọkùnrin náà sì wọ bàtà àti aṣọ tí ó ti gbó. Gbogbo oúnjẹ tí wọ́n pèsè fún ara wọn sì bu.
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.
Wọ́n sì tọ Joṣua lọ ní ibùdó ní Gilgali, wọ́n sì sọ fún òun àti àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli pé, “Ìlú òkèrè ní àwọn ti wá, ẹ ṣe àdéhùn àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú wa.”
7 And the children of Israel said to the Chorrhaean, Peradventure you dwell among us; and how should I make a covenant with you?
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sọ fún àwọn ará Hifi pé, “Ṣùgbọ́n bóyá tòsí wa ni ẹ ń gbé. Báwo ni a ó ṣe lè ṣe àdéhùn pẹ̀lú yín?”
8 And they said to Joshua, We are your servants: and Joshua said to them, Whence are you, and whence have you come?
“Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ní àwa í ṣe.” Wọ́n sọ fún Joṣua. Ṣùgbọ́n Joṣua béèrè, “Ta ni yín àti pé níbo ni ẹ̀yin ti wá?”
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,
Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, “Ní ilẹ̀ òkèèrè ní àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ tí wá, nítorí orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ. Nítorí tí àwa ti gbọ́ òkìkí rẹ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ti ṣe ní Ejibiti,
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.

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.
Àwọn àgbàgbà wa àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé ìlú wa sọ fún wa pé, ‘Ẹ mú oúnjẹ lọ́wọ́ fún ìrìnàjò yín, ẹ lọ pàdé wọn, kí ẹ sì sọ fún wọn pé, “Àwa ni ìránṣẹ́ yín, ẹ dá àdéhùn pẹ̀lú wa.”’
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.
Gbígbóná ní a mú oúnjẹ wa wá, nígbà tí a dì í ní ilé ní ọjọ́ tí à ń bọ̀ wá sọ́dọ̀ yín. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ wò ó bí ó ṣe gbẹ àti bí ó sì ṣe bu nísinsin yìí.
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.
Àti ìgò wáìnì wọ̀nyí, tí àwa rọ kún tuntun ni, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ wò ó bí wọ́n ti sán. Aṣọ àti bàtà wa ni ó sì ti gbó nítorí ìrìnàjò ọ̀nà jíjìn.”
14 And the chiefs took of their provision, and asked not [counsel of] the Lord.
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì yẹ oúnjẹ wọn wò, wọn kò sì wádìí ní ọwọ́ Olúwa.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua ṣe àdéhùn àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú wọn láti dá wọn sí, àti àwọn olórí ìjọ ènìyàn fi ọwọ́ sí àdéhùn náà nípa ṣíṣe ìbúra.
16 And it came to pass three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were near neighbors, and that they lived among them.
Ní ẹ̀yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta tí wọ́n ti ṣe àdéhùn pẹ̀lú àwọn ará Gibeoni, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbọ́ pé aládùúgbò wọn ni wọ́n, tí ń gbé ní tòsí wọn.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde, wọ́n sì dé ìlú wọn ní ọjọ́ kẹta: Gibeoni, Kefira, Beeroti àti Kiriati-Jearimu.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kò si kọlù wọ́n, nítorí pé àwọn àgbàgbà ìjọ ènìyàn ti búra fún wọn ní orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli. Gbogbo ènìyàn sì kùn sí àwọn àgbàgbà náà,
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.
ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn olórí dáhùn pé, “Àwa ti búra fún wọn ní orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, a kò sì lè fọwọ́ kàn wọ́n nísinsin yìí.
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.
Èyí ní àwa yóò ṣe sí wọn, àwa yóò dá wọn sí, kí ìbínú kí ó má ba à wá sórí wa, nítorí ìbúra tí a búra fún wọn.”
21 They shall live, and shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes said to them.
Wọ́n tẹ̀síwájú, “Ẹ dá wọn sí, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ jẹ́ kí wọn jẹ́ gégigégi àti apọnmi fún gbogbo ìlú.” Àwọn àgbàgbà náà sì mú ìlérí wọn ṣẹ fún wọn.
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 among us?
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua pe àwọn ọmọ Gibeoni jọ pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi tàn wá wí pe, ‘Àwa gbé ní ibi tí ó jìnnà sí yín,’ nígbà tí ó jẹ́ pé tòsí wa ní ẹ̀yin ń gbé?
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.
Nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin di ẹni ègún, ẹ̀yin kò sì ní kúrò ní gégigégi àti apọnmi fún ilé Ọlọ́run mi.”
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.
Wọ́n sì dá Joṣua lóhùn pé, “Nítorí tí a sọ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ dájúṣáká bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti pàṣẹ fún Mose ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, láti fún yín ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà, kí ó sì pa gbogbo olùgbé ilẹ̀ náà run kúrò ní iwájú yín. Nítorí náà, àwa bẹ̀rù ẹ̀mí wa nítorí yín, èyí sì ni ìdí tí a fi ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
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.
Nísinsin yìí, àwa wà ní ọwọ́ yín. Ohunkóhun tí ẹ bá rò pé ó yẹ ó si tọ́ lójú yín ní kí ẹ fi wá ṣe.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní Joṣua sì gbà wọ́n là kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Wọn kò sì pa wọ́n.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni ó sọ àwọn Gibeoni di aṣẹ́gi àti apọnmi fún àwọn ará ìlú àti fún pẹpẹ Olúwa ní ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn. Báyìí ni wọ́n wà títí di òní yìí.
