Waamuzi 2
1 Malaika wa Bwana akatoka Gilgali, akaenda Bokimu, akasema, “Nimekuleta kutoka Misri, na nimekuleta katika nchi niliyoapa kuwapa baba zako.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova mei Kilikali ki Pokimi, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻaku ʻo hake ʻakimoutolu mei ʻIsipite, pea kuo u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; pea ne u pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te u liʻaki ʻeku fuakava mo kimoutolu.
2 Nikasema, 'Sitakuvunja kamwe agano langu na wewe. Usifanye agano na wale wanaoishi katika nchi hii. Ziangushe madhabahu zao. Lakini hukusikiliza sauti yangu. Je! ni nini hiki ulichokifanya?
Pea ʻe ʻikai te mou alea ke fakataha mo e kakai ʻoe fonua ni: ka te mou laku hifo honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga:’ ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fai talangofua ki hoku leʻo: ko e hā kuo mou fai ai ʻae meʻa ni?
3 Basi sasa nasema, “Sitawafukuza Wakanaani mbele yenu, nao watakuwa miiba kwenu, na miungu yao itakuwa mtego kwa ajili yenu.”
Ko ia kuo u lea foki ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te u kapusi ʻakinautolu mei homou ʻao: ka tenau hoko [ko e ngaahi talaʻi ʻakau ]ʻi homou vakavaka, pea ko honau ngaahi ʻotua ko e tauhele kiate kimoutolu.”
4 Malaika wa Bwana alipowaambia maneno hayo kwa watu wote wa Israeli, watu wakapiga kelele na kulia.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he lea ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe hiki hake honau leʻo ʻe he kakai, ʻo tangi.
5 Waliita mahali hapo Bokimu. Hapo wakatoa dhabihu kwa Bwana.
Pea naʻa nau ui hono hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia ko Pokimi: pea naʻa nau fai ʻi ai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova.
6 Yoshua alipowaruhusu watu waende zao, wana wa Israeli kila mmoja akaenda mahali alipopewa, wakiwa na umiliki wa ardhi yao.
Pea ʻi he tuku ʻe Siosiua ʻae kakai ke ʻalu; naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae tangata taki taha kotoa pē ki hono tofiʻa ke maʻu ʻae fonua.
7 Watu walimtumikia Bwana wakati wa maisha ya Yoshua na wazee walioendelea baada yake, ni wale waliokuwa wameona matendo yote makuu ya Bwana aliyoyafanya kwa Israeli.
Pea naʻe tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻe he kakai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Siosiua, pea mo e ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoe kau mātuʻa naʻa nau moʻui fuoloa ange ʻia Siosiua, ʻakinautolu naʻe mamata ki he ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fai maʻa ʻIsileli.
8 Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, mtumishi wa Bwana, alikufa akiwa na umri wa miaka 110.
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, kuo teau taʻu hono motuʻa mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu.
9 Wakamzika ndani ya mpaka wa nchi aliyopewa huko Timnath Heresi, katika mlima wa Efraimu, kaskazini mwa Mlima Gaash.
Pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻo hono tofiʻa ʻi Timinate-Helesi, ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻi hono potu tokelau ʻoe moʻunga ko Keasi.
10 Kizazi hicho chote kilikusanyika kwa baba zao. Kizazi kingine kilichofuata baada yao ambao hakikumjua Bwana au kile alichokifanya kwa Israeli.
Pea naʻe tānaki foki ʻae toʻutangata kotoa pē ko ia ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai; pea naʻe tupu hake ʻae toʻutangata ʻe taha ʻo hoko mo kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ʻa Sihova, pe ko e ngaahi ngāue foki naʻe fai ʻe ia maʻa ʻIsileli.
11 Watu wa Israeli walifanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pa Bwana, nao wakawatumikia Mabaali.
Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa [nau ]tauhi ʻa Peali:
12 Wakaondoka kwa Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao, aliyewatoa kutoka Misri. Wakaifuata miungu mingine, miungu ya watu waliokuwa karibu nao, nao wakaisujudia. Wakamkasirisha BWANA kwa sababu
Pea naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻonau muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻonau punou hifo ʻakinautolu kiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova.
13 waliondoka kwa Bwana na kumwabudu Baal na Maashtoreti.
Pea naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa Sihova, ʻo tauhi ʻa Peali mo ʻAsitelote.
14 Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka juu ya Israeli, naye akawapa washambuliaji walioiba mali zao kutoka kwao. Aliwauza kama watumwa waliofanyika kwa nguvu za maadui zao waliowazunguka, hivyo hawakuweza kujikinga dhidi ya adui zao.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻo vela lahi ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻoe kau maumau, ʻaia naʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu, pea naʻa ne fakatau ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili naʻe takatakai ʻakinautolu, ko ia naʻe ʻikai tenau kei faʻa tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili.
15 Israeli walipokwenda kupigana, mkono wa Bwana ulikuwa dhidi yao kuwashinda, kama alivyowaapia. Na walikuwa katika shida kali.
Ko e ngaahi potu kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai, naʻe hiki ai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate kinautolu ki he kovi, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa Sihova, pea hangē ko e fuakava ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu: pea naʻa nau mamahi lahi.
16 Ndipo Bwana akawainua waamuzi, waliowaokoa katika mikono ya wale waliokuwa wakiba mali zao.
Ka neongo ia naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻe Sihova ʻae kau fakamaau, ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻokinautolu naʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu.
17 Hata hivyo hawakuwasikiliza waamuzi wao. Hawakuwa waaminifu kwa Bwana na wakajitoa wenyewe kama makahaba kwa miungu mingine na kuabudu. Waligeuka upesi na kuiacha njia waliyoishi baba zao-wale waliotii amri za Bwana-lakini wao wenyewe hawakufanya hivyo.
Ka naʻe ʻikai tenau fie fanongo ki honau kau fakamaau, ka naʻa nau ʻalu holi kovi pe ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ke punou hifo ʻakinautolu ki ai: naʻa nau tafoki vave mei he hala ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi [heʻenau ]fai talangofua ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova: he naʻe ʻikai tenau fai pehē.
18 Bwana aliinua waamuzi kwa ajili yao, Bwana akawasaidia waamuzi na kuwakomboa kutoka kwa mikono ya adui zao siku zote muamuzi aliishi. Bwana aliwahurumia walipougua kwa sababu ya wale waliowadhulumu na kuwasumbua.
Pea ʻi he fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻae kau fakamaau kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻi he fakamaau ʻa Sihova, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻoe fakamaau: he naʻe fakatomala ʻa Sihova ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi toʻe koeʻuhi ko kinautolu naʻe fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu mo fakafiuʻi ʻakinautolu.
19 Lakini mwamuzi alipokufa, waligeuka na kufanya mambo ambayo yalikuwa mabaya zaidi kuliko baba zao walivyofanya. Wakaenda kuifuata miungu mingine kuitumikia na kuiabudu. Walikataa kuacha matendo yao yote mabaya au njia zao za ukaidi.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he pekia leva ʻae fakamaau, naʻa nau tafoki ʻo fakahalaʻi lahi ʻaupito hake ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻi he muimui ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ke tauhi ʻakinautolu, ʻo punou hifo ki ai; naʻe ʻikai tenau tuku ʻenau fai ki honau faianga, pe mei he anga mālohi ʻanautolu.
20 Hasira ya Bwana iliwaka juu ya Israeli; akasema, Kwa sababu taifa hili limevunja masharti ya agano langu ambalo nililiweka kwa ajili ya baba zao-kwa sababu hawakuisikiliza sauti yangu.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻo vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki ʻIsileli; pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he liʻaki ʻe he kakai ni ʻeku fuakava ʻaia naʻaku fekau ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai tenau tokanga ki hoku leʻo;
21 Tangu sasa sitaliondoa mbele yao taifa lolote aliloliacha Yoshua baada ya kufa.
Ngata mei heni, ʻe ʻikai te u kapusi mei honau ʻao ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga naʻe tuku ʻe Siosiua ʻi heʻene pekia;
22 Nitafanya hivi ili kuwajaribu Israeli, ikiwa watafuata njia ya Bwana au sivyo, kama vile baba zao walivyoifuata.
Koeʻuhi ke u ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻiate kinautolu, ke ʻilo pe tenau tauhi ʻae hala ʻo Sihova ke ʻalu ʻi ai, ʻo hangē hono tauhi ia ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai, pe ʻikai.”
23 Ndiyo sababu Bwana aliwaacha mataifa hayo, wala hakuwafukuza haraka na kuwatia mikononi mwa Yoshua.
Ko ia naʻe tuku pē ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia, ʻo ʻikai kapusi vave ʻakinautolu kituaʻā: pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo Siosiua.
