Iosua 2
1 HOOUNA aku la o Iosua, ke keiki a Nuna i na kanaka elua, mai Sitima aku e kiu malu, i ae la, Ou haele e makai i ka aina ia Ieriko. Hele aku laua a komo iloko o ka hale o kekahi wahine hookamakama, o Rahaba kona inoa, a moe iho la laua malaila.
And Joshua the son of Naue sent out of Sattin two young men to spy [the land], saying, Go up and view the land and Jericho: and the two young men went and entered into Jericho; and they entered into the house of a harlot, whose name [was] Raab, and lodged there.
2 Ua haiia'ku la i ke alii o Ieriko, i ka i ana aku, Aia hoi, ua hele mai nei i ka po, kekahi mau kanaka, no na mamo a Iseraela e makai i ka aina.
An it was reported to the king of Jericho, saying, Men of the sons of Israel have come in hither to spy the land.
3 Hoouna aku la ke alii o Ieriko, i aku la ia Rahaba, E lawe mai oe iwaho i ua mau kanaka la i hele mai iou la, a i komo iloko o kou hale; no ka mea, ua hele mai laua e makai i ka aina a pau.
And the king of Jericho sent and spoke to Raab, saying, Bring out the men that entered into your house this night; for they are come to spy out the land.
4 Lawe ae la ka wahine i ua mau kanaka la elua, huna iho la ia laua a olelo aku la penei, Hele mai la kekahi mau kanaka io'u nei, aole hoi au i ike i kahi a laua i hele mai ai:
And the woman took the two men and hid them; and she spoke to the messengers, saying, The men came in to me,
5 A i ke pani ana o ka puka i ka poeleele, hele aku la ua mau kanaka la iwaho. Aole au i ike i ko laua wahi i hele ai. E hahai koke aku ia laua, a e loaa no.
but when the gate was shut in the evening, the men went out; I know not whither they are gone: follow after them, if you may overtake them.
6 Aka, ua lawe ae la ia ia laua maluna o ka hale, a huna iho la ia laua malalo iho o kahi olona ana i hoonohonoho ai, ma ia wahi maluna.
But she [had] brought them up upon the house, and hid them in the flax-stalks that were spread by her on the house.
7 Hahai aku la na kanaka ia laua ma ke ala e hiki aku ai i Ioredane, a hiki i ke ahua. A puka aku la ka poe hahai iwaho, alaila, paniia iho la ka puka.
And the men followed after them in the way to Jordan to the fords; and the gate was shut.
8 Mamua o ko laua moe ana, pii aku la ua wahine nei io laua la maluna o ka hale;
And it came to pass when the men who pursued after them were gone forth, and before the spies had lain down to sleep, that she came up to them on the top of the house;
9 I aku la ia i ua mau kanaka la, Ua ike no wau, ua haawi mai o Iehova i ka aina no oukou, a ua kau mai ka weliweli ia oukou maluna o makou, a ua maule ka poe a pau e noho nei ma keia aina ia oukou.
and she said to them, I know that the Lord has given you the land; for the fear of you has fallen upon us.
10 No ka mea, ua lohe makou i ko Iehova hoomaloo ana i ka wai o ke Kaiula imua o oukou, i ka wa i puka mai ai oukou mailoko mai o Aigupita; a me ka mea a oukou i hana aku ai i na'lii elua o ka Amora ma kela aoao o Ioredane, ia Sihona, laua o Oga, i na mea a oukou i anai loa ai.
For we have heard that the Lord God dried up the Red Sea before you, when you came out of the land of Egypt, and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Seon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
11 A lohe makou, maule iho la ko makou mau naau, aole i koe ke aho iloko o kekahi kanaka imua o oukou; no ka mea, o Iehova, ko oukou Akua, oia ke Akua maluna, ma ka lani, a malalo hoi ma ka honua.
And when we heard it we were amazed in our heart, and there was no longer any spirit in any of us because of you, for the Lord your god [is] God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath.
12 Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia olua, e hoohiki olua ia Iehova no'u, no ka'u hana lokomaikai ana'ku ia olua, e hana lokomaikai mai no hoi olua ia'u, a me ka poe o ko'u makuakane, a e haawi mai hoi olua i hoailona oiaio;
And now swear to me by the Lord God; since I deal mercifully with you, so do you also deal mercifully with the house of my father:
13 A e hoola oukou i ko'u makuakane a me ko'u makuwahine, a me ko'u poe kaikunane, a me na kaikaina o'u a me ko lakou mea a pau, a e hoopakele mai ia makou i ka make.
and save alive the house of my father, my mother, and my brethren, and all my house, and all that they have, and you shall rescue my soul from death.
14 I mai la ua mau kanaka la ia ia, E lilo no ko maua ola no kou, ke hai ole oe i keia hana a maua. A i ka wa e haawi mai ai o Iehova i ka aina no makou, alaila, e hana lokomaikai aku maua ia oe, me ka oiaio.
And the men said to her, Our life for yours [even] to death: and she said, When the Lord shall have delivered the city to you, you shall deal mercifully and truly with me.
15 Alaila, ma ke kaula oia i kuu iho ai ia laua ilalo, ma ka puka makani; no ka mea, aia kona hale maluna o ka pa, a noho no oia ma ka pa.
And she let them down by the window;
16 I aku la ia ia laua, E hele olua i ka mauna, o loaa olua i ka poe hahai; a e pee malaila, i ekolu mau la, a hoi mai ka poe hahai; alaila, o hele olua i ko olua wahi e hele ai.
and she said to them, Depart into the hill-country, lest the pursuers meet you, and you shall be hidden there three days until your pursuers return from after you, and afterwards you shall depart on your way.
17 I mai la ua mau kanaka la ia ia, Aole loa maua e lawehala i ka hoohiki ana a maua i hoohiki ai nou.
And the men said to her, We are clear of this your oath.
18 A hiki makou i keia aina, alaila, e hikii oe ma ka puka i keia kaula ulaula au i hookuu iho ai ia maua ilalo; a e hoakoakoa mai oe, ma kou hale, i kou makuakane a me kou makuwahine, a me kou poe kaikunane a me ka poe a pau o kou makuakane.
Behold, we shall enter into a part of the city, and you shall set a sign; you shall bind this scarlet cord in the window, by which you have let us down, and you shall bring in to yourself, into your house, your father, and your mother, and your brethren, and all the family of your father.
19 A o ka mea puka mawaho o ka puka o kou hale ma ke alanui, aia no kona koko maluna o kona poo iho, a e hala ole maua; a o na mea ma ou nei, maloko o ka hale, eia no kona koko maluna o ko maua poo, ke kau ka lima maluna ona.
And it shall come to pass that whoever shall go outside the door of your house, his guilt shall be upon him, and we shall be quit of this your oath; and we will be responsible for all that shall be found with you in your house.
20 A ina e hai oe i keia hana a maua, alaila, aole maua e lawehala i ka hoohiki ana a maua i hoohiki ai nou.
But if any one should injure us, or betray these our matters, we shall be quit of this your oath.
21 I aku la keia, E like me ka olua olelo, pela no. Kuu iho la oia ia laua, a hele aku la laua; a hikii iho la ia i ke kaula ula ma ka puka.
And she said to them, Let it be according to your word; and she sent them out, and they departed.
22 Hele aku la laua a hiki i ka mauna, a noho iho la ilaila i na la ekolu, a hoi mai ka poe hahai. Ua imi aku la ka poe hahai ia laua, ma ke ala a pau, aole hoi i loaa.
And they came to the hill-country, and remained there three days; and the pursuers searched all the roads, and found them not.
23 A hoi mai la ua mau kanaka la elua, e iho ana mai ka mauna mai, hele ae la laua, a hiki aku la io Iosua la, i ke keiki a Nuna, a hai aku la ia ia i na mea a pau i loaa ia lana:
And the two young men returned, and came down out of the mountain; and they went over to Joshua the son of Naue, and told him all things that had happened to them.
24 Olelo aku la laua ia Iosua, Ua haawi io mai no o Iehova i ka aina a pau i ko kakou lima; no ka mea, ua maule hoi ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ia aina, no kakou.
And they said to Joshua, The Lord has delivered all the land into our power, and all the inhabitants of that land tremble because of us.
