Joshua 9

Και οτε ηκουσαν παντες οι βασιλεις, οι εντευθεν του Ιορδανου, οι εν τη ορεινη και οι εν τη πεδινη και οι εν πασι τοις παραλιοις της θαλασσης της μεγαλης, εως κατεναντι του Λιβανου, οι Χετταιοι και οι Αμορραιοι, οι Χαναναιοι, οι Φερεζαιοι, οι Ευαιοι και οι Ιεβουσαιοι,

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;

συνηχθησαν παντες ομου, δια να πολεμησωσι τον Ιησουν και τον Ισραηλ.

That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.

Οι δε κατοικοι της Γαβαων ηκουσαν ο, τι εκαμεν ο Ιησους εις την Ιεριχω και εις την Γαι,

And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,

και επραξαν και ουτοι μετα πανουργιας, και υπηγον και ητοιμασθησαν με εφοδια, και ελαβον σακκους παλαιους επι των ονων αυτων και ασκους οινου παλαιους και κατεσχισμενους και δεδεμενους,

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;

και εις τους ποδας αυτων υποδηματα παλαια και εμβαλωμενα, και ιματια παλαια εφ εαυτων και ολος ο αρτος του εφοδιασμου αυτων ητο ξηρος και κατατεθρυμμενος.

And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.

Και ηλθον προς τον Ιησουν εις το στρατοπεδον εις Γαλγαλα, και ειπον προς αυτον και προς τους ανδρας του Ισραηλ, Απο γης μακρας ηλθομεν τωρα λοιπον καμετε συνθηκην προς ημας.

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.

Και ειπον οι ανδρες του Ισραηλ προς τους Ευαιους τουτους, Σεις κατοικειτε ισως εν τω μεσω ημων, και πως θελομεν καμει συνθηκην προς εσας;

And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

Οι δε ειπον προς τον Ιησουν, Δουλοι σου ειμεθα. Ειπε δε προς αυτους ο Ιησους, Ποιοι εισθε; και ποθεν ερχεσθε;

And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?

Και ειπον προς αυτον, Απο πολυ μακρας γης ηλθον οι δουλοι σου δια το ονομα Κυριου του Θεου σου διοτι ηκουσαμεν την φημην αυτου και παντα οσα εκαμεν εν Αιγυπτω,

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,

και παντα οσα εκαμεν εις τους δυο βασιλεις των Αμορραιων, τους περαν του Ιορδανου, εις τον Σηων βασιλεα της Εσεβων, και εις τον Ωγ βασιλεα της Βασαν, τον εν Ασταρωθ

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.

δια τουτο ειπον προς ημας οι πρεσβυτεροι ημων και παντες οι κατοικοι της γης ημων, λεγοντες, Λαβετε εις εαυτους εφοδια δια την οδον, και υπαγετε εις συναντησιν αυτων και ειπατε προς αυτους, δουλοι σας ειμεθα τωρα λοιπον καμετε συνθηκην προς ημας

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.

τον αρτον ημων τουτον ζεστον ελαβομεν εκ των οικιων ημων, καθ ην ημεραν εξηλθομεν δια να ελθωμεν προς εσας και τωρα, ιδου, ειναι ξηρος και κατατεθρυμμενος

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:

και ουτοι οι ασκοι του οινου, τους οποιους εγεμισαμεν νεους, και ιδου, ειναι κατεσχισμενοι και τα ιματια ημων ταυτα και τα υποδηματα ημων επαλαιωθησαν δια την πολυ μακραν οδον.

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.

Και εδεχθησαν τους ανδρας εξ αιτιας των εφοδιων αυτων, και δεν ηρωτησαν τον Κυριον.

And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.

Και εκαμεν ο Ιησους ειρηνην προς αυτους και εκαμε συνθηκην προς αυτους, να φυλαξη την ζωην αυτων και οι αρχοντες της συναγωγης ωμοσαν προς αυτους.

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.

Και μετα τρεις ημερας, αφου εκαμον συνθηκην προς αυτους, ηκουσαν οτι ησαν γειτονες αυτων και κατωκουν μεταξυ αυτων.

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.

Και σηκωθεντες οι υιοι Ισραηλ υπηγον εις τας πολεις αυτων την τριτην ημεραν αι δε πολεις αυτων ησαν Γαβαων και Χεφειρα και Βηρωθ και Κιριαθ−ιαρειμ.

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.

Και δεν επαταξαν αυτους οι υιοι Ισραηλ, διοτι οι αρχοντες της συναγωγης ειχον ομοσει προς αυτους τον Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ. Και εγογγυζε πασα η συναγωγη κατα των αρχοντων.

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.

Παντες ομως οι αρχοντες ειπον προς πασαν την συναγωγην, Ημεις ωμοσαμεν προς αυτους τον Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ τωρα λοιπον δεν δυναμεθα να εγγισωμεν αυτους

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.

τουτο θελομεν καμει εις αυτους θελομεν φυλαξει την ζωην αυτων, δια να μη ηναι οργη Θεου εφ ημας, δια τον ορκον τον οποιον ωμοσαμεν προς αυτους.

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.

Και οι αρχοντες ειπον προς αυτους, Ας ζωσι πλην ας ηναι ξυλοκοποι και υδροφοροι εις πασαν συναγωγην καθως οι αρχοντες υπεσχεθησαν προς αυτους.

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.

Και συνεκαλεσεν αυτους ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτους, λεγων, Δια τι ηπατησατε ημας λεγοντες, πολυ μακραν ειμεθα απο σας, ενω σεις κατοικειτε μεταξυ ημων;

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?

τωρα λοιπον επικαταρατοι εισθε, και δεν θελει λειψει απο σας δουλος και ξυλοκοπος και υδροφορος εις τον οικον του Θεου μου.

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.

Και απεκριθησαν προς τον Ιησουν λεγοντες, Επειδη οι δουλοι σου εμαθον μετα πληροφοριας οσα Κυριος ο Θεος σου διεταξεν εις τον δουλον αυτου Μωυσην, να δωση εις εσας πασαν την γην και να εξολοθρευση εμπροσθεν σας παντας τους κατοικους της γης, δια τουτο εφοβηθημεν απο σας σφοδρα δια την ζωην ημων και εκαμομεν το πραγμα τουτο

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.

και τωρα, ιδου, εις τας χειρας σου ειμεθα ο, τι σοι φανη καλον και αρεστον να καμης εις ημας, καμε.

And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.

Και εκαμεν ουτως εις αυτους, και ηλευθερωσεν αυτους εκ της χειρος των υιων Ισραηλ, και δεν εφονευσαν αυτους.

And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

Και την ημεραν εκεινην εκαμεν αυτους ο Ιησους ξυλοκοπους και υδροφορους μεχρι τουδε, εις την συναγωγην και εις το θυσιαστηριον του Κυριου, εις τον τοπον οντινα εκλεξη.

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.
