Yosua 9
1 Berita tentang kemenangan-kemenangan Israel tersebar sampai kepada semua raja di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan--di pegunungan, di kaki pegunungan, dan di dataran sepanjang pesisir Laut Tengah sampai sejauh Gunung Libanon di sebelah utara; yaitu raja-raja Het, Amori, Kanaan, Feris, Hewi dan Yebus.
And it was when heard all the kings who [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan in the hill country and in the Shephelah and in all [the] coast of the sea great to [the] front of Lebanon the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] the Canaanite[s] the Perizzite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
2 Semua raja itu bermufakat dan bergabung untuk memerangi Yosua dan umat Israel.
And they gathered together all together to wage war with Joshua and with Israel mouth one.
3 Tetapi orang-orang Gibeon dari bangsa Hewi sudah mendengar tentang apa yang dilakukan Yosua terhadap Yerikho dan Ai.
And [the] inhabitants of Gibeon they heard [that] which he had done Joshua to Jericho and to Ai.
4 Lalu mereka memutuskan untuk mengelabui Yosua dengan memuat di atas keledai mereka: karung-karung tua, dan kantong-kantong anggur yang buruk-buruk yang dibuat dari kulit. Dan sebagai bekal, mereka menyiapkan hanya roti yang sudah kering dan berjamur.
And they acted also they with cunning and they went and they acted as ambassadors and they took sacks worn out for donkeys their and skin-bottles of wine worn out and split and tied up.
5 Mereka memakai pakaian yang compang-camping serta sepatu yang sudah tua dan ditambal-tambal.
And sandals worn out and patched [were] on feet their and garments worn out [were] on them and all [the] bread of provision[s] their it was dried up it was crumbs.
6 Dengan keadaan demikian mereka pergi menemui Yosua di perkemahan di Gilgal lalu berkata kepadanya dan kepada orang-orang Israel, "Kami datang dari negeri yang jauh hendak mengadakan perjanjian dengan Tuan-tuan."
And they went to Joshua to the camp Gilgal and they said to him and to [the] man of Israel from a land distant we have come and therefore make to us a covenant.
7 Tetapi orang-orang Israel berkata, "Untuk apa kami mengadakan perjanjian dengan kalian? Barangkali tempat tinggal kalian di dekat-dekat sini saja!"
(And he said *Q(K)*) [the] man of Israel to the Hivite[s] perhaps in midst my you [are] dwelling and how? (will I make *Q(k)*) to you a covenant.
8 Mereka berkata, "Kami rela melakukan apa saja yang Tuan perintahkan." "Kalian siapa? Dan dari negeri mana?" tanya Yosua kepada mereka.
And they said to Joshua [are] servants your we and he said to them Joshua who? [are] you and from where? do you come.
9 Mereka menjawab, "Kami datang dari negeri yang jauh sekali, Tuan, karena kami mendengar tentang TUHAN Allah yang disembah oleh Tuan-tuan. Kami mendengar tentang semua yang dilakukan-Nya di Mesir,
And they said to him from a land distant very they have come servants your to [the] name of Yahweh God your for we have heard [the] report of him and all that he did in Egypt.
10 dan tentang apa yang dilakukan-Nya terhadap kedua orang raja Amori di sebelah timur Yordan, yaitu Sihon raja Hesybon serta Og raja Basan yang tinggal di Asytarot.
And - all that he did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon [the] king of Heshbon and to Og [the] king of Bashan who [was] in Ashtaroth.
11 Pemimpin-pemimpin dan seluruh penduduk negeri kami menyuruh kami menyiapkan bekal untuk berangkat ke sini menemui Tuan-tuan, dan menyatakan bahwa kami takluk kepada Tuan-tuan. Sebab itu, kami mohon kemurahan hati Tuan-tuan untuk mengadakan perjanjian dengan kami.
And they said to us elders our and all [the] inhabitants of land our saying take in hand your provision[s] for the journey and go to meet them and you will say to them [are] servants your we and therefore make to us a covenant.
12 Cobalah Tuan-tuan lihat, roti bekal kami ini. Ketika kami berangkat, roti ini masih hangat. Tetapi sekarang, lihatlah! Sudah kering dan berjamur.
This - bread our warm we took as our provisions it from homes our on [the] day came out we to come to you and now here! it has dried up and it has been crumbs.
13 Dan kantong-kantong anggur ini masih baru ketika kami mengisinya; tetapi sekarang, lihatlah! Sudah robek-robek. Pakaian kami dan sepatu kami pun sudah rusak karena perjalanan yang jauh ini."
And these [the] skin-bottles of wine which we filled new and here! they have split and these garments our and sandals our they have worn out from [the] greatness of the journey very.
14 Maka orang-orang Israel menerima sedikit dari makanan orang-orang Gibeon itu, dan tidak bertanya kepada TUHAN mengenai hal itu.
And they took the men some of provision[s] their and [the] mouth of Yahweh not they asked.
15 Yosua mengadakan perjanjian persahabatan dengan orang-orang Gibeon itu, dan berjanji untuk tidak membunuh mereka. Pemimpin-pemimpin umat Israel juga bersumpah untuk menepati perjanjian itu.
And he made to them Joshua peace and he made to them a covenant to let live them and they swore an oath to them [the] leaders of the congregation.
16 Tapi ternyata, pada hari ketiga setelah perjanjian itu dibuat, orang Israel telah dapat mencapai kota Gibeon, Kefira, Beerot dan Kiryat-Yearim di daerah orang-orang itu. Maka barulah ketahuan bahwa tempat tinggal mereka tidak jauh dari Gilgal.
And it was from [the] end of three days after that they had made to them a covenant and they heard that [were] near they to him and in midst his they [were] dwelling.
And they set out [the] people of Israel and they came to cities their on the day third and cities their [were] Gibeon and Kephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath Jearim.
18 Tetapi orang Israel tidak bisa membunuh mereka, sebab pemimpin-pemimpin Israel sudah bersumpah kepada mereka atas nama TUHAN Allah Israel. Seluruh umat Israel menggerutu mengenai hal itu kepada para pemimpin mereka.
And not they attacked them [the] people of Israel for they had sworn an oath to them [the] leaders of the congregation by Yahweh [the] God of Israel and they grumbled all the congregation on the leaders.
19 Tetapi pemimpin-pemimpin itu menjawab, "Apa boleh buat! Kami sudah berjanji kepada mereka dengan sumpah atas nama TUHAN Allah Israel. Sekarang kita tidak boleh berbuat jahat terhadap mereka.
And they said all the leaders to all the congregation we we have sworn an oath to them by Yahweh [the] God of Israel and therefore not we are able to touch them.
20 Kita tidak boleh membunuh mereka sebab kita sudah berjanji; dan kalau kita mengingkari janji itu Allah akan menghukum kita.
This we will do to them and we will let live them and not it will be towards us wrath on the oath which we swore to them.
21 Jadi, biarkanlah mereka hidup, tetapi kita semua menjadikan mereka tukang belah kayu dan tukang pikul air untuk kita semua." Begitulah yang dianjurkan oleh pemimpin-pemimpin itu.
And they said to them the leaders let them live and they were cutters of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation just as they had spoken to them the leaders.
22 Lalu orang-orang Gibeon itu dipanggil menghadap Yosua. Yosua berkata, "Kenapa kalian menipu kami dan berkata bahwa negerimu jauh sekali, padahal hanya di sini?
And he summoned them Joshua and he spoke to them saying why? did you deceive us saying [are] distant we from you very and you in midst our [are] dwelling.
23 Karena kalian berbuat begitu, Allah menghukum kalian. Bangsamu akan selalu menjadi hamba, tukang belah kayu dan tukang pikul air untuk Rumah Allahku."
And therefore [are] cursed you and not he will be cut off from you a slave and cutters of wood and drawers of water for [the] house of God my.
24 Mereka menjawab, "Kami berbuat begitu karena kami mendengar bahwa TUHAN Allah yang Tuan sembah itu sudah menyuruh Musa, hamba-Nya itu, memberikan kepada Tuan seluruh negeri ini dan membunuh semua penduduknya pada waktu Tuan mengambil tanah itu. Kami takut sekali kalau-kalau kami dibunuh, itu sebabnya kami melakukan semuanya ini.
And they answered Joshua and they said that certainly it was told to servants your this: he had commanded Yahweh God your Moses servant his to give to you all the land and to destroy all [the] inhabitants of the land from before you and we were afraid very for lives our because of you and we did the thing this.
25 Sekarang kami di dalam kekuasaan Tuan. Perlakukanlah kami menurut yang Tuan pandang baik."
And therefore here we [are] in hand your according to the good and according to the right in view your to do to us do.
26 Maka inilah yang dilakukan Yosua: ia melindungi orang-orang itu dan tidak mengizinkan orang Israel membunuh mereka.
And he did to them thus and he delivered them from [the] hand of [the] people of Israel and not they killed them.
27 Tetapi mereka dijadikannya hamba--yaitu tukang belah kayu dan tukang pikul air untuk orang Israel dan untuk mezbah TUHAN. Sampai sekarang mereka masih melakukan pekerjaan itu di tempat yang dipilih TUHAN menjadi tempat ibadat baginya.
And he made them Joshua on the day that cutters of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for [the] altar of Yahweh until the day this to the place which he will choose.
