Joshua 9

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now When these things were heard of, all the kings beyond the Jordan, that dwelt in the mountains and in the plains, in the places near the sea, and on the coasts of the great sea, they also that dwell by Libanus, the Hethite and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite,	1 Και οτε ηκουσαν παντες οι βασιλεις, οι εντευθεν του Ιορδανου, οι εν τη ορεινη και οι εν τη πεδινη και οι εν πασι τοις παραλιοις της θαλασσης της μεγαλης, εως κατεναντι του Λιβανου, οι Χετταιοι και οι Αμορραιοι, οι Χαναναιοι, οι Φερεζαιοι, οι Ευαιοι και οι Ιεβουσαιοι,
2 Gathered themselves together, to fight against Josue and Israel with one mind, and one resolution.	2 συνηχθησαν παντες ομου, δια να πολεμησωσι τον Ιησουν και τον Ισραηλ.
3 But they that dwelt in Gabaon, hearing all that Josue had done to Jericho and Hai:	3 Οι δε κατοικοι της Γαβαων ηκουσαν ο, τι εκαμεν ο Ιησους εις την Ιεριχω και εις την Γαι,
4 Cunningly devising took for themselves provisions, laying old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles rent and sewed up again,	4 και επραξαν και ουτοι μετα πανουργιας, και υπηγον και ητοιμασθησαν με εφοδια, και ελαβον σακκους παλαιους επι των ονων αυτων και ασκους οινου παλαιους και κατεσχισμενους και δεδεμενους,
5 And very old shoes, which for a show of age were clouted with patches, and old garments upon them: the leaves also, which they carried for provisions by the way, were hard, and broken into pieces:	5 και εις τους ποδας αυτων υποδηματα παλαια και εμβαλωμενα, και ιματια παλαια εφ' εαυτων? και ολος ο αρτος του εφοδιασμου αυτων ητο ξηρος και κατατεθρυμμενος.
6 And they went to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him, and to all Israel with him: We are come from a far country, desiring to make peace with you. And the children of Israel answered them, and said:	6 Και ηλθον προς τον Ιησουν εις το στρατοπεδον εις Γαλγαλα, και ειπον προς αυτον και προς τους ανδρας του Ισραηλ, Απο γης μακρας ηλθομεν? τωρα λοιπον καμετε συνθηκην προς ημας.
7 Perhaps you dwell in the land which falls to our lot; if so, we can make no league with you.	7 Και ειπον οι ανδρες του Ισραηλ προς τους Ευαιους τουτους, Σεις κατοικειτε ισως εν τω μεσω ημων, και πως θελομεν καμει συνθηκην προς εσας;
8 But they said to Josue: We are thy servants. Josue said to them: Who are you? and whence came you?	8 Οι δε ειπον προς τον Ιησουν, Δουλοι σου ειμεθα. Ειπε δε προς αυτους ο Ιησους, Ποιοι εισθε; και ποθεν ερχεσθε;
9 They answered: From a very far country thy servants are come in the name of the Lord thy God. For we have heard the fame of his power, all the things that he did in Egypt.	9 Και ειπον προς αυτον, Απο πολυ μακρας γης ηλθον οι δουλοι σου δια το ονομα Κυριου του Θεου σου? διοτι ηκουσαμεν την φημην αυτου και παντα οσα εκαμεν εν Αιγυπτω,
10 And to the two kings of the Amorrhites that were beyond the Jordan, Sehon king of Hesebon, and Og king of Basan, that was in Astaroth:	10 και παντα οσα εκαμεν εις τους δυο βασιλεις των Αμορραιων, τους περαν του Ιορδανου, εις τον Σηων βασιλεα της Εσεβων, και εις τον Ωγ βασιλεα της Βασαν, τον εν Ασταρωθ?
11 And our ancients, and all the inhabitants of our country said to us: Take with you victuals for a long way, and go meet them, and say: We are your servants, make ye a league with us.	11 δια τουτο ειπον προς ημας οι πρεσβυτεροι ημων και παντες οι κατοικοι της γης ημων, λεγοντες, Λαβετε εις εαυτους εφοδια δια την οδον, και υπαγετε εις συναντησιν αυτων και ειπατε προς αυτους, δουλοι σας ειμεθα? τωρα λοιπον καμετε συνθηκην προς ημας?
12 Behold, these leaves we took hot, when we set out from our houses to come to you, now they are become dry, and broken in pieces, by being exceeding old.	12 τον αρτον ημων τουτον ζεστον ελαβομεν εκ των οικιων ημων, καθ' ην ημεραν εξηλθομεν δια να ελθωμεν προς εσας? και τωρα, ιδου, ειναι ξηρος και κατατεθρυμμενος?
13 These bottles of wine when we filled them were new, now they are rent and burst. These garments we have on, and the shoes we have on our feet, by reason of the very long journey are worn out, and almost consumed.	13 και ουτοι οι ασκοι του οινου, τους οποιους εγεμισαμεν νεους, και ιδου, ειναι κατεσχισμενοι? και τα ιματια ημων ταυτα και τα υποδηματα ημων επαλαιωθησαν δια την πολυ μακραν οδον.
14 They took therefore of their victuals, and consulted not the mouth of the Lord.	14 Και εδεχθησαν τους ανδρας εξ αιτιας των εφοδιων αυτων, και δεν ηρωτησαν τον Κυριον.
15 And Josue made peace with them, and entering into a league promised that they should not be slain: the princes also of the multitude swore to them.	15 Και εκαμεν ο Ιησους ειρηνην προς αυτους και εκαμε συνθηκην προς αυτους, να φυλαξη την ζωην αυτων? και οι αρχοντες της συναγωγης ωμοσαν προς αυτους.
16 Now three days after the league was made, they heard that they dwelt nigh, and they should be among them.	16 Και μετα τρεις ημερας, αφου εκαμον συνθηκην προς αυτους, ηκουσαν οτι ησαν γειτονες αυτων και κατωκουν μεταξυ αυτων.
17 And the children of Israel removed the camp, and came into their cities on the third day, the names of which are Gabaon, and Caphira, and Beroth, and Cariathiarim.	17 Και σηκωθεντες οι υιοι Ισραηλ υπηγον εις τας πολεις αυτων την τριτην ημεραν? αι δε πολεις αυτων ησαν Γαβαων και Χεφειρα και Βηρωθ και Κιριαθ-ιαρειμ.
18 And they slew them not, because the princes of the multitude had sworn in the name of the Lord the God of Israel. Then all the common people murmured against the princes.	18 Και δεν επαταξαν αυτους οι υιοι Ισραηλ, διοτι οι αρχοντες της συναγωγης ειχον ομοσει προς αυτους τον Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ. Και εγογγυζε πασα η συναγωγη κατα των αρχοντων.
19 And they answered them: We have sworn to them in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, and therefore we may not touch them.	19 Παντες ομως οι αρχοντες ειπον προς πασαν την συναγωγην, Ημεις ωμοσαμεν προς αυτους τον Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ? τωρα λοιπον δεν δυναμεθα να εγγισωμεν αυτους?
20 But this we mill do to them: Let their lives be saved, lest the wrath of the Lord be stirred up against us, if we should be forsworn.	20 τουτο θελομεν καμει εις αυτους? θελομεν φυλαξει την ζωην αυτων, δια να μη ηναι οργη Θεου εφ' ημας, δια τον ορκον τον οποιον ωμοσαμεν προς αυτους.
21 But so let them live, as to serve the whole multitude in hewing wood, and bringing in water. As they were speaking these things,	21 Και οι αρχοντες ειπον προς αυτους, Ας ζωσι? πλην ας ηναι ξυλοκοποι και υδροφοροι εις πασαν συναγωγην? καθως οι αρχοντες υπεσχεθησαν προς αυτους.
22 Josue called the Gabaonites and said to them: Why would you impose upon us, saying: We dwell far off from you, whereas you are in the midst of us?	22 Και συνεκαλεσεν αυτους ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτους, λεγων, Δια τι ηπατησατε ημας λεγοντες, πολυ μακραν ειμεθα απο σας, ενω σεις κατοικειτε μεταξυ ημων;
23 Therefore you shall be under a curse, and your race shall always be hewers of wood, and carriers of water unto the house of my God.	23 τωρα λοιπον επικαταρατοι εισθε, και δεν θελει λειψει απο σας δουλος και ξυλοκοπος και υδροφορος εις τον οικον του Θεου μου.
24 They answered: It was told us thy servants, that the Lord thy God had promised his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants thereof. Therefore we feared exceedingly and provided for our lives. compelled by the dread we had of you and we took this counsel.	24 Και απεκριθησαν προς τον Ιησουν λεγοντες, Επειδη οι δουλοι σου εμαθον μετα πληροφοριας οσα Κυριος ο Θεος σου διεταξεν εις τον δουλον αυτου Μωυσην, να δωση εις εσας πασαν την γην και να εξολοθρευση εμπροσθεν σας παντας τους κατοικους της γης, δια τουτο εφοβηθημεν απο σας σφοδρα δια την ζωην ημων και εκαμομεν το πραγμα τουτο?
25 And now we are in thy hand: deal with us as it seemeth good and right unto thee.	25 και τωρα, ιδου, εις τας χειρας σου ειμεθα? ο, τι σοι φανη καλον και αρεστον να καμης εις ημας, καμε.
26 So Josue did as he had said, and delivered them from the hand of the children of Israel, that they should not be slain.	26 Και εκαμεν ουτως εις αυτους, και ηλευθερωσεν αυτους εκ της χειρος των υιων Ισραηλ, και δεν εφονευσαν αυτους.
27 And he gave orders in that day that they should be in the service of all the people, and of the altar of the Lord, hewing wood and carrying water, until this present time, in the place which the Lord hath chosen.	27 Και την ημεραν εκεινην εκαμεν αυτους ο Ιησους ξυλοκοπους και υδροφορους μεχρι τουδε, εις την συναγωγην και εις το θυσιαστηριον του Κυριου, εις τον τοπον οντινα εκλεξη.
