Deception by the Gibeonites
1Ketika terdengar oleh raja-raja di sebelah barat sungai Yordan, di Pegunungan, di Daerah Bukit dan sepanjang tepi pantai Laut Besar sampai ke seberang gunung Libanon, yakni raja-raja orang Het, orang Amori, orang Kanaan, orang Feris, orang Hewi dan orang Yebus, 2bergabunglah mereka dengan seia sekata untuk memerangi Yosua dan orang Israel.
1Now it came about when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country, 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 about it, 2that they met together with one purpose, to fight with Joshua and with Israel.
3Tetapi ketika terdengar kepada penduduk negeri Gibeon apa yang dilakukan Yosua terhadap Yerikho dan Ai, 4maka merekapun bertindak dengan memakai akal: mereka pergi menyediakan bekal, mengambil karung yang buruk-buruk untuk dimuatkan ke atas keledai mereka dan kirbat anggur yang buruk-buruk, yang robek dan dijahit kembali, 5dan kasut yang buruk-buruk dan ditambal untuk dikenakan pada kaki mereka dan pakaian yang buruk-buruk untuk dikenakan oleh mereka, sedang segala roti bekal mereka telah kering, tinggal remah-remah belaka. 6Demikianlah mereka pergi kepada Yosua, ke tempat perkemahan di Gilgal. Berkatalah mereka kepadanya dan kepada orang-orang Israel itu: "Kami ini datang dari negeri jauh; maka sekarang ikatlah perjanjian dengan kami." 7Tetapi berkatalah orang-orang Israel kepada orang-orang Hewi itu: "Barangkali kamu ini diam di tengah-tengah kami, bagaimana mungkin kami mengikat perjanjian dengan kamu?" 8Lalu kata mereka kepada Yosua: "Kami ini hamba-hambamu." Tanya Yosua: "Siapakah kamu ini dan dari manakah kamu datang ?" 9Jawab mereka kepadanya: "Dari negeri yang sangat jauh hamba-hambamu ini datang karena nama TUHAN, Allahmu, sebab kami telah mendengar kabar tentang Dia, yakni segala yang dilakukan-Nya di Mesir, 10dan segala yang dilakukan-Nya terhadap kedua raja orang Amori itu di seberang sungai Yordan, Sihon, raja Hesybon, dan Og, raja Basan, yang diam di Asytarot. 11Sebab itu para tua-tua kami dan seluruh penduduk negeri kami berkata kepada kami, demikian: Bawalah bekal untuk di jalan dan pergilah menemui mereka dan berkatalah kepada mereka: Kami ini hamba-hambamu, maka sekarang ikatlah perjanjian dengan kami. 12Inilah roti kami: masih panas ketika kami bawa sebagai bekal dari rumah pada hari kami berangkat berjalan mendapatkan kamu, tetapi sekarang, lihatlah, telah kering dan tinggal remah-remah belaka. 13Inilah kirbat-kirbat anggur, yang masih baru ketika kami mengisinya, tetapi lihatlah, telah robek; dan inilah pakaian dan kasut kami, semuanya telah buruk-buruk karena perjalanan yang sangat jauh itu." 14Lalu orang-orang Israel mengambil bekal orang-orang itu, tetapi tidak meminta keputusan TUHAN. 15Maka Yosua mengadakan persahabatan dengan mereka dan mengikat perjanjian dengan mereka, bahwa ia akan membiarkan mereka hidup; dan para pemimpin umat itu bersumpah kepada mereka.
3The inhabitants of Gibeon also heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai, 4but they on their part acted craftily and went and took provisions for a journey, and took worn-out sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins that were worn out, split open, and patched, 5and 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. 6And they went to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country; now then, make a covenant with us.” 7But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you are living within our land; how then are we to make a covenant with you?” 8So they said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Then Joshua said to them, “Who are you and where do you come from?” 9They said to him, “Your servants have come from a very distant country because of the fame of the LORD your God; for we have heard the report about Him and all that He did in Egypt, 10and 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 in Ashtaroth. 11“So 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.”’ 12“This bread of ours was hot when we took it for our provisions from our houses on the day that we left to come to you; but now behold, it is dry and has become crumbled. 13“And these wineskins which we filled were new, and behold, they are split open; and these clothes of ours and our sandals are worn out from the very long journey.” 14So the men of Israel took some of their provisions, and did not ask for the counsel of the LORD. 15And Joshua 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.
16Tetapi setelah lewat tiga hari, sesudah orang Israel mengikat perjanjian dengan orang-orang itu, terdengarlah oleh mereka, bahwa orang-orang itu tinggal dekat mereka, bahkan diam di tengah-tengah mereka. 17Sebab orang Israel berangkat pergi dan pada hari ketiga sampai ke kota-kota orang-orang itu; adapun kota-kota itu ialah Gibeon, Kefira, Beerot dan Kiryat-Yearim. 18Orang Israel tidak menewaskan, sebab para pemimpin umat telah bersumpah kepada mereka demi TUHAN, Allah Israel. Lalu bersungut-sungutlah segenap umat kepada para pemimpin. 19Berkatalah pemimpin-pemimpin itu kepada seluruh umat: "Kami telah bersumpah kepada mereka demi TUHAN, Allah Israel; oleh sebab itu kita tidak dapat mengusik mereka. 20Beginilah akan kita perlakukan mereka: membiarkan mereka hidup, supaya kita jangan tertimpa murka karena sumpah yang telah kita ikrarkan itu kepada mereka." 21Lagi kata para pemimpin kepada mereka: "Biarlah mereka hidup." Maka merekapun dijadikan tukang belah kayu dan tukang timba air untuk segenap umat, seperti yang ditetapkan oleh para pemimpin mengenai mereka.
16However, it 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. 17Then the sons of Israel set out and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim. 18But the sons of Israel did not attack 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. 19But 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. 20“This we will do to them, even let them live, so that wrath will not be on us because of the oath which we swore to them.” 21So the leaders said to them, “Let them live.” And they became gatherers of firewood and labor to draw water for the whole congregation, just as the leaders had spoken to them.
22Lalu Yosua memanggil mereka dan berkata kepada mereka, demikian: "Mengapa kamu menipu kami dengan berkata: Kami ini tinggal sangat jauh dari pada kamu, padahal kamu diam di tengah-tengah kami? 23Oleh sebab itu, terkutuklah kamu dan tak putus-putusnya kamu menjadi hamba, tukang belah kayu dan tukang timba air untuk rumah Allahku." 24Jawab mereka kepada Yosua, katanya: "Sebab telah dikabarkan dengan sungguh-sungguh kepada hamba-hambamu ini, bahwa TUHAN, Allahmu, memerintahkan kepada Musa hamba-Nya, memberikan seluruh negeri itu kepadamu dan memunahkan seluruh penduduk negeri itu dari depan kamu, maka sangatlah kami takut kehilangan nyawa, menghadapi kamu; itulah sebabnya kami melakukan yang demikian. 25Maka sekarang, kami ini dalam tanganmu; perlakukanlah kami seperti yang kaupandang baik dan benar untuk dilakukan kepada kami." 26Demikianlah dilakukannya kepada mereka. Dilepaskannyalah mereka dari tangan orang-orang Israel, sehingga mereka tidak dibunuh. 27Dan pada waktu itu Yosua menjadikan mereka tukang belah kayu dan tukang timba air untuk umat itu dan untuk mezbah TUHAN, sampai sekarang, di tempat yang akan dipilih-Nya.
22Then 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? 23“Now therefore, you are cursed, and you will never cease to be slaves, both gatherers of firewood and labor to draw water for the house of my God.” 24So they answered Joshua and said, “Since your servants were fully informed 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, we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing. 25“And now behold, we are in your hands; do to us as it seems good and right in your sight to do.” 26This he did to them, and saved them from the hands of the sons of Israel, and they did not kill them. 27But on that day Joshua made them gatherers of firewood and labor to draw water for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD, to this day, in the place which He would choose.
