15 G2532 And G4160 [²made G4314 ⁴with G1473 ⁵them G* ¹Joshua G1515 ³peace], G2532 and G1303 ordained G4314 with G1473 them G1242 a covenant, G2532 and G3660 [⁵swore by an oath G1473 ⁶to them G3588 ¹the G758 ²rulers G3588 ³of the G4864 ⁴congregation].

16 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G3326 after G5140 three G2250 days, G3326 after G3588 the G1303 ordaining G4314 with G1473 them G1242 a covenant, G191 they heard G3754 that G1449.3 [²near G1510.2.6 ¹they are] G1473 them, G2532 and G3754 that G1722 [²among G1473 ³them G2730 ¹they dwelt].

17 G2532 And G522 [⁴departed G3588 ¹the G5207 ²sons G* ³of Israel], G2532 and G1831 came forth G1519 into G3588 G4172 their cities G1473 G3588 the G2250 [²day G3588 G5154 ¹third]. G3588 And G1161 G4172 their cities were G1473 G* Gibeon, G2532 and G* Chephirah, G2532 and G* Beeroth, G2532 and G4172 cities G* of Jearim.

18 G2532 And G3756 [⁴did not G4170 ⁵wage war G1473 ⁶with them G3588 ¹the G5207 ²sons G* ³of Israel], G3754 for G3660 [⁶swore by an oath G1473 ⁷to them G3956 ¹all G3588 ²the G758 ³rulers G3588 ⁴of the G4864 ⁵congregation] G2962 by the lord G3588 G2316 God G* of Israel. G2532 And G1234 [⁴complained G3956 ¹all G3588 ²the G4864 ³congregation] G1909 about G3588 the G758 rulers.

19 G2532 And G2036 [⁴said G3756 ¹all G3588 ²the G758 ³rulers] G3956 to all G3588 the G4864 congregation, G1473 We G3660 swore by an oath G1473 to them G2962 by the lord G3588 G2316 God G* of Israel. G2532 And G3568 now, G3756 we shall not G1410 be able G680 to touch G1473 them.

20 G3778 This G4160 we will do G1473 to them -- G2221 to take them alive, G1473 G2532 and G4046 we will preserve G1473 them, G2532 and G3756 there will not G1510.8.3 be G2596 [²against G1473 ³us G3709 ¹anger] G1223 on account of G3588 the G3727 oath G3739 which G3660 we swore by an oath G1473 to them.

21 G2532 And G2036 [³said G1473 ⁴to them G3588 ¹the G758 ²rulers], G2198 They shall live, G2532 and G1510.8.6 they shall be G3585.1 woodcutters G2532 and G5202.1 water-carriers G3956 to all G3588 the G4864 congregation, G2509 just as G2036 [³said G1473 ⁴to them G3588 ¹the G758 ²rulers].

22 G2532 And G4779 [²called them together G1473 G* ¹Joshua], G2532 and G2036 he spoke G1473 to them, G3004 saying, G1302 Why did G3884 you mislead G1473 me, G3004 saying, G3112 [³far G1510.2.4 ¹We are G575 ⁴from G1473 ⁵you G4970 ²exceedingly]; G1473 but you G1161 G1472.2 are natives G1510.2.5 G3588 of the G2730 ones dwelling G1722 among G1473 us?

23 G2532 And G3568 now G1944 you are accursed, G1510.2.5 G3766.2 in no way G1587 shall there fail G1537 from G1473 one of you G1401 being a servant, G3761 nor G3585.1 woodcutter, G3761 nor G5202.1 a water-carrier G1473 to me, G2532 and G3588 to G2316 my God. G1473

24 G2532 And G611 they answered G3588 G* Joshua, G3004 saying G3754 that, G31 A message G312 was announced G1473 to us G3745 as much as G4929 [³ordered G2962 ¹ the lord G3588 G2316 ²your God] G1473 G* Moses G3588 G3816 his servant G1473 G1325 to give G1473 to you G3778 this G3588 G1093 land, G2532 and G1842 to utterly destroy G1473 us, G2532 and G3956 all G3588 the ones G2730 dwelling G1909 upon G1473 it, G575 from G4383 in front G1473 of you. G2532 And G5399 we feared G4970 exceedingly G4012 for G3588 G5590 our lives G1473 G575 from G4383 your presence, G1473 G2532 and G4160 we did G3588 G4229 this thing . G3778

25 G2532 And G3568 now, G2400 behold, G1473 we are G5297.2 under your hands G1473 G5613 as G700 it pleases G1473 you. G2532 And G5613 as G1380 it seems good G4160 to do G1473 to us, G4160 you do it!

26 G2532 And G4160 they did G1473 to them G3779 thus, G2532 and G1807 [²rescued G1473 ³them G* ¹Joshua] G1722 in G3588 G2250 that day G1565 G1537 from G5495 the hands G5207 of the sons G* of Israel, G2532 and G3756 they did not G337 do away with G1473 them.

27 G2532 And G2525 [²established G1473 ³them G* ¹Joshua] G1722 in G3588 G2250 that day G1565 G3585.1 as woodcutters G2532 and G5202.1 water-carriers G3956 to all G3588 the G4864 congregation, G2532 and G3588 for the G2379 altar G3588 G2316 of God G2193 until G3588 the G2250 day G4594 today, G2532 and G1519 for G3588 the G5117 place G3739 which G302 ever G1586 he should choose.

15 H3091 And Joshua H6213 [H8799] made H7965 peace H3772 [H8799] with them, and made H1285 a league H2421 [H8763] with them, to let them live: H5387 and the princes H5712 of the company H7650 [H8735] swore to them.

16 H7097 And it came to pass at the end H7969 of three H3117 days H310 after H3772 [H8804] they had made H1285 a league H8085 [H8799] with them, that they heard H7138 that they were their neighbours, H3427 [H8802] and that they dwelt H7130 among them.

17 H1121 And the sons H3478 of Israel H5265 [H8799] journeyed, H935 [H8799] and came H5892 to their cities H7992 on the third H3117 day. H5892 Now their cities H1391 were Gibeon, H3716 and Chephirah, H881 and Beeroth, H7157 and Kirjathjearim.

18 H9002 And H1121 the sons H3478 of Israel H5221 [H8689] smote H9038 them H3808 not, H3588 because H5387 the princes H9009 of the H5712 company H7650 [H8738] had sworn H9008 to H9038 them H9003 by H3068 the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel. H9001 And H3605 all H9009 the H5712 company H3885 [H8735] murmured H5921 against H9009 the H5387 princes.

19 H5387 But all the princes H559 [H8799] said H3605 to all H5712 the company, H7650 [H8738] We have sworn H3068 to them by the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel: H3201 [H8799] now therefore we may H5060 [H8800] not touch them.

20 H6213 [H8799] This we will do H2421 [H8687] to them; we will even let them live, H7110 lest splintering rage H7621 be upon us, because of the oath H7650 [H8738] which we swore to them.

21 H5387 And the princes H559 [H8799] said H2421 [H8799] to them, Let them live; H2404 [H8802] but let them be hewers H6086 of wood H7579 [H8802] and drawers H4325 of water H3605 to all H5712 the company; H5387 as the princes H1696 [H8765] had promised them.

22 H3091 And Joshua H7121 [H8799] called H1696 [H8762] for them, and he spoke H559 [H8800] to them, saying, H7411 [H8765] Why have ye deceived H559 [H8800] us, saying, H3966 We are very H7350 far H3427 [H8802] from you; when ye dwell H7130 among us?

23 H779 [H8803] Now therefore ye are cursed, H3772 [H8735] and there shall none of you be freed H5650 from being slaves, H2404 [H8802] and hewers H6086 of wood H7579 [H8802] and drawers H4325 of water H1004 for the house H430 of my God.

24 H6030 [H8799] And they answered H3091 Joshua, H559 [H8799] and said, H5046 [H8715] Because it was certainly H5046 [H8717] told H5650 thy servants, H3068 how the LORD H430 thy God H6680 [H8765] commanded H5650 his servant H4872 Moses H5414 [H8800] to give H776 you all the land, H8045 [H8687] and to desolate H3427 [H8802] all the inhabitants H776 of the land H6440 from the face of H3966 you, therefore we were greatly H3372 [H8799] afraid H5315 for our lives H6440 because H6213 [H8799] of you, and have done H1697 this thing.

25 H2009 And now, behold, we H3027 are in thine hand: H6213 [H8798] do H5869 as it seemeth H2896 good H3477 and right H6213 [H8800] to thee to do to us.

26 H6213 [H8799] And so did H5337 [H8686] he to them, and delivered H3027 them out of the hand H1121 of the sons H3478 of Israel, H2026 [H8804] that they slew them not.

27 H3091 And Joshua H5414 [H8799] made H3117 them that day H2404 [H8802] hewers H6086 of wood H7579 [H8802] and drawers H4325 of water H5712 for the company, H4196 and for the altar H3068 of the LORD, H3117 even to this day, H4725 in the place H977 [H8799] which he should choose.

Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Fecitque Josue cum eis pacem, et inito fœdere pollicitus est quod non occiderentur: principes quoque multitudinis juraverunt eis. ¹⁶ Post dies autem tres initi fœderis, audierunt quod in vicino habitarent, et inter eos futuri essent. ¹⁷ Moveruntque castra filii Israël, et venerunt in civitates eorum die tertio, quarum hæc vocabula sunt: Gabaon, et Caphira, et Beroth, et Cariathiarim. ¹⁸ Et non percusserunt eos, eo quod jurassent eis principes multitudinis in nomine Domini Dei Israël. Murmuravit itaque omne vulgus contra principes. ¹⁹ Qui responderunt eis: Juravimus illis in nomine Domini Dei Israël, et idcirco non possumus eos contingere. ²⁰ Sed hoc faciemus eis: reserventur quidem ut vivant, ne contra nos ira Domini concitetur, si pejeraverimus: ²¹ sed sic vivant, ut in usus universæ multitudinis ligna cædant, aquasque comportent. Quibus hæc loquentibus, ²² vocavit Gabaonitas Josue, et dixit eis: Cur nos decipere fraude voluistis, ut diceretis: Procul valde habitamus a vobis, cum in medio nostri sitis? ²³ itaque sub maledictione eritis, et non deficiet de stirpe vestra ligna cædens, aquasque comportans in domum Dei mei. ²⁴ Qui responderunt: Nuntiatum est nobis servis tuis, quod promisisset Dominus Deus tuus Moysi servo suo ut traderet vobis omnem terram, et disperderet cunctos habitatores ejus.

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Josue made pees with hem. And whanne the boond of pees was maad, he bihiyte, that thei schulden not be slayn; and the princes of the multitude sworen to hem. ¹⁶ Forsothe aftir thre daies of the boond of pees maad, thei herden, that thei dwelliden in nyy place, and that thei schulden be among hem. ¹⁷ And the sones of Israel mouyden tentis, and camen in the thridde dai in to the citees of hem, of whiche citees these ben the names; Gabaon, and Caphira, and Beroth, and Cariathiarym. ¹⁸ And thei smytiden not hem, for the princis of the multitude hadden swore to hem in the name of the Lord God of Israel. Therfor al the comyn puple grutchide ayens the princis of Israel; ¹⁹ whiche answeriden to hem, We sworen to hem in the name of the Lord God of Israel, and therfor we moun not touche hem; ²⁰ but we schulen do this thing to hem, sotheli be thei reserued that thei lyue, lest the ire of the Lord be stirid ayens vs, if we forsweren to hem; ²¹ but so lyue thei, that thei hewe trees, and bere watris, in to the vsis of al the multitude. And while thei spaken these thingis, ²² Josue clepide Gabonytis, and seide to hem, Whi wolden ye disseyue vs bi fraude, `that ye seiden, We dwellen ful fer fro you, sithen ye ben in the myddis of vs? ²³ Therfor ye schulen be `vndur cursyng, and noon schal faile of youre generacioun, hewynge trees and berynge watris, in to the hows of my God. ²⁴ Whiche answeryden, It was told to vs thi seruauntis, that thi Lord God bihiyte to Moises, his seruaunt, that he schulde bitake to you al the lond, and schulde leese alle the dwelleris therof; therfor we dredden greetli, and purueiden to oure lyues, and weren compellid bi youre drede, and we token this counsel. ²⁵ `Now forsothe we ben in `thin hond; do thou to vs that, that semeth riytful and good to thee. ²⁶ Therfor Josue dide, as he seide, and delyuerede hem fro the hondis of the sones of Israel, that thei schulden not be slayn. ²⁷ And in that dai Josue demyde hem to be in to the seruyce of al the puple, and of the auter of the Lord, and to hewe trees, and to bere watris, `til in to present tyme, in the place which the Lord hadde chose.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Iosua made peace with them, and set vp a couenaunt with them, that they shulde be saued alyue, and the rulers of the congregacion sware vnto them. ¹⁶ But thre dayes after that they had made a couenaunt with them, they herde, that they were their neghbours, and dwelt amonge them: ¹⁷ For as the children of Israel wente forth on their iourney, they came on the thirde daye vnto their cities, which are called Gibeon, Caphira, Beeroth, and Cirath Iearim, ¹⁸ and smote the not, because that the rulers of the congregacisn had sworne vnto them by the name of the LORDE the God of Israel. But whan all the congregacion murmured agaynst the rulers, ¹⁹ all the rulers sayde vnto the whole congregacion: We haue sworne vnto them by the LORDE the God of Israel, therfore maye we not touch them. ²⁰ But this wil we do vnto them: Let them lyue, that there come no wrath vpon vs, because of the ooth that we haue made vnto them. ²¹ And the rulers sayde vnto them: Let them lyue, that they maye be hewers of wodd and bearers of water for the whole congregacion, as the rulers haue sayde vnto them. ²² Then Iosua called them, and commened with them, and sayde: Wherfore haue ye disceaued vs, and sayde, that ye were farre from vs, where as ye dwell amonge vs? ²³ Therfore shall ye be cursed, so that of you there shall not ceasse seruauntes to hew wodd and to beare water for the house of my God. ²⁴ They answered Iosua, & sayde: It was tolde thy seruauntes, that the LORDE thy God commaunded Moses his seruaunt, that he shulde geue you the whole lode, and that he wolde destroye all the inhabiters of the londe before you: therfore were we sore afrayed of oure lyues before you, and thus haue we done. ²⁵ But now lo, we are in thy handes: loke what thou thinkest good and righte to do vnto vs, that do. ²⁶ And he dyd euen so vnto them, and delyuered them from the children of Israels hade, that they shulde not slaye them. ²⁷ So vpo the same daye Iosua made them hewers of wodd and water bearers for the congregacion, and for the altare of the LORDE vnto this daye, in the place that he shall chose.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to save their lives: and the lords of the congregation sware unto them. ¹⁶ But three days after they had made peace with them, they heard that they were neighbours unto them, and that they dwelt among them. ¹⁷ For the children of Israel took their journey and came unto their cities the third day: and their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth and Kiriathjearim. ¹⁸ And the children of Israel slew them not, because the lords of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And therefore all the multitude murmured against the lords. ¹⁹ But all the lords said unto all the congregation, "We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel, and therefore we may not hurt them. ²⁰ But this we will do to them and let them live: and so shall no wrath be upon us because of the oath which we sware unto them." ²¹ And the lords said unto them, "Let them live, that they may be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation," as the lords said unto them. ²² Then Joshua sent for them, and talked with them, and said, "Wherefore have ye beguiled us and yet ye dwell among us? ²³ And now therefore cursed be you, and there shall not cease to be of you, bondmen and hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the house of my God." ²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, "It was told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabiters thereof out of your sight, and therefore we were exceeding sore afraid of our lives because of you. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in thine hand; as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to do unto us, so do." ²⁶ And he dealt as it is said with them, and rid them out of the hands of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. ²⁷ And Joshua made them that same day hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the congregation and unto the altar of God unto this day, in the place which God should choose.

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Iosua made a peace wyth them, and made a couenaunte with them, to saue their lyues, and the Lordes of the congregacyon sware vnto them. ¹⁶ But thre dayes after they had made peace with them, they hearde that they were neighboures vnto them, & that they dwelt amonge them. ¹⁷ For the children of Israel toke their Iourney, and came vnto their cities the thirde daye, and their cities were Gabaon, Caphira, Beeroth, and Kariath Iarim. ¹⁸ And the children of Israell slewe them not, because the Lordes of the congregacion had sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel. And therfore al the multitude murmured against the Lordes. ¹⁹ But al the Lordes said vnto al the congregacion, we haue sworne vnto them by the Lorde God of Israel, and therfore we maye not hurte them. ²⁰ But thys we will do to them and let them liue, and so shal no wrath be vpon vs because of the othe which we sware vnto them. ²¹ And the Lordes sayde vnto them, that they should lyue: And they were made hewers of woode and drawers of water vnto al the congregacion, as the Lordes sayde vnto them. ²² Then Iosua sent for them, and talked wyth them, and sayde, wherfore haue ye begiled vs and yet ye dwel amonge vs? ²³ and nowe therfore cursed be you, and there shall not cease to be of you, bond men and hewers of woode & drawers of water vnto the house of my God. ²⁴ And they answered Iosua and sayde, it was tolde thy seruauntes, how that the Lorde thy God had commaunded his seruaunt Moses to geue you al the lande, and to destroye all the Enhabitoures therof oute of youre syghte, and therfore we were exceadinge sore afrayed of oure liues because of you, ²⁵ & nowe beholde, we are in thyne hande, as it semeth good and righte in thyne eyes to do vnto vs, so do. ²⁶ And he dealte as it is sayde, wyth them, and ridde them out of the handes of the chyldren of Israel, that they slewe them not. ²⁷ And Iosua made them that same daye hewers of woode and drawers of water vnto the congregacyon and vnto the aulter of God vnto this day, in the place which God should chose.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Iosua made peace wyth them, and made a couenaunt with them, that they shulde be suffred to lyue: & the Lordes of the congregacyon sware vnto them. ¹⁶ And it fortuned, that thre dayes after they had made peace wyth them, they hearde that they were their neyboures, & that they dwelte amonge them. ¹⁷ And the chyldren of Israel toke their Iourney, and came vnto their cyties the thyrde daye: and their cyties were Gibeon, & Caphira, Beeroth and kariat Iarim. ¹⁸ And the children of Israell slewe them not, because the Lordes of the congregacyon had sworne vnto them by the Lorde God of Israell. And all the multitude murmured against the Lordes. ¹⁹ But all the Lordes sayde vnto all the congregacyon: we haue sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel, & therfore we maye not hurte them. ²⁰ But this we wyll do to them: We will lett them lyue, lest wrath be vpon vs, because of the othe which we sware vnto them. ²¹ And the Lordes sayd vnto them agayne: Let them lyue, and hewe wodd, and drawe water vnto all the congregacion, and they did as the Lordes sayde vnto them. ²² And Iosua sent for them, & talked wyth them, and sayde: wherfore haue ye begyled vs, sayeng: We dwell farre from you, whan ye dwell amonge vs? ²³ and now are you curssed, & there shall not cease to be of you, bond men and hewers of wodd & drawers of water for the house of my God. ²⁴ And they aunswered Iosua and sayde: it was tolde thy seruauntes, how that the Lord thy God had commaunded his seruaunt Moses to geue you all the lande, and to destroye all the enhabytoures therof oute of youre syght, & therfore we were exceadyng sore afrayed for oure lyues at the presence of you, & haue done this thinge, ²⁵ & beholde we are in thine hande, as it semeth good & ryght in thyne eyes to do vnto vs, so do. ²⁶ And euen so dyd he vnto them, and ridde them oute of the hande of the children of Israel, and they slewe them not. ²⁷ And Iosua made them that same daye hewers of wodd, & drawers of water for the congregacyon and for the aulter of God vnto thys daye, in the place which God shulde chose.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ So Ioshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, that he would suffer them to liue: also the Princes of the Congregation sware vnto them. ¹⁶ But at the end of three dayes, after they had made a league with them, they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. ¹⁷ And the children of Israel tooke their iourney, and came vnto their cities the third day, and their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth and Kiriath-iearim. ¹⁸ And the children of Israel slewe them not, because the Princes of the Congregation had sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: wherefore all the Congregation murmured against the Princes. ¹⁹ Then all the Princes said vnto all the Congregation, We haue sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: nowe therefore we may not touch them. ²⁰ But this we wil doe to them, and let them liue, least the wrath be vpon vs because of the othe which we sware vnto them. ²¹ And the Princes sayd vnto them againe, Let them liue, but they shall hewe wood, and drawe water vnto all the Congregation, as the Princes appoint them. ²² Ioshua then called them, and talked with them, and sayd, Wherefore haue ye beguiled vs, saying, We are very farre from you, when ye dwel among vs? ²³ 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. ²⁴ And they answered Ioshua, and sayd, Because it was tolde thy seruants, that the Lord thy God had commanded his seruant Moses to giue you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land out of your sight, therefore we were exceeding sore afraid for our liues at the presence of you, and haue done this thing: ²⁵ And beholde nowe, we are in thine hand: doe as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to doe vnto vs. ²⁶ Euen so did he vnto them, and deliuered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slewe them not. ²⁷ And Ioshua appointed them that same day to be hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the Congregation, and for the altar of the Lord vnto this day, in the place which he should chuse.

Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Iosuah made peace which the, and made a couenaunt with them, that they shulde be suffered to liue: And the princes of the congregation sware vnto them ¹⁶ But at the ende of three dayes, after they had made a league with them, they hearde that they were their neighbours, & that they dwelt among them ¹⁷ And the children of Israel toke their iorney, and came vnto their cities the thirde day: and their cities were Gibeon, and Caphira, Beroth, and Kiriathiarim ¹⁸ And the children of Israel slue them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: and all the multitude mourned agaynst the princes ¹⁹ But all the princes sayde vnto all the congregation: We haue sworne vnto them by the Lorde God of Israel, and therfore we may not hurt them ²⁰ But this we wyll do to them, We wyll let them liue, lest wrath be vpon vs because of the othe which we sware vnto them ²¹ And the princes said vnto them againe, Let them liue, and hewe wood, & drawe water vnto all the congregation, [and they dyd] as the princes sayde vnto them ²² And Iosuah called for them, & talked with them, and sayde, Wherfore haue ye beguiled vs, saying, We dwell farre from you: when ye dwell among vs ²³ And nowe are ye cursed, and there shal not ceasse to be of you bondmen, and hewers of wood, & drawers of water for the house of my God ²⁴ And they aunswered Iosuah, & sayd, It was tolde thy seruauntes how that the Lorde thy God had commaunded his seruaunt Moyses to geue you all the lande, and to destroy all the inhabitours therof out of your sight, and therfore we were exceedyng sore afrayde for our liues at the presence of you, and haue done this thing ²⁵ And beholde, we are in thyne hande: as it seemeth good and right in thyne eyes to do vnto vs, so do ²⁶ And euen so did he vnto them, and rid them out of the hande of the chyldren of Israel, that they slue them not ²⁷ And Iosuah made them that same day hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the congregation and for the aulter of God, vnto this day, in the place whiche he shoulde choose

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And 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. ¹⁶ Now three days after the league was made, they heard that they dwelt nigh, and they should be among them. ¹⁷ And 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. ¹⁸ And 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. ¹⁹ And 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. ²⁰ But this we will do to them: Let their lives be saved, lest the wrath of the Lord be stirred up against us, if we should be forsworn: ²¹ But so let them live, as to serve the whole multitude in hewing wood, and bringing in water. As they were speaking these things, ²² Josue called the Gabaonites, and said to them: Why would you impose upon us, saying: We dwell very far off from you, whereas you are in the midst of us? ²³ Therefore you shall be under a curse, and your race shall always be hewers of wood, and carriers of water, into the house of my God. ²⁴ They 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. ²⁵ And now we are in thy hand: deal with us as it seemeth good and right unto thee. ²⁶ So Josue did as he had said, and delivered them from the hand of the children of Israel, that they should not be slain. ²⁷ And 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.

15 H3091 And Joshua H6213 made [H8799] H7965 peace H3772 with them, and made [H8799] H1285 a league H2421 with them, to let them live [H8763] H5387 : and the princes H5712 of the congregation H7650 sware [H8735] unto them.

16 H7097 And it came to pass at the end H7969 of three H3117 days H310 after H3772 they had made [H8804] H1285 a league H8085 with them, that they heard [H8799] H7138 that they were their neighbours H3427 , and that they dwelt [H8802] H7130 among them.

17 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H5265 journeyed [H8799] H935 , and came [H8799] H5892 unto their cities H7992 on the third H3117 day H5892 . Now their cities H1391 were Gibeon H3716 , and Chephirah H881 , and Beeroth H7157 , and Kirjathjearim.

18 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H5221 smote [H8689] H5387 them not, because the princes H5712 of the congregation H7650 had sworn [H8738] H3068 unto them by the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5712 . And all the congregation H3885 murmured [H8735] H5387 against the princes.

19 H5387 But all the princes H559 said [H8799] H5712 unto all the congregation H7650 , We have sworn [H8738] H3068 unto them by the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H3201 : now therefore we may [H8799] H5060 not touch [H8800] them.

20 H6213 This we will do [H8799] H2421 to them; we will even let them live [H8687] H7110 , lest wrath H7621 be upon us, because of the oath H7650 which we sware [H8738] unto them.

21 H5387 And the princes H559 said [H8799] H2421 unto them, Let them live [H8799] H2404 ; but let them be hewers [H8802] H6086 of wood H7579 and drawers [H8802] H4325 of water H5712 unto all the congregation H5387 ; as the princes H1696 had promised [H8765] them.

22 H3091 And Joshua H7121 called [H8799] H1696 for them, and he spake [H8762] H559 unto them, saying [H8800] H7411 , Wherefore have ye beguiled [H8765] H559 us, saying [H8800] H3966 , We are very H7350 far H3427 from you; when ye dwell [H8802] H7130 among us?

24 H6030 And they answered [H8799] H3091 Joshua H559 , and said [H8799] H5046 , Because it was certainly [H8715] H5046 told [H8717] H5650 thy servants H3068 , how that the LORD H430 thy God H6680 commanded [H8765] H5650 his servant H4872 Moses H5414 to give [H8800] H776 you all the land H8045 , and to destroy [H8687] H3427 all the inhabitants [H8802] H776 of the land H6440 from before H3966 you, therefore we were sore H3372 afraid [H8799] H5315 of our lives H6440 because H6213 of you, and have done [H8799] H1697 this thing.

25 H2009 And now, behold, we H3027 are in thine hand H5869 : as it seemeth H2896 good H3477 and right H6213 unto thee to do [H8800] H6213 unto us, do [H8798] .

26 H6213 And so did [H8799] H5337 he unto them, and delivered [H8686] H3027 them out of the hand H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel H2026 , that they slew [H8804] them not.

27 H3091 And Joshua H5414 made [H8799] H3117 them that day H2404 hewers [H8802] H6086 of wood H7579 and drawers [H8802] H4325 of water H5712 for the congregation H4196 , and for the altar H3068 of the LORD H3117 , even unto this day H4725 , in the place H977 which he should choose [H8799] .

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and they entered into a covenant with them to save their lives; and the chiefs of the congregation sword to them. ¹⁶ But three days after they had entered into covenant with them, they heard that they were in the neighbourhood, and dwelt close by them. ¹⁷ Whereupon the children of Israel removed, and came to their cities. Now their cities were Gabaon, and Kephira, and Berot, and the cities of Jarim; ¹⁸ But the children of Israel did not make war on them, because all the chiefs had sworn to them by the Lord the God of Israel. ¹⁹ When all the congregation murmured at the chiefs, the chiefs said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by the Lord the God of Israel; now therefore we cannot touch them. ²⁰ This we will do. We will let them live and protect them; that there may be no wrath against us because of the oath which we have sworn to them. ²¹ They shall live; but they shall be hewers of wood, and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the chiefs have said to them. ²² For Joshua had called them, and said to them, Why did you impose upon me saying, We are far distant from thee, seeing you are our nearest neighbour? ²³ Now therefore you are cursed, and not one of you shall escape servitude; from being a hewer of wood, and a drawer of water, for me and my God. ²⁴ And they answered Joshua saying, We were told all that the Lord thy God commanded his servant Moses, to give yon this land, and to extirpate us, and all the inhabitants thereof from before you, therefore we were in great terror for our lives because of you, and we did this. ²⁵ And now behold we are in your power, deal with us as you please, and as it seemeth good to you. ²⁶ So they dealt with them in this manner, and Joshua saved them that day out of the hand of the Israelites, and they did not destroy them. ²⁷ And on that day Joshua made them hewers of wood, and drawers of water, for the whole congregation, and for the altar of God. For this cause the inhabitants of Gabaon are hewers of wood, and drawers of water, for the altar of God, even at this day, and are to be so for the place which the Lord will chuse.

19 H5387 But all the princes H559 [H8799] said H5712 to all the congregation H7650 [H8738] , We have sworn H3068 to them by the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H3201 [H8799] : now therefore we may H5060 [H8800] not touch them.

23 H779 [H8803] Now therefore ye are cursed H3772 [H8735] , and there shall none of you be freed H5650 from being slaves H2404 [H8802] , and hewers H6086 of wood H7579 [H8802] and drawers H4325 of water H1004 for the house H430 of my God.

24 H6030 [H8799] And they answered H3091 Joshua H559 [H8799] , and said H5046 [H8715] , Because it was certainly H5046 [H8717] told H5650 thy servants H3068 , how the LORD H430 thy God H6680 [H8765] commanded H5650 his servant H4872 Moses H5414 [H8800] to give H776 you all the land H8045 [H8687] , and to destroy H3427 [H8802] all the inhabitants H776 of the land H6440 from before H3966 you, therefore we were greatly H3372 [H8799] afraid H5315 for our lives H6440 because H6213 [H8799] of you, and have done H1697 this thing.

25 H2009 And now, behold, we H3027 are in thy hand H6213 [H8798] : do H5869 as it seemeth H2896 good H3477 and right H6213 [H8800] to thee to do to us.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and they made a covenant with them to preserve them; and the princes of the congregation sware to them. ¹⁶ And it came to pass three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were near neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. ¹⁷ And the children of Israel departed and came to their cities; and their cities were Gabaon, and Kephira, and Berot, and the cities of Jarin. ¹⁸ Land the children of Israel fought not with them, because all the princes sware to them by the Lord God of Israel; and all the congregation murmured at the princes. ¹⁹ And the princes said to all the congregation: We have sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel, and now we shall not be able to touch them. ²⁰ This we will do; take them alive, and we will preserve them: so there shall not be wrath against us by reason of the oath which we swore to them. ²¹ They shall live, and shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes said to them. ²² And Joshua called them together and said to them, Why have ye deceived me, saying, We live very far from you; whereas ye are fellow-countrymen of those who dwell among us? ²³ And now ye are cursed: there shall not fail of you a slave, or a hewer of wood, or a drawer of water to me and my God. ²⁴ And they answered Joshua, saying, It was reported to us what the Lord thy God charged his servant Moses, to give you this land, and to destroy us and all that dwelt on it from before you; and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and therefore we did this thing. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in your power; do to us as it is pleasing to you, and as it seems good to you. ²⁶ Land they did so to them; and Joshua rescued them in that day out of the hands of the children of Israel, and they did not slay them. ²⁷ And Joshua made them in that day hewers of wood and drawers of water to the whole congregation, and for the altar of God: therefore the inhabitants of Gabaon became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the altar of God until this day, even for the place which the Lord should choose.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore unto them. ¹⁶ And 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 neighbors, and that they dwelt in the midst of them. ¹⁷ And the children of Israel broke up, and came unto their cities on the third day; and their cities were Gib’on, and Kephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiryath-ye’arim. ¹⁸ And the children of Israel smote them not; because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord, the God of Israel; but all the congregation murmured against the princes. ¹⁹ And all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the Lord the God of Israel: and now we cannot touch them. ²⁰ This will we do to them, and we will let them live, that there be no wrath upon us, on account of the oath which we have sworn unto them. ²¹ And the princes said unto them, Let them live: and they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken unto them. ²² And Joshua called for them, and he spoke unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you: whereas ye dwell in the midst of us? ²³ And now be ye cursed, and there shall not cease to be of you servants and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God. ²⁴ And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; wherefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and we have done this thing. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in thy hand; as it seemeth good and right in thy eyes to do unto us, so do. ²⁶ And he did unto them thus; and he delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, and they slew them not. ²⁷ And Joshua appointed them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, for the place which he should choose.

15 H3091 And Joshua H6213 made H7965 peace H3772 with them, and made H1285 a covenant H2421 with them, to let them live: H5387 and the princes H5712 of the congregation H7650 sware unto them.

16 H7097 And it came to pass at the end H7969 of three H3117 days H310 after H3772 they had made H1285 a covenant H8085 with them, that they heard H7138 that they were their neighbors, H3427 and that they dwelt H7130 among them.

17 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H5265 journeyed, H935 and came H5892 unto their cities H7992 on the third H3117 day. H5892 Now their cities H1391 were Gibeon, H3716 and Chephirah, H881 and Beeroth, H7157 and Kiriath-jearim.

18 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H5221 smote H5387 them not, because the princes H5712 of the congregation H7650 had sworn H3068 unto them by Jehovah, H430 the God H3478 of Israel. H5712 And all the congregation H3885 murmured H5387 against the princes.

19 H5387 But all the princes H559 said H5712 unto all the congregation, H7650 We have sworn H3068 unto them by Jehovah, H430 the God H3478 of Israel: H3201 now therefore we may H5060 not touch them.

20 H6213 This we will do H2421 to them, and let them live; H7110 lest wrath H7621 be upon us, because of the oath H7650 which we sware unto them.

21 H5387 And the princes H559 said H2421 unto them, Let them live: H2404 so they became hewers H6086 of wood H7579 and drawers H4325 of water H5712 unto all the congregation, H5387 as the princes H1696 had spoken unto them.

22 H3091 And Joshua H7121 called H1696 for them, and he spake H559 unto them, saying, H7411 Wherefore have ye beguiled H559 us, saying, H3966 We are very H7350 far H3427 from you; when ye dwell H7130 among us?

23 H779 Now therefore ye are cursed, H3772 and there shall never fail H5650 to be of you bondmen, H2404 both hewers H6086 of wood H7579 and drawers H4325 of water H1004 for the house H430 of my God.

24 H6030 And they answered H3091 Joshua, H559 and said, H5046 Because it was certainly H5046 told H5650 thy servants, H3068 how that Jehovah H430 thy God H6680 commanded H5650 his servant H4872 Moses H5414 to give H776 you all the land, H8045 and to destroy H3427 all the inhabitants H776 of the land H6440 from before H3966 you; therefore we were sore H3372 afraid H5315 for our lives H6440 because H6213 of you, and have done H1697 this thing.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore unto them. ¹⁶ And 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. ¹⁷ 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 Kiriath-jearim. ¹⁸ And 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. ¹⁹ But 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. ²⁰ This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore unto them.' ²¹ And 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. ²² And 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? ²³ Now 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.' ²⁴ 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 for our lives because of you, and have done this thing. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in thy hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.' ²⁶ And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. ²⁷ And 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.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and solemnised with them a covenant to let them live,––and the princes of the assembly, entered into an oath with them. ¹⁶ And it came to pass, at the end of three days after they had solemnised with them a covenant, that they heard that, near neighbours, they were unto them, and, in their midst, they were dwelling. ¹⁷ So the sons of Israel brake up, and came in unto their cities on the third day,––their cities, being Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath–jearim. ¹⁸ And the sons of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the assembly had sworn unto them by Yahweh, God of Israel,––but all the assembly murmured against the princes. ¹⁹ And all the princes said unto all the assembly, We, have sworn unto them, by Yahweh, God of Israel,––now, therefore, we may not touch them. ²⁰ This, will we do unto them, even let them live,––lest there come on us wrath, because of the oath which we have sworn unto them. ²¹ And the princes said unto them––Let them live. So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the assembly, as the princes spake unto them.
²² And Joshua called for them, and spake unto them, saying,––Wherefore did ye deceive us, saying––We are, very far, from you, whereas, ye, in our midst, are dwelling? ²³ Now, therefore, accursed, ye are,––and ye shall not cease to be in bond–service as hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my God. ²⁴ And they responded to Joshua, and said––Because it was, plainly told, thy servants, how that Yahweh thy God had commanded Moses his servant to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you,––therefore feared we greatly, for our lives, because of you, and did this thing. ²⁵ Now, therefore, here we are, in thy hand,––as may be good and right in thine eyes, to do unto us, do. ²⁶ And he did to them so,––and rescued them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, and they slew them not. ²⁷ And Joshua appointed them that day to be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the assembly,––and unto the altar of Yahweh, [as they are] until this day, in the place which he should choose.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ and Joshua makes with them peace, and makes with them a covenant, to keep them alive; and swear to them do the princes of the company. ¹⁶ And it comes to pass, at the end of three days after that they have made with them a covenant, that they hear that they [are] their neighbors--that in their midst they are dwelling. ¹⁷ And the sons of Israel journey and come in unto their cities on the third day--and their cities [are] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-Jearim-. ¹⁸ and the sons of Israel have not smitten them, for sworn to them have the princes of the company by Yahweh Elohim of Israel, and all the company murmur against the princes. ¹⁹ And all the princes say unto all the company, `We--we have sworn to them by Yahweh, Elohim of Israel; and now, we are not able to come against them;" ²⁰ this we do to them, and have kept them alive, and wrath is not upon us, because of the oath which we have sworn to them.. ²¹ And the princes say unto them, `They live, and are hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the company, as the princes spoke to them.. ²² And Joshua calls for them, and speaks unto them, saying, `Why have you deceived us, saying, We are very far from you, and you in our midst dwelling? ²³ and now, cursed are you, and none of you is cut off [from being] a servant, even hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my Elohim.. ²⁴ And they answer Joshua and say, `Because it was certainly declared to your servants, that Yahweh your Elohim commanded Moses His servant to give to you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; and we fear greatly for ourselves because of you, and we do this thing;" ²⁵ and now, lo, we [are] in your hand, as [it is] good, and as [it is] right in your eyes to do to us--do.. ²⁶ And he does to them so, and delivers them from the hand of the sons of Israel, and they have not slain them;" ²⁷ and Joshua makes them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the company, and for the altar of Yahweh, unto this day, at the place which He does choose.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ So Joshua made peace with them, and made an agreement with them that they were not to be put to death: and the chiefs of the people took an oath to them. ¹⁶ Now three days after, when they had made this agreement with them, they had word that these men were their neighbours, living near them. ¹⁷ And the children of Israel went forward on their journey, and on the third day came to their towns. Now their towns were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim. ¹⁸ And the children of Israel did not put them to death, because the chiefs of the people had taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. And all the people made an outcry against the chiefs. ¹⁹ But all the chiefs said to the people, We have taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, and so we may not put our hands on them. ²⁰ This is what we will do to them: we will not put them to death, for fear that wrath may come on us because of our oath to them. ²¹ Keep them living, and let them be servants, cutting wood and getting water for all the people. And all the people did as the chiefs had said to them. ²² Then Joshua sent for them, and said to them, Why have you been false to us, saying, We are very far from you, when you are living among us? ²³ Now because of this you are cursed, and you will for ever be our servants, cutting wood and getting water for the house of my God. ²⁴ And, answering Joshua, they said, Because it came to the ears of your servants that the Lord your God had given orders to his servant Moses to give you all this land, and to send destruction on all the people living in it, because of you; so, fearing greatly for our lives because of you, we have done this. ²⁵ And now we are in your hands: do to us whatever seems good and right to you. ²⁶ So he kept them safe from the children of Israel, and did not let them be put to death. ²⁷ And that day Joshua made them servants, cutting wood and getting water for the people and for the altar of the Lord, in the place marked out by him, to this day.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a treaty with them, to let them live. And the rulers of the congregation swore to them. ¹⁶ And it happened at the end of three days after they had made a treaty with them, they heard that they were their neighbors and that they lived among them. ¹⁷ And the sons of Israel journeyed and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim. ¹⁸ And the sons of Israel did not strike them, because the rulers of the congregation had sworn to them by Jehovah, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the rulers. ¹⁹ But all the rulers said to the congregation, We have sworn to them by Jehovah, the God of Israel. Now, therefore, we may not touch them. ²⁰ This we will do to them. We will even let them live, lest wrath be on us because of the oath which we swore to them. ²¹ And the rulers said to them, Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the rulers had promised them. ²² And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have you fooled us saying, We are very far from you, when you dwell among us? ²³ And now you are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being slaves and woodcutters and drawers of water for the house of my God. ²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, Because it was certainly told your servants how Jehovah your God commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all those who lived in the land from before you; therefore, we were very much afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in your hand. As it seems good and right to you to do to us, do it. ²⁶ And so he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, so that they did not kill them. ²⁷ And Joshua made them that day woodcutters and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Jehovah, even to this day, in the place which He should choose.

And we did this thing. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in your hand. Do whatever is good, and as is right in your eyes to do. ²⁶ And he did so to them, and delivered them from the hand of the sons of Israel.

15 H3091 Joshua H6213 made H7965 peace H6213 with them, and made H1285 a covenant H2421 with them, to let them live. H5387 The princes H5712 of the congregation H7650 swore to them.

16 H7097 It happened at the end H7969 of three H3117 days H310 after H3772 they had made H1285 a covenant H8085 with them, that they heard H7138 that they were their neighbors, H3427 and that they lived H7130 among them.

17 H1121 The children H3478 of Israel H5265 traveled H935 and came H5892 to their cities H7992 on the third H3117 day. H5892 Now their cities H1391 were Gibeon, H3716 Chephirah, H881 Beeroth, H7157 and Kiriath Jearim.

18 H1121 The children H3478 of Israel H5221 didn't strike H5387 them, because the princes H5712 of the congregation H7650 had sworn H3068 to them by Yahweh, H430 the God H3478 of Israel. H5712 All the congregation H3885 murmured H5387 against the princes.

19 H5387 But all the princes H559 said H5712 to all the congregation, H7650 "We have sworn H3068 to them by Yahweh, H430 the God H3478 of Israel: H3201 now therefore we may H5060 not touch them.

20 H6213 This we will do H2421 to them, and let them live; H7110 lest wrath H7621 be on us, because of the oath H7650 which we swore to them."

21 H5387 The princes H559 said H2421 to them, "Let them live, H6086 so they became wood H2404 cutters H7579 and drawers H4325 of water H5712 for all the congregation, H5387 as the princes H1696 had spoken to them."

22 H3091 Joshua H7121 called H1696 for them, and he spoke H559 to them, saying, H7411 "Why have you deceived H559 us, saying, H3966 ‘We are very H7350 far H3427 from you,' when you live H7130 among us?

23 H779 Now therefore you are cursed, H3772 and some of you will never fail H5650 to be bondservants, H6086 both wood H2404 cutters H7579 and drawers H4325 of water H1004 for the house H430 of my God."

24 H6030 They answered H3091 Joshua, H559 and said, H5650 "Because your servants H5046 were certainly H5046 told H3068 how Yahweh H430 your God H6680 commanded H5650 his servant H4872 Moses H5414 to give H776 you all the land, H8045 and to destroy H3427 all the inhabitants H776 of the land H6440 from before H3966 you. Therefore we were very H3372 afraid H5315 for our lives H6440 because H6213 of you, and have done H1697 this thing.

25 H2009 Now, behold, we H3027 are in your hand. H6213 Do H5869 to us as it seems H2896 good H3477 and right H6213 to you to do."

26 H6213 He did H5337 so to them, and delivered H3027 them out of the hand H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel, H2026 so that they didn't kill them.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ ¶ And Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live; also the princes of the congregation swore unto them. ¹⁶ At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard how they were their neighbours and that they dwelt among them. ¹⁷ And the sons of Israel journeyed and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kirjathjearim. ¹⁸ And the sons of Israel did not smite them because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes. ¹⁹ But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel; therefore, now we may not touch them. ²⁰ This we will do to them; we will let them live lest wrath come upon us because of the oath which we swore unto them. ²¹ 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 said unto them. ²² ¶ And Joshua called for them, and spoke unto them saying, Why have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you, when ye dwell among us? ²³ Now, therefore, ye are cursed, and ye shall always be slaves and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God. ²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, Because it was certainly told thy slaves how the LORD thy God commanded his slave Moses that he was to give you the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore, we feared greatly of our lives because of you and have done this thing. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in thy hand; as it seems good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. ²⁶ And so did he unto them; he delivered them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, so that they did not slay them. ²⁷ And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD, in the place which he should choose; which they are even unto this day.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and they made a covenant with them to preserve them; and the princes of the congregation swore to them. ¹⁶ And it came to pass, three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were close neighbors of theirs, and that they dwelt among them. ¹⁷ And the children of Israel departed and came to their cities; and their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and the cities of Jearim. ¹⁸ But the children of Israel did not fight with them, because all the princes swore to them by the Lord God of Israel; and all the congregation murmured at the princes. ¹⁹ And the princes said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel, and now we shall not be able to touch them. ²⁰ This we will do: take them alive, and we will preserve them: so there shall not be wrath against us by reason of the oath which we swore to them. ²¹ They shall live, and shall be woodcutters and water carriers to all the congregation, as the princes said to them. ²² And Joshua called them together and said to them, Why have you deceived me, saying, We live very far from you; whereas you are fellow countrymen of those who dwell among us? ²³ And now you are cursed. There shall not fail of you a slave, or a woodcutter, or a water carrier to me and my God. ²⁴ And they answered Joshua, saying, It was reported to us what the Lord your God commanded His servant Moses, to give you this land, and to destroy us and all that dwelt on it from before you, and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and therefore we did this thing. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in your power; do to us as it is pleasing to you, and as it seems good to you. ²⁶ And they did so to them. And Joshua rescued them in that day out of the hands of the children of Israel, and they did not kill them. ²⁷ And in that day, Joshua made them woodcutters and water carriers to the whole congregation, and for the altar of God. Therefore the inhabitants of Gibeon became woodcutters and water carriers for the altar of God to this day, even for the place which the Lord should choose.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and they made a covenant with them to preserve them; and the princes of the congregation sware to them. ¹⁶ And it came to pass three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were near neighbors, and that they lived among them. ¹⁷ And the children of Israel departed and came to their cities; and their cities [were] Gabaon, and Kephira, and Berot, and the cities of Jarin. ¹⁸ Land the children of Israel fought not with them, because all the princes sware to them by the Lord God of Israel; and all the congregation murmured at the princes. ¹⁹ And the princes said to all the congregation: We have sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel, and now we shall not be able to touch them. ²⁰ This we will do; take them alive, and we will preserve them: so there shall not be wrath against us by reason of the oath which we swore to them. ²¹ They shall live, and shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes said to them. ²² And Joshua called them together and said to them, Why have you⌃ deceived me, saying, We live very far from you; whereas you⌃ are fellow-countrymen of those who dwell among us? ²³ And now you⌃ are cursed: there shall not fail of you a slave, or a hewer of wood, or a drawer of water to me and my God. ²⁴ And they answered Joshua, saying, It was reported to us what the Lord your God charged his servant Moses, to give you this land, and to destroy us and all that lived on it from before you; and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and [therefore] we did this thing. ²⁵ And now, behold, we [are] in your power; do to us as it is pleasing to you, and as it seems [good] to you. ²⁶ And they did so to them; and Joshua rescued them in that day out of the hands of the children of Israel, and they did not kill them. ²⁷ And Joshua made them in that day hewers of wood and drawers of water to the whole congregation, and for the altar of God: therefore the inhabitants of Gabaon became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the altar of God until this day, even for the place which the Lord should choose.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live. The leaders of the congregation ratified it by an oath. ¹⁶ At the end of three days after they had made a treaty with them, they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they lived among them. ¹⁷ The children of Israel journeyed to their cities on the third day. Their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim. ¹⁸ The children of Israel did not kill them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by Jehovah God of Israel. The entire congregation murmured against the princes. ¹⁹ But all the leaders said to the entire congregation: »We have sworn to them by Jehovah the God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them. ²⁰ »This we will do to them. We will even let them live in case we become angry. This is because of the oath we swore to them.« ²¹ The leaders said to them: »Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water to the entire congregation as the leaders had promised them. ²² Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying: »Why did you deceive us, saying: ‘We are very far from you’ when you dwell among us? ²³ Now you are cursed, and none of you will be freed from being slaves, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.« ²⁴ They answered Joshua: »For the reason that it was absolutely told to your servants, how Jehovah your God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and destroy all the inhabitants of the land. Therefore we were very afraid for our lives because of you. So we did this thing. ²⁵ »Now we are in your hands. Do to us what seems good and right to you.« ²⁶ Joshua saved them from the children of Israel. They did not kill them. ²⁷ Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Jehovah, even to this day, in the place he should choose.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ They made a treaty with them, guaranteeing their lives with a covenant, and the leaders of the congregation confirmed it with an oath to them.
¹⁶ But three days after they had made the treaty with them, they learned that they were their neighbors and were living in their midst. ¹⁷ So the Israelis set out for their cities and three days later they reached their cities of Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim. ¹⁸ The Israelis did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had made an oath with them in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel. Nevertheless, the entire congregation grumbled against their leaders.
¹⁹ Then all of the leaders spoke to the entire congregation, “We have sworn to them in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, and we cannot touch them. ²⁰ So this is what we’ll do to them: we’ll let them live, so that wrath won’t come upon us because of the oath that we swore to them.”
²¹ The leaders told them, “Let them live.” So they became wood cutters and water carriers for the entire congregation, which is what the leaders had decided concerning them.
²² Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and asked them, “Why did you deceive us by saying ‘We live far away from you,’ even though you were, in fact, living in our midst? ²³ Now therefore you are under a curse. Some of you will always be slaves, wood cutters, and water carriers for the house of my God.”
²⁴ They replied to Joshua, “Because your servants had been informed that the LORD your God had certainly commanded his servant Moses to give you the entire land and to destroy all of the inhabitants of the land before you. So we were terrified for our lives because of you. That’s why we did this. ²⁵ Now we’re under your control: do to us as it seems good and right in your opinion.”
²⁶ So this is what Joshua did for them: he saved them from the Israelis, and they did not kill them. ²⁷ However, on that very day Joshua made them become wood cutters and water carriers for the congregation and for the LORD’s altar in the place that he should choose, and this tradition continues to this day.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them, and _⌊he made a covenant with them_⌋* to allow them to live happily, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them. ¹⁶ And it happened that at the end of three days, after they made a covenant with them, they heard that _⌊they were their neighbors_⌋* and living among them. ¹⁷ And the _⌊Israelites_⌋* set out and went to their cities on the third day (their cities were Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim). ¹⁸ But the _⌊Israelites_⌋* did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by Yahweh the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured _⌊against their leaders_⌋.* ¹⁹ But all the leaders of the congregation said, "We have sworn to them by Yahweh the God of Israel, and so we cannot touch them. ²⁰ This we will do to them: we will let them live so that wrath will not be on us because of the oath we swore to them." ²¹ And the leaders* said to them, "Let them live." So they became woodcutters and water carriers for all the congregation, just as the leaders had said to them. ²² And Joshua summoned them and said, "Why have you deceived us saying, 'We are very far from you' when you are living among us? ²³ Therefore you are cursed; some of you will always be slaves as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God." ²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, "Because it was told with certainty to your servants that Yahweh your God commanded Moses his servant to give to you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you, so we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and so we did this thing. ²⁵ So then, look, we are in your hand; do with us whatever seems good and right in your eyes." ²⁶ So he did this to them: he saved them from the hand of the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* and they did not kill them. ²⁷ And that day Joshua made them woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and for the altar of Yahweh, to this day, in the place that he should choose.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them. ¹⁶ Three days after they had made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites learned that they were neighbors, living among them. ¹⁷ So the Israelites set out and on the third day arrived at their cities—Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim. ¹⁸ But 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. ¹⁹ All the leaders answered, “We have sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel, and now we cannot touch them. ²⁰ This 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.” ²¹ They continued, “Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers for the whole congregation.” So the leaders kept their promise. ²² Then 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? ²³ Now therefore you are under a curse and will perpetually serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.” ²⁴ The 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. ²⁵ Now we are in your hands. Do to us whatever seems good and right to you.” ²⁶ So Joshua did this and delivered them from the hands of the Israelites, and they did not kill the Gibeonites. ²⁷ On 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.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them to let them live and the rulers of the congregation swore to them. ¹⁶ And it happened at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors and that they dwelt among them.
¹⁷ And the sons of Israel journeyed and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim. ¹⁸ And the sons of Israel did not kill* them, because the rulers of the congregation had sworn to them by Jehovah, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the rulers. ¹⁹ But all the rulers said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by Jehovah, the God of Israel, now therefore we may not touch them.
²⁰ This we will do to them and let them live, lest wrath be upon us because of the oath which we swore to them. ²¹ And the rulers said to them, Let them live. So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the rulers had spoken to them.
²² And Joshua called for them and he spoke to them, saying, Why have you* beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you*, when you* dwell among us? ²³ Now therefore you* are cursed and there will never fail to be bondmen of you*, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, Because it was certainly told your servants, how that Jehovah your 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 very afraid for our lives because of you* and have done this thing. ²⁵ And now, behold, we are in your hand. As it seems good and right to you to do to us, do. ²⁶ And so he did to them and delivered them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, that they did not kill them. ²⁷ And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of Jehovah to this day in the place which he should choose.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ ¶ Josué leur accorda donc la paix; il fit avec eux une alliance qui les préserva de tout dommage, et les chefs de la synagogue leur prêtèrent serment. ¹⁶ Trois jours après la conclusion de l’alliance, on leur apprit que c’étaient des voisins, et qu’ils habitaient leur territoire. ¹⁷ Ensuite, les fils d’Israël levèrent leur camp, et eux allèrent à leurs villes; or, leurs villes étaient Gabaon, Caphira, Beroth et Cariathiarim. ¹⁸ Mais les fils d’Israël ne les combattirent point, parce que tous les chefs leur avaient prêté serment, au nom du Seigneur Dieu d’Israël. Et tout le peuple se prit à murmurer contre les chefs. ¹⁹ Et les chefs dirent à tout le peuple: Nous leur avons prêté serment au nom du Seigneur Dieu d’Israël, et maintenant nous ne pouvons les toucher. ²⁰ Voici ce que nous ferons: accordons-leur la vie et réservons-les, et il n’y aura point contre nous de colère, à cause du serment que nous leur avons prêté. ²¹ Ils vivront et ils seront les fendeurs de bois, les porteurs d’eau de toute la synagogue, comme les chefs le leur ont dit. ²² ¶ Et Josué, les ayant appelés auprès de lui, leur dit: Pourquoi m’avez-vous trompé, disant: Nous sommes très-éloignés de toi; tandis que vous êtes de ceux qui habitent le territoire qui nous appartient? ²³ Maintenant, vous voici nappés de malédiction; jamais vous ne cesserez d’être esclaves, fendeurs de bois, porteurs d’eau à mon service et au service de mon Dieu. ²⁴ Et ils répondirent à Josué, disant: On nous a rapporté que le Seigneur ton Dieu a prescrit à Moïse, son serviteur, de prendre possession de cette terre et d’exterminer devant vous, nous et tous ceux qui l’habitent; à votre approche, nous avons donc été remplis de crainte pour notre vie, et nous avons fait cette chose. ²⁵ Maintenant, voilà que nous sommes en vos mains; faites de nous ce qui vous sera agréable, ce que vous jugerez à propos. ²⁶ Or, voilà ce qu’on fit à leur égard: ce jour-là même, Josué les retira des mains des fils d’Israël, et ceux-ci ne les tuèrent point; ²⁷ Et ce jour-là même, Josué en fit des fendeurs de bois, des porteurs d’eau pour tout le peuple, et pour l’autel du Seigneur. A cause de cela, les Gabaonites devinrent fendeurs de bois et porteurs d’eau pour l’autel du Seigneur; ils le sont encore de nos jours, et ils doivent servir au lieu qu’aura choisi le Seigneur.

Et Josué fit la paix avec eux, et traita alliance avec eux, pour les laisser vivre; et les princes de l'assemblée s'obligèrent envers eux par serment. ¹⁶ Et il arriva qu'au bout de trois jours, après avoir traité alliance avec eux, ils entendirent qu'ils étaient leurs voisins, et qu'ils habitaient au milieu d'eux. ¹⁷ Et les fils d'Israël partirent, et vinrent à leurs villes, le troisième jour. Et leurs villes étaient Gabaon, et Kephira, et Beéroth, et Kiriath-Jéarim. ¹⁸ Et les fils d'Israël ne les frappèrent point, car les princes de l'assemblée s'étaient obligés envers eux par serment au nom de l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël; et toute l'assemblée murmura contre les princes. ¹⁹ Et tous les princes dirent à toute l'assemblée: Nous nous sommes obligés envers eux par serment au nom de l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël; et maintenant, nous ne pouvons pas les toucher. ²⁰ Faisons-leur ceci, et laissons-les vivre, et il n'y aura point de colère sur nous à cause de notre serment. ²¹ Et les princes leur dirent: Qu'ils vivent. Et ils furent coupeurs de bois et puiseurs d'eau pour toute l'assemblée, comme les princes avaient dit à leur égard. ²²
Et Josué les appela, et leur parla, disant: Pourquoi nous avez-vous trompés, en disant: Nous sommes très-éloignés de vous, tandis que vous habitez au milieu de nous? ²³ Or maintenant, vous êtes maudits, et vous ne cesserez jamais d'être serviteurs, coupeurs de bois et puiseurs d'eau pour la maison de mon Dieu. ²⁴ Et ils répondirent à Josué, et dirent: Parce qu'il a été clairement déclaré à tes serviteurs, que l'Éternel, ton Dieu, avait commandé à Moïse, son serviteur, de vous donner tout le pays et d'exterminer tous les habitants du pays devant vous; et nous avons beaucoup craint pour nos vies à cause de vous, et nous avons fait cela. ²⁵ Et maintenant nous voici en ta main; fais comme il est bon et droit à tes yeux de nous faire. ²⁶ Et il leur fit ainsi, et les sauva de la main des fils d'Israël; et ils ne les tuèrent pas. ²⁷ Et en ce jour-là Josué les établit coupeurs de bois et puiseurs d'eau pour l'assemblée et pour l'autel de l'Éternel, jusqu'à ce jour, dans le lieu qu'il choisirait.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Car Josué fit la paix avec eux, et traita avec eux cette alliance, qu'il les laisserait vivre; et les principaux de l'assemblée leur en firent le serment. ¹⁶ Mais il arriva trois jours après l'alliance traitée avec eux, qu'ils apprirent que c'étaient leurs voisins, et qu'ils habitaient parmi eux. ¹⁷ Car les enfants d'Israël partirent, et vinrent en leurs villes le troisième jour. Or leurs villes étaient Gabaon, Képhira, Beeroth, et Kirjath-jéharim. ¹⁸ Et les enfants d'Israël ne les frappèrent point, parce que les principaux de l'assemblée leur avaient fait serment par l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël; mais toute l'assemblée murmura contre les principaux. ¹⁹ Alors tous les principaux dirent à toute l'assemblée : Nous leur avons fait serment par l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël; c'est pourquoi nous ne les pouvons pas maintenant toucher. ²⁰ Faisons leur ceci, et qu'on les laisse vivre, afin qu'il n'y ait point de colère contre nous, à cause du serment que nous leur avons fait. ²¹ Les principaux donc leur dirent qu'ils vivraient; mais ils furent employés à couper le bois, et à puiser l'eau pour toute l'assemblée, comme les principaux le leur dirent. ²² Car Josué les appela, et leur parla, en disant : Pourquoi nous avez-vous trompés, en nous disant : Nous sommes fort éloignés de vous; puisque vous habitez parmi nous ? ²³ Maintenant donc vous êtes maudits, et il y aura toujours des esclaves d'entre vous, et des coupeurs de bois, et des puiseurs d'eau pour la maison de mon Dieu. ²⁴ Et ils répondirent à Josué, et dirent : Après qu'il a été exactement rapporté à tes serviteurs, que l'Eternel ton Dieu avait commandé à Moïse son serviteur qu'on vous donnât tout le pays, et qu'on exterminât tous les habitants du pays de devant vous, nous avons craint extrêmement pour nos personnes à cause de vous, et nous avons fait ceci. ²⁵ Et maintenant nous voici entre tes mains, fais nous comme il te semblera bon et juste de nous faire. ²⁶ Il leur fit donc ainsi, et il les délivra de la main des enfants d'Israël, tellement qu'ils ne les tuèrent point. ²⁷ Et en ce jour-là Josué les établit coupeurs de bois et puiseurs d'eau pour l'assemblée, et pour l'autel de l'Eternel, jusqu'à aujourd'hui dans le lieu qu'il choisirait.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Josué fit la paix avec eux, et conclut une alliance par laquelle il devait leur laisser la vie, et les chefs de l'assemblée le leur jurèrent. ¹⁶ Trois jours après la conclusion de cette alliance, les enfants d'Israël apprirent qu'ils étaient leurs voisins, et qu'ils habitaient au milieu d'eux. ¹⁷ Car les enfants d'Israël partirent, et arrivèrent à leurs villes le troisième jour; leurs villes étaient Gabaon, Kephira, Beéroth et Kirjath-Jearim. ¹⁸ Ils ne les frappèrent point, parce que les chefs de l'assemblée leur avaient juré par l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, de leur laisser la vie. Mais toute l'assemblée murmura contre les chefs. ¹⁹ Et tous les chefs dirent à toute l'assemblée: Nous leur avons juré par l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, et maintenant nous ne pouvons les toucher. ²⁰ Voici comment nous les traiterons: nous leur laisserons la vie, afin de ne pas attirer sur nous la colère de l'Eternel, à cause du serment que nous leur avons fait. ²¹ Ils vivront, leur dirent les chefs. Mais ils furent employés à couper le bois et à puiser l'eau pour toute l'assemblée, comme les chefs le leur avaient dit. ²² Josué les fit appeler, et leur parla ainsi: Pourquoi nous avez-vous trompés, en disant: Nous sommes très éloignés de vous, tandis que vous habitez au milieu de nous? ²³ Maintenant vous êtes maudits, et vous ne cesserez point d'être dans la servitude, de couper le bois et de puiser l'eau pour la maison de mon Dieu. ²⁴ Ils répondirent à Josué, et dirent: On avait rapporté à tes serviteurs les ordres de l'Eternel, ton Dieu, à Moïse, son serviteur, pour vous livrer tout le pays et pour en détruire devant vous tous les habitants, et votre présence nous a inspiré une grande crainte pour notre vie: voilà pourquoi nous avons agi de la sorte. ²⁵ Et maintenant nous voici entre tes mains; traite-nous comme tu trouveras bon et juste de nous traiter. ²⁶ Josué agit à leur égard comme il avait été décidé; il les délivra de la main des enfants d'Israël, qui ne les firent pas mourir; ²⁷ mais il les destina dès ce jour à couper le bois et à puiser l'eau pour l'assemblée, et pour l'autel de l'Eternel dans le lieu que l'Eternel choisirait: ce qu'ils font encore aujourd'hui.

20 H6213 Voici comment nous les traiterons H8799 H2421 : nous leur laisserons la vie H8687 H7110 , afin de ne pas attirer sur nous la colère H7621 de l’Eternel, à cause du serment H7650 que nous leur avons fait H8738 .

21 H2421 Ils vivront H8799 H559 , leur dirent H8799 H5387 les chefs H2404 . Mais ils furent employés à couper H8802 H6086 le bois H7579 et à puiser H8802 H4325 l’eau H5712 pour toute l’assemblée H5387 , comme les chefs H1696 le leur avaient dit H8765 .

22 H3091 ¶ Josué H7121 les fit appeler H8799 H1696 , et leur parla H8762 H559 ainsi H8800 H7411 : Pourquoi nous avez-vous trompés H8765 H559 , en disant H8800 H3966 : Nous sommes très H7350 éloignés H3427 de vous, tandis que vous habitez H8802 H7130 au milieu de nous ?

23 H779 Maintenant vous êtes maudits H8803 H3772 , et vous ne cesserez point d’être dans la servitude H8735 H5650 H2404 , de couper H8802 H6086 le bois H7579 et de puiser H8802 H4325 l’eau H1004 pour la maison H430 de mon Dieu.

24 H6030 Ils répondirent H8799 H3091 à Josué H559 , et dirent H8799 H5046 : On avait rapporté H8715 H5046 H8717 H5650 à tes serviteurs H6680 les ordres H8765 H3068 de l’Eternel H430 , ton Dieu H4872 , à Moïse H5650 , son serviteur H5414 , pour vous livrer H8800 H776 tout le pays H8045 et pour en détruire H8687 H6440 devant H3427 vous tous les habitants H8802 H776 H3966 , et votre présence nous a inspiré une grande H3372 crainte H8799 H5315 pour notre vie H6440 : voilà pourquoi H6213 nous avons agi H8799 H1697 de la sorte.

25 H2009 Et maintenant nous voici H3027 entre tes mains H6213 ; traite H8798 H5869 -nous comme tu trouveras H2896 bon H3477 et juste H6213 de nous traiter H8800 .

26 H6213 Josué agit H8799 H5337 à leur égard comme il avait été décidé ; il les délivra H8686 H3027 de la main H1121 des enfants H3478 d’Israël H2026 , qui ne les firent pas mourir H8804 ;

27 H3091 mais il H5414 les destina H8799 H3117 dès ce jour H2404 à couper H8802 H6086 le bois H7579 et à puiser H8802 H4325 l’eau H5712 pour l’assemblée H4196 , et pour l’autel H3068 de l’Eternel H4725 dans le lieu H977 que l’Eternel choisirait H8799 H3117 : ce qu’ils font encore aujourd’hui.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Y Josué hizo paz con ellos, y trató con ellos alianza que les dejaría la vida; también los príncipes de la congregación les juraron. ¹⁶ Pasados tres días después que hicieron con ellos el concierto, oyeron como eran sus vecinos, y que habitaban en medio de ellos. ¹⁷ Y salieron los hijos de Israel, y al tercer día llegaron a sus ciudades; y sus ciudades eran Gabaón, Cafira, Beerot, y Quiriat-jearim. ¹⁸ Y no los hirieron los hijos de Israel, por cuanto los príncipes de la congregación les habían jurado por el SEÑOR el Dios de Israel. Y toda la congregación murmuraba contra los príncipes. ¹⁹ Mas todos los príncipes respondieron a toda la congregación: Nosotros les hemos jurado por el SEÑOR Dios de Israel; por tanto, ahora no les podemos tocar. ²⁰ Esto haremos con ellos: les dejaremos vivir, para que no venga ira sobre nosotros a causa del juramento que les hemos hecho. ²¹ Y los príncipes les dijeron: Vivan; mas sean leñadores y aguadores para toda la congregación, como los príncipes les han dicho. ²² Y llamándolos Josué, les habló diciendo: ¿Por qué nos habéis engañado, diciendo, Habitamos muy lejos de vosotros; una vez que moráis en medio de nosotros? ²³ Vosotros pues ahora sois malditos, y no faltará de vosotros siervo, y quien corte la leña y saque el agua para la casa de mi Dios. ²⁴ Y ellos respondieron a Josué, y dijeron: Como fue dado a entender a tus siervos, que el SEÑOR tu Dios había mandado a Moisés su siervo que os había de dar la tierra, y que había de destruir todos los moradores de la tierra delante de vosotros, por esto temimos en gran manera de vosotros por nuestras vidas, e hicimos esto. ²⁵ Ahora pues, henos aquí en tu mano; lo que te pareciere bueno y recto hacer de nosotros, hazlo. ²⁶ Y él lo hizo así; que los libró de la mano de los hijos de Israel, para que no los matasen. ²⁷ Y Josué los constituyó aquel día por leñadores y aguadores para la congregación y para el altar del SEÑOR, en el lugar que él escogiese; lo que son hasta hoy.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Kështu Jozueu lidhi paqe me ta dhe nënshkroi një besëlidhje në bazë të së cilës ata mbeteshin të gjallë; dhe krerët e asamblesë u detyruan të betohen për këto gjëra. ¹⁶ Por tri ditë pas nënshkrimit të besëlidhjes mësuan se ata ishin fqinj të tyre dhe banonin në mes tyre. ¹⁷ Atëherë bijtë e Izraelit u nisën dhe ditën e tretë arritën në qytetet e tyre; qytetet e tyre ishin Gabaoni, Kefirahu, Beerothi dhe Kiriath-Jearimi. ¹⁸ Por bijtë e Izraelit nuk i vranë, sepse krerët e asamblesë u ishin betuar atyre në emër të Zotit, Perëndisë së Izraelit. Mirëpo tërë asambleja murmuriti kundër krerëve. ¹⁹ Atëherë krerët i thanë tërë asamblesë: "Ne u jemi betuar atyre në emër të Zotit, Perëndisë së Izraelit; prandaj nuk mund t'i ngasim. ²⁰ Këtë do t'u bëjmë atyre: do t'i lëmë të gjallë që të mos tërheqim zemërimin e Zotit, për shkak të betimit që u kemi bërë atyre". ²¹ Krerët u thanë atyre: "Le të jetojnë, pra, por do të punojnë si druvarë dhe do të bartin ujë për gjithë asamblenë, siç u kishin thënë krerët". ²² Pastaj Jozueu i thirri dhe foli me ta, duke thënë: "Pse na gënjyet duke thënë: "Ne banojmë shumë larg nga ju, kurse ju banoni në mes nesh?" ²³ Prandaj tani jeni të mallkuar, dhe do të jeni gjithnjë skllevër, druvarë o bartës të ujit për shtëpinë e Perëndisë tim". ²⁴ Atëherë ata iu përgjigjën Jozueut dhe thanë: "Shërbëtorëve të tu u qe thënë qartë që Perëndia yt, Zoti, kishte urdhëruar shërbëtorin e tij Moisiun t'ju jepte tërë vendin dhe të shfaroste para jush tërë banorët e tij. Prandaj ne na hyri një frikë e madhe për jetën tonë nga shkaku juaj, dhe kemi vepruar në këtë mënyrë. ²⁵ Dhe ja, tani jemi në dorën tënde; bëna atë që të duket e mirë dhe e drejtë". ²⁶ Jozueu i trajtoi, pra, në këtë mënyrë: i liroi nga duart e bijve të Izraelit, me qëllim që këta të mos i vrisnin; ²⁷ por po atë ditë i caktoi që të jenë druvarë dhe bartës të ujit për asamblenë dhe për altarin e Zotit, në vendin që ai do të zgjidhte deri në ditën e sotme.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ И заключил Иисус с ними мир и постановил с ними условие в том, что он сохранит им жизнь; и поклялись им начальники общества. ¹⁶ А чрез три дня, как заключили они с ними союз, услышали, что они соседи их и живут близ них; ¹⁷ ибо сыны Израилевы, отправившись в путь, пришли в города их на третий день; города же их были : Гаваон, Кефира, Беероф и Кириаф-Иарим. ¹⁸ сыны Израилевы не побили их, потому что начальники общества клялись им Господом Богом Израилевым. За это все общество Израилево возроптало на начальников. ¹⁹ Все начальники сказали всему обществу: мы клялись им Господом Богом Израилевым и потому не можем коснуться их; ²⁰ а вот что сделаем с ними: оставим их в живых, чтобы не постиг нас гнев за клятву, которою мы клялись им. ²¹ И сказали им начальники: пусть они живут, но будут рубить дрова и черпать воду для всего общества. И сделало все общество так, как сказали им начальники. ²² Иисус призвал их и сказал: для чего вы обманули нас, сказав: „мы весьма далеко от вас", тогда как вы живете близ нас? ²³ за это прокляты вы! без конца вы будете рабами, будете рубить дрова и черпать воду для дома Бога моего! ²⁴ Они в ответ Иисусу сказали: дошло до сведения рабов твоих, что Господь Бог твой повелел Моисею, рабу Своему, дать вам всю землю и погубить всех жителей сей земли пред лицем вашим; посему мы весьма боялись, чтобы вы не лишили нас жизни, и сделали это дело; ²⁵ теперь вот мы в руке твоей: как лучше и справедливее тебе покажется поступить с нами,так и поступи. ²⁶ И поступил с ними так: избавил их от руки сынов Израилевых, и они не умертвили их; ²⁷ и определил в тот день Иисус, чтобы они рубили дрова и черпали воду для общества и для жертвенника Господня; – посему жители Гаваона сделались дровосеками и водоносами для жертвенника Божия, – даже до сего дня, на месте, какое ни избрал бы Господь .

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ فعمل يشوع لهم صلحا وقطع لهم عهدا لاستحيائهم وحلف لهم رؤساء الجماعة. ¹⁶ وفي نهاية ثلاثة ايام بعدما قطعوا لهم عهدا سمعوا انهم قريبون اليهم وانهم ساكنون في وسطهم. ¹⁷ فارتحل بنو اسرائيل وجاءوا الى مدنهم في اليوم الثالث. ومدنهم هي جبعون والكفيرة وبئيروت وقرية يعاريم. ¹⁸ ولم يضربهم بنو اسرائيل لان رؤساء الجماعة حلفوا لهم بالرب اله اسرائيل. فتذمر كل الجماعة على الرؤساء. ¹⁹ فقال جميع الرؤساء لكل الجماعة اننا قد حلفنا لهم بالرب اله اسرائيل. والآن لا نتمكن من مسّهم. ²⁰ هذا نصنعه لهم ونستحييهم فلا يكون علينا سخط من اجل الحلف الذي حلفنا لهم. ²¹ وقال لهم الرؤساء يحيون ويكونون محتطبي حطب ومستقي ماء لكل الجماعة كما كلمهم الرؤساء. ²² فدعاهم يشوع وكلمهم قائلا لماذا خدعتمونا قائلين نحن بعيدون عنكم جدا وانتم ساكنون في وسطنا. ²³ فالآن ملعونون انتم. فلا ينقطع منكم العبيد ومحتطبو الحطب ومستقو الماء لبيت الهي. ²⁴ فاجابوا يشوع وقالوا أخبر عبيدك إخبارا بما امر به الرب الهك موسى عبده ان يعطيكم كل الارض ويبيد جميع سكان الارض من امامكم فخفنا جدا على انفسنا من قبلكم ففعلنا هذا الامر. ²⁵ والآن فهوذا نحن بيدك فافعل بنا ما هو صالح وحق في عينيك ان تعمل. ²⁶ ففعل بهم هكذا وانقذهم من يد بني اسرائيل فلم يقتلوهم. ²⁷ وجعلهم يشوع في ذلك اليوم محتطبي حطب ومستقي ماء للجماعة ولمذبح الرب الى هذا اليوم في المكان الذي يختاره

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ И Иисус сключи мир с тях и направи договор с тях да ги остави да живеят; и първенците на обществото им се заклеха. ¹⁶ А след три дни, след като бяха направили договор с тях, те чуха, че им били съседи и живеели между тях. ¹⁷ Тогава израилевите синове тръгнаха и дойдоха до градовете им на третия ден. А градовете им бяха Гаваон и Хефира, и Вирот, и Кириат-Иарим. ¹⁸ И израилевите синове не ги избиха, защото първенците на обществото им се бяха заклели в ГОСПОДА, Израилевия Бог. И цялото общество роптаеше срещу първенците. ¹⁹ Тогава всичките първенци казаха на цялото общество: Ние им се заклехме в ГОСПОДА, Израилевия Бог, и сега не можем да ги докоснем. ²⁰ Това ще им направим, и ще ги оставим да живеят, за да не дойде гняв върху нас заради клетвата, с която им се заклехме. ²¹ И първенците им казаха: Нека да живеят. Така те станаха дървосекачи и водоносци за цялото общество, както първенците им бяха говорили. ²² А Иисус ги извика и им говори, и каза: Защо ни излъгахте, като казахте: Много сме далеч от вас! — когато живеете между нас? ²³ Затова сега сте прокълнати и никога няма да липсват от вас слуги — и дървосекачи, и водоносци за дома на моя Бог. ²⁴ Тогава те отговориха на Иисус и казаха: Понеже слугите ти бяха сигурно известени, че ГОСПОД, твоят Бог, е заповядал на слугата Си Мойсей да ви даде цялата земя и да изтреби всичките жители на земята пред вас; затова се уплашихме много за живота си заради вас и сторихме това нещо. ²⁵ И сега, ето, ние сме в ръката ти; направи, каквото ти се вижда добро и право да ни направиш. ²⁶ И той им направи така и ги избави от ръката на израилевите синове, и не ги убиха. ²⁷ И в онзи ден Иисус ги направи дървосекачи и водоносци за обществото и за олтара на ГОСПОДА на мястото, което Той би избрал, както са и до днес.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Jošua uglavi s njima mir i sklopi savez s njima da će ih poštedjeti. I glavari se na to zakunu. ¹⁶ A poslije tri dana, pošto su sklopili s njima savez, saznalo se da su im susjedi i da žive usred Izraela. ¹⁷ Tada krenu Izraelci iz tabora i stignu u njihove gradove, a to su bili Gibeon, Kefira, Beerot i Kirjat Jearim. ¹⁸ Ali ih nisu napali sinovi Izraelovi, jer su im se glavari zajednice zakleli Jahvom, Bogom Izraelovim. Ali sva zajednica poče rogoboriti protiv glavara. ¹⁹ Tada svi glavari rekoše zajednici: "Mi smo im se zakleli Jahvom, Bogom Izraelovim, i zato ih ne smijemo dirati. ²⁰ Evo što ćemo: pustimo ih da žive, kako nas ne bi stigla srdžba zbog zakletve kojom smo se zakleli." ²¹ Još dometnuše glavari: "Neka žive i neka budu drvosječe i vodonoše svoj zajednici." Sva zajednica prihvati što rekoše glavari. ²² Jošua pozva Gibeonce i reče im: "Zašto nas prevariste govoreći: 'Vrlo smo daleko od vas', kad eto živite usred nas? ²³ Zato će sada na vama biti kletva i nikada neće nestati među vama ropstva: bit ćete drvosječe i vodonoše za Dom Boga moga." ²⁴ Oni odgovore Jošui: "Sa svih strana dolazili su glasovi nama, slugama tvojim, kako je Jahve, Bog tvoj, odredio Mojsiju, sluzi svomu, da će vam dati svu zemlju i da će istrijebiti ispred vas sve stanovnike ove zemlje; silno smo se uplašili od vas za svoje živote i zato smo učinili ovo. ²⁵ I sada smo, evo, u tvojim rukama: učini s nama što misliš da je dobro i pravo." ²⁶ A on im je učinio ovako: izbavio ih iz ruku sinova Izraelovih te ih nisu pobili. ²⁷ I od toga dana naredi im Jošua da sijeku drva i nose vodu, sve do danas, za zajednicu i za žrtvenik Jahvin na mjestu koje se god izabere.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ A učinil s nimi Jozue pokoj, a všel s nimi v smlouvu, aby jich při životu zanechal; také i knížata shromáždění přísahu jim učinili. ¹⁶ Po třech pak dnech, po té smlouvě s nimi učiněné, uslyšeli, že by velmi blízko jich byli, a že by u prostřed nich bydlili. ¹⁷ Jdouce tedy synové Izraelští, přitáhli k městům jejich třetího dne; města pak jejich byla Gabaon a Kafira a Berot a Kariatjeharim. ¹⁸ Ale nezbili jich synové Izraelští, proto že přísahu jim učinili knížata shromáždění skrze Hospodina Boha Izraelského. A reptalo všecko shromáždění proti knížatům. ¹⁹ Tedy řekla všecka knížata všemu shromáždění: My jsme jim přísahu učinili skrze Hospodina Boha Izraelského, protož nyní nemůžeme se jich dotknouti. ²⁰ Toto jim učiníme: Zanecháme jich při životu, aby nebylo na nás rozhněvání pro přísahu, kterouž jsme jim učinili. ²¹ Řekli jim knížata i to: Nechť jsou živi a drva sekají, a vodu nosí všemu shromáždění. I přestali na tom, jakož jim mluvila knížata. ²² Povolal jich pak Jozue a mluvil k nim, řka: Proč jste nás podvedli, řkouce: Velmi jsme dalecí od vás? A vy u prostřed nás bydlíte. ²³ Protož nyní zlořečení jste, a nepřestanou z vás služebníci, a kteříž by dříví sekali a vodu nosili do domu Boha mého. ²⁴ Kteříž odpovídajíce Jozue, řekli: Za věc jistou oznámeno bylo služebníkům tvým, kterak přikázal Hospodin Bůh tvůj Mojžíšovi služebníku svému, dáti vám zemi tuto, a vyhladiti všecky obyvatele země této před tváří vaší; protož strachovali jsme se vás, bojíce se za životy své před vámi, a učinili jsme to. ²⁵ A hle, nyní v ruce tvé jsme; cožť se dobrého a spravedlivého vidí učiniti s námi, to učiň. ²⁶ I učinil jim tak, a vysvobodil je z rukou synů Izraelských, aby jich nepobili. ²⁷ A ustanovil je Jozue v ten den, aby dříví sekali a vodu nosili všemu shromáždění, i k oltáři Hospodinovu, až do tohoto dne, na místě, kteréž by vyvolil.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Og Josva gjorde Fred med dem og gjorde Pagt med dem, at han vilde lade dem leve; og Menighedens Fyrster tilsvore dem det. ¹⁶ Men det skete, der tre Dage vare til Ende, efter at de havde gjort Pagt med dem, da hørte de, at de vare nær hos dem, og at de boede midt iblandt dem. ¹⁷ Thi der Israels Børn rejste frem, da kom de paa den tredje Dag til deres Stæder; og deres Stæder vare Gibeon og Kefira og Beeroth og Kirjath Jearim. ¹⁸ Og Israels Børn ihjelslog dem ikke; thi Menighedens Fyrste havde tilsvoret dem ved HERREN Israels Gud, og al Menigheden knurrede mod Fyrsterne. ¹⁹ Da sagde alle Fyrsterne til hele Menigheden: Vi have tilsvoret dem ved HERREN, Israels Gud; derfor kunne vi nu ikke røre dem. ²⁰ Dette ville vi gøre dem Vi ville lade dem leve, at der ikke skal komme en Vrede over os for den Eds Skyld, som vi have tilsvoret dem. ²¹ Fremdeles sagde Fyrsterne til dem: Lader dem leve, at de man være Vedhuggere og Vanddragere for hele Menigheden, ligesom Fyrsterne have sagt til dem. ²² Da kaldte Josva ad dem og talede til dem og sagde: Hvi bedroge I os og sagde: Vi bo saare langt fra eder, og I bo dog midt iblandt os ²³ Derfor skulle I nu være forbandede, saa at der ikke skal være nogen iblandt eder, som jo er Træl, Vedhugger eller Vanddrager til min Guds Hus. ²⁴ Og de svarede Josva og sagde: Fordi det blev dine Tjenere sikkert tilkendegivet, hvad HERREN din Gud bød Mose sin Tjener, at han vilde give eder alt Landet og ødelægge alle Landets Indbyggere for eders Ansigt, saa frygtede vi saare for vort Liv for eders Ansigt og have gjort denne Gerning. ²⁵ Men nu, se, vi ere i din Haand som det er godt og som det er ret for dine Øjne at gøre os, det gør! ²⁶ Og han gjorde saaledes mod dem og han reddede dem fra Israels Børns Haand, og de sloge dem ikke ihjel. ²⁷ Og Josva satte dem paa den samme Dag til Vedhuggere og Vanddragere for Menigheden og for HERRENS Alter indtil denne Dag, ved det Sted, som han vilde udvælge.

22 H3091 約書亞 H7121 召了 H559 他們來，對他們說 H7411 ：為甚麼欺哄 H559 我們說 H3966 我們離你們甚 H7350 遠 H3427 呢？其實你們是住 H7130 在我們中間。

23 H779 現在你們是被咒詛 H3772 的！你們中間的人必斷不了 H5650 作奴僕 H430 ，為我　神 H1004 的殿 H2404 作劈 H6086 柴 H7579 挑 H4325 水的人。

24 H6030 他們回答 H3091 約書亞 H559 說 H5046 ：因為有人實在 H5046 告訴 H5650 你的僕人 H3068 ，耶和華 H430 ─你的　神 H6680 曾吩咐 H5650 他的僕人 H4872 摩西 H776 ，把這全地 H5414 賜給 H6440 你們，並在你們面前 H8045 滅絕 H776 這地 H3427 的一切居民 H3966 ，所以我們為你們的緣故甚 H3372 怕 H5315 喪命 H6213 ，就行了 H1697 這事。

25 H3027 現在我們在你手 H5869 中，你以怎樣 H6213 待 H2896 我們為善 H3477 為正 H6213 ，就怎樣做罷！

26 H6213 於是約書亞這樣待 H5337 他們，救 H3478 他們脫離以色列 H1121 人 H3027 的手 H2026 ，以色列人就沒有殺他們。

27 H3117 當日 H3091 約書亞 H5414 使 H977 他們在耶和華所要選擇 H4725 的地方 H5712 ，為會眾 H3068 和耶和華 H4196 的壇 H2404 作劈 H6086 柴 H7579 挑 H4325 水 H3117 的人，直到今日。

15 H3091 于是约书亚 H6213 与他们讲 H7965 和 H3772 ，与他们立 H1285 约 H2421 ，容他们活着 H5712 ；会众 H5387 的首领 H7650 也向他们起誓。

16 H3772 以色列人与他们立 H1285 约 H310 之后 H7097 ，过了 H7969 叁 H3117 天 H8085 纔听见 H7138 他们是近邻 H3427 ，住 H7130 在以色列人中间的。

18 H5712 因为会众 H5387 的首领 H3068 已经指着耶和华 H3478 ―以色列 H430 的　神 H7650 向他们起誓 H3478 ，所以以色列 H1121 人 H5221 不击杀 H5712 他们；全会众 H5387 就向首领 H3885 发怨言。

19 H5387 众首领 H5712 对全会众 H559 说 H3068 ：我们已经指着耶和华 H3478 ―以色列 H430 的　神 H7650 向他们起誓 H3201 ，现在我们不能 H5060 害他们。

20 H6213 我们要如此待 H2421 他们，容他们活着 H7110 ，免得有忿怒 H7650 因我们所起 H7621 的誓临到我们身上。

24 H6030 他们回答 H3091 约书亚 H559 说 H5046 ：因为有人实在 H5046 告诉 H5650 你的仆人 H3068 ，耶和华 H430 ―你的　神 H6680 曾吩咐 H5650 他的仆人 H4872 摩西 H776 ，把这全地 H5414 赐给 H6440 你们，并在你们面前 H8045 灭绝 H776 这地 H3427 的一切居民 H3966 ，所以我们为你们的缘故甚 H3372 怕 H5315 丧命 H6213 ，就行了 H1697 这事。

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Ja Josua teki rauhan heidän kanssansa ja teki liiton heidän kanssansa, että he saisivat elää; ja kansan päämiehet vannoivat heille. ¹⁶ Mutta kolmen päivän jälkeen, sitte kuin he tekivät liiton heidän kanssansa, kuulivat he, että he olivat läsnä heitä ja asuivat heidän keskellänsä. ¹⁷ Kuin Israelin lapset matkustivat, tulivat he kolmantena päivänä heidän kaupunkeihinsa, jotka kutsutaan Gibeon, Kephira, Beerot ja KirjatJearim. ¹⁸ Ja ei Israelin lapset lyöneet heitä; sillä kansan päämiehet olivat vannoneet heille Herran Israelin Jumalan kautta. Ja kaikki kansa napisi päämiehiä vastaan. ¹⁹ Niin sanoivat kaikki kansan päämiehet kaikelle joukolle: me olemme vannoneet heille Herran Israelin Jumalan kautta, ja sentähden emme heihin taida ruveta. ²⁰ Mutta sen me teemme heille: antakaamme heidän elää, ettei viha tulisi valan tähden meidän päällemme, jonka me heille vannoneet olemme. ²¹ Ja päämiehet sanoivat heille: antakaamme heidän elää, että he olisivat halkoin hakkaajat ja veden kantajat kaikelle kansalle, niinkuin päämiehet heille sanoneet ovat. ²² Niin Josua kutsui heitä ja puhui heille, ja sanoi: miksi te olette pettäneet meidät ja sanoneet: me asumme aivan kaukana teistä; ja kuitenkin te asutte meidän seassamme? ²³ Sentähden pitää teidän kirotut oleman, niin ettei teiltä pidä orjat puuttuman, jotka halkoja hakkaaman ja vettä kantaman pitää minun Jumalani huoneeseen. ²⁴ He vastasivat Josuaa ja sanoivat: se on todella sanottu sinun palvelioilles, että Herra sinun Jumalas on käskenyt palveliansa Moseksen antaa teille kaiken tämän maan ja hävittää teidän edestänne kaikki maan asuvaiset; niin me suuresti pelkäsimme henkeämme teidän edessänne ja teimme tämän. ²⁵ Mutta katso, me olemme nyt sinun kädessäs: mikä sinulle näkyy oikiaksi eli hyväksi meille tehdäkses, se tee. ²⁶ Ja hän teki heille niin ja vapahti heitä Israelin lasten kädestä, ettei he lyöneet heitä kuoliaaksi. ²⁷ Niin teki Josua heidät sinä päivänä halkoin hakkaajiksi ja veden kantajiksi seurakunnalle ja Herran alttarille tähän päivään asti, siihen paikkaan jonka hän valitsi.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Niin Joosua takasi heille rauhan ja teki heidän kanssaan liiton, luvaten jättää heidät henkiin; ja kansan päämiehet vannoivat heille valan. ¹⁶ Mutta kolmen päivän kuluttua, sen jälkeen kuin liitto heidän kanssaan oli tehty, saatiin kuulla, että he olivat lähiseuduilta ja asuivat heidän keskellänsä. ¹⁷ Niin israelilaiset lähtivät liikkeelle ja tulivat kolmantena päivänä heidän kaupunkeihinsa; ja heidän kaupunkinsa olivat Gibeon, Kefira, Beerot ja Kirjat-Jearim. ¹⁸ Mutta israelilaiset eivät surmanneet heitä, sillä kansan päämiehet olivat vannoneet heille valan Herran, Israelin Jumalan, kautta. Ja koko seurakunta napisi päämiehiä vastaan. ¹⁹ Silloin kaikki päämiehet sanoivat koko seurakunnalle: "Me olemme vannoneet heille valan Herran, Israelin Jumalan, kautta; sentähden me emme voi koskea heihin. ²⁰ Mutta tämän me teemme heille, jättäessämme heidät henkiin, ettei viha kohtaisi meitä valan tähden, jonka olemme heille vannoneet." ²¹ Ja päämiehet sanoivat heistä: "Jääkööt henkiin, mutta tulkoon heistä halonhakkaajia ja vedenkantajia kaikelle kansalle". Näin päämiehet antoivat käskyn heistä. ²² Silloin Joosua kutsui heidät ja puhui heille sanoen: "Miksi olette pettäneet meidät ja sanoneet: 'Me asumme hyvin kaukana teistä', vaikka asutte täällä meidän keskellämme? ²³ Sentähden olkaa kirotut! Älköön ikinä ketään teistä päästettäkö olemasta minun Jumalani huoneen palvelijana, halonhakkaajana ja vedenkantajana." ²⁴ He vastasivat Joosualle ja sanoivat: "Sinun palvelijoillesi oli kerrottu, että Herra, sinun Jumalasi, oli käskenyt palvelijaansa Moosesta antamaan teille koko tämän maan ja tuhoamaan kaikki maan asukkaat teidän tieltänne. Sentähden me suuresti pelkäsimme henkeämme teidän edessänne ja teimme tämän. ²⁵ Mutta katso, nyt me olemme sinun käsissäsi: tee meille, mikä mielestäsi on hyvin ja oikein." ²⁶ Silloin hän teki heille näin: hän pelasti heidät israelilaisten käsistä, niin etteivät he heitä surmanneet. ²⁷ Niin Joosua sinä päivänä määräsi heidät seurakunnan ja Herran alttarin halonhakkaajiksi ja vedenkantajiksi, aina tähän päivään asti, sitä paikkaa varten, jonka Herra oli valitseva.

Se te lavil Gabawon, lavil Kefira, lavil Beewòt ak Keryat-Jearim. ¹⁸ Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa t' ka touye yo, paske chèf moun Izrayèl yo te fè sèman ba yo nan non Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, yo p'ap fè yo anyen. Lè sa a, tout pèp Izrayèl la t'ap bougonnen sou do chèf yo pou sa. ¹⁹ Men, chèf yo reyini tout moun, yo di yo: -Depi nou fè sèman ba yo nan non Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, nou pa gen dwa manyen yo. ²⁰ Konsa, poutèt sèman nou te fè a, se pou nou kite yo viv.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ És békességesen bánt velök Józsué, és frigyet köte velök, hogy életben hagyja õket, a gyülekezet fejedelmei pedig megesküdének nékik. ¹⁶ De harmadnap múlva azután, hogy frigyet kötöttek vala velök, meghallják, hogy közel valók azok hozzájok, sõt közöttök lakoznak azok. ¹⁷ Elindulának azért Izráel fiai, és eljutának azoknak városaihoz harmadnapon. Városaik pedig valának: Gibeon, Kefira, Beéróth és Kirjáth- Jeárim. ¹⁸ De nem bánták õket Izráel fiai, mivelhogy megesküdtek vala nékik a gyülekezet fõemberei az Úrra, Izráel Istenére, és zúgolódék az egész gyülekezet a fõemberek ellen. ¹⁹ Mondának azért mind a fõemberek az egész gyülekezetnek: Mi megesküdtünk nékik az Úrra, Izráel Istenére, most hát nem bánthatjuk õket. ²⁰ Ezt cselekedjük velök, hogy életben hagyjuk õket, és így nem lesz harag ellenünk az esküvésért, a melylyel megesküdtünk nékik. ²¹ Mondának azért a fõemberek nékik: Ám éljenek!

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Yosua mengadakan perjanjian persahabatan dengan orang-orang Gibeon itu, dan berjanji untuk tidak membunuh mereka. Pemimpin-pemimpin umat Israel juga bersumpah untuk menepati perjanjian itu. ¹⁶ Tapi ternyata, pada hari ketiga setelah perjanjian itu dibuat, orang Israel telah dapat mencapai kota Gibeon, Kefira, Beerot dan Kiryat-Yearim di daerah orang-orang itu. Maka barulah ketahuan bahwa tempat tinggal mereka tidak jauh dari Gilgal. ¹⁷ (9:16) ¹⁸ Tetapi orang Israel tidak bisa membunuh mereka, sebab pemimpin-pemimpin Israel sudah bersumpah kepada mereka atas nama TUHAN Allah Israel. Seluruh umat Israel menggerutu mengenai hal itu kepada para pemimpin mereka. ¹⁹ Tetapi pemimpin-pemimpin itu menjawab, "Apa boleh buat! Kami sudah berjanji kepada mereka dengan sumpah atas nama TUHAN Allah Israel. Sekarang kita tidak boleh berbuat jahat terhadap mereka. ²⁰ Kita tidak boleh membunuh mereka sebab kita sudah berjanji; dan kalau kita mengingkari janji itu Allah akan menghukum kita. ²¹ Jadi, biarkanlah mereka hidup, tetapi kita semua menjadikan mereka tukang belah kayu dan tukang pikul air untuk kita semua." Begitulah yang dianjurkan oleh pemimpin-pemimpin itu. ²² Lalu orang-orang Gibeon itu dipanggil menghadap Yosua. Yosua berkata, "Kenapa kalian menipu kami dan berkata bahwa negerimu jauh sekali, padahal hanya di sini? ²³ Karena kalian berbuat begitu, Allah menghukum kalian. Bangsamu akan selalu menjadi hamba, tukang belah kayu dan tukang pikul air untuk Rumah Allahku." ²⁴ Mereka menjawab, "Kami berbuat begitu karena kami mendengar bahwa TUHAN Allah yang Tuan sembah itu sudah menyuruh Musa, hamba-Nya itu, memberikan kepada Tuan seluruh negeri ini dan membunuh semua penduduknya pada waktu Tuan mengambil tanah itu. Kami takut sekali kalau-kalau kami dibunuh, itu sebabnya kami melakukan semuanya ini. ²⁵ Sekarang kami di dalam kekuasaan Tuan. Perlakukanlah kami menurut yang Tuan pandang baik." ²⁶ Maka inilah yang dilakukan Yosua: ia melindungi orang-orang itu dan tidak mengizinkan orang Israel membunuh mereka. ²⁷ Tetapi mereka dijadikannya hamba--yaitu tukang belah kayu dan tukang pikul air untuk orang Israel dan untuk mezbah TUHAN. Sampai sekarang mereka masih melakukan pekerjaan itu di tempat yang dipilih TUHAN menjadi tempat ibadat baginya.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ E Giosuè fece pace con loro, e patteggiò con loro, che li lascerebbe vivere; e i principali della raunanza lo giurarono loro. ¹⁶ Ma tre giorni appresso ch’ebbero fatto patto con loro, intesero ch’erano lor vicini, e che abitavano nel mezzo di loro. ¹⁷ Perciocchè al terzo giorno, i figliuoli d’Israele si mossero, e vennero alle lor città, ch’erano Gabaon, e Chefira, e Beerot, e Chiriat-iearim. ¹⁸ E i figliuoli d’Israele non li percossero; perciocchè i principali della raunanza aveano giurato loro per lo Signore Iddio d’Israele. E tutta la raunanza mormorò contro a’ principali ¹⁹ E tutti i principali dissero a tutta la raunanza: Noi abbiamo loro giurato per lo Signore Iddio d’Israele; perciò ora non li possiam toccare. ²⁰ Facciamo loro questo, e lasciamoli vivere; acciocchè non vi sia indegnazione contro a noi, per cagione del giuramento che abbiamo loro fatto. ²¹ Così i principali dissero loro, che si lascerebbero vivere; ma furono ordinati tagliatori di legne, e attignitori d’acqua, per tutta la raunanza; come i principali dissero loro. ²² Giosuè adunque li chiamò, e parlò loro, dicendo: Perchè ci avete voi ingannati, dicendo: Noi siamo d’un paese molto lontan da voi; e pur voi abitate nel mezzo di noi? ²³ Ora dunque voi siete maledetti, e giammai non sarà che non vi sieno d’infra voi de’ servi, e de’ tagliatori di legne, e degli attignitori di acqua, per la Casa dell’Iddio mio. ²⁴ Ed essi risposero a Giosuè, e dissero: Noi l’abbiam fatto, perciocchè era stato rapportato per cosa certa a’ tuoi servitori ciò che il Signore Iddio tuo avea comandato a Mosè, suo servitore, di darvi tutto il paese, e di distruggere d’innanzi a voi tutti gli abitanti del paese; laonde noi, temendo grandemente di voi per le nostre persone, abbiamo fatto questa cosa; ²⁵ e ora eccoci nelle tue mani; fa’ inverso noi come ti parrà buono e diritto di farci. ²⁶ Egli adunque fece loro così; e li scampò dalle mani de’ figliuoli d’Israele, sì che non li ammazzarono. ²⁷ E in quel giorno Giosuè li ordinò tagliatori di legne, e attignitori d’acqua, per la raunanza, e per l’Altare del Signore, in qualunque luogo egli eleggerebbe; il che dura fino al dì d’oggi.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ E Giosuè fece pace con loro e fermò con loro un patto, per il quale avrebbe lasciato loro la vita; e i capi della raunanza lo giuraron loro. ¹⁶ Ma tre giorni dopo ch’ebber fermato questo patto, seppero che quelli eran loro vicini e abitavano in mezzo a loro; ¹⁷ poiché i figliuoli d’Israele partirono, e giunsero alle loro città il terzo giorno: le loro città erano Gabaon, Kefira, Beeroth e Kiriath-Jearim. ¹⁸ Ma i figliuoli d’Israele non li uccisero, a motivo del giuramento che i capi della raunanza avean fatto loro nel nome dell’Eterno, dell’Iddio d’Israele. Però, tutta la raunanza mormorò contro i capi. ¹⁹ E tutti i capi dissero all’intera raunanza: "Noi abbiam giurato loro nel nome dell’Eterno, dell’Iddio d’Israele; perciò non li possiamo toccare. ²⁰ Ecco quel che faremo loro: li lasceremo in vita, per non trarci addosso l’ira dell’Eterno, a motivo del giuramento che abbiam fatto loro". ²¹ I capi dissero dunque: "Essi vivranno!" Ma quelli furono semplici spaccalegna ed acquaioli per tutta la raunanza, come i capi avean loro detto. ²² Giosuè dunque li chiamò e parlò loro così: "Perché ci avete ingannati dicendo: Stiamo molto lontano da voi mentre abitate in mezzo a noi? ²³ Or dunque siete maledetti, e non cesserete mai d’essere schiavi, spaccalegna ed acquaioli per la casa del mio Dio". ²⁴ E quelli risposero a Giosuè e dissero: "Era stato espressamente riferito ai tuoi servi che il tuo Dio, l’Eterno, aveva ordinato al suo servo Mosè di darvi tutto il paese e di sterminarne d’innanzi a voi tutti gli abitanti. E noi, al vostro appressarvi, siamo stati in gran timore per le nostre vite, ed abbiamo fatto questo. ²⁵ Ed ora eccoci qui nelle tue mani; trattaci come ti par che sia bene e giusto di fare". ²⁶ Giosuè li trattò dunque così: li liberò dalle mani de’ figliuoli d’Israele, perché questi non li uccidessero; ²⁷ ma in quel giorno li destinò ad essere spaccalegna ed acquaioli per la raunanza e per l’altare dell’Eterno, nel luogo che l’Eterno si sceglierebbe: ed e ciò che fanno anche al dì d’oggi.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Jozuė sudarė su jais taikos sutartį, pažadėdamas palikti juos gyvus, o izraelitų kunigaikščiai prisiekė jiems. ¹⁶ Praėjus trims dienoms po sutarties sudarymo, jie išgirdo, kad tai yra jų kaimynai, gyveną jų žemėje. ¹⁷ Tada izraelitai iškeliavo ir trečią dieną pasiekė jų miestus: Gibeoną, Kefyrą, Beerotą ir Kirjat Jearimą. ¹⁸ Izraelitai nežudė jų, nes tautos kunigaikščiai jiems buvo prisiekę Viešpačiu, Izraelio Dievu, laikytis sutarties. Izraelitai murmėjo prieš kunigaikščius, ¹⁹ kurie sakė: “Mes jiems prisiekėme Viešpačiu, Izraelio Dievu, todėl dabar negalime jų liesti. ²⁰ Štai ką jiems padarysime: paliksime juos gyvus, kad Viešpats nebaustų mūsų dėl priesaikos. ²¹ Tegul jie lieka gyvi, bet padarykime juos malkų kirtėjais ir vandens nešikais Izraeliui, kaip kunigaikščiai jiems pažadėjo”. ²² Jozuė, pasišaukęs gibeoniečius, klausė: “Kodėl mums melavote, sakydami: ‘Mes gyvename labai toli nuo jūsų’, kai gyvenate šalia mūsų? ²³ Todėl dabar jūs esate prakeikti ir visą laiką būsite vergais, malkų kirtėjais ir vandens nešikais mano Dievo namams”. ²⁴ Jie atsakė Jozuei: “Tavo tarnams buvo aiškiai pranešta, kad Viešpats, tavo Dievas, įsakė savo tarnui Mozei jums atiduoti visą šią šalį ir išnaikinti visus šio krašto gyventojus. Mes labai bijojome dėl savo gyvybių ir taip padarėme. ²⁵ Dabar mes esame tavo rankose; pasielk su mumis, kaip tau atrodo teisinga”. ²⁶ Jis paliko juos gyvus ir apsaugojo nuo izraelitų, kurie norėjo juos išžudyti. ²⁷ Jozuė juos padarė malkų kirtėjais ir vandens nešikais Izraeliui ir Viešpaties aukurui iki šios dienos toje vietoje, kurią Viešpats išsirinko.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Tedy z nimi uczynił Jozue pokój, i postanowił z nimi przymierze, aby ich zachował przy żywocie; także przysięgły im książęta zgromadzenia. ¹⁶ Ale po trzech dniach po uczynieniu z nimi przymierza, usłyszeli, że blisko ich byli, a iż w pośrodku ich mieszkali. ¹⁷ A ruszywszy się synowie Izraelscy przyciągnęli do miast ich dnia trzeciego, a miasta ich te były: Gabaon, i Kafira, i Beerot, i Karyjatyjarym. ¹⁸ I nie wytracili ich synowie Izraelscy; albowiem przysięgły im były książęta zgromadzenia przez Pana, Boga Izraelskiego, skąd szemrało wszystko zgromadzenie przeciw książętom. ¹⁹ I rzekły wszystkie książęta do całego zgromadzenia: Myśmy im przysięgli przez Pana, Boga Izraelskiego; przetoż teraz nie możemy się ich tknąć. ²⁰ To im uczynimy, a zachowamy je żywo, iżby nie przyszło na nas rozgniewanie dla przysięgi, którąśmy im przysięgli. ²¹ Nadto rzekły do nich książęta: Niech żyją, a niech rąbią drwa, i niech noszą wodę wszystkiemu zgromadzeniu; i przestali na tem, jako im powiedziały książęta. ²² Potem wezwał ich Jozue, i rzekł do nich, mówiąc: Przeczżeście nas oszukali, powiadając: Dalekimiśmy od was bardzo, a wy w pośrodku nas mieszkacie? ²³ A tak teraz przeklęci jesteście, i nie ustaną z was słudzy, i rąbiący drwa, i noszący wodę do domu Boga mego. ²⁴ Którzy odpowiedzieli Jozuemu, i rzekli: Zapewne oznajmiono było sługom twoim, jako był rozkazał Pan, Bóg twój, Mojżeszowi słudze swemu, aby wam dał wszystkę ziemię, a iżby wygładził wszystkie mieszkające w tej ziemi przed twarzą waszą; przetoż baliśmy się bardzo o żywot nasz przed wami, i uczyniliśmy tę rzecz. ²⁵ A teraz otośmy w rękach twoich; coć się dobrego i słusznego widzi uczynić z nami, uczyń. ²⁶ I uczynił im tak, a wybawił je z rąk synów Izraelskich, że ich nie pobili. ²⁷ I postanowił je Jozue dnia onego, aby rąbali drwa, i nosili wodę zgromadzeniu, i do ołtarza Pańskiego aż do tego dnia, na miejscu, które by obrał.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Assim Josué fez paz com eles; também fez um pacto com eles, prometendo poupar-lhes a vida; e os príncipes da congregação lhes prestaram juramento. ¹⁶ Três dias depois de terem feito pacto com eles, ouviram que eram vizinhos e que moravam no meio deles. ¹⁷ Tendo partido os filhos de Israel, chegaram ao terceiro dia às cidades deles, que eram Guibeon, Cafira, Beerot e Quiriat-Iarim. ¹⁸ Mas os filhos de Israel não os mataram, porquanto os príncipes da congregação lhes haviam prestado juramento pelo Senhor, o Deus de Israel; pelo que toda a congregação murmurava contra os príncipes. ¹⁹ Mas os príncipes disseram a toda a congregação: Nós lhes prestamos juramento pelo Senhor, o Deus de Israel, e agora não lhes podemos tocar. ²⁰ Isso cumpriremos para com eles, poupando-lhes a vida, para que não haja ira sobre nós, por causa do juramento que lhes fizemos. ²¹ Disseram, pois, os príncipes: Vivam. Assim se tornaram rachadores de lenha e tiradores de água para toda a congregação, como os príncipes lhes disseram. ²² Então Josué os chamou, e lhes disse: Por que nos enganastes, dizendo: Mui longe de vós habitamos, morando vós no meio de nós? ²³ Agora, pois, sois malditos, e dentre vós nunca deixará de haver servos, rachadores de lenha e tiradores de água para a casa do meu Deus. ²⁴ Respondendo a Josué, disseram: Porquanto foi anunciado aos teus servos que o Senhor teu Deus ordenou a Moisés, seu servo, que vos desse toda esta terra, e destruísse todos os seus moradores diante de vós, temíamos muito pelas nossas vidas por causa de vós, e fizemos isso. ²⁵ E eis que agora estamos na tua mão; faz aquilo que te pareça bom e recto que se nos faça. ²⁶ Assim pois ele lhes fez, e livrou-os das mãos dos filhos de Israel, de sorte que estes não os mataram. ²⁷ Mas, naquele dia, Josué os fez rachadores de lenha e tiradores de água para a congregação e para o altar do Senhor, no lugar que ele escolhesse, como ainda o são.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Og Josva tilsa dem fred og gjorde pakt med dem om at de skulde få leve; og menighetens høvdinger tilsvor dem det. ¹⁶ Men da tre dager var gått efterat de hadde gjort pakt med dem, fikk de vite at de hørte hjemme der i nærheten og bodde midt iblandt dem. ¹⁷ For da Israels barn brøt op, kom de den tredje dag til deres byer; det var Gibeon og Hakkefira og Be'erot og Kirjat-Jearim. ¹⁸ Men Israels barn slo dem ikke ihjel, fordi menighetens høvdinger hadde tilsvoret dem fred ved Herren, Israels Gud. Da knurret hele menigheten mot høvdingene; ¹⁹ men alle høvdingene sa til hele menigheten: Vi har tilsvoret dem fred ved Herren, Israels Gud, og nu kan vi ikke legge hånd på dem. ²⁰ Således vil vi gjøre med dem: Vi vil la dem få leve, forat det ikke skal komme vrede over oss for den eds skyld som vi har svoret dem. ²¹ Høvdingene sa altså til dem*: De skal få leve. Så blev de vedhuggere og vannbærere for hele menigheten, således som høvdingene hadde sagt til dem*. / {* Israels menighet.} ²² Da kalte Josva dem for sig og sa til dem: Hvorfor narret I oss og sa: Vi bor langt, langt borte fra eder, og så bor I midt iblandt oss? ²³ Derfor skal I nu være forbannet; ingen av eder skal slippe for å være træl og hugge ved og bære vann til min Guds hus. ²⁴ De svarte Josva og sa: Dine tjenere hadde fått vite at Herren din Gud hadde sagt til Moses, sin tjener, at han vilde gi eder hele landet og utrydde alle landets innbyggere for eder; da blev vi så redde for at I skulde ta vårt liv; derfor gjorde vi dette. ²⁵ Men nu er vi i din hånd; gjør med oss som det er godt og rett i dine øine! ²⁶ Og han gjorde således* med dem; han reddet dem av Israels barns hånd, så de ikke slo dem ihjel; / {* JOS 9, 21.} ²⁷ men Josva gjorde dem på den samme dag til vedhuggere og vannbærere for menigheten og for Herrens alter, på det sted han vilde utvelge, og det har de vært til denne dag.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Iosua a făcut pace cu ei, şi a încheiat un legămînt prin care trebuia să -i lase cu viaţă, şi căpeteniile adunării le-au jurat lucrul acesta. ¹⁶ La trei zile după încheierea acestui legămînt, copiii lui Israel au aflat că erau vecini cu ei, şi că locuiau în mijlocul lor. ¹⁷ Căci copiii lui Israel au plecat, şi a treia zi au ajuns la cetăţile lor; cetăţile lor erau Gabaon, Chefira, Beerot şi Chiriat-Iearim. ¹⁸ Dar nu i-au bătut, pentrucă fruntaşii adunării le juraseră pe Domnul, Dumnezeul lui Israel, că -i vor lăsa cu viaţă. Şi toată adunarea a cîrtit împotriva căpeteniilor. ¹⁹ Toate căpeteniile au zis întregei adunări:,,Le-am jurat pe Domnul, Dumnezeul lui Israel, şi acum nu putem să ne atingem de ei. ²⁰ Iată ce le vom face: îi vom lăsa cu viaţă, ca să n'aducem peste noi mînia Domnului, din pricina jurămîntului pe care li l-am făcut``. ²¹ ,,Să trăiască``, le-au zis căpeteniile. Dar au fost întrebuinţaţi la tăiat lemne şi la scos apă pentru toată adunarea, cum le spuseseră căpeteniile. ²² Iosua i -a chemat, şi le -a vorbit astfel:,,Pentruce ne-aţi înşelat zicînd:,Sîntem foarte departe de voi`, cînd voi locuiţi în mijlocul nostru? ²³ Acum sînteţi blestemaţi, şi nu veţi înceta să fiţi în robie, să tăiaţi lemne şi să scoateţi apă pentru casa Dumnezeului meu``. ²⁴ Ei au răspuns lui Iosua, şi au zis:,,Robii tăi au auzit de poruncile date de Domnul, Dumnezeul tău, robului Său Moise, ca să vă dea în mînă toată ţara şi să nimicească dinaintea voastră pe toţi locuitorii ei; şi venirea voastră a băgat mare frică în noi cu privire la viaţa noastră: iată de ce am lucrat aşa. ²⁵ Şi acum iată-ne în mînile tale; fă cu noi ce vei crede că este bine şi drept să faci``. ²⁶ Iosua le -a făcut aşa cum hotărîse; i -a izbăvit din mîna copiilor lui Israel, cari nu i-au omorît; ²⁷ dar din ziua aceea i -a pus să taie lemne şi să scoată apă pentru adunare, şi pentru altarul Domnului în locul pe care l-ar alege Domnul: ceeace fac pănă în ziua de azi.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ І вчинив їм Ісус мир, і склав з ними умову, щоб зоставити їх при житті, і присягнули їм начальники громади. ¹⁶ І сталося по трьох днях по тому, як склали з ними умову, то почули, що близькі вони до нього, і сидять вони поміж ними. ¹⁷ І рушили Ізраїлеві сини, і третього дня прибули до їхніх міст. А їхні міста: Ґів'он, і Кефіра, і Беерот, і Кір'ят-Єарім. ¹⁸ І не повбивали їх Ізраїлеві сини, бо начальники громади присягли були їм Господом, Богом Ізраїля. І нарікала вся громада на начальників. ¹⁹ І сказали всі начальники до всієї громади: Ми присягнули їм Господом, Богом Ізраїля, а тепер ми не можемо доторкнутися до них. ²⁰ Оце зробімо їм, позоставимо їх при житті, і не буде на нас гніву за присягу, що ми присягнули їм. ²¹ І сказали до них начальники: Нехай вони живуть. І стали вони рубати дрова та носити воду для всієї громади, як говорили їм начальники. ²² І покликав їх Ісус, і промовляв до них, говорячи: Чому ви обманили нас, говорячи: Ми дуже далекі від вас, а ви ось сидите серед нас? ²³ А тепер ви прокляті, і не переведеться з-посеред вас раб, і рубачі дров, і носії води для дому Бога мого. ²⁴ А вони відповіли Ісусові та й сказали: Бо справді виявлено рабам твоїм, що Господь, Бог твій, наказав Мойсеєві, Своєму рабові, дати вам увесь цей Край, і вигубити всіх мешканців цієї землі перед вами. І ми дуже налякалися за своє життя зо страху перед вами, і зробили оцю річ. ²⁵ А тепер ми оце в руці твоїй: як добре, і як справедливо в очах твоїх учинити нам, учини. ²⁶ І він зробив їм так, і врятував їх від руки Ізраїлевих синів, і не повбивали їх. ²⁷ І дав їх Ісус того дня за рубачів дров та за носіїв води для громади й для Господнього жертівника, і так є аж до цього дня, до місця, яке він вибере.
