Joshua 7
1 But the children of Israel committed a trespasse in the excommunicate thing: for Achan the sonne of Carmi, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zerah of the tribe of Iuda tooke of the excommunicate thing: wherfore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
Ka naʻe fai hala ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he meʻa fakamalaʻia: he ko ʻAkani, ko e foha ʻo Kalimi, ko e foha ʻo Sapiti, ko e foha ʻo Sela ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Siuta, naʻa ne toʻo ʻae meʻa malaʻia: pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
2 And Ioshua sent men from Iericho to Ai, which is beside Bethauen, on ye East side of Bethel, and spake vnto them, saying, Goe vp, and view the countrey. And ye men went vp, and viewed Ai,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ʻae kau tangata mei Seliko ki ʻAi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu ʻo Pete-ʻAveni, ʻi he potu hahake ʻo Peteli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAlu hake ʻo vakai ki he fonua. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kau tangata ʻonau fakasiosio ki ʻAi.”
3 And returned to Ioshua, and saide vnto him, Let not al the people go vp, but let as it were two or three thousand men go vp, and smite Ai, and make not al the people to labour thither, for they are fewe.
Pea naʻa nau liu mai kia Siosiua, “ʻO nau talaange kiate ia, ʻoua naʻa tuku ke ʻalu hake ʻae kakai kotoa pē; kae tuku ke ʻalu hake ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko ua afe pē ko e toko tolu afe ʻo taaʻi ʻa ʻAi; pea ʻoua naʻa pule ke ʻalu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki ai he ʻoku nau tokosiʻi pē.”
4 So there went vp thither of the people about three thousande men, and they fledde before the men of Ai.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ki ai ʻi he kakai ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu afe: pea naʻa nau hola mei he ʻao ʻoe kau tangata ʻo ʻAi.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them vpon a thirtie and sixe men: for they chased them from before the gate vnto Shebarim, and smote them in the going downe: wherfore the heartes of the people melted away like water.
Pea naʻe teʻia ʻiate kinautolu ʻe he kau tangata ʻo ʻAi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungofulu ma toko ono; he naʻa nau tuli ʻakinautolu mei he ʻao ʻoe matapā ʻo aʻu ki Sepalimi, pea naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻalu hifo: ko ia naʻe vaivai ai ʻae loto ʻoe kakai, pea hoko ʻo hangē ha vai.
6 Then Ioshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth vpon his face before the Arke of the Lord, vntill the euentide, he, and the Elders of Israel, and put dust vpon their heads.
Pea naʻe hae ʻe Siosiua hono kofu, pea fakato ia ki he kelekele ki hono mata ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻo Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, ʻaia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe ʻai ʻae efu ki honau ʻulu.
7 And Ioshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou brought this people ouer Iorden, to deliuer vs into the hande of the Amorites, and to destroye vs? would God we had bene content to dwell on the other side Iorden.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua, “ʻOiauē, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e hā nai kuo ke ʻomi ai ʻae kakai ni, ki he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani, ke fakatukutukuʻi ʻakimautolu ki he nima ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ke fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu? ʻAmusiaange ne mau fiemālie, pea nofomaʻu ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani!
8 Oh Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turne their backes before their enemies?
ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻeku lea ʻe fai, ʻoka fulituʻa ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo Situa ki honau ngaahi fili!
9 For the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land shall heare of it, and shall compasse vs, and destroy our name out of the earth: and what wilt thou doe vnto thy mightie Name?
He ko e kakai Kēnani ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua tenau fanongo ki ai, pea tenau ʻāʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻonau motuhi homau hingoa mei māmani: pea ko e hā te ke fai ki ho huafa lahi?”
10 And the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Get thee vp: wherefore lyest thou thus vpon thy face?
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu hake koe; ko e hā ʻoku ke tokoto ai ki ho mata?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they haue transgressed my couenant, which I commanded them: for they haue euen taken of the excommunicate thing, and haue also stollen, and dissembled also, and haue put it euen with their owne stuffe.
Kuo fai angahala ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kuo nau fai talangataʻa ki heʻeku fuakava ʻaia naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu: he kuo nau toʻo ʻae meʻa malaʻia, pea kuo nau kaihaʻa, mo fai fakakākā foki, pea kuo nau ʻai ia ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻanautolu.
12 Therefore ye children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies, but haue turned their backes before their enemies, because they be execrable: neither will I bee with you any more, except ye destroy the excommunicate from among you.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ka naʻe tafoki atu honau tuʻa ki he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili; koeʻuhi kuo fakamalaʻia ʻakinautolu: pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakaʻauha ʻae meʻa kovi meiate kimoutolu.
13 Vp therefore, sanctifie the people, and say, Sanctifie your selues against to morowe: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an execrable thing among you, O Israel, therefore ye cannot stand against your enemies, vntill ye haue put the execrable thing from among you.
Tuʻu hake, fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae kakai, mo ke pehē, ‘Fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻapongipongi:’ he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻE ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate koe ʻae meʻa fakamalaʻia; ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho ngaahi fili, kaeʻoua ke mou toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻae meʻa fakamalaʻia meiate kimoutolu.
14 In the morning therefore ye shall come according to your tribes, and the tribe which the Lord taketh, shall come according to the families: and the familie which the Lord shall take, shall come by the housholds: and the houshold which the Lord shall take, shall come man by man.
Ko ia, ʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he pongipongi ʻo fakatatau ki homou ngaahi faʻahinga: pea ʻe pehē, ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ʻe haʻu ia ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi nofoʻanga: pea ko e nofoʻanga ko ia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova tenau haʻu ʻo fakatatau mo honau ngaahi fale: pea ko e fale ko ia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova tenau haʻu tautau tokotaha pe ʻae tangata.
15 And he that is taken with the excommunicate thing, shall be burnt with fire, hee, and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the couenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
Pea ʻe fai pehē, ko ia ʻoku moʻua mo e meʻa malaʻia ʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi, ʻaia mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu: koeʻuhi kuo fai talangataʻa ia ki he fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fai angahala ʻi ʻIsileli.”
16 So Ioshua rose vp earely in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes: and the tribe of Iudah was taken.
Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga; pea naʻe fili ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Siuta;
17 And he brought the families of Iudah, and tooke the familie of the Zarhites, and he brought the familie of the Zarhites, man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
Pea ne ʻomi ʻae nofoʻanga ʻo Siuta pea ne fili ʻae fale ʻo Sela: pea ne ʻomi ʻae fale ʻo Sela ʻo tautau tokotaha ʻae tangata; pea naʻe fili ʻa Sapiti.
18 And he brought his houshold, man by man, and Achan ye sonne of Carmi, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zerah of the tribe of Iudah was take.
Pea naʻe ʻomi hono kau nofoʻanga ʻo tautau tokotaha ʻae tangata: pea moʻua ʻa ʻAkani, ʻaia ko e foha ʻo Kalimi, ko e foha ʻa Sapiti, ko e foha ʻo Sela, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta.
19 Then Ioshua said vnto Achan, My sonne, I beseech thee, giue glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession vnto him, and shewe me now what thou hast done: hide it not from me.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua kia ʻAkani, “ʻE hoku foha, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakaʻapaʻapa kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ke vete kiate ia; pea ke tala mai ni kiate au ʻaia naʻa ke fai; ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ia ʻiate au.”
20 And Achan answered Ioshua, and saide, In deede, I haue sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus, and thus haue I done.
Pea talaange ʻe ʻAkani kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni kuo u fai angahala kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ʻoku pehē pe, mo pehē pe ʻeku fai:
21 I sawe among the spoyle a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundreth shekels of siluer, and a wedge of golde of fiftie shekels weight, and I coueted them, and tooke them: and behold, they lye hid in the earth in the mids of my tent, and the siluer vnder it.
ʻI heʻeku mamata ʻi he meʻa naʻe vete ki he kofu fakaPapilone matamatalelei, mo e sikeli siliva ʻe uangeau mo e konga koula, ko e sikeli ʻe nimangofulu hono mamafa, ne u manumanu ki ai, peau ʻave ia: pea vakai, kuo fufū ia ʻi he kelekele ʻi hoku loto fale fehikitaki, pea ʻoku ʻi lalo ʻae siliva.”
22 Then Ioshua sent messengers, which ran vnto the tent, and beholde, it was hid in his tent, and the siluer vnder it.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ʻae kau talafekau, pea naʻa nau feleleʻi ki he fale fehikitaki; pea vakai, naʻe fufū ia ʻi hono fale fehikitaki, pea naʻe ʻi lalo ʻae siliva.
23 Therefore they tooke them out of the tent, and brought them vnto Ioshua, and vnto all the children of Israel, and layd them before the Lord.
Pea naʻe toʻo ia mei he loto fale fehikitaki, ʻo ʻomi ia kia Siosiua, pea ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, pea folahi atu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
24 Then Ioshua tooke Achan the sonne of Zerah, and the siluer, and the garment and the wedge of golde and his sonnes, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheepe, and his tent, and all that hee had: and all Israel with him brought them vnto the valley of Achor.
Pea ko Siosiua mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, naʻa nau ʻave ʻa ʻAkani, ko e foha ʻo Sela, mo e siliva, mo e kofu, mo e konga koula, mo hono ngaahi foha, mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine, mo ʻene fanga pulu, mo ʻene fanga ʻasi, mo ʻene fanga sipi, mo hono fale fehikitaki, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu: pea nau ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he luo ko ʻAkoli.
25 And Ioshua said, In as much as thou hast troubled vs, the Lord shall trouble thee this day: and all Israel threwe stones at him, and burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua, “Ko e hā kuo ke fakamamahiʻi ai ʻakimautolu? ʻE fakamamahiʻi koe ʻe Sihova he ʻaho ni.” Pea naʻe tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi maka ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea naʻe tutu ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae afi, hili ʻenau tolongaki ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae maka.
26 And they cast vpon him a great heape of stones vnto this day: and so the Lord turned from his fierce wrath: therefore hee called the name of that place, The valley of Achor, vnto this day.
Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate ia ʻae fuʻu ʻesi maka lahi ʻoku tuʻu ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. Pea naʻe tafoki ʻa Sihova mei hono lahi ʻo hono houhau. Ko ia naʻe ui ai ʻae potu ko ia, Ko e luo ʻo ʻAkoli ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
