< 約書亞記 23 >
1 以後上主使以色列同四周敵人平安無事,這樣過弓很長的時間,若蘇厄已年老,上了年紀,
Pea kuo fuoloange mo e tuku ʻe Sihova ʻae fiemālie ki ʻIsileli mei honau ngaahi fili naʻe tuʻu takatakai, mo ʻene fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa ʻa Siosiua, pea lahi hono taʻu.
2 便將全以色列人,他們的長老、首領、判官和官長召來,對他們說:「我已年老,上了年紀
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ke haʻu ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻa ʻenau kau mātuʻa, mo honau ngaahi ʻeiki, mo honau kau fakamaau, pea mo honau kau matāpule, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo u motuʻa pea lahi hoku taʻu:
3 你們都親眼見了上主你們的天主,為了你們對有的民族所做的一切;因為是上你們的天主在替你們作戰。
Pea kuo mou mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ni koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu; he ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ko ia ia kuo ne tau koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu.
4 你們看,我己用抽籤方式,將由約旦河起,直到日落之處的大海之間,所消滅和所剩下的各民族的土地,按照你們各支派,都分了你們作產業。
Vakai, kuo u vahevahe kiate kimoutolu ʻi he talotalo ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ni ʻoku toe, ko e tofiʻa ki homou ngaahi faʻahinga, mei Sioatani, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u fakaʻauha, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki ke Tahi Lahi ʻi lulunga.
5 上主你們的天主入將他們由你們面前趕走,使他們離開你們,叫你們承受他們的土地,一如上主你們的天主向你們所應許的。
Pea ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻe kapusi ʻe ia ʻakinautolu mei homou ʻao, ʻo fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu mei homou mata; pea te mou maʻu honau fonua, ʻo hangē ko e talaʻofa kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
6 因此,你們要更忠實謹守奉行梅瑟法律書上所記載的一切,不可偏左偏右,
Ko ia mou loto mālohi ʻaupito ke tauhi, pea ke fai ʻaia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ʻa Mōsese, ke ʻoua naʻa mou tafoki mei ai ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema;
7 不可與你們中間的異族往來,不可提起你們的神名,不可指著他們起誓,不可事奉那些神袛,也不可在你們面前跪拜。
Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mou kaumeʻa mo e ngaahi puleʻanga ni, ʻaia ʻoku toe ʻiate kimoutolu; pea ʻoua naʻa lea ki he hingoa ʻo honau ngaahi ʻotua, pe fekau ke fuakava ki ai, pe ke tauhi ʻakinautolu, pe punou hifo ʻakimoutolu kiate kinautolu:
8 反之,你們應依照你們直到到今天所行的,依附上主你們的天主,
Ka mou pikitai kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, hangē ko ia kuo mou fai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
9 因為是上主從你們中間趕走了那些強大的異族,直到今天,沒有人能抵抗你們,
He kuo kapusi atu ʻe Sihova mei homou ʻao ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi mo mālohi: ka ko kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe ha tangata ke tuʻu ʻi homou ʻao ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
10 你們一人能趕走千人,是因為上主你們的天主,照衪所應許的,親自為你們作戰。
ʻE tuli ʻe homou tokotaha ʻae toko afe: he ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ko ia ia ʻoku tau maʻamoutolu ʻo hangē ko ʻene fakahā kiate kimoutolu.
Ko ia mou vakai lahi kiate kimoutolu ke mou ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
12 如果你們背棄上主,依戀你們中間所剩餘的異族,同他們結婚,互相往來,
Telia ʻi hoʻomou tafoki ki mui ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha, ʻo pikitai ki hono toe ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ni ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe ʻo nofo kiate kimoutolu, pea mali mo kinautolu, ʻo feʻaluʻaki fakafelātani mo kinautolu:
13 你們就當知道,上主你們的天主必不從你們面前,趕走這個異族,你們必將成為你們的羅網和陷阱,打你們腰的鞭子,扎你們眼的芒刺,直到從上主你們的天主所賜給你們的這福地上,全被消滅。
Pea ke ʻilo pau ʻekimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai toe kapusi ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ha puleʻanga ʻe taha mei homou ʻao: ka tenau hoko ko e ngaahi hele, mo e ngaahi luo kiate kimoutolu, mo e ngaahi meʻa tā ki homou vakavaka, mo e ngaahi talaʻi ʻakau ʻi homou mata, ke mou ʻauha ai mei he fonua lelei ni ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
14 看我今天就要走世人必走的路,你們要一心一意地承認,上主你們的天主應許所賜給你們的話,沒有一句落空。
“Pea vakai, ko e ʻaho ni ʻoku ou ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻo māmani kotoa pē: pea ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻi homou loto kotoa pē, pea ʻi homou laumālie kotoa pē, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lelei kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu ʻeku ʻikai liʻaki ha meʻa ʻe taha; kuo fakahoko kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai liʻaki hano meʻa ʻe taha.
15 上主你們的天主對你們所應許的一切幸福,怎樣實行在你們身上,直到將你們從上主你們天主所賜與你們的這土地上消滅。
Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻo hangē kuo hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻaia naʻe talaʻofa ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu; ʻe pehē ʻae ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻene fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua lelei ni ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
16 如果你們違犯上主你們的天主與你們訂立的盟約,去事奉敬其他的神,上主必向你們大發忿怒,使你們迅速從你們的福地上消滅。
ʻI hoʻomou fai talangataʻa ki he fuakava ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ne fekau kiate kimoutolu, pea kuo mou ʻalu ʻo tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻo fakapunou hifo ʻakimoutolu ki ai: ʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou ʻauha vave mei he fonua lelei ʻaia kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu.”
