< Joshua 7 >

1 And the sons of Israel commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, taketh of the devoted thing, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against the sons of Israel.
Otiia i taka nga tama a Iharaira ki te kino i te mea kua oti te kanga: he tangohanga na Akana tama a Karami, tama a Taperi, tama a Tera, o te iwi o Hura, i tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti te kanga; a mura iho te riri o Ihowa ki nga tama a Iharaira.
2 And Joshua sendeth men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] near Beth-Aven, on the east of Bethel, and speaketh unto them, saying, 'Go up and spy the land;' and the men go up and spy Ai,
Na ka tonoa atu e Hohua etahi tangata i Heriko ki Hai, ki te taha o Peteawene, i te taha ki te rawhiti o Peteere, ka korero hoki ki a ratou, ka mea, Haere ki runga ki te titiro i te whenua. Na ka haere aua tangata, ka titiro i Hai.
3 and they turn back unto Joshua, and say unto him, 'Let not all the people go up; let about two thousand men, or about three thousand men, go up, and they smite Ai; cause not all the people to labour thither; for they [are] few.'
A ka hoki mai ratou ki a Hohua, ka mea ki a ia, Kaua e haere katoa te iwi ki runga; engari kia rua, kia toru ranei mano o nga tangata e haere ki runga ki te patu i Hai; kaua hei whakangenge kau atu i te iwi ki reira; he tokoouou hoki ratou.
4 And there go up of the people thither about three thousand men, and they flee before the men of Ai,
Heoi haere ana ki reira etahi o te iwi, me te mea e toru mano: na rere ana ratou i te aroaro o nga tangata o Hai.
5 and the men of Ai smite of them about thirty and six men, and pursue them before the gate unto Shebarim, and they smite them in Morad; and the heart of the people is melted, and becometh water.
A tukitukia iho o ratou e nga tangata o Hai me te mea e toru tekau ma ono tangata; i whaia hoki ratou i mua i te kuwaha a tae noa ki Heparimi, na patupatua ana ratou i te heketanga: a ngohe kau te ngakau o te iwi, koia ano kei te wai.
6 And Joshua rendeth his garments, and falleth on his face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah till the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they cause dust to go up on their head.
Na ka haehae a Hohua i ona kakahu, ka tapapa ki te whenua, ki mua o te aaka a Ihowa a ahiahi noa, a ia me nga kaumatua o Iharaira; a opehia ana e ratou he puehu ki o ratou upoko.
7 And Joshua saith, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, why hast Thou at all caused this people to pass over the Jordan, to give us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? — and oh that we had been willing — and we dwell beyond the Jordan!
Na ka mea a Hohua, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, na te aha rawa ra koe i anga ai ki te whakawhiti mai i tenei iwi i Horano, i hoatu ai matou ki te ringa o nga Amori, kia huna ai matou? Aue, me i aro matou ki te noho atu i tera taha o Horano!
8 Oh, Lord, what do I say, after that Israel hath turned the neck before its enemies?
E te Ariki, me pehea ra he kupu maku, kua parea atu nei e Iharaira o ratou tuara i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri?
9 and the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land do hear, and have come round against us, and cut off our name out of the earth; and what dost Thou do for Thy great name?'
Na te mea ka rongo nga Kanaani me nga tangata katoa o te whenua, na ka karapotia matou, ka huna hoki o matou ingoa i te whenua: a ka pehea koe ki tou ingoa nui?
10 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'Rise for thee, why [is] this? — thou [art] falling on thy face?
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Whakatika; he aha tau e takoto tapapa na?
11 Israel hath sinned, and also they have transgressed My covenant which I commanded them, and also taken of the devoted thing, and also stolen, and also deceived, and also put [it] among their vessels,
Kua hara a Iharaira; ae, kua takahi ratou i taku kawenata i whakarite ai ahau ki a ratou: ae, kua tangohia nei e ratou tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti te kanga, me te tahae, me te teka ano ratou, a whaowhina ana e ratou ki roto ki a ratou mea.
12 and the sons of Israel have not been able to stand before their enemies; the neck they turn before their enemies, for they have become a devoted thing; I add not to be with you — if ye destroy not the devoted thing out of your midst.
Na reira nga tama a Iharaira te ahei ai te tu i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, na hurihia ana o ratou tuara i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, kua kanga hoki ratou: e kore ahau e haere i a koutou a muri atu, ki te kahore koutou e whakangaro i te mea k anga i roto i a koutou.
13 'Rise, sanctify the people, and thou hast said, Sanctify yourselves for to-morrow; for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, A devoted thing [is] in thy midst, O Israel, thou art not able to stand before thine enemies till your turning aside of the devoted thing out of your midst;
Whakatika, whakatapua te iwi, mea atu, whakatapu i a koutou mo apopo: ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Kei roto i a koe, e Iharaira, te mea kanga: e kore koe e kaha ki te tu ki te aroaro o ou hoariri, kia tangohia atu ra ano e koutou te mea kanga i roto i a koutou.
14 and ye have been brought near in the morning by your tribes, and it hath been, the tribe which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by families, and the family which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by households, and the household which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by men;
Na i te ata me whakatata mai koutou, ara o koutou iwi; a tera ko te iwi e tango ai a Ihowa me whakatata mai a hapu; a ko te hapu e tango ai a Ihowa me whakatata a whare mai; a ko te whare e tango ai a Ihowa me whakatata mai ia tangata, ia tangat a.
15 and it hath been, he who is captured with the devoted thing is burnt with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath done folly in Israel.'
A, ko te tangata e hopukia kei a ia te mea kanga, me tahu ki te ahi, a ia me ana mea katoa: mona i takahi i te kawenata a Ihowa, i mahi poauau hoki i roto i a Iharaira.
16 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and bringeth Israel near by its tribes, and the tribe of Judah is captured;
Na ka maranga wawe a Hohua i te ata, a whakatataia mai ana e ia a Iharaira, ara ona iwi; na ka mau ko te iwi o Hura.
17 and he bringeth near the family of Judah, and he captureth the family of the Zarhite; and he bringeth near the family of the Zarhite by men, and Zabdi is captured;
Na ka arahina mai e ia te hapu o Hura: a ka mau te hapu o nga Terahi: na ka arahina mai e ia te hapu o nga Terahi, tenei tangata, tenei tangata; a ka mau ko Taperi:
18 and he bringeth near his household by men, and Achan — son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah — is captured.
Na ka arahi ia i tona whare, i tenei tangata, i tenei tangata; a ka mau ko Akana tama a Karami, tama a Taperi, tama a Tera, no te iwi o Hura.
19 And Joshua saith unto Achan, 'My son, put, I pray thee, honour on Jehovah, God of Israel, and give to Him thanks, and declare, I pray thee, to me, what thou hast done — hide not from me.'
Katahi a Hohua ka mea ki a Akana, E taku tama, whakakororiatia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, a whakina ki a ia, whakaaturia mai hoki ki ahau, i aha koe; kaua e huna i ahau.
20 And Achan answereth Joshua, and saith, 'Truly I have sinned against Jehovah, God of Israel, and thus and thus I have done;
Na ka whakautua e Akana ki a Hohua, ka mea, He pono i hara ahau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira, a tenei taku i mea ai:
21 and I see among the spoil a goodly robe of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and one wedge of gold, whose weight [is] fifty shekels, and I desire them, and take them; and lo, they [are] hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.'
I taku kitenga i tetahi koroka whakapaipai no Papurona i roto i nga taonga, i nga hekere hiriwa e rua rau, i tetahi poro koura, e rima tekau hekere tona taimaha, na ka minamina ahau, ka tango; a tera kei te whenua i waenganui o toku teneti e hun a ana, me te hiriwa hoki kei raro iho.
22 And Joshua sendeth messengers, and they run unto the tent, and lo, it is hidden in his tent, and the silver under it;
Na ka tonoa atu e Hohua etahi tangata, a ko to ratou rerenga atu ki te teneti; na ko taua mea e huna ana i roto i tona teneti, me te hiriwa i raro iho.
23 and they take them out of the midst of the tent, and bring them in unto Joshua, and unto all the sons of Israel, and pour them out before Jehovah.
Na tangohia ana e ratou aua mea i waenganui o te teneti, a mauria ana ki a Hohua ratou ko nga tama katoa a Iharaira, a whakatakotoria ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
24 And Joshua taketh Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, and the robe, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his flock, and his tent, and all that he hath, and all Israel with him, and they cause them to go up the valley of Achor.
Na ka tango a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa i a Akana tama a Tera, i te hiriwa, i te koroka, i te poro koura, i ana tama, i ana tamahine, i ana kau, i ana kaihe, i ana hipi, i tona teneti, i nga mea katoa hoki i a ia, a kawea ana ratou ki t e raorao o Akoro.
25 And Joshua saith, 'What! thou hast troubled us! — Jehovah doth trouble thee this day;' and all Israel cast stones at him, and they burn them with fire, and they stone them with stones,
Na ka mea a Hohua, Na te aha koe i whakararu ai i a tatou? ka whakararu hoki a Ihowa i a koe i tenei ra. Na akina ana ia e Iharaira katoa ki te kamaka, a tahuna ana ki te ahi i muri iho i ta ratou akinga i a ratou ki te kamaka.
26 and they raise up over him a great heap of stones unto this day, and Jehovah turneth back from the heat of His anger, therefore hath [one] called the name of that place 'Valley of Achor' till this day.
A whakapurangatia ana e ratou etahi kohatu ki runga i a ia, he nui te ra. Katahi ka tahuri a Ihowa i te muranga o tona riri. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi, Ko te raorao o Akoro a mohoa noa nei.
