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.
1And it came to pass, when all the kings that 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, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof,
2Elos nukewa tukeni insesela in mweun lainul Joshua ac mwet Israel.
2that they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
3Tuh ke mwet Gibeon, su mwet Hiv, elos lohng ke ma Joshua el tuh oru in acn Jericho ac Ai,
3But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to 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.
4they also did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine skins, worn and rent and patched up;
5Elos nokomang mahn nuknuk ac falkeang mahn fahluk pun, ac bread ma elos us pulamlamla ac suckak.
5and worn shoes and clouted upon their feet, and worn garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and was become crumbs.
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.”
6And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel: 'We are come from a far country; now therefore make ye a covenant with us.'
7Ac mwet Israel elos fahk, “Efu ku kut in orek wulela nu suwos? Kowos acnu muta fototo nu yorosr.”
7And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites: 'Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a covenant 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?”
8And they said unto Joshua: 'We are thy servants.' And Joshua said unto them: 'Who are ye? and from whence come ye?'
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,
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,
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, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was at 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.
11And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying: Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them: We are your servants; and now make ye a covenant 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 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 is become crumbs.
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.”
13And these wine-skins, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they are rent. And these our garments and our shoes are worn by reason of the very long journey.'
14Mwet Israel elos eis ac kang kutu mwe mongo selos inge, tusruktu elos tiana lolngok yurin LEUM GOD meet.
14And the men took of their provision, and asked not counsel at the mouth 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 peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore unto them.
16Len tolu tukun orekla wulela se inge, mwet Israel elos konauk lah pwayeiya uh mwet inge elos mutana apkuran nu yorolos.
16And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt 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.
17And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and 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.
18And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
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.
19But all the princes said unto all the congregation: 'We have sworn unto them by the LORD, the God of Israel; now therefore we may not touch them.
20Kut enenu in lela elos in moul ke sripen wulela sac. Kut fin tia, God El ac fah kai kut.
20This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore unto them.'
21Lela elos in moul, tusruktu elos ac fah mwet in ti etong ac ut kof lasr.” Pa inge nunak lun mwet kol ah.
21And the princes said concerning them: 'Let them live'; so they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken concerning them.
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?
22And Joshua called for them, and he spoke unto them, saying: 'Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying: We are very far from you, when ye dwell 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 ye are cursed, and there shall never fail to be of you bondmen, both hewers of wood and drawers of water 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.
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 for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
25Inge kut muta inpoum. Oru nu sesr ma kom nunku mu fal in orek nu sesr.”
25And now, behold, we are in thy hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.'
26Pa inge ma Joshua el oru, el karingnalosyang ac el tia lela mwet Israel in onelosla.
26And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
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.
27And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, unto this day, in the place which He should choose.
