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 that were on this side of the Jordan, in the mountain, and in the lowlands, and in all the coast of the great sea opposite Lebanon, the Hittites, and the Emorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, heard this,
2 Tad tie sapulcējās visi kopā, kauties ar Jozua un ar Israēli.
That they assembled themselves all 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 Gib'on heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and unto 'Ai,
4 Un nogāja un likās vēstneši ejoši un ņēma vecus maisus uz saviem ēzeļiem,
They also did work wilily, and went and feigned to be messengers, and took old sacks for their asses, and wine-bottles, 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 [put] old and patched-up shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon themselves; 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 are come from a far-off country; and now make ye a covenant 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 in the midst of us; and how can we make a covenant 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 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-off country are thy servants come, because of the name of the Lord thy God; for we have heard his fame, and all that he hath done 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 hath done to the two kings of the Emorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and to 'Og the king of Bashan, who 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 said to us, as followeth, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, Your servants are we: and now make ye with us a covenant.
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; and now, behold, it is dry, and it is become 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 wine-bottles, which we filled, when new, — but behold, they are now become rent; and these our garments and our shoes are become worn out 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 provisions, but the decision of the Lord they did not ask.
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 covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore 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 covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt in the midst of 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 broke up, and came unto their cities on the third day; and their cities were Gib'on, and Kephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiryath-ye'arim.
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 the Lord, the God of Israel; but 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.
And all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the Lord the God of Israel: and now we cannot 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 will we do to them, and we will let them live, that there be no wrath upon us, on account of the oath which we have sworn 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: and they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken unto 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 spoke unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you: whereas ye dwell in the midst of us?
23 Nu tad esat nolādēti, ka no jums netrūkst kalpu un malkas cirtēju un ūdens smēlēju priekš mūsu Dieva nama.
And now be ye cursed, and there shall not cease to be of you servants 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 the Lord thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; wherefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and we 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 thy hand; as it seemeth good and right in thy eyes to do unto us, so do.
26 Tad viņš tiem tā darīja un tos izglāba no Israēla bērnu rokas, ka tie tos nenokāva.
And he did unto them thus; and he delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, and 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 appointed them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, for the place which he should choose.
