Joshua 9
1 And it came to pass, 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, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite-heard of it,
Егда же услышаша вси царие Аморрейстии, иже об ону страну Иордана, иже в горней и иже в равней, и иже во всем примории моря великаго и иже при Антиливане, и Хеттеи и Аморреи, и Гергесеи и Хананеи, и Ферезеи и Евеи и Иевусеи,
2 that they gathered themselves together to fight with Joshua and with Israel with one accord.
снидошася вкупе сещися со Иисусом и со Израилем единомысленно.
3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
И живущии в холме в Гаваоне слышаша вся, елика сотвори Господь Иерихону и Гаю,
4 they also worked shrewdly, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their donkeys, and wine-skins, old and torn and bound up,
и сотвориша и сии с лукавством, и шедше уготоваша брашна и уготовашася: и вземше вретища ветха на ослы своя, и мехи вина ветхи и разседшыяся завязаны:
5 and old and patched shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon them, and all the bread of their provision was dry and became moldy.
и сапоги ветхи и заплачены на ногу их, и ризы обветшаны на них, и хлебы брашна их беша пресохли и сплеснели и сдроблени.
6 And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country, now therefore make ye a covenant with us.
И приидоша ко Иисусу в полк Израилев в Галгалы, и рекоша ко Иисусу и всему Израилю: от земли дальния приидохом, и ныне завещайте нам завет.
7 And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, Perhaps ye dwell among us, and how shall we make a covenant with you?
И рекоша сынове Израилевы к Хоррею: виждь, не посреде ли нас живеши, и како тебе завещаю завет?
8 And they said to Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said to them, Who are ye, and from where do ye come?
И рекоша ко Иисусу: раби есмы твои. И рече к ним Иисус: откуду есте? И откуду приидосте?
9 And they said to him, From a very far country. Thy servants have come because of the name of Jehovah thy God, for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
И рекоша к нему: от дальния земли зело приидохом раби твои во имя Господа Бога твоего: слышахом бо имя Его и вся, елика сотвори во Египте,
10 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.
и вся, елика сотвори двоим царем Аморрейским, иже быша об ону страну Иордана, Сиону царю Есевонску и Огу царю Васанску, иже живяше во Астарофе и во Едраине.
11 And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants, and now make ye a covenant with us.
И слышавше рекоша к нам старцы наши и вси живущии на земли нашей, глаголюще: возмите себе брашно на путь и идите противу им, и рцыте к ним: раби есмы ваши, и ныне завещайте нам завет:
12 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you, but now, behold, it is dry, and has become moldy.
сии хлебы наши, теплыя на путь взяхом их от домов наших, в оньже день изыдохом приити к вам: ныне же пресхоша и быша содроблени:
13 And these wine-skins, which we filled, were new, and, behold, they are torn. And these our garments and our shoes have become old by reason of the very long journey.
и сии меси вина, ихже налияхом новы, и сии разседошася: и ризы нашя сия и обувища наша обетшаша от долгаго пути зело.
14 And the men took of their provision, and did not ask counsel at the mouth of Jehovah.
И взяша князи брашно их, а Господа не вопросиша.
15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them to let them live, and the rulers of the congregation swore to them.
И сотвори Иисус с ними мир, и устави к ним завет, еже снабдети их: и кляшася им князи сонма.
16 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 among them.
И бысть по триех днех по завещании к ним завета, услышаша, яко близ их суть и яко посреде их живут.
17 And the sons of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
И восташа сынове Израилевы и внидоша во грады их в третий день: гради же их (бяху) Гаваон и Кефира, и Вирот и град Иарим.
18 And the sons of Israel did not smite them, because the rulers of the congregation had sworn to them by Jehovah, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the rulers.
И не сотвориша с ними рати (Иисус и) сынове Израилевы, яко кляшася им вси князи сонма Господем Богом Израилевым. И ропташа весь сонм Израилев на князей.
19 But all the rulers said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by Jehovah, the God of Israel, now therefore we may not touch them.
И рекоша вси князи всему сонму: мы кляхомся им Господем Богом Израилевым, и ныне не возможем коснутися их:
20 This we will do to them, and let them live, lest wrath be upon us because of the oath which we swore to them.
сие сотворим им, еже живити их, и снабдим их, и не будет на нас гнева клятвы ради, еюже кляхомся им.
21 And the rulers said to them, Let them live. So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the rulers had spoken to them.
И рекоша им князи: да живут сии, и будут древосечцы и водоносцы всему сонму. И сотвори весь сонм, якоже рекоша им князи.
22 And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you, when ye dwell among us?
И созва их Иисус и рече им, глаголя: почто прельстисте мя, глаголюще: далече есмы от тебе зело? Вы же населницы есте от живущих в нас:
23 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall never fail to be bondmen of you, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
и ныне прокляти есте: и не оскудеет от вас раб, ниже древосечец, ниже водоносец мне и Богу моему.
24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that Jehovah 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 very afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
И отвещаша Иисусу, глаголюще: понеже возвестися нам (рабом твоим), елика заповеда Господь Бог твой Моисею рабу Своему, дати вам землю сию и потребити нас и вся живущыя на ней от лица вашего, сего ради убояхомся зело от душах наших от лица вашего, и сотворихом дело сие:
25 And now, behold, we are in thy hand. As it seems good and right to thee to do to us, do.
и ныне, се, мы подручни вам, якоже угодно есть вам, и якоже вам мнится, творите нам.
26 And so he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, that they did not kill them.
И сотвориша им сице: и избави я Иисус в той день от руку сынов Израилевых, и не убиша их.
27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Jehovah to this day in the place which he should choose.
И постави я Иисус в той день древосечцы и водоносцы всему сонму и олтарю Божию. Сего ради быша живущии в Гаваоне древосечцы и водоносцы олтарю Божию, даже до днешняго дне, и на месте еже аще изберет Господь.
