Siosiua 7
1 Ka naʻe fai hala ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he meʻa fakamalaʻia: he ko ʻAkani, ko e foha ʻo Kalimi, ko e foha ʻo Sapiti, ko e foha ʻo Sela ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Siuta, naʻa ne toʻo ʻae meʻa malaʻia: pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
And the sons of Israel commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, taketh of the devoted thing, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against the sons of Israel.
2 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ʻae kau tangata mei Seliko ki ʻAi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu ʻo Pete-ʻAveni, ʻi he potu hahake ʻo Peteli, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAlu hake ʻo vakai ki he fonua. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kau tangata ʻonau fakasiosio ki ʻAi.”
And Joshua sendeth men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] near Beth-Aven, on the east of Bethel, and speaketh unto them, saying, 'Go up and spy the land;' and the men go up and spy Ai,
3 Pea naʻa nau liu mai kia Siosiua, “ʻO nau talaange kiate ia, ʻoua naʻa tuku ke ʻalu hake ʻae kakai kotoa pē; kae tuku ke ʻalu hake ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko ua afe pē ko e toko tolu afe ʻo taaʻi ʻa ʻAi; pea ʻoua naʻa pule ke ʻalu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki ai he ʻoku nau tokosiʻi pē.”
and they turn back unto Joshua, and say unto him, 'Let not all the people go up; let about two thousand men, or about three thousand men, go up, and they smite Ai; cause not all the people to labour thither; for they [are] few.'
4 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ki ai ʻi he kakai ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu afe: pea naʻa nau hola mei he ʻao ʻoe kau tangata ʻo ʻAi.
And there go up of the people thither about three thousand men, and they flee before the men of Ai,
5 Pea naʻe teʻia ʻiate kinautolu ʻe he kau tangata ʻo ʻAi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungofulu ma toko ono; he naʻa nau tuli ʻakinautolu mei he ʻao ʻoe matapā ʻo aʻu ki Sepalimi, pea naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻalu hifo: ko ia naʻe vaivai ai ʻae loto ʻoe kakai, pea hoko ʻo hangē ha vai.
and the men of Ai smite of them about thirty and six men, and pursue them before the gate unto Shebarim, and they smite them in Morad; and the heart of the people is melted, and becometh water.
6 Pea naʻe hae ʻe Siosiua hono kofu, pea fakato ia ki he kelekele ki hono mata ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻo Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, ʻaia mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe ʻai ʻae efu ki honau ʻulu.
And Joshua rendeth his garments, and falleth on his face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah till the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they cause dust to go up on their head.
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua, “ʻOiauē, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e hā nai kuo ke ʻomi ai ʻae kakai ni, ki he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani, ke fakatukutukuʻi ʻakimautolu ki he nima ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ke fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu? ʻAmusiaange ne mau fiemālie, pea nofomaʻu ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani!
And Joshua saith, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, why hast Thou at all caused this people to pass over the Jordan, to give us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? — and oh that we had been willing — and we dwell beyond the Jordan!
8 ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻeku lea ʻe fai, ʻoka fulituʻa ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo Situa ki honau ngaahi fili!
Oh, Lord, what do I say, after that Israel hath turned the neck before its enemies?
9 He ko e kakai Kēnani ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua tenau fanongo ki ai, pea tenau ʻāʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻonau motuhi homau hingoa mei māmani: pea ko e hā te ke fai ki ho huafa lahi?”
and the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land do hear, and have come round against us, and cut off our name out of the earth; and what dost Thou do for Thy great name?'
10 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu hake koe; ko e hā ʻoku ke tokoto ai ki ho mata?
And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'Rise for thee, why [is] this? — thou [art] falling on thy face?
11 Kuo fai angahala ʻa ʻIsileli, pea kuo nau fai talangataʻa ki heʻeku fuakava ʻaia naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu: he kuo nau toʻo ʻae meʻa malaʻia, pea kuo nau kaihaʻa, mo fai fakakākā foki, pea kuo nau ʻai ia ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻanautolu.
Israel hath sinned, and also they have transgressed My covenant which I commanded them, and also taken of the devoted thing, and also stolen, and also deceived, and also put [it] among their vessels,
12 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ka naʻe tafoki atu honau tuʻa ki he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili; koeʻuhi kuo fakamalaʻia ʻakinautolu: pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakaʻauha ʻae meʻa kovi meiate kimoutolu.
and the sons of Israel have not been able to stand before their enemies; the neck they turn before their enemies, for they have become a devoted thing; I add not to be with you — if ye destroy not the devoted thing out of your midst.
13 Tuʻu hake, fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae kakai, mo ke pehē, ‘Fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻapongipongi:’ he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻE ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate koe ʻae meʻa fakamalaʻia; ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho ngaahi fili, kaeʻoua ke mou toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻae meʻa fakamalaʻia meiate kimoutolu.
'Rise, sanctify the people, and thou hast said, Sanctify yourselves for to-morrow; for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, A devoted thing [is] in thy midst, O Israel, thou art not able to stand before thine enemies till your turning aside of the devoted thing out of your midst;
14 Ko ia, ʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he pongipongi ʻo fakatatau ki homou ngaahi faʻahinga: pea ʻe pehē, ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova ʻe haʻu ia ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi nofoʻanga: pea ko e nofoʻanga ko ia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova tenau haʻu ʻo fakatatau mo honau ngaahi fale: pea ko e fale ko ia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova tenau haʻu tautau tokotaha pe ʻae tangata.
and ye have been brought near in the morning by your tribes, and it hath been, the tribe which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by families, and the family which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by households, and the household which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by men;
15 Pea ʻe fai pehē, ko ia ʻoku moʻua mo e meʻa malaʻia ʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi, ʻaia mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu: koeʻuhi kuo fai talangataʻa ia ki he fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fai angahala ʻi ʻIsileli.”
and it hath been, he who is captured with the devoted thing is burnt with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath done folly in Israel.'
16 Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga; pea naʻe fili ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Siuta;
And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and bringeth Israel near by its tribes, and the tribe of Judah is captured;
17 Pea ne ʻomi ʻae nofoʻanga ʻo Siuta pea ne fili ʻae fale ʻo Sela: pea ne ʻomi ʻae fale ʻo Sela ʻo tautau tokotaha ʻae tangata; pea naʻe fili ʻa Sapiti.
and he bringeth near the family of Judah, and he captureth the family of the Zarhite; and he bringeth near the family of the Zarhite by men, and Zabdi is captured;
18 Pea naʻe ʻomi hono kau nofoʻanga ʻo tautau tokotaha ʻae tangata: pea moʻua ʻa ʻAkani, ʻaia ko e foha ʻo Kalimi, ko e foha ʻa Sapiti, ko e foha ʻo Sela, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta.
and he bringeth near his household by men, and Achan — son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah — is captured.
19 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua kia ʻAkani, “ʻE hoku foha, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakaʻapaʻapa kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ke vete kiate ia; pea ke tala mai ni kiate au ʻaia naʻa ke fai; ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ia ʻiate au.”
And Joshua saith unto Achan, 'My son, put, I pray thee, honour on Jehovah, God of Israel, and give to Him thanks, and declare, I pray thee, to me, what thou hast done — hide not from me.'
20 Pea talaange ʻe ʻAkani kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni kuo u fai angahala kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ʻoku pehē pe, mo pehē pe ʻeku fai:
And Achan answereth Joshua, and saith, 'Truly I have sinned against Jehovah, God of Israel, and thus and thus I have done;
21 ʻI heʻeku mamata ʻi he meʻa naʻe vete ki he kofu fakaPapilone matamatalelei, mo e sikeli siliva ʻe uangeau mo e konga koula, ko e sikeli ʻe nimangofulu hono mamafa, ne u manumanu ki ai, peau ʻave ia: pea vakai, kuo fufū ia ʻi he kelekele ʻi hoku loto fale fehikitaki, pea ʻoku ʻi lalo ʻae siliva.”
and I see among the spoil a goodly robe of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and one wedge of gold, whose weight [is] fifty shekels, and I desire them, and take them; and lo, they [are] hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.'
22 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ʻae kau talafekau, pea naʻa nau feleleʻi ki he fale fehikitaki; pea vakai, naʻe fufū ia ʻi hono fale fehikitaki, pea naʻe ʻi lalo ʻae siliva.
And Joshua sendeth messengers, and they run unto the tent, and lo, it is hidden in his tent, and the silver under it;
23 Pea naʻe toʻo ia mei he loto fale fehikitaki, ʻo ʻomi ia kia Siosiua, pea ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, pea folahi atu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
and they take them out of the midst of the tent, and bring them in unto Joshua, and unto all the sons of Israel, and pour them out before Jehovah.
24 Pea ko Siosiua mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia, naʻa nau ʻave ʻa ʻAkani, ko e foha ʻo Sela, mo e siliva, mo e kofu, mo e konga koula, mo hono ngaahi foha, mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine, mo ʻene fanga pulu, mo ʻene fanga ʻasi, mo ʻene fanga sipi, mo hono fale fehikitaki, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu: pea nau ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he luo ko ʻAkoli.
And Joshua taketh Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, and the robe, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his flock, and his tent, and all that he hath, and all Israel with him, and they cause them to go up the valley of Achor.
25 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua, “Ko e hā kuo ke fakamamahiʻi ai ʻakimautolu? ʻE fakamamahiʻi koe ʻe Sihova he ʻaho ni.” Pea naʻe tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi maka ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea naʻe tutu ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae afi, hili ʻenau tolongaki ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae maka.
And Joshua saith, 'What! thou hast troubled us! — Jehovah doth trouble thee this day;' and all Israel cast stones at him, and they burn them with fire, and they stone them with stones,
26 Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate ia ʻae fuʻu ʻesi maka lahi ʻoku tuʻu ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. Pea naʻe tafoki ʻa Sihova mei hono lahi ʻo hono houhau. Ko ia naʻe ui ai ʻae potu ko ia, Ko e luo ʻo ʻAkoli ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
and they raise up over him a great heap of stones unto this day, and Jehovah turneth back from the heat of His anger, therefore hath [one] called the name of that place 'Valley of Achor' till this day.
