Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And Moses went, and spoke all these words to all Israel,
1Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē.
2And he said to them: I am this day a hundred and twenty years old, I can no longer go out and come in, especially as the Lord also hath said to me: O Thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.
2Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e taʻu eni ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo hoku motuʻa he ʻaho ni; ʻoku ʻikai te u kei faʻa ʻalu kituaʻā mo haʻu ki lotoʻā: pea kuo pehē foki ʻe Sihova kiate au, ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu koe ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
3The Lord thy God then will pass over before thee: he will destroy all these nations in thy sight, and thou shalt possess them: and this Josue shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath spoken.
3Ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻe ʻalu ia ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ni mei ho ʻao, pea te ke maʻu ʻakinautolu: pea ko Siosiua, ʻe ʻalu ia ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
4And the Lord shall do to them as he did to Sehon and Og the kings of the Amorrhites, and to their land, and shall destroy them.
4Pea ʻe fai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai kia Sihoni pea kia Oki, ko e ongo tuʻi ʻae kau ʻAmoli, pea ki hona fonua, ʻaia naʻa ne fakaʻauha.
5Therefore when the Lord shall have delivered these also to you, you shall do in like manner to them as I have commanded you,
5Pea ʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi homou ʻao, koeʻuhi ke mou fai kiate kinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi fekau ʻaia kuo u fekau ni kiate kimoutolu.
6Do manfully and be of good heart: fear not, nor be ye dismayed at their sight: for the Lord thy God he himself is thy leader, and will not leave thee nor forsake thee.
6Ke ke mālohi koe pea ke lototoʻa, ʻoua naʻa ke lilika, pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu: he ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko ia ia ʻoku mo ō mo koe; ʻe ʻikai te ne fakatukutukuʻi koe, pe liʻaki koe.”
7And Moses called Josue, and said to him before all Israel: Take courage, and be valiant: for thou shalt bring this people into the land which the Lord swore he would give to their fathers, and thou shalt divide it by lot.
7¶ Pea naʻe ui ʻe Mōsese kia Siosiua, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē, “Ke ke mālohi koe pea ke lototoʻa: he ko koe te ke ʻalu mo e kakai ni ki he fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻe Sihova ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai ke foaki, kiate kinautolu; pea te ke fakahoko ʻakinautolu ki ai kenau maʻu ia.
8And the Lord who is your leader, he himself will be with thee: he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
8Pea ko Sihova, ko ia ia ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe; ʻe ʻiate koe ia, ʻe ʻikai te ne fakatukutukuʻi koe, pe liʻaki koe; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē, pea ʻoua naʻa ke puputuʻu.”
9And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the ancients of Israel.
9¶ Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese ʻae fono ni, pea ne ʻatu ia ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Livai, ʻaia naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ki he kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
10And he commanded them, saying: After seven years, in the year of remission, in the feast of tabernacles,
10Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻI he ngataʻanga ʻo hono fitu taʻu kotoa pē, pea ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe taʻu ʻoe tukuange, ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki,
11When all Israel come together, to appear in the sight of the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou shalt read the words of this law before all Israel, in their hearing,
11ʻI he hoko mai ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he potu ʻaia te ne fili, ke ke lau ʻae fono ni ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē kenau ongoʻi.
12And the people being all assembled together, both men and women, children and strangers, that are within thy gates: that hearing they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and keep, and fulfill all the words of this law:
12Fakakātoa fakataha ʻae kakai, ʻae tangata, mo e fefine, mo e fānau, mo e muli ʻoku nofo ʻi ho ngaahi matapā, koeʻuhi kenau fanongo, pea kenau ʻilo, pea manavahē kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea tokanga ke fai ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni:
13That their children also, who now are ignorant, may hear, and fear the Lord their God, all the days that they lire in the land whither you are going over the Jordan to possess it.
13Pea ko ʻenau fānau, ʻaia ʻoku teʻeki hoko ʻo ʻilo ha meʻa, kenau ongoʻi, pea ʻilo ke manavahē kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻi he lolotonga ʻoku mou moʻui ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ki ai ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ke maʻu ia.”
14And the Lord said to Moses: Behold the days of thy death are nigh: call Josue, and stand ye in the tabernacle of the testimony, that I may give him a charge. So Moses and Josue went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony:
14¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻunuʻunu mai ʻa ho ngaahi ʻaho te ke mate ai: ui kia Siosiua, pea fakahā ʻakimoua ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi ke u tuku ha fekau kiate ia.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese mo Siosiua, ʻo na fakahā ʻakinaua ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.”
15And the Lord appeared there in the pillar of a cloud, which stood in the entry of the tabernacle.
15Pea naʻe fakahā ʻa Sihova ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻi he pou ʻoe ʻao: pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae pou ʻoe ʻao ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki.
16And the Lord said to Moses: Behold thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people rising up will go a fornicating after strange gods in the land, to which it goeth in to dwell: there will they forsake me, and will make void the covenant, which I have made with them,
16¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Vakai, te ke mohe koe mo hoʻo ngaahi tamai: pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ni, ʻo ʻalu ʻo fai angahala ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kau muli ʻoe fonua, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻalu ki ai ke nonofo mo kinautolu, pea tenau liʻaki au, ʻo liʻaki ʻae fuakava ʻaia kuo u fai mo kinautolu.
17And my wrath shall be kindled against them in that day: and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured: all evils and afflictions shall find them, so that they shall say in that day: In truth it is because God is not with me, that these evils have found me.
17Pea ʻe tupu ai ʻeku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, pea te u liʻaki ʻakinautolu, pea te u fufū hoku fofonga meiate kinautolu, pea ʻe fakaʻosiʻosi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi kovi lahi mo e ngaahi mamahi lahi kiate kinautolu; ko ia tenau lea ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻIkai kuo hoko ʻae ngaahi kovi ni kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kitautolu ʻa hotau ʻOtua?
18But I will hide, and cover my face in that day, for all the evils which they have done, because they have followed strange gods.
18Pea ko e moʻoni teu fufū hoku fofonga ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei he ngaahi kovi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo ʻosi ʻenau fai, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau tafoki ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
19Now therefore write you this canticle, and teach the children of Israel: that they may know it by heart, and sing it by mouth, and this song may be unto me for a testimony among the children of Israel.
19Pea ko eni, mo tohi ʻae hiva ni maʻamoutolu pea ako ʻaki ia ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ʻai ia ki honau ngutu, koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻae hiva ni ko e fakamoʻoni kiate au, ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
20For I will bring them into the land, for which I swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey. And when they have eaten, and are full and fat, they will turn away after strange gods, and will serve them: and will despise me, and make void my covenant.
20Koeʻuhi ʻi he hili ʻeku ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻaia ʻoku mahutāfea ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi; pea hili ʻenau kai ʻo fakamākona ʻakinautolu, pea nau hoko ʻo sino; tenau toki tafoki ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻo tauhi ʻakinautolu, fakahouhauʻi au, pea liʻaki ʻeku fuakava.
21And after many evils and afflictions shall have come upon them, this canticle shall answer them for a testimony, which no oblivion shall take away out of the mouth of their seed. For I know their thoughts, and what they are about to do this day, before that I bring them into the land which I have promised them.
21Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻae ngaahi kovi lahi mo e mamahi lahi kiate kinautolu, ʻe fakaʻilo ʻenau kovi ʻe he hiva ni ʻo hangē ha fakamoʻoni; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ngalo ia mei he ngutu ʻo honau hako: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻenau mahalohalo ni ʻaia ʻoku nau feʻaluʻalu fano ʻo fai ni, ʻi he teʻeki ai te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ki ai.”
22Moses therefore wrote the canticle and taught it to the children of Israel.
22¶ Ko ia naʻe tohi ai ʻe Mōsese ʻae hiva ni ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, ʻo ne akoʻi ia ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
23And the Lord commanded Josue the son of Nun, and said: Take courage, and be valiant: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with thee.
23Pea naʻa ne tuku kia Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni ʻae fekau, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke ke mālohi koe pea ke lototoʻa: koeʻuhi te ke fakahoko ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he fonua ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ai kiate kinautolu: pea te u ʻiate koe.”
24Therefore after Moses had wrote the words of this law in a volume, and finished it:
24¶ Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Mōsese ʻae tohi ʻoe ngaahi lea ʻoe fono ni ki he tohi, ʻo aʻu atu ki hono kakato,
25He commanded the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord. saying:
25“Naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ki he kau Livai, ʻaia naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
26Take this book, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God: that it may be there for a testimony against thee.
26“ʻAve ʻae tohi ni ʻoe fono, pea ʻai ia ki he kaokao ʻoe puha ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻi ai ia ko e meʻa fakamoʻoni kiate koe.
27For I know thy obstinacy, and thy most stiff neck, While I am yet living, and going in with you, you have always been rebellious against the Lord: how much more when I shall be dead?
27He ʻoku ou ʻilo hoʻo talangataʻa, mo hoʻo kia kekeva: Vakai, ʻi heʻeku kei moʻui mo kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, kuo mou fai talangataʻa kia Sihova; kae muʻa hake ʻo kau ka mate!
28Gather unto me all the ancients of your tribes, and your doctors, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and will call heaven and earth to witness against them.
28¶ “Fakakātoa mai kiate au ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo homou ngaahi faʻahinga, mo homou kau matāpule, koeʻuhi ke u lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi honau telinga, pea ui ki langi mo māmani ke fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.
29For I know that, after my death, you will do wickedly, and will quickly turn aside from the way that I have commanded you: and evils shall come upon you in the latter times, when you shall do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him by the works of your hands.
29He ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻo kau ka mate te mou fakahalaʻi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu, pea tafoki mei he hala ʻaia kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu; pea ʻe tō ʻae kovi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui; ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu ai hono houhau ʻi he ngāue ʻa homou nima.”
30Moses therefore spoke, in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and finished it even to the end,
30Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese kae fanongo ʻae fakataha ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe hiva ni, ʻo aʻu ki hono ngataʻanga.
