< Joshua 2 >

1 And Josue the son of Nun sent from Setim two men, to spy secretly: and said to them: Go, and view the land and the city of Jericho. They went and entered into the house of a woman that was a harlot named Rahab, and lodged with her.
HOOUNA aku la o Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna i na kanaka elua, mai Sitima aku e kiu malu, i ae la, Ou haele e makai i ka aina ia Ieriko. Hele aku laua a komo iloko o ka hale o kekahi wahine hookamakama, o Rahaba kona inoa, a moe iho la laua malaila.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, and was said: Behold there are men come in hither, by night, of the children of Israel, to spy the land.
Ua haiia'ku la i ke alii o Ieriko, i ka i ana aku, Aia hoi, ua hele mai nei i ka po, kekahi mau kanaka, no na mamo a Iseraela e makai i ka aina.
3 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: Bring forth the men that came to thee, and are entered into thy house: for they are spies, and are come to view all the land.
Hoouna aku la ke alii o Ieriko, i aku la ia Rahaba, E lawe mai oe iwaho i ua mau kanaka la i hele mai iou la, a i komo iloko o kou hale; no ka mea, ua hele mai laua e makai i ka aina a pau.
4 And the woman taking the men, hid them, and said: I confess they came to me, but I knew not whence they were:
Lawe ae la ka wahine i ua mau kanaka la elua, huna iho la ia laua a olelo aku la penei, Hele mai la kekahi mau kanaka io'u nei, aole hoi au i ike i kahi a laua i hele mai ai:
5 And at the time of shutting the gate in the dark, they also went out together. I know not whither they are gone: pursue after them quickly, and you will overtake them.
A i ke pani ana o ka puka i ka poeleele, hele aku la ua mau kanaka la iwaho. Aole au i ike i ko laua wahi i hele ai. E hahai koke aku ia laua, a e loaa no.
6 But she made the men go up to the top of her house, and covered them with the stalks of flax, which was there.
Aka, ua lawe ae la ia ia laua maluna o ka hale, a huna iho la ia laua malalo iho o kahi olona ana i hoonohonoho ai, ma ia wahi maluna.
7 Now they that were sent, pursued after them, by the way that leadeth to the fords of the Jordan: and as soon as they were gone out, the gate was presently shut.
Hahai aku la na kanaka ia laua ma ke ala e hiki aku ai i Ioredane, a hiki i ke ahua. A puka aku la ka poe hahai iwaho, alaila, paniia iho la ka puka.
8 The men that were hidden were not yet asleep, when behold the woman went up to them, and said:
Mamua o ko laua moe ana, pii aku la ua wahine nei io laua la maluna o ka hale;
9 I know that the Lord hath given this land to you: for the dread of you is fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have lost all strength.
I aku la ia i ua mau kanaka la, Ua ike no wau, ua haawi mai o Iehova i ka aina no oukou, a ua kau mai ka weliweli ia oukou maluna o makou, a ua maule ka poe a pau e noho nei ma keia aina ia oukou.
10 We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea at your going in, when you came out of Egypt: and what things you did to the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan: Sehon and Og whom you slew.
No ka mea, ua lohe makou i ko Iehova hoomaloo ana i ka wai o ke Kaiula imua o oukou, i ka wa i puka mai ai oukou mailoko mai o Aigupita; a me ka mea a oukou i hana aku ai i na'lii elua o ka Amora ma kela aoao o Ioredane, ia Sihona, laua o Oga, i na mea a oukou i anai loa ai.
11 And hearing these things we were affrighted, and our heart fainted away, neither did there remain any spirit in us at your coming in: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath.
A lohe makou, maule iho la ko makou mau naau, aole i koe ke aho iloko o kekahi kanaka imua o oukou; no ka mea, o Iehova, ko oukou Akua, oia ke Akua maluna, ma ka lani, a malalo hoi ma ka honua.
12 Now therefore swear ye to me by the Lord, that as I have shewn mercy to you, so you also will shew mercy to my father’s house: and give me a true token,
Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia olua, e hoohiki olua ia Iehova no'u, no ka'u hana lokomaikai ana'ku ia olua, e hana lokomaikai mai no hoi olua ia'u, a me ka poe o ko'u makuakane, a e haawi mai hoi olua i hoailona oiaio;
13 That you will save my father and mother, my brethren and sisters, and all things that are theirs, and deliver our souls from death.
A e hoola oukou i ko'u makuakane a me ko'u makuwahine, a me ko'u poe kaikunane, a me na kaikaina o'u a me ko lakou mea a pau, a e hoopakele mai ia makou i ka make.
14 They answered her: Be our lives for you unto death, only if thou betray us not. And when the Lord shall have delivered us the land, we will shew thee mercy and truth.
I mai la ua mau kanaka la ia ia, E lilo no ko maua ola no kou, ke hai ole oe i keia hana a maua. A i ka wa e haawi mai ai o Iehova i ka aina no makou, alaila, e hana lokomaikai aku maua ia oe, me ka oiaio.
15 Then she let them down with a cord out of a window: for her house joined close to the wall.
Alaila, ma ke kaula oia i kuu iho ai ia laua ilalo, ma ka puka makani; no ka mea, aia kona hale maluna o ka pa, a noho no oia ma ka pa.
16 And she said to them: Get ye up to the mountains, lest perhaps they meet you as they return: and there lie ye hid three days, till they come back, and so you shall go on your way.
I aku la ia ia laua, E hele olua i ka mauna, o loaa olua i ka poe hahai; a e pee malaila, i ekolu mau la, a hoi mai ka poe hahai; alaila, o hele olua i ko olua wahi e hele ai.
17 And they said to her: We shall be blameless of this oath, which thou hast made us swear:
I mai la ua mau kanaka la ia ia, Aole loa maua e lawehala i ka hoohiki ana a maua i hoohiki ai nou.
18 If when we come into the land, this scarlet cord be a sign, and thou tie it in the window, by which thou hast let us down: and gather together thy father and mother, and brethren and all thy kindred into thy house.
A hiki makou i keia aina, alaila, e hikii oe ma ka puka i keia kaula ulaula au i hookuu iho ai ia maua ilalo; a e hoakoakoa mai oe, ma kou hale, i kou makuakane a me kou makuwahine, a me kou poe kaikunane a me ka poe a pau o kou makuakane.
19 Whosoever shall go out of the door of thy house, his blood shall be upon his own head, and we shall be quit. But the blood of all that shall be with thee in the house, shall light upon our head, if any man touch them.
A o ka mea puka mawaho o ka puka o kou hale ma ke alanui, aia no kona koko maluna o kona poo iho, a e hala ole maua; a o na mea ma ou nei, maloko o ka hale, eia no kona koko maluna o ko maua poo, ke kau ka lima maluna ona.
20 But if thou wilt betray us, and utter this word abroad, we shall be quit of this oath which thou hast made us swear.
A ina e hai oe i keia hana a maua, alaila, aole maua e lawehala i ka hoohiki ana a maua i hoohiki ai nou.
21 And she answered: As you have spoken, so be it done. And sending them on their way, she hung the scarlet cord in the window.
I aku la keia, E like me ka olua olelo, pela no. Kuu iho la oia ia laua, a hele aku la laua; a hikii iho la ia i ke kaula ula ma ka puka.
22 But they went and came to the mountains, and stayed there three days till they that pursued them were returned. For having sought them through all the way, they found them not.
Hele aku la laua a hiki i ka mauna, a noho iho la ilaila i na la ekolu, a hoi mai ka poe hahai. Ua imi aku la ka poe hahai ia laua, ma ke ala a pau, aole hoi i loaa.
23 And when they were gone back into the city, the spies returned, and came down from the mountain: and passing over the Jordan, they came to Josue the son of Nun, and told him all that befel them.
A hoi mai la ua mau kanaka la elua, e iho ana mai ka mauna mai, hele ae la laua, a hiki aku la io Iosua la, i ke keiki a Nuna, a hai aku la ia ia i na mea a pau i loaa ia lana:
24 And said: The Lord hath delivered all this land into our hands, and all the inhabitants thereof are overthrown with fear.
Olelo aku la laua ia Iosua, Ua haawi io mai no o Iehova i ka aina a pau i ko kakou lima; no ka mea, ua maule hoi ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ia aina, no kakou.
