Judges 2
1 And the Messenger of YHWH goes up from Gilgal to Bochim,
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova mei Kilikali ki Pokimi, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻaku ʻo hake ʻakimoutolu mei ʻIsipite, pea kuo u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; pea ne u pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te u liʻaki ʻeku fuakava mo kimoutolu.
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?
Pea ʻe ʻikai te mou alea ke fakataha mo e kakai ʻoe fonua ni: ka te mou laku hifo honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga:’ ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fai talangofua ki hoku leʻo: ko e hā kuo mou fai ai ʻae meʻa ni?
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.”
Ko ia kuo u lea foki ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te u kapusi ʻakinautolu mei homou ʻao: ka tenau hoko [ko e ngaahi talaʻi ʻakau ]ʻi homou vakavaka, pea ko honau ngaahi ʻotua ko e tauhele kiate kimoutolu.”
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,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he lea ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe hiki hake honau leʻo ʻe he kakai, ʻo tangi.
5 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice to YHWH there.
Pea naʻa nau ui hono hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia ko Pokimi: pea naʻa nau fai ʻi ai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova.
6 And Joshua sends the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
Pea ʻi he tuku ʻe Siosiua ʻae kakai ke ʻalu; naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae tangata taki taha kotoa pē ki hono tofiʻa ke maʻu ʻae fonua.
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.
Pea naʻe tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻe he kakai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Siosiua, pea mo e ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoe kau mātuʻa naʻa nau moʻui fuoloa ange ʻia Siosiua, ʻakinautolu naʻe mamata ki he ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fai maʻa ʻIsileli.
8 And Joshua son of Nun, servant of YHWH, dies, a son of one hundred and ten years,
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, kuo teau taʻu hono motuʻa mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu.
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;
Pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻo hono tofiʻa ʻi Timinate-Helesi, ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻi hono potu tokelau ʻoe moʻunga ko Keasi.
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.
Pea naʻe tānaki foki ʻae toʻutangata kotoa pē ko ia ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe tupu hake ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha ʻo hoko mo kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ʻa Sihova, pe ko e ngaahi ngāue foki naʻe fai ʻe ia maʻa ʻIsileli.
11 And the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim,
Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa [nau ]tauhi ʻa Peali:
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,
Pea naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻonau muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻonau punou hifo ʻakinautolu kiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova.
13 indeed, they forsake YHWH, and do service to Ba‘al and to Ashtaroth.
Pea naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa Sihova, ʻo tauhi ʻa Peali mo ʻAsitelote.
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;
Pea naʻe tupu ʻo vela lahi ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻoe kau maumau, ʻaia naʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu, pea naʻa ne fakatau ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili naʻe takatakai ʻakinautolu, ko ia naʻe ʻikai tenau kei faʻa tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili.
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.
Ko e ngaahi potu kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai, naʻe hiki ai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate kinautolu ki he kovi, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ko e fuakava ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu: pea naʻa nau mamahi lahi.
16 And YHWH raises up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
Ka neongo ia naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻe Sihova ʻae kau fakamaau, ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻokinautolu naʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu.
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.
Ka naʻe ʻikai tenau fie fanongo ki honau kau fakamaau, ka naʻa nau ʻalu holi kovi pe ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ke punou hifo ʻakinautolu ki ai: naʻa nau tafoki vave mei he hala ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi [heʻenau ]fai talangofua ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova: he naʻe ʻikai tenau fai pehē.
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.
Pea ʻi he fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻae kau fakamaau kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻi he fakamaau ʻa Sihova, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoe fakamaau: he naʻe fakatomala ʻa Sihova ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi toʻe koeʻuhi ko kinautolu naʻe fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu mo fakafiuʻi ʻakinautolu.
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he pekia leva ʻae fakamaau, naʻa nau tafoki ʻo fakahalaʻi lahi ʻaupito hake ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi he muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ke tauhi ʻakinautolu, ʻo punou hifo ki ai; naʻe ʻikai tenau tuku ʻenau fai ki honau faianga, pe mei he anga mālohi ʻanautolu.
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—
Pea naʻe tupu ʻo vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki ʻIsileli; pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he liʻaki ʻe he kakai ni ʻeku fuakava ʻaia naʻaku fekau ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai tenau tokanga ki hoku leʻo;
21 I also do not continue to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua has left when he dies,
Ngata mei heni, ʻe ʻikai te u kapusi mei honau ʻao ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga naʻe tuku ʻe Siosiua ʻi heʻene pekia;
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.”
Koeʻuhi ke u ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻiate kinautolu, ke ʻilo pe tenau tauhi ʻae hala ʻo Sihova ke ʻalu ʻi ai, ʻo hangē hono tauhi ia ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai, pe ʻikai.”
23 And YHWH leaves these nations, so as not to dispossess them quickly, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
Ko ia naʻe tuku pē ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia, ʻo ʻikai kapusi vave ʻakinautolu kituaʻā: pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Siosiua.
