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.
The angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, "I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to 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 you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice: why have you done this?
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.
Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they will become your adversaries, and their gods shall be a snare to 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.
It happened, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words to 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.
They called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to 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 to 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.
The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD that he had worked for Israel.
8 Na ka mate a Hohua tama a Nunu, te pononga a Ihowa, kotahi rau kotahi tekau ona tau.
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred 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.
They buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath Serah, 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 all that generation were also gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD, nor the works which he had done for Israel.
11 Na ka mahi nga tamariki a Iharaira i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa, ka mahi hoki ki nga Paara.
The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals;
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 who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them: and they provoked the LORD to anger.
13 Heoi whakarere ana ratou i a Ihowa, a mahi ana ki a Paara, ki te Ahataroto hoki.
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.
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of marauders who plundered them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, 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.
Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for harm, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were in great distress.
16 I whakaara ake ano a Ihowa i etahi kaiwhakarite hei whakaora i a ratou i te ringa o o ratou kaipahua.
The LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered 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.
Yet they did not listen to their judges; for they played the prostitute after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them: they turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not do 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.
When the LORD raised up judges for them, 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 grieved the LORD because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled 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 happened, 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 bow down to them; they did not cease from their practices, and they did not turn aside from their stubborn ways.
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;
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and he said, "Because this nation has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not obeyed 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 will no longer drive out before them any 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 test Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it, as their fathers kept 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.
