1 Eodem tempore vocavit Josue Rubenitas, et Gaditas, et dimidiam tribum Manasse,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ke haʻu ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata, mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase,
2 dixitque ad eos: Fecistis omnia quæ præcepit vobis Moyses famulus Domini: mihi quoque in omnibus obedistis,
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 nec reliquistis fratres vestros longo tempore, usque in præsentem diem, custodientes imperium Domini Dei vestri.
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 Quia igitur dedit Dominus Deus vester fratribus vestris quietem et pacem, sicut pollicitus est: revertimini, et ite in tabernacula vestra, et in terram possessionis, quam tradidit vobis Moyses famulus Domini trans Jordanem:
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 ita dumtaxat ut custodiatis attente, et opere compleatis mandatum et legem quam præcepit vobis Moyses famulus Domini, ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum, et ambuletis in omnibus viis ejus, et observetis mandata illius, adhæreatisque ei, ac serviatis in omni corde, et in omni anima vestra.
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 Benedixitque eis Josue, et dimisit eos. Qui reversi sunt in tabernacula sua.
Naʻe pehē ʻae tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua, ʻo ne fekau ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
7 Dimidiæ autem tribui Manasse possessionem Moyses dederat in Basan: et idcirco mediæ, quæ superfuit, dedit Josue sortem inter ceteros fratres suos trans Jordanem ad occidentalem plagam. Cumque dimitteret eos in tabernacula sua, et benedixisset eis,
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 dixit ad eos: In multa substantia atque divitiis revertimini ad sedes vestras, cum argento et auro, ære ac ferro, et veste multiplici: dividite prædam hostium cum fratribus vestris.
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 Reversique sunt, et abierunt filii Ruben, et filii Gad, et dimidia tribus Manasse, a filiis Israël de Silo, quæ sita est in Chanaan, ut intrarent Galaad terram possessionis suæ, quam obtinuerant juxta imperium Domini in manu Moysi.
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 Cumque venissent ad tumulos Jordanis in terram Chanaan, ædificaverunt juxta Jordanem altare infinitæ magnitudinis.
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 Quod cum audissent filii Israël, et ad eos certi nuntii detulissent, ædificasse filios Ruben, et Gad, et dimidiæ tribus Manasse, altare in terra Chanaan, super Jordanis tumulos, contra filios Israël:
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 convenerunt omnes in Silo, ut ascenderent, et dimicarent contra eos.
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 Et interim miserunt ad illos in terram Galaad Phinees filium Eleazari sacerdotis,
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 et decem principes cum eo, singulos de singulis tribubus.
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 Qui venerunt ad filios Ruben, et Gad, et dimidiæ tribus Manasse in terram Galaad, dixeruntque ad eos:
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 Hæc mandat omnis populus Domini: Quæ est ista transgressio? cur reliquistis Dominum Deum Israël, ædificantes altare sacrilegum, et a cultu illius recedentes?
‌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 an parum vobis est quod peccastis in Beelphegor, et usque in præsentem diem macula hujus sceleris in nobis permanet, multique de populo corruerunt?
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 Et vos hodie reliquistis Dominum, et cras in universum Israël ira ejus desæviet.
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 Quod si putatis immundam esse terram possessionis vestræ, transite ad terram, in qua tabernaculum Domini est, et habitate inter nos: tantum ut a Domino et a nostro consortio non recedatis, ædificato altari præter altare Domini Dei nostri.
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 Nonne Achan filius Zare præteriit mandatum Domini, et super omnem populum Israël ira ejus incubuit? et ille erat unus homo, atque utinam solum periisset in scelere suo.
‌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 Responderuntque filii Ruben et Gad, et dimidia tribus Manasse, principibus legationis Israël:
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 Fortissimus Deus Dominus, fortissimus Deus Dominus, ipse novit, et Israël simul intelliget: si prævaricationis animo hoc altare construximus, non custodiat nos, sed puniat nos in præsenti:
“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 et si ea mente fecimus ut holocausta, et sacrificium, et pacificas victimas super eo imponeremus, ipse quærat et judicet:
‌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 et non ea magis cogitatione atque tractatu, ut diceremus: Cras dicent filii vestri filiis nostris: Quid vobis et Domino Deo Israël?
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 terminum posuit Dominus inter nos et vos, o filii Ruben, et filii Gad, Jordanem fluvium, et idcirco partem non habetis in Domino: et per hanc occasionem avertent filii vestri filios nostros a timore Domini. Putavimus itaque melius,
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 et diximus: Exstruamus nobis altare, non in holocausta, neque ad victimas offerendas,
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 sed in testimonium inter nos et vos, et sobolem nostram vestramque progeniem, ut serviamus Domino, et juris nostri sit offerre et holocausta, et victimas, et pacificas hostias: et nequaquam dicant cras filii vestri filiis nostris: Non est vobis pars in Domino.
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 Quod si voluerint dicere, respondebunt eis: Ecce altare Domini, quod fecerunt patres nostri, non in holocausta, neque in sacrificium, sed in testimonium nostrum ac vestrum.
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 Absit a nobis hoc scelus, ut recedamus a Domino, et ejus vestigia relinquamus, exstructo altari ad holocausta, et sacrificia, et victimas offerendas, præter altare Domini Dei nostri, quod exstructum est ante tabernaculum ejus.
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 Quibus auditis, Phinees sacerdos, et principes legationis Israël, qui erant cum eo, placati sunt: et verba filiorum Ruben, et Gad, et dimidiæ tribus Manasse, libentissime susceperunt.
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 Dixitque Phinees filius Eleazari sacerdos ad eos: Nunc scimus quod nobiscum sit Dominus, quoniam alieni estis a prævaricatione hac, et liberastis filios Israël de manu Domini.

32 Reversusque est cum principibus a filiis Ruben et Gad de terra Galaad, finium Chanaan, ad filios Israël, et retulit eis.
