< Joshua 7 >

1 But the sons of Israel committed a trespass in what was set apart. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took from what was set apart, and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the sons of Israel.
Otiia i taka nga tama a Iharaira ki te kino i te mea kua oti te kanga: he tangohanga na Akana tama a Karami, tama a Taperi, tama a Tera, o te iwi o Hura, i tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti te kanga; a mura iho te riri o Ihowa ki nga tama a Iharaira.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
Na ka tonoa atu e Hohua etahi tangata i Heriko ki Hai, ki te taha o Peteawene, i te taha ki te rawhiti o Peteere, ka korero hoki ki a ratou, ka mea, Haere ki runga ki te titiro i te whenua. Na ka haere aua tangata, ka titiro i Hai.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai. Do not make all the people to toil there, for they are but few.
A ka hoki mai ratou ki a Hohua, ka mea ki a ia, Kaua e haere katoa te iwi ki runga; engari kia rua, kia toru ranei mano o nga tangata e haere ki runga ki te patu i Hai; kaua hei whakangenge kau atu i te iwi ki reira; he tokoouou hoki ratou.
4 So there went up there of the people about three thousand men. And they fled before the men of Ai.
Heoi haere ana ki reira etahi o te iwi, me te mea e toru mano: na rere ana ratou i te aroaro o nga tangata o Hai.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men. And they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and smote them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
A tukitukia iho o ratou e nga tangata o Hai me te mea e toru tekau ma ono tangata; i whaia hoki ratou i mua i te kuwaha a tae noa ki Heparimi, na patupatua ana ratou i te heketanga: a ngohe kau te ngakau o te iwi, koia ano kei te wai.
6 And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they put dust upon their heads.
Na ka haehae a Hohua i ona kakahu, ka tapapa ki te whenua, ki mua o te aaka a Ihowa a ahiahi noa, a ia me nga kaumatua o Iharaira; a opehia ana e ratou he puehu ki o ratou upoko.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, O lord Jehovah, why have thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? Would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!
Na ka mea a Hohua, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, na te aha rawa ra koe i anga ai ki te whakawhiti mai i tenei iwi i Horano, i hoatu ai matou ki te ringa o nga Amori, kia huna ai matou? Aue, me i aro matou ki te noho atu i tera taha o Horano!
8 Oh, Lord, what shall I say after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!
E te Ariki, me pehea ra he kupu maku, kua parea atu nei e Iharaira o ratou tuara i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri?
9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will encompass us around, and cut off our name from the earth, and what will thou do for thy great name?
Na te mea ka rongo nga Kanaani me nga tangata katoa o te whenua, na ka karapotia matou, ka huna hoki o matou ingoa i te whenua: a ka pehea koe ki tou ingoa nui?
10 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Get thee up. Why are thou thus fallen upon thy face?
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Whakatika; he aha tau e takoto tapapa na?
11 Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Yes, they have even taken from what was set apart, and have also stolen, and also dissembled. And they have even put it among their own stuff.
Kua hara a Iharaira; ae, kua takahi ratou i taku kawenata i whakarite ai ahau ki a ratou: ae, kua tangohia nei e ratou tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti te kanga, me te tahae, me te teka ano ratou, a whaowhina ana e ratou ki roto ki a ratou mea.
12 Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies because they have become accursed. I will not be with you any more unless ye destroy what was set apart from among you.
Na reira nga tama a Iharaira te ahei ai te tu i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, na hurihia ana o ratou tuara i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, kua kanga hoki ratou: e kore ahau e haere i a koutou a muri atu, ki te kahore koutou e whakangaro i te mea k anga i roto i a koutou.
13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow. For thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, There is what has been set apart in the midst of thee, O Israel. Thou cannot stand before thine enemies until ye take away the devoted thing from among you.
Whakatika, whakatapua te iwi, mea atu, whakatapu i a koutou mo apopo: ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Kei roto i a koe, e Iharaira, te mea kanga: e kore koe e kaha ki te tu ki te aroaro o ou hoariri, kia tangohia atu ra ano e koutou te mea kanga i roto i a koutou.
14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought near by your tribes, and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah takes shall come near by families, and the family which Jehovah shall take shall come near by households, and the household which Jehovah shall take shall come near man by man.
Na i te ata me whakatata mai koutou, ara o koutou iwi; a tera ko te iwi e tango ai a Ihowa me whakatata mai a hapu; a ko te hapu e tango ai a Ihowa me whakatata a whare mai; a ko te whare e tango ai a Ihowa me whakatata mai ia tangata, ia tangat a.
15 And it shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he has wrought folly in Israel.
A, ko te tangata e hopukia kei a ia te mea kanga, me tahu ki te ahi, a ia me ana mea katoa: mona i takahi i te kawenata a Ihowa, i mahi poauau hoki i roto i a Iharaira.
16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
Na ka maranga wawe a Hohua i te ata, a whakatataia mai ana e ia a Iharaira, ara ona iwi; na ka mau ko te iwi o Hura.
17 And he brought near the family of Judah, and he took the family of the Zerahites. And he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
Na ka arahina mai e ia te hapu o Hura: a ka mau te hapu o nga Terahi: na ka arahina mai e ia te hapu o nga Terahi, tenei tangata, tenei tangata; a ka mau ko Taperi:
18 And he brought near his household man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
Na ka arahi ia i tona whare, i tenei tangata, i tenei tangata; a ka mau ko Akana tama a Karami, tama a Taperi, tama a Tera, no te iwi o Hura.
19 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and make confession to him, and tell me now what thou have done. Hide it not from me.
Katahi a Hohua ka mea ki a Akana, E taku tama, whakakororiatia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, a whakina ki a ia, whakaaturia mai hoki ki ahau, i aha koe; kaua e huna i ahau.
20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
Na ka whakautua e Akana ki a Hohua, ka mea, He pono i hara ahau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira, a tenei taku i mea ai:
21 When I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them. And, behold, they are hid in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
I taku kitenga i tetahi koroka whakapaipai no Papurona i roto i nga taonga, i nga hekere hiriwa e rua rau, i tetahi poro koura, e rima tekau hekere tona taimaha, na ka minamina ahau, ka tango; a tera kei te whenua i waenganui o toku teneti e hun a ana, me te hiriwa hoki kei raro iho.
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. And, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
Na ka tonoa atu e Hohua etahi tangata, a ko to ratou rerenga atu ki te teneti; na ko taua mea e huna ana i roto i tona teneti, me te hiriwa i raro iho.
23 And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they laid them down before Jehovah.
Na tangohia ana e ratou aua mea i waenganui o te teneti, a mauria ana ki a Hohua ratou ko nga tama katoa a Iharaira, a whakatakotoria ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.
Na ka tango a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa i a Akana tama a Tera, i te hiriwa, i te koroka, i te poro koura, i ana tama, i ana tamahine, i ana kau, i ana kaihe, i ana hipi, i tona teneti, i nga mea katoa hoki i a ia, a kawea ana ratou ki t e raorao o Akoro.
25 And Joshua said, Why have thou troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
Na ka mea a Hohua, Na te aha koe i whakararu ai i a tatou? ka whakararu hoki a Ihowa i a koe i tenei ra. Na akina ana ia e Iharaira katoa ki te kamaka, a tahuna ana ki te ahi i muri iho i ta ratou akinga i a ratou ki te kamaka.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day, and Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to this day.
A whakapurangatia ana e ratou etahi kohatu ki runga i a ia, he nui te ra. Katahi ka tahuri a Ihowa i te muranga o tona riri. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi, Ko te raorao o Akoro a mohoa noa nei.
