Kaiwhakariterite 2
1 Na ka haere ake te anahera a Ihowa i Kirikara ki Pokimi, a ka mea, Naku koutou i haere mai ai i Ihipa, naku hoki koutou i kawe mai ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o koutou matua; i mea ano ahau, E kore e taka taku kawenata ki a koutou.
And the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said: '...I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I said: I will never break My covenant with you;
2 Kaua ano koutou e whakarite kawenata ki nga tangata o tenei whenua; me pakaru e koutou a ratou aata. Heoi kihai nei koutou i rongo ki toku reo. He aha tenei mahi a koutou?
and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars; but ye have not hearkened unto My voice; what is this ye have done?
3 Koia hoki ahau ka mea nei, E kore ahau e pei atu i a ratou i to koutou aroaro; a ka waiho ratou ano he tataramoa ki o koutou kaokao; ko o ratou atua hoki hei rore mo koutou.
Wherefore I also said: I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be unto you as snares, and their gods shall be a trap unto you.'
4 A, no te korerotanga a te anahera a Ihowa i enei kupu ki nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, ka ara te reo o te iwi, ka tangi.
And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Na huaina iho e ratou te ingoa o taua wahi ko Pokimi: i patu whakahere ano hoki ratou ma Ihowa ki reira.
And they called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
6 Na, i ta Hohua tukunga i te iwi kia haere, ka haere nga tamariki a Iharaira ki tona wahi, ki tona wahi, ki te tango i te whenua.
Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
7 A i mahi te iwi ki a Ihowa i nga ra katoa o Hohua, i nga ra katoa ano o nga kaumatua i roa ake nei o ratou ra i o Hohua, i kite nei i nga mahi nunui katoa a Ihowa i meinga e ia mo Iharaira.
And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD, that He had wrought for Israel.
8 Na ka mate a Hohua tama a Nunu, te pononga a Ihowa, kotahi rau kotahi tekau ona tau.
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
9 A tanumia iho ia e ratou ki te rohe o tona wahi, ki Timinataherehe, ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ki te taha ki te raki o Maunga Kaaha.
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
10 Na ka kohia ano hoki taua whakatupuranga katoa ki o ratou matua: a ka ara ake tetahi whakatupuranga ke i muri i a ratou, kihai nei i mohio ki a Ihowa, ki nga mahi ano hoki i mahia e ia mo Iharaira.
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, that knew not the LORD, nor yet the work which He had wrought for Israel.
11 Na ka mahi nga tamariki a Iharaira i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa, ka mahi hoki ki nga Paara.
And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baalim.
12 A whakarerea ake e ratou a Ihowa, te Atua o o ratou matua i whakaputa mai nei i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa, a haere ana ki te whai i nga atua ke, i nga atua o nga iwi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o ratou, a koropiko ana ki a ratou, na ka mea ra tou i a Ihowa kia riri.
And they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and worshipped them; and they provoked the LORD.
13 Heoi whakarere ana ratou i a Ihowa, a mahi ana ki a Paara, ki te Ahataroto hoki.
And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
14 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a tukua ana ratou e ia ki nga ringa o nga kaipahua hei pahua i a ratou, a hokona ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha; kihai hoki i taea e ratou i muri iho te tu ake i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and He gave them over into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 I o ratou haerenga katoa, i runga i a ratou te ringa o Ihowa mo te kino; i rite hoki ki ta Ihowa i korero ai, ki ta Ihowa hoki i oati ai ki a ratou; na te taea to ratou raru.
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn unto them; and they were sore distressed.
16 I whakaara ake ano a Ihowa i etahi kaiwhakarite hei whakaora i a ratou i te ringa o o ratou kaipahua.
And the LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 Heoi kihai ano ratou i whakarongo ki o ratou kaiwhakarite; na kei te puremu, kei te whai ki nga atua ke, kei te koropiko ki a ratou: hohoro tonu to ratou peka ke i te ara i haere ai o ratou matua, ara i te whakarongo ki nga whakahau a Ihowa; kih ai ratou i pera.
And yet they hearkened not unto their judges, for they went astray after other gods, and worshipped them; they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not so.
18 A i nga wa i whakaara ake ai a Ihowa i nga kaiwhakarite mo ratou, na i te kaiwhakarite a Ihowa, a whakaorangia ake ratou e ia i te ringa o o ratou hoariri i nga ra katoa o te kaiwhakarite: i puta ke hoki te whakaaro o Ihowa i a ratou e aue ana i o ratou kaitukino, i o ratou kaiwhakatoi.
And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repented the LORD because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and crushed them.
19 A, no te matenga o te kaiwhakarite, ka hoki ratou ki muri, nui atu to ratou takanga i to o ratou matua; i haere hoki ki te whai i nga atua ke, mahi ai ki a ratou, koropiko ai ki a ratou; kihai i mutu a ratou mahi, me ta ratou tikanga pakeke.
But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to worship them; they left nothing undone of their practices, nor of their stubborn way.
20 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a ka mea ia, Na, kua takahia e tenei iwi taku kawenata i whakahaua e ahau ki o ratou matua; kihai ano i rongo ki toku reo;
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and He said: 'Because this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto My voice;
21 Na, e kore ano ahau e pei atu i tetahi tangata i mua i a ratou o nga iwi i mahue iho i a Hohua i tona matenga.
I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;
22 Kia ai ratou hei whakamatautau maku i a Iharaira, e mau ranei ki te ara o Ihowa haere ai; e rite ranei te mau ki ta o ratou matua, kahore ranei.
that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.'
23 Na ka waiho era iwi e Ihowa, kihai hoki i hohoro te peia atu; kihai ano hoki i tukua ki te ringa o Hohua.
So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered He them into the hand of Joshua.
