Josue 9
1 Ket dagiti amin nga ari nga agnanaed iti ballasiw ti Jordan iti katurodan a pagilian, ken kadagiti kapatadan iti igid ti Dakkel a Baybay nga agturong idiay Libano- dagiti Heteo, Amorreo, Cananeo, Perezeo, Heveo ken Jebuseo-
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 nagsangsangkamaysa dagitoy iti maysa a bilin, tapno makigubat a maibusor kenni Josue ken iti Israel.
That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
3 Idi nangngeg dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Gabaon ti inaramid ni Josue iti Jerico ken iti Ai,
And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
4 nagtignayda nga addaan iti makaallilaw a panggep. Nagbalonda kadagiti abasto nga agpaay kadakuada ken nangalada kadagiti rutrot a sako ket insakayda kadagiti asnoda. Nangalada met kadagiti daan a lalat a pagkargaan iti arak, rutrot, pigis ken natarimaanen.
They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
5 Nangisuotda kadagiti daan ken natakupan a sandalias, ken nagkawesda iti daan ken rutrot a pagan-anay. Amin a tinapay iti abastoda a makan ket namaga ken binuot.
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 Kalpasanna, napanda kenni Josue iti kampo idiay Gilgal ket kinunada kenkuana ken kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Nagdaliasatkami manipud iti adayo unay a pagilian, isu a makitulagkayo ita kadakami.”
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 Kinuna dagiti tattao ti Israel kadagiti Heveo, “Nalabit nga agnanaedkayo iti asidegmi. Kasano a makitinnulagkami kadakayo?”
And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
8 Kinunada kenni Josue, “Dakami dagiti adipenmo.” Kinuna ni Josue kadakuada, “Siasinokayo? Sadino ti naggapuanyo?”
And they said unto Joshua, We [are] thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who [are] ye? and from whence come ye?
9 Kinunada kenkuana, “Immay ditoy dagiti adipenmo manipud iti adayo unay a daga, babaen iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosmo. Nangngegmi ti damag maipanggep kenkuana ken ti maipanggep iti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna idiay Egipto-
And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
10 ken ti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna iti dua nga ari dagiti Amorreo iti ballasiw ti Jordan- kenni Sihon nga ari ti Hesbon, ken ni Og nga ari ti Basan nga adda idiay Astarot.
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 Kinuna kadakami dagiti panglakayenmi ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti pagilianmi, 'Mangalakayo iti balon nga agpaay iti panagdaliasatyo. Mapanyo ida sabaten ket kunaenyo kadakuada, “Dakami dagiti adipenyo. Makitulagkayo kadakami.”
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 Daytoy ti tinapaymi, napudot pay laeng idi innalami daytoy manipud kadagiti babbalaymi iti aldaw a nagrubbuatkami nga umay kadakayo. Ngem ita, kitaenyo, namagan ken binuoten daytoy.
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 Barbaro dagitoy a lalat a pagkargaan iti arak idi pinunnomi dagitoy, ket kitaenyo, adda bittaknan dagitoyen. Dimmaanen dagiti pagan-anaymi ken dagiti sandaliasmi gapu iti atiddog unay a panagdaliasatmi.'”
And these bottles 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 Nangala ngarud dagiti Israelita iti sumagmamano kadagiti balonda, ngem saanda a nakiuman kenni Yahweh no ania ti rumbeng nga aramidenda.
And the men took of their victuals, and asked not [counsel] at the mouth of the LORD.
15 Nakikappia ni Josue kadakuada ken napasnek a nagkari a napatalgedan iti dara, a palubosanna ida nga agbiag. Nagsapata met kadakuada dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao.
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 Tallo nga aldaw kalpasan ti pannakitulag dagiti Israelita kadakuada, naammoanda a kaarrubada gayam ida ken agnanaedda iti asideg.
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 Nagrubbuat ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel ket dimtengda iti siudadda iti maikatlo nga aldaw. Dagiti siudadda ket Gabaon, Kefira, Beerot ken Kiriat Jearim.
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 Saan ida a rinaut dagiti tattao ti Israel gapu ta nagsapata dagiti mangidadaulo kadakuada maipanggep kadakuada iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel. Nagtanabutob dagiti amin nga Israelita a maibusor kadagiti mangidadaulo kadakuada.
And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
19 Ngem kinuna dagiti amin a mangidadaulo kadagiti amin a tattao, “Nagsapatatayo maipapan kadakuada babaen kenni Yahweh, ti Dios ti Israel, ket saantayo ita a mabalin a dangran ida.
But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
20 Daytoy ti aramidentayo kadakuada: Tapno maliklikantayo ti aniaman a pungtot a mabalin nga umay kadatayo gapu iti kari nga insapatatayo kadakuada, palubosantayo ida nga agbiag.”
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 Kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattaoda, “Palubosanyo ida nga agbiag.” Nagbalin ngarud dagiti taga-Gabaon a para-balsig ken para-sakdo nga agpaay kadagiti amin nga Israelita, a kas kinuna dagiti mangidadaulo maipanggep kadakuada.
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 Pinaayaban ida ni Josue ket kinunana, “Apay nga inallilawdakami idi kinunayo 'Adayokami unay kadakayo', idinto a makipagnanaedkayo met gayam kadakami?
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 Ita, gapu iti daytoy, nailunodkayo ket kanayonto a tagabu dagiti dadduma kadakayo, dagiti para-balsig ken para-sakdo nga agpaay iti balay ti Diosko.”
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 Simmungbatda kenni Josue ket kinunada, “Gapu ta naibaga kadagiti adipenyo a binilin ni Yahweh a Diosyo ni Moises nga adipenna nga itedna kadakayo dagiti amin a daga, ken tapno dadaelenyo dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga iti sangoananyo- isu a nagbutengkami unay para kadagiti bibiagmi gapu kadakayo. Isu nga inaramidmi daytoy a banag.
And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD 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 Kitaem ita, tengngelnakami iti pannakabalinmo. Aniaman nga ipagarupmo a nasayaat ken nalinteg nga aramidem kadakami, aramidem daytoy.”
And now, behold, we [are] in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
26 Inaramid ngarud ni Josue daytoy para kadakuada: inikkatna ida manipud iti panangituray dagiti tattao ti Israel, ken saan ida a pinapatay dagiti Israelita.
And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
27 Iti dayta nga aldaw, pinagbalin ni Josue dagiti taga-Gabaon a para-balsig ken para-sakdo nga agpaay kadagiti tattao, ken agpaay iti altar ni Yahweh, agingga ita nga aldaw, iti lugar a pilien ni Yahweh.
And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
