< Iosue 23 >
1 evoluto autem multo tempore postquam pacem Dominus dederat Israheli subiectis in gyro nationibus universis et Iosue iam longevo et persenilis aetatis
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 vocavit Iosue omnem Israhelem maioresque natu et principes ac duces et magistros dixitque ad eos ego senui et progressioris aetatis sum
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 vosque cernitis omnia quae fecerit Dominus Deus vester cunctis per circuitum nationibus quomodo pro vobis ipse pugnaverit
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 et nunc quia vobis sorte divisit omnem terram ab orientali parte Iordanis usque ad mare Magnum multaeque adhuc supersunt nationes
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 Dominus Deus vester disperdet eas et auferet a facie vestra et possidebitis terram sicut vobis pollicitus est
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 tantum confortamini et estote solliciti ut custodiatis cuncta quae scripta sunt in volumine legis Mosi et non declinetis ab eis nec ad dextram nec ad sinistram
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 ne postquam intraveritis ad gentes quae inter vos futurae sunt iuretis in nomine deorum earum et serviatis eis et adoretis illos
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 sed adhereatis Domino Deo vestro quod fecistis usque in diem hanc
Ka mou pikitai kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, hangē ko ia kuo mou fai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
9 et tunc auferet Dominus in conspectu vestro gentes magnas et robustissimas et nullus vobis resistere poterit
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 unus e vobis persequetur hostium mille viros quia Dominus Deus vester pro vobis ipse pugnabit sicut pollicitus est
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 hoc tantum diligentissime praecavete ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum
Ko ia mou vakai lahi kiate kimoutolu ke mou ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
12 quod si volueritis gentium harum quae inter vos habitant erroribus adherere et cum eis miscere conubia atque amicitias copulare
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 iam nunc scitote quod Dominus Deus vester non eas deleat ante faciem vestram sed sint vobis in foveam ac laqueum et offendiculum ex latere vestro et sudes in oculis vestris donec vos auferat atque disperdat de terra hac optima quam tradidit vobis
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 en ego hodie ingrediar viam universae terrae et toto animo cognoscetis quod de omnibus verbis quae se Dominus praestaturum nobis esse pollicitus est unum non praeterierit in cassum
“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 sicut ergo implevit opere quod promisit et prospera cuncta venerunt sic adducet super vos quicquid malorum comminatus est donec vos auferat atque disperdat de terra hac optima quam tradidit vobis
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 eo quod praeterieritis pactum Domini Dei vestri quod pepigit vobiscum et servieritis diis alienis et adoraveritis eos cito atque velociter consurget in vos furor Domini et auferemini de terra hac optima quam tradidit vobis
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.”
