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 the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the 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 shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay 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.
And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the 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 commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and 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;
But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:
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;
Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
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 whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.
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 when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
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 he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of 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 rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.
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 when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
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 had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same 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.
But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in 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 when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
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.
But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing 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.
But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come 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 not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
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.
The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
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 when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it 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 the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.
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.
So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.
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 they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.
23 A hopukia oratia ana e ratou te kingi o Hai, a kawea ana ki a Hohua.
And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
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.
So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
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 the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
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.
But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
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.
And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
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.
And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
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 hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.
30 Na hanga ana e Hohua tetahi aata ma Ihowa, ma te Atua o Iharaira, ki Maunga Epara,
Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
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 the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of 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 upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children 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 the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed 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.
After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook 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.
He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.
