< Joshua 6 >

1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. —
Na he mea tino tutaki a Heriko i te wehi i nga tama a Iharaira; kahore he tangata i haere ki waho, kahore hoki tetahi i haere ki roto.
2 And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, even the mighty men of valour.
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Titiro, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou ringa a Heriko, me tona kingi, ratou ko nga marohirohi.
3 And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Na taiawhiotia te pa e koutou, e nga tangata hapai patu katoa, me haere a tawhio noa te pa, kia kotahi ano awhiotanga, Kia ono nga ra e pena ai koe.
4 And seven priests shall bear seven rams' horns before the ark; and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the horns.
A kia tokowhitu nga tohunga e mau i nga tetere haona hipi e whitu ki mua i te aaka; a i te whitu o nga ra me taiawhio e koutou te pa, kia whitu nga taiawhiotanga, a me whakatangi e nga tohunga nga tetere.
5 And it shall be, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the horn, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.'
A, ko roa te tangi o te haona hipi, a ka rangona e koutou te tangi o te tetere, me hamama katoa te iwi, kia nui te hamama; na ka hinga te taiepa o te pa, papa rawa ki raro, a ka piki atu te iwi, tera, tera, i nga wahi e rite mai ana ki a ratou.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them: 'Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.'
Na ka karanga a Hohua, te tama a Nunu, ki nga tohunga, ka mea ki a ratou, Hapainga te aaka o te kawenata, a ma nga tohunga tokowhitu e mau nga tetere haona hipi e whitu ki mua i te aaka a Ihowa.
7 And he said unto the people: 'Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed body pass on before the ark of the LORD.'
A i mea ratou ki te iwi, Haere, taiawhiotia te pa, a ko nga tangata hapai patu e haere i mua i te aaka a Ihowa.
8 And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven rams' horns before the LORD passed on, and blew with the horns; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
Heoi, i te korerotanga a Hohua ki te iwi, na ka mau nga tohunga tokowhitu ki nga tetere haona hipi e whitu, a haere ana i mua i a Ihowa, me te whakatangi ano i nga tetere; i haere hoki te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i muri i a ratou.
9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew the horns, and the rearward went after the ark, the priests blowing with the horns continually.
A ko nga tangata hapai patu i haere i mua i nga tohunga e whakatangi ana i nga tetere, ko te hiku i haere i muri i te aaka, haere ana nga tohunga me te whakatangi haere i nga tetere.
10 And Joshua commanded the people, saying: 'Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.'
A i whakaako a Hohua i te iwi, i mea, Kaua e hamama, kaua o koutou reo e rangona, kei puta hoki tetahi kupu i o koutou waha, a tae noa ki te ra e mea ai ahau ki a koutou, kia hamama; hei reira koutou ka hamama.
11 So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Na meinga ana e ia kia taiawhiotia te pa e te aaka a Ihowa, haere ana a tawhio noa, kotahi ano taiawhiotanga: na ka haere ratou ki te puni, a moe ana ki te puni.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
A ka maranga wawe a Hohua i te ata, a hapainga ake ana e nga tohunga te aaka a Ihowa.
13 And the seven priests bearing the seven rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the horns; and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests blowing with the horns continually.
I mau ano hoki nga tohunga tokowhitu i nga tetere haona hipi e whitu i mua i te aaka a Ihowa, i haere tonu me te whakatangi haere i nga tetere: a ko nga tangata hapai patu i haere i mua i a ratou; ko te nuinga ia i haere i muri i te aaka a Ihowa: haere ana nga tohunga me te whakatangi ano i nga tetere.
14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp; so they did six days.
A i te rua o nga ra i taiawhiotia e ratou te pa, kotahi ano taiawhiotanga, a hoki ana ki te puni: a pera tonu ratou i nga ra e ono.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times; only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
Na i te whitu o nga ra ka maranga wawe ratou i te puaotanga o te ra, ka taiawhio hoki i te pa, e whitu nga taiawhiotanga, ko taua ritenga ra ano; otiia i taua ra e whitu a ratou taiawhiotanga i te pa.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the horns, that Joshua said unto the people: 'Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
Na i te whitu o nga taiawhiotanga, ka whakatanga nga tohunga i nga tetere, ka mea a Hohua ki te iwi, Hamama; kua homai hoki e Ihowa te pa ki a koutou.
17 And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, to the LORD; only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Hei mea oti atu ano te pa ma Ihowa, a reira me nga mea katoa i roto; ko Rahapa anake, ko te wahine kairau, ko ia kia ora me nga mea katoa i a ia i roto i te whare, mona i huna i nga tangata i tonoa atu e tatou.
18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed by taking of the devoted thing, so should ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
Ko koutou ia, kia hopohopo ki te mea kua oti te kanga, kei takina he kanga ki a koutou, ki te tango i tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti te kanga; a ka meinga te ope o Iharaira kia kanga, a whakararua iho e koutou.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy unto the LORD; they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.'
Engari nga hiriwa me nga koura, me nga mea parahi, rino hoki, kia tapu ena ma Ihowa; me riro ena ki roto ki te whare taonga a Ihowa.
20 So the people shouted, and the priests blew with the horns. And it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Heoi ka hamama te iwi, a ka whakatangi nga tohunga i nga tetere: na, i te rongonga o te iwi i te tangi o te tetere, ko te tino hamamatanga o te iwi, he nui te hamama, a hinga iho te taiepa, papa rawa ki raro, a piki atu ana te iwi ki roto ki te pa, tera, tera, i te wahi e rite mai ana ki a ia, na horo ana i a ratou te pa.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
A tino huna rawatia e ratou nga mea katoa i te pa, nga tane, nga wahine, nga taitamariki, nga koroheke, nga kau, nga hipi, nga kaihe, ki te mata o te hoari.
22 And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land: 'Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye swore unto her.'
A i mea a Hohua ki nga tangata tokorua i tuteia ai te whenua, Haere ki te whare o te wahine kairau, mauria mai hoki i reira te wahine me nga mea katoa i a ia, whakaritea ta korua i oati ai ki a ia.
23 And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had, all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp of Israel.
Na ka haere aua taitama, nga tutei, a mauria ana mai e raua a Rahapa, tona papa, tona whaea, ona tungane, me nga mea katoa i a ia, a mauria katoatia mai ana hoki e raua ona whanaunga katoa ki waho; a waiho ana i waho o te puni o Iharaira.
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
Na tahuna ake e ratou te pa ki te ahi, me nga mea katoa i roto: ko te hiriwa anake, me te koura, me nga mea parahi, rino hoki, i hoatu e ratou ki te whare taonga o te whare o Ihowa.
25 But Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel, unto this day; because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Otiia ko Rahapa, ko te wahine kairau, ko te nohoanga o tona papa, me nga mea katoa i a ia, i whakaorangia e Hohua; a noho ana ia i waenganui o Iharaira a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, mona i huna i nga tangata i tonoa e Hohua ki te tutei i Heriko.
26 And Joshua charged the people with an oath at that time, saying: 'Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city, even Jericho; with the loss of his first-born shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.'
Na ka whakaoati a Hohua i a ratou i taua wa, ka mea, Ka kanga te tangata ki te aroaro o Ihowa e whakatika ana, ka hanga i tenei pa, i Heriko: ka whakaturia e ia hei runga i tana matamua, ka whakanohoia ano nga tatau hei runga i tana tama o muri.
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Heoi i a Hohua tonu a Ihowa; a paku ana tona rongo puta noa i te whenua.
