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, which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan, in the plain wilderness, over against the Red Sea, between Pharan and Thophel and Laban and Haseroth, where there is very much gold:
2(Ko e fonongaʻanga ia ʻoe ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma taha mei Holepi ʻi he hala ʻoe moʻunga ko Seia ki Ketesi-pania.)
2Eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Cadesbarne.
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, the eleventh month, the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel all that the Lord had commanded him to say to 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:
4After that he had slain Sehon king of the Amorrhites, who dwelt in Hesebon: and Og king of Basan who abode in Astaroth, and in Edrai,
5ʻI he potu mai ʻo Sioatani, ʻI he fonua ʻo Moape, naʻe kamata fakahā ʻe Mōsese ʻae fono ni, ʻo pehē,
5Beyond the Jordan in the land of Moab. And Moses began to expound the law, and to say:
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 spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have stayed long enough in this mountain:
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.
7Turn you, and come to the mountain of the Amorrhites, and to the other places that are next to it, the plains and the hills and the vales towards the south, and by the sea shore, the land of the Chanaanites, and of Libanus, 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.’”
8Behold, said he, I have delivered it to you: go in and possess it, concerning which the Lord swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their seed 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:
9And I said to you at that time:
10Kuo fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea, vakai, ʻoku mou tatau he ʻaho ni mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi hono lahi.
10I alone am not able to bear you: for the Lord your God hath multiplied you, and you are this day as the stars of heaven, for multitude.
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!)
11(The Lord God of your fathers add to this number many thousands, and bless you as he hath spoken.)
12ʻE fēfē ʻeku faʻa fai ke kātaki ʻeau pe hoʻomou fakafiu mo hoʻomou kavenga, mo hoʻomou fekeʻikeʻi?
12I alone am not able to bear your business, and the charge of you and your differences.
13Mou fili ha kau tangata poto, ʻoku loto matala, ʻaia kuo ʻiloa ʻi homou ngaahi faʻahinga, pea te u fakanofo ʻakinautolu kenau puleʻi ʻakimoutolu.
13Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such whose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint them your rulers.
14Pea ne mou tala mai kiate au, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa kuo ke lea ki ai ʻoku lelei ia ke mau fai.”
14Then you answered me: The thing is good which thou meanest to do.
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.
15And I took out of your tribes men wise and honourable, and appointed them rulers, tribunes, and centurions, and officers over fifties, and over tens, who might teach you all things.
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.
16And I commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is just: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger.
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.’
17There shall be no difference of persons, you shall hear the little as well as the great: neither shall you respect any man’s person, because it is the judgment of God. And if any thing seem hard to you, refer it to me, 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 I commanded you all things that 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 departing from Horeb, we passed through the terrible and vast wilderness, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorrhite, as the Lord our God had commanded us. And when we were come into Cadesbarne,
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 to you: You are come to the mountain of the Amorrhite, which the Lord our God will give to 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 land which the Lord thy God giveth thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord our God hath spoken to thy fathers: fear not, nor be any way 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.
22And you came all to me, and said: Let us send men who may view the land, and bring us word what way we shall go up, and to what cities we shall go.
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.
23And because the saying pleased me, I sent of you twelve men, one of every 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.
24Who, when they had set forward and had gone up to the mountains, came as far as the valley of the cluster: and having viewed 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.
25Taking of the fruits thereof, to shew its fertility, they brought them to us, and said: The land is good, which the Lord our God will give us.
26Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fie ʻalu hake ki ai, pea ne mou fai talangataʻa ki he fekau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua:
26And you would not go up, but being incredulous to the word of the Lord our 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 murmured in your tents, and said: The Lord hateth us, and therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and destroy us.
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.
28Whither shall we go up? the messengers have terrified our hearts, saying: The multitude is very great, and taller than we: the cities are great, and walled up to the sky, we have seen the sons of the Enacims there.
29Pea ne u pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou lilika, pea ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē kiate kinautolu.
29And I said to you: Fear not, neither be ye 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 God, who is your leader, himself will fight for you, as he did in Egypt in the sight of all.
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 (as thou hast seen) the Lord thy God hath carried thee, as a man is wont to carry his little son, all the way that you have come, until you came to this place.
32Ka ʻi he meʻa ni naʻe ʻikai te mou tui kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua,
32And yet for all this you did not believe 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 in the way, and marked out the place, wherein you should pitch your tents, in the night shewing you the way by fire, and in the day by the pillar of a cloud.
34Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi lea, pea naʻe houhau ia, pea ne fuakava, ʻo pehē,
34And when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, he was angry and swore, and said:
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,
35Not one of the men of this wicked generation shall see the good land, which I promised with an oath to 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 the son of Jephone: for he shall see it, and to him I will give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath followed the Lord.
37Pea naʻe houhau ʻa Sihova kiate au foki koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, Ko koe foki ʻe ʻikai te ke hoko ki ai.
37Neither is his indignation against the people to be wondered at, since the Lord was angry with me also on your account, and said: Neither shalt thou go in thither.
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.
38But Josue the son of Nun, thy minister, he shall go in for thee: exhort and encourage him, and he shall divide the land by lot to Israel.
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.
39Your children, of whom you said that they should be led away captives, and your sons who know not this day the difference of good and evil, they shall go in: and to them I will give the land, and they shall possess it.
40Ka ko kimoutolu, mou tafoki, pea hiki homou fononga ki he toafa ʻi he hala ʻoe Tahi Kulokula.
40But return you and go into the wilderness by the way of 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.
41And you answered me: We have sinned against the Lord: we will go up and fight, as the Lord our God hath commanded. And when you went ready armed unto the mountain,
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.
42The Lord said to me: Say to them: Go not up, and fight not, for I am not with you: lest you fall before 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.
43I spoke, and you hearkened not: but resisting the commandment of the Lord, and swelling with pride, you went up into the mountain.
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.
44And the Amorrhite that dwelt in the mountains coming out, and meeting you, chased you, as bees do: and made slaughter of you from Seir as far as Horma.
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 when you returned and wept before the Lord, he heard you not, neither would he yield to; your voice.
46Ko ia naʻa mou nofo ai ʻi Ketesi ʻo ʻaho lahi, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho naʻa mou nofo ʻi ai.
46So you abode in Cadesbarne a long time.
