Hohua 1
1 Na, i muri iho i te matenga o Mohi, o te pononga a Ihowa, ka korero a Ihowa ki a Hohua, ki te tama a Nunu, ki te tangata a Mohi, ka mea,
And it came to pass after the death of Moses, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Naue, the minister of Moses, saying,
2 Kua mate a Mohi, taku pononga; na whakatika, whiti atu i tenei Horano, a koe me tenei iwi katoa, ki te whenua ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a ratou, ara ki nga tama a Iharaira.
Moses my servant is dead; now then arise, go over Jordan, thou and all this people, into the land, which I give them.
3 Ko nga wahi katoa e takahia e nga kapu o o koutou waewae kua hoatu e ahau a reira ki a koutou, ka rite ki taku i korero ai ki a Mohi.
Every spot on which ye shall tread I will give it to you, as I said to Moses.
4 Ko te rohe ki a koutou kei te koraha, kei Repanona nei, a te awa nui atu ana, ara te Awa Uparati, ko te whenua katoa o nga Hiti, a tae noa ki te moana nui, ki te toenetanga o te ra.
The wilderness and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and as far as the extremity of the sea; your costs shall be from the setting of the sun.
5 E kore tetahi e kaha ki te tu ki tou aroaro i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe: i a Mohi ahau, ka pera ano ahau ki a koe; e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe, e kore hoki e mawehe i a koe.
Not a man shall stand against you all the days of thy life; and as I was with Moses, so will I also be with thee, and I will not fail thee, or neglect thee.
6 Kia kaha, kia maia rawa: mau hoki tenei iwi e whakawhiwhi ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o ratou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou.
Be strong and 'quit thyself like a man, for thou shalt divide the land to this people, which I sware to give to your fathers.
7 Heoi kia kaha, kia tino maia rawa ki te pupuri, ki te mahi i nga ture katoa i whakahaua ki a koe e Mohi, e taku pononga: kei peka ke koe i reira ki matau, ki maui ranei, kia tika ai tau i nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.
Be strong, therefore, and quit thyself like a man, to observe and do as Moses my servant commanded thee; and thou shalt not turn therefrom to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest be wise in whatsoever thou mayest do.
8 Kei whakarerea e tou waha tenei pukapuka o te ture; engari kia u ou whakaaro ki reira i te ao, i te po, kia mau ai koe ki te mahi i nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhi ki reira: ma reira ka whai wahi ai koe i tou huarahi, ma reira hoki koe ka kake ai.
And the book of this law shall not depart out of thy mouth, and thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou mayest know how to do all the things that are written [in it]; then shalt thou prosper, and make thy ways prosperous, and then shalt thou be wise.
9 Kahore ianei ahau i whakahau ki a koe? Kia kaha, kia maia; kaua e wehi, kaua hoki e pawera: no te mea kei a koe a Ihowa, tou Atua, i nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.
Lo! I have commanded thee; be strong and courageous, be not cowardly nor fearful, for the Lord thy God is with thee in all places whither thou goest.
10 Na ka whakahau a Hohua i nga rangatira o te iwi, ka mea,
And Joshua commanded the scribes of the people, saying,
11 Haere ra waenganui o te puni, ka whakahau i te iwi, ka mea, Taka he o mo koutou; no te mea kia toru ake ra ka whiti koutou i te Horano nei, ka haere ki te tango i te whenua ka homai nei e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, kia nohoia e koutou.
Go into the midst of the camp of the people, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for yet three days and ye shall go over this Jordan, entering in to take possession of the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives to you.
12 I korero ano a Hohua ki nga Reupeni, ki nga Kari, ki tetahi taanga hoki o te iwi o Manahi, i mea,
And to Ruben, and to Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse, Joshua said,
13 Kia mahara ki te kupu i whakahau ai a Mohi, te pononga a Ihowa ki a koutou, i mea ai, E mea ana a Ihowa, to koutou Atua, i a koutou kia okioki, ka homai hoki e ia tenei whenua ki a koutou.
Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, the Lord your God has caused you to rest, and has given you this land.
14 Ko a koutou wahine, ko a koutou tamariki, me a koutou kararehe, me noho ki te whenua i hoatu e Mohi ki a koutou i tenei taha o Horano, ko koutou ia, ko nga marohirohi katoa, me haere topuni atu i te aroaro o o koutou tuakana, hei whakauru mo rat ou;
Let your wives and your children and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and ye shall go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong; and ye shall fight on their side;
15 Kia meinga ra ano e Ihowa o koutou tuakana kia okioki, kia pena me koutou, a kia whiwhi ratou ki te whenua ka homai nei e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, ki a ratou; katahi koutou ka hoki ai ki te whenua i riro nei i a koutou, ka noho ai hoki ki te wah i i hoatu e Mohi, e te pononga a Ihowa, ki a koutou i tenei taha o Horano, i te putanga mai o te ra.
until the Lord your God shall have given your brethren rest, as also to you, and they also shall have inherited the land, which the Lord your God gives them; then ye shall depart each one to his inheritance, which Moses gave you beyond Jordan eastward.
16 Na ka whakahoki ratou ki a Hohua, ka mea, Ko nga mea katoa e whakahaua e koe ki a matou ka meatia e matou, a ka haere hoki matou ki nga wahi katoa e unga ai matou e koe.
And they answered Joshua and said, We will do all things which thou commandest us, and we will go to every place whither thou shalt send us.
17 Ko to matou rongo ki a Mohi i nga mea katoa, ka pera ano to matou rongo ki a koe: kia noho ra ia a Ihowa, tou Atua, ki a koe, me ia hoki i noho ki a Mohi.
Whereinsoever we hearkened to Moses we will hearken to thee; only let the Lord our God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Ahakoa ko wai te tangata e tutu ki tau whakahau, e kore hoki e rongo ki au kupu, ki nga mea katoa e whakahau ai koe ki a ia, me whakamate: ko koe ia kia kaha, kia maia.
And whosoever shall disobey thee, and whosoever shall not hearken to thy words as thou shalt command him, let him die; but be thou strong and courageous.
