Josue 9
1 Ket dagiti amin nga ari nga agnanaed iti ballasiw ti Jordan iti katurodan a pagilian, ken kadagiti kapatadan iti igid ti Dakkel a Baybay nga agturong idiay Libano- dagiti Heteo, Amorreo, Cananeo, Perezeo, Heveo ken Jebuseo-
And it came to pass, when they heard, —namely, all the kings who were over the Jordan, in the hill country and in the lowland, and in all the coast of the great sea, over against the Lebanon, —the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; —
2 nagsangsangkamaysa dagitoy iti maysa a bilin, tapno makigubat a maibusor kenni Josue ken iti Israel.
then gathered they themselves together as one man, to fight with Joshua, and with Israel, —with one accord.
3 Idi nangngeg dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Gabaon ti inaramid ni Josue iti Jerico ken iti Ai,
Now, the inhabitants of Gibeon, heard that which Joshua had done unto Jericho and unto Ai;
4 nagtignayda nga addaan iti makaallilaw a panggep. Nagbalonda kadagiti abasto nga agpaay kadakuada ken nangalada kadagiti rutrot a sako ket insakayda kadagiti asnoda. Nangalada met kadagiti daan a lalat a pagkargaan iti arak, rutrot, pigis ken natarimaanen.
they, however, acted craftily, and went and started, —and took old sacks for their asses, and leathern wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
5 Nangisuotda kadagiti daan ken natakupan a sandalias, ken nagkawesda iti daan ken rutrot a pagan-anay. Amin a tinapay iti abastoda a makan ket namaga ken binuot.
and sandals, old and patched, upon their feet, and worn-out mantles upon them, —and, all the bread of their provision, was dry and broken.
6 Kalpasanna, napanda kenni Josue iti kampo idiay Gilgal ket kinunada kenkuana ken kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Nagdaliasatkami manipud iti adayo unay a pagilian, isu a makitulagkayo ita kadakami.”
So they took their journey unto Joshua, unto the camp, at Gilgal, —and said unto him, and unto the men of Israel, From a far country, are we come, Now, therefore, solemnise with us a covenant.
7 Kinuna dagiti tattao ti Israel kadagiti Heveo, “Nalabit nga agnanaedkayo iti asidegmi. Kasano a makitinnulagkami kadakayo?”
And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, —Peradventure, in our midst, ye are dwelling, how then can we solemnise with you a covenant?
8 Kinunada kenni Josue, “Dakami dagiti adipenmo.” Kinuna ni Josue kadakuada, “Siasinokayo? Sadino ti naggapuanyo?”
And they said unto Joshua: Thy servants, we are. And Joshua said unto them: Who, are ye? And, from whence, come ye?
9 Kinunada kenkuana, “Immay ditoy dagiti adipenmo manipud iti adayo unay a daga, babaen iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosmo. Nangngegmi ti damag maipanggep kenkuana ken ti maipanggep iti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna idiay Egipto-
And they said unto him—From a very far country, have thy servants come, because of the name of Yahweh thy God, —because we had heard his fame, and all that he had done in Egypt;
10 ken ti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna iti dua nga ari dagiti Amorreo iti ballasiw ti Jordan- kenni Sihon nga ari ti Hesbon, ken ni Og nga ari ti Basan nga adda idiay Astarot.
and all that he had done unto the two kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan, —unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, and unto Og, king of Bashan, who was in Ashtaroth.
11 Kinuna kadakami dagiti panglakayenmi ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti pagilianmi, 'Mangalakayo iti balon nga agpaay iti panagdaliasatyo. Mapanyo ida sabaten ket kunaenyo kadakuada, “Dakami dagiti adipenyo. Makitulagkayo kadakami.”
So our elders and all the inhabitants of our land spake unto us, saying—Take ye, in your hand, provision for the journey, and go your way to meet them, —then shall ye say unto them, Your servants, we are. Now, therefore, solemnise with us a covenant.
12 Daytoy ti tinapaymi, napudot pay laeng idi innalami daytoy manipud kadagiti babbalaymi iti aldaw a nagrubbuatkami nga umay kadakayo. Ngem ita, kitaenyo, namagan ken binuoten daytoy.
This our bread, took we, hot, for our provision, out of our houses, on the day we came forth to journey unto you, —but, now, lo! it is dry, yea it is broken;
13 Barbaro dagitoy a lalat a pagkargaan iti arak idi pinunnomi dagitoy, ket kitaenyo, adda bittaknan dagitoyen. Dimmaanen dagiti pagan-anaymi ken dagiti sandaliasmi gapu iti atiddog unay a panagdaliasatmi.'”
and, these leathern wine bottles, which we filled new, lo! also, they are rent, —and, as for these our mantles and our sandals, they are worn out, by reason of the very long journey.
14 Nangala ngarud dagiti Israelita iti sumagmamano kadagiti balonda, ngem saanda a nakiuman kenni Yahweh no ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenda.
So the men took of their provision, —but, the bidding of Yahweh, had they not asked.
15 Nakikappia ni Josue kadakuada ken napasnek a nagkari a napatalgedan iti dara, a palubosanna ida nga agbiag. Nagsapata met kadakuada dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao.
And Joshua made peace with them, and solemnised with them a covenant to let them live, —and the princes of the assembly, entered into an oath with them.
16 Tallo nga aldaw kalpasan ti pannakitulag dagiti Israelita kadakuada, naammoanda a kaarrubada gayam ida ken agnanaedda iti asideg.
And it came to pass, at the end of three days after they had solemnised with them a covenant, that they heard that, near neighbours, they were unto them, and, in their midst, they were dwelling.
17 Nagrubbuat ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel ket dimtengda iti siudadda iti maikatlo nga aldaw. Dagiti siudadda ket Gabaon, Kefira, Beerot ken Kiriat Jearim.
So the sons of Israel brake up, and came in unto their cities on the third day, —their cities, being Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
18 Saan ida a rinaut dagiti tattao ti Israel gapu ta nagsapata dagiti mangidadaulo kadakuada maipanggep kadakuada iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel. Nagtanabutob dagiti amin nga Israelita a maibusor kadagiti mangidadaulo kadakuada.
And the sons of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the assembly had sworn unto them by Yahweh, God of Israel, —but all the assembly murmured against the princes.
19 Ngem kinuna dagiti amin a mangidadaulo kadagiti amin a tattao, “Nagsapatatayo maipapan kadakuada babaen kenni Yahweh, ti Dios ti Israel, ket saantayo ita a mabalin a dangran ida.
And all the princes said unto all the assembly, We, have sworn unto them, by Yahweh, God of Israel, —now, therefore, we may not touch them.
20 Daytoy ti aramidentayo kadakuada: Tapno maliklikantayo ti aniaman a pungtot a mabalin nga umay kadatayo gapu iti kari nga insapatatayo kadakuada, palubosantayo ida nga agbiag.”
This, will we do unto them, even let them live, —lest there come on us wrath, because of the oath which we have sworn unto them.
21 Kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattaoda, “Palubosanyo ida nga agbiag.” Nagbalin ngarud dagiti taga-Gabaon a para-balsig ken para-sakdo nga agpaay kadagiti amin nga Israelita, a kas kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo maipanggep kadakuada.
And the princes said unto them—Let them live. So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the assembly, as the princes spake unto them.
22 Pinaayaban ida ni Josue ket kinunana, “Apay nga inallilawdakami idi kinunayo 'Adayokami unay kadakayo', idinto a makipagnanaedkayo met gayam kadakami?
And Joshua called for them, and spake unto them, saying, —Wherefore did ye deceive us, saying—We are, very far, from you, whereas, ye, in our midst, are dwelling?
23 Ita, gapu iti daytoy, nailunodkayo ket kanayonto a tagabu dagiti dadduma kadakayo, dagiti para-balsig ken para-sakdo nga agpaay iti balay ti Diosko.”
Now, therefore, accursed, ye are, —and ye shall not cease to be in bond-service as hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my God.
24 Simmungbatda kenni Josue ket kinunada, “Gapu ta naibaga kadagiti adipenyo a binilin ni Yahweh a Diosyo ni Moises nga adipenna nga itedna kadakayo dagiti amin a daga, ken tapno dadaelenyo dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga iti sangoananyo- isu a nagbutengkami unay para kadagiti bibiagmi gapu kadakayo. Isu nga inaramidmi daytoy a banag.
And they responded to Joshua, and said—Because it was, plainly told, thy servants, how that Yahweh thy God had commanded Moses his servant to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, —therefore feared we greatly, for our lives, because of you, and did this thing.
25 Kitaem ita, tengngelnakami iti pannakabalinmo. Aniaman nga ipagarupmo a nasayaat ken nalinteg nga aramidem kadakami, aramidem daytoy.”
Now, therefore, here we are, in thy hand, —as may be good and right in thine eyes, to do unto us, do.
26 Inaramid ngarud ni Josue daytoy para kadakuada: inikkatna ida manipud iti panangituray dagiti tattao ti Israel, ken saan ida a pinapatay dagiti Israelita.
And he did to them so, —and rescued them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, and they slew them not.
27 Iti dayta nga aldaw, pinagbalin ni Josue dagiti taga-Gabaon a para-balsig ken para-sakdo nga agpaay kadagiti tattao, ken agpaay iti altar ni Yahweh, agingga ita nga aldaw, iti lugar a pilien ni Yahweh.
And Joshua appointed them that day to be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the assembly, —and unto the altar of Yahweh, [as they are] until this day, in the place which he should choose.
