< Joshua 6 >

1 Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Na he mea tino tutaki a Heriko i te wehi i nga tama a Iharaira; kahore he tangata i haere ki waho, kahore hoki tetahi i haere ki roto.
2 And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the valiant men.
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Titiro, kua hoatu e ahau ki tou ringa a Heriko, me tona kingi, ratou ko nga marohirohi.
3 And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Na taiawhiotia te pa e koutou, e nga tangata hapai patu katoa, me haere a tawhio noa te pa, kia kotahi ano awhiotanga, Kia ono nga ra e pena ai koe.
4 And seven priests shall carry before the ark seven blast-trumpets; and on the seventh day ye shall go round the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
A kia tokowhitu nga tohunga e mau i nga tetere haona hipi e whitu ki mua i te aaka; a i te whitu o nga ra me taiawhio e koutou te pa, kia whitu nga taiawhiotanga, a me whakatangi e nga tohunga nga tetere.
5 And it shall come to pass when they make a long blast with the blast-horn, that all the people on hearing the sound of the trumpet shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall flat, and the people shall go up, each one straight before him.
A, ko roa te tangi o te haona hipi, a ka rangona e koutou te tangi o te tetere, me hamama katoa te iwi, kia nui te hamama; na ka hinga te taiepa o te pa, papa rawa ki raro, a ka piki atu te iwi, tera, tera, i nga wahi e rite mai ana ki a ratou.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Carry the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall carry seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah.
Na ka karanga a Hohua, te tama a Nunu, ki nga tohunga, ka mea ki a ratou, Hapainga te aaka o te kawenata, a ma nga tohunga tokowhitu e mau nga tetere haona hipi e whitu ki mua i te aaka a Ihowa.
7 And he said to the people, Pass on, go round the city, and they that are armed shall pass on before the ark of Jehovah.
A i mea ratou ki te iwi, Haere, taiawhiotia te pa, a ko nga tangata hapai patu e haere i mua i te aaka a Ihowa.
8 And it came to pass when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before Jehovah passed on and blew with the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went after them.
Heoi, i te korerotanga a Hohua ki te iwi, na ka mau nga tohunga tokowhitu ki nga tetere haona hipi e whitu, a haere ana i mua i a Ihowa, me te whakatangi ano i nga tetere; i haere hoki te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i muri i a ratou.
9 And the armed men went before the priests who blew with the trumpets, and the rearguard came after the ark; they blew with the trumpets in marching.
A ko nga tangata hapai patu i haere i mua i nga tohunga e whakatangi ana i nga tetere, ko te hiku i haere i muri i te aaka, haere ana nga tohunga me te whakatangi haere i nga tetere.
10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, Shout; then shall ye shout.
A i whakaako a Hohua i te iwi, i mea, Kaua e hamama, kaua o koutou reo e rangona, kei puta hoki tetahi kupu i o koutou waha, a tae noa ki te ra e mea ai ahau ki a koutou, kia hamama; hei reira koutou ka hamama.
11 And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing [it] once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Na meinga ana e ia kia taiawhiotia te pa e te aaka a Ihowa, haere ana a tawhio noa, kotahi ano taiawhiotanga: na ka haere ratou ki te puni, a moe ana ki te puni.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the ark of Jehovah.
A ka maranga wawe a Hohua i te ata, a hapainga ake ana e nga tohunga te aaka a Ihowa.
13 And the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah went on and blew continually with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them, and the rearguard went after the ark of Jehovah; they blew with the trumpets in marching.
I mau ano hoki nga tohunga tokowhitu i nga tetere haona hipi e whitu i mua i te aaka a Ihowa, i haere tonu me te whakatangi haere i nga tetere: a ko nga tangata hapai patu i haere i mua i a ratou; ko te nuinga ia i haere i muri i te aaka a Ihowa: haere ana nga tohunga me te whakatangi ano i nga tetere.
14 And on the second day they went round the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
A i te rua o nga ra i taiawhiotia e ratou te pa, kotahi ano taiawhiotanga, a hoki ana ki te puni: a pera tonu ratou i nga ra e ono.
15 And it was so that on the seventh day they rose early, about the morning-dawn, and went round the city after the same manner seven times; only on that day they went round the city seven times.
Na i te whitu o nga ra ka maranga wawe ratou i te puaotanga o te ra, ka taiawhio hoki i te pa, e whitu nga taiawhiotanga, ko taua ritenga ra ano; otiia i taua ra e whitu a ratou taiawhiotanga i te pa.
16 And it came to pass the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people, Shout; for Jehovah has given you the city.
Na i te whitu o nga taiawhiotanga, ka whakatanga nga tohunga i nga tetere, ka mea a Hohua ki te iwi, Hamama; kua homai hoki e Ihowa te pa ki a koutou.
17 And the city shall be accursed, it and all that is in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Hei mea oti atu ano te pa ma Ihowa, a reira me nga mea katoa i roto; ko Rahapa anake, ko te wahine kairau, ko ia kia ora me nga mea katoa i a ia i roto i te whare, mona i huna i nga tangata i tonoa atu e tatou.
18 But in any wise keep from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed in taking of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Ko koutou ia, kia hopohopo ki te mea kua oti te kanga, kei takina he kanga ki a koutou, ki te tango i tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti te kanga; a ka meinga te ope o Iharaira kia kanga, a whakararua iho e koutou.
19 And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy to Jehovah; they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.
Engari nga hiriwa me nga koura, me nga mea parahi, rino hoki, kia tapu ena ma Ihowa; me riro ena ki roto ki te whare taonga a Ihowa.
20 And the people shouted, and they blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat; and the people went up into the city, each one straight before him, and they took the city.
Heoi ka hamama te iwi, a ka whakatangi nga tohunga i nga tetere: na, i te rongonga o te iwi i te tangi o te tetere, ko te tino hamamatanga o te iwi, he nui te hamama, a hinga iho te taiepa, papa rawa ki raro, a piki atu ana te iwi ki roto ki te pa, tera, tera, i te wahi e rite mai ana ki a ia, na horo ana i a ratou te pa.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city; both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
A tino huna rawatia e ratou nga mea katoa i te pa, nga tane, nga wahine, nga taitamariki, nga koroheke, nga kau, nga hipi, nga kaihe, ki te mata o te hoari.
22 And Joshua said to the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house and bring out thence the woman, and all that she has, as ye swore unto her.
A i mea a Hohua ki nga tangata tokorua i tuteia ai te whenua, Haere ki te whare o te wahine kairau, mauria mai hoki i reira te wahine me nga mea katoa i a ia, whakaritea ta korua i oati ai ki a ia.
23 And the young men, the spies, went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had: all her kindred did they bring out, and they left them outside the camp of Israel.
Na ka haere aua taitama, nga tutei, a mauria ana mai e raua a Rahapa, tona papa, tona whaea, ona tungane, me nga mea katoa i a ia, a mauria katoatia mai ana hoki e raua ona whanaunga katoa ki waho; a waiho ana i waho o te puni o Iharaira.
24 And they burned the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of copper and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.
Na tahuna ake e ratou te pa ki te ahi, me nga mea katoa i roto: ko te hiriwa anake, me te koura, me nga mea parahi, rino hoki, i hoatu e ratou ki te whare taonga o te whare o Ihowa.
25 And Joshua saved alive Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, and she dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day; because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.
Otiia ko Rahapa, ko te wahine kairau, ko te nohoanga o tona papa, me nga mea katoa i a ia, i whakaorangia e Hohua; a noho ana ia i waenganui o Iharaira a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, mona i huna i nga tangata i tonoa e Hohua ki te tutei i Heriko.
26 And Joshua swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who shall rise up and build this city Jericho! In his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and in his youngest son shall he set up its gates.
Na ka whakaoati a Hohua i a ratou i taua wa, ka mea, Ka kanga te tangata ki te aroaro o Ihowa e whakatika ana, ka hanga i tenei pa, i Heriko: ka whakaturia e ia hei runga i tana matamua, ka whakanohoia ano nga tatau hei runga i tana tama o muri.
27 And Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Heoi i a Hohua tonu a Ihowa; a paku ana tona rongo puta noa i te whenua.
