Deuteronomy 1

1 These bee the wordes which Moses spake vnto all Israel, on this side Iorden in the wildernesse, in the plaine, ouer against the red Sea, betweene Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.

Ko eni ʻae ngaahi lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Mōsese ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he potu mai ʻo Sioatani ʻi he toafa, ʻi he toafa ʻoku hangatonu ki he tahi Kulokula, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Palani, mo Tofeli, mo Lepani, mo Heseloti, mo Tesapi.

2 There are eleuen dayes iourney from Horeb vnto Kadesh-barnea, by the way of mout Seir.

(Ko e fonongaʻanga ia ʻoe ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma taha mei Holepi ʻi he hala ʻoe moʻunga ko Seia ki Ketesi-pania.)

3 And it came to passe in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the fourtieth yeere that Moses spake vnto the children of Israel according vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto them,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fāngofulu taʻu, ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻuluaki [ʻaho ]ʻoe māhina, naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau atu ʻe Sihova kiate ia ke tala kiate kinautolu;

4 After that he had slaine Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei.

Hili ʻene tāmateʻi ʻa Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesiponi, mo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi ʻAsitelote ʻi ʻEtilei:

5 On this side Iorden in the lande of Moab began Moses to declare this lawe, saying,

‌ʻI he potu mai ʻo Sioatani, ʻI he fonua ʻo Moape, naʻe kamata fakahā ʻe Mōsese ʻae fono ni, ʻo pehē,

6 The Lord our God spake vnto vs in Horeb, saying, Ye haue dwelt long ynough in this mount,

“Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ʻi Holepi, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mou nofo fuoloa lelei ʻi he moʻunga ni:

7 Turne you and depart, and goe vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, and vnto all places neere thereunto in the plaine, in the mountaine, or in the valley: both Southwarde, and to the Sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon: euen vnto the great riuer, the riuer Perath.

Mou tafoki, ʻo hiki homou fononga, pea ʻalu ki he moʻunga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, pea ki he ngaahi potu ofi ki ai, ʻi he tafangafanga, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi he teleʻa, pea ʻi he potu tonga, pea ʻi he potu matātahi, ki he fonua ʻoe kau Kēnani, pea ki Lepanoni, ki he vaitafe lahi, ʻae vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.

8 Beholde, I haue set the land before you: go in and possesse that land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue vnto them and to their seede after them.

Vakai, kuo u tuku ʻae fonua ki homou ʻao: mou ʻalu ki ai ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻe Sihova ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko ʻEpalahame mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope, ke foaki ia kiate kinautolu, pea ki honau hako kimui ʻiate kinautolu.’”

9 And I spake vnto you the same time, saying, I am not able to beare you my selfe alone:

Pea ne u lea kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u mafai ke kātakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻeau pe:

10 The Lord your God hath multiplied you: and beholde, ye are this day as the starres of heauen in nomber:

Kuo fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea, vakai, ʻoku mou tatau he ʻaho ni mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi hono lahi.

11 (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are, and blesse you, as he hath promised you)

(Kae ʻofa ke fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ke laui liunga afe ʻa homou tokolahi ni, pea tāpuakiʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ne talaʻofa kiate kimoutolu!)

12 Howe can I alone beare your combrance and your charge, and your strife?

‌ʻE fēfē ʻeku faʻa fai ke kātaki ʻeau pe hoʻomou fakafiu mo hoʻomou kavenga, mo hoʻomou fekeʻikeʻi?

13 Bring you men of wisedome and of vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer you:

Mou fili ha kau tangata poto, ʻoku loto matala, ʻaia kuo ʻiloa ʻi homou ngaahi faʻahinga, pea te u fakanofo ʻakinautolu kenau puleʻi ʻakimoutolu.

14 Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded vs to doe.

Pea ne mou tala mai kiate au, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa kuo ke lea ki ai ʻoku lelei ia ke mau fai.”

15 So I tooke the chiefe of your tribes wise and knowen men, and made them rulers ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fiftie, and captaines ouer tenne, and officers among your tribes.

Pea ne u fili mai ʻae houʻeiki ʻo homou ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae kau tangata poto, pea ongoongo, ʻo fakanofo ʻakinautolu ke puleʻi ʻakimoutolu, ko e kau pule ki he ngaahi toko afe, mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi toko nimangofulu, mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi toko hongofulu, mo e kau matāpule ʻi homou ngaahi faʻahinga.

16 And I charged your iudges that same time, saying, Heare the controuersies betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

“Pea ne u fekau ki hoʻomou kau fakamaau ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Mou fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻa homou ngaahi kāinga, pea fakamaau māʻoniʻoni ki he tangata kotoa pē mo hono tokoua, pea mo e muli ʻoku ʻiate ia.

17 Ye shall haue no respect of person in iudgement, but shall heare the small aswell as the great: yee shall not feare the face of man: for the iudgement is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring vnto me, and I will heare it.

‌ʻOua naʻa mou filifilimānako ki he kakai ʻi he fakamaau; ka te mou fanongo ki he siʻi pea mo e lahi; ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē ki he mata ʻoe tangata; he ʻoku ʻae ʻOtua ʻae fakamaau: pea ko e meʻa ʻoku faingataʻa kiate kimoutolu, ʻomi ia kiate au, pea te u fanongo ki ai.’

18 Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should doe.

Pea ne u fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ke mou fai.

19 Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wildernesse (as yee haue seene) by the way of the mountaine of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded vs: and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

“Pea ʻi heʻetau hiki mei Holepi, naʻa tau ʻalu ai pe ʻi he fuʻu toafa lahi ko ia mo fakamanavahē, ʻaia naʻa mou mamata ʻi he hala ʻoe moʻunga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu; pea naʻa tau hoko ki Ketesi-pania.

20 And I saide vnto you, Yee are come vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doeth giue vnto vs.

Pea ne u pehē kiate kimoutolu, Kuo mou hoko ki he moʻunga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu.

21 Beholde, the Lord thy God hath layde the land before thee: go vp and possesse it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath saide vnto thee: feare not, neither be discouraged.

Vakai, kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fonua ʻi ho ʻao: ʻalu hake ʻo maʻu ia, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai kiate koe; ʻoua naʻa manavahē, pe loto vaivai.

22 Then ye came vnto me euery one, and said, We wil send men before vs, to search vs out the land and to bring vs word againe, what way we must go vp by, and vnto what cities we shall come.

“Pea naʻa mou ʻunuʻunu mai kotoa pē kiate au ʻo mou pehē, Te mau fekau ʻae kau tangata ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimautolu, kenau asiasi ʻae fonua, pea toe fakahā mai ʻae hala ʻoku totonu ke mau ʻalu hake ai, pea ko e kolo fē ia te mau hoko ki ai.

23 So the saying pleased me well, and I tooke twelue men of you, of euery tribe one.

Pea ne u fiemālie lahi ʻi he lea ko ia pea ne u fili ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo tautau tokotaha ʻi he faʻahinga.

24 Who departed, and went vp into the mountaine, and came vnto the riuer Eshcol, and searched out the land.

Pea naʻa nau afe ʻo ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga, pea ne nau hifo ki he potu tafangafanga ʻo ʻEsikoli, ʻonau vakai foli ia.

25 And tooke of the fruite of the land in their hands, and brought it vnto vs, and brought vs worde againe, and sayd, It is a good land, which the Lord our God doeth giue vs.

Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae fua ʻoe fonua ʻi honau nima, ʻonau ʻomi ia kiate kitautolu, ʻonau ʻomi mo e lea kiate kitautolu, ʻo pehē, Ko e fonua lelei ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu.

26 Notwithstanding, ye would not go vp, but were disobedient vnto the commandement of the Lord your God,

Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fie ʻalu hake ki ai, pea ne mou fai talangataʻa ki he fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua:

27 And murmured in your tentes, and sayd, Because the Lord hated vs, therefore hath hee brought vs out of the land of Egypt, to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy vs.

Pea naʻa mou lāunga, ʻi homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa ʻi he fehiʻa ʻa Sihova kiate kitautolu, ko ia kuo ne ʻomi ai ʻakitautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ke tukuange ʻakitautolu ki he nima ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ke fakaʻauha ʻakitautolu.

28 Whither shall we go vp? our brethren haue discouraged our hearts, saying, The people is greater, and taller then we: the cities are great and walled vp to heauen: and moreouer we haue seene the sonnes of the Anakims there.

Te tau ʻalu hake ki fē? Kuo fakavaivaiʻi homau loto ʻe homau ngaahi kāinga, ʻo pehē, ʻOku lahi hake mo lōloa ʻae kakai ʻiate kimautolu; ʻoku lahi ʻae ngaahi kolo pea ʻoku hoko hake ki he langi honau ʻā; kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻemau mamata ʻi ai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau ʻAnaki.

29 But I sayd vnto you, Dread not, nor be afrayd of them.

Pea ne u pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou lilika, pea ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē kiate kinautolu.

30 The Lord your God, who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes,

Ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻe tau ia maʻamoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi ʻIsipite maʻamoutolu ʻi homou ʻao:

31 And in the wildernesse, where thou hast seene how the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doeth beare his sonne, in all the way which ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto this place.

Pea ʻi he toafa, ʻaia naʻa ke mamata ai ki he fua ko e ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e fua ʻe he tangata hono foha, ʻi he hala kotoa pē naʻa mou ʻalu ai, kaeʻoua ke mou hoko ki he potu ni.

32 Yet for all this ye did not beleeue the Lord your God,

Ka ʻi he meʻa ni naʻe ʻikai te mou tui kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua,

33 Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tentes in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to goe, and in a cloude by day.

‌ʻAia naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he hala ʻiate kimoutolu, ke kumi ʻae potu ke fokotuʻu ai homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻi he afi ʻi he poʻuli, ke fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae hala ko ia te mou ʻalu ai, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻi he ʻaho.

34 Then the Lord heard the voyce of your wordes, and was wroth, and sware, saying,

Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi lea, pea naʻe houhau ia, pea ne fuakava, ʻo pehē,

35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this froward generation, see that good land, which I sware to giue vnto your fathers,

Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoe kau tangata ʻoe toʻutangata kovi ni te ne mamata ki he fonua lelei ko ia, ʻaia ne u fuakava ke foaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai,

36 Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh: he shall see it, and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord.

Ka ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune: ʻe mamata ia ki ai, pea te u foaki kiate ia, ʻae fonua kuo ne tuʻu ki ai, pea ki heʻene fānau ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene muimui angatonu kia Sihova.

37 Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not goe in thither,

Pea naʻe houhau ʻa Sihova kiate au foki koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, Ko koe foki ʻe ʻikai te ke hoko ki ai.

38 But Ioshua the sonne of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: incourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherite it.

Ka ko Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, ʻe ʻalu ia ki ai: ke ke tokoni kiate ia: he te ne pule ke maʻu ia ʻe ʻIsileli.

39 Moreouer, your children, which ye sayd should be a praye, and your sonnes, which in that day had no knowledge betweene good and euill, they shall go in thither, and vnto them wil I giue it, and they shall possesse it.

Ka ko hoʻomou ngaahi fānau iiki ʻakinautolu ne mou pehē ʻe hoko ʻo moʻua, mo hoʻomou ngaahi fānau, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae lelei mo e kovi, tenau hoko ki ai, pea te u foaki ia kiate kinautolu, pea tenau maʻu ia.

40 But as for you, turne backe, and take your iourney into the wildernesse by the way of the red Sea.

Ka ko kimoutolu, mou tafoki, pea hiki homou fononga ki he toafa ʻi he hala ʻoe Tahi Kulokula.

41 Then ye answered and sayd vnto me, We haue sinned against the Lord, we wil go vp, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded vs: and ye armed you euery man to the warre, and were ready to goe vp into the mountaine.

Pea naʻa mou lea ʻo pehē kiate au, Kuo mau fai angahala kia Sihova; te mau ʻalu hake ʻo tau, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fekau ʻe Sihova ko homau ʻOtua kiate kimautolu. Pea hili hoʻomou nonoʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene mahafutau kiate ia, naʻa mou teu pe ke ʻalu ki moʻunga.

42 But the Lord said vnto me, Say vnto them, Goe not vp, neither fight, (for I am not among you) least ye fall before your enemies.

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, Tala kiate kinautolu, ʻOua naʻa ʻalu hake, pea ʻoua naʻa tau; he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiate kimoutolu; telia naʻa teʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi fili.

43 And when I told you, ye would not heare, but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went vp into the mountaine.

“Pea ne u lea kiate kimoutolu; pea naʻe ʻikai te mou tui ki ai, ka naʻa mou angatuʻu ki he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻo ʻalu hake loto fielahi pe ki he moʻunga.

44 Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine came out against you, and chased you (as bees vse to doe) and destroied you in Seir, euen vnto Hormah.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he moʻunga ko homou tali, pea naʻa nau tuli ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he fanga pi, pea naʻe teʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻi Seia, ʻo aʻu ki Hoama.

45 And when ye came againe, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not heare your voyce, nor incline his eares vnto you.

Pea ne mou foki ʻo tangi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Sihova ki homou leʻo, pe fakaongo kiate kimoutolu.

46 So ye abode in Kadesh a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before.

Ko ia naʻa mou nofo ai ʻi Ketesi ʻo ʻaho lahi, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho naʻa mou nofo ʻi ai.
