King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And 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;
1ΩΣ δὲ ἤκουσαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν Ἀμορραίων οἱ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, οἱ ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ καὶ οἱ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ παραλίᾳ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης καὶ οἱ πρὸς τῷ Ἀντιλιβάνῳ καὶ οἱ Χετταῖοι καὶ οἱ Χαναναῖοι καὶ οἱ Φερεζαῖοι καὶ οἱ Εὐαῖοι καὶ οἱ Ἀμορραῖοι καὶ οἱ Γεργεσαῖοι καὶ οἱ Ἰεβουσαῖοι,
2That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
2συνήλθοσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἐκπολεμῆσαι Ἰησοῦν καὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἅμα πάντες. 2α Τότε ᾠκοδόμησεν Ἰησοῦς θυσιαστήριον Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ὄρει Γαιβάλ, 2β καθότι ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς ὁ θεράπων Κυρίου τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, καθὰ γέγραπται ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωυσῆ, θυσιαστήριον λίθων ὁλοκλήρων, ἐφ' οὓς οὐκ ἐπεβλήθη σίδηρος, καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν ἐκεῖ ὁλοκαυτώματα Κυρίῳ καὶ θυσίαν σωτηρίου. 2γ καὶ ἔγραψεν Ἰησοῦς ἐπὶ τῶν λίθων τὸ δευτερονόμιον, νόμον Μωυσῆ, ὃν ἔγραψεν ἐνώπιον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ 2δ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ δικασταὶ καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς αὐτῶν παρεπορεύοντο ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ ἀπέναντι, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ᾖραν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου, καὶ ὁ προσήλυτος καὶ ὁ αὐτόχθων, οἳ ἦσαν ἥμισυ πλησίον ὄρους Γαριζίν, καὶ οἳ ἦσαν ἥμισυ πλησίον ὄρους Γαιβάλ, καθότι ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς ὁ θεράπων Κυρίου εὐλογῆσαι τὸν λαὸν ἐν πρώτοις. 2ε καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα οὕτως ἀνέγνω Ἰησοῦς πάντα τὰ ρήματα τοῦ νόμου τούτου, τὰς εὐλογίας καὶ τὰς κατάρας, κατὰ πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωυσῆ· 2ζ οὐκ ἦν ρῆμα ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς τῷ Ἰησοῖ, ὃ οὐκ ἀνέγνω Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὰ ὦτα πάσης ἐκκλησίας υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, τοῖς ἀνδράσι καὶ ταῖς γυναιξὶ καὶ τοῖς παιδίοις καὶ τοῖς προσηλύτοις τοῖς προσπορευομένοις τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
3¶ And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
3Καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Γαβαὼν ἤκουσαν πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησε Κύριος τῇ Ἱεριχὼ καὶ τῇ Γαί.
4They 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;
4καὶ ἐποίησαν καί γε αὐτοὶ μετὰ πανουργίας καὶ ἐλθόντες ἐπεσιτίσαντο καὶ ἡτοιμάσαντο καὶ λαβόντες σάκκους παλαιοὺς ἐπὶ τῶν ὄνων αὐτῶν καὶ ἀσκοὺς οἴνου παλαιοὺς καὶ κατερρωγότας ἀποδεδεμένους,
5And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
5καὶ τὰ κοῖλα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ σανδάλια αὐτῶν παλαιὰ καὶ καταπεπελματωμένα ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν. καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν πεπαλαιωμένα ἐπάνω αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ ἄρτος αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐπισιτισμοῦ ξηρὸς καὶ εὐρωτιῶν καὶ βεβρωμένος.
6And 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.
6καὶ ἤλθοσαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Γάλγαλα καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ Ἰσραήλ· ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν ἥκαμεν, καὶ νῦν διάθεσθε ἡμῖν διαθήκην.
7And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
7καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τὸν Χορραῖον· ὅρα μὴ ἐν ἐμοὶ κατοικεῖς, καὶ πῶς σοι διαθῶμαι διαθήκην;
8And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
8καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν· οἰκέται σού ἐσμεν. καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς· πόθεν ἐστὲ καὶ πόθεν παραγεγόνατε;
9And 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,
9καὶ εἶπαν· ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν σφόδρα ἥκασιν οἱ παῖδές σου ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου· ἀκηκόαμεν γὰρ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησεν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ
10And 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.
10καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησε τοῖς βασιλεῦσι τῶν Ἀμορραίων, οἳ ἦσαν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, τῷ Σηὼν βασιλεῖ τῶν Ἀμορραίων καὶ τῷ Ὢγ βασιλεῖ τῆς Βασάν, ὃς κατῴκει ἐν Ἀσταρὼθ καὶ ἐν Ἐδραΐν.
11Wherefore 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.
11καὶ ἀκούσαντες εἶπαν πρὸς ἡμᾶς οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἡμῶν καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ἡμῶν λέγοντες· λάβετε ἑαυτοῖς ἐπισιτισμὸν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν καὶ πορεύθητε εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐρεῖτε πρὸς αὐτούς· οἰκέται σού ἐσμεν, καὶ νῦν διάθεσθε ἡμῖν τὴν διαθήκην.
12This 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:
12οὗτοι οἱ ἄρτοι, θερμοὺς ἐφωδιάσθημεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐξήλθομεν παραγενέσθαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς. νῦν δὲ ἐξηράνθησαν καὶ γεγόνασι βεβρωμένοι.
13And 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.
13καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἀσκοὶ τοῦ οἴνου, οὓς ἐπλήσαμεν καινούς, καὶ οὗτοι ἐρρώγασι· καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια ἡμῶν καὶ τὰ ὑποδήματα ἡμῶν πεπαλαίωται ἀπὸ τῆς πολλῆς ὁδοῦ σφόδρα.
14And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD .

20This 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.
20καὶ ἔλαβον οἱ ἄρχοντες τοῦ ἐπισιτισμοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ Κύριον οὐκ ἐπηρώτησαν.
21And 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.
21καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰρήνην καὶ διέθεντο πρὸς αὐτοὺς διαθήκην τοῦ διασῶσαι αὐτούς, καὶ ὤμοσαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς.
22¶ 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?
22καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας μετὰ τὸ διαθέσθαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς διαθήκην, ἤκουσαν ὅτι ἐγγύθεν αὐτῶν εἰσι, καὶ ὅτι ἐν αὐτοῖς κατοικοῦσι.
23Now 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.
23καὶ ἀπῇραν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν· αἱ δὲ πόλεις αὐτῶν Γαβαὼν καὶ Κεφιρὰ καὶ Βηρὼθ καὶ πόλεις Ἰαρίν.
24And 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.
24καὶ οὐκ ἐμαχέσαντο αὐτοῖς οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ὤμοσαν αὐτοῖς πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ διεγόγγυσαν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσι.
25And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
25καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄρχοντες πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ· ἡμεῖς ὠμόσαμεν αὐτοῖς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ νῦν οὐ δυνησόμεθα ἅψασθαι αὐτῶν·
26And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
26τοῦτο ποιήσομεν, ζωγρῆσαι αὐτούς, καὶ περιποιησόμεθα αὐτούς, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται καθ' ἡμῶν ὀργὴ διὰ τὸν ὅρκον, ὃν ὠμόσαμεν αὐτοῖς·
27And 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.
27ζήσονται καὶ ἔσονται ξυλοκόποι καὶ ὑδροφόροι πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ, καθάπερ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἄρχοντες.
