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 —

2 that they gather themselves together to fight with Joshua, and with Israel — one mouth.

3 And the inhabitants of Gibeon have heard that which Joshua hath done to Jericho and to Ai,
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn Gibeoni gbọ́ ohun tí Joṣua ṣe sí Jeriko àti 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,

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 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;'
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 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?'
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 say unto Joshua, 'Thy servants we [are].' And Joshua saith unto them, 'Who [are] ye? and whence come ye?'
“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 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,
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 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.

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;
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 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;
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 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.'
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 men take of their provision, and the mouth of Jehovah have not asked;
Àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì yẹ oúnjẹ wọn wò, wọn kò sì wádìí ní ọwọ́ Olúwa.
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.
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 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.
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 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 —
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde, wọ́n sì dé ìlú wọn ní ọjọ́ kẹta: Gibeoni, Kefira, Beeroti àti Kiriati-Jearimu.
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.
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 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;
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 do to them, and have kept them alive, and wrath is not upon us, because of the oath which we have sworn 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 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.'
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 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?
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, 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.'
Nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin di ẹni ègún, ẹ̀yin kò sì ní kúrò ní gégigégi àti apọnmi fún ilé Ọlọ́run mi.”
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;
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, lo, we [are] in thy hand, as [it is] good, and as [it is] right in thine eyes to do to us — do.'
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 he doth to them so, and delivereth them from the hand of the sons of Israel, and they have not slain them;
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní Joṣua sì gbà wọ́n là kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Wọn kò sì pa wọ́n.
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.
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.
