Joshua 24

1 Ningĩ Joshua agĩcookanĩrĩria mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli kũu Shekemu. Agĩĩta athuuri, na atongoria, na atuithania a maciira, na anene a Isiraeli, nao magĩthiĩ makĩrũgama mbere ya Ngai.

Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe Siosiua ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ki Sikemi, ʻo ne fekau ke haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, mo honau ngaahi ʻeiki, pea ko honau kau fakamaau, mo honau kau matāpule; pea naʻa nau fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.

2 Nake Joshua akĩĩra andũ othe atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Tene mũno maithe manyu, nĩo Tera ithe wa Iburahĩmu na Nahoru, maatũũraga mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Farati na makahooyaga ngai ingĩ.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai kotoa pē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Naʻe nofo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi muʻa ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vai lahi, ʻio, ʻa Tela, ko e tamai ʻa ʻEpalahame mo e tamai ʻa Nehoa: pea naʻa nau tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe.

3 No nĩndarutire ithe wanyu Iburahĩmu, oime bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ mũrĩmo wa rũũĩ rũu rwa Farati, ngĩmũtongoria kũu Kaanani guothe, na ngĩmũhe njiaro nyingĩ. Nĩndamũheire Isaaka,

Pea naʻaku ʻomi hoʻomou tamai ko ʻEpalahame mei he potu ʻe taha ʻoe vai lahi, ʻo tataki ia ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, pea u fakatokolahi hono hako, ʻo foaki kiate ia ʻa ʻAisake.

4 nake Isaaka ngĩmũhe Jakubu na Esaũ. Nĩndagaĩire Esaũ bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Seiru, no Jakubu na ariũ ake magĩikũrũka magĩthiĩ Misiri.

Pea naʻe foaki kia ʻAisake ʻa Sēkope mo ʻIsoa: peau foaki kia ʻIsoa ʻae moʻunga ko Seia, ke ne maʻu ia; ka ko Sēkope mo ʻene fānau naʻa nau ʻalu hifo ki ʻIsipite.

5 “‘Ningĩ ngĩcooka ngĩtũma Musa na Harũni, na ngĩhũũra andũ a Misiri na maũndũ marĩa mothe ndeekire kũu, ngĩcooka ngĩmaruta kuo.

Pea naʻaku fekau ʻa Mōsese mo ʻElone foki, peau fakamamahiʻi ʻa ʻIsipite, ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻaia naʻaku fai ʻiate kinautolu: pea hili ia naʻaku fakahaofi ʻakimoutolu.

6 Rĩrĩa ndaarutire maithe manyu kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩmwakinyire iria-inĩ, nao andũ a Misiri makĩmarũmĩrĩra na ngaari cia ita, na andũ mahaicĩte mbarathi o nginya Iria Itune.

Pea naʻaku ʻomi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite: pea naʻa mou haʻu ki he tahi: pea naʻe tuli hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau tangata heka hoosi ʻo aʻu ki he Tahi Kulokula.

7 Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩkaĩra Jehova amateithie, nake agĩĩkĩra nduma gatagatĩ kanyu na andũ a Misiri; ningĩ agĩtũma iria rĩmakorere, akĩmathika narĩo. Nĩmweyoneire na maitho manyu ũrĩa ndeekire andũ a Misiri. Ningĩ mũgĩcooka mũgĩtũũra werũ-inĩ matukũ maingĩ.

Pea ʻi heʻenau tangi kia Sihova, naʻa ne ʻai ʻae poʻuli ʻi homou vahaʻa mo e kakai ʻIsipite, pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae tahi kiate kinautolu ʻo lōmaki ʻaki ʻakinautolu; pea naʻe mamata ʻe homou mata ki he meʻa naʻaku fai ʻi ʻIsipite: pea ne mou nofo ʻi he toafa ʻo fuoloa.

8 “‘Ningĩ ngĩmũtwara bũrũri wa Aamori arĩa maatũũraga mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. Nao makĩrũa na inyuĩ na niĩ ngĩmaneana moko-inĩ manyu. Nĩndamaanangire mamweherere, na inyuĩ mũkĩĩgwatĩra bũrũri wao ũgĩtuĩka wanyu.

Pea ne u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani; pea naʻa nau tauʻi ʻakimoutolu: pea ne u tuku ʻakinautolu ki homou nima, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu honau fonua, pea ne u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei homou ʻao.

9 Na rĩrĩa Balaki mũrũ wa Ziporu mũthamaki wa Moabi eeharagĩria kũrũa na Isiraeli-rĩ, nĩatũmanĩire Balamu mũrũ wa Beori nĩguo oke amũrume.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Pelaki ko e foha ʻo Sipoa, ko e tuʻi ʻo Moape, ʻo ne tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ne fekau ke ui ʻa Pelami ko e foha ʻo Peoli ke haʻu ʻo fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻakimoutolu:

10 No niĩ ndingĩathikĩrĩirie Balamu; nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmũrathima maita maingĩ, na niĩ ngĩmũhonokia kuuma moko-inĩ make.

Ka naʻe ʻikai te u tokanga kia Pelami ko ia naʻa ne tāpuakiʻi pe ʻakimoutolu pea ne u fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei hono nima,

11 “‘Ningĩ mũkĩringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani na mũgĩkinya Jeriko. Nao andũ a Jeriko makĩrũa na inyuĩ, o ta ũrĩa Aamori, na Aperizi, na Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Agirigashi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi o nao nĩmarũire na inyuĩ, no niĩ ngĩmaneana moko-inĩ manyu.

Pea ne mou ʻalu atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, ʻo hoko ki Seliko: pea naʻe tauʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Seliko; ko e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau Keakasa, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi; pea naʻaku tukuange ʻakinautolu ki homou nima.

12 Ngĩcooka ngĩrekia magi marĩ mboora mathiĩ mbere yanyu, marĩa maamaingatire mamweherere, o hamwe na athamaki arĩa eerĩ a Aamori. Ti inyuĩ mwamaingatire na rũhiũ rwanyu rwa njora kana na ũta wanyu.

Pea naʻaku fekau ʻae fanga langomū ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu mei homou ʻao, ʻio, ʻae tuʻi ʻe ua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli; ka naʻe ʻikai fai ia ʻaki hoʻo heletā pē ko hoʻo kaufana ʻaʻau.

13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmũhe bũrũri mũtaanogeire na matũũra mũtaakĩte; na nĩkuo mũtũũraga, mũkĩrĩĩaga maciaro ma mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na mĩtamaiyũ ĩrĩa mũtaahaandire.’

Pea kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou ngāue ke maʻu, mo e ngaahi kolo naʻe ʻikai te mou langa, pea ʻoku mou nofo ʻi ai; ko e ngaahi ngoue vaine, mo e ngaahi ngoue ʻolive ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou tō ʻoku mou kai mei ai.’

14 “Na rĩrĩ, mwĩtigĩrei Jehova na mũmũtungatagĩre mũtarĩ na ũhinga, na mũrĩ ehokeku kũna. Eheriai ngai iria maithe manyu ma tene maahooyaga kũu mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Farati, o na kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na mũtungatagĩre o Jehova.

“Pea ko eni, mou manavahē kia Sihova, pea tauhi ia ʻi he angatonu mo e moʻoni; pea tukuange ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi ʻotua naʻe tauhi ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vai lahi, pea mo ʻIsipite: pea mou tauhi ʻa Sihova.

15 No rĩrĩ, mũngĩona ũhoro ũcio wa gũtungatagĩra Jehova ta ũtamwagĩrĩire-rĩ, thuurai ũmũthĩ ũrĩa mũrĩtungatagĩra, mũmenye kana nĩ ngai iria maithe manyu maatungatagĩra kũu mũrĩmo wa rũũĩ, kana nĩ ngai cia Aamori arĩa ene bũrũri ũyũ mũtũũraga. No ha ũhoro wakwa mwene na nyũmba yakwa-rĩ, tũrĩtungatagĩra Jehova.”

Pea kapau ʻoku matamata kovi kiate kimoutolu ke tauhi ʻa Sihova, mou fili he ʻaho ni ʻaia te mou tauhi; pe ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻaia naʻe tauhi ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe vai lahi, pe ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻae fonua ʻonautolu ʻoku mou nofo ai: ka ko au mo hoku fale te mau tauhi ʻa Sihova.

16 Nao andũ acio magĩcookia makiuga atĩrĩ, “Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo, atĩ tũtiganĩrie Jehova atĩ nĩguo tũtungatĩre ngai ingĩ!

Pea naʻe lea ʻae kakai ʻo pehē, “Ke taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa mau liʻaki ʻa Sihova, ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe;

17 Nĩgũkorwo nĩ Jehova Ngai witũ we mwene watũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri hamwe na maithe maitũ, tũkiuma bũrũri ũcio wa ũkombo, na akĩringa ciama icio nene ũguo na tũgĩciona na maitho maitũ. Nĩaatũgitĩrire rũgendo-inĩ rwitũ ruothe kũrĩa twagereire, o na tũrĩ gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ ciothe kũrĩa twatuĩkanĩirie.

He ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ko ia ia kuo ne ʻomi ʻakitautolu mo ʻetau ngaahi tamai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula, pea ko ia naʻa ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaʻilonga lahi ʻi hotau ʻao, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻi he hala kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa tau ʻalu ai, pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa tau ʻalu ai:

18 Nake Jehova nĩaingatire ndũrĩrĩ icio ciothe ciehere mbere iitũ, o hamwe na Aamori arĩa maatũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũcio. Tondũ ũcio o na ithuĩ tũrĩtungatagĩra Jehova, nĩ ũndũ nĩwe Ngai witũ.”

Pea naʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova mei hotau ʻao ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻae kau ʻAmoli ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he fonua: ko ia foki te mau tauhi ʻa Sihova; he ko homau ʻOtua ia.”

19 Nake Joshua akĩĩra andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Mũtingĩhota gũtungatĩra Jehova. Jehova nĩ Ngai Mũtheru; we nĩ Ngai ũrĩ ũiru. Ndakamũrekera ũremi wanyu o na kana mehia manyu.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou faʻa tauhi ʻa Sihova; he ko e ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni ia; ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa ia; ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamolemole hoʻomou ngaahi talangataʻa mo hoʻomou ngaahi angahala.

20 Mũngĩgaatiganĩria Jehova na mũtungatĩre ngai cia kũngĩ, nĩakamũgarũrũka na amũrehere mwanangĩko amũniine, o na amwĩkĩte maũndũ mega.”

Kapau ʻoku mou liʻaki ʻa Sihova, pea tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, te ne foki mai ʻo tautea ʻakimoutolu, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu, hili ʻa ʻene fai lelei kiate kimoutolu.”

21 No andũ acio makĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Aca! Ithuĩ tũrĩtungatagĩra Jehova.”

Pea naʻa nau tala kia Siosiua, “ʻE ʻikai; ka te mau tauhi ʻa Sihova.”

22 Nake Joshua akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ ene mũrĩ aira a ũguo mwoiga, atĩ nĩmwathuura gũtungatagĩra Jehova.” Nao makĩmũcookeria, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, ithuĩ tũrĩ aira.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu kiate kimoutolu kuo mou fili ʻa Sihova moʻomoutolu ke tauhi ia.” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu.”

23 Joshua akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Rĩu-rĩ, kĩeheriei ngai cia kũngĩ iria irĩ thĩinĩ wanyu, na mũheane ngoro cianyu biũ harĩ Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Pea ko eni, tukuange ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mou fakatokangaʻi homou loto kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.”

24 Nao andũ acio makĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũrĩtungatagĩra Jehova Ngai witũ na tũmwathĩkagĩre.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kia Siosiua, “Te mau tauhi ʻa Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, pea te mau fai talangofua ki hono leʻo.”

25 Mũthenya o ro ũcio Joshua agĩthondekera andũ kĩrĩkanĩro, na akĩmandĩkĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho, marĩ o kũu Shekemu.

Ko ia naʻe fai ai ʻe Siosiua ʻae fuakava mo e kakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ʻae fekau maʻanautolu mo e tuʻutuʻuni ʻi Sikemi.

26 Nake Joshua akĩandĩka maũndũ macio Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Watho wa Ngai. Agĩcooka akĩoya ihiga inene, akĩrĩrũgamia hau gĩtina-inĩ kĩa mũtĩ wa mũgandi hakuhĩ na handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha Jehova.

Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Siosiua ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻae fuʻu maka lahi ʻo fokotuʻu ia ʻi he lolo oke, ʻaia naʻe ofi ki he faletapu ʻo Sihova.

27 Akĩĩra andũ acio othe atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ! Ihiga rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩgũtuĩka mũira witũ wa ũrĩa tuoiga. Nĩrĩiguĩte ciugo ciothe iria Jehova atwĩrĩte. Nĩrĩo rĩgũtuĩka mũira wanyu mũngĩkaaga kwĩhokeka harĩ Ngai wanyu.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai kotoa pē, “Vakai, ko e fakamoʻoni ʻae maka ni kiate kitautolu; he kuo ne fanongo ki he lea kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne folofolaʻaki kiate kitautolu: ko ia ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e fakamoʻoni, telia naʻa mou fakafisingaʻi homou ʻOtua.”

28 Nake Joshua agĩcooka akĩĩra andũ acio mathiĩ, o mũndũ acooke kũrĩa igai rĩake rĩarĩ.

Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Siosiua ʻae kakai kenau ʻalu, taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono tofiʻa.

29 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, ndungata ya Jehova, agĩkua arĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka igana na ikũmi.

Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe pekia ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, ka kuo teau taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu hono motuʻa.

30 Nao makĩmũthika kũu gĩthaka kĩa igai rĩake, o kũu Timinathu-Sera bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu gathigathini wa kĩrĩma kĩa Gaashu.

Pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi he veʻe tofiʻa ʻoʻona ʻi Timinate-Sela, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, ʻi he potu tokelau ʻoe moʻunga ko Keasi.

31 Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtungatĩra Jehova matukũ-inĩ mothe ma Joshua na ma athuuri arĩa maatigirwo muoyo Joshua akua, o arĩa maamenyete maũndũ mothe marĩa Jehova ekĩte Nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli.

Pea naʻe tauhi ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Siosiua, mo e ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoe kau mātuʻa naʻa nau moʻui kimui ʻia Siosiua, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fai maʻa ʻIsileli.

32 Namo mahĩndĩ ma Jusufu, marĩa andũ a Isiraeli maarehete kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, magĩthikwo kũu Shekemu gacigo-inĩ ga gĩthaka kĩrĩa Jakubu aagũrĩte kuuma kũrĩ ariũ a Hamoru, ithe wa Shekemu. Rĩu nĩrĩo rĩatuĩkire igai rĩa njiaro cia Jusufu.

Pea ko e hui ʻo Siosefa ʻaia naʻe hikitanga ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, naʻa nau tanu ʻi Sikemi, ʻi he konga fonua naʻe fakatau ʻe Sēkope mei he ngaahi foha ʻo Hemoa ko e tamai ʻa Sikemi ʻaki ʻae konga siliva ʻe teau: pea naʻe hoko ia ko e tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Siosefa.

33 Nake Eleazaru mũrũ wa Harũni agĩkua na agĩthikwo kũu Gibea, kũrĩa kwagaĩirwo mũriũ Finehasi, o kũu bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu.

Pea naʻe pekia ʻa ʻEliesa ko e foha ʻo ʻElone; pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi he moʻunga naʻe ʻo Finiasi ko hono foha, ʻaia naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻi he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi.
