Iosua 9
1 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,
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,
2 Alaila, hoakoakoa mai la lakou e kaua lokahi mai ia Iosua, a me ka Iseraela.
They gathered themselues together, to fight against Ioshua, and against Israel with one accord.
3 A lohe ka poe i noho ma Gibeona i ka mea a Iosua i hana'i ia Ieriko a me Ai,
But the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Ioshua had done vnto Iericho, and to Ai.
4 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;
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,
5 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.
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.
6 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.
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.
7 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?
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?
8 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?
And they said vnto Ioshua, We are thy seruants. Then Ioshua saide vnto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye?
9 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,
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,
10 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.
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.
11 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.
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.
12 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.
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.
13 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.
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.
14 Lawe no na kanaka i ka lakou ai, aole hoi i ninau aku ma ka waha o Iehova.
And the men accepted their tale concerning their vittailes, and counselled not with the mouth of the Lord.
15 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.
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.
16 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.
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.
17 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.
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.
18 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.
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.
19 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.
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.
20 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.
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.
21 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.
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.
22 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?
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?
23 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.
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.
24 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.
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:
25 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.
And beholde nowe, we are in thine hand: doe as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to doe vnto vs.
26 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.
Euen so did he vnto them, and deliuered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slewe them not.
27 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.
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.
