Siosiua 22
1 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua ke haʻu ʻae faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata, mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase,
Ndipo Yoshua akawaita Wareubeni, Wagadi na nusu ya kabila la Manase,
2 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:
naye akawaambia, “Mmeshafanya yale yote Mose mtumishi wa Bwana aliyowaamuru, nanyi mmenitii kwa kila jambo nililowaamuru.
3 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.
Kwa muda mrefu sasa, hadi siku hii ya leo, hamkuwaacha ndugu zenu, bali ninyi mmetimiza ile kazi Bwana Mungu wenu aliyowapa.
4 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.
Sasa kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu wenu amewapa ndugu zenu pumziko kama alivyoahidi, rudini nyumbani mwenu katika nchi ile ambayo Mose mtumishi wa Bwana aliwapa ngʼambo ya Yordani.
5 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.”
Lakini mwe waangalifu sana kushika amri na sheria zile Mose mtumishi wa Bwana alizowapa: yaani kumpenda Bwana Mungu wenu na kuenenda katika njia zake zote, kutii amri zake, kushikamana naye kwa uthabiti na kumtumikia kwa moyo wenu wote na roho yenu yote.”
6 Naʻe pehē ʻae tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Siosiua, ʻo ne fekau ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
Ndipo Yoshua akawabariki na kuwaaga waende zao, nao wakaenda nyumbani mwao.
7 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,
(Kwa nusu ya kabila la Manase Mose alikuwa amewapa eneo katika Bashani na ile nusu nyingine ya hilo kabila Yoshua aliwapa eneo upande wa magharibi ya Yordani pamoja na ndugu zao). Yoshua alipowaaga waende zao nyumbani, aliwabariki,
8 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.
akisema, “Rudini nyumbani mwenu na utajiri wenu mwingi, yaani makundi makubwa ya mifugo, mkiwa na fedha, dhahabu, shaba na chuma, pia wingi wa nguo, nanyi mkagawane na ndugu zenu hizo nyara zilizotoka kwa adui zenu.”
9 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.
Kwa hiyo Wareubeni, Wagadi na hiyo nusu ya kabila la Manase wakawaacha Waisraeli huko Shilo katika nchi ya Kanaani ili kurudi Gileadi, nchi yao wenyewe waliyoipata sawasawa na agizo la Bwana kupitia Mose.
10 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.
Walipofika Gelilothi karibu na Yordani, katika nchi ya Kanaani, Wareubeni, Wagadi na nusu ya kabila la Manase wakajenga madhabahu ya fahari kubwa huko kando ya Yordani.
11 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.”
Waisraeli wengine waliposikia kwamba Wareubeni, Wagadi na ile nusu ya kabila la Manase walikuwa wamejenga madhabahu kwenye mpaka wa Kanaani huko Gelilothi karibu na Yordani kwenye upande wa Israeli,
12 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.
kusanyiko lote la Israeli wakakusanyika huko Shilo ili wakapigane vita dhidi yao.
13 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,
Kwa hiyo Waisraeli wengine wakamtuma Finehasi mwana wa kuhani Eleazari katika nchi ya Gileadi, kwa Wareubeni, Wagadi na hiyo nusu ya kabila la Manase.
14 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.
Wakatuma pamoja naye watu kumi ambao ni viongozi, mmoja kwa kila kabila la Israeli, kila mmoja aliyekuwa kiongozi katika mgawanyiko wa jamaa miongoni mwa koo za Israeli.
15 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,
Walipofika Gileadi, kwa Wareubeni, Wagadi na nusu ya kabila la Manase, wakawaambia:
16 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?
“Kusanyiko lote la Bwana lasema: ‘Je, mmewezaje kuacha kumwamini Mungu wa Israeli jinsi hii? Mmewezaje kumwacha Bwana na kujijengea madhabahu dhidi yake na kumwasi?
17 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, )
Je, dhambi ya Peori haikutosha? Hata ingawa kulikuja tauni juu ya kusanyiko la Bwana, mpaka leo hii hatujatakasika kutokana na dhambi hiyo!
18 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.
Je, sasa ndiyo mnamwacha Bwana? “‘Kama mkimwasi Bwana leo, kesho atalikasirikia kusanyiko lote la Israeli.
19 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.
Kama nchi mnayomiliki imenajisika, vukeni mje katika nchi ya Bwana, mahali Maskani ya Bwana ilipo, nanyi mkajitwalie sehemu miongoni mwetu, lakini msije mkaasi dhidi ya Bwana wala dhidi yetu sisi kwa kujijengea madhabahu, zaidi ya madhabahu ya Bwana Mungu wetu.
20 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.”
Wakati Akani mwana wa Zera alipokosa uaminifu kwa vitu vilivyowekwa wakfu, je, ghadhabu haikulipata kusanyiko lote la Israeli? Hakuwa yeye peke yake aliyekufa kwa ajili ya dhambi yake.’”
21 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,
Ndipo Wareubeni, Wagadi na nusu ya kabila la Manase walipowajibu viongozi wa koo za Israeli, wakisema:
22 “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, )
“Yeye Mwenye Nguvu, Mungu, Bwana! Yeye Mwenye Nguvu, Mungu, Bwana! Yeye anajua! Israeli na wajue! Kama huu umekuwa ni uasi au kukosa utii kwa Bwana, msituache hai siku hii ya leo.
23 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;
Kama tumejijengea madhabahu yetu wenyewe ili kumwacha Bwana na kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za nafaka, au kutoa sadaka za amani juu yake, Bwana mwenyewe na atupatilize leo.
24 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?
“Sivyo! Tulifanya hivyo kwa hofu kwamba siku zijazo wazao wenu wanaweza wakawaambia wazao wetu, ‘Mna uhusiano gani na Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli?
25 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.
Bwana ameifanya Yordani kuwa mpaka kati yetu na ninyi, ninyi Wareubeni na Wagadi! Hamna fungu kwa Bwana.’ Kwa hiyo wazao wenu wanaweza wakawasababisha wazao wetu wakaacha kumcha Bwana.
26 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:
“Hii ndiyo sababu tulisema, ‘Tujiweke tayari na tujenge madhabahu, lakini si kwa ajili ya sadaka za kuteketezwa au dhabihu.’
27 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.’
Badala yake, itakuwa ni ushahidi kati yetu na ninyi na vizazi vijavyo, kwamba tutamwabudu Bwana katika mahali patakatifu pake pamoja na sadaka zetu za kuteketezwa, dhabihu na sadaka za amani. Ndipo katika siku zijazo, wazao wenu hawataweza kuwaambia wazao wetu, ‘Ninyi hamna fungu katika Bwana.’
28 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.’
“Nasi tulisema, ‘Ikiwa wakati wowote watatuambia hilo, au kuwaambia uzao wetu, tutawajibu hivi: Angalieni nakala hii ya madhabahu ya Bwana, ambayo baba zetu waliijenga, si kwa ajili ya sadaka za kuteketezwa na dhabihu, bali kama ushahidi kati yetu na ninyi.’
29 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.”
“Hili jambo la kumwasi Bwana na kumwacha siku hii ya leo kwa kujenga madhabahu kwa ajili ya sadaka za kuteketezwa, sadaka za nafaka na dhabihu, zaidi ya madhabahu ya Bwana Mungu wetu iliyo mbele ya maskani yake na liwe mbali nasi.”
30 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.
Wakati kuhani Finehasi na viongozi wa kusanyiko na wakuu wa koo za Israeli, waliposikia hayo waliyosema Wareubeni, Wagadi na Manase, wakaridhika.
31 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Finiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ki he fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea ki he fānau ʻa Kata, pea ki he fānau ʻa Manase, “ʻOku mau mamata he ʻaho ni ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou fai ʻae meʻa hala ni kia Sihova; ko eni kuo mou fakamoʻui ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he nima ʻo Sihova.”
Naye Finehasi mwana wa kuhani Eleazari, akawaambia Wareubeni, Wagadi na Manase, “Leo tunajua kwamba Bwana yuko pamoja nasi, kwa sababu hamkukosa uaminifu kwa Bwana katika jambo hili. Sasa mmewaokoa Waisraeli na mkono wa Bwana.”
32 Pea naʻe liu mai ʻa Finiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki, mei he fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea mei he fānau ʻa Kata, mei he fonua ko Kiliati, ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻonau ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kiate kinautolu.
Ndipo Finehasi, mwana wa kuhani Eleazari na viongozi wakarudi Kanaani kutoka kwenye kukutana kwao na Wareubeni na Wagadi huko Gileadi nao wakatoa taarifa kwa Waisraeli.
33 Pea naʻe fiemālie ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea naʻe fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻe ʻikai tenau loto ke ʻalu ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu, ke fakaʻauha ʻae fonua naʻe nofo ai ʻae fānau ʻa Lupeni, mo Kata.
Walifurahi kusikia taarifa hiyo, na wakamhimidi Mungu. Wala hawakuzungumza tena habari za kupigana vita dhidi yao ili kuharibu nchi ambayo Wareubeni na Wagadi waliishi.
34 Pea naʻe ui ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata ʻae feilaulauʻanga, “Ko e fakamoʻoni eni ʻiate kitaua ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
Nao Wareubeni na Wagadi wakayaita yale madhabahu Edi, yaani Shahidi: kwa kuwa itakuwa shahidi kati yetu na ninyi kwamba Bwana ndiye Mungu.
