Joshua 22

1 Then Joshua calls for the Reubenite, and for the Gadite, and for the half-tribe of Manasseh,

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ke haʻu ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata, mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase,

2 and says to them, “You have kept the whole of that which Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded you, and you listen to my voice, to all that I have commanded you;

Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fai ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, pea kuo mou fai talangofua kiate au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻaku fekau kiate kimoutolu:

3 you have not left your brothers these many days to this day, and have kept the charge—the command of your God YHWH.

Naʻe ʻikai te mou liʻaki homou kāinga ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ka kuo mou tauhi ʻae enginaki ʻoe fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.

4 And now, your God YHWH has given rest to your brothers, as He spoke to them; and now, turn, and go for yourselves to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses, servant of YHWH, has given to you beyond the Jordan.

Pea ko eni, kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻae mālōlō ki homou kāinga ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa kiate kinautolu; ko ia ke mou liu atu ni, ʻo ʻalu ki homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki, pea ki he fonua ʻo homou tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.

5 Only, be very watchful to do the command and the Law which Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded you, to love your God YHWH, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and to cleave to Him, and to serve Him, with all your heart, and with all your soul.”

Ka mou faʻa vakai ʻo fai ki he fekau mo e fono, ʻaia naʻe fakapapau ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ke mou ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea ke ʻaʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau, pea ke mou pikitai kiate ia, pea ke mou tauhi ia ʻaki homou loto kotoa, pea mo homou laumālie kotoa.”

6 And Joshua blesses them, and sends them away, and they go to their tents.

Naʻe pehē ʻae tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua, ʻo ne fekau ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

7 And to the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses has given, in Bashan, and to its [other] half Joshua has given with their brothers beyond the Jordan westward; and also when Joshua has sent them away to their tents, then he blesses them,

Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ʻae tofiʻa ʻi Pesani; ka ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha naʻe foaki ʻe Siosiua fakataha mo honau kāinga ʻi he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani ki he potu lulunga. Pea ʻi he fekau ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua ke ʻalu foki ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, naʻa ne toki tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu,

8 and speaks to them, saying, “Turn back to your tents with great riches, and with very much livestock, with silver, and with gold, and with bronze, and with iron, and with very much raiment; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.”

Pea lea ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, Toe ʻalu mo e koloa lahi ki homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki, mo e fanga manu lahi, mo e siliva, mo e koula, mo e palasa, mo e ʻaione, pea mo e ngaahi kofu lahi: mou vahevahe ʻae vete ʻo homou ngaahi fili ki homou kāinga.

9 And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, turn back and go from the sons of Israel out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, in which they have possession, according to the command of YHWH, by the hand of Moses;

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻonau ʻalu mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Sailo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, kenau ʻalu ki he fonua ʻo Kiliati, ki he fonua ʻo honau tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻa nau maʻu, ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.

10 and they come to the districts of the Jordan, which [are] in the land of Canaan, and the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, build an altar there by the Jordan—a great altar in appearance.

Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki he veʻe Sioatani, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ʻae ʻesifeilaulau ofi ki Sioatani, ʻae ʻesifeilaulau lahi ke vakai ki ai.

11 And the sons of Israel hear, saying, “Behold, the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, have built the altar at the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the districts of the Jordan, at the passage of the sons of Israel.”

Pea naʻe fanongo ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he lau, “Vakai, kuo langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ʻo hanga atu ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻi he veʻe Sioatani, ʻi he aʻaʻanga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”

12 And the sons of Israel hear, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel is assembled at Shiloh, to go up against them to war;

Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe fakataha ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Sailo, koeʻuhi kenau ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻakinautolu.

13 and the sons of Israel send to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh—to the land of Gilead—Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest,

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he fānau ʻa Lupeni, mo e fānau ʻa Kata, pea ki he vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻi he fonua ko Kiliati, ʻa Finiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki,

14 and ten princes with him, one prince—one prince for a house of a father, for all the tribes of Israel, and each of them a head of a house of their fathers, for the thousands of Israel.

Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ʻeiki ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻae ʻeiki ʻe taha ʻi he fale ʻeiki taki taha ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻa nau taki taha ʻeiki ia ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻi he ngaahi toko afe ʻo ʻIsileli.

15 And they come to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and speak with them, saying,

Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea ki he fānau ʻa Kata, pea ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ki he fonua ko Kiliati, pea naʻa nau lea kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,

16 “Thus said all the congregation of YHWH: What [is] this trespass which you have trespassed against the God of Israel, to turn back today from after YHWH, by your building an altar for yourselves, for your rebelling today against YHWH?

‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe he fakataha kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa hala ni kuo mou fai ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke tafoki he ʻaho ni mei he muimui ʻia Sihova, ʻi hoʻomou langa kiate kimoutolu ha feilaulauʻanga, koeʻuhi ke mou fai angatuʻu he ʻaho ni kia Sihova?

17 Is the iniquity of Peor little to us, from which we have not been cleansed until this day—and the plague is in the congregation of YHWH,

He kuo siʻi fau kiate kitautolu ʻae hia ʻa Peoli, (ʻaia ʻoku teʻeki fakamaʻa ʻakitautolu mei ai he ʻaho ni, ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ai ʻae mahaki lahi ʻi he fakataha ʻa Sihova, )

18 that you turn back today from after YHWH? And it has been [that] you rebel against YHWH today, and tomorrow He is angry against all the congregation of Israel.

Kuo mou tafoki ai ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni mei he muimui ʻia Sihova? Pea ʻe pehē, ʻi hoʻomou angatuʻu he ʻaho ni kia Sihova, ʻe houhau ia ʻapongipongi ki he kakai fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.

19 And surely, if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over for yourselves to the land of the possession of YHWH, where the Dwelling Place of YHWH has dwelt, and have possession in our midst; and do not rebel against YHWH, and do not rebel against us, by your building an altar for yourselves, besides the altar of our God YHWH.

Ka koeʻuhi, kapau ʻoku taʻemaʻa ʻae fonua ʻo homou tofiʻa, pea mou hiki mai ki he fonua ki he tofiʻa ʻo Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ai ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova, pea maʻu ʻae tofiʻa fakataha mo kimautolu: kaeʻoua te mou angatuʻu kia Sihova, pea angatuʻu kiate kimautolu, ʻi he fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga moʻomoutolu, kae tuku ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.

20 Did Achan son of Zerah not commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and there was wrath on all the congregation of Israel? And he alone did not expire in his iniquity.”

‌ʻIkai naʻe fai hala ʻe ʻAkani ko e foha ʻo Sela ʻi he meʻa fakamalaʻia, pea naʻe tō ai ʻae houhau ki he kakai fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli? Pea naʻe ʻikai malaʻia tokotaha pe ʻae tangata ko ia ʻi heʻene hia.”

21 And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, answer and speak with the heads of the thousands of Israel:

Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻo tali, ʻonau pehē ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe ʻo ʻIsileli,

22 “The God of gods—YHWH, the God of gods—YHWH, He is knowing, and Israel—he knows, if [we are] in rebellion, and if in trespass against YHWH, do not save us this day!

“Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi, pea ʻe ʻilo ia mo ʻIsileli foki; kapau kuo fai eni ʻi he angatuʻu, pea kapau ʻoku fai ʻi he talangataʻa kia Sihova, (ʻoua naʻa fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu he ʻaho ni, )

23 [If we] are building an altar for ourselves to turn back from after YHWH, and if to cause burnt-offering and present to go up on it, and if to make peace-offerings on it—YHWH Himself requires [it].

‌ʻEmau langa homau feilaulauʻanga ke tafoki mei heʻemau muimui ʻia Sihova, pea kapau ko e meʻa ke fai ki ai ʻemau ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pe ko e feilaulau meʻakai, pea ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei, tuku ke totongi ia ʻe Sihova pe;

24 And nevertheless, we have done it from fear of [this] thing, saying, Hereafter your sons speak to our sons, saying, And what have you to [do with] YHWH God of Israel?

Pea kapau naʻe ʻikai te mau fai ia ko e manavahē ki he meʻa ni, ʻo pehē, ʻe lea nai ʻe hoʻomou fānau ʻamui ki heʻemau fānau, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mou kau ai ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli?

25 For YHWH has put a border between us and you, O sons of Reuben, and sons of Gad—Jordan; you have no portion in YHWH—and your sons have caused our sons to cease, not to fear YHWH.

He kuo ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻa Sioatani ko e ngataʻanga vahevahe ʻiate kimautolu mo kimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata; ʻoku ʻikai hamou tofiʻa ʻia Sihova;’ ko ia ʻe fai ʻe hoʻomou fānau ke taʻofi ʻemau fānau ʻi heʻenau manavahē kia Sihova.

26 And we say, Now let us prepare to build the altar for ourselves—not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice—

Ko ia naʻa mau alea ai, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke tau tokonaki ʻo langa haʻatau feilaulauʻanga, ʻoku ʻikai ki he feilaulau tutu, pe ki he feilaulau:

27 but it [is] a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, to do the service of YHWH before Him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings, and your sons do not say hereafter to our sons, You have no portion in YHWH.

Ka koeʻuhi ke hoko ko e fakamoʻoni ia kiate kimautolu mo kimoutolu, pea ki hotau ngaahi toʻutangata kimui ʻiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke mau fai ʻae ngāue ʻa Sihova ʻi hono ʻao ʻaki ʻemau ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo ʻemau ngaahi feilaulau, mo ʻemau ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei; ke ʻoua naʻa lau ʻe hoʻomou fānau ki heʻemau fānau ʻamui, ʻOku ʻikai te mou kau kia Sihova.’

28 And we say, And it has been, when they say [so] to us, and to our generations hereafter, that we have said, See the pattern of the altar of YHWH, which our fathers made—not for burnt-offering nor for sacrifice—but it [is] a witness between us and you.

Ko ia naʻa mau pehē, ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ‘Kapau tenau lau kiate kimautolu, pe ki homau toʻutangata kimui, pea te mau tali, ʻo pehē, Vakai ki hono fakatātā ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai, naʻe ʻikai ki he feilaulau tutu, pe ki he ngaahi feilaulau: ka ko e meʻa fakamoʻoni kiate kimautolu mo kimoutolu.’

29 Far be it from us to rebel against YHWH, and to turn back from after YHWH today, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for present, and for sacrifice, apart from the altar of our God YHWH, which [is] before His Dwelling Place.”

Ke taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa mau angatuʻu kia Sihova, ʻo tafoki he ʻaho ni mei he muimui ʻia Sihova, ke langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ki he ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pe ki he ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai, pe ki he ngaahi feilaulau, kae tuku ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he mata fale fehikitaki ʻoʻona.”

30 And Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, and the heads of the thousands of Israel, who [are] with him, hear the words which the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh have spoken, and it is good in their eyes.

Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Finiasi ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe kakai fakataha, mo e ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe ʻiate ia, ki he ngaahi lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata, mo e fānau ʻa Manase, naʻa nau fiemālie ai.

31 And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest says to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Manasseh, “Today we have known that YHWH [is] in our midst, because you have not committed this trespass against YHWH—then you have delivered the sons of Israel out of the hand of YHWH.”

Pea naʻe lea ʻa Finiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ki he fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea ki he fānau ʻa Kata, pea ki he fānau ʻa Manase, “ʻOku mau mamata he ʻaho ni ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou fai ʻae meʻa hala ni kia Sihova; ko eni kuo mou fakamoʻui ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻo Sihova.”

32 And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, turn back from the sons of Reuben, and from the sons of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the sons of Israel, and bring them back word;

Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Finiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki, mei he fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea mei he fānau ʻa Kata, mei he fonua ko Kiliati, ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻonau ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kiate kinautolu.

33 and the thing is good in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel bless God, and have not spoken to go up against them to war, to destroy the land which the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, are dwelling in.

Pea naʻe fiemālie ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau loto ke ʻalu ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu, ke fakaʻauha ʻae fonua naʻe nofo ai ʻae fānau ʻa Lupeni, mo Kata.

34 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad proclaim concerning the altar, that, “[It is] a witness between us that YHWH [is] God.”

Pea naʻe ui ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata ʻae feilaulauʻanga, “Ko e fakamoʻoni eni ʻiate kitaua ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
