< Joshua 22 >

1 Then Ioshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh,
Katahi ka karanga a Hohua ki nga Reupeni, ki nga Kari, a ki tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi,
2 And sayd vnto them, Ye haue kept all that Moses the seruaunt of the Lord commanded you, and haue obeied my voice in all that I commanded you:
A ka mea ki a ratou, Kua mau i a koutou nga mea katoa i whakahau ai a Mohi, te pononga a Ihowa ki a koutou, kua whakarongo mai hoki koutou ki toku reo i nga mea katoa i whakahau ai ahau ki a koutou:
3 You haue not forsaken your brethren this long season vnto this day, but haue diligently kept the commandement of the Lord your God.
Kihai koutou i whakarere i o koutou tuakana i enei rangi e maha a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, engari i ata pupuri marie koutou i te whakahau a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua.
4 And nowe the Lord hath giuen rest vnto your brethren as he promised them: therefore nowe returne ye and goe to your tentes, to the land of your possession, which Moses the seruant of the Lord hath giuen you beyond Iorden.
Na kua mea nei a Ihowa, to koutou Atua i o koutou teina kia okioki, ka rite ki tana i korero ai ki a ratou: na reira, hoki atu, haere ki o koutou teneti, ki te whenua hoki i whiwhi na koutou, i hoatu na e Mohi, e te pononga a Ihowa ki a koutou i tawahi o Horano.
5 But take diligent heede, to doe the commandement and Lawe, which Moses the seruant of the Lord commanded you: that is, that ye loue the Lord your God, and walke in all his wayes, and keepe his commandements, and cleaue vnto him, and serue him with all your heart and with all your soule.
Otira kia mahara marie kia mahi te whakahau me te ture, i whakahau ai a Mohi, te pononga a Ihowa ki a koutou, kia aroha ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, kia haere i ana huarahi katoa, kia pupuri i ana whakahau, kia wahi hoki ki a ia, kia whakapotoa o koutou ngakau katoa, o koutou wairua katoa ki te mahi ki a ia.
6 So Ioshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went vnto their tents.
Na ka manaaki a Hohua i a ratou, a tukua ana ratou kia haere: a haere ana ratou ki o ratou teneti.
7 Nowe vnto one halfe of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had giuen a possession in Bashan: and vnto the other halfe thereof gaue Ioshua among their brethren on this side Iorden Westwarde: therefore when Ioshua sent them away vnto their tents, and blessed them,
Na i hoatu e Mohi he kainga i Pahana ki tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi: engari ki tetahi taanga i hoatu e Hohua he kainga i roto i o ratou tuakana i tenei taha o Horano, whaka te hauauru. A, i ta Hohua tukunga atu i a ratou ki o ratou teneti, i manaaki ano ia i a ratou,
8 Thus he spake vnto them, saying, Returne with much riches vnto your tents, and with a great multitude of cattell, with siluer and with golde, with brasse and with yron, and with great abundance of rayment: deuide the spoyle of your enemies with your brethren.
I korero ki a ratou, i mea, Hoki atu ki o koutou teneti me nga taonga maha, me te tini noa iho o te kararehe, me te hiriwa, me te koura, me te parahi, me te rino, me te nui noa atu o te kakahu: tuwhaina atu nga taonga o o koutou hoariri ki o kout ou tuakana.
9 So the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel from Shiloh (which is in the land of Canaan) to goe vnto the countrey of Gilead to the land of their possession, which they had obteyned, according to ye word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Na hoki ana nga tama a Reupena, me nga tama a Kara, me tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, mawehe atu ana i roto i nga tama a Iharaira i Hiro, i te whenua o Kanaana, a haere ana ki te whenua o Kireara, ki te whenua i whiwhi ai ratou, i whakawhiwhia ki a ratou e te kupu a Ihowa i whakapuakina e Mohi.
10 And when they came vnto the borders of Iorden (which are in the land of Canaan) then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh, built there an altar by Iorden, a great altar to see to.
Na, i to ratou taenga ki te takiwa i nga taha o Horano, ki tera i te whenua o Kanaana, ka hanga e nga tama a Reupena, e nga tama a Kara, e tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, tetahi aata ki reira, ki te taha o Horano, he aata nui hei tiro hanga atu.
11 When the children of Israel heard say, Beholde, the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh haue built an altar in the forefront of the lande of Canaan vpon the borders of Iorden at the passage of the children of Israel:
Na ka rongo nga tama a Iharaira e korerotia ana, Nana, kua hanga nga tama a Reupena, me nga tama a Kara, me tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, i tetahi aata ki te ritenga mai o te whenua o Kanaana ki nga taha o Horano, ki te wahi i nga tama a Ihar aira.
12 When the children of Israel heard it, then the whole Congregation of the children of Israel gathered them together at Shiloh to goe vp to warre against them.
A, no te rongonga o nga tama a Iharaira, huihui ana te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki Hiro, i mea kia haere ki te whawhai ki a ratou.
13 Then the children of Israel sent vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to ye halfe tribe of Manasseh into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest,
Na ka tonoa atu e nga tama a Iharaira a Pinehaha tama a Ereatara tohunga ki nga tama a Reupena, ki nga tama hoki a Kara, a ki tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, ki te whenua o Kireara;
14 And with him ten princes, of euery chiefe house a prince, according to all the tribes of Israel: for euery one was chiefe of their fathers housholde among the thousands of Israel.
Me etahi rangatira kotahi tekau hoki hei hoa mona, tatakikotahi te rangatira o ia koromatua, o ia koromatua o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira; he ariki hoki ratou, ia tangata, ia tangata, no nga whare o o ratou matua i roto i nga mano o Iharaira.
15 So they went vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh, vnto the land of Gilead, and spake with them, saying,
Na haere ana ratou ki nga tama a Reupena, ki nga tama a Kara, ki tetahi taanga hoki o te iwi o Manahi, ki te whenua o Kireara, a ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea,
16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord, What transgression is this that ye haue transgressed against the God of Israel, to turne away this day from the Lord, in that ye haue built you an altar for to rebell this day against the Lord?
Ko te korero tenei a te whakaminenga katoa a Ihowa, He aha tenei hara i mea nei koutou ki te Atua o Iharaira, i a koutou ka tahuri atu nei i tenei ra i te whai i a Ihowa, ka hanga nei i tetahi aata ma koutou, hei mahi tutu ma koutou ki a Ihowa?
17 Haue we too litle for the wickednesse of Peor, whereof we are not clensed vnto this day, though a plague came vpon the Congregation of the Lord?
He nohinohi rawa ianei ki a tatou te haranga ki a Peoro, kahore ano nei i horoia atu i a tatou a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, ahakoa ra i pa he mate uruta ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa,
18 Ye also are turned away this day from the Lord: and seeing ye rebell to day against ye Lord, euen to morowe he will be wroth with all the Congregation of Israel.
E tahuri ke nei koutou i tenei ra i te whai i a Ihowa? Na ki te mea ka tutu koutou i tenei ra ki a Ihowa, tera ia e riri apopo ki te whakaminenga katoa o Iharaira.
19 Notwithstanding if the land of your possession be vncleane, come ye ouer vnto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lordes Tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among vs: but rebell not against the Lord, nor rebell not against vs in building you an altar, beside the altar of the Lord our God.
Otiia mehemea he poke te whenua e noho nei koutou, haere ake ki te whenua e nohoia ana e Ihowa, kei reira nei e tu ana te tapenakara o Ihowa, a ka noho i waenganui i a matou: engari kaua e tutu ki a Ihowa, kaua ano hoki e tutu ki a matou, i a ko utou ka hanga nei i tetahi aata ke atu ma koutou i te aata a Ihowa, a to tatou Atua.
20 Did not Achan ye sonne of Zerah trespasse grieuously in the execrable thing, and wrath fell on all the Congregation of Israel? and this man alone perished not in his wickednesse.
Kahore ianei a Akana, te tama a Tera i taka ki te hara i te mea kanga, a tau ana te riri ki runga ki te whakaminenga katoa o Iharaira? a kihai i mate ko taua tangata anake mo tona hara.
21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh answered, and saide vnto the heads ouer the thousands of Israel,
Katahi ka whakahoki nga tama a Reupena, nga tama a Kara, me tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi, ka mea ki nga ariki o nga mano o Iharaira,
22 The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel himselfe shall know: if by rebellion, or by transgression against ye Lord we haue done it, saue thou vs not this day.
Ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o nga atua, ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o nga atua, e mohio ana ia, ko Iharaira hoki ka mohio ano ia; mehemea na te tutu, mehemea ranei na te hara ki a Ihowa, penei kaua matou e whakaorangia e koe i tenei ra,
23 If we haue built vs an altar to returne away from the Lord, either to offer thereon burnt offering, or meate offering, or to offer peace offerings thereon, let the Lord himselfe require it:
I hanga ai e matou tetahi aata hei tahuritanga ketanga i muri i a Ihowa; mehemea ranei hei whakaekenga mo te tahunga tinana mo te whakahere ranei, hei meatanga ranei mo etahi patunga mo te pai, ma Ihowa ake ano e rapu utu;
24 And if we haue not rather done it for feare of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might say vnto our children, What haue ye to doe with the Lord God of Israel?
Mehemea ranei kahore i meatia e matou tenei mea i runga i te tupato, me te ata whakaaro, ka ki, Apopo ake nei ka korero mai a koutou tama ki a matou tama, ka mea, He aha ta koutou kei a Ihowa, kei te Atua o Iharaira?
25 For the Lord hath made Iorden a border betweene vs and you, ye children of Reuben, and of Gad: therefore ye haue no part in the Lord: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the Lord.
Kua whakatakotoria nei hoki e Ihowa a Horano hei rohe ki waenganui o matou, o koutou, e nga tama a Reupena, e nga tama a Kara; kahore o koutou wahi i roto i a Ihowa: pena ka meinga e a koutou tama a matou tama kia mutu te wehi i a Ihowa.
26 Therefore we said, We will nowe go about to make vs an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,
Koia matou i mea ai, Tena, tatou ka haere, ka hanga i tetahi aata ma tatou, ehara i te mea mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga patunga tapu ranei:
27 But it shall be a witnesse betweene vs and you, and betweene our generations after vs, to execute the seruice of the Lord before him in our burnt offerings, and in our sacrifices, and in our peace offerings, and that your children should not say to our children in time to come, Ye haue no part in the Lord.
Engari kia ai tena mea hei kaiwhakaatu ki a matou, ki a koutou, ki o tatou uri hoki i muri i a tatou, kia mahi ai tatou i nga mahi a Ihowa ki tona aroaro, i a tatou tahunga tinana, i a tatou patunga tapu, i a tatou whakahere mo te pai; kei mea a koutou tama ki a matou tama a ko ake nei, Kahore o koutou wahi i roto i a Ihowa.
28 Therefore said we, If so be that they should so say to vs or to our generations in time to come, then will we answere, Beholde the facion of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, but it is a witnesse betweene vs and you.
Koia matou i mea ai, Na tenei ake, kei ta ratou meatanga pera ki a tatou, ki o tatou uri ranei, na ka mea tatou, Titiro ki te mea e rite ana ki te aata a Ihowa, i hanga e o matou matua, ehara i te mea mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga patunga tapu r anei; engari hei kaiwhakaatu i waenganui i a matou, i a koutou.
29 God forbid, that we should rebell against the Lord, and turne this day away from the Lord to builde an altar for burnt offering, or for meate offering, or for sacrifice, saue the altar of the Lord our God, that is before his Tabernacle.
Aue, kia tutu matou ki a Ihowa! kia tahuri atu i tenei ra i muri i a Ihowa, ki te hanga i tetahi aata mo nga tahunga tinana, mo nga whakahere, mo nga patunga tapu ranei, hei mea ke atu i te aata a Ihowa, a to tatou Atua, i mua mai o tona tapenak ara!
30 And when Phinehas the Priest, and the princes of the Congregation and heads ouer the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the wordes, that the children of Reuben, and children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spake, they were well content.
Na, i te rongonga o Pinehaha tohunga, ratou ko nga rangatira o te whakaminenga, ara ko nga upoko o nga mano o Iharaira, ki nga kupu i korerotia e nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga tama a Kara, ko nga tama a Manahi, ka pai ki a ratou.
31 And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest said vnto the children of Reuben and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceiue, that the Lord is among vs, because ye haue not done this trespasse against the Lord: nowe ye haue deliuered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.
Katahi ka mea a Pinehaha tama a Ereatara tohunga ki nga tama a Reupena ratou ko nga tama a Kara, ko nga tama a Manahi, No tenei ra matou i mohio ai, kei waenganui i a tatou a Ihowa, ina hoki kihai koutou i taka ki tenei hara ki a Ihowa: na kua w hakaora nei koutou i nga tama a Iharaira i te ringa o Ihowa.
32 Then Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest with the princes returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, vnto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them answere.
Katahi ka hoki a Penehaha tama a Ereatara tohunga, me nga rangatira, i nga tama a Reupena ratou ko nga tama a Kara i te whenua o Kireara, ki te whenua o Kanaana, ki nga tama a Iharaira, ki te whakahoki i te korero ki a ratou.
33 And the saying pleased the children of Israel: and the children of Israel blessed God, and minded not to goe against them in battell, for to destroy the land, wherein the children of Reuben, and Gad dwelt.
A pai tonu te korero ki nga tama a Iharaira: na whakapai atu ana nga tama a Iharaira ki te Atua, kihai hoki ratou i mea ano kia haere ki runga ki te whawhai ki a ratou, ki te huna i te whenua e nohoia ana e nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga tama a Kara.
34 Then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witnesse betweene vs, that the Lord is God.
Na huaina iho taua aata e nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga tama a Kara, ko Eri: i mea hoki ratou, Hei kaiwhakaatu tena mea ki waenganui i a tatou, ko Ihowa te Atua.
