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 YHWH says to Joshua, “Do not fear, nor be frightened, take with you all the people of war, and rise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your 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 you have done to Ai and to her king as you have done to Jericho and to her king; only spoil its spoil and its livestock for yourselves; for you set an ambush for the city at its rear.”
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 Joshua rises, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai, and Joshua chooses thirty thousand men, mighty men of valor, and sends them away 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 commands them, saying, “See, you are ones lying in wait against the city, at the rear of the city, you do not go very far off from the city, and all of you have been prepared,
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 who [are] with me draw near to the city, and it has come to pass, when they come out to meet us as at the first, and we have fled 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 have come out after us until we have drawn them out of the city, for they say, They are fleeing before us as at the first, and we have fled 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 you rise from the ambush, and have occupied the city, and your God YHWH has given 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 has been, when you capture the city, you burn the city with fire, you do according to the word of YHWH, 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 sends them away, and they go to the ambush, and abide between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai; and Joshua lodges on 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 Joshua rises early in the morning, and inspects the people, and goes up, he and [the] elderly 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 of war who [are] with him have gone up, and draw near and come in before the city, and encamp on the north of Ai; and the valley [is] 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 takes about five thousand men, and sets them [for] an ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west 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.
and they set the people, all the camp which [is] on the north of the city, and its rear on the west of the city, and that night Joshua goes on 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 comes to pass, when the king of Ai sees [it], that he hurries, and rises early, and the men of the city go out to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people, at the appointed time, at the front of the plain, and he has not known that an ambush [is] against him, on the rear of 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 [seem] struck before them, and flee 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 who [are] in the city are called to pursue after them, and they pursue after Joshua, and are drawn away out of 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 has not been a man left in Ai and Bethel who has not gone out after Israel, and they leave the city open, and pursue 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 YHWH says to Joshua, “Stretch out with the javelin which [is] in your hand toward Ai, for I give it into your hand”; and Joshua stretches out with the javelin which [is] 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 has risen [with] haste, out of its place, and they run at the stretching out of his hand, and go into the city, and capture it, and hurry, and burn the city with 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 Ai look behind them, and see, and behold, the smoke of the city has gone up to the heavens, and there has not been power in them to flee here and there—and the people who are fleeing to the wilderness have turned against the pursuer—
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 Joshua and all Israel have seen that the ambush has captured the city, and that the smoke of the city has gone up, and they turn back and strike 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 these have come out from the city to meet them, and they are in the midst of Israel, some on this [side], and some on that [side], and they strike them until he has not left a remnant and escaped one to them;
23 A hopukia oratia ana e ratou te kingi o Hai, a kawea ana ki a Hohua.
and they have caught the king of Ai alive, and bring him near 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 comes to pass, at Israel’s finishing to slay all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them (and all of them fall by the mouth of the sword until their consumption), that all of Israel turns back to Ai, and strikes it by the mouth 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 fall during the day, of men and of women, are twelve thousand—all 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.
And Joshua has not brought back his hand which he stretched out with the javelin until he has devoted 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 livestock and the spoil of that city has Israel spoiled for themselves, according to the word of YHWH 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.
And Joshua burns Ai, and makes it a continuous heap—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 has hanged the king of Ai on the tree until evening, and at the going in of the sun Joshua has commanded, and they take down his carcass from the tree, and cast it to the opening of the gate of the city, and raise a great heap of stones over it until this day.
30 Na hanga ana e Hohua tetahi aata ma Ihowa, ma te Atua o Iharaira, ki Maunga Epara,
Then Joshua builds an altar to YHWH, 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, servant of YHWH, commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses—an altar of whole stones, over which he has not waved iron—and they cause burnt-offerings to go up on it to YHWH, and sacrifice 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 writes there on the stones a copy of the Law of Moses, which he has written 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 its elderly, and authorities, and his judges, are standing on this [side] and on that [side] of the Ark, before the priests, the Levites, carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, the sojourner as well as the native, half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and the half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses servant of YHWH had commanded to bless the people of Israel at the first.
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 has proclaimed all the words of the Law, the blessing and the reviling, according to all that is written in the Scroll 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 has not been a thing of all that Moses commanded which Joshua has not proclaimed before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the infants, and the sojourner who is going in their midst.
