1 T he kings west of the Jordan, in the hill country and the valleys and beside the Great Sea toward Lebanon all heard what had happened. These kings were of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

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 hey gathered together as one to fight against Joshua and Israel.

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

3 T he people of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai.

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

4 S o they went out to fool him, as men from another land. They took old bags on their donkeys, and skin bags of wine that were old 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 T hey wore old and mended shoes on their feet, and old clothes on themselves. All their bread was dry and broken.

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 among the tents at Gilgal. And they said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country. Now make an agreement 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, “It may be that you are living within our land. How then can we make an agreement 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? 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 name of the Lord your God. For we have heard about Him and all 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 W e heard what He did to the two kings of the Amorites east of 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 leaders and all the people of our country said to us, ‘Take what you need for traveling. Go to meet them and tell them, “We are your servants. Now make an agreement 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 O ur bread was warm when we took it along with what we needed from our houses on the day we left to come to you. But now look, it is dry and broken.

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 skin bags that we filled with wine were new. Now look, they are torn. And our clothes and shoes have become old because of the very long way we had to travel.”

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 food. They did not ask the Lord what they should do.

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

15 J oshua made peace with them and made an agreement with them, to let them live. And the leaders of the people made a promise 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 B ut three days after they had made an agreement with them, they heard that they were neighbors who lived in their land.

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

17 T hen the people of Israel left that place and came to their cities on the third day. Their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, 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 B ut the people of Israel did not kill them because the leaders of the people had made a promise to them by the Lord the God of Israel. All the people complained 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 T hen all the leaders said to all the people, “We have made a promise to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. 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 is what we will do to them. We will let them live, or anger would be upon us for the promise 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 A nd the leaders said to them, “Let them live.” So they cut wood and brought water for all the people, as the leaders had told 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 J oshua called them and said, “Why have you lied to 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 you are cursed. You will never stop being servants, cutting wood and bringing 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 T hey answered Joshua, “Because it was told to your servants that the Lord your God had told His servant Moses to give you all the land and kill all the people of the land in front of you. We were very much afraid for our lives because of you. That is why we 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 see, we are in your hands. Do to us whatever you think is good and right in your eyes.”

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

26 S o he did this to them. He saved them from the hands of the people of Israel. They did not kill them.

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

27 B ut on that day Joshua made them cut wood and bring water for the people of Israel and for the altar of the Lord, at whatever place He chooses. That was to be their work to this day.

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.
