Joshua 23

1 And it comes to pass, many days after that YHWH has given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, that Joshua is old, entering into days,

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 and Joshua calls for all Israel, for his elderly, and for his heads, and for his judges, and for his authorities, and says to them, “I have become old; I have entered into days;

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 and you have seen all that your God YHWH has done to all these nations because of you, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you;

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 see, I have caused these nations who are left to fall to you for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan (and all the nations which I cut off), and the Great Sea [at] the [setting] sun.

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 As for your God YHWH, He thrusts them from your presence, and has dispossessed them from before you, and you have possessed their land, as your God YHWH has spoken to you,

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 and you have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it right or left,

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 so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and you do not make mention of the name of their gods, nor do you swear, nor do you serve them, nor do you bow yourselves to them;

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 but you cleave to your God YHWH, as you have done until this day.

Ka mou pikitai kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, hangē ko ia kuo mou fai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

9 And YHWH is dispossessing great and mighty nations from before you; as for you, none has stood in your presence until this day;

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 one man of you pursues a thousand, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you, as He has spoken to you;

‌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.

11 and you have been very watchful for yourselves to love your God YHWH.

Ko ia mou vakai lahi kiate kimoutolu ke mou ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.

12 But—if you turn back at all and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you,

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 certainly know that your God YHWH is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a trap, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to you.

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 And behold, I am going, today, in the way of all the earth, and you have known—with all your heart, and with all your soul—that there has not fallen one thing of all the good things which your God YHWH has spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there has not failed of it one thing.

“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 And it has been, as there has come on you all the good thing which your God YHWH has spoken to you, so YHWH brings on you the whole of the evil thing, until His destroying you from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to you;

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 in your transgressing the covenant of your God YHWH which He commanded you, and you have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then the anger of YHWH has burned against you, and you have perished quickly from off the good land which He has given to you.”

‌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.”
