Jozye 9
Haitian Creole Version
9 ¶ Nouvèl bagay sa yo rive nan zòrèy tout wa ki t'ap gouvènen lòt bò larivyè Jouden an sou solèy kouche, nan mòn yo, nan plenn yo, sou tout rivaj lanmè Mediterane a, jouk peyi Liban sou bò nò. Te gen wa moun Et yo, wa moun Amori yo, wa moun Kanaran yo, wa moun Ferezi yo, wa moun Evi yo ak wa moun Jebis yo.
2 Yo tout yo mete tèt ansanm pou yo goumen kont Jozye ak pèp Izrayèl la.
3 ¶ Lè moun peyi Gabawon yo vin konnen kisa Jozye te fè moun Jeriko yo ak moun Ayi yo,
4 yo di yo pral pran li nan plan. Yo leve, yo fè pwovizyon, yo chaje bourik yo avèk yon bann vye sak ak veso fèt ak po bèt pou mete diven. Veso yo te tou kreve, yo te pyese nan tout kò yo. Moun Gabawon yo pati.
5 Yo te menm rive mete vye sapat rapyese nan pye yo ak vye rad chire sou yo. Yo pran pen rasi kraze an miyèt moso, yo pote pou manje yo.
6 Yo pati, yo vin jwenn Jozye nan kan Gilgal la. Yo pale ak li ansanm ak mesye pèp Izrayèl yo, yo di yo konsa: -Nou soti nan yon peyi ki byen lwen isit la. Ann pase yon kontra yonn ak lòt non!
7 Men, mesye pèp Izrayèl yo di moun Evi yo konsa: -Pou di se pa toupre la a nou rete? Ki jan nou ta vle pou nou pase kontra ak nou?
8 Moun Evi yo di Jozye: -Se sèvi nou vin sèvi ou! Jozye mande yo: -Men, ki moun nou ye menm? Ki bò nou soti?
9 Yo reponn li: -Mèt, nou soti nan yon peyi byen lwen, paske nou tande pale ki moun Seyè a, Bondye ou la, ye. Nou pran nouvèl tou sa li fè nan peyi Lejip,
10 ak tou sa li fè de wa moun Amori yo ki t'ap gouvènen lòt bò larivyè Jouden an: Siyon, wa peyi Esbon an ak Og, wa peyi Bazan an, ki te rete lavil Astawòt.
11 Lè sa a, chèf nou yo ak tout moun ki rete nan peyi nou an di nou fè pwovizyon pou n' al vwayaje al kontre moun sa yo. N'a di yo konsa men nou vin sèvi yo. Tanpri, pase yon kontra ak nou.
12 Gade pen nou rete. Yo te tou cho jou nou pati vin kontre nou an. Men, koulye a, gade jan yo rasi, jan yo tounen ti miyèt.
13 Lè nou te plen veso diven sa yo, yo te tou nèf. Gade koulye a jan yo plen twou. Gade jan rad nou ak sapat nou fini tèlman nou mache anpil.
14 Chèf pèp Izrayèl yo pran nan sa yo te pote a, san yo pa mande Seyè a sa li di nan sa.
15 ¶ Jozye pase yon kontra ak yo pou yo viv byen yonn ak lòt, li fè kontra ak yo pou li pa touye yo. Chèf pèp Izrayèl yo fè sèman yo p'ap fè yo anyen.
16 Twa jou apre yo te fin siyen kontra a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin konnen moun sa yo te rete toupre a, nan mitan peyi Izrayèl la.
17 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo leve, yo pati dèyè yo. Sou twa jou, yo rive nan lavil kote moun sa yo te rete a. 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. Paske, si nou fè yo anyen, Bondye va pini nou.
21 Wi, se pou yo viv. Men, n'a pran yo pou fann bwa, pou bwote dlo pou nou jan chèf yo te di a.
22 ¶ Jozye fè chache moun Gabawon yo, li mande yo: -Poukisa nou ban nou gwo manti sa a? Nou di nou rete byen lwen, epi se la a, nan mitan nou, nou moun.
23 Poutèt sa, madichon ap tonbe sou nou. N'ap toujou sèvi nou domestik. Depi jòdi a, se nou menm ki pou fann bwa, ki pou bwote dlo nou bezwen pou kay Bondye nou an.
24 Yo reponn: -Mèt, nou te fè sa paske nou te vin konnen se tout bon Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te bay Moyiz, sèvitè l' la, lòd pou li ba yo tout peyi sa a, pou li touye tout pèp ki rete ladan l' pou fè plas pou yo. Konsa, lè nou vin konnen nou t'ap pwoche bò kote nou rete a, nou te pè anpil pou nou pa t' mouri. Se sa ki fè nou te fè sa.
25 Koulye a, nou nan men ou! W'a fè sa ou vle ak nou, jan ou santi ou dwe fè l' la.
26 Se konsa Jozye delivre yo anba men moun pèp Izrayèl yo, li pa kite yo touye yo.
27 Depi jou sa a, Jozye mete yo la pou fann bwa, pou bwote dlo pou pèp Izrayèl la ak pou lotèl Seyè a. Jouk jòdi a, se sa y'ap fè tout kote Seyè a chwazi pou yo adore l' la.
约书亚记 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以色列人被基遍人欺骗
9 住在约旦河西的山区、丘陵以及地中海沿岸、远至黎巴嫩的诸王,就是那些赫人、亚摩利人、迦南人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人的王听说这件事, 2 就联合起来对抗约书亚和以色列人。 3 基遍的居民听说约书亚在耶利哥和艾城所做的事, 4 便想出一个诡计来。他们装作特使,把旧皮袋和缝补过的酒囊驮在驴背上, 5 穿着缝补过的旧鞋和破烂衣服,带着又干又发霉的饼, 6 到吉甲营去见约书亚。他们对约书亚和以色列人说:“我们从很远的地方来求你们跟我们缔结盟约。” 7 以色列人对这些希未人说:“你们也许就住在附近。我们怎么能跟你们缔结盟约呢?” 8 他们对约书亚说:“我们是你的奴仆。”约书亚说:“你们是什么人?从哪里来?” 9 他们答道:“仆人们从很远的地方来。我们听说了你的上帝耶和华的威名,听说了祂在埃及的一切作为, 10 以及祂怎样对付约旦河东的两个亚摩利王——希实本王西宏和亚斯她录的巴珊王噩。 11 因此,我们的长老和人民就派我们带着干粮来迎接你们,甘做你们的仆人,希望跟你们缔结盟约。 12 我们出来的时候带的饼是热的,看啊,现在又干又发霉了。 13 这些皮酒囊原来也是新的,但现在已经破了。因为长途跋涉,我们的衣服和鞋子也都破旧不堪了。” 14 以色列人接受了他们的食物,却没有求问耶和华。 15 约书亚与他们立了和平盟约,容他们存活,会众的首领也向他们起誓守约。
16 立约三天后,以色列人才发现他们原来就住在附近。 17 以色列人启程,走了三天来到他们居住的基遍、基非拉、比录和基列·耶琳各城。 18 会众的首领曾凭以色列的上帝耶和华向他们起过誓,所以不能杀他们。全体会众因此向首领大发怨言。 19 首领便对全体会众说:“我们曾凭以色列的上帝耶和华向他们起誓,我们现在不能动他们。 20 我们要容他们存活,免得我们因违背誓言而惹耶和华发怒。” 21 首领又说:“就容他们存活吧。”首领就叫他们为全体会众劈柴挑水。
22 于是,约书亚召来他们,对他们说:“你们为什么要欺骗我们,说你们住得很远?其实你们就住在附近。 23 因此,你们是受咒诅的。你们要永远做奴仆,为我上帝的殿劈柴挑水。” 24 他们答道:“仆人们这样做是因为害怕丧命。我们听说你的上帝耶和华曾经应许祂仆人摩西,要把这整片土地都赐给你们,并要将这里的居民杀尽。 25 现在我们既然落在你的手中,你们想怎样对待我们就怎样对待吧。” 26 约书亚不让以色列人加害他们,因此他们没有被杀死。 27 那天,约书亚让他们在耶和华指定的地方,为会众和耶和华的祭坛劈柴挑水。他们至今仍做这样的工作。
Joshua 9
New International Version
The Gibeonite Deception
9 Now when all the kings west of the Jordan heard about these things—the kings in the hill country,(A) in the western foothills, and along the entire coast of the Mediterranean Sea(B) as far as Lebanon(C) (the kings of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites,(D) Hivites(E) and Jebusites)(F)— 2 they came together to wage war against Joshua and Israel.
3 However, when the people of Gibeon(G) heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,(H) 4 they resorted to a ruse: They went as a delegation whose donkeys were loaded[a] with worn-out sacks and old wineskins, cracked and mended. 5 They put worn and patched sandals on their feet and wore old clothes. All the bread of their food supply was dry and moldy. 6 Then they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal(I) and said to him and the Israelites, “We have come from a distant country;(J) make a treaty(K) with us.”
7 The Israelites said to the Hivites,(L) “But perhaps you live near us, so how can we make a treaty(M) with you?”
8 “We are your servants,(N)” they said to Joshua.
But Joshua asked, “Who are you and where do you come from?”
9 They answered: “Your servants have come from a very distant country(O) because of the fame of the Lord your God. For we have heard reports(P) of him: all that he did in Egypt,(Q) 10 and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan—Sihon king of Heshbon,(R) and Og king of Bashan,(S) who reigned in Ashtaroth.(T) 11 And our elders and all those living in our country said to us, ‘Take provisions for your journey; go and meet them and say to them, “We are your servants; make a treaty with us.”’ 12 This bread of ours was warm when we packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But now see how dry and moldy it is. 13 And these wineskins that we filled were new, but see how cracked they are. And our clothes and sandals are worn out by the very long journey.”
14 The Israelites sampled their provisions but did not inquire(U) of the Lord. 15 Then Joshua made a treaty of peace(V) with them to let them live,(W) and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath.
16 Three days after they made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites heard that they were neighbors, living near(X) them. 17 So the Israelites set out and on the third day came to their cities: Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth(Y) and Kiriath Jearim.(Z) 18 But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the assembly had sworn an oath(AA) to them by the Lord, the God of Israel.
The whole assembly grumbled(AB) against the leaders, 19 but all the leaders answered, “We have given them our oath by the Lord, the God of Israel, and we cannot touch them now. 20 This is what we will do to them: We will let them live, so that God’s wrath will not fall on us for breaking the oath(AC) we swore to them.” 21 They continued, “Let them live,(AD) but let them be woodcutters and water carriers(AE) in the service of the whole assembly.” So the leaders’ promise to them was kept.
22 Then Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said, “Why did you deceive us by saying, ‘We live a long way(AF) from you,’ while actually you live near(AG) us? 23 You are now under a curse:(AH) You will never be released from service as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”
24 They answered Joshua, “Your servants were clearly told(AI) how the Lord your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you the whole land and to wipe out all its inhabitants from before you. So we feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we did this. 25 We are now in your hands.(AJ) Do to us whatever seems good and right(AK) to you.”
26 So Joshua saved them from the Israelites, and they did not kill them. 27 That day he made the Gibeonites(AL) woodcutters and water carriers(AM) for the assembly, to provide for the needs of the altar of the Lord at the place the Lord would choose.(AN) And that is what they are to this day.
