1Now after the death of His servant Moses, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying,
1Pea hili ʻae pekia ʻa Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ko e tauhi ʻo Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2“Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, you and all these people, and cross over the Jordan into the land that I am giving to the children of Israel.
2“Kuo pekia ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese; pea ko eni, ke ke tuʻu hake, mo ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, ʻa koe mo e kakai ni kotoa pē, ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki kiate kinautolu, ʻio, ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
3I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.
3Ko e potu kotoa pē ʻe tuʻu ki ai homou ʻaofivaʻe, ko ia kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tala kia Mōsese.
4Your territory shall extend from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great River Euphrates—all the land of the Hittites—and west as far as the Great Sea.
4Mei he toafa mo Lepanoni ni, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe lahi, ko e vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi, ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Heti, ʻo aʻu atu ki he tahi lahi ʻo hangē atu ki he toʻanga laʻā, ko hoʻomou potu ia.
5No one shall stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
5ʻE ʻikai ha tangata te ne faʻa tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻo moʻui: ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻia Mōsese, ʻe pehē pe ʻeku ʻiate koe: ʻe ʻikai te u fakatukutukuʻi koe, pe siʻaki koe.
6Be strong and courageous, for you shall give these people the inheritance of the land that I swore to their fathers I would give them.
6Ke ke mālohi mo ke lototoʻa; koeʻuhi te ke tufa ki he kakai ni ʻae fonua, ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate kinautolu ko honau tofiʻa.
7Above all, be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe all the law that My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may prosper wherever you go.
7Kae kehe ke mālohi pe ʻa koe mo ke lototoʻa ʻaupito, koeʻuhi ke ke tokanga ʻo fai ʻo fakatatau ki he fono kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fekau kiate koe ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese: ʻoua naʻa ke tafoki mei ai ki he nima toʻomataʻu pē ki he toʻohema, koeʻuhi ke ke monūʻia koe ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai.
8This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.
8Ko e tohi ni ʻoe fono ke ʻoua naʻa mahuʻi ia mei ho ngutu: ka ke fakalaulauloto ki ai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ke ke tokanga ʻo fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi ai: he ko ia te ke ngaohi ke monūʻia ai ho hala, pea ke toki fai fakapotopoto ai.
9Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
9ʻIkai ko au kuo u fekauʻi koe? Ke ke mālohi koe pea ke lototoʻa; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa ke puputuʻu: he ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻoku ʻiate koe ia ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai.”
10Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people:
10¶ Pea naʻe fekau ai ʻe Siosiua, ki he kau matāpule ʻoe kakai, ʻo pehē,
11“Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you will cross the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’”
11“Mou ʻalu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe kautau, pea fekau ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, Teuteu hoʻomou meʻakai; koeʻuhi ʻi he teʻeki ngata ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu, te mou hoko atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe Sioatani ni, ke mou hoko ke maʻu ʻae fonua, ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ke mou maʻu ia.”
12But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
12¶ Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata, mo hono vaeua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ʻo pehē,
13“Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’
13“Mou manatu ki he lea ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, Kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻae mālōlōʻanga kiate kimoutolu, pea kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ni.
14Your wives, your young children, and your livestock may remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But all your mighty men of valor must be armed for battle to cross over ahead of your brothers and help them,
14ʻE nofo homou ngaahi uaifi, mo hoʻomou fānau siʻi, mo hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani; ka ʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻakimoutolu mo e mahafutau ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi kāinga, ʻae kau tangata mālohi mo toʻa kotoa pē, ʻo tokoni ʻakinautolu;
15until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”
15Kaeʻoua ke foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae mālōlōʻanga ki homou ngaahi kāinga ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu, pea ke maʻu ʻekinautolu foki ʻae fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kinautolu: pea hili ia te mou toe haʻu ki he fonua ko homou tofiʻa, ʻo maʻu ia ʻo fiemālie ʻi ai, ʻaia naʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova ʻi he kauvai ni ʻo Sioatani ʻo hanga atu ki he hopoʻangalaʻā.”
16So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.
16¶ Pea naʻa nau talaange kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ke fekau kiate kimautolu te mau fai ia, pea ko e potu kotoa pē ʻoku ke fekauʻi ʻakimautolu ki ai, te mau ʻalu.
17Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.
17Hangē ko ʻemau tokanga kia Mōsese ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻe pehē pe ʻemau tokanga kiate koe: kae kehe ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻia Mōsese.
18Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and courageous!”
18ʻIlonga ha tokotaha ʻoku angatuʻu ki hoʻo fekau, pea ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ia ki hoʻo ngaahi lea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fekau kiate ia, ʻe tāmateʻi ia ka ke mālohi koe mo ke lototoʻa.”
