< Joshua 6 >

1 Now, Jericho, was shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel, —none came out and none went 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 Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, See, I have delivered, into thy hand, Jericho and her king, —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 So then ye shall compass the city all ye men of war, going round the city, once, —thus, shall 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 the seven rams’ horns before the ark, and, on the seventh day, shall ye 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 come to pass, when the ram’s horn soundeth, when ye hear the sound of the horn, that all the people shall shout with a great shout, —and then shall the wall of the city fall down under it, 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 Then called Joshua son of Nun unto the priests, and said unto them, Bear ye the ark of the covenant, —and let, seven priest, bear seven rams horns, before the ark of Yahweh.
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 Then said he unto the people, Pass on and compass the city, —and let, the armed host, pass on before the ark of Yahweh.
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, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that, the seven priests who were bearing the seven rams’ horns before Yahweh, passed on and blew with the horns, —the ark of the covenant of Yahweh also coming after 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 host, went on before the priests who blew with the horns, —and, the rear-guard, came after the ark, going on and blowing with the horns.
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 Now, unto the people, had Joshua given command, saying—Ye shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall there go out of your mouth, a word, —until the day when I say unto 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 Yahweh to compass the city, going round 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 bare the ark of Yahweh;
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 who bare the seven rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh, went on and on, and blew with the horns, —with, the armed host going on before them, and, the rear-guard, coming after the ark of Yahweh, going on and blowing with the horns.
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 So they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp, —thus, did they, 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 uprisings of the dawn, and compassed the city after this 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, then did Joshua say unto the people—Shout, for Yahweh hath delivered unto 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 it shall be, that, as for the city, devoted, shall it be and all that is therein unto Yahweh, —nevertheless, Rahab the harlot, shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom 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 But, in any wise, do, ye, beware of what is devoted, lest ye should covet, and then take of what is devoted, —and so cause the camp of Israel to be devoted, and bring trouble upon 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, as for all silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron, hallowed, it is to Yahweh, —unto the treasury of Yahweh, shall it come.
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, when the horns were blown, —yea 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 under it, and the people went up into the city every man straight before him, and so they captured 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 devoted all that were 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 But, unto the two men who spied out the land, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, —and bring out thence the woman and all that she hath, as ye aware 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 So 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, yea, all her kindred, brought they out, —and set them outside 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 But, the city, burned they with fire, and all that was therein, —save only, the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and of iron, put they into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.
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 And, Rahab the harlot and the household of her father and all that she had, did Joshua save alive, so she hath dwelt in the midst of Israel until 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 imposed an oath at that time, saying, —Cursed be the man before Yahweh who shall raise up and build this city—Jericho, At the price of his firstborn, shall he lay its foundation, and, at the price of his youngest, shall he set up its doors.
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 And so it was that Yahweh 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.
