Polyglot Bible: Joshua: Joshua 9

KJV

1  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ which⁸³⁴ were on this side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan,³³⁸³ in the hills,²⁰²² and in the valleys,⁸²¹⁹ and in all³⁶⁰⁵ the coasts²³⁴⁸ of the great¹⁴¹⁹ sea³²²⁰ over⁴¹³ against⁴¹³⁶ Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ the Hittite,²⁸⁵⁰ and the Amorite,⁵⁶⁷ the Canaanite,³⁶⁶⁹ the Perizzite,⁶⁵²² the Hivite,²³⁴⁰ and the Jebusite,²⁹⁸³ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ thereof;

2  That they gathered themselves⁶⁹⁰⁸ together,³¹⁶² to fight³⁸⁹⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ Joshua³⁰⁹¹ and with⁵⁹⁷³ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ with one²⁵⁹ accord.⁶³¹⁰

3  And when the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Gibeon¹³⁹¹ heard^{8085 853} what⁸³⁴ Joshua³⁰⁹¹ had done⁶²¹³ unto Jericho³⁴⁰⁵ and to Ai,⁵⁸⁵⁷

4  They¹⁹⁹² did work⁶²¹³ wilily,⁶¹⁹⁵ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ and made as if they had been ambassadors,⁶⁷³⁷ and took³⁹⁴⁷ old¹⁰⁸⁷ sacks⁸²⁴² upon their asses,²⁵⁴³ and wine³¹⁹⁶ bottles,⁴⁹⁹⁷ old,¹⁰⁸⁷ and rent,¹²³⁴ and bound up;⁶⁸⁸⁷

5  And old¹⁰⁸⁷ shoes⁵²⁷⁵ and clouted²⁹²¹ upon their feet,⁷²⁷² and old¹⁰⁸⁷ garments⁸⁰⁰⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ them; and all³⁶⁰⁵ the bread³⁸⁹⁹ of their provision⁶⁷¹⁸ was dry³⁰⁰¹ and moldy.⁵³⁵⁰

6  And they went¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ Joshua³⁰⁹¹ unto⁴¹³ the camp⁴²⁶⁴ at Gilgal,¹⁵³⁷ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, and to⁴¹³ the men³⁷⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ We be come⁹³⁵ from a far country:^{4480 776 7350} now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore make³⁷⁷² ye a league¹²⁸⁵ with us.

7  And the men³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the Hivites,²³⁴⁰ Peradventure¹⁹⁴ ye⁸⁵⁹ dwell³⁴²⁷ among⁷¹³⁰ us; and how³⁴⁹ shall we make³⁷⁷² a league¹²⁸⁵ with you?

8  And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ We⁵⁸⁷ are thy servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰ And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Who⁴³¹⁰ are ye?⁸⁵⁹ and from whence^{4480 370} come⁹³⁵ ye?

9  And they said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, From a very far country^{4480 776 3966 7350} thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ are come⁹³⁵ because of the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God:⁴³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ we have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the fame⁸⁰⁸⁹ of him, and all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he did⁶²¹³ in Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴

10  And all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he did⁶²¹³ to the two⁸¹⁴⁷ kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ that⁸³⁴ were beyond⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan,³³⁸³ to Sihon⁵⁵¹¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Heshbon,²⁸⁰⁹ and to Og⁵⁷⁴⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Bashan,¹³¹⁶ which⁸³⁴ was at Ashtaroth.⁶²⁵²

11  Wherefore our elders²²⁰⁵ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of our country⁷⁷⁶ spoke⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ us, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Take³⁹⁴⁷ victuals⁶⁷²⁰ with you³⁰²⁷ for the journey,¹⁸⁷⁰ and go¹⁹⁸⁰ to meet⁷¹²⁵ them, and say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, We⁵⁸⁷ are your servants:⁵⁶⁵⁰ therefore now⁶²⁵⁸ make³⁷⁷² ye a league¹²⁸⁵ with us.

12  This²⁰⁸⁸ our bread³⁸⁹⁹ we took hot²⁵²⁵ for our provision⁶⁶⁷⁹ out of our houses^{4480 1004} on the day³¹¹⁷ we came forth³³¹⁸ to go¹⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴¹³ you; but now,⁶²⁵⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ it is dry,³⁰⁰¹ and it is¹⁹⁶¹ moldy:⁵³⁵⁰

13  And these⁴²⁸ bottles⁴⁹⁹⁷ of wine,³¹⁹⁶ which⁸³⁴ we filled,⁴³⁹⁰ were new;²³¹⁹ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they be rent:¹²³⁴ and these⁴²⁸ our garments⁸⁰⁰⁸ and our shoes⁵²⁷⁵ are become old¹⁰⁸⁶ by reason of the very³⁹⁶⁶ long^{4480 7230} journey.¹⁸⁷⁰

14  And the men³⁷⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ of their victuals,^{4480 6718} and asked⁷⁵⁹² not³⁸⁰⁸ counsel at the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

15  And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ made⁶²¹³ peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ with them, and made⁶²¹³ a league¹²⁸⁵ with them, to let them live:²⁴²¹ and the princes⁵³⁸⁷ of the congregation⁵⁷¹² swore⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto them.

16  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at the end^{4480 7097} of three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days³¹¹⁷ after^{310 834} they had made³⁷⁷² a league¹²⁸⁵ with them, that they heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² were their⁴¹³ neighbors,⁷¹³⁸ and that they¹⁹⁹² dwelt³⁴²⁷ among⁷¹³⁰ them.

17  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ journeyed,⁵²⁶⁵ and came⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ their cities⁵⁸⁹² on the third⁷⁹⁹² day.³¹¹⁷ Now their cities⁵⁸⁹² were Gibeon,¹³⁹¹ and Chephirah,³⁷¹⁶ and Beeroth,⁸⁸¹ and Kirjath-jearim.⁷¹⁵⁷

18  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ smote⁵²²¹ them not,³⁸⁰⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ the princes⁵³⁸⁷ of the congregation⁵⁷¹² had sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto them by the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸ And all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁵⁷¹² murmured³⁸⁸⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ the princes.⁵³⁸⁷

19  But all³⁶⁰⁵ the princes⁵³⁸⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation,⁵⁷¹² We⁵⁸⁷ have sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto them by the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore we may³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ them.

20  This²⁰⁶³ we will do⁶²¹³ to them; we will even let them live,^{2421 853} lest³⁸⁰⁸ wrath⁷¹¹⁰ be¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ us, because of⁵⁹²¹ the oath⁷⁶²¹ which⁸³⁴ we swore⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto them.

21  And the princes⁵³⁸⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Let them live;²⁴²¹ but let them be¹⁹⁶¹ hewers²⁴⁰⁴ of wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ and drawers⁷⁵⁷⁹ of water⁴³²⁵ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation;⁵⁷¹² as⁸³⁴ the princes⁵³⁸⁷ had promised¹⁶⁹⁶ them.

22  And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ called⁷¹²¹ for them, and he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ have ye beguiled⁷⁴¹¹ us, saying,⁵⁵⁹ We⁵⁸⁷ are very³⁹⁶⁶ far⁷³⁵⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ you; when ye⁸⁵⁹ dwell³⁴²⁷ among⁷¹³⁰ us?

23  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore ye⁸⁵⁹ are cursed,⁷⁷⁹ and there shall none³⁸⁰⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ you be freed³⁷⁷² from being bondmen,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and hewers²⁴⁰⁴ of wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ and drawers⁷⁵⁷⁹ of water⁴³²⁵ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of my God.⁴³⁰

24  And they answered^{6030 853} Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Because³⁵⁸⁸ it was certainly told^{5046 5046} thy servants,^{5650 853} how that⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ his servant^{5650 853} Moses⁴⁸⁷² to give⁵⁴¹⁴ you all³⁶⁰⁵ the land,⁷⁷⁶ and to destroy^{8045 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land⁷⁷⁶ from before^{4480 6440} you, therefore we were sore³⁹⁶⁶ afraid³³⁷² of our lives⁵³¹⁵ because of^{4480 6440} you, and have done^{6213 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ thing.¹⁶⁹⁷

25  And now,⁶²⁵⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ we are in thine hand:³⁰²⁷ as it seemeth good²⁸⁹⁶ and right³⁴⁷⁷ unto thee⁵⁸⁶⁹ to do⁶²¹³ unto us, do.⁶²¹³

26  And so³⁶⁵¹ did⁶²¹³ he unto them, and delivered⁵³³⁷ them out of the hand^{4480 3027} of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that they slew²⁰²⁶ them not.³⁸⁰⁸

27  And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ made⁵⁴¹⁴ them that¹⁹³¹ day³¹¹⁷ hewers²⁴⁰⁴ of wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ and drawers⁷⁵⁷⁹ of water⁴³²⁵ for the congregation,⁵⁷¹² and for the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day,³¹¹⁷ in⁴¹³ the place⁴⁷²⁵ which⁸³⁴ he should choose.⁹⁷⁷

1 ὡς δ᾽ ἤκουσαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῶν Αμορραίων οἱ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου οἱ ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ καὶ οἱ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ παραλίᾳ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης καὶ οἱ πρὸς τῷ Ἀντιλιβάνῳ καὶ οἱ Χετταῖοι καὶ οἱ Χαναναῖοι καὶ οἱ Φερεζαῖοι καὶ οἱ Ευαῖοι καὶ οἱ Αμορραῖοι καὶ οἱ Γεργεσαῖοι καὶ οἱ Ιεβουσαῖοι

2 συνήλθοσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἐκπολεμῆσαι Ἰησοῦν καὶ Ισραηλ ἅμα πάντες
τότε ᾠκοδόμησεν Ἰησοῦς θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ Ισραηλ ἐν ὄρει Γαιβαλ
καθότι ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς ὁ θεράπων κυρίου τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ καθὰ γέγραπται ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωυσῆ θυσιαστήριον λίθων ὁλοκλήρων ἐφ᾽ οὓς οὐκ ἐπεβλήθη σίδηρος καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν ἐκεῖ ὁλοκαυτώματα κυρίῳ καὶ θυσίαν σωτηρίου
καὶ ἔγραψεν Ἰησοῦς ἐπὶ τῶν λίθων τὸ δευτερονόμιον νόμον Μωυσῆ ὃν ἔγραψεν ἐνώπιον υἱῶν Ισραηλ
καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ δικασταὶ καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς αὐτῶν παρεπορεύοντο ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ ἀπέναντι καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἦραν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου καὶ ὁ προσήλυτος καὶ ὁ αὐτόχθων οἳ ἦσαν ἥμισυ πλησίον ὄρους Γαριζιν καὶ οἳ ἦσαν ἥμισυ πλησίον ὄρους Γαιβαλ καθότι ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς ὁ θεράπων κυρίου εὐλογῆσαι τὸν λαὸν ἐν πρώτοις
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
οὐκ ἦν ῥῆμα ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς τῷ Ἰησοῖ ὃ οὐκ ἀνέγνω Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὰ ὦτα πάσης ἐκκλησίας υἱῶν Ισραηλ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν καὶ ταῖς γυναιξὶν καὶ τοῖς παιδίοις καὶ τοῖς προσηλύτοις τοῖς προσπορευομένοις τῷ Ισραηλ

3 καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Γαβαων ἤκουσαν πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν κύριος τῇ Ιεριχω καὶ τῇ Γαι

4 καὶ ἐποίησαν καί γε αὐτοὶ μετὰ πανουργίας καὶ ἐλθόντες ἐπεσιτίσαντο καὶ ἡτοιμάσαντο καὶ λαβόντες σάκκους παλαιοὺς ἐπὶ τῶν ὄνων αὐτῶν καὶ ἀσκοὺς οἴνου παλαιοὺς καὶ κατερρωγότας ἀποδεδεμένους

5 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

6 καὶ ἤλθοσαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Ισραηλ εἰς Γαλγαλα καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ Ισραηλ ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν ἥκαμεν καὶ νῦν διάθεσθε ἡμῖν διαθήκην

7 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς τὸν Χορραῖον ὅρα μὴ ἐν ἐμοὶ κατοικεῖς καὶ πῶς σοι διαθῶμαι διαθήκην

8 καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν οἰκέται σού ἐσμεν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς πόθεν ἐστὲ καὶ πόθεν παραγεγόνατε

9 καὶ εἶπαν ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν σφόδρα ἥκασιν οἱ παῖδές σου ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου ἀκηκόαμεν γὰρ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησεν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ

10 καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησεν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν τῶν Αμορραίων οἳ ἦσαν πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου τῷ Σηων βασιλεῖ Εσεβων καὶ τῷ Ωγ βασιλεῖ τῆς Βασαν ὃς κατῴκει ἐν Ασταρωθ καὶ ἐν Εδραϊν

11 καὶ 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

12 οὗτοι οἱ ἄρτοι θερμοὺς ἐφωδιάσθημεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἐξήλθομεν παραγενέσθαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς νῦν δὲ ἐξηράνθησαν καὶ γεγόνασιν βεβρωμένοι

13 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

14 καὶ ἔλαβον οἱ ἄρχοντες τοῦ ἐπισιτισμοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ κύριον οὐκ ἐπηρώτησαν

15 καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰρήνην καὶ διέθετο πρὸς αὐτοὺς διαθήκην τοῦ διασῶσαι αὐτούς καὶ ὤμοσαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς

16 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας μετὰ τὸ διαθέσθαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς διαθήκην ἤκουσαν ὅτι ἐγγύθεν αὐτῶν εἰσιν καὶ ὅτι ἐν αὐτοῖς κατοικοῦσιν

17 καὶ ἀπῆραν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν αἱ δὲ πόλεις αὐτῶν Γαβαων καὶ Κεφιρα καὶ Βηρωθ καὶ πόλις Ιαριν

18 καὶ οὐκ ἐμαχέσαντο αὐτοῖς οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ὅτι ὤμοσαν αὐτοῖς πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες κύριον τὸν θεὸν Ισραηλ καὶ διεγόγγυσαν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσιν

19 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄρχοντες πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ ἡμεῖς ὠμόσαμεν αὐτοῖς κύριον τὸν θεὸν Ισραηλ καὶ νῦν οὐ δυνησόμεθα ἅψασθαι αὐτῶν

20 τοῦτο ποιήσομεν ζωγρῆσαι αὐτούς καὶ περιποιησόμεθα αὐτούς καὶ οὐκ ἔσται καθ᾽ ἡμῶν ὀργὴ διὰ τὸν ὅρκον ὃν ὠμόσαμεν αὐτοῖς

21 ζήσονται καὶ ἔσονται ξυλοκόποι καὶ ὑδροφόροι πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ καθάπερ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἄρχοντες

22 καὶ συνεκάλεσεν αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς διὰ τί παρελογίσασθέ με λέγοντες μακρὰν ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐσμεν σφόδρα ὑμεῖς δὲ ἐγχώριοί ἐστε τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν ἡμῖν

23 καὶ νῦν ἐπικατάρατοί ἐστε οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἐξ ὑμῶν δοῦλος οὐδὲ ξυλοκόπος ἐμοὶ καὶ τῷ θεῷ μου

24 καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγοντες ἀνηγγέλη 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

25 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ὑποχείριοι ὑμῖν ὡς ἀρέσκει ὑμῖν καὶ ὡς δοκεῖ ὑμῖν ποιήσατε ἡμῖν

26 καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτοῖς οὕτως καὶ ἐξείλατο αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ χειρῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ οὐκ ἀνεῖλον αὐτούς

27 καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ξυλοκόπους καὶ ὑδροφόρους πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ καὶ τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ τοῦ θεοῦ διὰ τοῦτο ἐγένοντο οἱ κατοικοῦντες Γαβαων ξυλοκόποι καὶ ὑδροφόροι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας καὶ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἐὰν ἐκλέξηται κύριος

Vul

1 Quibus auditis, cuncti reges trans Jordanem, qui versabantur in montanis et campestribus, in maritimis ac littore magni maris, hi quoque qui habitabant juxta Libanum, Hethæus et Amorrhæus, Chananæus, Pherezæus, et Hevæus, et Jebusæus,

2 congregati sunt pariter, ut pugnarent contra Josue et Israël uno animo, eademque sententia.

3 At hi qui habitabant in Gabaon, audientes cuncta quæ fecerat Josue Jericho, et Hai,

4 et callide cogitantes, tulerunt sibi cibaria, saccos veteres asinis imponentes, et utres vinarios scissos atque consutos,

5 calceamentaque perantiqua quæ ad indicium vetustatis pittaciis consuta erant, induti veteribus vestimentis: panes quoque, quos portabant ob viaticum, duri erant, et in frustra comminuti:

6 perrexeruntque ad Josue, qui tunc morabatur in castris Galgalæ, et dixerunt ei, atque simul omni Israëli: De terra longinqua venimus, pacem vobiscum facere cupientes. Responderuntque viri Israël ad eos, atque dixerunt:

7 Ne forte in terra, quæ nobis sorte debetur, habitetis, et non possimus fœdus inire vobiscum.

8 At illi ad Josue: Servi, inquiunt, tui sumus. Quibus Josue ait: Quinam estis vos? et unde venistis?

9 Responderunt: De terra longinqua valde venerunt servi tui in nomine Domini Dei tui. Audivimus enim famam potentiæ ejus, cuncta quæ fecit in Ægypto,

10 et duobus regibus Amorrhæorum qui fuerunt trans Jordanem, Sehon regi Hesebon, et Og regi Basan, qui erat in Astaroth:

11 dixeruntque nobis seniores, et omnes habitatores terræ nostræ: Tollite in manibus cibaria ob longissimam viam, et occurrite eis, et dicite: Servi vestri sumus: fœdus inite nobiscum.

12 En panes quando egressi sumus de domibus nostris, ut veniremus ad vos, calidos sumpsimus; nunc sicci facti sunt, et vetustate nimia comminuti.

13 Utres vini novos implevimus; nunc rupti sunt et soluti. Vestes et calceamenta quibus induimur, et quæ habemus in pedibus, ob longitudinem longioris viæ trita sunt, et pene consumpta.

14 Susceperunt igitur de cibariis eorum, et os Domini non interrogaverunt.

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. Timuimus igitur valde, et providimus animabus nostris, vestro terrore compulsi, et hoc consilium inivimus.

25 Nunc autem in manu tua sumus: quod tibi bonum et rectum videtur, fac nobis.

26 Fecit ergo Josue ut dixerat, et liberavit eos de manu filiorum Israël, ut non occiderentur.

27 Decrevitque in illo die eos esse in ministerio cuncti populi, et altaris Domini, cædentes ligna, et aquas comportantes, usque in præsens tempus, in loco quem Dominus elegisset.
