1 B ut the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.

Otiia i taka nga tama a Iharaira ki te kino i te mea kua oti te kanga: he tangohanga na Akana tama a Karami, tama a Taperi, tama a Tera, o te iwi o Hura, i tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti te kanga; a mura iho te riri o Ihowa ki nga tama a Iharaira.

2 A nd Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

Na ka tonoa atu e Hohua etahi tangata i Heriko ki Hai, ki te taha o Peteawene, i te taha ki te rawhiti o Peteere, ka korero hoki ki a ratou, ka mea, Haere ki runga ki te titiro i te whenua. Na ka haere aua tangata, ka titiro i Hai.

3 A nd they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.

A ka hoki mai ratou ki a Hohua, ka mea ki a ia, Kaua e haere katoa te iwi ki runga; engari kia rua, kia toru ranei mano o nga tangata e haere ki runga ki te patu i Hai; kaua hei whakangenge kau atu i te iwi ki reira; he tokoouou hoki ratou.

4 S o there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.

Heoi haere ana ki reira etahi o te iwi, me te mea e toru mano: na rere ana ratou i te aroaro o nga tangata o Hai.

5 A nd the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

A tukitukia iho o ratou e nga tangata o Hai me te mea e toru tekau ma ono tangata; i whaia hoki ratou i mua i te kuwaha a tae noa ki Heparimi, na patupatua ana ratou i te heketanga: a ngohe kau te ngakau o te iwi, koia ano kei te wai.

6 A nd Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

Na ka haehae a Hohua i ona kakahu, ka tapapa ki te whenua, ki mua o te aaka a Ihowa a ahiahi noa, a ia me nga kaumatua o Iharaira; a opehia ana e ratou he puehu ki o ratou upoko.

7 A nd Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!

Na ka mea a Hohua, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa, na te aha rawa ra koe i anga ai ki te whakawhiti mai i tenei iwi i Horano, i hoatu ai matou ki te ringa o nga Amori, kia huna ai matou? Aue, me i aro matou ki te noho atu i tera taha o Horano!

8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!

E te Ariki, me pehea ra he kupu maku, kua parea atu nei e Iharaira o ratou tuara i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri?

9 F or the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

Na te mea ka rongo nga Kanaani me nga tangata katoa o te whenua, na ka karapotia matou, ka huna hoki o matou ingoa i te whenua: a ka pehea koe ki tou ingoa nui?

10 A nd the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hohua, Whakatika; he aha tau e takoto tapapa na?

11 I srael hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.

Kua hara a Iharaira; ae, kua takahi ratou i taku kawenata i whakarite ai ahau ki a ratou: ae, kua tangohia nei e ratou tetahi wahi o te mea kua oti te kanga, me te tahae, me te teka ano ratou, a whaowhina ana e ratou ki roto ki a ratou mea.

12 T herefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

Na reira nga tama a Iharaira te ahei ai te tu i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, na hurihia ana o ratou tuara i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri, kua kanga hoki ratou: e kore ahau e haere i a koutou a muri atu, ki te kahore koutou e whakangaro i te mea k anga i roto i a koutou.

13 U p, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

Whakatika, whakatapua te iwi, mea atu, whakatapu i a koutou mo apopo: ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Kei roto i a koe, e Iharaira, te mea kanga: e kore koe e kaha ki te tu ki te aroaro o ou hoariri, kia tangohia atu ra ano e koutou te mea kanga i roto i a koutou.

14 I n the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the Lord taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the Lord shall take shall come by households; and the household which the Lord shall take shall come man by man.

Na i te ata me whakatata mai koutou, ara o koutou iwi; a tera ko te iwi e tango ai a Ihowa me whakatata mai a hapu; a ko te hapu e tango ai a Ihowa me whakatata a whare mai; a ko te whare e tango ai a Ihowa me whakatata mai ia tangata, ia tangat a.

15 A nd it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.

A, ko te tangata e hopukia kei a ia te mea kanga, me tahu ki te ahi, a ia me ana mea katoa: mona i takahi i te kawenata a Ihowa, i mahi poauau hoki i roto i a Iharaira.

16 S o Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:

Na ka maranga wawe a Hohua i te ata, a whakatataia mai ana e ia a Iharaira, ara ona iwi; na ka mau ko te iwi o Hura.

17 a nd he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:

Na ka arahina mai e ia te hapu o Hura: a ka mau te hapu o nga Terahi: na ka arahina mai e ia te hapu o nga Terahi, tenei tangata, tenei tangata; a ka mau ko Taperi:

18 a nd he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

Na ka arahi ia i tona whare, i tenei tangata, i tenei tangata; a ka mau ko Akana tama a Karami, tama a Taperi, tama a Tera, no te iwi o Hura.

19 A nd Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.

Katahi a Hohua ka mea ki a Akana, E taku tama, whakakororiatia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, a whakina ki a ia, whakaaturia mai hoki ki ahau, i aha koe; kaua e huna i ahau.

20 A nd Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

Na ka whakautua e Akana ki a Hohua, ka mea, He pono i hara ahau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira, a tenei taku i mea ai:

21 w hen I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

I taku kitenga i tetahi koroka whakapaipai no Papurona i roto i nga taonga, i nga hekere hiriwa e rua rau, i tetahi poro koura, e rima tekau hekere tona taimaha, na ka minamina ahau, ka tango; a tera kei te whenua i waenganui o toku teneti e hun a ana, me te hiriwa hoki kei raro iho.

22 S o Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

Na ka tonoa atu e Hohua etahi tangata, a ko to ratou rerenga atu ki te teneti; na ko taua mea e huna ana i roto i tona teneti, me te hiriwa i raro iho.

23 A nd they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the Lord.

Na tangohia ana e ratou aua mea i waenganui o te teneti, a mauria ana ki a Hohua ratou ko nga tama katoa a Iharaira, a whakatakotoria ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

24 A nd Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.

Na ka tango a Hohua ratou tahi ko Iharaira katoa i a Akana tama a Tera, i te hiriwa, i te koroka, i te poro koura, i ana tama, i ana tamahine, i ana kau, i ana kaihe, i ana hipi, i tona teneti, i nga mea katoa hoki i a ia, a kawea ana ratou ki t e raorao o Akoro.

25 A nd Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

Na ka mea a Hohua, Na te aha koe i whakararu ai i a tatou? ka whakararu hoki a Ihowa i a koe i tenei ra. Na akina ana ia e Iharaira katoa ki te kamaka, a tahuna ana ki te ahi i muri iho i ta ratou akinga i a ratou ki te kamaka.

26 A nd they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

A whakapurangatia ana e ratou etahi kohatu ki runga i a ia, he nui te ra. Katahi ka tahuri a Ihowa i te muranga o tona riri. Na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi, Ko te raorao o Akoro a mohoa noa nei.
