< Judges 2 >
1 And the Messenger of YHWH goes up from Gilgal to Bochim,
Na ka haere ake te anahera a Ihowa i Kirikara ki Pokimi, a ka mea, Naku koutou i haere mai ai i Ihipa, naku hoki koutou i kawe mai ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o koutou matua; i mea ano ahau, E kore e taka taku kawenata ki a koutou.
2 and says, “I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you for all time; and you make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land—you break down their altars; and you have not listened to My voice—what [is] this you have done?
Kaua ano koutou e whakarite kawenata ki nga tangata o tenei whenua; me pakaru e koutou a ratou aata. Heoi kihai nei koutou i rongo ki toku reo. He aha tenei mahi a koutou?
3 And I have also said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been for adversaries to you, and their gods are for a snare to you.”
Koia hoki ahau ka mea nei, E kore ahau e pei atu i a ratou i to koutou aroaro; a ka waiho ratou ano he tataramoa ki o koutou kaokao; ko o ratou atua hoki hei rore mo koutou.
4 And it comes to pass, when the Messenger of YHWH speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
A, no te korerotanga a te anahera a Ihowa i enei kupu ki nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, ka ara te reo o te iwi, ka tangi.
5 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice to YHWH there.
Na huaina iho e ratou te ingoa o taua wahi ko Pokimi: i patu whakahere ano hoki ratou ma Ihowa ki reira.
6 And Joshua sends the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
Na, i ta Hohua tukunga i te iwi kia haere, ka haere nga tamariki a Iharaira ki tona wahi, ki tona wahi, ki te tango i te whenua.
7 and the people serve YHWH all [the] days of Joshua, and all [the] days of [the] elderly who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of YHWH which He did to Israel.
A i mahi te iwi ki a Ihowa i nga ra katoa o Hohua, i nga ra katoa ano o nga kaumatua i roa ake nei o ratou ra i o Hohua, i kite nei i nga mahi nunui katoa a Ihowa i meinga e ia mo Iharaira.
8 And Joshua son of Nun, servant of YHWH, dies, a son of one hundred and ten years,
Na ka mate a Hohua tama a Nunu, te pononga a Ihowa, kotahi rau kotahi tekau ona tau.
9 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash;
A tanumia iho ia e ratou ki te rohe o tona wahi, ki Timinataherehe, ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ki te taha ki te raki o Maunga Kaaha.
10 and all that generation have also been gathered to their fathers, and another generation rises after them who have not known YHWH, and even the work which He has done to Israel.
Na ka kohia ano hoki taua whakatupuranga katoa ki o ratou matua: a ka ara ake tetahi whakatupuranga ke i muri i a ratou, kihai nei i mohio ki a Ihowa, ki nga mahi ano hoki i mahia e ia mo Iharaira.
11 And the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim,
Na ka mahi nga tamariki a Iharaira i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa, ka mahi hoki ki nga Paara.
12 and forsake YHWH, God of their fathers, who brings them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] around them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke YHWH,
A whakarerea ake e ratou a Ihowa, te Atua o o ratou matua i whakaputa mai nei i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa, a haere ana ki te whai i nga atua ke, i nga atua o nga iwi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o ratou, a koropiko ana ki a ratou, na ka mea ra tou i a Ihowa kia riri.
13 indeed, they forsake YHWH, and do service to Ba‘al and to Ashtaroth.
Heoi whakarere ana ratou i a Ihowa, a mahi ana ki a Paara, ki te Ahataroto hoki.
14 And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He gives them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He sells them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, and they have not been able to stand before their enemies anymore;
Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a tukua ana ratou e ia ki nga ringa o nga kaipahua hei pahua i a ratou, a hokona ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha; kihai hoki i taea e ratou i muri iho te tu ake i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri.
15 in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of YHWH has been against them for calamity, as YHWH has spoken, and as YHWH has sworn to them, and they are greatly distressed.
I o ratou haerenga katoa, i runga i a ratou te ringa o Ihowa mo te kino; i rite hoki ki ta Ihowa i korero ai, ki ta Ihowa hoki i oati ai ki a ratou; na te taea to ratou raru.
16 And YHWH raises up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
I whakaara ake ano a Ihowa i etahi kaiwhakarite hei whakaora i a ratou i te ringa o o ratou kaipahua.
17 and they have also not listened to their judges, but have gone whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in] which their fathers walked to obey the commands of YHWH—they have not done so.
Heoi kihai ano ratou i whakarongo ki o ratou kaiwhakarite; na kei te puremu, kei te whai ki nga atua ke, kei te koropiko ki a ratou: hohoro tonu to ratou peka ke i te ara i haere ai o ratou matua, ara i te whakarongo ki nga whakahau a Ihowa; kih ai ratou i pera.
18 And when YHWH raised up judges for them—then YHWH was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all [the] days of the judge; for YHWH sighs, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.
A i nga wa i whakaara ake ai a Ihowa i nga kaiwhakarite mo ratou, na i te kaiwhakarite a Ihowa, a whakaorangia ake ratou e ia i te ringa o o ratou hoariri i nga ra katoa o te kaiwhakarite: i puta ke hoki te whakaaro o Ihowa i a ratou e aue ana i o ratou kaitukino, i o ratou kaiwhakatoi.
19 And it has come to pass, when the judge dies—they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.
A, no te matenga o te kaiwhakarite, ka hoki ratou ki muri, nui atu to ratou takanga i to o ratou matua; i haere hoki ki te whai i nga atua ke, mahi ai ki a ratou, koropiko ai ki a ratou; kihai i mutu a ratou mahi, me ta ratou tikanga pakeke.
20 And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He says, “Because that this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to My voice—
Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a ka mea ia, Na, kua takahia e tenei iwi taku kawenata i whakahaua e ahau ki o ratou matua; kihai ano i rongo ki toku reo;
21 I also do not continue to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua has left when he dies,
Na, e kore ano ahau e pei atu i tetahi tangata i mua i a ratou o nga iwi i mahue iho i a Hohua i tona matenga.
22 in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of YHWH, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it], or not.”
Kia ai ratou hei whakamatautau maku i a Iharaira, e mau ranei ki te ara o Ihowa haere ai; e rite ranei te mau ki ta o ratou matua, kahore ranei.
23 And YHWH leaves these nations, so as not to dispossess them quickly, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
Na ka waiho era iwi e Ihowa, kihai hoki i hohoro te peia atu; kihai ano hoki i tukua ki te ringa o Hohua.
