Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A LOHE na'lii a pau loa ma keia aoao o Ioredane, ma na mauna, a ma na awawa, a makai ma kahi e pili ana i ka moana nui ma ke alo o Lebanona, o ka Heta, a me ka Amora, a me ko Kanaana, a me ka Pereza, a me ka Heva, a me ka Iebusa,
1Now When these things were heard of, all the kings beyond the Jordan, that dwelt in the mountains and in the plains, in the places near the sea, and on the coasts of the great sea, they also that dwell by Libanus, the Hethite and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite,
2Alaila, hoakoakoa mai la lakou e kaua lokahi mai ia Iosua, a me ka Iseraela.
2Gathered themselves together, to fight against Josue and Israel with one mind, and one resolution.
3A lohe ka poe i noho ma Gibeona i ka mea a Iosua i hana'i ia Ieriko a me Ai,
3But they that dwelt in Gabaon, hearing all that Josue had done to Jericho and Hai:
4Alaila hana maalea iho la lakou, a hele aku la, hoomakaukau iho la i o na lakou; a lawe no hoi lakou i na puolo kahiko ma ko lakou mau hoki, a me na hueili waina kahiko, a ua haehae, a ua pahonoia;
4Cunningly devising took for themselves provisions, laying old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles rent and sewed up again,
5A me na kamaa kahiko, a hawele iho la ma ko lakou kapuwai, a aahu iho la i ka lole kahiko; a o ka berena, ka lakou ai, ua maloo a okaoka.
5And very old shoes, which for a show of age were clouted with patches, and old garments upon them: the leaves also, which they carried for provisions by the way, were hard, and broken into pieces:
6A hele mai la lakou io Iosua la, ma kahi a lakou i hoomoana'i ma Gilegala, i mai la ia ia, a me na kanaka o ka Iseraela, Ua hele mai nei makou, mai ka aina loihi mai; no ia mea, e hana kakou i olelo kuikahi.
6And they went to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him, and to all Israel with him: We are come from a far country, desiring to make peace with you. And the children of Israel answered them, and said:
7I aku la na kanaka o ka Iseraela i ka poe Heva, Ke noho nei paha oukou iwaena o makou: pehea la makou e hana'i me oukou i olelo kuikahi?
7Perhaps you dwell in the land which falls to our lot; if so, we can make no league with you.
8I mai la lakou ia Iosua, He poe kauwa makou nau. I aku la o Iosua ia lakou, Owai oukou? a mai hea mai oukou i hele mai nei?
8But they said to Josue: We are thy servants. Josue said to them: Who are you? and whence came you?
9I mai la lakou ia ia, O kau poe kauwa nei, ua hele mai makou, mai ka aina loihi loa mai, no ka inoa o Iehova o kou Akua: no ka mea, ua lohe makou i kona kaulana ana, a me na mea a pau ana i hana'i ma Aigupita,
9They answered: From a very far country thy servants are come in the name of the Lord thy God. For we have heard the fame of his power, all the things that he did in Egypt.
10A me na mea a pau ana i hana aku ai i na'lii elua o ka Amora, mao aku o Ioredane, ia Sihona, ke alii o Hesebona, a me Oga, ke alii o Basana, aia ma Asetarota.
10And to the two kings of the Amorrhites that were beyond the Jordan, Sehon king of Hesebon, and Og king of Basan, that was in Astaroth:
11Nolaila i olelo mai ai ko makou poe lunakahiko, a me ka poe a pau i noho i ko makou aina, i mai la ia makou, E lawe oukou ma ko oukou lima i o na oukou ma ke ala, a e hele e halawai me lakou, a e i aku ia lakou, O ka oukou kauwa makou, e hana kakou i olelo kuikahi.
11And our ancients, and all the inhabitants of our country said to us: Take with you victuals for a long way, and go meet them, and say: We are your servants, make ye a league with us.
12O keia berena a makou, o ka makou o noloko mai o ko makou hale, ua hoomakaukau hou ia no makou, i ko makou la i hele mai ai e halawai me oukou, aia hoi, ua maloo, a ua helelei.
12Behold, these leaves we took hot, when we set out from our houses to come to you, now they are become dry, and broken in pieces, by being exceeding old.
13O keia mau hueili waina hoi, a makou i ukuhi hou ai, aia, ua nahaehae. A o keia mau aahu o makou, a me ko makou kamaa, ua weluwelu, no ka loihi loa o ke ala.
13These bottles of wine when we filled them were new, now they are rent and burst. These garments we have on, and the shoes we have on our feet, by reason of the very long journey are worn out, and almost consumed.
14Lawe no na kanaka i ka lakou ai, aole hoi i ninau aku ma ka waha o Iehova.
14They took therefore of their victuals, and consulted not the mouth of the Lord.
15Hoomalu aku la o Iosua ia lakou, a hana iho la i olelo kuikahi me lakou, e ola'i lakou; a hoohiki aku la na luna o ka Iseraela ia lakou.
15And Josue made peace with them, and entering into a league promised that they should not be slain: the princes also of the multitude swore to them.
16A mahope iho, i ka pau ana o na la ekolu, mai ka wa mai o ka lakou hana ana i ka olelo kuikahi, alaila lohe o Iosua ma, he kamaaina lakou, a ua noho pu me lakou.
16Now three days after the league was made, they heard that they dwelt nigh, and they should be among them.
17Hele ae la na mamo a Iseraela, a po akolu hiki i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale. Eia ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, o Gibeona, o Hepira, o Beerota a me Kiriatiarima.
17And the children of Israel removed the camp, and came into their cities on the third day, the names of which are Gabaon, and Caphira, and Beroth, and Cariathiarim.
18Aole i pepehi aku na mamo a Iseraela, no ka mea, ua hoohiki ia lakou na luna o ka Iseraela, ma Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela. Ohumu iho la na kanaka a pau i na luna.
18And they slew them not, because the princes of the multitude had sworn in the name of the Lord the God of Israel. Then all the common people murmured against the princes.
19Aka, olelo mai la na luna a pau i kanaka a pau, Ua hoohiki no makou ia lakou, ma Iehova, ke Akua o Iseraela. Nolaila aole pono e hoopa aku kakou ia lakou.
19And they answered them: We have sworn to them in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, and therefore we may not touch them.
20Eia ka kakou e hana aku ai ia lakou. E hoola no kakou ia lakou, o huhuia mai kakou, no ka hoohiki ana a makou i hoohiki ai ia lakou.
20But this we mill do to them: Let their lives be saved, lest the wrath of the Lord be stirred up against us, if we should be forsworn.
21I mai la na luna i ka Iseraela, E ola no lakou, aka, e lilo no lakou i poe kalai laau, a i poe huki wai, no ke anainakanaka a pau, e like me ka na luna i olelo aku ai ia lakou.
21But so let them live, as to serve the whole multitude in hewing wood, and bringing in water. As they were speaking these things,
22Kii aku la o Iosua ia lakou, ninau aku la, me ka i ana aku ia lakou, No ke aha la oukou i nolu mai ai a puni makou, me ka olelo mai, Ua loihi aku makou, mai o oukou aku; a eia hoi oukou, ke noho nei iwaena o makou?
22Josue called the Gabaonites and said to them: Why would you impose upon us, saying: We dwell far off from you, whereas you are in the midst of us?
23No ia mea e poino auanei oukou, aole loa e kuuia kekahi o oukou; e lilo no oukou i poe kauwa, a i poe kalai laau, a i poe huki wai, no ka hale o ko'u Akua.
23Therefore you shall be under a curse, and your race shall always be hewers of wood, and carriers of water unto the house of my God.
24Olelo mai lakou ia Iosua, i mai la, No ka hai maopopo ia mai i kau poe kauwa nei, ka mea a Iehova kou Akua i kauoha mai ai i kana kauwa ia Mose, e haawi mai i ka aina a pau no oukou, a e luku hoi i na kanaka a pau o ka aina, imua o oukou; nolaila, i makau loa ai makou i ko makou ola, no oukou, a ua hana hoi i keia mea.
24They answered: It was told us thy servants, that the Lord thy God had promised his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants thereof. Therefore we feared exceedingly and provided for our lives. compelled by the dread we had of you and we took this counsel.
25Eia hoi makou iloko o kou lima; a o ka mea pono a pololei hoi i kou manao, o kau ia e hana mai ai ia makou.
25And now we are in thy hand: deal with us as it seemeth good and right unto thee.
26A pela no ia i hana aku ai ia lakou, a hoopakele ia lakou, mai ka lima ae o na mamo a Iseraela, i pepehi ole aku lakou.
26So Josue did as he had said, and delivered them from the hand of the children of Israel, that they should not be slain.
27Ia la, hoolilo iho la o Iosua ia lakou i poe kalai laau, a i poe huki wai no na kanaka, a no ke kuahu o Iehova, ma kahi ana i makemake ai, pela no, a hiki loa mai i neia la.
27And he gave orders in that day that they should be in the service of all the people, and of the altar of the Lord, hewing wood and carrying water, until this present time, in the place which the Lord hath chosen.
