LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ως δ' ηκουσαν οι βασιλεις των αμορραιων οι εν τω περαν του ιορδανου οι εν τη ορεινη και οι εν τη πεδινη και οι εν παση τη παραλια της θαλασσης της μεγαλης και οι προς τω αντιλιβανω και οι χετταιοι και οι χαναναιοι και οι φερεζαιοι και οι ευαιοι και οι αμορραιοι και οι γεργεσαιοι και οι ιεβουσαιοι	1 And when these things were heard, all the kings across the Jordan, who lived among the mountains and plains, along the coastline and shores of the great sea, also those who were living near Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
2 συνηλθοσαν επι το αυτο εκπολεμησαι ιησουν και ισραηλ αμα παντες [2α] τοτε ωκοδομησεν ιησους θυσιαστηριον κυριω τω θεω ισραηλ εν ορει γαιβαλ [2β] καθοτι ενετειλατο μωυσης ο θεραπων κυριου τοις υιοις ισραηλ καθα γεγραπται εν τω νομω μωυση θυσιαστηριον λιθων ολοκληρων εφ' ους ουκ επεβληθη σιδηρος και ανεβιβασεν εκει ολοκαυτωματα κυριω και θυσιαν σωτηριου [2χ] και εγραψεν ιησους επι των λιθων το δευτερονομιον νομον μωυση ον εγραψεν ενωπιον υιων ισραηλ [2δ] και πας ισραηλ και οι πρεσβυτεροι αυτων και οι δικασται και οι γραμματεις αυτων παρεπορευοντο ενθεν και ενθεν της κιβωτου απεναντι και οι ιερεις και οι λευιται ηραν την κιβωτον της διαθηκης κυριου και ο προσηλυτος και ο αυτοχθων οι ησαν ημισυ πλησιον ορους γαριζιν και οι ησαν ημισυ πλησιον ορους γαιβαλ καθοτι ενετειλατο μωυσης ο θεραπων κυριου ευλογησαι τον λαον εν πρωτοις [2ε] και μετα ταυτα ουτως ανεγνω ιησους παντα τα ρηματα του νομου τουτου τας ευλογιας και τας καταρας κατα παντα τα γεγραμμενα εν τω νομω μωυση [2φ] ουκ ην ρημα απο παντων ων ενετειλατο μωυσης τω ιησοι ο ουκ ανεγνω ιησους εις τα ωτα πασης εκκλησιας υιων ισραηλ τοις ανδρασιν και ταις γυναιξιν και τοις παιδιοις και τοις προσηλυτοις τοις προσπορευομενοις τω ισραηλ	2 gathered themselves together, so that they might fight against Joshua and Israel, with one mind and with the same resolve.
3 και οι κατοικουντες γαβαων ηκουσαν παντα οσα εποιησεν κυριος τη ιεριχω και τη γαι	3 But those who were living in Gibeon, hearing all that Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
4 και εποιησαν και γε αυτοι μετα πανουργιας και ελθοντες επεσιτισαντο και ητοιμασαντο και λαβοντες σακκους παλαιους επι των ονων αυτων και ασκους οινου παλαιους και κατερρωγοτας αποδεδεμενους	4 planning cleverly, took for themselves provisions, placing old sacks upon their donkeys, and wineskins that had torn and been sewed up,
5 και τα κοιλα των υποδηματων αυτων και τα σανδαλια αυτων παλαια και καταπεπελματωμενα εν τοις ποσιν αυτων και τα ιματια αυτων πεπαλαιωμενα επανω αυτων και ο αρτος αυτων του επισιτισμου ξηρος και ευρωτιων και βεβρωμενος	5 and having very old shoes, which had been sewn with patches indicating their age, and being clothed in old garments, having also loaves, which they carried as food for the journey, which were hard and broken into pieces.
6 και ηλθοσαν προς ιησουν εις την παρεμβολην ισραηλ εις γαλγαλα και ειπαν προς ιησουν και ισραηλ εκ γης μακροθεν ηκαμεν και νυν διαθεσθε ημιν διαθηκην	6 And they traveled to Joshua, who at that time was staying in the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him, and to all of Israel with him, “We have come from a far away land, desiring to make peace with you.” And the sons of Israel responded to them, and said,
7 και ειπαν οι υιοι ισραηλ προς τον χορραιον ορα μη εν εμοι κατοικεις και πως σοι διαθωμαι διαθηκην	7 “Perhaps instead, you live in the land which ought to be ours by lot, and we would be unable to form a pact with you.”
8 και ειπαν προς ιησουν οικεται σου εσμεν και ειπεν προς αυτους ιησους ποθεν εστε και ποθεν παραγεγονατε	8 But they said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” And Joshua said to them: “But who are you? And where are you from?”
9 και ειπαν εκ γης μακροθεν σφοδρα ηκασιν οι παιδες σου εν ονοματι κυριου του θεου σου ακηκοαμεν γαρ το ονομα αυτου και οσα εποιησεν εν αιγυπτω	9 They responded: “Your servants have arrived, from a very far away land, in the name of the Lord, your God. For we have heard about the fame of his power, all the things that he has done in Egypt,
10 και οσα εποιησεν τοις βασιλευσιν των αμορραιων οι ησαν περαν του ιορδανου τω σηων βασιλει εσεβων και τω ωγ βασιλει της βασαν ος κατωκει εν ασταρωθ και εν εδραιν	10 and to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan: Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
11 και ακουσαντες ειπαν προς ημας οι πρεσβυτεροι ημων και παντες οι κατοικουντες την γην ημων λεγοντες λαβετε εαυτοις επισιτισμον εις την οδον και πορευθητε εις συναντησιν αυτων και ερειτε προς αυτους οικεται σου εσμεν και νυν διαθεσθε ημιν διαθηκην	11 And our elders, and all the inhabitants of our land, have said to us: ‘Take in hand provisions for the very long journey, and meet with them, and say: We are your servants; form a pact with us.’
12 ουτοι οι αρτοι θερμους εφωδιασθημεν αυτους εν τη ημερα η εξηλθομεν παραγενεσθαι προς υμας νυν δε εξηρανθησαν και γεγονασιν βεβρωμενοι	12 Lo, the loaves were taken up warm when we departed from our houses, so that we might come to you. Now they have become dry and broken, due to age.
13 και ουτοι οι ασκοι του οινου ους επλησαμεν καινους και ουτοι ερρωγασιν και τα ιματια ημων και τα υποδηματα ημων πεπαλαιωται απο της πολλης οδου σφοδρα	13 These wineskins were new when we filled them, now they are torn and broken. The garments we are wearing, and the shoes we have on our feet, due to the great length of the distance, have become worn and are nearly consumed.”
14 και ελαβον οι αρχοντες του επισιτισμου αυτων και κυριον ουκ επηρωτησαν	14 And so they accepted this, because of their provisions, and they did not consult the mouth of the Lord.
15 και εποιησεν ιησους προς αυτους ειρηνην και διεθετο προς αυτους διαθηκην του διασωσαι αυτους και ωμοσαν αυτοις οι αρχοντες της συναγωγης	15 And Joshua made peace with them, and entering into a pact, he promised that they would not be put to death. The leaders of the multitude also swore to them.
16 και εγενετο μετα τρεις ημερας μετα το διαθεσθαι προς αυτους διαθηκην ηκουσαν οτι εγγυθεν αυτων εισιν και οτι εν αυτοις κατοικουσιν	16 Then, three days after the pact was formed, they heard that they lived in the vicinity, and that they would soon be among them.
17 και απηραν οι υιοι ισραηλ και ηλθον εις τας πολεις αυτων αι δε πολεις αυτων γαβαων και κεφιρα και βηρωθ και πολις ιαριν	17 And so the sons of Israel moved the camp, and they arrived at their cities on the third day, those which are called: Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
18 και ουκ εμαχεσαντο αυτοις οι υιοι ισραηλ οτι ωμοσαν αυτοις παντες οι αρχοντες κυριον τον θεον ισραηλ και διεγογγυσαν πασα η συναγωγη επι τοις αρχουσιν	18 And they did not strike them, because the leaders of the multitude had sworn to them in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. And so all of the common people murmured against the leaders.
19 και ειπαν οι αρχοντες παση τη συναγωγη ημεις ωμοσαμεν αυτοις κυριον τον θεον ισραηλ και νυν ου δυνησομεθα αψασθαι αυτων	19 And they responded to them: “We have sworn to them in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, and for that reason, we are not able to touch them.
20 τουτο ποιησομεν ζωγρησαι αυτους και περιποιησομεθα αυτους και ουκ εσται καθ' ημων οργη δια τον ορκον ον ωμοσαμεν αυτοις	20 But we shall do this to them: Certainly, let them be preserved so that they may live, lest the wrath of the Lord be stirred up against us, since we would have sworn falsely.
21 ζησονται και εσονται ξυλοκοποι και υδροφοροι παση τη συναγωγη καθαπερ ειπαν αυτοις οι αρχοντες	21 But though they live, let them serve the entire multitude by cutting wood and carrying water.” And while they were discussing these things,
22 και συνεκαλεσεν αυτους ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις δια τι παρελογισασθε με λεγοντες μακραν απο σου εσμεν σφοδρα υμεις δε εγχωριοι εστε των κατοικουντων εν ημιν	22 Joshua called the Gibeonites, and he said to them: “Why would you be willing to deceive us by fraud, saying, ‘We live very far away from you,’ when you are in our midst?
23 και νυν επικαταρατοι εστε ου μη εκλιπη εξ υμων δουλος ουδε ξυλοκοπος εμοι και τω θεω μου	23 Therefore, you shall be under a curse, and your stock shall not cease to be cutters of wood and carriers of water, into the house of my God.”
24 και απεκριθησαν τω ιησοι λεγοντες ανηγγελη ημιν οσα συνεταξεν κυριος ο θεος σου μωυση τω παιδι αυτου δουναι υμιν την γην ταυτην και εξολεθρευσαι ημας και παντας τους κατοικουντας επ' αυτης απο προσωπου υμων και εφοβηθημεν σφοδρα περι των ψυχων ημων απο προσωπου υμων και εποιησαμεν το πραγμα τουτο	24 And they responded: “It was reported to us, your servants, that the Lord your God had promised his servant Moses that he would give you the entire land, and that he would destroy all its inhabitants. Therefore, we were very afraid, and we made a provision for our lives, compelled by the dread of you, and we undertook this counsel.
25 και νυν ιδου ημεις υποχειριοι υμιν ως αρεσκει υμιν και ως δοκει υμιν ποιησατε ημιν	25 And now we are in your hand. Act toward us as it seems good and right to you.”
26 και εποιησαν αυτοις ουτως και εξειλατο αυτους ιησους εν τη ημερα εκεινη εκ χειρων υιων ισραηλ και ουκ ανειλον αυτους	26 Therefore, Joshua did just as he had said, and he freed them from the hand of the sons of Israel, so that they would not be killed.
27 και κατεστησεν αυτους ιησους εν τη ημερα εκεινη ξυλοκοπους και υδροφορους παση τη συναγωγη και τω θυσιαστηριω του θεου δια τουτο εγενοντο οι κατοικουντες γαβαων ξυλοκοποι και υδροφοροι του θυσιαστηριου του θεου εως της σημερον ημερας και εις τον τοπον ον εαν εκλεξηται κυριος	27 And he decreed on that day, that they would be in the ministry of all the people and of the altar of the Lord, cutting wood and carrying water, even until this present time, in the place which the Lord had chosen.
