Joshua 9
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Ὡς δ’ ἤκουσαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν Ἀμορραίων οἱ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, οἱ ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ καὶ οἱ ἐν πάσῃ τῆ παραλίᾳ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης καὶ οἱ πρὸς τῷ Ἀντιλιβάνῳ, καὶ οἱ Χετταῖοι καὶ οἱ Χαναναῖοι καὶ οἱ Φερεζαῖοι καὶ οἱ Εὐαῖοι καὶ οἱ Ἀμορραῖοι καὶ οἱ Γεργεσαῖοι καὶ οἱ Ἰεβουσαῖοι,
Now when news of this reached all the kings west of the Jordan—those in the hill country, the foothills (note: Hebrew Shephelah or lowlands; that is, the western foothills of Judea), and all along the coast of the Great Sea (note: That is, the Mediterranean Sea) toward Lebanon (the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites)—
συνήλθοσαν ἐπ’ τὸ αὐτὸ ἐκπολεμῆσαι Ἰησοῦν καὶ Ἰσραήλ ἅμα πάντες.
they came together to wage war against Joshua and Israel.
Τότε οἰκοδόμησεν Ἰησοῦς θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ὄρει Γαιβάλ,
But the people of Gibeon, having heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
καθότι ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς ὁ θεράπων Κυρίου τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, καθὰ γέγραπται ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωυσῆ, θυσιαστήριον ἐκεῖ ὁλοκαυτώματα κυρίῳ, θυσίαν σωτηρίου.
acted deceptively and set out as envoys (note: Or set out with provisions), carrying on their donkeys worn-out sacks and old wineskins, cracked and mended.
καὶ ἔγραψεν Ἰησοῦς ἐπὶ τῶν λίθων τὸ δευτερονόμιον, νόμον Μωυσῆ, ἐνώπιον υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
They put worn, patched sandals on their feet and threadbare clothing on their bodies, and their whole supply of bread was dry and moldy.
καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι αὐτῶν κα ὁ δικασταὶ καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς αὐτῶν παρεπορεύοντο ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ ἀπέναντι, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται ἦραν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου, καὶ ὁ προσήλυτος καὶ ὁ αὐτόχθων, οἳ ἦσαν ἥμισυ πλησίον ὄρους Γαριζείν, καὶ οἳ ἦσαν ἥμισυ πλησίον ὄρους Γαιβάλ· καθότι ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς ὁ θεράπων Κυρίου εὐλογήσοι τὸν λαὸν ἐν πρώτοις.
They went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a distant land; please make a treaty (note: Forms of the Hebrew berit are translated in most passages as covenant; also in verses 7, 11, 15, and 16.) with us.”
καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα οὕτως ἀνέγνω Ἰησοῦς πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ νόμου τούτου, τὰς εὐλογίας καὶ τὰς κατάρας κατὰ πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωυσῆ·
But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you dwell near us. How can we make a treaty with you?”
οὐκ ἦν ἀπὸ πόντων ὧν ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς τῷ Ἰησοῖ ὃ οὐκ ἀνέγνω εἰς τὰ ὦτα πάσης ἐκκλησίας υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, τοῖς ἀνδράσιν καὶ ταῖς γυναιξὶν καὶ τοῖς παιδίοις, καὶ τοῖς προσηλύτοις τοῖς προσπορευομένοις τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
“We are your servants,” they said to Joshua. Then Joshua asked them, “Who are you and where have you come from?”
Καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Γαβαὼν ἤκουσαν πάντα ὅσα ἐποί Κύριος τῇ Ἰερειχὼ καὶ τῇ Γαῖ.
“Your servants have come from a very distant land,” they replied, “because of the fame of the LORD your God. For we have heard the reports about Him: all that He did in Egypt,
καὶ ἐποίησαν καί γε αὐτοὶ πανουργίας, καὶ ἐλθόντες ἐπεσιτίσαντο καὶ ἡτοιμάσαντο. λαβόντες σάκκους παλαιοὺς ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων αὐτῶν οἴνου παλαιοὺς καὶ κατερρωγότας ἀποδεδεμένους,
and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites beyond the Jordan—Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth.
καὶ τὰ κοῖλα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ σανδάλια αὐτῶν παλαιὰ καὶ καταπεπελματωμένα ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν πεπαλαιωμένα ἐπάνω αὐτῶν· καὶ ὁ ἄρτος αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐπισιτισμοῦ ξηρὸς καὶ εὐρωτιῶν καὶ βεβρωμένος.
So the elders and inhabitants of our land told us, ‘Take provisions for your journey; go to meet them and say to them: We are your servants. Please make a treaty with us.’
καὶ ἤλθοσαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Γάλγαλα, καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ Ἰσραήλ Ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν ἥκαμεν, καὶ νῦν διάθεσθε ἡμῖν διαθήκην.
This bread of ours was warm when we packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But look, it is now dry and moldy.
καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τὸν Χορραῖον ὅρα μὴ ἐν ἐμοὶ κατοικεῖς, καὶ πῶς σοι διαθῶμαι διαθήκην
These wineskins were new when we filled them, but look, they are cracked. And these clothes and sandals are worn out from our very long journey.”
καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν οἰκέται σού ἐσμεν. καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς Πόθεν ἐστέ, καὶ πόθεν παραγεγόνατε
Then the men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not seek the counsel of the LORD.
καὶ εἶπαν Ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν σφόδρα ἥκασιν οἱ παῖδές σου ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου. ἀκηκοάμεν γὰρ τὸ ονὸμἄ αὐτου, καὶ ὅσα έποίησεν έν Αἰγὐπτῴ.
And Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.
καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησεν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν τῶν Ἀμορραίων οἲ ἦσαν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, τῷ Σηὼν βασιλεῖ τῶν Ἀμορραίων καὶ τῷ Ὢγ βασιλεῖ τῆς βασᾶν, ὃς κατῴκει ἐν Ἀσταρὼθ καὶ ἐν Ἐδράειν.
Three days after they had made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites learned that they were neighbors, living among them.
καὶ κοὶ ἀκούσαντες εἶπαν πρὸς ἡμᾶς οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἡμῶν καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν ἡμῶν λέγοντες Λάβετε ἑαυτοῖς ἐπισιτισμὸν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν καὶ πορεύθητε εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐρεῖτε πρὸς αὐτούς οἰκέται σού ἐσμεν, καὶ νῦν διάθεσθε ἡμῖν διαθήκην.
So the Israelites set out and on the third day arrived at their cities—Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
οὗτοι οἱ ἄρτοι, θερμοὺς ἐφωδιάσθημεν αὐτοὺς ἐν θησαν καὶ γεγόνασιν βεβρωμένοι·
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.
καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἀσκοὶ τοῦ οἴνου οὓς ἐπλήσαμεν καινούς, καὶ οὗτοι ἐρρώγασιν· καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια ἡμῶν καὶ τὰ ὑποδήματα ἡμῶν πεπαλαίωται ἀπὸ τῆς πολλῆς ὁδοῦ σφόδρα.
All the leaders answered, “We have sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel, and now we cannot touch them.
καὶ ἔλαβον οἱ ἄρχοντες τοῦ ἐπισιτισμοῦ αὐτῶν, καὶ Κύριον οὐκ ἐπηρώτησαν.
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.”
καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἰησοῦς πρός αὐτοὺς εἰρήνην. καὶ διέθεντο πρὸς αὐτοὺς διαθήκην τοῦ διασῶσαι αὐτούς, καὶ ὤμοσαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς.
They continued, “Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers for the whole congregation.” So the leaders kept their promise.
Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας μετὰ τὸ διαθέσθαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς διαθήκην, ἤκουσαν ὅτι ἐγγύθεν αὐτῶν εἰσιν, κα ὅτι ἐν αὐτοῖς κατοικοῦσιν.
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?
καὶ ἀπῆραν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν. αἱ δὲ πόλεις αὐτῶν Γαβαὼν καὶ Κεφειρὰ καὶ Βειρών, καὶ πόλεις Ἰαρείν.
Now therefore you are under a curse and will perpetually serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”
καὶ οὐκ ἐμαχέσαντο αὐτοῖς οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ὤμοσαν αὐτοῖς πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες κύριον τὸν θεὸν Ἰαραήλ· καὶ διεγόγγυσαν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσιν.
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.
καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄρχοντες πάσῃ τῆ συναγωγῇ Ἡμεῖς ὠμόσαμεν αὐτοῖς Κύριον τὸν θεόν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ νῦν οὐ δυνησόμεθα ἅψασθαι αὐτῶν·
Now we are in your hands. Do to us whatever seems good and right to you.”
τοῦτο ποιήσομεν, ζωγρῆσαι αὐτούς, καὶ περιποιησόμεθα αὐτούς· καὶ οὐκ ἔσται καθ’ ἡμῶν ὀργὴ διὰ τὸν ὅρκον ὃν ὠμόσαμεν αὐτοῖς.
So Joshua did this and delivered them from the hands of the Israelites, and they did not kill the Gibeonites.
ζήσονται, καὶ ἔσονται ξυλοκόποι καὶ ὑδροφόροι πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ, καθόπερ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἄρχοντες.
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.
καὶ συνεκάλεσεν αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Διὰ τί παρελογίσασθέ με λέγοντες κατοικούντων ἐν ἡμῖν;
—
καὶ νῦν ἐπικατάρατοί ἐστε. οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἐξ ὑμῶν δοῦλος οὐδὲ ξυλοκόπος ὀπὸς ἐμοὶ καὶ τῷ θεῷ μου.
—
καὶ τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγοντες Ἀνηηἑλη ἡμῖν ὅσα συνέταξεν κύριος ὁ θεός σου Μωυσῇ τῷ παιδὶ αὐτοῦ, δοῦναι ὑμῖν τὴν γῆν ταύτην, καὶ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ἡμᾶς καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐπ’ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν· καὶ ἐφοβήθημεν σφόδρα περὶ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐποιήσαμεν τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο.
—
καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτοῖς οὕτως· καὶ ἐξείλατο αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ χειρῶν υἱῶν ’ισραήλ, καὶ οὐκ ἀνεῖλον αὐτούς.
—
καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ξυλοκόπους καὶ ὑδροφόρους πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ καὶ τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ τοῦ θεοῦ· διὰ τοῦτο ἐγένοντο οἱ κατοικοῦντες Γαβαὼν ξυλοκόποι καὶ ὑδροφόροι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας καὶ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἐὰν ἐκλέξηται κύριος.
