< Judges 2 >

1 And he went up [the] angel of Yahweh from Gilgal to Bokim. And he said I brought up you from Egypt and I brought you into the land which I swore to ancestors your and I said not I will break covenant my with you for ever.
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 you not you must make a covenant to [the] inhabitants of the land this altars their you will pull down! and not you have listened to voice my what? this have you 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 also I say not I will drive out them from before you and they will become for you sides and gods their they will become for you a snare.
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 was when spoke [the] angel of Yahweh the words these to all [the] people of Israel and they lifted up the people voice their and they wept.
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 called [the] name of the place that Bokim and they sacrificed there to Yahweh.
Pea naʻa nau ui hono hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia ko Pokimi: pea naʻa nau fai ʻi ai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova.
6 And he sent away Joshua the people and they went [the] people of Israel everyone to own inheritance his to take possession of 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 they served the people Yahweh all [the] days of Joshua and all - [the] days of the old [men] who they made long days after Joshua who they had seen all [the] work of Yahweh great which he had done for 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 he died Joshua [the] son of Nun [the] servant of Yahweh a son of a 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 people buried him in [the] territory of inheritance his in Timnath Heres in [the] hill country of Ephraim from [the] north of [the] mountain of 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 also all the generation that they gathered to ancestors its and it arose a generation another after them which not they knew Yahweh and also the work which he had done for 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 they did [the] people of Israel the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and they served the Baals.
Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa [nau ]tauhi ʻa Peali:
12 And they forsook Yahweh - [the] God of ancestors their who brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and they went after - gods other some of [the] gods of the peoples which [were] around them and they bowed down to them and they provoked to anger Yahweh.
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 And they forsook Yahweh and they served the Baal and the Ashtaroth.
Pea naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa Sihova, ʻo tauhi ʻa Peali mo ʻAsitelote.
14 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he gave them in [the] hand of plunderers and they plundered them and he sold them in [the] hand of enemies their from round about and not they were able still to stand before enemies their.
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 - where they went out [the] hand of Yahweh it was on them for harm just as he had spoken Yahweh and just as he had sworn Yahweh to them and it was distress to them exceedingly.
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 he raised up Yahweh judges and they delivered them from [the] hand of plunderers their.
Ka neongo ia naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻe Sihova ʻae kau fakamaau, ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻokinautolu naʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu.
17 And also to judges their not they listened for they acted as prostitutes after gods other and they bowed down to them they turned aside quickly from the way which they had walked fathers their to obey [the] commandments of Yahweh not they did 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 if he raised up Yahweh - for them judges and he was Yahweh with the judge and he delivered them from [the] hand of enemies their all [the] days of the judge for he had compassion Yahweh from groaning their because of [those who] oppressed them and [those who] oppressed them.
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 was - when died the judge they turned back and they acted corruptly more than fathers their by walking after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them not they let drop any of deeds their and any of way their stubborn.
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 it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he said because that they have transgressed the nation this covenant my which I commanded ancestors their and not they have listened to voice my.
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 Also I not I will increase to dispossess anyone from before them any of the nations which he left Joshua and he died.
Ngata mei heni, ʻe ʻikai te u kapusi mei honau ʻao ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga naʻe tuku ʻe Siosiua ʻi heʻene pekia;
22 So as to put to [the] test by them Israel ¿ [be] keeping [will] they [the] way of Yahweh by walking in them just as they kept [it] ancestors their 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 he left Yahweh the nations these to not to dispossess them quickly and not he gave them in [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.
