Joshua 9
1 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
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,
2 they gathered themselves together to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
Tad tie sapulcējās visi kopā, kauties ar Jozua un ar Israēli.
3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
Kad nu Gibeonas iedzīvotāji dzirdēja, ko Jozuas bija darījis ar Jēriku un ar Aju, tad tie arīdzan darīja viltu
4 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 wine skins,
Un nogāja un likās vēstneši ejoši un ņēma vecus maisus uz saviem ēzeļiem,
5 and old and patched sandals on their feet, and wore old garments. All the bread of their food supply was dry and moldy.
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.
6 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.”
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.
7 The men of Israel said to the Hivites, “What if you live among us? How could we make a covenant with you?”
Tad Israēla vīri sacīja uz to Hivieti: varbūt, ka tu dzīvo mūsu vidū, kā tad mēs ar tevi varam darīt derību?
8 They said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Joshua said to them, “Who are you? Where do you come from?”
Tad tie sacīja uz Jozua: mēs esam tavi kalpi. Tad Jozuas uz tiem sacīja: kas jūs esat un no kurienes jūs nākat?
9 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,
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.
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.
Un visu, ko Viņš darījis tiem diviem Amoriešu ķēniņiem, kas viņpus Jardānes bija, Sihonam, Hešbonas ķēniņam, un Ogam, Basanas ķēniņam, kas Astarotā dzīvoja.
11 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.”’
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.
12 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 moldy.
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.
13 These wine skins, 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.”
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.
14 The men sampled their provisions, and did not ask counsel from the LORD’s mouth.
Tad tie vīri ņēma no viņu ceļamaizes un nevaicāja Tā Kunga muti.
15 Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live. The princes of the congregation swore to them.
Un Jozuas derēja mieru ar tiem un darīja derību ar tiem, tos atstāt dzīvus, un tie draudzes virsnieki tiem zvērēja.
16 At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they lived among them.
Un pēc trim dienām, kad tie derību ar tiem bija darījuši, tad tie dzirdēja, viņus no tuvienes esam un dzīvojam viņu vidū.
17 The children of Israel traveled and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim.
Jo kad Israēla bērni cēlās, tad tie nāca trešā dienā pie viņu pilsētām. Bet viņu pilsētas bija Gibeona, Kavira un Beērote un Kiriat-Jearima.
18 The children of Israel did not 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.
Un Israēla bērni tos nekāva, tāpēc ka draudzes virsnieki tiem bija zvērējuši pie Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva; tāpēc visa draudze kurnēja pret tiem virsniekiem.
19 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.
Tad visi tie virsnieki uz visu draudzi sacīja: mēs pie Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, tiem esam zvērējuši, tāpēc mēs tos nu nevaram aizskart.
20 We will do this to them, and let them live; lest wrath be on us, because of the oath which we swore to them.”
Bet mēs tiem darīsim tā: pametīsim tos dzīvus, ka nekāda dusmība pār mums nenāk tā zvēresta dēļ, ko mēs tiem esam zvērējuši.
21 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.
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.
22 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 among us?
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?
23 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.”
Nu tad esat nolādēti, ka no jums netrūkst kalpu un malkas cirtēju un ūdens smēlēju priekš mūsu Dieva nama.
24 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.
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.
25 Now, behold, we are in your hand. Do to us as it seems good and right to you to do.”
Un nu redzi, mēs esam tavā rokā, dari mums, tā kā darīt tavās acīs rādās labi un taisni.
26 He did so to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, so that they did not kill them.
Tad viņš tiem tā darīja un tos izglāba no Israēla bērnu rokas, ka tie tos nenokāva.
27 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.
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.
