Joshua 22

1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

Katahi ka karanga a Hohua ki nga Reupeni, ki nga Kari, a ki tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi,

2 and said to them, "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.

A ka mea ki a ratou, Kua mau i a koutou nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Mohi, te pononga a Ihowa ki a koutou, kua whakarongo mai hoki koutou ki toku reo i nga mea katoa i whakahau ai ahau ki a koutou:

3 You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of the LORD your God.

Kihai koutou i whakarere i o koutou tuakana i enei rangi e maha a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, engari i ata pupuri marie koutou i te whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua.

4 Now the LORD your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan.

Na kua mea nei a Ihowa, to koutou Atua i o koutou teina kia okioki, ka rite ki tana i korero ai ki a ratou: na reira, hoki atu, haere ki o koutou teneti, ki te whenua hoki i whiwhi na koutou, i hoatu na e Mohi, e te pononga a Ihowa ki a koutou i tawahi o Horano.

5 Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."

Otira kia mahara marie kia mahi te whakahau me te ture, i whakahau ai a Mohi, te pononga a Ihowa ki a koutou, kia aroha ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, kia haere i ana huarahi katoa, kia pupuri i ana whakahau, kia wahi hoki ki a ia, kia whakapotoa o koutou ngakau katoa, o koutou wairua katoa ki te mahi ki a ia.

6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.

Na ka manaaki a Hohua i a ratou, a tukua ana ratou kia haere: a haere ana ratou ki o ratou teneti.

7 Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

Na i hoatu e Mohi he kainga i Pahana ki tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi: engari ki tetahi taanga i hoatu e Hohua he kainga i roto i o ratou tuakana i tenei taha o Horano, whaka te hauauru. A, i ta Hohua tukunga atu i a ratou ki o ratou teneti, i manaaki ano ia i a ratou,

8 and spoke to them, saying, "Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers."

I korero ki a ratou, i mea, Hoki atu ki o koutou teneti me nga taonga maha, me te tini noa iho o te kararehe, me te hiriwa, me te koura, me te parahi, me te rino, me te nui noa atu o te kakahu: tuwhaina atu nga taonga o o koutou hoariri ki o kout ou tuakana.

9 The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children 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, which they owned, according to the commandment of the LORD by Moses.

Na hoki ana nga tama a Reupena, me nga tama a Kara, me tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, mawehe atu ana i roto i nga tama a Iharaira i Hiro, i te whenua o Kanaana, a haere ana ki te whenua o Kireara, ki te whenua i whiwhi ai ratou, i whakawhiwhia ki a ratou e te kupu a Ihowa i whakapuakina e Mohi.

10 When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.

Na, i to ratou taenga ki te takiwa i nga taha o Horano, ki tera i te whenua o Kanaana, ka hanga e nga tama a Reupena, e nga tama a Kara, e tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, tetahi aata ki reira, ki te taha o Horano, he aata nui hei tiro hanga atu.

11 The children of Israel heard this, "Look, the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of Israel."

Na ka rongo nga tama a Iharaira e korerotia ana, Nana, kua hanga nga tama a Reupena, me nga tama a Kara, me tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, i tetahi aata ki te ritenga mai o te whenua o Kanaana ki nga taha o Horano, ki te wahi i nga tama a Ihar aira.

12 When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.

A, no te rongonga o nga tama a Iharaira, huihui ana te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki Hiro, i mea kia haere ki te whawhai ki a ratou.

13 The children of Israel sent to the descendants of Reuben, and to the descendants of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the cohen,

Na ka tonoa atu e nga tama a Iharaira a Pinehaha tama a Ereatara tohunga ki nga tama a Reupena, ki nga tama hoki a Kara, a ki tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, ki te whenua o Kireara;

14 and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers' house for each of the tribes of Israel; and every one of them heads of ancestral houses among the thousands of Israel.

Me etahi rangatira kotahi tekau hoki hei hoa mona, tatakikotahi te rangatira o ia koromatua, o ia koromatua o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira; he ariki hoki ratou, ia tangata, ia tangata, no nga whare o o ratou matua i roto i nga mano o Iharaira.

15 They came to the descendants of Reuben, and to the descendants of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

Na haere ana ratou ki nga tama a Reupena, ki nga tama a Kara, ki tetahi taanga hoki o te iwi o Manahi, ki te whenua o Kireara, a ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea,

16 "Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD, 'What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that you have built you an altar, to rebel this day against the LORD?

Ko te korero tenei a te whakaminenga katoa a Ihowa, He aha tenei hara i mea nei koutou ki te Atua o Iharaira, i a koutou ka tahuri atu nei i tenei ra i te whai i a Ihowa, ka hanga nei i tetahi aata ma koutou, hei mahi tutu ma koutou ki a Ihowa?

17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of the LORD,

He nohinohi rawa ianei ki a tatou te haranga ki a Peoro, kahore ano nei i horoia atu i a tatou a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, ahakoa ra i pa he mate uruta ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa,

18 that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? It will be, seeing that you rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

E tahuri ke nei koutou i tenei ra i te whai i a Ihowa? Na ki te mea ka tutu koutou i tenei ra ki a Ihowa, tera ia e riri apopo ki te whakaminenga katoa o Iharaira.

19 However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of the LORD, in which the LORD's tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.

Otiia mehemea he poke te whenua e noho nei koutou, haere ake ki te whenua e nohoia ana e Ihowa, kei reira nei e tu ana te tapenakara o Ihowa, a ka noho i waenganui i a matou: engari kaua e tutu ki a Ihowa, kaua ano hoki e tutu ki a matou, i a ko utou ka hanga nei i tetahi aata ke atu ma koutou i te aata a Ihowa, a to tatou Atua.

20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man did not perish alone in his iniquity.'"

Kahore ianei a Akana, te tama a Tera i taka ki te hara i te mea kanga, a tau ana te riri ki runga ki te whakaminenga katoa o Iharaira? a kihai i mate ko taua tangata anake mo tona hara.

21 Then the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,

Katahi ka whakahoki nga tama a Reupena, nga tama a Kara, me tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, ka mea ki nga ariki o nga mano o Iharaira,

22 "El, God, the LORD. El, God, the LORD. He knows; and Israel shall know. If it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against the LORD, do not save us this day,

Ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o nga atua, ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o nga atua, e mohio ana ia, ko Iharaira hoki ka mohio ano ia; mehemea na te tutu, mehemea ranei na te hara ki a Ihowa, penei kaua matou e whakaorangia e koe i tenei ra,

23 that we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let the LORD himself require it.

I hanga ai e matou tetahi aata hei tahuritanga ketanga i muri i a Ihowa; mehemea ranei hei whakaekenga mo te tahunga tinana mo te whakahere ranei, hei meatanga ranei mo etahi patunga mo te pai, ma Ihowa ake ano e rapu utu;

24 If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, 'In time to come your descendants might speak to our descendants, saying, "What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?

Mehemea ranei kahore i meatia e matou tenei mea i runga i te tupato, me te ata whakaaro, ka ki, Apopo ake nei ka korero mai a koutou tama ki a matou tama, ka mea, He aha ta koutou kei a Ihowa, kei te Atua o Iharaira?

25 For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you descendants of Reuben and descendants of Gad. You have no portion in the LORD."' So your children might make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

Kua whakatakotoria nei hoki e Ihowa a Horano hei rohe ki waenganui o matou, o koutou, e nga tama a Reupena, e nga tama a Kara; kahore o koutou wahi i roto i a Ihowa: pena ka meinga e a koutou tama a matou tama kia mutu te wehi i a Ihowa.

26 Therefore we said, 'Let's now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;

Koia matou i mea ai, Tena, tatou ka haere, ka hanga i tetahi aata ma tatou, ehara i te mea mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga patunga tapu ranei:

27 but it will be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;' that your descendants may not tell our descendants in time to come, 'You have no portion in the LORD.'

Engari kia ai tena mea hei kaiwhakaatu ki a matou, ki a koutou, ki o tatou uri hoki i muri i a tatou, kia mahi ai tatou i nga mahi a Ihowa ki tona aroaro, i a tatou tahunga tinana, i a tatou patunga tapu, i a tatou whakahere mo te pai; kei mea a koutou tama ki a matou tama a ko ake nei, Kahore o koutou wahi i roto i a Ihowa.

28 Therefore we said, 'It shall be, when they tell us or our generations this in time to come, that we shall say, "Look the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you."'

Koia matou i mea ai, Na tenei ake, kei ta ratou meatanga pera ki a tatou, ki o tatou uri ranei, na ka mea tatou, Titiro ki te mea e rite ana ki te aata a Ihowa, i hanga e o matou matua, ehara i te mea mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga patunga tapu r anei; engari hei kaiwhakaatu i waenganui i a matou, i a koutou.

29 Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle."

Aue, kia tutu matou ki a Ihowa! kia tahuri atu i tenei ra i muri i a Ihowa, ki te hanga i tetahi aata mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga whakahere, mo nga patunga tapu ranei, hei mea ke atu i te aata a Ihowa, a to tatou Atua, i mua mai o tona tapenak ara!

30 When Phinehas the cohen, and the leaders of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.

Na, i te rongonga o Pinehaha tohunga, ratou ko nga rangatira o te whakaminenga, ara ko nga upoko o nga mano o Iharaira, ki nga kupu i korerotia e nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga tama a Kara, ko nga tama a Manahi, ka pai ki a ratou.

31 Phinehas the son of Eleazar the cohen said to the descendants of Reuben, to the descendants of Gad, and to the descendants of Manasseh, "Today we know that the LORD is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against the LORD. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."

Katahi ka mea a Pinehaha tama a Ereatara tohunga ki nga tama a Reupena ratou ko nga tama a Kara, ko nga tama a Manahi, No tenei ra matou i mohio ai, kei waenganui i a tatou a Ihowa, ina hoki kihai koutou i taka ki tenei hara ki a Ihowa: na kua w hakaora nei koutou i nga tama a Iharaira i te ringa o Ihowa.

32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the cohen, and the leaders, returned from the descendants of Reuben, and from the descendants of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

Katahi ka hoki a Penehaha tama a Ereatara tohunga, me nga rangatira, i nga tama a Reupena ratou ko nga tama a Kara i te whenua o Kireara, ki te whenua o Kanaana, ki nga tama a Iharaira, ki te whakahoki i te korero ki a ratou.

33 The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad lived.

A pai tonu te korero ki nga tama a Iharaira: na whakapai atu ana nga tama a Iharaira ki te Atua, kihai hoki ratou i mea ano kia haere ki runga ki te whawhai ki a ratou, ki te huna i te whenua e nohoia ana e nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga tama a Kara.

34 The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad called the altar: "A witness between us that the LORD is God."

Na huaina iho taua aata e nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga tama a Kara, ko Eri: i mea hoki ratou, Hei kaiwhakaatu tena mea ki waenganui i a tatou, ko Ihowa te Atua.
