Hohua 6
1 Na he mea tino tutaki a Heriko i te wehi i nga tama a Iharaira; kahore he tangata i haere ki waho, kahore hoki tetahi i haere ki roto.
Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
2 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Titiro, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou ringa a Heriko, me tona kingi, ratou ko nga marohirohi.
The LORD said to Joshua, "Look, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
3 Na taiawhiotia te pa e koutou, e nga tangata hapai patu katoa, me haere a tawhio noa te pa, kia kotahi ano awhiotanga, Kia ono nga ra e pena ai koe.
All your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
4 A kia tokowhitu nga tohunga e mau i nga tetere haona hipi e whitu ki mua i te aaka; a i te whitu o nga ra me taiawhio e koutou te pa, kia whitu nga taiawhiotanga, a me whakatangi e nga tohunga nga tetere.
Seven cohanim shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the cohanim shall blow the trumpets.
5 A, ko roa te tangi o te haona hipi, a ka rangona e koutou te tangi o te tetere, me hamama katoa te iwi, kia nui te hamama; na ka hinga te taiepa o te pa, papa rawa ki raro, a ka piki atu te iwi, tera, tera, i nga wahi e rite mai ana ki a ratou.
It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him."
6 Na ka karanga a Hohua, te tama a Nunu, ki nga tohunga, ka mea ki a ratou, Hapainga te aaka o te kawenata, a ma nga tohunga tokowhitu e mau nga tetere haona hipi e whitu ki mua i te aaka a Ihowa.
Joshua the son of Nun called the cohanim, and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven cohanim bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."
7 A i mea ratou ki te iwi, Haere, taiawhiotia te pa, a ko nga tangata hapai patu e haere i mua i te aaka a Ihowa.
And he said to the people, "Advance. March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD's ark."
8 Heoi, i te korerotanga a Hohua ki te iwi, na ka mau nga tohunga tokowhitu ki nga tetere haona hipi e whitu, a haere ana i mua i a Ihowa, me te whakatangi ano i nga tetere; i haere hoki te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i muri i a ratou.
It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven cohanim bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD advanced, and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
9 A ko nga tangata hapai patu i haere i mua i nga tohunga e whakatangi ana i nga tetere, ko te hiku i haere i muri i te aaka, haere ana nga tohunga me te whakatangi haere i nga tetere.
The armed men went before the cohanim who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
10 A i whakaako a Hohua i te iwi, i mea, Kaua e hamama, kaua o koutou reo e rangona, kei puta hoki tetahi kupu i o koutou waha, a tae noa ki te ra e mea ai ahau ki a koutou, kia hamama; hei reira koutou ka hamama.
Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout."
11 Na meinga ana e ia kia taiawhiotia te pa e te aaka a Ihowa, haere ana a tawhio noa, kotahi ano taiawhiotanga: na ka haere ratou ki te puni, a moe ana ki te puni.
So he caused the ark of the LORD to go around the city, going about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 A ka maranga wawe a Hohua i te ata, a hapainga ake ana e nga tohunga te aaka a Ihowa.
Joshua rose early in the morning, and the cohanim took up the ark of the LORD.
13 I mau ano hoki nga tohunga tokowhitu i nga tetere haona hipi e whitu i mua i te aaka a Ihowa, i haere tonu me te whakatangi haere i nga tetere: a ko nga tangata hapai patu i haere i mua i a ratou; ko te nuinga ia i haere i muri i te aaka a Ihowa: haere ana nga tohunga me te whakatangi ano i nga tetere.
The seven cohanim bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after the ark of the LORD. The trumpets sounded as they went.
14 A i te rua o nga ra i taiawhiotia e ratou te pa, kotahi ano taiawhiotanga, a hoki ana ki te puni: a pera tonu ratou i nga ra e ono.
The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
15 Na i te whitu o nga ra ka maranga wawe ratou i te puaotanga o te ra, ka taiawhio hoki i te pa, e whitu nga taiawhiotanga, ko taua ritenga ra ano; otiia i taua ra e whitu a ratou taiawhiotanga i te pa.
It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. Only on this day they marched around the city seven times.
16 Na i te whitu o nga taiawhiotanga, ka whakatanga nga tohunga i nga tetere, ka mea a Hohua ki te iwi, Hamama; kua homai hoki e Ihowa te pa ki a koutou.
It happened at the seventh time, when the cohanim blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout, for the LORD has given you the city.
17 Hei mea oti atu ano te pa ma Ihowa, a reira me nga mea katoa i roto; ko Rahapa anake, ko te wahine kairau, ko ia kia ora me nga mea katoa i a ia i roto i te whare, mona i huna i nga tangata i tonoa atu e tatou.
The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 Ko koutou ia, kia hopohopo ki te mea kua oti te kanga, kei takina he kanga ki a koutou, ki te tango i tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti te kanga; a ka meinga te ope o Iharaira kia kanga, a whakararua iho e koutou.
But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, so as not to covet and take of the devoted thing and make the camp of Israel accursed, and bring trouble on it.
19 Engari nga hiriwa me nga koura, me nga mea parahi, rino hoki, kia tapu ena ma Ihowa; me riro ena ki roto ki te whare taonga a Ihowa.
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD's treasury."
20 Heoi ka hamama te iwi, a ka whakatangi nga tohunga i nga tetere: na, i te rongonga o te iwi i te tangi o te tetere, ko te tino hamamatanga o te iwi, he nui te hamama, a hinga iho te taiepa, papa rawa ki raro, a piki atu ana te iwi ki roto ki te pa, tera, tera, i te wahi e rite mai ana ki a ia, na horo ana i a ratou te pa.
So the people shouted, and the cohanim blew the trumpets. It happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21 A tino huna rawatia e ratou nga mea katoa i te pa, nga tane, nga wahine, nga taitamariki, nga koroheke, nga kau, nga hipi, nga kaihe, ki te mata o te hoari.
They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
22 A i mea a Hohua ki nga tangata tokorua i tuteia ai te whenua, Haere ki te whare o te wahine kairau, mauria mai hoki i reira te wahine me nga mea katoa i a ia, whakaritea ta korua i oati ai ki a ia.
And Joshua said to the two young men who had spied out the land, "Go into the prostitute's house, and bring out from there the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her."
23 Na ka haere aua taitama, nga tutei, a mauria ana mai e raua a Rahapa, tona papa, tona whaea, ona tungane, me nga mea katoa i a ia, a mauria katoatia mai ana hoki e raua ona whanaunga katoa ki waho; a waiho ana i waho o te puni o Iharaira.
The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
24 Na tahuna ake e ratou te pa ki te ahi, me nga mea katoa i roto: ko te hiriwa anake, me te koura, me nga mea parahi, rino hoki, i hoatu e ratou ki te whare taonga o te whare o Ihowa.
They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of the LORD's house.
25 Otiia ko Rahapa, ko te wahine kairau, ko te nohoanga o tona papa, me nga mea katoa i a ia, i whakaorangia e Hohua; a noho ana ia i waenganui o Iharaira a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, mona i huna i nga tangata i tonoa e Hohua ki te tutei i Heriko.
But Rahab the prostitute, her father's household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Na ka whakaoati a Hohua i a ratou i taua wa, ka mea, Ka kanga te tangata ki te aroaro o Ihowa e whakatika ana, ka hanga i tenei pa, i Heriko: ka whakaturia e ia hei runga i tana matamua, ka whakanohoia ano nga tatau hei runga i tana tama o muri.
Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, "Cursed be the man before the LORD, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."
27 Heoi i a Hohua tonu a Ihowa; a paku ana tona rongo puta noa i te whenua.
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
