Jozuas 9
1 Un kad to dzirdēja visi ķēniņi, kas viņpus Jardānes bija, kalnos un ielejās un gar visu lielās jūras malu, Lībanum pretī, Hetieši un Amorieši, Ferezieši, Hivieši un Jebusieši,
And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;
2 Tad tie sapulcējās visi kopā, kauties ar Jozua un ar Israēli.
That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
3 Kad nu Gibeonas iedzīvotāji dzirdēja, ko Jozuas bija darījis ar Jēriku un ar Aju, tad tie arīdzan darīja viltu
And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
4 Un nogāja un likās vēstneši ejoši un ņēma vecus maisus uz saviem ēzeļiem,
They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their donkeys, and wine skins, old, and rent, and bound up;
5 Un vecus saplīsušus un lāpītus ādas vīna traukus, arī vecas un lāpītas kurpes savās kājās, un tiem bija arī vecas drēbes mugurā, un visa viņu ceļamaize bija sakaltusi un sapelējusi.
And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
6 Un tie gāja pie Jozuas Gilgalas lēģerī un sacīja uz to un uz Israēla vīriem: mēs no tālas zemes esam nākuši; tad dariet nu ar mums derību.
And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.
7 Tad Israēla vīri sacīja uz to Hivieti: varbūt, ka tu dzīvo mūsu vidū, kā tad mēs ar tevi varam darīt derību?
And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
8 Tad tie sacīja uz Jozua: mēs esam tavi kalpi. Tad Jozuas uz tiem sacīja: kas jūs esat un no kurienes jūs nākat?
And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
9 Tie uz viņu sacīja: tavi kalpi nākuši no varen tālas zemes, Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, vārda dēļ; jo mēs esam dzirdējuši Viņa slavu un visu, ko Viņš darījis Ēģiptes zemē.
And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of Yhwh thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
10 Un visu, ko Viņš darījis tiem diviem Amoriešu ķēniņiem, kas viņpus Jardānes bija, Sihonam, Hešbonas ķēniņam, un Ogam, Basanas ķēniņam, kas Astarotā dzīvoja.
And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
11 Tāpēc mūsu vecaji un visi, kas mūsu zemē dzīvo, uz mums runāja un sacīja: ņemiet savās rokās ceļamaizi un ejat viņiem pretī un sakāt uz tiem: mēs esam jūsu kalpi; un nu dariet ar mums derību.
Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.
12 Šo savu maizi mēs jaunu no savām mājām uz ceļu esam paņēmuši līdz, tai dienā, kad mēs izgājām pie jums nākt, bet redzi, nu tā sakaltusi un sapelējusi.
This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:
13 Un šie ādas vīna trauki, ko mēs pildījām, bija jauni, bet redzi, tie ir saplīsuši un šīs mūsu drēbes un mūsu kurpes ir vecas palikušas no tā varen tālā ceļa.
And these skins of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
14 Tad tie vīri ņēma no viņu ceļamaizes un nevaicāja Tā Kunga muti.
And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of Yhwh.
15 Un Jozuas derēja mieru ar tiem un darīja derību ar tiem, tos atstāt dzīvus, un tie draudzes virsnieki tiem zvērēja.
And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.
16 Un pēc trim dienām, kad tie derību ar tiem bija darījuši, tad tie dzirdēja, viņus no tuvienes esam un dzīvojam viņu vidū.
And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
17 Jo kad Israēla bērni cēlās, tad tie nāca trešā dienā pie viņu pilsētām. Bet viņu pilsētas bija Gibeona, Kavira un Beērote un Kiriat-Jearima.
And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath–jearim.
18 Un Israēla bērni tos nekāva, tāpēc ka draudzes virsnieki tiem bija zvērējuši pie Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva; tāpēc visa draudze kurnēja pret tiem virsniekiem.
And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by Yhwh God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
19 Tad visi tie virsnieki uz visu draudzi sacīja: mēs pie Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, tiem esam zvērējuši, tāpēc mēs tos nu nevaram aizskart.
But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by Yhwh God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
20 Bet mēs tiem darīsim tā: pametīsim tos dzīvus, ka nekāda dusmība pār mums nenāk tā zvēresta dēļ, ko mēs tiem esam zvērējuši.
This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.
21 Tad tie virsnieki uz tiem sacīja: lai paliek dzīvi; un tie bija malkas cirtēji un ūdens smēlēji visai draudzei, kā tie virsnieki tiem bija runājuši.
And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
22 Un Jozuas tos aicināja un uz tiem runāja sacīdams: kāpēc jūs mūs esat pievīluši sacīdami, mēs esam ļoti tālu no jums, - un jūs tomēr mūsu vidū dzīvojat?
And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?
23 Nu tad esat nolādēti, ka no jums netrūkst kalpu un malkas cirtēju un ūdens smēlēju priekš mūsu Dieva nama.
Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
24 Tie atbildēja Jozuam un sacīja: taviem kalpiem tapa stāstīts, ko Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, Mozum Savam kalpam, ir pavēlējis, ka Viņš jums visu to zemi grib dot, un visus tos, kas tai zemē dzīvo, no jūsu priekšas izdeldēt, tad mēs savas dzīvības dēļ ļoti bijāmies no jums un tā darījām.
And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that Yhwh thy 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 sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
25 Un nu redzi, mēs esam tavā rokā, dari mums, tā kā darīt tavās acīs rādās labi un taisni.
And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
26 Tad viņš tiem tā darīja un tos izglāba no Israēla bērnu rokas, ka tie tos nenokāva.
And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
27 Un Jozuas tai dienā tos nodeva draudzei par malkas cirtējiem un ūdens smēlējiem un priekš Tā Kunga altāra līdz šai dienai tai vietā, ko Viņš izredzētu.
And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Yhwh, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
