< Joshua 1 >

1 And it came to pass after the death of Moses, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Naue, the minister of Moses, saying,
Na, i muri iho i te matenga o Mohi, o te pononga a Ihowa, ka korero a Ihowa ki a Hohua, ki te tama a Nunu, ki te tangata a Mohi, ka mea,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now then arise, go over Jordan, you and all this people, into the land, which I give them.
Kua mate a Mohi, taku pononga; na whakatika, whiti atu i tenei Horano, a koe me tenei iwi katoa, ki te whenua ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a ratou, ara ki nga tama a Iharaira.
3 Every spot on which you shall tread I will give it to you, as I said to Moses.
Ko nga wahi katoa e takahia e nga kapu o o koutou waewae kua hoatu e ahau a reira ki a koutou, ka rite ki taku i korero ai ki a Mohi.
4 The wilderness and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and as far as the extremity of the sea; your costs shall be from the setting of the sun.
Ko te rohe ki a koutou kei te koraha, kei Repanona nei, a te awa nui atu ana, ara te Awa Uparati, ko te whenua katoa o nga Hiti, a tae noa ki te moana nui, ki te toenetanga o te ra.
5 Not a man shall stand against you all the days of your life; and as I was with Moses, so will I also be with you, and I will not fail you, or neglect you.
E kore tetahi e kaha ki te tu ki tou aroaro i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe: i a Mohi ahau, ka pera ano ahau ki a koe; e kore ahau e whakarere i a koe, e kore hoki e mawehe i a koe.
6 Be strong and 'quit yourself like a man, for you shall divide the land to this people, which I sware to give to your fathers.
Kia kaha, kia maia rawa: mau hoki tenei iwi e whakawhiwhi ki te whenua i oati ai ahau ki o ratou matua kia hoatu ki a ratou.
7 Be strong, therefore, and quit yourself like a man, to observe and do as Moses my servant commanded you; and you shall not turn therefrom to the right hand or to the left, that you may be wise in whatever you may do.
Heoi kia kaha, kia tino maia rawa ki te pupuri, ki te mahi i nga ture katoa i whakahaua ki a koe e Mohi, e taku pononga: kei peka ke koe i reira ki matau, ki maui ranei, kia tika ai tau i nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.
8 And the book of this law shall not depart out of your mouth, and you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may know how to do all the things that are written [in it]; then shall you prosper, and make your ways prosperous, and then shall you be wise.
Kei whakarerea e tou waha tenei pukapuka o te ture; engari kia u ou whakaaro ki reira i te ao, i te po, kia mau ai koe ki te mahi i nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhi ki reira: ma reira ka whai wahi ai koe i tou huarahi, ma reira hoki koe ka kake ai.
9 Behold! I have commanded you; be strong and courageous, be not cowardly nor fearful, for the Lord your God is with you in all places whither you go.
Kahore ianei ahau i whakahau ki a koe? Kia kaha, kia maia; kaua e wehi, kaua hoki e pawera: no te mea kei a koe a Ihowa, tou Atua, i nga wahi katoa e haere ai koe.
10 And Joshua commanded the scribes of the people, saying,
Na ka whakahau a Hohua i nga rangatira o te iwi, ka mea,
11 Go into the midst of the camp of the people, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for yet three days and you shall go over this Jordan, entering in to take possession of the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives to you.
Haere ra waenganui o te puni, ka whakahau i te iwi, ka mea, Taka he o mo koutou; no te mea kia toru ake ra ka whiti koutou i te Horano nei, ka haere ki te tango i te whenua ka homai nei e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, kia nohoia e koutou.
12 And to Ruben, and to Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse, Joshua said,
I korero ano a Hohua ki nga Reupeni, ki nga Kari, ki tetahi taanga hoki o te iwi o Manahi, i mea,
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, the Lord your God has caused you to rest, and has given you this land.
Kia mahara ki te kupu i whakahau ai a Mohi, te pononga a Ihowa ki a koutou, i mea ai, E mea ana a Ihowa, to koutou Atua, i a koutou kia okioki, ka homai hoki e ia tenei whenua ki a koutou.
14 Let your wives and your children and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and you shall go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong; and you shall fight on their side;
Ko a koutou wahine, ko a koutou tamariki, me a koutou kararehe, me noho ki te whenua i hoatu e Mohi ki a koutou i tenei taha o Horano, ko koutou ia, ko nga marohirohi katoa, me haere topuni atu i te aroaro o o koutou tuakana, hei whakauru mo rat ou;
15 until the Lord your God shall have given your brethren rest, as also to you, and they also shall have inherited the land, which the Lord your God gives them; then you shall depart each one to his inheritance, which Moses gave you beyond Jordan eastward.
Kia meinga ra ano e Ihowa o koutou tuakana kia okioki, kia pena me koutou, a kia whiwhi ratou ki te whenua ka homai nei e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua, ki a ratou; katahi koutou ka hoki ai ki te whenua i riro nei i a koutou, ka noho ai hoki ki te wah i i hoatu e Mohi, e te pononga a Ihowa, ki a koutou i tenei taha o Horano, i te putanga mai o te ra.
16 And they answered Joshua and said, We will do all things which you command us, and we will go to every place whither you shall send us.
Na ka whakahoki ratou ki a Hohua, ka mea, Ko nga mea katoa e whakahaua e koe ki a matou ka meatia e matou, a ka haere hoki matou ki nga wahi katoa e unga ai matou e koe.
17 Whereinsoever we listened to Moses we will listen to you; only let the Lord our God be with you, as he was with Moses.
Ko to matou rongo ki a Mohi i nga mea katoa, ka pera ano to matou rongo ki a koe: kia noho ra ia a Ihowa, tou Atua, ki a koe, me ia hoki i noho ki a Mohi.
18 And whoever shall disobey you, and whoever shall not listen to your words as you shall command him, let him die; but be you strong and courageous.
Ahakoa ko wai te tangata e tutu ki tau whakahau, e kore hoki e rongo ki au kupu, ki nga mea katoa e whakahau ai koe ki a ia, me whakamate: ko koe ia kia kaha, kia maia.
