Joshua 9
1 And it cometh to pass, when all the kings who [are] beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the low-country, and in every haven of the great sea, over-against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, hear —
A LOHE na'lii a pau loa ma keia aoao o Ioredane, ma na mauna, a ma na awawa, a makai ma kahi e pili ana i ka moana nui ma ke alo o Lebanona, o ka Heta, a me ka Amora, a me ko Kanaana, a me ka Pereza, a me ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa,
2 that they gather themselves together to fight with Joshua, and with Israel — one mouth.
Alaila, hoakoakoa mai la lakou e kaua lokahi mai ia Iosua, a me ka Iseraela.
3 And the inhabitants of Gibeon have heard that which Joshua hath done to Jericho and to Ai,
A lohe ka poe i noho ma Gibeona i ka mea a Iosua i hana'i ia Ieriko a me Ai,
4 and they work, even they, with subtilty, and go, and feign to be ambassadors, and take old sacks for their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up,
Alaila hana maalea iho la lakou, a hele aku la, hoomakaukau iho la i o na lakou; a lawe no hoi lakou i na puolo kahiko ma ko lakou mau hoki, a me na hueili waina kahiko, a ua haehae, a ua pahonoia;
5 and sandals, old and patched, on their feet, and old garments upon them, and all the bread of their provision is dry — it was crumbs.
A me na kamaa kahiko, a hawele iho la ma ko lakou kapuwai, a aahu iho la i ka lole kahiko; a o ka berena, ka lakou ai, ua maloo a okaoka.
6 And they go unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, and say unto him, and unto the men of Israel, 'From a land far off we have come, and now, make with us a covenant;'
A hele mai la lakou io Iosua la, ma kahi a lakou i hoomoana'i ma Gilegala, i mai la ia ia, a me na kanaka o ka Iseraela, Ua hele mai nei makou, mai ka aina loihi mai; no ia mea, e hana kakou i olelo kuikahi.
7 and the men of Israel say unto the Hivite, 'It may be in our midst ye are dwelling, and how do we make with thee a covenant?'
I aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela i ka poe Heva, Ke noho nei paha oukou iwaena o makou: pehea la makou e hana'i me oukou i olelo kuikahi?
8 and they say unto Joshua, 'Thy servants we [are].' And Joshua saith unto them, 'Who [are] ye? and whence come ye?'
I mai la lakou ia Iosua, He poe kauwa makou nau. I aku la o Iosua ia lakou, Owai oukou? a mai hea mai oukou i hele mai nei?
9 And they say unto him, 'From a land very far off have thy servants come, for the name of Jehovah thy God, for we have heard His fame, and all that He hath done in Egypt,
I mai la lakou ia ia, O kau poe kauwa nei, ua hele mai makou, mai ka aina loihi loa mai, no ka inoa o Iehova o kou Akua: no ka mea, ua lohe makou i kona kaulana ana, a me na mea a pau ana i hana'i ma Aigupita,
10 and all that He hath done to the two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who [is] in Ashtaroth.
A me na mea a pau ana i hana aku ai i na'lii elua o ka Amora, mao aku o Ioredane, ia Sihona, ke alii o Hesebona, a me Oga, ke alii o Basana, aia ma Asetarota.
11 'And our elders, and all the inhabitants of our land speak unto us, saying, Take in your hand provision for the way, and go to meet them, and ye have said unto them, Your servants we [are], and now, make with us a covenant;
Nolaila i olelo mai ai ko makou poe lunakahiko, a me ka poe a pau i noho i ko makou aina, i mai la ia makou, E lawe oukou ma ko oukou lima i o na oukou ma ke ala, a e hele e halawai me lakou, a e i aku ia lakou, O ka oukou kauwa makou, e hana kakou i olelo kuikahi.
12 this our bread — hot we provided ourselves with it out of our houses, on the day of our coming out to go unto you, and now, lo, it is dry, and hath been crumbs;
O keia berena a makou, o ka makou o noloko mai o ko makou hale, ua hoomakaukau hou ia no makou, i ko makou la i hele mai ai e halawai me oukou, aia hoi, ua maloo, a ua helelei.
13 and these [are] the wine-bottles which we filled, new, and lo, they have rent; and these, our garments and our sandals, have become old, from the exceeding greatness of the way.'
O keia mau hueili waina hoi, a makou i ukuhi hou ai, aia, ua nahaehae. A o keia mau aahu o makou, a me ko makou kamaa, ua weluwelu, no ka loihi loa o ke ala.
14 And the men take of their provision, and the mouth of Jehovah have not asked;
Lawe no na kanaka i ka lakou ai, aole hoi i ninau aku ma ka waha o Iehova.
15 and Joshua maketh with them peace, and maketh with them a covenant, to keep them alive; and swear to them do the princes of the company.
Hoomalu aku la o Iosua ia lakou, a hana iho la i olelo kuikahi me lakou, e ola'i lakou; a hoohiki aku la na luna o ka Iseraela ia lakou.
16 And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days after that they have made with them a covenant, that they hear that they [are] their neighbours — that in their midst they are dwelling.
A mahope iho, i ka pau ana o na la ekolu, mai ka wa mai o ka lakou hana ana i ka olelo kuikahi, alaila lohe o Iosua ma, he kamaaina lakou, a ua noho pu me lakou.
17 And the sons of Israel journey and come in unto their cities on the third day — and their cities [are] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-Jearim —
Hele ae la na mamo a Iseraela, a po akolu hiki i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale. Eia ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, o Gibeona, o Hepira, o Beerota a me Kiriatiarima.
18 and the sons of Israel have not smitten them, for sworn to them have the princes of the company by Jehovah God of Israel, and all the company murmur against the princes.
Aole i pepehi aku na mamo a Iseraela, no ka mea, ua hoohiki ia lakou na luna o ka Iseraela, ma Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela. Ohumu iho la na kanaka a pau i na luna.
19 And all the princes say unto all the company, 'We — we have sworn to them by Jehovah, God of Israel; and now, we are not able to come against them;
Aka, olelo mai la na luna a pau i kanaka a pau, Ua hoohiki no makou ia lakou, ma Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela. Nolaila aole pono e hoopa aku kakou ia lakou.
20 this we do to them, and have kept them alive, and wrath is not upon us, because of the oath which we have sworn to them.'
Eia ka kakou e hana aku ai ia lakou. E hoola no kakou ia lakou, o huhuia mai kakou, no ka hoohiki ana a makou i hoohiki ai ia lakou.
21 And the princes say unto them, 'They live, and are hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the company, as the princes spake to them.'
I mai la na luna i ka Iseraela, E ola no lakou, aka, e lilo no lakou i poe kalai laau, a i poe huki wai, no ke anainakanaka a pau, e like me ka na luna i olelo aku ai ia lakou.
22 And Joshua calleth for them, and speaketh unto them, saying, 'Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you, and ye in our midst dwelling?
Kii aku la o Iosua ia lakou, ninau aku la, me ka i ana aku ia lakou, No ke aha la oukou i nolu mai ai a puni makou, me ka olelo mai, Ua loihi aku makou, mai o oukou aku; a eia hoi oukou, ke noho nei iwaena o makou?
23 and now, cursed are ye, and none of you is cut off [from being] a servant, even hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my God.'
No ia mea e poino auanei oukou, aole loa e kuuia kekahi o oukou; e lilo no oukou i poe kauwa, a i poe kalai laau, a i poe huki wai, no ka hale o ko'u Akua.
24 And they answer Joshua and say, 'Because it was certainly declared to thy servants, that Jehovah thy God commanded Moses His servant to give to you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; and we fear greatly for ourselves because of you, and we do this thing;
Olelo mai lakou ia Iosua, i mai la, No ka hai maopopo ia mai i kau poe kauwa nei, ka mea a Iehova kou Akua i kauoha mai ai i kana kauwa ia Mose, e haawi mai i ka aina a pau no oukou, a e luku hoi i na kanaka a pau o ka aina, imua o oukou; nolaila, i makau loa ai makou i ko makou ola, no oukou, a ua hana hoi i keia mea.
25 and now, lo, we [are] in thy hand, as [it is] good, and as [it is] right in thine eyes to do to us — do.'
Eia hoi makou iloko o kou lima; a o ka mea pono a pololei hoi i kou manao, o kau ia e hana mai ai ia makou.
26 And he doth to them so, and delivereth them from the hand of the sons of Israel, and they have not slain them;
A pela no ia i hana aku ai ia lakou, a hoopakele ia lakou, mai ka lima ae o na mamo a Iseraela, i pepehi ole aku lakou.
27 and Joshua maketh them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the company, and for the altar of Jehovah, unto this day, at the place which He doth choose.
Ia la, hoolilo iho la o Iosua ia lakou i poe kalai laau, a i poe huki wai no na kanaka, a no ke kuahu o Iehova, ma kahi ana i makemake ai, pela no, a hiki loa mai i neia la.
