44 Na ka meinga ratou e Ihowa kia whai okiokinga a tawhio noa, i pera me ana katoa i oati ai ki o ratou matua: a kihai rawa tetahi tangata o o ratou hoariri katoa i tu ki to ratou aroaro; i homai e Ihowa o ratou hoariri katoa ki o ratou ringa.
And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as He had sworn to their fathers. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45 Kihai rawa i taka tetahi kupu o nga kupu pai katoa i korerotia e Ihowa ki te whare o Iharaira; i mana katoa.
Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel had failed; everything was fulfilled.
