1 N ow it came about when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country and in the lowland and on all the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, heard of it,

Oo Webi Urdun shishadiisa, iyo dhulka buuraha, iyo dhulka dooxada ah, iyo badda weyn xeebteeda oo ka horraysa Lubnaan boqorradii degganaa oo dhammu markay maqleen, waxaa dhacday inay reer Xeed, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Kancaan, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Yebuusba

2 t hat they gathered themselves together with one accord to fight with Joshua and with Israel.

iswada urursadeen inay isku si ula diriraan Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil.

3 W hen the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,

Laakiinse dadkii Gibecoon degganaa markay maqleen wixii Yashuuca ku sameeyey Yerixoo iyo Aacii,

4 t hey also acted craftily and set out as envoys, and took worn-out sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins worn-out and torn and mended,

iyana markaasay khiyaano sameeyeen, oo intay tageen bay iska dhigeen sidii iyagoo ah wakiillo dalal kale, oo waxay dameerradoodii ku qaateen joonyado gaboobay, iyo sibraarro khamri oo khamri oo gaboobay oo dildillaacay oo la xidhxidhay.

5 a nd worn-out and patched sandals on their feet, and worn-out clothes on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and had become crumbled.

Oo waxay gashadeen kabo duugoobay oo la karkaray, oo waxay xidheen dhar gaboobay, oo kibistii ay soo sahaydeen oo dhammuna waxay ahayd mid engegan oo caaryaysatay.

6 T hey went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country; now therefore, make a covenant with us.”

Oo waxay u tageen Yashuuca oo jooga xeradii ku tiil Gilgaal, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen isagii iyo raggii reer binu Israa'iilba, Annagu waxaannu ka nimid dal fog; haddaba sidaas daraaddeed axdi nala dhigta.

7 T he men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you are living within our land; how then shall we make a covenant with you?”

Oo raggii reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku yidhaahdeen kuwii reer Xiwi, War mindhaa annagaad na dhex deggan tihiin, oo haddaba sidee baannu axdi idiinla dhiganaynaa?

8 B ut they said to Joshua, “ We are your servants.” Then Joshua said to them, “Who are you and where do you come from?”

Oo waxay Yashuuca ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu waxaannu nahay addoommadaada. Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu ku yidhi, Yaad tihiin? Oo xaggee baad ka timaadeen?

9 T hey said to him, “Your servants have come from a very far country because of the fame of the Lord your God; for we have heard the report of Him and all that He did in Egypt,

Kolkaasay waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, Magaca Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah aawadiis ayaannu annagoo addoommadaada ah waddan aad u fog uga nimid, waayo, waxaannu maqalnay warkiisii, iyo kulli wixii uu Masar ku dhex sameeyey oo dhan,

10 a nd all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan who was at Ashtaroth.

iyo kulli wixii uu ku sameeyey labadii boqor oo reer Amor oo ka shisheeyey Webi Urdun, kuwaas oo ahaa Siixon oo boqor ka ahaa Xeshboon, iyo Coog oo boqor ka ahaa Baashaan, oo degganaa Cashtarod.

11 S o our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take provisions in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them and say to them, “ We are your servants; now then, make a covenant with us.”’

Oo odayaashayadii iyo dadkii waddankayaga degganaa oo dhammu waxay nagu soo yidhaahdeen, Sodcaalka aawadiis sahay u qaata, oo taga si aad ula kulantaan iyaga, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Annagu waxaannu nahay addoommadiinna, ee haddaba axdi nala dhigta.

12 T his our bread was warm when we took it for our provisions out of our houses on the day that we left to come to you; but now behold, it is dry and has become crumbled.

Oo kibistan iyadoo kulul baan guryahayagii sahay uga soo qaadannay maalintii aan idiin soo kacnay; laakiinse bal hadda eega, way engegtay, wayna caaryaysatay:

13 T hese wineskins which we filled were new, and behold, they are torn; and these our clothes and our sandals are worn out because of the very long journey.”

oo sibraarradan khamriga oo aannu soo buuxsannay way cusbaayeen, oo bal eega haatan waa dildillaacsan yihiin, oo dharkayaga iyo kabahayagu waxay ku duugoobeen sodcaalkii aad u dheeraa aawadiis.

14 S o the men of Israel took some of their provisions, and did not ask for the counsel of the Lord.

Oo markaasay nimankii wax ka qaateen sahaydoodii, oo Rabbigana talo ma ay weyddiisan.

15 J oshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.

Oo Yashuucana wuu la nabday iyagii, oo axdina wuu la dhigtay inuu naftooda u daayo; oo amiirradii shirkuna way u dhaarteen iyagii.

16 I t came about at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were neighbors and that they were living within their land.

Oo markay axdigii la dhigteen saddex maalmood dabadeed waxay maqleen inay yihiin deriskooda, oo ay dhexdooda deggan yihiin.

17 T hen the sons of Israel set out and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.

Oo reer binu Israa'iil way sodcaaleen, oo maalintii saddexaad waxay yimaadeen magaalooyinkoodii. Oo magaalooyinkooduna waxay ahaayeen Gibecoon, iyo Kefiiraah, iyo Bi'irod, iyo Qiryad Yecaariim.

18 T he sons of Israel did not strike them because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the Lord the God of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the leaders.

Oo reer binu Israa'iilna ma ay layn, waayo, amiirradii shirku waxay iyagii ugu dhaarteen Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil. Oo markaasaa shirkii oo dhammu waxay ka gunuunaceen amiirradii.

19 B ut all the leaders said to the whole congregation, “We have sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, and now we cannot touch them.

Laakiinse amiirradii oo dhammu waxay shirkii oo dhan ku yidhaahdeen, Waxaannu iyaga ugu dhaarannay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil; oo haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waa inaynaan taaban iyaga.

20 T his we will do to them, even let them live, so that wrath will not be upon us for the oath which we swore to them.”

Oo sidan baan u yeelaynaa, oo naftooda ayaan u daynaynaa waaba intaas oo dhaartii aannu ugu dhaarannay daraaddeed cadho inoogu dhacdaaye.

21 T he leaders said to them, “Let them live.” So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the whole congregation, just as the leaders had spoken to them.

Oo amiirradii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Naftooda u daaya, ha noolaadeene. Sidaas daraaddeed waxay shirkii oo dhan u noqdeen kuwo xaabada gura oo biyaha dhaansha, sidii amiirradii kula hadleen iyagii.

22 T hen Joshua called for them and spoke to them, saying, “Why have you deceived us, saying, ‘We are very far from you,’ when you are living within our land?

Markaasaa Yashuuca u yeedhay iyagii, oo intuu la hadlay buu ku yidhi, War maxaad noo khiyaanayseen oo noogu tidhaahdeen, Waannu idinka fog nahay, idinkoo na dhex deggan?

23 N ow therefore, you are cursed, and you shall never cease being slaves, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.”

Sidaas daraaddeed waad habaaran tihiin, oo weligiin laydinka waayi maayo addoommo ah kuwa xaabada u gura, biyahana u dhaamiya guriga Ilaahayga.

24 S o they answered Joshua and said, “ Because it was certainly told your servants that the Lord your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you; therefore we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

Oo waxay Yashuuca ugu jawaabeen, Maxaa yeelay, hubaal waxaa annagoo addoommadaada ah lanoo sheegay sida Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahu addoonkiisii Muuse ahaa ugu amray inuu idin siiyo dalka oo dhan, iyo in dadka dalka deggan oo dhan hortiinna laga baabbi'iyo; oo sidaas aawadeed naftayada aad baannu ugu cabsannay idinka daraaddiin, oo waxanna sidaas baannu u yeelnay.

25 N ow behold, we are in your hands; do as it seems good and right in your sight to do to us.”

Oo haddaba bal eeg gacantaadaannu ku jirnaa. Sidii kula wanaagsan oo kula qumman inaad nagu samaysid yeel.

26 T hus he did to them, and delivered them from the hands of the sons of Israel, and they did not kill them.

Oo sidaas buu u yeelay, oo ka samatabbixiyey gacantii reer binu Israa'iil inaanay dilin.

27 B ut Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the Lord, to this day, in the place which He would choose.

Oo maalintaasuu Yashuuca iyagii ka dhigay kuwo xaabada u gura, biyahana u dhaamiya shirka iyo meesha allabariga Rabbiga, taas oo ku taal meel alla meeshuu doortoba, ilaa maantadan la joogo.
