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,

And when these things were heard, all the kings across the Jordan, who lived among the mountains and plains, along the coastline and shores of the great sea, also those who were living near Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,

2 ana maka'mo'za eri mago hu'za Josuane Israeli vahera ha' huzmante'naku hu'naze.

gathered themselves together, so that they might fight against Joshua and Israel, with one mind and with the same resolve.

3 Hianagi Gibioni vahe'mo'za Josuama Jerikone Ai rankuma'enema zamazeri havizama hu'nea zamofo agenkema nentahi'za,

But those who were living in Gibeon, hearing all that 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,

planning cleverly, took for themselves provisions, placing old sacks upon their donkeys, and wineskins that had torn and been sewed up,

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.

and having very old shoes, which had been sewn with patches indicating their age, and being clothed in old garments, having also loaves, which they carried as food for the journey, which were hard and broken into pieces.

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.

And they traveled to Joshua, who at that time was staying in the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him, and to all of Israel with him, “We have come from a far away land, desiring to make peace with you.” And the sons of Israel responded to them, and said,

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.

“Perhaps instead, you live in the land which ought to be ours by lot, and we would be unable to form a pact 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?

But they said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” And Joshua said to them: “But who are you? And where are you 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,

They responded: “Your servants have arrived, from a very far away land, in the name of the Lord, your God. For we have heard about the fame of his power, all the things that he has done 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 to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan: Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, who was at 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.

And our elders, and all the inhabitants of our land, have said to us: ‘Take in hand provisions for the very long journey, and meet with them, and say: We are your servants; form a pact 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.

Lo, the loaves were taken up warm when we departed from our houses, so that we might come to you. Now they have become dry and broken, due to age.

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, now they are torn and broken. The garments we are wearing, and the shoes we have on our feet, due to the great length of the distance, have become worn and are nearly consumed.”

14 Anante Israeli vahe'mo'za ana nezantamina eri'za ke'nazanagi, Ra Anumzamofona antahige'za knare antahi'zana e'ori'naze.

And so they accepted this, because of their provisions, and they did not consult the mouth 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 peace with them, and entering into a pact, he promised that they would not be put to death. The leaders of the multitude also swore 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.

Then, three days after the pact was formed, they heard that they lived in the vicinity, and that they would soon be 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.

And so the sons of Israel moved the camp, and they arrived at their cities on the third day, those which are called: Gibeon, and Chephirah, and 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.

And they did not strike them, because the leaders of the multitude had sworn to them in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. And so all of the common people murmured 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.

And they responded to them: “We have sworn to them in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, and for that reason, we are not able to 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.

But we shall do this to them: Certainly, let them be preserved so that they may live, lest the wrath of the Lord be stirred up against us, since we would have sworn falsely.

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.

But though they live, let them serve the entire multitude by cutting wood and carrying water.” And while they were discussing these things,

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?

Joshua called the Gibeonites, and he said to them: “Why would you be willing to deceive us by fraud, saying, ‘We live very far away from you,’ when you are in our midst?

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.

Therefore, you shall be under a curse, and your stock shall not cease to be cutters of wood and carriers of water, into 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.

And they responded: “It was reported to us, your servants, that the Lord your God had promised his servant Moses that he would give you the entire land, and that he would destroy all its inhabitants. Therefore, we were very afraid, and we made a provision for our lives, compelled by the dread of you, and we undertook this counsel.

25 Ana hu'nonanagi menina kagri kzampi mani'nonku, nazano hurante'naku'ma hanana zana amne huranto.

And now we are in your hand. Act toward us as it seems good and right to you.”

26 Hanki Josua'a Gibioni vahera zamaza hige'za, Israeli naga'mo'za ozamahe zamatre'naze.

Therefore, Joshua did just as he had said, and he freed them from the hand of the sons of Israel, so that they would not be killed.

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).

And he decreed on that day, that they would be in the ministry of all the people and of the altar of the Lord, cutting wood and carrying water, even until this present time, in the place which the Lord had chosen.
