1Ko eni ʻae ngaahi lea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Mōsese ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he potu mai ʻo Sioatani ʻi he toafa, ʻi he toafa ʻoku hangatonu ki he tahi Kulokula, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Palani, mo Tofeli, mo Lepani, mo Heseloti, mo Tesapi.
1These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan—in the Arabah opposite Suph—between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2(Ko e fonongaʻanga ia ʻoe ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma taha mei Holepi ʻi he hala ʻoe moʻunga ko Seia ki Ketesi-pania.)
2It is an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea by way of Mount Seir.
3Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fāngofulu taʻu, ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau atu ʻe Sihova kiate ia ke tala kiate kinautolu;
3In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them.
4Hili ʻene tāmateʻi ʻa Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesiponi, mo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi ʻAsitelote ʻi ʻEtilei:
4This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and then at Edrei had defeated Og king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth.
5ʻI he potu mai ʻo Sioatani, ʻI he fonua ʻo Moape, naʻe kamata fakahā ʻe Mōsese ʻae fono ni, ʻo pehē,
5On the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying:
6“Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ʻi Holepi, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mou nofo fuoloa lelei ʻi he moʻunga ni:
6The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough.
7Mou tafoki, ʻo hiki homou fononga, pea ʻalu ki he moʻunga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, pea ki he ngaahi potu ofi ki ai, ʻi he tafangafanga, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi he teleʻa, pea ʻi he potu tonga, pea ʻi he potu matātahi, ki he fonua ʻoe kau Kēnani, pea ki Lepanoni, ki he vaitafe lahi, ʻae vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.
7Resume your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the foothills, in the Negev, and along the seacoast to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great River Euphrates.
8Vakai, kuo u tuku ʻae fonua ki homou ʻao: mou ʻalu ki ai ʻo maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻe Sihova ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko ʻEpalahame mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope, ke foaki ia kiate kinautolu, pea ki honau hako kimui ʻiate kinautolu.’”
8See, I have placed the land before you. Enter and possess the land that the LORD swore He would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants after them.”
9¶ Pea ne u lea kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u mafai ke kātakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻeau pe:
9At that time I said to you, “I cannot carry the burden for you alone.
10Kuo fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea, vakai, ʻoku mou tatau he ʻaho ni mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi hono lahi.
10The LORD your God has multiplied you, so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
11(Kae ʻofa ke fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ke laui liunga afe ʻa homou tokolahi ni, pea tāpuakiʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ne talaʻofa kiate kimoutolu!)
11May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times over and bless you as He has promised.
12ʻE fēfē ʻeku faʻa fai ke kātaki ʻeau pe hoʻomou fakafiu mo hoʻomou kavenga, mo hoʻomou fekeʻikeʻi?
12But how can I bear your troubles, burdens, and disputes all by myself?
13Mou fili ha kau tangata poto, ʻoku loto matala, ʻaia kuo ʻiloa ʻi homou ngaahi faʻahinga, pea te u fakanofo ʻakinautolu kenau puleʻi ʻakimoutolu.
13Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”
14Pea ne mou tala mai kiate au, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa kuo ke lea ki ai ʻoku lelei ia ke mau fai.”
14And you answered me and said, “What you propose to do is good.”
15Pea ne u fili mai ʻae houʻeiki ʻo homou ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae kau tangata poto, pea ongoongo, ʻo fakanofo ʻakinautolu ke puleʻi ʻakimoutolu, ko e kau pule ki he ngaahi toko afe, mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi toko nimangofulu, mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi toko hongofulu, mo e kau matāpule ʻi homou ngaahi faʻahinga.
15So I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them as leaders over you—as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens, and as officers for your tribes.
16“Pea ne u fekau ki hoʻomou kau fakamaau ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Mou fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻa homou ngaahi kāinga, pea fakamaau māʻoniʻoni ki he tangata kotoa pē mo hono tokoua, pea mo e muli ʻoku ʻiate ia.
16At that time I charged your judges: “Hear the disputes between your brothers, and judge fairly between a man and his brother or a foreign resident.
17ʻOua naʻa mou filifilimānako ki he kakai ʻi he fakamaau; ka te mou fanongo ki he siʻi pea mo e lahi; ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē ki he mata ʻoe tangata; he ʻoku ʻae ʻOtua ʻae fakamaau: pea ko e meʻa ʻoku faingataʻa kiate kimoutolu, ʻomi ia kiate au, pea te u fanongo ki ai.’
17Show no partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God. And bring to me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”
18Pea ne u fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ke mou fai.
18And at that time I commanded you all the things you were to do.
19¶ “Pea ʻi heʻetau hiki mei Holepi, naʻa tau ʻalu ai pe ʻi he fuʻu toafa lahi ko ia mo fakamanavahē, ʻaia naʻa mou mamata ʻi he hala ʻoe moʻunga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu; pea naʻa tau hoko ki Ketesi-pania.
19And just as the LORD our God had commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites, through all the vast and terrifying wilderness you have seen. When we reached Kadesh-barnea,
20Pea ne u pehē kiate kimoutolu, Kuo mou hoko ki he moʻunga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu.
20I said: “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.
21Vakai, kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae fonua ʻi ho ʻao: ʻalu hake ʻo maʻu ia, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai kiate koe; ʻoua naʻa manavahē, pe loto vaivai.
21See, the LORD your God has placed the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”
22¶ “Pea naʻa mou ʻunuʻunu mai kotoa pē kiate au ʻo mou pehē, Te mau fekau ʻae kau tangata ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimautolu, kenau asiasi ʻae fonua, pea toe fakahā mai ʻae hala ʻoku totonu ke mau ʻalu hake ai, pea ko e kolo fē ia te mau hoko ki ai.
22Then all of you approached me and said, “Let us send men ahead of us to search out the land and bring us word of what route to follow and which cities to enter.”
23Pea ne u fiemālie lahi ʻi he lea ko ia pea ne u fili ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo tautau tokotaha ʻi he faʻahinga.
23The plan seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.
24Pea naʻa nau afe ʻo ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga, pea ne nau hifo ki he potu tafangafanga ʻo ʻEsikoli, ʻonau vakai foli ia.
24They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out the land.
25Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae fua ʻoe fonua ʻi honau nima, ʻonau ʻomi ia kiate kitautolu, ʻonau ʻomi mo e lea kiate kitautolu, ʻo pehē, Ko e fonua lelei ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua kiate kitautolu.
25They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, carried it down to us, and brought us word: “It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
26Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fie ʻalu hake ki ai, pea ne mou fai talangataʻa ki he fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua:
26But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.
27Pea naʻa mou lāunga, ʻi homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa ʻi he fehiʻa ʻa Sihova kiate kitautolu, ko ia kuo ne ʻomi ai ʻakitautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ke tukuange ʻakitautolu ki he nima ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ke fakaʻauha ʻakitautolu.
27You grumbled in your tents and said, “Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be annihilated.
28Te tau ʻalu hake ki fē? Kuo fakavaivaiʻi homau loto ʻe homau ngaahi kāinga, ʻo pehē, ʻOku lahi hake mo lōloa ʻae kakai ʻiate kimautolu; ʻoku lahi ʻae ngaahi kolo pea ʻoku hoko hake ki he langi honau ʻā; kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻemau mamata ʻi ai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau ʻAnaki.
28Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying: ‘The people are larger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the heavens. We even saw the descendants of the Anakim there.’”
29Pea ne u pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou lilika, pea ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē kiate kinautolu.
29So I said to you: “Do not be terrified or afraid of them!
30Ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻe tau ia maʻamoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi ʻIsipite maʻamoutolu ʻi homou ʻao:
30The LORD your God, who goes before you, will fight for you, just as you saw Him do for you in Egypt
31Pea ʻi he toafa, ʻaia naʻa ke mamata ai ki he fua ko e ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e fua ʻe he tangata hono foha, ʻi he hala kotoa pē naʻa mou ʻalu ai, kaeʻoua ke mou hoko ki he potu ni.
31and in the wilderness, where the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way by which you traveled until you reached this place.”
32Ka ʻi he meʻa ni naʻe ʻikai te mou tui kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua,
32But in spite of all this, you did not trust the LORD your God,
33ʻAia naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he hala ʻiate kimoutolu, ke kumi ʻae potu ke fokotuʻu ai homou ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻi he afi ʻi he poʻuli, ke fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae hala ko ia te mou ʻalu ai, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻi he ʻaho.
33who went before you on the journey, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day, to seek out a place for you to camp and to show you the road to travel.
34Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi lea, pea naʻe houhau ia, pea ne fuakava, ʻo pehē,
34When the LORD heard your words, He grew angry and swore an oath, saying,
35Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoe kau tangata ʻoe toʻutangata kovi ni te ne mamata ki he fonua lelei ko ia, ʻaia ne u fuakava ke foaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai,
35“Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,
36Ka ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune: ʻe mamata ia ki ai, pea te u foaki kiate ia, ʻae fonua kuo ne tuʻu ki ai, pea ki heʻene fānau ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene muimui angatonu kia Sihova.
36except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land on which he has set foot, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”
37Pea naʻe houhau ʻa Sihova kiate au foki koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, Ko koe foki ʻe ʻikai te ke hoko ki ai.
37The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land.
38Ka ko Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, ʻe ʻalu ia ki ai: ke ke tokoni kiate ia: he te ne pule ke maʻu ia ʻe ʻIsileli.
38Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.
39Ka ko hoʻomou ngaahi fānau iiki ʻakinautolu ne mou pehē ʻe hoko ʻo moʻua, mo hoʻomou ngaahi fānau, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae lelei mo e kovi, tenau hoko ki ai, pea te u foaki ia kiate kinautolu, pea tenau maʻu ia.
39And the little ones you said would become captives—your children who on that day did not know good from evil—will enter the land that I will give them, and they will possess it.
40Ka ko kimoutolu, mou tafoki, pea hiki homou fononga ki he toafa ʻi he hala ʻoe Tahi Kulokula.
40But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
41Pea naʻa mou lea ʻo pehē kiate au, Kuo mau fai angahala kia Sihova; te mau ʻalu hake ʻo tau, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fekau ʻe Sihova ko homau ʻOtua kiate kimautolu. Pea hili hoʻomou nonoʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene mahafutau kiate ia, naʻa mou teu pe ke ʻalu ki moʻunga.
41“We have sinned against the LORD,” you replied. “We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
42Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, Tala kiate kinautolu, ʻOua naʻa ʻalu hake, pea ʻoua naʻa tau; he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiate kimoutolu; telia naʻa teʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi fili.
42But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I am not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
43“Pea ne u lea kiate kimoutolu; pea naʻe ʻikai te mou tui ki ai, ka naʻa mou angatuʻu ki he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻo ʻalu hake loto fielahi pe ki he moʻunga.
43So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of the LORD and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
44Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he moʻunga ko homou tali, pea naʻa nau tuli ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he fanga pi, pea naʻe teʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻi Seia, ʻo aʻu ki Hoama.
44Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45Pea ne mou foki ʻo tangi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Sihova ki homou leʻo, pe fakaongo kiate kimoutolu.
45And you returned and wept before the LORD, but He would not listen to your voice or give ear to you.
46Ko ia naʻa mou nofo ai ʻi Ketesi ʻo ʻaho lahi, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho naʻa mou nofo ʻi ai.
46For this reason you stayed in Kadesh for a long time—a very long time.
