1 Et factum est post mortem Moysi servi Domini, ut loqueretur Dominus ad Josue filium Nun, ministrum Moysi, et diceret ei:
Pea hili ʻae pekia ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ko e tauhi ʻo Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 Moyses servus meus mortuus est: surge, et transi Jordanem istum tu, et omnis populus tecum, in terram quam ego dabo filiis Israël.
“Kuo pekia ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese; pea ko eni, ke ke tuʻu hake, mo ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, ʻa koe mo e kakai ni kotoa pē, ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻio, ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
3 Omnem locum, quem calcaverit vestigium pedis vestri, vobis tradam, sicut locutus sum Moysi.
Ko e potu kotoa pē ʻe tuʻu ki ai homou ʻaofivaʻe, ko ia kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tala kia Mōsese.
4 A deserto et Libano usque ad fluvium magnum Euphraten, omnis terra Hethæorum usque ad mare magnum contra solis occasum erit terminus vester.
Mei he toafa mo Lepanoni ni, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe lahi, ko e vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi, ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Heti, ʻo aʻu atu ki he tahi lahi ʻo hangē atu ki he toʻanga laʻā, ko hoʻomou potu ia.
5 Nullus poterit vobis resistere cunctis diebus vitæ tuæ: sicut fui cum Moyse, ita ero tecum: non dimittam, nec derelinquam te.
‌ʻE ʻikai ha tangata te ne faʻa tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui: ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻia Mōsese, ʻe pehē pe ʻeku ʻiate koe: ʻe ʻikai te u fakatukutukuʻi koe, pe siʻaki koe.
6 Confortare, et esto robustus: tu enim sorte divides populo huic terram, pro qua juravi patribus suis, ut traderem eam illis.
Ke ke mālohi mo ke lototoʻa; koeʻuhi te ke tufa ki he kakai ni ʻae fonua, ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate kinautolu ko honau tofiʻa.
7 Confortare igitur, et esto robustus valde, ut custodias, et facias omnem legem, quam præcepit tibi Moyses servus meus: ne declines ab ea ad dexteram vel ad sinistram, ut intelligas cuncta quæ agis.
Kae kehe ke mālohi pe ʻa koe mo ke lototoʻa ʻaupito, koeʻuhi ke ke tokanga ʻo fai ʻo fakatatau ki he fono kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fekau kiate koe ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese: ʻoua naʻa ke tafoki mei ai ki he nima toʻomataʻu pē ki he toʻohema, koeʻuhi ke ke monūʻia koe ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai.
8 Non recedat volumen legis hujus ab ore tuo: sed meditaberis in eo diebus ac noctibus, ut custodias et facias omnia quæ scripta sunt in eo: tunc diriges viam tuam, et intelliges eam.
Ko e tohi ni ʻoe fono ke ʻoua naʻa mahuʻi ia mei ho ngutu: ka ke fakalaulauloto ki ai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ke ke tokanga ʻo fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi ai: he ko ia te ke ngaohi ke monūʻia ai ho hala, pea ke toki fai fakapotopoto ai.
9 Ecce præcipio tibi: confortare, et esto robustus. Noli metuere, et noli timere: quoniam tecum est Dominus Deus tuus in omnibus ad quæcumque perrexeris.
‌ʻIkai ko au kuo u fekauʻi koe? Ke ke mālohi koe pea ke lototoʻa; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa ke puputuʻu: he ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate koe ia ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai.”
10 Præcepitque Josue principibus populi, dicens: Transite per medium castrorum, et imperate populo, ac dicite:
Pea naʻe fekau ai ʻe Siosiua, ki he kau matāpule ʻoe kakai, ʻo pehē,
11 Præparate vobis cibaria: quoniam post diem tertium transibitis Jordanem, et intrabitis ad possidendam terram quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est vobis.
“Mou ʻalu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe kautau, pea fekau ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, Teuteu hoʻomou meʻakai; koeʻuhi ʻi he teʻeki ngata ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu, te mou hoko atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe Sioatani ni, ke mou hoko ke maʻu ʻae fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ke mou maʻu ia.”
12 Rubenitis quoque et Gaditis, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse, ait:
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata, mo hono vaeua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻo pehē,
13 Mementote sermonis, quem præcepit vobis Moyses famulus Domini, dicens: Dominus Deus vester dedit vobis requiem, et omnem terram.
“Mou manatu ki he lea ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, Kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻae mālōlōʻanga kiate kimoutolu, pea kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ni.
14 Uxores vestræ, et filii, ac jumenta manebunt in terra, quam tradidit vobis Moyses trans Jordanem: vos autem transite armati ante fratres vestros, omnes fortes manu, et pugnate pro eis,
‌ʻE nofo homou ngaahi uaifi, mo hoʻomou fānau siʻi, mo hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani; ka ʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻakimoutolu mo e mahafutau ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi kāinga, ʻae kau tangata mālohi mo toʻa kotoa pē, ʻo tokoni ʻakinautolu;
15 donec det Dominus requiem fratribus vestris sicut et vobis dedit, et possideant ipsi quoque terram quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est eis: et sic revertimini in terram possessionis vestræ, et habitabitis in ea, quam vobis dedit Moyses famulus Domini trans Jordanem contra solis ortum.
Kaeʻoua ke foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae mālōlōʻanga ki homou ngaahi kāinga ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu, pea ke maʻu ʻekinautolu foki ʻae fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kinautolu: pea hili ia te mou toe haʻu ki he fonua ko homou tofiʻa, ʻo maʻu ia ʻo fiemālie ʻi ai, ʻaia naʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova ʻi he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani ʻo hanga atu ki he hopoʻangalaʻā.”
16 Responderuntque ad Josue, atque dixerunt: Omnia quæ præcepisti nobis, faciemus: et quocumque miseris, ibimus.
Pea naʻa nau talaange kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ke fekau kiate kimautolu te mau fai ia, pea ko e potu kotoa pē ʻoku ke fekauʻi ʻakimautolu ki ai, te mau ʻalu.
17 Sicut obedivimus in cunctis Moysi, ita obediemus et tibi: tantum sit Dominus Deus tuus tecum, sicut fuit cum Moyse.
Hangē ko ʻemau tokanga kia Mōsese ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻe pehē pe ʻemau tokanga kiate koe: kae kehe ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻia Mōsese.
18 Qui contradixerit ori tuo, et non obedierit cunctis sermonibus, quos præceperis ei, moriatur. Tu tantum confortare, et viriliter age.
‌ʻIlonga ha tokotaha ʻoku angatuʻu ki hoʻo fekau, pea ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ia ki hoʻo ngaahi lea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fekau kiate ia, ʻe tāmateʻi ia ka ke mālohi koe mo ke lototoʻa.”
