< Hohua 4 >

1 A, ka poto katoa te iwi te whiti i Horano, na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Hohua, ka mea,
And it was just when they had finished all the nation to pass over the Jordan. And he said Yahweh to Joshua saying.
2 Tangohia mai e koutou i roto i te iwi kia kotahi tekau ma rua tangata, kia takikotahi tangata o te iwi,
Take for yourselves from the people two [plus] ten men a man one a man one from a tribe.
3 A ka whakahau ki a ratou, ka mea, Tangohia atu i konei, i waenganui o Horano, i te wahi i ata tu ai nga waewae o nga tohunga, kia tekau ma rua nga kohatu, a maua atu, waiho ki te moenga e moe ai koutou a tenei po.
And command them saying take up for yourselves from here from [the] middle of the Jordan from [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests to make firm two [plus] ten stones and you will take over them with you and you will set down them at the lodging place which you will stay at it this night.
4 Na ka karangatia e Hohua nga tangata kotahi tekau ma rua i whakaritea e ia i roto i nga tama a Iharaira, takikotahi te tangata o roto o te iwi:
And he called Joshua to two [plus] the ten man whom he had appointed from [the] people of Israel a man one a man one from a tribe.
5 A ka mea a Hohua ki a ratou, Haere atu i mua i te aaka a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, ki waenganui o Horano, ka hapai ake kia takikotahi te kohatu ma te tangata ki runga ki tona pokohiwi, kia rite ki nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira te maha:
And he said to them Joshua pass over before [the] ark of Yahweh God your into [the] middle of the Jordan and take up for yourselves each a stone one on shoulder his to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel.
6 Kia waiho ai tenei mea hei tohu ki waenganui i a koutou; mo te ui a a koutou tamariki a mua, mo te mea, Hei aha enei kohatu ma koutou?
So that it may be this a sign in midst your if they will ask! children your tomorrow saying what? [are] the stones these to you.
7 Katahi koutou ka mea atu ki a ratou, No te motuhanga i nga wai o Horano i mua i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa; i tona whitinga mai i Horano i motuhia nga wai o Horano: a ko enei kohatu hei whakamahara mo nga tama a Iharaira a ake ake.
And you will say to them that they were cut off [the] waters of the Jordan from before [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh when passed on it in the Jordan they were cut off [the] waters of the Jordan and they will become the stones these a reminder to [the] people of Israel until perpetuity.
8 A peratia ana e nga tama a Iharaira me ta Hohua i whakahau ai, hapainga ake ana e ratou nga kohatu kotahi tekau ma rua i waenganui o Horano, peratia ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a Hohua, he mea rite ki nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira te maha; a m auria ana ki to ratou puni, waiho ana i reira.
And they did thus [the] people of Israel just as he had commanded Joshua and they took up two [plus] ten stones from [the] middle of the Jordan just as he had said Yahweh to Joshua to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel and they took over them with them to the lodging place and they set down them there.
9 A i whakaturia e Hohua etahi kohatu kotahi tekau ma rua ki waenganui o Horano, ki te wahi i tu ai nga waewae o nga tohunga i amo i te aaka o te kawenata: kei reira ano aua kohatu a mohoa noa nei.
And two [plus] ten stones he set up Joshua in [the] middle of the Jordan in [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the covenant and they have been there until the day this.
10 Heoi, tu ana tera nga tohunga i amo i te aaka i waenganui o Horano a oti noa nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Ihowa ki a Hohua kia korerotia ki te iwi, i rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Mohi ki a Hohua; a i hohoro tonu te iwi te whiti.
And the priests [the] bearers of the ark [were] standing in [the] middle of the Jordan until was finished every thing which he had commanded Yahweh Joshua to speak to the people according to all that he had commanded Moses Joshua and they hurried the people and they passed over.
11 A, ka tapeke katoa te iwi te whiti, na ka whiti te aaka a Ihowa, me nga tohunga i te tirohanga a te iwi.
And it was just when it had finished all the people to pass over and it passed over [the] ark of Yahweh and the priests before the people.
12 Ko nga tama a Reupena, ko nga tama a Kara, me tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi i whiti topuni atu i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira, i pera me ta Mohi i korero ai ki a ratou;
And they passed over [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad and [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh arrayed for battle before [the] people of Israel just as he had spoken to them Moses.
13 Kei te wha tekau nga mano, he hunga tumatohi tonu mo te riri, i haere i te aroaro o Ihowa ki nga mania o Heriko ki te whawhai.
About forty thousand armed [men] of war they passed over before Yahweh for battle to [the] plains of Jericho.
14 No taua ra i whakanui ai a Ihowa i a Hohua i te aroaro o Iharaira katoa; a wehi ana ratou i a ia, pera ana me ratou i wehi i a Mohi, i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
On the day that he made great Yahweh Joshua in [the] eyes of all Israel and they feared him just as they had feared Moses all [the] days of life his.
15 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Hohua, i mea,
And he said Yahweh to Joshua saying.
16 Ki atu ki nga tohunga e amo ana i te aaka o te whakaaturanga, kia haere ake i roto i Horano.
Command the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the testimony so they may come up from the Jordan.
17 Na ka mea atu a hohua ki nga tohunga, Haere ake i roto i Horano.
And he commanded Joshua the priests saying come up from the Jordan.
18 A, no te haerenga ake o nga tohunga i amo i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i waenganui o Horano, a ka mahuta ake nga kapu o nga waewae o nga tohunga ki te wahi maroke, ko te tino hokinga o te wai o Horano ki tona wahi ano, a huri tonu ake ki rung a i ona pareparenga, pera ana me to mua.
And it was (just as came up *Q(K)*) the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh from [the] middle of the Jordan they were drawn out [the] soles of [the] feet of the priests to the dry ground and they returned [the] waters of the Jordan to place their and they went as yesterday three days ago over all banks its.
19 No te tekau o nga ra o te marama tuatahi te iwi i haere ake ai i Horano, a noho ana i Kirikara i te taha ki te rawhiti o Heriko.
And the people they went up from the Jordan on the ten of the month first and they encamped at Gilgal on [the] edge of [the] east of Jericho.
20 A, ko aua kohatu kotahi tekau ma rua i tangohia, ake e ratou i roto i Horano, na Hohua i whakatu ki Kirikara.
And two [plus] ten the stones these which they had taken from the Jordan he set up Joshua at Gilgal.
21 A, i korero ia ki nga tama a Iharaira, i mea, E ui a koutou tamariki a mua ki o ratou matua, e mea, He aha enei kohatu?
And he said to [the] people of Israel saying that they will ask! children your tomorrow fathers their saying what? [are] the stones these.
22 Na me whakaatu ki a koutou tama, me ki atu, I whiti maroke mai a Iharaira i tenei Horano.
And you will make known to children your saying on the dry ground it passed over Israel the Jordan this.
23 Na Ihowa hoki, na to koutou Atua i whakamaroke nga wai o Horano i mua i a koutou, a whiti noa koutou, rite tahi ki ta Ihowa, ki ta to koutou Atua i mea ai ki te Moana Whero, i whakamaroketia ra e ia i mua hoki i a tatou, a whiti noa mai tatou:
That he dried up Yahweh God your [the] waters of the Jordan from before you until had passed over you just as he did Yahweh God your to [the] sea of reed[s] which he dried up from before us until had passed over we.
24 Kia mohio ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua ki te ringa o Ihowa, he kaha; kia wehi ai ratou i a Ihowa, i to koutou Atua, i nga ra katoa.
So as to know all [the] peoples of the earth [the] hand of Yahweh that [is] mighty it so that you may fear Yahweh God your all the days.
