1 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻaia naʻe ʻi he potu mai ni ʻo Sioatani, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, mo e ngaahi teleʻa, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻoe tahi lahi ʻoku hangatonu atu ki Lepanoni, ko e kau Heti, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ai;
約旦河西,住在山地和平原並沿大海一帶直到黎巴嫩山上的眾王子,即赫特人、阿摩黎人、客納罕人、堷黎齊人、希威人和耶步斯人,聽見了這些事,
2 Naʻa nau fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu, kenau tauʻi loto taha pē ʻa Siosiua, mo ʻIsileli.
聯合起來,同心協力對抗若蘇厄和以色人。
3 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai ʻo Kipione ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe Siosiua ki Seliko, pea mo ʻAi,
基貝紅居民聽說若蘇厄對耶利哥和哈依所行的事,
4 Naʻa nau fai fakakākā, ʻonau ʻalu ʻo fai ʻo hangē ko ha kau tangata talafekau ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻai ʻae ngaahi kato motuʻa ki heʻenau fanga ʻasi, mo e ngaahi hina uaine, kuo motuʻa, mo mahae, kuo nonoʻo ʻo ʻoposi:
便設詭許帶著行糧上路將一些舊布袋和破裂縫補的舊酒囊馱在驢上;
5 Mo e ngaahi topuvaʻe motuʻa kuo monomono ki honau vaʻe, pea ʻai mo e ngaahi kofu motuʻa kiate kinautolu: pea ko e ma kotoa pē ʻo honau ʻoho naʻe mōmoa mo tuʻungafulufulua.
腳上穿著補過的破鞋,身上穿著襤褸的衣服;所帶的食物,又乾又碎,
6 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu kia Siosiua ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻi Kilikali, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, pea ki he kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli, “Kuo mau haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo: pea ko eni te tau alea mo kimoutolu.”
來到基耳加耳營中見若蘇厄;對他和以色列人說:「我們是遠方來的,現在請你們與我們立約。」
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻIsileli ki he kau Hevi, “Naʻa ko e kakai ʻoku tau nonofo ni ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻe fēfē ʻemau lea ke lelei mo kimoutolu?”
以色列對這些希威人說:「你們也許是我們附近的居民,我們怎能同你們立約﹖」
8 Pea naʻa nau tala kia Siosiua, “Ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu. Pea pehē ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻakimoutolu? Pea kuo mou haʻu mei fē?”
他們回答若蘇厄說:「我們是你的僕人。」若蘇厄問他們說:「你們是什麼人﹖是從那裏來的﹖」
9 Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Kuo haʻu hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki mei he fonua mamaʻo, ko e meʻa ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: he kuo mau fanongo ki hono ongoongo, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi ʻIsipite.
他們答說:「你的僕人是因為聽了上主你們天主的名聲,由極遠的地方來的,因為我們聽見人 談及衪的聲望,和衪在埃及所行的一切,
10 Mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ki he ongo tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻakinaua naʻe ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻa Hesiponi, pea kia Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻAsitelote.
以及衪對住在約旦河東的的兩阿摩黎王:即赫市朋王息紅和阿市塔洛特的巴商王敖格所行的一切。
11 Ko ia naʻe lea ai ʻemau kau mātuʻa mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo homau fonua, ʻo pehē, Toʻo ʻae meʻakai ki homou fononga, pea ʻalu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate kinautolu, pea mou pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu: ko ia fokotuʻu hoʻomou fekau kiate kimautolu.
為此,我們的長老和我們本地的居民,對我們說:你們手中拿些路用的食物,去迎接以色列人;對他們說:我們是你們的僕人,現在請你們與我們立約。
12 Ko ʻemau ma ni naʻa mau toʻo mafana pe mei homau ngaahi fale ko homau ʻoho ʻi he ʻaho naʻa mau haʻu ai he mau hoko kiate kimoutolu; ka ko eni, vakai, kuo mōmoa ia, pea kuo tuʻungafulufulua.
看,這是我們的食物,我們從家中帶出來,要到你們這裏來的那天還熱,看,現在又乾又碎;
13 Pea ko e ngaahi hina ni ʻoe uaine, ʻaia naʻa mau fakafonu, ʻoku foʻou; pea vakai, kuo nau mahae: pea ko ʻemau ngaahi kofu ni, mo e ngaahi topuvaʻe kuo hoko ʻo motuʻa ko e mae ʻi he fononga lōloa ʻaupito.”
這就是我們的酒囊,才盛酒的時候還新,看,現在都破裂了;這是我們的衣服和鞋,為了路途遙遠,都穿爛了。」
14 Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻenau meʻakai, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau fehuʻi ʻi he fofonga ʻo Sihova.
以色列的首領便取了他們的行糧,並沒有請求上主的諭示;
15 Pea naʻe fai ʻae fakalelei ʻe Siosiua mo kinautolu, ʻo alea mo kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke tuku kenau moʻui: pea naʻe fuakava kiate kinautolu ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe fakataha.
若蘇厄便與他們修好,與他們立了約,讓他們生存,會眾的首領也向他們起了誓。
16 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene ʻosi mai ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu, hili ʻenau fai ʻae lea mo kinautolu, naʻa nau fanongo, tā ko e vāofi pe ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku nau nofo ofi kiate kinautolu.
但是,與他們立約後才過了三天,以色列人就聽說,他們是住在自己附近的居民。
17 Pea naʻe fononga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo hoko atu ki honau kolo ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho. Pea ko ʻenau ngaahi kolo, ko Kipione, mo Kifila, mo Piheloti, mo Kesa-Sialimi.
以色列子民於是動身,第三天便到了他們的城市:就是基貝紅、革非辣、貝洛特和克黎雅特耶阿陵。
18 Pea naʻe ʻikai teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e meʻa ʻi he houʻeiki ʻoe kakai naʻa nau fuakava kiate kinautolu ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli. Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko e houʻeiki.
但以色列子民沒有擊殺他們,因為會眾的首領指著上主,以色列的天主,對他們起過誓;但全會眾對他們的首領不滿。
19 Ka naʻe lea ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ki he kakai, “Kuo ʻosi ʻemau fuakava kiate kinautolu ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke mau ala kiate kinautolu.
眾首領對全會眾說:「我們既已指著上主以色列的天主對他們起誓,那麼我們決不能加害他們,
20 Te tau fai ʻae meʻa ni kiate kinautolu; tuku pe kenau moʻui, telia naʻa ʻiate kitautolu ʻae houhau, ko e meʻa ʻi he fuakava ʻaia kuo tau fai kiate kinautolu.
只有這樣做,就是讓他們生存下去,免得因我們對他們所起的誓,為我們招來上主的義怒。」
21 Pea naʻe tala ʻe he houʻeiki kiate kinautolu, Tuku kenau moʻui; kae hoko ʻakinautolu ko e kau tā fefie mo e kau ʻutu vai ki he kakai kotoa pē,” ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae houʻeiki kiate kinautolu.
首領又對民眾說:「讓他們生存下去,但他們應為全會眾劈柴挑水。」全會眾便遵照首領的話而行。
22 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua kenau haʻu, pea naʻe lea ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo mou kākā ai kiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē, ʻOku mau mamaʻo, ʻaupito meiate kimoutolu; kae tā ʻoku tau nonofo mo kimoutolu?
若蘇厄將基貝紅人召來,對他們說:「你們為什麼欺騙我們說:我們離你們很遠,其實你們就住在我們附近﹖
23 Pea ko eni, ʻoku malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai fakatauʻatāina hamou tokotaha mei he pōpula, ka ko e kau tā fefie mo e kau ʻutu vai ʻakimoutolu ki he fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua.”
從此你們應受詛咒,你們中間,決不斷有人在我天主的殿內,做劈柴挑水的勞役。」
24 Pea naʻa nau lea kia Siosiua ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fakahā ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻae fekau ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kia Mōsese ke foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua kotoa pē, pea ke mou fakaʻauha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua mei homou ʻao, ko ia naʻa mau manavahē lahi ai koeʻuhi ko ʻemau moʻui koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea ko ia kuo mau fai ai ʻae meʻa ni.
他們回答若蘇厄說:「你的僕人確實聽說:上主你的天主,曾吩咐衪的僕人梅瑟,要把這整塊土地賜給你們,並在你們面前,將這地方上的一切居民消滅;我們見你們前來,我們實在為我們的生命擔憂,所以才做了這事。
25 Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku mau ʻi ho nima: ke ke fai kiate kimautolu ʻaia ʻoku matamatalelei mo totonu kiate koe.”
現在,我們都在你手裏,你以為怎樣好,怎樣對,就怎樣對待我們吧! 」
26 Pea naʻa ne fai ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo fakahaofi ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
若蘇厄就這樣對待了他們:將他們由以色列人手中救出,不讓人加害他們。
27 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ko e kau tā fefie, mo e kau ʻutu vai ki he kakai ʻoe fakataha, pea ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻio, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni, ʻi he potu ko ia te ne fili.
當天就派定他們在上主選定的地方,為會眾,為上主的祭壇,劈柴挑水,直到今日。
