1Kutangla lun mwet Israel inge pwengpengelik nu sin tokosra nukewa lun mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Canaan, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus, su facl selos oan roto in Infacl Jordan, fahla sasla fineol uh, ac pe eol uh, nwe ke sun acn tupasrpasr sisken Meoa Mediterranean ac utyak nu tafunyen lucng sun acn Lebanon.
1Now when news of this reached all the kings west of the Jordan—those in the hill country, the foothills, and all along the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon (the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites)—
2Elos nukewa tukeni insesela in mweun lainul Joshua ac mwet Israel.
2they came together to wage war against Joshua and Israel.
3Tuh ke mwet Gibeon, su mwet Hiv, elos lohng ke ma Joshua el tuh oru in acn Jericho ac Ai,
3But the people of Gibeon, having heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
4na elos nunkauk in orek kikiap nu sel. Elos som ac orani mongo nu luin mahn pak ac nwakang nu fin kosro donkey natulos, wi pak in neinyuk wain ma mihsasa ac punla.
4acted deceptively and set out as envoys, carrying on their donkeys worn-out sacks and old wineskins, cracked and mended.
5Elos nokomang mahn nuknuk ac falkeang mahn fahluk pun, ac bread ma elos us pulamlamla ac suckak.
5They put worn, patched sandals on their feet and threadbare clothing on their bodies, and their whole supply of bread was dry and moldy.
6Na elos som nu Gilgal, nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel, ac fahk nu sel Joshua ac mwet Israel, “Kut tuku yen loesla me, ac kut kena tuh kowos in orala sie wulela nu sesr.”
6They went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a distant land; please make a treaty with us.”
7Ac mwet Israel elos fahk, “Efu ku kut in orek wulela nu suwos? Kowos acnu muta fototo nu yorosr.”
7But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you dwell near us. How can we make a treaty with you?”
8Na elos fahk nu sel Joshua, “Kut tuku in kulansupwekom.” Ac Joshua el siyuk selos, “Su kowos an? Ac kowos tuku oya me?”
8“We are your servants,” they said to Joshua. Then Joshua asked them, “Who are you and where have you come from?”
9Na elos fahk nu sel, “Kut tuku yen loesla me, ke sripen kut lohng ke LEUM GOD lowos, oayapa kut lohng ke ma nukewa El oru in acn Egypt,
9“Your servants have come from a very distant land,” they replied, “because of the fame of the LORD your God. For we have heard the reports about Him: all that He did in Egypt,
10ac ma El oru nu sin tokosra luo lun mwet Amor, su muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan — tokosra Sihon lun acn Heshbon, ac tokosra Og lun acn Bashan su muta in acn Ashtaroth.
10and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites beyond the Jordan—Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth.
11Mwet kol lasr ac mwet nukewa in facl sesr elos fahk tuh kut in eis ma nasr ac akola in tuku sun kom. Elos fahk nu sesr tuh kut in tuku ac eiskutwot tuh in mwet kulansap lom, ac siyuk tuh kom in oru sie wulela nu sesr.
11So the elders and inhabitants of our land told us, ‘Take provisions for your journey; go to meet them and say to them: We are your servants. Please make a treaty with us.’
12Liye bread nasr inge. Ke kut mukuiyak in tuku liki acn sesr ah, bread inge srakna fusrfusr. A liye, inge pulamlamla ac suckak.
12This bread of ours was warm when we packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But take a look, it is now dry and moldy.
13Ke kut tuh nwakla mwe neinyuk wain inge, sasu na. A liye, mihsasa uh. Nuknuk lasr ac fahluk lasr mihsasa uh ke sripen loesla fahsr lasr uh.”
13These wineskins were new when we filled them, but look, they are cracked. And these clothes and sandals are worn out from our very long journey.”
14Mwet Israel elos eis ac kang kutu mwe mongo selos inge, tusruktu elos tiana lolngok yurin LEUM GOD meet.
14Then the men of Israel sampled their provisions, but did not seek the counsel of the LORD.
15Joshua el orala sie wulela nu sin mwet Gibeon tuh elos fah ku in moul ac muta in misla. Ac mwet matu lun mwet Israel elos wi pac oru wuleang lalos in karingin wulela se inge.
15And Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.
16Len tolu tukun orekla wulela se inge, mwet Israel elos konauk lah pwayeiya uh mwet inge elos mutana apkuran nu yorolos.
16Three days after they had made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites learned that they were neighbors, living among them.
17Ke ma inge mwet Israel elos mutawauk in sifil fahsr, ac tukun len tolu elos sun acn sin mwet inge — Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, ac Kiriath Jearim.
17So the Israelites set out and on the third day arrived at their cities—Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
18Tusruktu mwet Israel elos kofla in onelosla, mweyen mwet kol lalos inge elos tuh orala sie wulela ku nu selos ke Inen LEUM GOD lun Israel. Ke sripen wulela se inge, mwet Israel nukewa torkaskas lain mwet kol lalos.
18But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the leaders.
19Na mwet kol lun mwet Israel elos topuk, “Kut orala wulela se tari nu selos ke Inen LEUM GOD lun Israel. Ouinge, kut tia ku in oru kutena ma nu selos.
19All the leaders answered, “We have sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel, and now we cannot touch them.
20Kut enenu in lela elos in moul ke sripen wulela sac. Kut fin tia, God El ac fah kai kut.
20This is how we will treat them: We will let them live, so that no wrath will fall on us because of the oath we swore to them.”
21Lela elos in moul, tusruktu elos ac fah mwet in ti etong ac ut kof lasr.” Pa inge nunak lun mwet kol ah.
21They continued, “Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers for the whole congregation.” So the leaders kept their promise.
22Ac Joshua el sap tuh mwet Gibeon in tuku nu yorol, ac el siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku kiapwekutla ac fahk mu kowos tuku yen loesla me, a kowos mutana fototo nu yorosr?
22Then Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said, “Why did you deceive us by telling us you live far away from us, when in fact you live among us?
23Ke sripa se inge, God El selngawikowosi. Kowos ac mwet lowos fah mwet kohs nwe tok. Kowos ac fah mwet in ti etong ac ut kof nu ke lohm sin God luk.”
23Now therefore you are under a curse and will perpetually serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”
24Ac elos topuk, “Aok, kut oru ke sripen kut etu tuh pwaye LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin nu sel Moses, mwet kulansap lal, tuh elan asot acn nukewa su kowos fah utyak nu we, ac kunausla mwet nukewa su muta fin acn ingan. Kut oru ouingan mweyen kut arulana sangeng suwos ac nunku mu kowos ac unikutla.
24The Gibeonites answered, “Your servants were told clearly that the LORD your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land and wipe out all its inhabitants before you. So we greatly feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we have done this.
25Inge kut muta inpoum. Oru nu sesr ma kom nunku mu fal in orek nu sesr.”
25Now we are in your hands. Do to us whatever seems good and right to you.”
26Pa inge ma Joshua el oru, el karingnalosyang ac el tia lela mwet Israel in onelosla.
26So Joshua did this and delivered them from the hands of the Israelites, and they did not kill the Gibeonites.
27In len sacna, el orala tuh elos in mwet kohs. Elos in ti etong ac ut kof nu sin mwet Israel ac nu ke loang lun LEUM GOD . Elos srakna oru orekma se inge nwe misenge, in acn ma LEUM GOD El sulela tuh mwet in alu su sel we.
27On that day he made them woodcutters and water carriers, as they are to this day for the congregation of the LORD and for the altar at the place He would choose.
