Judges 1-3
Maori Bible
1 A, i muri iho i te matenga o Hohua, na ka ui nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Ko wai e matua haere mo matou ki runga ki nga Kanaani ki te whawhai ki a ratou?
2 Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ko Hura e haere: nana, kua hoatu e ahau te whenua ki tona ringa.
3 Na ka mea a Hura ki a Himiona ki tona tuakana, Hoake taua ki toku wahi, kia whawhai ai taua ki nga Kanaani; a ka haere ai hoki ahau i a koe ki tou wahi. Na haere ana raua ko Himiona.
4 A, ko te haerenga atu o Hura, ka homai e Ihowa nga Kanaani me nga Perihi ki o ratou ringa, a patua iho o ratou ki Peheke kotahi tekau mano tangata.
5 I rokohanga ano a Aronipeheke ki Peheke, a whawhai ana ki a ia, a patua iho nga Kanaani me nga Perihi.
6 Na ka rere a Aronipeheke, a whaia ana e ratou, a ka mau, na tapahia ana nga koromatua o ona ringa, o ona waewae.
7 Na ka mea a Aronipeheke, E whitu tekau nga kingi, he mea tapahi nga koromatua o o ratou ringa, o o ratou waewae, i kohi kai i raro i taku tepu: ko taku i mea ai, kua whakahokia mai e te Atua ki ahau. Na ka kawea ia ki Hiruharama, a mate iho ki re ira.
8 I tauria hoki a Hiruharama e nga tamariki a Hura, a horo ana i a ratou, patua iho e ratou ki te mata o te hoari, tahuna ake hoki e ratou te pa ki te ahi.
9 A muri iho ka haere ki raro nga tamariki a Hura ki te whawhai ki nga Kanaani i noho i te whenua pukepuke i te tonga, i te mania.
10 Na haere ana a Hura, whawhai ana ki nga Kanaani i noho ki Heperona: na, ko te ingoa o Heperona i mua ko Kiriata Arapa: patua iho e ratou a Hehai, a Ahimana, ratou ko Taramai.
11 Na ka haere atu ia i reira, ka whawhai kinga tangata o Repiri; a, ko te ingoa o Repiri i mua ko Kiriata Hepere:
12 Na ka mea a Karepe, Ko te tangata e patua ai a Kiriata Hepere, a e horo ai, ka hoatu e ahau taku tamahine, a Akaha hei wahine mana.
13 Na ka horo i a Otoniere tama a Kenaha teina o Karepe, a hoatu ana e ia tana tamahine, a Akaha hei wahine mana.
14 A, no taenga atu o taua wahine ki a ia, ka whakakiki i a ia kia tonoa he mara i tona papa; a ka marere iho ia ki raro i tona kaihe; na ka mea a Karepe ki a ia, He aha tau?
15 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Homai he manaakitanga moku, kei te tonga hoki te whenua i homai e koe moku; homai ano hoki etahi puna wai moku. Na hoatu ana e Karepe ki a ia nga puna o runga me nga puna o raro.
16 Na ka haere nga tamariki a te Keni, a te hungawai o Mohi, i te pa nikau, ratou ko nga tamariki a Hura, ki te koraha o Hura, ki te tonga o Arara, a haere ana, noho ana i roto i te iwi.
17 Na ka haere a Hura raua ko tona tuakana ko Himiona, a patua iho e ratou nga Kanaani i noho i Hepata, whakangaromia iho; na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua pa, ko Horema.
18 A i riro ano i a Hura a Kaha me tona rohe, a Ahakerono me tona rohe, a Ekerono me tona rohe.
19 A i a Hura a Ihowa, a peia atu ana e ia nga tangata o te whenua pukepuke; otiia kihai i taea e ia te pei nga tangata o te mania; no te mea he hariata rino a ratou.
20 I hoatu ano e ratou a Heperona ki a Karepe, i pera me ta Mohi i korero ai: a peia atu ana e ia i reira nga tama tokotoru a Anaka.
21 Ko nga Iepuhi ia i noho ki Hiruharama, kihai i peia atu e nga tamariki a Pineamine, na noho ana te Iepuhi i roto i nga tamariki a Pineamine ki Hiruharama a taea noatia tenei ra.
22 Me te whare ano o Hohepa, i haere atu ki te whawhai ki Peteere, a i a ratou a Ihowa.
23 A i tuteia a Peteere e te whare o Hohepa. Na, ko te ingoa o taua pa i mua ko Rutu.
24 Na ka kitea e nga kaiwhanga tetahi tangata e puta mai ana i te pa, a ka mea ki a ia, Tena, whakaaturia ki a matou te tomokanga atu ki te pa, a ka puta ta matou koha ki a koe.
25 Katahi ka whakaaturia e ia ki a ratou te tomokanga atu ki te pa, a patua iho e ratou te pa ki te mata o te hoari; ko taua tangata ia ratou ko tona hapu katoa i tukua atu e ratou.
26 Na haere ana taua tangata ki te whenua o nga Hiti, a hanga ana tetahi pa e ia, huaina iho te ingoa ko Rutu: ko tona ingoa ano tena a taea noatia tenei ra.
27 Otiia kihai i peia e Manahi nga tangata o Peteheana me ona pa ririki, o Taanaka me ona pa ririki, nga tangata ano hoki o Roro, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Ipireama, o ona pa ririki, nga tangata o Mekiro, o ona pa ririki: heoi ka mea nga Kanaa ni kia noho ki taua whenua.
28 A, no ka kaha haere a Iharaira, ka meinga e ratou nga Kanaani hei kaihomai takoha, kihai hoki ratou i peia rawatia atu.
29 Kihai ano hoki a Eparaima i pei atu i nga Kanaani i noho ki Ketere: heoi noho ana nga Kanaani ki Ketere i waenganui i a ratou.
30 Kihai a Hepurona i pei atu i nga tangata o Kitirono; i nga tangata ano hoki o Naharoro: heoi ka noho nga Kanaani i waenganui i a ratou, a meinga ana hei kaihomai takoha.
31 Kihai a Ahera i pei atu i nga tangata o Ako, i nga tangata ranei o Hairona, o Aharapa, o Akatipi, o Herepa, o Apiki, o Rehopo;
32 Na ka noho nga Aheri ki waenganui o nga Kanaani, o nga tangata whenua; no te mea kihai ratou i pei atu i a ratou.
33 Kihai a Napatari i pei atu i nga tangata o Petehemehe, i nga tangata hoki o Peteanata; heoi noho ana ia i waenganui o nga Kanaani, o nga tangata whenua: otiia i meinga nga tangata o Petehemehe, o Peteanata, hei kaihomai takoha ki a ratou.
34 Na i akina atu e nga Amori nga tamariki a Rana ki te whenua pukepuke: kihai hoki ratou i tukua kia heke ki te mania.
35 Heoi ka mea nga Amori kia noho ki Maunga Herehe, ki Aitarono, ki Haarapimi: otiia i kaha ano te ringa o te whare o Hohepa, a ka meinga ratou hei kaihomai takoha.
36 Na ko te rohe ki nga Amori kei te pinakitanga ki Akarapimi; kei te kamaka a ahu whakarunga.
2 Na ka haere ake te anahera a Ihowa i Kirikara ki Pokimi, a ka mea, Naku koutou i haere mai ai i Ihipa, naku hoki koutou i kawe mai ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o koutou matua; i mea ano ahau, E kore e taka taku kawenata ki a koutou.
2 Kaua ano koutou e whakarite kawenata ki nga tangata o tenei whenua; me pakaru e koutou a ratou aata. Heoi kihai nei koutou i rongo ki toku reo. He aha tenei mahi a koutou?
3 Koia hoki ahau ka mea nei, E kore ahau e pei atu i a ratou i to koutou aroaro; a ka waiho ratou ano he tataramoa ki o koutou kaokao; ko o ratou atua hoki hei rore mo koutou.
4 A, no te korerotanga a te anahera a Ihowa i enei kupu ki nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira, ka ara te reo o te iwi, ka tangi.
5 Na huaina iho e ratou te ingoa o taua wahi ko Pokimi: i patu whakahere ano hoki ratou ma Ihowa ki reira.
6 Na, i ta Hohua tukunga i te iwi kia haere, ka haere nga tamariki a Iharaira ki tona wahi, ki tona wahi, ki te tango i te whenua.
7 A i mahi te iwi ki a Ihowa i nga ra katoa o Hohua, i nga ra katoa ano o nga kaumatua i roa ake nei o ratou ra i o Hohua, i kite nei i nga mahi nunui katoa a Ihowa i meinga e ia mo Iharaira.
8 Na ka mate a Hohua tama a Nunu, te pononga a Ihowa, kotahi rau kotahi tekau ona tau.
9 A tanumia iho ia e ratou ki te rohe o tona wahi, ki Timinataherehe, ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ki te taha ki te raki o Maunga Kaaha.
10 Na ka kohia ano hoki taua whakatupuranga katoa ki o ratou matua: a ka ara ake tetahi whakatupuranga ke i muri i a ratou, kihai nei i mohio ki a Ihowa, ki nga mahi ano hoki i mahia e ia mo Iharaira.
11 Na ka mahi nga tamariki a Iharaira i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa, ka mahi hoki ki nga Paara.
12 A whakarerea ake e ratou a Ihowa, te Atua o o ratou matua i whakaputa mai nei i a ratou i te whenua o Ihipa, a haere ana ki te whai i nga atua ke, i nga atua o nga iwi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o ratou, a koropiko ana ki a ratou, na ka mea ra tou i a Ihowa kia riri.
13 Heoi whakarere ana ratou i a Ihowa, a mahi ana ki a Paara, ki te Ahataroto hoki.
14 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a tukua ana ratou e ia ki nga ringa o nga kaipahua hei pahua i a ratou, a hokona ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha; kihai hoki i taea e ratou i muri iho te tu ake i te aroaro o o ratou hoariri.
15 I o ratou haerenga katoa, i runga i a ratou te ringa o Ihowa mo te kino; i rite hoki ki ta Ihowa i korero ai, ki ta Ihowa hoki i oati ai ki a ratou; na te taea to ratou raru.
16 I whakaara ake ano a Ihowa i etahi kaiwhakarite hei whakaora i a ratou i te ringa o o ratou kaipahua.
17 Heoi kihai ano ratou i whakarongo ki o ratou kaiwhakarite; na kei te puremu, kei te whai ki nga atua ke, kei te koropiko ki a ratou: hohoro tonu to ratou peka ke i te ara i haere ai o ratou matua, ara i te whakarongo ki nga whakahau a Ihowa; kih ai ratou i pera.
18 A i nga wa i whakaara ake ai a Ihowa i nga kaiwhakarite mo ratou, na i te kaiwhakarite a Ihowa, a whakaorangia ake ratou e ia i te ringa o o ratou hoariri i nga ra katoa o te kaiwhakarite: i puta ke hoki te whakaaro o Ihowa i a ratou e aue ana i o ratou kaitukino, i o ratou kaiwhakatoi.
19 A, no te matenga o te kaiwhakarite, ka hoki ratou ki muri, nui atu to ratou takanga i to o ratou matua; i haere hoki ki te whai i nga atua ke, mahi ai ki a ratou, koropiko ai ki a ratou; kihai i mutu a ratou mahi, me ta ratou tikanga pakeke.
20 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a ka mea ia, Na, kua takahia e tenei iwi taku kawenata i whakahaua e ahau ki o ratou matua; kihai ano i rongo ki toku reo;
21 Na, e kore ano ahau e pei atu i tetahi tangata i mua i a ratou o nga iwi i mahue iho i a Hohua i tona matenga.
22 Kia ai ratou hei whakamatautau maku i a Iharaira, e mau ranei ki te ara o Ihowa haere ai; e rite ranei te mau ki ta o ratou matua, kahore ranei.
23 Na ka waiho era iwi e Ihowa, kihai hoki i hohoro te peia atu; kihai ano hoki i tukua ki te ringa o Hohua.
3 Na ko nga iwi enei i waiho e Ihowa ko ratou hei whakamatautau i a Iharaira, ara ko nga mea o Iharaira kihai i mohio ki nga pakanga katoa o Kanaana;
2 Mo nga whakatupuranga ano ia o nga tamariki a Iharaira kia mohio, kia ako ki te whawhai, ara mo te hunga kihai i mohio ki tera i mua;
3 Na, ko nga rangatira tokorima o nga Pirihitini, ko nga Kanaani katoa, ko nga Haironi ratou ko nga Hiwi i noho i Maunga Repanona, i Maunga Paaraheremona a tae noa ki te haerenga atu ki Hamata.
4 Ko ratou hei whakamatautau mo Iharaira, kia mohiotia ai e rongo ranei ratou ki nga whakahau a Ihowa i whakahaua e ia ki o ratou matua, he mea whakapuaki na Mohi.
5 Na ka noho nga tamariki a Iharaira ki waenganui o nga Kanaani, o nga Hiti, o nga Amori, o nga Perihi, o nga Hiwi, o nga Iepuhi:
6 A ka tango i a ratou tamahine hei wahine ma ratou, ka hoatu hoki i a ratou tamahine ki a ratou tama, ka mahi ano hoki ki o ratou atua.
7 Na kua mahi nga tamariki a Iharaira i te kino i te tirohanga o Ihowa, wareware ake ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua, mahi ana hoki ki nga Paara, ki te Ahataroto.
8 Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a hokona atu ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o Kuhanarihataimi kingi o Mehopotamia. Na e waru nga tau i mahi ai nga tama a Iharaira ki a Kuhanarihataimi.
9 A, no te tangihanga a nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ka whakaarahia ake e Ihowa he kaiwhakaora mo nga tamariki a Iharaira, nana ratou i whakaora; ara a Otoniere tama a Kenaha teina o Karepe.
10 Na i tau iho ki runga i a ia te wairua o Ihowa, a i whakawa ia mo Iharaira; i haere hoki ki te whawhai; a homai ana e Ihowa ki tona ringa a Kuhanarihataimi kingi o Mehopotamia: na kua kaha tona ringa ki te whawhai ki a Kuhanarihataimi.
11 A e wha tekau nga tau i okioki ai te whenua i te whawhai. Na ka mate a Otoniere, tama a Kenaha.
12 Na ka mahi kino ano nga tama a Iharaira i te tirohanga a Ihowa, a ka whakakahangia e Ihowa a Ekerona kingi o Moapa ki te whawhai ki a Iharaira, mo ratou i mahi kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa.
13 Na ka huihuia e ia ki a ia nga tamariki a Amona ratou ko Amareke, a haere ana, patua ana e ia a Iharaira, a tangohia ana e ia te pa nikau.
14 A kotahi tekau ma waru nga tau i mahi ai nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ekerona, kingi o Moapa.
15 No te tangihanga ia a nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ka whakaarahia ake e Ihowa he kaiwhakaora mo ratou, a Ehuru tama a Kera, he Pineamini, he tangata ringa maui; na ka hoatu e nga tama a Iharaira he takoha kia kawea e ia ki a Ekerona kingi o M oapa.
16 Otiia kua oti i a Ehuru tetahi hoari te hanga mana; e rua ona mata, kotahi whatianga te roa; na ka whitikiria e ia i roto i ona kakahu ki tona huha matau.
17 Na ko tana tukunga i te takoha ki a Ekerona kingi o Moapa; na he tangata tetere rawa a Ekerona.
18 A ka mutu ta tera tuku i te takoha ka tonoa atu e ia te hunga i mauria mai ai te takoha.
19 Ko ia tonu ia i hoki whakamuri atu i nga whakapakoko i Kirikara, ka mea, He kupu huna taku ki a koe, e te kingi. Na ka mea tera, Whakarongoa! Na mawehe atu ana i a ia te hunga katoa e tu ana i tona taha.
20 Na ka haere atu a Ehuru ki a ia; a e noho ana ia ko ia anake i tona ruma raumati. Na ka mea a Ehuru, He kupu na te Atua taku ki a koe. Na ka whakatika ia i tona nohoanga.
21 Na ka torona e Ehuru tona ringa maui, ka mau ki te hoari i tona huha matau, werohia ana ki tona kopu.
22 A ngoto tahi atu ana te kakau me te mata, a tutakina iho te mata e te ngako, kihai i unuhia mai te hoari i roto i tona kopu, a puta atu ana ki muri.
23 Na ka haere atu a Ehuru na te whakamahau, a tutakina atu ana e ia nga tatau o te ruma ki a ia, kiia iho hoki.
24 A, i tona haerenga atu, ka haere mai nga pononga a tera, na, i to ratou kitenga kua kiia nga tatau o te ruma, ka mea ratou, He pono kei te uhi ia i ona waewae i te ruma raumati.
25 Tatari noa ratou a ka whakama: na, kihai ia i whakapuare i nga tatau o te ruma; katahi ratou ka mau ki te ki, a whakapuaretia ana. Na, ko to ratou ariki kua hinga ki te whenua, kua mate.
26 Ko Ehuru ia i mawhiti i a ratou e tatari roa ana, a kua tae ki tua i nga whakapakoko, kua mawhiti ki Heirata.
27 A, no tona taenga, ka whakatangihia e ia te tetere ki te whenua maunga o Eparaima, a heke ana nga tamariki a Iharaira i runga i te maunga hei hoa mona, ko ia hoki i mua i a ratou.
28 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere mai i muri i ahau, kua homai hoki e Ihowa nga Moapi, o koutou hoariri ki o koutou ringa. Na heke ana ratou i muri i a ia, a ka riro mai i a ratou nga whitinga atu o Horano i nga Moapi; kihai hoki i tukua tetahi tan gata kia whiti atu.
29 Na patua iho e ratou nga Moapi i taua wa, me te mea tekau mano nga tangata, te hunga pakari anake, nga marohirohi katoa; kihai hoki tetahi i mawhiti.
30 Na ka hinga a Moapa i taua ra i te ringa o Iharaira. A e waru tekau nga tau i okioki ai te whenua i te pakanga.
31 A i muri i a ia ko Hamakara tama a Anata, a patua iho e ia nga Pirihitini, e ono rau tangata, ki te wero kau: na ka ora ano a Iharaira i a ia.
Judges 1-3
New International Version
Judges 1-3
New International Version
Israel Fights the Remaining Canaanites(A)
1 After the death(B) of Joshua, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Who of us is to go up first(C) to fight against the Canaanites?(D)”
2 The Lord answered, “Judah(E) shall go up; I have given the land into their hands.(F)”
3 The men of Judah then said to the Simeonites their fellow Israelites, “Come up with us into the territory allotted to us, to fight against the Canaanites. We in turn will go with you into yours.” So the Simeonites(G) went with them.
4 When Judah attacked, the Lord gave the Canaanites and Perizzites(H) into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.(I) 5 It was there that they found Adoni-Bezek(J) and fought against him, putting to rout the Canaanites and Perizzites. 6 Adoni-Bezek fled, but they chased him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7 Then Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back(K) for what I did to them.” They brought him to Jerusalem,(L) and he died there.
8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem(M) also and took it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
9 After that, Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country,(N) the Negev(O) and the western foothills. 10 They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron(P) (formerly called Kiriath Arba(Q)) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.(R) 11 From there they advanced against the people living in Debir(S) (formerly called Kiriath Sepher).
12 And Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Aksah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.” 13 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him in marriage.
14 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him[a] to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”
15 She replied, “Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.(T)
16 The descendants of Moses’ father-in-law,(U) the Kenite,(V) went up from the City of Palms[b](W) with the people of Judah to live among the inhabitants of the Desert of Judah in the Negev near Arad.(X)
17 Then the men of Judah went with the Simeonites(Y) their fellow Israelites and attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they totally destroyed[c] the city. Therefore it was called Hormah.[d](Z) 18 Judah also took[e] Gaza,(AA) Ashkelon(AB) and Ekron—each city with its territory.
19 The Lord was with(AC) the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country,(AD) but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had chariots fitted with iron.(AE) 20 As Moses had promised, Hebron(AF) was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak.(AG) 21 The Benjamites, however, did not drive out(AH) the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem;(AI) to this day the Jebusites live there with the Benjamites.
22 Now the tribes of Joseph(AJ) attacked Bethel,(AK) and the Lord was with them. 23 When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz),(AL) 24 the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, “Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well.(AM)” 25 So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared(AN) the man and his whole family. 26 He then went to the land of the Hittites,(AO) where he built a city and called it Luz,(AP) which is its name to this day.
27 But Manasseh did not(AQ) drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor(AR) or Ibleam(AS) or Megiddo(AT) and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites(AU) were determined to live in that land. 28 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely.(AV) 29 Nor did Ephraim(AW) drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer,(AX) but the Canaanites continued to live there among them.(AY) 30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, so these Canaanites lived among them, but Zebulun did subject them to forced labor. 31 Nor did Asher(AZ) drive out those living in Akko or Sidon(BA) or Ahlab or Akzib(BB) or Helbah or Aphek(BC) or Rehob.(BD) 32 The Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they did not drive them out. 33 Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh(BE) or Beth Anath(BF); but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced laborers for them. 34 The Amorites(BG) confined the Danites(BH) to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain.(BI) 35 And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres,(BJ) Aijalon(BK) and Shaalbim,(BL) but when the power of the tribes of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labor. 36 The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion Pass(BM) to Sela(BN) and beyond.(BO)
The Angel of the Lord at Bokim
2 The angel of the Lord(BP) went up from Gilgal(BQ) to Bokim(BR) and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt(BS) and led you into the land I swore to give to your ancestors.(BT) I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you,(BU) 2 and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land,(BV) but you shall break down their altars.(BW)’ Yet you have disobeyed(BX) me. Why have you done this? 3 And I have also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you;(BY) they will become traps(BZ) for you, and their gods will become snares(CA) to you.’”
4 When the angel of the Lord had spoken these things to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud,(CB) 5 and they called that place Bokim.[f](CC) There they offered sacrifices to the Lord.
Disobedience and Defeat(CD)
6 After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to their own inheritance. 7 The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.(CE)
8 Joshua son of Nun,(CF) the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten. 9 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres[g](CG) in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.(CH) 11 Then the Israelites did evil(CI) in the eyes of the Lord(CJ) and served the Baals.(CK) 12 They forsook the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods(CL) of the peoples around them.(CM) They aroused(CN) the Lord’s anger(CO) 13 because they forsook(CP) him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.(CQ) 14 In his anger(CR) against Israel the Lord gave them into the hands(CS) of raiders who plundered(CT) them. He sold them(CU) into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.(CV) 15 Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the Lord was against them(CW) to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.(CX)
16 Then the Lord raised up judges,[h](CY) who saved(CZ) them out of the hands of these raiders. 17 Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted(DA) themselves to other gods(DB) and worshiped them.(DC) They quickly turned(DD) from the ways of their ancestors, who had been obedient to the Lord’s commands.(DE) 18 Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved(DF) them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the Lord relented(DG) because of their groaning(DH) under those who oppressed and afflicted(DI) them. 19 But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt(DJ) than those of their ancestors,(DK) following other gods and serving and worshiping them.(DL) They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn(DM) ways.
20 Therefore the Lord was very angry(DN) with Israel and said, “Because this nation has violated the covenant(DO) I ordained for their ancestors and has not listened to me, 21 I will no longer drive out(DP) before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died. 22 I will use them to test(DQ) Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their ancestors did.” 23 The Lord had allowed those nations to remain; he did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua.(DR)
3 These are the nations the Lord left to test(DS) all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan 2 (he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience): 3 the five(DT) rulers of the Philistines,(DU) all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites(DV) living in the Lebanon mountains from Mount Baal Hermon(DW) to Lebo Hamath.(DX) 4 They were left to test(DY) the Israelites to see whether they would obey the Lord’s commands, which he had given their ancestors through Moses.
5 The Israelites lived(DZ) among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,(EA) Hivites and Jebusites.(EB) 6 They took their daughters(EC) in marriage and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.(ED)

7 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord; they forgot the Lord(EE) their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.(EF) 8 The anger of the Lord burned against Israel so that he sold(EG) them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim(EH) king of Aram Naharaim,[i](EI) to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years. 9 But when they cried out(EJ) to the Lord, he raised up for them a deliverer,(EK) Othniel(EL) son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, who saved them. 10 The Spirit of the Lord came on him,(EM) so that he became Israel’s judge[j] and went to war. The Lord gave Cushan-Rishathaim(EN) king of Aram(EO) into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him. 11 So the land had peace(EP) for forty years,(EQ) until Othniel son of Kenaz(ER) died.
Ehud
12 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord,(ES) and because they did this evil the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab(ET) power over Israel. 13 Getting the Ammonites(EU) and Amalekites(EV) to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms.[k](EW) 14 The Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moab(EX) for eighteen years.
15 Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer(EY)—Ehud(EZ), a left-handed(FA) man, the son of Gera the Benjamite. The Israelites sent him with tribute(FB) to Eglon king of Moab. 16 Now Ehud(FC) had made a double-edged sword about a cubit[l] long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. 17 He presented the tribute(FD) to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man.(FE) 18 After Ehud had presented the tribute, he sent on their way those who had carried it. 19 But on reaching the stone images near Gilgal he himself went back to Eglon and said, “Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you.”
The king said to his attendants, “Leave us!” And they all left.
20 Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his palace[m](FF) and said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king rose(FG) from his seat, 21 Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword(FH) from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly. 22 Even the handle sank in after the blade, and his bowels discharged. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it. 23 Then Ehud went out to the porch[n]; he shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.
24 After he had gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, “He must be relieving himself(FI) in the inner room of the palace.” 25 They waited to the point of embarrassment,(FJ) but when he did not open the doors of the room, they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their lord fallen to the floor, dead.
26 While they waited, Ehud got away. He passed by the stone images and escaped to Seirah. 27 When he arrived there, he blew a trumpet(FK) in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills, with him leading them.
28 “Follow me,” he ordered, “for the Lord has given Moab,(FL) your enemy, into your hands.(FM)” So they followed him down and took possession of the fords of the Jordan(FN) that led to Moab; they allowed no one to cross over. 29 At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all vigorous and strong; not one escaped. 30 That day Moab(FO) was made subject to Israel, and the land had peace(FP) for eighty years.
Shamgar
31 After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath,(FQ) who struck down six hundred(FR) Philistines(FS) with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel.

4 Na, ko Ihu, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, hoki atu ana i Horano, a ka arahina e te Wairua i te koraha,
2 Mo nga ra e wha tekau, whakamatautauria ai e te rewera. Kihai ia i kai i tetahi mea i aua ra; a, no ka pahemo, ka hiakai ia.
3 Na ka mea te rewera ki a ia, Ki te mea ko te tama koe a te Atua, kiia iho tenei kohatu kia meinga hei taro.
4 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Kua oti te tuhituhi, E kore e ora te tangata i te taro kau, engari a nga kupu katoa a te Atua.
5 Katahi ka arahina ia e ia ki runga, a mea kau iho kua whakakitea ki a ia nga rangatiratanga katoa o te ao.
6 Ka mea te rewera ki a ia, Maku e hoatu ki a koe tenei rangatiratanga katoa, me te kororia o enei mea: kua tukua hoki ki ahau; a ka hoatu e ahau ki taku e pai ai.
7 Na, ki te koropiko koe ki toku aroaro, mou katoa.
8 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ia, ka mea, Kua oti te tuhituhi, Me koropiko koe ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua, me mahi ano ki a ia anake.
9 Na ka kawea ia e ia ki Hiruharama, a whakaturia ana ki runga ki te keokeonga o te temepara, na ka mea ia ki a ia, Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, rere atu i konei ki raro:
10 Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka korerotia iho koe e ia ki ana anahera, kia tiakina koe:
11 A, ma ratou koe e hoki ake ki o ratou ringa, kei tutuki tou waewae ki te kohatu.
12 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Kua takoto te korero, Aua e whakamatautau ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua.
13 A ka mutu katoa nga whakamatautauranga a te rewera, ka mawehe atu i a ia mo tetahi wahi.
14 Na ka hoki a Ihu i runga i te kaha o te Wairua ki Kariri: a haere ana tona rongo a puta noa i nga wahi tata katoa.
15 Ka whakaako ia i roto i o ratou whare karakia, me te whakakororia te katoa i a ia.
16 Na ka haere ia ki Nahareta, ki te wahi i whangaia ai ia: a ka tomo i te ra hapati ki te whare karakia, ko tana hanga hoki ia, ka whakatika ki te korero pukapuka.
17 A ka hoatu ki a ia te pukapuka a Ihaia poropiti. A, no ka wherahia te pukapuka, ka kitea e ia te wahi i tenei tuhituhinga,
18 Kei ahau te wairua o te Ariki, nana nei hoki ahau i whakawahi, hei kauwhau i te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore; kua tonoa ahau e ia ki te kauwhau ki nga herehere, kia haere noa, ki nga matapo kia titiro, ki te tuku i te hunga e maru ana kia haere noa atu,
19 Ki te kauwhau i te tau manakohanga mai a te Ariki.
20 Na ka kopia e ia te pukapuka, ka hoatu ki te kaitiaki, a noho ana, Na ka titiro matatau ki a ia nga kanohi o te hunga katoa i roto i te whare karakia.
21 Katahi ia ka anga ka korero ki a ratou, Nonaianei, i o koutou taringa e whakarongo mai nei, i mana ai tenei karaipiture.
22 A i whakapai ratou katoa ki a ia i miharo ki nga kupu pai i puta i tona mangai. Ka mea ratou, Ehara ianei tenei i te tama a Hohepa?
23 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Tera pea e puaki mai i a koutou tenei kupu whakarite ki ahau, E rata, rongoa koe i a koe ano: ko nga mea i rongo ai matou kua meinga ki Kaperenauma, meinga hoki ki konei, ki tou whenua.
24 I mea ano ia, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore te poropiti e manakohia i tona ake whenua.
25 Otira he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, He tokomaha nga pouaru i roto i a Iharaira i nga ra i a Iraia, i te rangi kua oti te kopani i nga tau e toru i nga marama e ono, i te matekaitanga nui o te whenua katoa;
26 Heoi kihai a Iraia i tonoa ki tetahi o ratou, ki a Harepata anake o Hairona, ki te wahine pouaru.
27 He tokomaha hoki nga repera i roto i a Iharaira, i nga ra o Eriha poropiti: a kihai tetahi o ratou i whakamakia, ko Naamana anake, ko te Hiriani.
28 A ki tonu i te riri te hunga katoa i te whare karakia, i te rongonga ki enei mea;
29 Na ko to ratou whakatikanga ake, ka maka i a ia ki waho o te pa, a arahina ana ia ki te pari o te puke i hanga ai to ratou pa, kia whakataka ai ia ki raro.
30 Otira i tika ia ra waenganui o ratou a haere ana.

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(A)
4 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit,(B) left the Jordan(C) and was led by the Spirit(D) into the wilderness, 2 where for forty days(E) he was tempted[a] by the devil.(F) He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God,(G) tell this stone to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’[b]”(H)
5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.(I) 6 And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me,(J) and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7 If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
8 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’[c]”(K)
9 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you
to guard you carefully;
11 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[d]”(L)
12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[e]”(M)
13 When the devil had finished all this tempting,(N) he left him(O) until an opportune time.
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
14 Jesus returned to Galilee(P) in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.(Q) 15 He was teaching in their synagogues,(R) and everyone praised him.
16 He went to Nazareth,(S) where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue,(T) as was his custom. He stood up to read,(U) 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,(V)
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news(W) to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[f](X)
20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.(Y) The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled(Z) in your hearing.”
22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.(AA)
23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your hometown(AB) what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.’”(AC)
24 “Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown.(AD) 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.(AE) 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon.(AF) 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy[g] in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”(AG)
28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town,(AH) and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.(AI)
