< Joshua 2 >

1 And he sent Joshua [the] son of Nun from Shittim two men spies secretly saying go see the land and Jericho and they went and they went [the] house of a woman a prostitute and name her [was] Rahab and they lay down there.
Na ka tonoa atu e Hohua, e te tama a Nunu, etahi tangata tokorua i Hitimi hei tutei puku atu, i mea ia, Tikina, tirohia te whenua, me Heriko hoki. Na haere ana raua, a ka tae ki te whare o tetahi wahine kairau, ko Rahapa tona ingoa, a ka moe i re ira.
2 And it was told to [the] king of Jericho saying here! men they have come hither this night from [the] people of Israel to spy out the land.
Na ka korerotia ki te kingi o Heriko, ka meatia, Nana, kua tae mai etahi tangata ki konei i te po nei, no nga tama a Iharaira, he whakataki i te whenua.
3 And he sent [the] king of Jericho to Rahab saying bring out the men who came to you who they came to house your for to spy out all the land they have come.
Na ka tonoa atu e te kingi o Heriko ki a Rahapa, ka mea, Whakaputaina mai ki waho nga tangata i haere mai na ki a koe, i haere atu na ki tou whare: i haere mai hoki raua he mataki i te whenua katoa.
4 And she took the woman [the] two the men and she hid him and she said - right they came to me the men and not I knew from where [were] they.
Na ka hopu te wahine ra ki nga tangata tokorua, a huna iho e ia; a ka mea atu ia, He tika i haere mai nga tangata ki ahau, heoi, kihai ahau i mohio no hea ranei raua:
5 And it was the gate [about] to shut at darkness and the men they went out not I know where? did they go the men pursue quickly after them for you will overtake them.
A, no te wa o te tutakitanga o te kuwaha, no te mea ka pouri nei, ka puta atu aua tangata ki waho: kahore ahau e mohio i haere aua tangata ki hea: kia hohoro te whai i muri i a raua; ka mau hoki raua i a koutou.
6 And she she had taken up them the roof towards and she had hidden them among [the] flax of the tree that had been arranged by her on the roof.
Kahore ia, kua kawea raua e ia ki runga ki te tuanui, a huna ana raua ki nga kakau rinena i horahorangia e ia ki runga i te tuanui.
7 And the men they pursued after them [the] road of the Jordan to the fords and the gate people closed after just when they had gone out the pursuers after them.
Na ka whai nga tangata i muri i a raua na te huarahi ki Horano a tae noa ki nga whakawhitinga: a, no te putanga atu ano o nga kaiwhai i a raua ki waho, ka tutakina te kuwaha.
8 And they not yet they had lain down! and she she went up to them on the roof.
A, kiano raua i takoto noa, na ka haere ake ia ki a raua ki te tuanui;
9 And she said to the men I know that he has given Yahweh to you the land and that it has fallen dread your on us and that they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of you.
Ka mea ki aua tangata, E mohio ana ahau kua hoatu te whenua nei e Ihowa ki a koutou, kua tau mai hoki te wehi o koutou ki a matou, a kei te ngohe noa nga tangata katoa o te whenua nei i a koutou.
10 For we have heard this: he dried up Yahweh [the] waters of [the] sea of reed[s] from before you when came out you from Egypt and [that] which you did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [was] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon and to Og whom you totally destroyed them.
I rongo hoki matou ki ta Ihowa whakamaroketanga i te wai o te Moana Whero i o koutou aroaro, i to koutou putanga mai i Ihipa; ki nga mea hoki i meatia e koutou ki nga kingi tokorua o nga Amori i tawahi o Horano, ki a Hihona raua ko Oka, i huna n ei e koutou.
11 And we heard and it melted heart our and not it arose again spirit in anyone because of you for Yahweh God your he [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
A, i to matou rongonga ano, ka ngohe noa o matou ngakau, kahore atu hoki he tokonga ake o te wairua i roto i tetahi, na koutou hoki: no te mea ko Ihowa, ko to koutou Atua, ko ia te Atua i te rangi i runga, i te whenua hoki i raro.
12 And therefore swear please to me by Yahweh for I have done with you loyalty and you will do also you with [the] household of father my loyalty and you will give to me a sign of faithfulness.
Na, tena, oatitia mai a Ihowa ki ahau, i te mea kua atawhaitia nei korua e ahau, ka atawhai hoki koutou ki te whare o toku matua, a ka homai he tohu pono ki ahau:
13 And you will let live father my and mother my and brothers my and (sisters my *Q(K)*) and all who [belong] to them and you will deliver lives our from death.
Ka whakaora hoki koutou i toku papa, i toku whaea, i oku tungane, i oku tuakana, me a ratou mea katoa, a ka araarai i a matou kei mate.
14 And they said to her the men life our for you to die if not you will tell business our this and it will be when gives Yahweh to us the land and we will do with you loyalty and faithfulness.
Na ka mea aua tangata ki a ia, Ko to maua ora mo to koutou, ki te kahore koutou e whaki i ta maua take: a tenei ake, hei te homaitanga a Ihowa i te whenua ki a matou, ka puta hoki ta matou mahi atawhai, ta matou mahi pono ki a koe.
15 And she let down them with rope through the window for house her [was] in [the] wall of the city wall and in the city wall she [was] dwelling.
Na tukua iho ana raua e ia ki tetahi taura na te matapihi: kei te taiepa tonu hoki o te pa tona whare, a noho ai ia i runga i te taiepa.
16 And she said to them the hill country towards go lest they should meet you the pursuers and you will hide yourselves there three days until return the pursuers and after you will go to way your.
A ka mea ia ki a raua, Haere ki te maunga, kei tutaki nga kaiwhai ki a korua; ka piri ai ki reira kia toru nga ra, kia hoki mai ra ano nga kaiwhai: katahi korua ka haere i to korua huarahi.
17 And they said to her the men [will be] free we from oath your this which you made swear us.
Katahi ka mea aua tangata ki a ia, E kore maua e whai hara mo tenei oati au i whakaoati nei koe i a maua.
18 Here! we [are] about to come in the land [the] cord of [the] thread of the scarlet this you will bind in the window which you let down us in it and father your and mother your and brothers your and all [the] household of father your you will gather to you the house towards.
Nana, ina tae mai matou ki tenei whenua, herea te miro nei, te aho whero nei ki te matapihi i tukua iho nei maua e koe na reira; a me whakahuihui mai ki a koe, ki roto ki te whare, tou papa, me tou whaea, me ou tungane, me te nohoanga katoa o to u papa.
19 And it will be every [one] who he will go out from [the] doors of house your - the outside towards blood his [will be] on own head his and we [will be] free and every [one] who he will be with you in the house blood his [will be] on head our if a hand it will be on him.
Na ahakoa ko wai te tangata e puta atu ana ki waho o nga tatau o tou whare, hei runga ano i tona mahunga ona toto, ko maua ia ka harakore; tena ko nga tangata katoa i roto tahi koutou i te whare, hei o maua mahunga ona toto, ki te pa atu tetahi ringa ki a ia.
20 And if you will tell business our this and we will be free from oath your which you made swear us.
Otiia, ki te korero koe i ta maua take, ka watea maua i tau oati i whakaoati nei koe i a maua.
21 And she said according to words your [be] so it and she sent off them and they went and she bound [the] cord of the scarlet in the window.
Ano ra ko ia, Waiho i ta korua i mea na. A tukua atu ana raua e ia, a haere ana raua: a herea ana e ia te aho whero ki te matapihi.
22 And they went and they came the hill country towards and they remained there three days until they returned the pursuers and they searched the pursuers in all the way and not they found [them].
Na ka haere raua, a ka tae ki te maunga, a noho ana i reira e toru nga ra, a hoki noa nga kaiwhai: a rapu noa nga kaiwhai i a raua i te huarahi katoa, a kahore i kitea.
23 And they returned [the] two the men and they went down from the hill country and they passed over and they came to Joshua [the] son of Nun and they recounted to him all the [things that] had found with them.
Katahi ka hoki aua tangata tokorua, ka heke iho i te maunga, a ka whiti, ka tae ki a Hohua, tama a Nunu, ka korero ki a ia i nga mea katoa i pono ki a raua.
24 And they said to Joshua that he has given Yahweh in hand our all the land and also they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of us.
A ka mea raua ki a Hohua, Koia ano, kua homai e Ihowa te whenua katoa ki o tatou ringa; a ngohe kau nga tangata katoa o te whenua i a tatou.
