< Siosiua 23 >
1 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.
MAHOPE loa mai o ka hoomaha ana o Iehova i ka Iseraela, mai ko lakou mau enemi a pau, i puni ia lakou, ua elemakule loa o Iosua, ua nui no hoi kona mau la.
2 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:
Houluulu ae la o Iosua i ka Iseraela a pau, i ko lakou mau lunakahiko a me ko lakou mau alii, a me ko lakou mau lunakanawai, a me ka poe luna o lakou, a olelo aku la oia ia lakou, Ua elemakule au, a ua nui no hoi ko'u mau la.
3 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.
A o oukou hoi, ua ike oukou i na mea a pau i hana mai ai o Iehova, ko oukou Akua i keia mau lahuikanaka a pau imua o oukou; no ka mea, o Iehova, ko oukou Akua ua kaua aku oia no oukou.
4 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.
Aia hoi, ua hailona au no oukou i ko na lahuikanaka i koe, a me na lahuikanaka a pau a'u i anai aku ai mai Ioredane a hiki i ka moana nui, ma ke komohana o ka la, i mea hooili no ko oukou ohana.
5 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.
Na Iehova, na ko oukou Akua, e kipaku ia lakou, mai ko oukou alo aku, a e hoonalowale ia lakou imua o oukou; a e hooili mai i ko lakou aina no oukou, e like me ka olelo a Iehova, ko oukou Akua i olelo mai ai ia oukou.
6 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;
E hooikaika oukou e malama a e hana i na mea a pau i kakauia iloko o ka buke o ko kanawai o Mose. Mai huli oukou mai ia mea aku ma ka lima akau, aole hoi ma ka lima hema.
7 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:
Mai hele pu oukou me keia mau lahuikanaka, i ka poe i koe, mawaena o oukou; mai hoohiki hoi i ka inoa o ko lakou mau akua, aole hoi e hoohiki ma o lakou la: mai malama ia lakou, aole hoi e kulou oukou ia lakou:
8 Ka mou pikitai kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, hangē ko ia kuo mou fai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
Aka, e hoopili aku oukou ia Iehova, i ko oukou Akua, e like me ka oukou hana ana a hiki i keia la.
9 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.
No ka mea, ua kipaku o Iehova mai ko oukou alo aku, i na lahuikanaka nui, a ikaika: a o oukou hoi, aole kanaka i ku imua o ko oukou alo a hiki wale mai i keia la.
10 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.
Hookahi kanaka o oukou e alualu aku i ke tausani hookahi; no ka mea, o Iehova, ko oukou Akua, oia no ka mea nana e kaua aku no oukou, e like me kana elele mua ana mai ia oukou.
11 Ko ia mou vakai lahi kiate kimoutolu ke mou ʻofa kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
E malama pono oukou ia oukou iho, e aloha aku ai ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua.
12 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:
No ka mea, ina e hoi hope iki oukou, a e hoopili i na lahuikanaka i koe e noho ana mawaena o oukou, a e mare pu me lakou, a hele iloko io lakou la, a hoi lakou iloko io oukou nei;
13 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.
E ike pono oukou, aole e kipaku hou aku o Iehova, ko oukou Akua i keia mau lahuikanaka, mai ko oukou alo aku; aka, e lilo lakou i mau pahele no oukou, a he mea upiki, a he mea hahau ma ko oukou mau aoao, a i mea ooi ma ko oukou mau maka, a make wale oukou, mai keia aina maikai aku a Iehova ko oukou Akua i haawi mai ai no oukou.
14 “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.
Aia hoi, i keia la, e hele ana au ma ka aoao o ko ka honua a pau; a ua ike hoi oukou ma ko oukou naau a pau, a me ko oukou uhane a pau, aole i haule ka mea hookahi o na olelo maikai a pau a Iehova ko oukou Akua i olelo mai ai ia oukou, aka, ua ko io ia oukou na mea a pau, aole i haule ka mea hookahi.
15 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.
A e like me ka hiki ana mai ia oukou na mea maikai a pau a Iehova ko oukou Akua i olelo mai ai ia oukou; pela no e hoouka mai ai o Iehova i na mea ino a pau maluna o oukou, a hiki i kona hoopau ana mai ia oukou, mai keia aina maikai aku, a Iehova ko oukou Akua i haawi mai ai no oukou.
16 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.”
Aia haihai oukou i ka berita a Iehova ko oukou Akua, i ka mea ana i kauoha mai ai ia oukou, a e hele oukou, a e malama aku i na 'kua e, a e kulou hoi ia lakou; alaila e a mai no ka huhu o Iehova ia oukou, a e make koke auanei, mai ka aina maikai aku, ana i haawi mai ai no oukou.
