Iosua 2
1 HOOUNA aku la o Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna i na kanaka elua, mai Sitima aku e kiu malu, i ae la, Ou haele e makai i ka aina ia Ieriko. Hele aku laua a komo iloko o ka hale o kekahi wahine hookamakama, o Rahaba kona inoa, a moe iho la laua malaila.
And Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two young men out of Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, and Jericho." And the two young men went and came to Jericho and entered into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.
2 Ua haiia'ku la i ke alii o Ieriko, i ka i ana aku, Aia hoi, ua hele mai nei i ka po, kekahi mau kanaka, no na mamo a Iseraela e makai i ka aina.
The king of Jericho was told, "Look, men of the children of Israel came in here to spy out the land."
3 Hoouna aku la ke alii o Ieriko, i aku la ia Rahaba, E lawe mai oe iwaho i ua mau kanaka la i hele mai iou la, a i komo iloko o kou hale; no ka mea, ua hele mai laua e makai i ka aina a pau.
The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who came to you tonight; for they have come to spy out all the land."
4 Lawe ae la ka wahine i ua mau kanaka la elua, huna iho la ia laua a olelo aku la penei, Hele mai la kekahi mau kanaka io'u nei, aole hoi au i ike i kahi a laua i hele mai ai:
The woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they came from.
5 A i ke pani ana o ka puka i ka poeleele, hele aku la ua mau kanaka la iwaho. Aole au i ike i ko laua wahi i hele ai. E hahai koke aku ia laua, a e loaa no.
It happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went, I do not know. Pursue them quickly; for you will overtake them."
6 Aka, ua lawe ae la ia ia laua maluna o ka hale, a huna iho la ia laua malalo iho o kahi olona ana i hoonohonoho ai, ma ia wahi maluna.
But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.
7 Hahai aku la na kanaka ia laua ma ke ala e hiki aku ai i Ioredane, a hiki i ke ahua. A puka aku la ka poe hahai iwaho, alaila, paniia iho la ka puka.
The men pursued them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
8 Mamua o ko laua moe ana, pii aku la ua wahine nei io laua la maluna o ka hale;
Before they had lain down, she came up to them on the roof;
9 I aku la ia i ua mau kanaka la, Ua ike no wau, ua haawi mai o Iehova i ka aina no oukou, a ua kau mai ka weliweli ia oukou maluna o makou, a ua maule ka poe a pau e noho nei ma keia aina ia oukou.
and she said to the men, "I know that YHWH has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
10 No ka mea, ua lohe makou i ko Iehova hoomaloo ana i ka wai o ke Kaiula imua o oukou, i ka wa i puka mai ai oukou mailoko mai o Aigupita; a me ka mea a oukou i hana aku ai i na'lii elua o ka Amora ma kela aoao o Ioredane, ia Sihona, laua o Oga, i na mea a oukou i anai loa ai.
For we have heard how YHWH dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
11 A lohe makou, maule iho la ko makou mau naau, aole i koe ke aho iloko o kekahi kanaka imua o oukou; no ka mea, o Iehova, ko oukou Akua, oia ke Akua maluna, ma ka lani, a malalo hoi ma ka honua.
As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for YHWH your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
12 Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia olua, e hoohiki olua ia Iehova no'u, no ka'u hana lokomaikai ana'ku ia olua, e hana lokomaikai mai no hoi olua ia'u, a me ka poe o ko'u makuakane, a e haawi mai hoi olua i hoailona oiaio;
Now therefore, please swear to me by YHWH, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a true token;
13 A e hoola oukou i ko'u makuakane a me ko'u makuwahine, a me ko'u poe kaikunane, a me na kaikaina o'u a me ko lakou mea a pau, a e hoopakele mai ia makou i ka make.
and that you will save alive my father, my mother, my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death."
14 I mai la ua mau kanaka la ia ia, E lilo no ko maua ola no kou, ke hai ole oe i keia hana a maua. A i ka wa e haawi mai ai o Iehova i ka aina no makou, alaila, e hana lokomaikai aku maua ia oe, me ka oiaio.
The men said to her, "Our life for yours, even to death, if you do not talk about this business of ours; and it shall be, when YHWH gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."
15 Alaila, ma ke kaula oia i kuu iho ai ia laua ilalo, ma ka puka makani; no ka mea, aia kona hale maluna o ka pa, a noho no oia ma ka pa.
Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on the wall.
16 I aku la ia ia laua, E hele olua i ka mauna, o loaa olua i ka poe hahai; a e pee malaila, i ekolu mau la, a hoi mai ka poe hahai; alaila, o hele olua i ko olua wahi e hele ai.
She said to them, "Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers find you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward, you may go your way."
17 I mai la ua mau kanaka la ia ia, Aole loa maua e lawehala i ka hoohiki ana a maua i hoohiki ai nou.
The men said to her, "We will be guiltless of this your oath which you have made us to swear.
18 A hiki makou i keia aina, alaila, e hikii oe ma ka puka i keia kaula ulaula au i hookuu iho ai ia maua ilalo; a e hoakoakoa mai oe, ma kou hale, i kou makuakane a me kou makuwahine, a me kou poe kaikunane a me ka poe a pau o kou makuakane.
Look, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you did let us down by. You shall gather to yourself into the house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household.
19 A o ka mea puka mawaho o ka puka o kou hale ma ke alanui, aia no kona koko maluna o kona poo iho, a e hala ole maua; a o na mea ma ou nei, maloko o ka hale, eia no kona koko maluna o ko maua poo, ke kau ka lima maluna ona.
It shall be that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, and we will be guiltless. Whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is on him.
20 A ina e hai oe i keia hana a maua, alaila, aole maua e lawehala i ka hoohiki ana a maua i hoohiki ai nou.
But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear."
21 I aku la keia, E like me ka olua olelo, pela no. Kuu iho la oia ia laua, a hele aku la laua; a hikii iho la ia i ke kaula ula ma ka puka.
She said, "According to your words, so be it." She sent them away, and they departed. She tied the scarlet line in the window.
22 Hele aku la laua a hiki i ka mauna, a noho iho la ilaila i na la ekolu, a hoi mai ka poe hahai. Ua imi aku la ka poe hahai ia laua, ma ke ala a pau, aole hoi i loaa.
They went, and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned. The pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but did not find them.
23 A hoi mai la ua mau kanaka la elua, e iho ana mai ka mauna mai, hele ae la laua, a hiki aku la io Iosua la, i ke keiki a Nuna, a hai aku la ia ia i na mea a pau i loaa ia lana:
Then the two men returned, descended from the mountain, passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had happened to them.
24 Olelo aku la laua ia Iosua, Ua haawi io mai no o Iehova i ka aina a pau i ko kakou lima; no ka mea, ua maule hoi ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ia aina, no kakou.
They said to Joshua, "Truly YHWH has delivered into our hands all the land. Moreover, all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us."
