Hohua 8
1 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Kaua e mataku, kaua e pawera: tangohia ki a koe te hunga hapai patu katoa, a whakatika, haere ki runga, ki Hai: titiro hoki, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou ringa te kingi o Hai, tona iwi, tona pa, me tona whenua:
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed. Take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land.
2 A kia rite tau e mea ai ki Hai, ki tona kingi hoki, ki tau i mea ai ki Heriko, ki tona kingi: ko ona taonga ia, me ona kararehe, me tango ma koutou: whakatakotoria he pehipehi mo te pa ki tera pito.
And thou shall do to Ai and its king as thou did to Jericho and its king. Only the spoil of it, and the cattle of it, ye shall take for a prey to yourselves. Set thee an ambush for the city behind it.
3 Na ko te whakatikanga o Hohua me te hunga hapai patu katoa ki te whakaeke i Hai: a whiriwhiria ana e Hohua e toru tekau mano o nga tangata, he marohirohi, a tonoa atu ana ratou e ia i te po.
So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. And Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them forth by night.
4 I whakahau ano ia i a ratou, i mea, Kia mahara, me whakatakoto he pehipehi mo te pa ki tera pito o te pa: kei matara rawa atu i te pa, engari kia tumatohi koutou katoa;
And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready,
5 A maku, ma te hunga katoa hoki i ahau, e whakatata ki te pa: a ka puta mai ratou ki te tu i a matou, ka pera me to mua, na ka rere matou i to ratou aroaro;
and I, and all the people that are with me, will approach to the city. And it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.
6 Na ka puta mai ratou ka whai i a matou, a ka manukawhakitia e matou i roto i te pa; tera hoki ratou e mea, E rere ana ratou i o tatou aroaro, pera ano me to mua. A ka rere matou i to ratou aroaro;
And they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first. So we will flee before them.
7 Hei reira koutou whakatika ai i te pehipehi, a ka tomo i te pa; ma Ihowa hoki, ma to koutou Atua e tuku ki o koutou ringa.
And ye shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city, for Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.
8 Na, ka riro te pa i a koutou, tahuna te pa ki te ahi: peratia me ta Ihowa i ki ai. Kia mahara, kua whakaritea atu nei e ahau ki a koutou.
And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire. According to the word of Jehovah shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
9 Na tonoa ana ratou e Hohua: a haere ana ratou ki te whakatakoto pehipehi, a noho ana i waenganui o Peteere, o Hai, ki te taha ki te hauauru o Hai: ko Hohua ia i moe i waenganui o te iwi i taua po.
And Joshua sent them forth, and they went to the ambushment, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai, but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
10 Na ka maranga wawe a Hohua i te ata, a whakaemia ana e ia te iwi, na haere ana ia me nga kaumatua o Iharaira i mua i te iwi ki Hai.
And Joshua arose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
11 A, ko te iwi katoa tae noa ki te hunga hapai patu i a ia, i haere, i whakatata, a ka tae ki mua o te pa, a noho rawa atu ki te taha ki te raki o Hai: na he wharua i waenganui o ratou, o Hai.
And all the people, even the men of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.
12 Na ka tango ia i etahi tangata tata tonu ki te rima mano, a whakanohoia ana e ia hei pehipehi ki waenganui o Peteere, o Hai, ki te taha ki te hauauru o te pa.
And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
13 A, ka oti i a ratou te whakanoho te iwi, ara te ope katoa, tera i te raki o te pa, me a ratou pehipehi ki te hauauru o te pa, na ka haere a Hohua i taua po ano ki waenganui o te wharua.
So they set the people, even all the army that was on the north of the city, and their ambushment that were on the west of the city, and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
14 A, no te kitenga o te kingi o Hai, na hohoro ana ratou, maranga wawe ana; ko te tino putanga mai o nga tangata o te pa ki te tu i a Ihariara ki te riri, a ia me tona iwi katoa i te wa i whakaritea, i te ritenga mai o te mania; kihai ia i mohio h e pehipehi tera mona kei tua o te pa.
And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hastened and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah, but he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
15 A whakawhati ana a Hohua ratou ko Iharaira katoa i a ratou ano i o ratou aroaro, a rere ana i te huarahi ki te koraha.
And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
16 Katahi ka karangatia te iwi katoa i roto i Hai ki te whai i a ratou: na whai ana ratou i muri i a Hohua, a manukawhakitia ana ratou i roto i te pa.
And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them, and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
17 A kahore he tangata o Hai raua ko Peteere i noho i te haere ki te whai i a Iharaira: na whakarerea ana e ratou te pa kia takoto kau ana, a whai ana i muri i a Iharaira.
And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who did not go out after Israel. And they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
18 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Whakatotoro atu te timata i tou ringa na ki Hai; no te mea ka hoatu e ahau a reira ki tou ringa. Na whakatoroa atu ana e Hohua te timata i tona ringa ki te pa.
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai, for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.
19 Na hohoro tonu te rewa o te pehipehi i to ratou wahi, a rere ana i te toronga atu ano o tona ringa: a tomokia ana e ratou te pa a horo noa, na hohoro tonu ta ratou tahu i te pa ki te ahi.
And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it. And they hastened and set the city on fire.
20 A, no te tahuritanga o nga tangata o Hai, ka titiro, na ko te paowa o te pa e kake ana ki te rangi, na kahore o ratou kaha ki te rere penei ranei, pera ranei: na ka tahuri te hunga i rere whaka te koraha ki nga mea i whai ra.
And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way. And the people who fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
21 A, no te kitenga o Hohua ratou ko Iharaira katoa kua horo te pa i te pehipehi, a ko te paowa o te pa e kake ana ki runga, na ka tahuri ratou, ka patu i nga tangata o Hai.
And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and killed the men of Ai.
22 A ka puta mai era i roto i te pa ki te whakatutaki i a ratou; na ka noho ratou ki waenganui o Iharaira, ko etahi ki tenei taha, ko etahi ki tera taha: na tukitukia iho ratou e ratou, a kore rawa i toe tetahi morehu, tetahi ranei i rere atu.
And the others came forth out of the city against them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side. And they smote them so that they let none of them remain or escape.
23 A hopukia oratia ana e ratou te kingi o Hai, a kawea ana ki a Hohua.
And they took the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
24 A, no ka poto i a Iharaira te patu nga tangata katoa o Hai i te parea, i te koraha i whaia nei ratou ki reira, a ka hinga katoa ratou i te mata o te hoari a poto noa ratou, katahi ka hoki katoa a Iharaira ki Hai, ka tukituki hoki i reira ki te m ata o te hoari.
And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
25 A, ko nga tangata katoa i hinga i taua ra, nga tane me nga wahine, kotahi tekau ma rua mano, ko nga tangata katoa hoki o Hai.
And all who fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
26 Kahore hoki a Hohua i whakahoki mai i tona ringa, i torona atu ai e ia me te timata, a ngaro noa i a ia nga tangata katoa o Hai.
For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
27 Ko nga kararehe anake me nga taonga o taua pa i tangohia e Iharaira ma ratou, i pera ano me te kupu a Ihowa i tohutohu ai ki a Hohua.
Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey to themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which he commanded Joshua.
28 A tahuna ana e Hohua a Hai, meinga iho hei puranga mo a mua tonu atu, hei ururua a tae noa mai ki tenei ra.
So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.
29 A ko te kingi o Hai i taronatia e Hohua a ahiahi noa: a, ka to te ra, ka whakahaua e Hohua kia tangohia iho tona tinana i runga i te rakau, kia maka ki te kuwaha o te tomokanga ki te pa, kia whakapurangatia he kohatu ki runga i a ia, he puranga nui e tu nei a taea noatia tenei ra.
And he hanged the king of Ai on a tree until the evening. And at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised a great heap of stones on it, to this day.
30 Na hanga ana e Hohua tetahi aata ma Ihowa, ma te Atua o Iharaira, ki Maunga Epara,
Then Joshua built an altar to Jehovah, the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
31 Pera me ta Mohi, me ta te pononga a Ihowa i whakahau ai ki nga tama a Iharaira, he mea e rite ana ki tera i tuhituhia ki roto i te pukapuka o te ture a Mohi, he aata kamaka toitu, kihai nei i akina iho te rino ki runga; a whakaekea ana e ratou h e tahunga tinana ma Ihowa, i patua hoki he whakahere mo te pai.
as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man had lifted up any iron. And they offered burnt offerings on it to Jehovah, and sacrificed peace offerings.
32 A tuhituhia ana e ia i reira ki nga kohatu nga kupu o te ture a Mohi, he mea tuhituhi i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the sons of Israel.
33 A, ko Iharaira katoa, ko ona kaumatua, ko nga rangatira, ko ona kaiwhakawa, i tu ki tetahi taha o te aaka, ki tetahi taha, ki mua o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, o nga kaiamo i te kawenata a Ihowa ratou tahi ko te manene, ko te tangata tupu; ko te tahi taanga o ratou i te ritenga atu o Maunga Keritimi, a ko tetahi taanga o ratou i te ritenga atu o Maunga Epara; i rite tonu ki ta Mohi, ki ta te pononga a Ihowa i whakahau ai i mua, hei manaaki i te iwi o Iharaira.
And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the sojourner as the home born, half of them in front of mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
34 A muri iho ka korerotia e ia nga kupu katoa o te ture, nga manaaki me nga kanga, rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o te ture.
And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
35 Kahore he kupu o nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Mohi i kore te korerotia e Hohua ki te aroaro o te huihui katoa o Iharaira, o nga wahine hoki me nga tamariki, me nga manene i noho tahi nei me ratou.
There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners who were among them.
