Joshua 9
1 When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard of it
Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi hina bagade dunu huluane da Isala: ili dunu ilia gasa bagade hasalasu hou nabi dagoi. Amo hou ilia da goumi soge ganodini, umi soge Medidela: inia Wayabo Bagade bega: amola soge gano asili Lebanone sogega doaga: i, amo esalebe dunu huluane da Isala: ili dunu ilia hou nabi. Amo hina bagade dunu ilia fi da Hidaide, A:moulaide, Ga: ina: naide, Belesaide, Haifaide amola Yebiusaide.
2 they gathered themselves together to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
Amo hina bagade dunu da gilisili, Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu ilima gegemusa: gilisi.
3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
Be Gibionaide dunu (ilia da Haifaide fi dunu) ilia da Yosiua ea hou amo Yeligou amola A: iai amoma hamoi nababeba: le,
4 they also resorted to a ruse, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks on their donkeys, and old, torn-up and bound up wine skins,
ilia da Yosiuama ogogomusa: dawa: i galu. Ilia da ha: i manu lale, ilia dougi da: iya esa wadela: lesi dagoi amola waini gadofo gadelale nodomei ligisi.
5 and old and patched sandals on their feet, and wore old garments. All the bread of their food supply was dry and mouldy.
Ilia da abula wadela: i amola hea emo salasu wadela: iba: le nodomei gasisali.
6 They went to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country. Now therefore make a covenant with us.”
Amalalu, ilia da Isala: ili abula diasu gilisisu Giliga: le amoga gala amoga asili, Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Ninia da soge sedagaga misi. Ninia da dilima gousa: su hamomu galebe.”
7 The men of Israel said to the Hivites, “What if you live amongst us? How could we make a covenant with you?”
Be Isala: ili dunu da amane sia: i, “Ninia da dilima gousa: su abuliga hamoma: bela: ? Amabela: ? Dilia da gadenene esalabala?”
8 They said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Joshua said to them, “Who are you? Where do you come from?”
Ilia da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Ninia da dia hawa: hamosu dunu esala.” Yosiua da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da nowala: ? Dilia da habidili misibala: ?”
9 They said to him, “Your servants have come from a very far country because of the name of the LORD your God; for we have heard of his fame, all that he did in Egypt,
Amalalu, ilia da amo sia: ema olelei, “Ninia da dilia Hina Gode Ea hou nababeba: le, soge sedade amoga misi dagoi. Ninia da Ea hou Idibidi soge ganodini hamoi,
10 and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
amola E da A: moulaide hina bagade aduna Yodane Hano eso mabadi la: idiga esalu (amo da Hesiabone hina bagade amo ea dio Saihone amola Ba: isia: ne hina bagade Asiadalode moilai bai bagadega esalu amo ea dio Oge) Hina Gode da elama hamoi, amo ninia nabi.
11 Our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take supplies in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them. Tell them, “We are your servants. Now make a covenant with us.”’
Ninia ouligisu dunu amola fi dunu huluane ninia soge ganodini esala da nini ha: i manu momagele, dima gousa: musa: masa: ne sia: i. Ilia da nini da dima hawa: hamomusa: sia: ne, dilima gousa: su hamoma: ne sia: i.
12 This our bread we took hot for our supplies out of our houses on the day we went out to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and has become mouldy.
Ninia agi ga: gi ba: ma! Ninia da dilima gousa: musa: nini soge fisili, amo agi ga: gi da gugumi ba: i. Ba: ma! Wali amo da hafoga: i amola moloba: fi dagoi.
13 These wine skins, which we filled, were new; and behold, they are torn. These our garments and our sandals have become old because of the very long journey.”
Ninia da waini amo waini gadofo ganodini sogasalaloba, waini gadofo da gaheabolo ba: i. Be wali ilia da gadelai. Ninia sedagaga misiba: le ninia abula amola emo salasu da hea hamoi dagoi.”
14 The men sampled their provisions, and didn’t ask counsel from the LORD’s mouth.
Isala: ili dunu da ilima ha: i manu lai, be ilia hou dawa: ma: ne Hina Godema hame adole ba: i.
15 Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live. The princes of the congregation swore to them.
Yosiua da hahawane gousa: su ilima hamoi amola amo dunu hame medole legei. Isala: ili ouligisu dunu da dafawane amo gousa: su hame fisima: ne ilegele sia: i.
16 At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they lived amongst them.
Be eso udiana asili, Isala: ili dunu da Gibionaide dunu da gadenene fi amo nabi dagoi.
17 The children of Israel travelled and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da asili, eso udiana asili ilia esalebe moilale bai bagadega doaga: i. Amo moilale gagai bai bagade ilia dio da Gibione, Gifaila, Bialode amola Gilia: de Yialimi.
18 The children of Israel didn’t strike them, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. All the congregation murmured against the princes.
Be Isala: ili ouligisu dunu da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le amo dunu hame medomu ilegele sia: i dagoiba: le, ilia da amo dunu medole legemu hamedei ba: i. Isala: ili dunu huluane da ilia ouligisu dunuma sia: ga gegei.
19 But all the princes said to all the congregation, “We have sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. Now therefore we may not touch them.
Be Isala: ili ouligisu dunu da bu adole i, “Ninia da Isala: ili Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le amo dunuma sia: i dagoiba: le, ninia da ilima se imunu hamedei.
20 We will do this to them, and let them live; lest wrath be on us, because of the oath which we swore to them.”
Ninia sia: i dagoiba: le, amo dunu hame medole legemu. Amai hame galea, Gode da ninima se imunu.
21 The princes said to them, “Let them live.” So they became wood cutters and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the princes had spoken to them.
Ilia da esalumu da defea. Be ilia da ninia lalu habei amola hano nasu gaguli misunu.”
22 Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, “Why have you deceived us, saying, ‘We are very far from you,’ when you live amongst us?
Yosiua da Isala: ili dunuma ilia da Gibionaide dunu ema oule misa: ne sia: i. E da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da abuliba: le ninima ogogobela: ? Dilia gadenene esalebeba: le, abuliba: le sedagaga esala sia: bela: ?
23 Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you will never fail to be slaves, both wood cutters and drawers of water for the house of my God.”
Dilia da agoane hamoiba: le, Gode da dilima ougi, se imunu. Dilia fi da mae fisili, eso huluane udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalumu. Dilia da na Gode Ea modale ligiagai diasuga lalu habele amola hano dili gaguli misunu.
24 They answered Joshua, and said, “Because your servants were certainly told how the LORD your God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you. Therefore we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
Ilia da bu adole i, “Ninia da sia: amo dilia Hina Gode da Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese ema soge huluane lama amola amo ganodini fi dunu huluane medole legema sia: i dagoi, amo nababeba: le ninia da agoane hamoi. Ninia da dilima bagade beda: iba: le amola nini da bogosa: besa: le amo ogogosu hamoi.
25 Now, behold, we are in your hand. Do to us as it seems good and right to you to do.”
Be wali ninia da dia lobo ganodini gagui gala. Dia asigi dawa: su defele ninima hamoma.”
26 He did so to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, so that they didn’t kill them.
Amaiba: le Yosiua da agoane hamoi. E da Gibionaide dunu gaga: i amola Isala: ili dunuma amo mae medoma: ne sia: i.
27 That day Joshua made them wood cutters and drawers of water for the congregation and for the LORD’s altar to this day, in the place which he should choose.
Be e da ili da udigili hawa: hamoma: ne sia: i. Ilia da Isala: ili dunuma amola Hina Gode Ea oloda amoga lalu habele, amola hano dili gaguli misi. Amola mae fisili hamonanu, ilia da wali eso amola Hina Godema nodomusa: sogebi E da ilegei, amoga ilia da amo udigili hawa: hamonana.
