Siosiua 6
1 Pea ko eni, naʻe tāpuni maʻu ʻa Seliko koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: naʻe ʻikai hū kituʻa ha tokotaha, pe hū ha tokotaha ki loto.
Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
2 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Vakai, Kuo u tuku ʻa Seliko ki ho nima, mo hono tuʻi, mo e kau tangata toʻa ʻo ia.
The LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
3 Pea ko kimoutolu ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē, te mou ʻāʻi ʻae kolo, ʻo ʻalu ʻo takatakai ʻo tuʻo taha. Pea ke fai pehē pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono.
All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
4 Pea ʻe fua ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻe toko fitu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae meʻalea ʻe fitu, ko e nifo ʻoe sipitangata: pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho te mou ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻi he kolo ke liunga fitu, pea ʻe ifi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae meʻalea.
Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
5 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka nau ka ifi fakamānavaloloaʻaki ʻae meʻalea ko e nifo ʻoe sipitangata, pea ka mou ka ongoʻi ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe meʻalea, ʻe kaila ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻi he fuʻu kaila lahi; pea ʻe hinga lafalafa ai ʻae ʻā ʻoe kolo, pea ʻe ʻalu hake fakahangatonu atu ki ai ʻae tangata kotoa pē.”
It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.”
6 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua, ko e foha ʻo Nuni ki he kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou toʻo hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, pea ke fua ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻe toko fitu ʻae meʻalea ʻe fitu ko e nifo ʻoe sipitangata, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha tapu ʻo Sihova.”
Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD’s ark.”
7 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai, “Mou ʻalu atu, ʻo kāpui ʻae kolo, pea ko ia ʻoku toʻo mahafutau ke ʻalu muʻomuʻa ia ʻi he puha tapu ʻo Sihova.”
They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD’s ark.”
8 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻae lea ʻa Siosiua, ki he kakai, ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻe toko fitu, ʻaia naʻe fua ʻae meʻalea ʻe fitu, ʻae nifo ʻoe sipitangata, naʻa nau ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo ifi ʻae ngaahi meʻalea: pea naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova.
It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the LORD’s covenant followed them.
9 Pea naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻae kau tangata toʻo mahafutau ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki naʻe ifi ʻae meʻalea, pea naʻe muimui ʻi he puha ʻae tau lahi, naʻe fai ʻae ʻalu atu mo e ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea.
The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
10 Pea kuo ʻosi hono fekau ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa mou kaila, pe fai ha longoaʻa ʻaki homou leʻo, pea ʻoua naʻa ʻalu atu ha lea mei homou ngutu, kaeʻoua ke hokosia ʻae ʻaho ʻaia te u fekau ke mou kaila; pea te mou toki kaila.
Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”
11 Ko ia, naʻe ʻalu takatakai ʻi he kolo ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova, ʻo ʻalu fakatakamilo tuʻo taha: pea naʻa nau toe haʻu ki he ʻapitanga, ʻo mohe ʻi he ʻapitanga.
So he caused the LORD’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
12 Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pongipongi, pea toʻo hake ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova.
Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the LORD’s ark.
13 Pea naʻe ʻaluʻalu maʻu pe ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻe toko fitu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he puha ʻo Sihova ʻonau toʻo ʻae meʻalea ʻe fitu ko e nifo ʻoe sipitangata, ʻo ifi pe ʻae ngaahi meʻalea: pea naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau tangata toʻo mahafutau: pea muimui ʻi he puha tapu ʻo Sihova ʻae tau lahi, kae ʻalu ai pe ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻo ifi ʻaki ʻae meʻalea.
The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went.
14 Pea ko hono ua ʻoe ʻaho naʻa nau takatakai ʻae kolo ʻo tuʻo taha, pea toe haʻu ki he ʻapitanga: pea naʻa nau fai pehē pe ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono.
The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
15 Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻo feʻunga mo e maʻa ʻae ʻaho, ʻonau takatakai pehē pe ʻae kolo ke liunga fitu: ka ko e ʻaho pē taha ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻi he kolo ʻo liunga fitu.
On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around the city seven times.
16 Pea ʻi hono liunga fitu naʻe pehē, ʻi he ifi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea, naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “Mou kaila; he kuo foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ʻae kolo.
At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!
17 Pea ʻe fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻae kolo, ʻaia mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai kia Sihova: ka ʻe moʻui ʻa Lehapi pē, ko e angahala, ko ia mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻi he fale, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fufū ʻae ongo mataki naʻa tau fekau.
The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 Pea ko kimoutolu, mou taʻofi muʻa ʻakimoutolu mei he meʻa malaʻia, telia naʻa mou fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻi hoʻomou ala ki he meʻa malaʻia, ʻo fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻae ʻapitanga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakamamahiʻi ia.
But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it.
19 Ka ko e siliva kotoa pē, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa mo e ʻaione, kuo fakatapui kia Sihova: ʻe ʻomi ia kotoa pē ki he fale koloa ʻo Sihova.”
But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD’s treasury.”
20 Ko ia naʻe kaila ʻae kakai ʻi he ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki: pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai ki he ifi ʻoe meʻalea, pea kaila ʻe he kakai ʻi he fuʻu kaila lahi, naʻe hinga lafalafa ʻae ā ki lalo, pea ʻalu hangatonu hake ʻae kakai ki loto kolo, ʻo ʻalu hangatonu atu ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻonau maʻu ʻae kolo.
So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city.
21 Pea naʻa nau fakaʻauha ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he kolo, ʻae tangata mo e fefine, ʻae talavou mo e mātuʻa, mo e fanga pulu, mo e ʻasi, mo e sipi, ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā.
They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
22 Ka naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ki he ongo tangata naʻe mataki ʻae fonua, “Mo hū ki he fale ʻoe fefine angahala, pea ʻomi mei ai ʻae fefine, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu ʻo hangē ko hoʻomo fuakava kiate ia.”
Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.”
23 Pea naʻe hū ki ai ʻae ongo talavou ʻaia ko e ongo mataki, ʻo ʻomi kituʻa ʻa Lehapi, mo ʻene tamai, mo ʻene faʻē, mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu; pea naʻa nau ʻomi kituʻa hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he tuʻa ʻapitanga ʻo ʻIsileli.
The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
24 Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae afi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai: ka ko e koula, mo e siliva, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa mo e ʻaione, naʻa nau tuku ki he fale koloa ʻo Sihova.
They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
25 Pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Siosiua ʻa Lehapi ko e angahala, mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu; pea ʻoku nofo ia ʻi ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fufū ʻae ongo tangata fekau, ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Siosiua ke mataki ʻae fonua.
But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Pea naʻe lea tuki ʻa Siosiua kiate kinautolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, “Malaʻia ki he tangata ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻoku tuʻu hake ʻo toe langa ʻae kolo ni ko Seliko: ʻe ʻai ʻe ia ʻa hono tuʻunga ʻi heʻene ʻuluaki tupu, pea ʻi hono foha kimui te ne fokotuʻu ʻa hono matapā.”
Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”
27 Pea naʻe pehē ʻae ʻia Siosiua ʻa Sihova; pea naʻe ongona hono ongoongolelei ʻi he potu kotoa pē ko ia.
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
