Bíblia King James Atualizada
Eles explicaram a Josué: “É que se anunciou com certeza aos teus servos a ordem dada por Yahwehteu Deus a Moisés, seu servo, de vos entregar toda esta terra e de exterminar diante de vós todos os seus habitantes. Por isso com a vossa aproximação fomos tomados de um pavor desesperador pelas nossas vidas. Eis por que agimos assim.

João Ferreira de Almeida Atualizada
Respondendo a Josué, disseram: Porquanto foi anunciado aos teus servos que o Senhor teu Deus ordenou a Moisés, seu servo, que vos desse toda esta terra, e destruísse todos os seus moradores diante de vós, temíamos muito pelas nossas vidas por causa de vós, e fizemos isso.   

King James Bible
And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
