Yosua 9
1 Ketika terdengar oleh raja-raja di sebelah barat sungai Yordan, di Pegunungan, di Daerah Bukit dan sepanjang tepi pantai Laut Besar sampai ke seberang gunung Libanon, yakni raja-raja orang Het, orang Amori, orang Kanaan, orang Feris, orang Hewi dan orang 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 bergabunglah mereka dengan seia sekata untuk memerangi Yosua dan orang Israel.
And they gathered together all together to wage war with Joshua and with Israel mouth one.
3 Tetapi ketika terdengar kepada penduduk negeri Gibeon 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 maka merekapun bertindak dengan memakai akal: mereka pergi menyediakan bekal, mengambil karung yang buruk-buruk untuk dimuatkan ke atas keledai mereka dan kirbat anggur yang buruk-buruk, yang robek dan dijahit kembali,
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 dan kasut yang buruk-buruk dan ditambal untuk dikenakan pada kaki mereka dan pakaian yang buruk-buruk untuk dikenakan oleh mereka, sedang segala roti bekal mereka telah kering, tinggal remah-remah belaka.
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 Demikianlah mereka pergi kepada Yosua, ke tempat perkemahan di Gilgal. Berkatalah mereka kepadanya dan kepada orang-orang Israel itu: "Kami ini datang dari negeri jauh; maka sekarang ikatlah perjanjian dengan kami."
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 berkatalah orang-orang Israel kepada orang-orang Hewi itu: "Barangkali kamu ini diam di tengah-tengah kami, bagaimana mungkin kami mengikat perjanjian dengan kamu?"
(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 Lalu kata mereka kepada Yosua: "Kami ini hamba-hambamu." Tanya Yosua: "Siapakah kamu ini dan dari manakah kamu datang?"
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 Jawab mereka kepadanya: "Dari negeri yang sangat jauh hamba-hambamu ini datang karena nama TUHAN, Allahmu, sebab kami telah mendengar kabar tentang Dia, yakni segala 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 segala yang dilakukan-Nya terhadap kedua raja orang Amori itu di seberang sungai Yordan, Sihon, raja Hesybon, dan Og, raja Basan, yang diam 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 Sebab itu para tua-tua kami dan seluruh penduduk negeri kami berkata kepada kami, demikian: Bawalah bekal untuk di jalan dan pergilah menemui mereka dan berkatalah kepada mereka: Kami ini hamba-hambamu, maka sekarang ikatlah 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 Inilah roti kami: masih panas ketika kami bawa sebagai bekal dari rumah pada hari kami berangkat berjalan mendapatkan kamu, tetapi sekarang, lihatlah, telah kering dan tinggal remah-remah belaka.
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 Inilah kirbat-kirbat anggur, yang masih baru ketika kami mengisinya, tetapi lihatlah, telah robek; dan inilah pakaian dan kasut kami, semuanya telah buruk-buruk karena perjalanan yang sangat jauh itu."
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 Lalu orang-orang Israel mengambil bekal orang-orang itu, tetapi tidak meminta keputusan TUHAN.
And they took the men some of provision[s] their and [the] mouth of Yahweh not they asked.
15 Maka Yosua mengadakan persahabatan dengan mereka dan mengikat perjanjian dengan mereka, bahwa ia akan membiarkan mereka hidup; dan para pemimpin umat itu bersumpah kepada mereka.
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 Tetapi setelah lewat tiga hari, sesudah orang Israel mengikat perjanjian dengan orang-orang itu, terdengarlah oleh mereka, bahwa orang-orang itu tinggal dekat mereka, bahkan diam di tengah-tengah mereka.
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.
17 Sebab orang Israel berangkat pergi dan pada hari ketiga sampai ke kota-kota orang-orang itu; adapun kota-kota itu ialah Gibeon, Kefira, Beerot dan Kiryat-Yearim.
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 Orang Israel tidak menewaskan, sebab para pemimpin umat telah bersumpah kepada mereka demi TUHAN, Allah Israel. Lalu bersungut-sungutlah segenap umat kepada para pemimpin.
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 Berkatalah pemimpin-pemimpin itu kepada seluruh umat: "Kami telah bersumpah kepada mereka demi TUHAN, Allah Israel; oleh sebab itu kita tidak dapat mengusik 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 Beginilah akan kita perlakukan mereka: membiarkan mereka hidup, supaya kita jangan tertimpa murka karena sumpah yang telah kita ikrarkan itu kepada mereka."
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 Lagi kata para pemimpin kepada mereka: "Biarlah mereka hidup." Maka merekapun dijadikan tukang belah kayu dan tukang timba air untuk segenap umat, seperti yang ditetapkan oleh para pemimpin mengenai mereka.
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 Yosua memanggil mereka dan berkata kepada mereka, demikian: "Mengapa kamu menipu kami dengan berkata: Kami ini tinggal sangat jauh dari pada kamu, padahal kamu diam di tengah-tengah kami?
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 Oleh sebab itu, terkutuklah kamu dan tak putus-putusnya kamu menjadi hamba, tukang belah kayu dan tukang timba 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 Jawab mereka kepada Yosua, katanya: "Sebab telah dikabarkan dengan sungguh-sungguh kepada hamba-hambamu ini, bahwa TUHAN, Allahmu, memerintahkan kepada Musa hamba-Nya, memberikan seluruh negeri itu kepadamu dan memunahkan seluruh penduduk negeri itu dari depan kamu, maka sangatlah kami takut kehilangan nyawa, menghadapi kamu; itulah sebabnya kami melakukan yang demikian.
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 Maka sekarang, kami ini dalam tanganmu; perlakukanlah kami seperti yang kaupandang baik dan benar untuk dilakukan kepada kami."
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 Demikianlah dilakukannya kepada mereka. Dilepaskannyalah mereka dari tangan orang-orang Israel, sehingga mereka tidak dibunuh.
And he did to them thus and he delivered them from [the] hand of [the] people of Israel and not they killed them.
27 Dan pada waktu itu Yosua menjadikan mereka tukang belah kayu dan tukang timba air untuk umat itu dan untuk mezbah TUHAN, sampai sekarang, di tempat yang akan dipilih-Nya.
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.
