1 Hanki Jodani timofo kantu zage fre kaziga agonaregama nemaniza kini vahe'ma, agonamofo asoparega nemaniza kini vahe'ma, agupofima nemaniza kini vahe'ma, Mediterenia ra hagerimofo ankinaregati vuno anagamu noti kaziga Lebanoni mopare nemaniza kini vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma Amori vahe'ma, Kenani vahe'ma, Peresi vahe'ma, Hivi vahe'ma Jebusi kini vahe'mo'zama antahi'zama Josua'ma Jeriko vahe'ene Ai kumate vahe'ma ha'ma huzamagaterea agenkema nentahi'za,
Now when news of this reached all the kings west of the Jordan—those in the hill country, the foothills, and all along the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon (the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites)—
2 ana maka'mo'za eri mago hu'za Josuane Israeli vahera ha' huzmante'naku hu'naze.
they came together to wage war against Joshua and Israel.
3 Hianagi Gibioni vahe'mo'za Josuama Jerikone Ai rankuma'enema zamazeri havizama hu'nea zamofo agenkema nentahi'za,
But the people of Gibeon, having heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
4 mago'a vene'ne nagara huzmantage'za haviza hu'za afete moparegati Israeli vahete naneke eri'za e' vahekna hu'za e'naze. Ana vahe'mo'za atafareno tagatoma hu'nea meme akrute waini tintafempi rehati rehati hu'za waini tina afineri'za, atafama re'nea kuzamia donki afumofo agumpi nente'za,
acted deceptively and set out as envoys, carrying on their donkeys worn-out sacks and old wineskins, cracked and mended.
5 tagoto hu'nea zamaga ano rehati rehati hu'za nentani'za, atafare'nea kukena nentani'za, hagege huno tontore'nea breti eri'za vu'naze.
They put worn, patched sandals on their feet and threadbare clothing on their bodies, and their whole supply of bread was dry and moldy.
6 Anante kuma'ma eme ante'za Gilgalima mani'nazare Josuante e'za, agri'ene Israeli vahera amanage hu'za eme zmasami'naze, tagra afete moparegati e'nonku tamagrane mago tarimpa huta manisuna zamofo kea huvempa huranteho.
They went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a distant land; please make a treaty with us.”
7 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ana Hivi vahe'mokizmia amanage hu'za zamasami'naze, Na'a agafare tamagranena tarimpa fru huta manisunku, huvempa huramantegahune? Na'ankure tamagra afeti vahera omani'negahaze.
But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you dwell near us. How can we make a treaty with you?”
8 Hianagi Hivi vahe'mo'za Josuana asami'za, kagri eri'za vahe mani'none hazageno, Josua'a zamantahigeno, tamagra izagata, igati e'naze?
“We are your servants,” they said to Joshua. Then Joshua asked them, “Who are you and where have you come from?”
9 Hige'za Josuana kenona'a hunte'za, kagri eri'za vahe'mota afete mopareti e'none. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo hihamu'amofo agi agenkemo'ma marerigeno, ana maka zama Isipi vahete'ma tro'ma nehuno,
“Your servants have come from a very distant land,” they replied, “because of the fame of the LORD your God. For we have heard the reports about Him: all that He did in Egypt,
10 tare Amori kini ne'ene Jodani timofo kantu kaziga nemania kini nete'ma tro'ma hu'nea zane, Hesboni kini ne' Sihoninte tro hu'nea zane, Basani kini ne' Ogi'ma Astoroti nemania nete'ma tro'ma hu'nea zamofo agenkea antahi'none.
and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites beyond the Jordan—Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth.
11 Hagi kva vaheti'mozane mopatifi'ma ana maka nemaniza vahe'mo'za hurante'za, mago'a ne'zama erinetama vanaza ne'zana tro hu'neta, nevuta ana vahe'ma ome nezamagenutma amanage huta zamasamiho hu'naze, tagra tamagri eri'za vahe mani'nonanki, trimpa fru huta manisunku tamagra huvempa kea huranteho.
So the elders and inhabitants of our land told us, ‘Take provisions for your journey; go to meet them and say to them: We are your servants. Please make a treaty with us.’
12 Amama erita e'nona bretiramina keho, kantega ne-eta nesunazane huta kumati'ma atreta ne-eta ana zupa amuho hu'negeta erita e'none. Hianagi menina keho, hago hagege huno ankra kruhe'ne.
This bread of ours was warm when we packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But take a look, it is now dry and moldy.
13 Hanki mememofo akruteti tromahu tintafena keho, kasefa me'negeta waini tina afirita e'nonane. Hianagi menina keho, hago ampamu hu'ne. Ana nehigeno kukenane taga anonema antani'nona zamo'enena za'za kama e'nona zamo higeno tagatotagatu hu'ne.
These wineskins were new when we filled them, but look, they are cracked. And these clothes and sandals are worn out from our very long journey.”
14 Anante Israeli vahe'mo'za ana nezantamina eri'za ke'nazanagi, Ra Anumzamofona antahige'za knare antahi'zana e'ori'naze.
Then the men of Israel sampled their provisions, but did not seek the counsel of the LORD.
15 Hanki Josua'a ana vahera zamazeri fru nehuno, ozamahe zamatresage'za zamagranema mago zamarimpa hu'za manisaza zanku huvempa hunezmantege'za, Israeli kva vahe'mo'zanena hu'za amama huhagerafuna huvempa kea eri otregahune hu'naze.
And Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.
16 Ana huvempa kema Israeli vahe'mo'za huzamantetageno'a tagufa zagegna evutege'za, henkama antahi'zana afeteti vahera zamagra ome'nazanki, tva'ozamire nemaniza vahe e'naze.
Three days after they had made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites learned that they were neighbors, living among them.
17 Hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za oti'za tagufa zagegnafi kana vu'za ana vahe'mokizmi kumatmintera uhanati'naze. Ana ran kumatmina, Gibionima, Kefirama, Birotima, Kiriati Jearimi kumapinti vahere.
So the Israelites set out and on the third day arrived at their cities—Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
18 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za hara huozamante'naze. Na'ankure Israeli kva vahe'mo'za, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamofo avufi mago zamarimpa hu'za manisaza zamofo kema huvempama hu'naza kegu antahi'za ozamahe'naze. Ana hazage'za maka Israeli vahe'mo'za kva vahe'zamigura mago zamarimpa huozamante'za ke hakare hu'naze.
But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the leaders.
19 Hianagi mika Israeli kva vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za zamasami'naze, Mago tarimpama huta manigahune huta huvempa kea, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamofo avufi huvempa hu'nonanki menina zamagritera mago'zana osugahune.
All the leaders answered, “We have sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel, and now we cannot touch them.
20 Hanki tagra amanahu huzmantegahune, ozamahe zamatresunke'za manigahaze. Na'ankure tagrama huvempa huzmante'nona kema eri atresunana Anumzamo'a tazeri haviza hugahie.
This is how we will treat them: We will let them live, so that no wrath will fall on us because of the oath we swore to them.”
21 Hianagi kva vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera mago'ene zamasami'za amanage hu'naze, Zamatrenke'za mani'ne'za Israeli vahera tevene tine kato huzami vahe maniho. Hagi kva vahe'mo'zama huvempama huzmante'naza kante ante'za ozamahe zamatrage'za mani'naze.
They continued, “Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers for the whole congregation.” So the leaders kept their promise.
22 Anante Josua'a Gibioni vahera kehige'za azageno amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra na'ante tagrira reravatga hutma, tvaontirema nemaniza naga'mota, afete kotegati e'none hutma hu'naze?
Then Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said, “Why did you deceive us by telling us you live far away from us, when in fact you live among us?
23 Tamagra havige hu'nagu Anumzamo'a tamazeri haviza hugahie. Ana hanigetma maka zupa nagri Anumzamofo mono nompi kazokzo eri'za vahe mani'neta, tinteve hurami vava hugahaze.
Now therefore you are under a curse and will perpetually serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”
24 Hanki Gibioni vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za Josuana asami'naze, tagrama antahunama Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo eri'za ne'a Mosesena asami'no, ama ana mopa miko zamigahuanki ana mopafima ufresutma anampima mani'naza vahera maka zamahe vagareho huno hu'negu, tamagrikura tusi koro nehuta ana havigea hu'none.
The Gibeonites answered, “Your servants were told clearly that the LORD your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land and wipe out all its inhabitants before you. So we greatly feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we have done this.
25 Ana hu'nonanagi menina kagri kzampi mani'nonku, nazano hurante'naku'ma hanana zana amne huranto.
Now we are in your hands. Do to us whatever seems good and right to you.”
26 Hanki Josua'a Gibioni vahera zamaza hige'za, Israeli naga'mo'za ozamahe zamatre'naze.
So Joshua did this and delivered them from the hands of the Israelites, and they did not kill the Gibeonites.
27 Hianagi Josua'a ana Gibioni vahera huzmanteno menintetima agafama hanazana, Israeli vahe'mokizmi tintevema katoma huzmi vahe nemanita, inantego Israeli vahe'ma vanaregama Ra Anumzamo'ma huhamprino amare monora hihoma hanire'ene tintevea huzamigahaze. Hige'za Gibioni vahe'mo'za ana zamavu'zamavara meninena hu'za neaze. (2 Sam 21).
On that day he made them woodcutters and water carriers, as they are to this day for the congregation of the LORD and for the altar at the place He would choose.
