Joshua 6
1 Now, Jericho, was shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel, —none came out and none went in.
Pea ko eni, naʻe tāpuni maʻu ʻa Seliko koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: naʻe ʻikai hū kituʻa ha tokotaha, pe hū ha tokotaha ki loto.
2 Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, See, I have delivered, into thy hand, Jericho and her king, —the mighty men of valour.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Vakai, Kuo u tuku ʻa Seliko ki ho nima, mo hono tuʻi, mo e kau tangata toʻa ʻo ia.
3 So then ye shall compass the city all ye men of war, going round the city, once, —thus, shall thou do six days.
Pea ko kimoutolu ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē, te mou ʻāʻi ʻae kolo, ʻo ʻalu ʻo takatakai ʻo tuʻo taha. Pea ke fai pehē pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono.
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.
Pea ʻe fua ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻe toko fitu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae meʻalea ʻe fitu, ko e nifo ʻoe sipitangata: pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho te mou ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻi he kolo ke liunga fitu, pea ʻe ifi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae meʻalea.
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.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka nau ka ifi fakamānavaloloaʻaki ʻae meʻalea ko e nifo ʻoe sipitangata, pea ka mou ka ongoʻi ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe meʻalea, ʻe kaila ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻi he fuʻu kaila lahi; pea ʻe hinga lafalafa ai ʻae ʻā ʻoe kolo, pea ʻe ʻalu hake fakahangatonu atu ki ai ʻae tangata kotoa pē.”
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.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua, ko e foha ʻo Nuni ki he kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou toʻo hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, pea ke fua ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻe toko fitu ʻae meʻalea ʻe fitu ko e nifo ʻoe sipitangata, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha tapu ʻo Sihova.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai, “Mou ʻalu atu, ʻo kāpui ʻae kolo, pea ko ia ʻoku toʻo mahafutau ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻi he puha tapu ʻo Sihova.”
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻae lea ʻa Siosiua, ki he kakai, ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻe toko fitu, ʻaia naʻe fua ʻae meʻalea ʻe fitu, ʻae nifo ʻoe sipitangata, naʻa nau ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo ifi ʻae ngaahi meʻalea: pea naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻae kau tangata toʻo mahafutau ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki naʻe ifi ʻae meʻalea, pea naʻe muimui ʻi he puha ʻae tau lahi, naʻe fai ʻae ʻalu atu mo e ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea.
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.
Pea kuo ʻosi hono fekau ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa mou kaila, pe fai ha longoaʻa ʻaki homou leʻo, pea ʻoua naʻa ʻalu atu ha lea mei homou ngutu, kaeʻoua ke hokosia ʻae ʻaho ʻaia te u fekau ke mou kaila; pea te mou toki kaila.
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.
Ko ia, naʻe ʻalu takatakai ʻi he kolo ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova, ʻo ʻalu fakatakamilo tuʻo taha: pea naʻa nau toe haʻu ki he ʻapitanga, ʻo mohe ʻi he ʻapitanga.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, —and the priests bare the ark of Yahweh;
Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pongipongi, pea toʻo hake ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻaluʻalu maʻu pe ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻe toko fitu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he puha ʻo Sihova ʻonau toʻo ʻae meʻalea ʻe fitu ko e nifo ʻoe sipitangata, ʻo ifi pe ʻae ngaahi meʻalea: pea naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau tangata toʻo mahafutau: pea muimui ʻi he puha tapu ʻo Sihova ʻae tau lahi, kae ʻalu ai pe ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻo ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea.
14 So they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp, —thus, did they, six days.
Pea ko hono ua ʻoe ʻaho naʻa nau takatakai ʻae kolo ʻo tuʻo taha, pea toe haʻu ki he ʻapitanga: pea naʻa nau fai pehē pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe 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.
Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻo feʻunga mo e maʻa ʻae ʻaho, ʻonau takatakai pehē pe ʻae kolo ke liunga fitu: ka ko e ʻaho pē taha ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻi he kolo ʻo liunga fitu.
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.
Pea ʻi hono liunga fitu naʻe pehē, ʻi he ifi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea, naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “Mou kaila; he kuo foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ʻae kolo.
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.
Pea ʻe fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻae kolo, ʻaia mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai kia Sihova: ka ʻe moʻui ʻa Lehapi pē, ko e angahala, ko ia mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻi he fale, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fufū ʻae ongo mataki naʻa tau fekau.
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.
Pea ko kimoutolu, mou taʻofi muʻa ʻakimoutolu mei he meʻa malaʻia, telia naʻa mou fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻi hoʻomou ala ki he meʻa malaʻia, ʻo fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻae ʻapitanga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakamamahiʻi ia.
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.
Ka ko e siliva kotoa pē, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa mo e ʻaione, kuo fakatapui kia Sihova: ʻe ʻomi ia kotoa pē ki he fale koloa ʻo Sihova.”
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.
Ko ia naʻe kaila ʻae kakai ʻi he ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki: pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai ki he ifi ʻoe meʻalea, pea kaila ʻe he kakai ʻi he fuʻu kaila lahi, naʻe hinga lafalafa ʻae ā ki lalo, pea ʻalu hangatonu hake ʻae kakai ki loto kolo, ʻo ʻalu hangatonu atu ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻonau maʻu ʻae kolo.
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.
Pea naʻa nau fakaʻauha ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he kolo, ʻae tangata mo e fefine, ʻae talavou mo e mātuʻa, mo e fanga pulu, mo e ʻasi, mo e sipi, ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.
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.
Ka naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ki he ongo tangata naʻe mataki ʻae fonua, “Mo hū ki he fale ʻoe fefine angahala, pea ʻomi mei ai ʻae fefine, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu ʻo hangē ko hoʻomo fuakava kiate 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.
Pea naʻe hū ki ai ʻae ongo talavou ʻaia ko e ongo mataki, ʻo ʻomi kituʻa ʻa Lehapi, mo ʻene tamai, mo ʻene faʻē, mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu; pea naʻa nau ʻomi kituʻa hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he tuʻa ʻapitanga ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae afi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai: ka ko e koula, mo e siliva, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa mo e ʻaione, naʻa nau tuku ki he fale koloa ʻo Sihova.
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.
Pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Siosiua ʻa Lehapi ko e angahala, mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu; pea ʻoku nofo ia ʻi ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fufū ʻae ongo tangata fekau, ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Siosiua ke mataki ʻae fonua.
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.
Pea naʻe lea tuki ʻa Siosiua kiate kinautolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, “Malaʻia ki he tangata ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻoku tuʻu hake ʻo toe langa ʻae kolo ni ko Seliko: ʻe ʻai ʻe ia ʻa hono tuʻunga ʻi heʻene ʻuluaki tupu, pea ʻi hono foha kimui te ne fokotuʻu ʻa hono matapā.”
27 And so it was that Yahweh was with Joshua, —and his fame was in all the land.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻae ʻia Siosiua ʻa Sihova; pea naʻe ongona hono ongoongolelei ʻi he potu kotoa pē ko ia.
