When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard of it

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

they gathered themselves together to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.

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

But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to 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,

they also resorted to a ruse, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks on their donkeys, and old, torn-up and bound up wineskins,

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 old and patched sandals on their feet, and wore old garments. All the bread of their food supply was dry and mouldy.

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 at the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country. Now therefore make a covenant 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.

The men of Israel said to the Hivites, “What if you live amongst us? How could we make a covenant 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?

They said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Joshua said to them, “Who are you? Where do 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,

They said to him, “Your servants have come from a very far country because of the name of the LORD your God; for we have heard of his fame, 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 who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og 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.

Our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take supplies in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them. Tell them, “We are your servants. Now make a covenant 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 our bread we took hot for our supplies out of our houses on the day we went out to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and has become mouldy.

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, which we filled, were new; and behold, they are torn. These our garments and our sandals have become old because of the 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.

The men sampled their provisions, and didn’t ask counsel from the LORD’s mouth.

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.

Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live. The princes of the congregation 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.

At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they lived amongst 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.

The children of Israel travelled and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were 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.

The children of Israel didn’t strike them, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. All the congregation murmured against the princes.

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.

But all the princes said to all the congregation, “We have sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. Now therefore we may not 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.

We will do this to them, and let them live; lest wrath be on us, because of the oath which 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.

The princes said to them, “Let them live.” So they became wood cutters and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the princes had spoken to them.

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 for them, and he spoke to them, saying, “Why have you deceived us, saying, ‘We are very far from you,’ when you live amongst 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 cursed, and some of you will never fail to be slaves, both wood cutters and drawers of water 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.

They answered Joshua, and said, “Because your servants were certainly told how the LORD your God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you. Therefore we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

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

Now, behold, we are in your hand. Do to us as it seems good and right to you to do.”

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

He did so to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, so that they didn’t kill them.

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).

That day Joshua made them wood cutters and drawers of water for the congregation and for the LORD’s altar to this day, in the place which he should choose.
