< Hohua 10 >

1 A, ka rongo a Aronitereke, te kingi o Hiruharama, kua horo a Hai i a Hohua, a kua whakangaromia hoki e ia; a ko tana i mea ai ki Heriko, ki tona kingi, ko tana hoki tera i mea ai ki Hai, ki tona kingi; a kua houhia e nga tangata o Kipeono te rong o ki a Iharaira, kua noho hoki ki waenganui i a ratou;
Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them;
2 Na tino wehi ana ratou; no te mea he pa nui a Kipeono, pera me tetahi o nga pa rangatira, he nui atu hoki i Hai, a ko ona tangata katoa he toa.
He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war.
3 Na ka tono tangata a Aronitereke kingi o Hiruharama ki a Hohama kingi o Heperona, ki a Pirama kingi o Iaramuta, ki a Tapia kingi o Rakihi, ratou ko Repiri kingi o Ekerona, ka mea,
So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
4 Haere mai ki ahau, hei awhina moku, kia patua ai e tatou a Kipeono, mo ratou i hohou i te rongo ki a Hohua ratou ko nga tama a Iharaira.
Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.
5 Na huihui ana, haere mai ana nga kingi tokorima o nga Amori, te kingi o Hiruharama, te kingi o Heperona, te kingi o Iaramuta, te kingi o Rakihi, te kingi o Ekerona, ratou ko a ratou taua katoa, a whakapae ana i Kipeono, tatau ana i reira.
So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it.
6 Na ka tono tangata nga tangata o Kipeono ki a Hohua ki te puni, ki Kirikara, ka mea, Kei puhoi mai tou ringa ki au pononga; hohoro te haere mai ki a matou, ki te whakaora i a matou, awhinatia mai hoki matou; no te mea kua rupeke mai nga kingi kat oa o nga Amori e noho ana i nga maunga ki a matou.
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.
7 Na haere atu ana a Hohua i Kirikara, ratou tahi ko te hunga hapai patu katoa, me nga tangata maia katoa.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.
8 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Kaua e wehi i a ratou: kua hoatu hoki ratou e ahau ki tou ringa, a e kore tetahi tangata o ratou e tu ki tou aroaro.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before you.
9 Na huakina tatatia ana ratou e Hohua; i haere ake hoki ia i Kirikara i te po.
So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them.
10 Na meinga ana ratou e Ihowa kia pororaru i mua i a Iharaira, a patua ana ratou e ia ki Kipeono, he nui te parekura, a whaia ana ratou e ia i te huarahi e haere ana ki runga ki Petehorono, na tukitukia ana ratou a tae noa ki Ateka, a Makera atu a na.
And the Lord made them full of fear before Israel, and they put great numbers of them to death at Gibeon, and went after them by the way going up to Beth-horon, driving them back to Azekah and Makkedah
11 A, i a ratou e rere ana i te aroaro o Iharaira, i te hekenga iho ki Petehorono, na ka maka iho e Ihowa he kohatu nunui i te rangi ki runga ki a ratou a tae noa ki Ateka, na mate ana ratou: hira ake nga tangata i mate i nga nganga kohatu i nga me a i patua e nga tama a Iharaira ki te hoari.
And in their flight before Israel, on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword.
12 Katahi ka korero a Hohua ki a Ihowa i te ra i homai ai e Ihowa nga Amori ki te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira, ka mea hoki i te tirohanga mai o Iharaira, Kati mai koe, e te ra, i runga i Kipeono; me koe hoki, e te marama, ki te raorao o Atarono.
It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.
13 Na mau tonu mai te ra, tu tonu mai hoki te marama, a whiwhi noa te iwi ki te utu i o ratou hoariri. Kahore ianei tenei mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Tahera? Tu ana tera te komaru i waenganui o te rangi, kahore ano hoki i hohoro te heke a rite noa tetahi ra tuturu.
And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day.
14 Na kahore he rite mo taua ra i mua atu, i muri mai ranei, i rongo ai a Ihowa ki te reo tangata: i whawhai hoki a Ihowa mo Iharaira.
And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting for Israel.
15 Na hoki ana a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa ki te puni, ki Kirikara.
And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.
16 Ko aua kingi tokorima ia i rere, a piri ana ki roto ki tetahi ana i Makera.
But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
17 A ka korerotia ki a Hohua, i meatia, Kua kitea nga kingi tokorima, kei te ana i Makera e piri ana.
And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
18 Na ka mea a Hohua, Hurihia atu etahi kohatu nunui ki te kuwaha o te ana, whakanohoia hoki etahi tangata ki reira hei tiaki i a ratou.
And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:
19 Ko koutou ia kaua hei tu; whaia o koutou hoariri, patua te hiku o ratou; kaua hoki ratou e tukua kia tapoko ki roto ki o ratou pa: he mea hoki kua homai ratou e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, ki to koutou ringa.
But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.
20 A, no ka mutu i a Hohua ratou ko nga tama a Iharaira te patu i a ratou, he nui rawa te parekura a poto noa ratou, ko nga morehu o ratou i toe i riro ki roto ki nga pa whai taiepa,
Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,
21 Na hoki marie ana te iwi katoa ki a Hohua, ki te puni, ki Makera: kihai rawa hoki i oraora te arero o tetahi tangata ki tetahi o nga tama a Iharaira.
All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.
22 Katahi ka mea a Hohua, Uakina te kuwaha o te ana, whakaputaina mai hoki ki ahau i te ana nga kingi tokorima na.
Then Joshua said, Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock, and make those five kings come out to me.
23 Na peratia ana e ratou, whakaputaina mai ana e ratou ki a ia i te ana aua kingi tokorima, te kingi o Hiruharama, te kingi o Heperona, te kingi o Iaramuta, te kingi o Rakihi, me te kingi o Ekerona.
And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
24 A, ka oti aua kingi te whakaputa mai e ratou ki a Hohua, ka karanga a Hohua ki nga tangata katoa o Iharaira, a ka mea ki nga rangatira o nga tangata hapai patu i haere tahi me ia, Whakatata mai, e tu o koutou waewae ki runga ki nga kaki o enei k ingi. Na whakatata ana mai ratou, tu ana o ratou waewae ki runga ki o ratou kaki.
And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.
25 I mea ano a Hohua ki a ratou, Kaua koutou e wehi, kaua hoki e pawera, kia kaha, kia toa: no te mea ka peneitia e Ihowa o koutou hoariri katoa e whawhai nei koutou ki a ratou.
And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war.
26 A muri iho ka patua ratou e Hohua, ka whakamatea, a whakairihia ake ratou ki runga ki nga rakau e rima: na iri ana ratou i runga i nga rakau a ahiahi noa.
Then Joshua had them put to death, hanging them on five trees, where they were till evening.
27 Na i te wa o te tonga o te ra ka whakahaua e Hohua kia tangohia ki raro o nga rakau, kia maka hoki ki roto ki te ana i piri ai ratou, kia whakatakotoria hoki etahi kohatu nunui ki te kuwaha o te ana; e takoto mai nei a taea noatia tenei ra.
And when the sun went down, they were taken down from the trees, by Joshua's orders, and put into the hole where they had gone to be safe; and great stones were placed at the mouth of the hole, where they are to this day.
28 A horo ana i a Hohua a Makera i taua rangi ano, patua iho ana hoki e ia ki te mata o te hoari, me tona kingi ano; i whakangaromia rawatia ratou e ia me nga wairua katoa i roto, kahore he morehu i mahue i a ia: a peratia ana e ia te kingi o Maker a me tana i mea ai ki te kingi o Heriko.
That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Na haere atu ana a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa i Makera ki Ripina, a tauria ana e ia a Ripina:
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;
30 A i homai ano e Ihowa a reira, me tona kingi, ki te ringa o Iharaira; na patua iho e ia a reira ki te mata o te hoari, me nga tangata katoa i roto; kihai i mahue i a ia tetahi morehu i reira; heoi peratia ana e ia te kingi o reira me tana i mea ai ki te kingi o Heriko.
And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Na haere atu ana a Hohua i Ripina, ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa, ki Rakihi, a whakapaea ana a reira, tauria ana e ia:
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on it,
32 A i homai e Ihowa a Rakihi ki te ringa o Iharaira, a horo ana a reira i a ia i te rua o nga ra; patua iho hoki ki te mata o te hoari, me nga tangata katoa i roto; i rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki Ripina.
And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah.
33 I reira ano ka haere mai a Horama kingi o Ketere hei awhina mo Rakihi; a patua iho ia me tona iwi e Hohua, a kahore rawa tetahi morehu ona i toe.
Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to the help of Lachish; and Joshua overcame him and his people, putting all of them to death.
34 Na ka haere atu a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa i Rakihi ki Ekerona; a whakapaea ana a reira e ratou, tauria ana:
And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on it;
35 Na horo ana a reira i a ratou i taua rangi ano, patua ana hoki ki te mata o te hoari, ko nga tangata katoa i roto huna iho e ia i taua rangi ano, rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki Rakihi.
And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, as he had done to Lachish.
36 Na haere atu ana a Hohua i Ekerona, me Iharaira katoa ano hoki ki Heperona, a tauria ana a reira e ia.
And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it;
37 A horo ana i a ratou a reira, patua iho hoki ki te mata o te hoari, me tona kingi, me ona pa katoa, me nga tangata katoa i roto; kahore tetahi morehu i mahue i a ia, rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki Ekerona; na huna iho e ia a reira, me nga tangata katoa i roto.
And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it.
38 Katahi ka hoki a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa ki Repiri; ka tatau hoki ki reira.
And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir;
39 A riro ana i a ia a reira me tona kingi, me ona pa katoa; a patua iho e ratou ki te mata o te hoari, whakangaromia katoatia ana hoki nga tangata i roto; kahore tetahi morehu i mahue i a ia: ko tana i mea ai ki Heperona i meatia ano e ia ki Repir i, ki tona kingi; i pera ano me tana i mea ai ki Ripina, ki tona kingi.
And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king.
40 Na patua ana e Hohua te whenua katoa, te whenua pukepuke, te tonga, te mania me nga pukenga wai, me nga kingi katoa hoki o reira; kahore i waiho e ia tetahi morehu: engari i huna katoatia e ia nga mea whai manawa, i rite tonu ki ta Ihowa, ki ta te Atua o Iharaira, i whakahau ai.
So Joshua overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.
41 Na patua ana ratou e Hohua i Kareheparenea a tae noa ki Kaha, me te whenua katoa hoki o Kohena a tae noa ki Kipeono.
Joshua overcame them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
42 Ko enei kingi katoa me to ratou oneone i riro i a Hohua i te whakaekenga kotahi, no te mea i roto i a Iharaira a Ihowa e whawhai atu ana.
And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.
43 Na hoki ana a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa ki te puni, ki Kirikara.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal.
