22 Katahi ka karanga a Hohua ki nga Reupeni, ki nga Kari, a ki tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi,
2 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 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 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 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 Na ka manaaki a Hohua i a ratou, a tukua ana ratou kia haere: a haere ana ratou ki o ratou teneti.
7 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
23 A, ka maha nga ra i muri i ta Ihowa meatanga i a Iharaira kia okioki i o ratou hoariri katoa i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, a ka maha haere nga ra o Hohua, ka koroheketia,
2 Na ka karanga a Hohua ki a Iharaira katoa, ki o ratou kaumatua, ki o ratou ariki, ki o ratou kaiwhakariterite, ki o ratou rangatira, a ka mea ki a ratou, Kua koroheketia ahau, kua maha oku ra:
3 A kua kite koutou i nga mea katoa i mea ai a Ihowa, to koutou Atua ki enei iwi katoa, na te whakaaro hoki ki a koutou; no te mea ko Ihowa, ko to koutou Atua, nana ta koutou riri.
4 Titiro, kua oti te wehe atu e ahau mo koutou enei iwi ka mahue nei, hei wahi tupu mo o koutou iwi, o Horano atu me nga iwi katoa i huna e ahau a tae noa ki te moana nui, ki te toenetanga o te ra.
5 A ko Ihowa, ko to koutou Atua, mana ratou e pei i to koutou aroaro, mana hoki ratou e huna i to koutou aroaro; a ka riro to ratou oneone i a koutou, ka pera me te kupu a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua ki a koutou.
6 No reira kia uaua rawa ki te pupuri, ki te mahi i nga mea katoa i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o te ture a Mohi, kei peka ke i reira ki matau, ki maui;
7 Kei haere hoki ki roto ki enei iwi, i mahue iho nei ki waenganui i a koutou; kei whakahuatia nga ingoa o o ratou atua, kei oatitia, kei mahi ki a ratou, kei koropiko ki a ratou:
8 Engari me awhi ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, me pera me ta koutou i mea ai a tae noa mai ki tenei ra.
9 Kua peia hoki e Ihowa i mua i a koutou nga iwi nunui, kaha hoki: tena ko koutou, kahore ano tetahi tangata kia tu ki to koutou aroaro a taea noatia tenei ra.
10 Kia kotahi tangata o koutou hei whai i te mano: no te mea ko Ihowa, ko to koutou Atua, mana ta koutou riri, ka pera me tana i korero ai ki a koutou.
11 Na reira tiakina marietia koutou, kia aroha ai koutou ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua.
12 Ki te anga hoki koutou ki te hoki atu, ki te awhi ki nga toenga o enei iwi, o enei ka mahue nei i roto i a koutou, a ka marenatia ki a ratou, ka whakauru hoki ki a ratou, me ratou hoki ki a koutou:
13 Kia tino mohio, e kore a Ihowa, to koutou Atua e pei ano i enei iwi i mua i a koutou; engari ka waiho ratou hei rore, hei mahanga mo koutou, hei whiu hoki mo o koutou kaokao, hei koikoi i roto i o koutou kanohi, kia huna ra ano koutou i runga i tenei whenua pai ka homai nei e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua ki a koutou.
14 Nana, ko aianei ahau haere ai i te huarahi o te whenua katoa; a e mohio ana o koutou ngakau katoa, o koutou wairua katoa, kahore ano i taka tetahi mea o nga mea pai katoa i korerotia e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua mo koutou; kua pono katoa ki a kouto u, kahore ano tetahi mea o ena i taka.
15 Na tenei ake ka rite ki te putanga mai ki a koutou o nga mea pai katoa i korerotia e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua ki a koutou, ka pera ano te whakaputanga mai a Ihowa i nga mea kino katoa ki a koutou, kia whakangaromia ra ano koutou e ia i tenei when ua pai, kua homai nei e Ihowa, e to koutou Atua ki a koutou.
16 Ina whakapaheketia e koutou te kawenata a Ihowa, a to koutou Atua, i whakaritea mai nei e ia ki a koutou, a ka haere, ka mahi ki nga atua ke, ka koropiko ki a ratou; ko reira mura ai te riri o Ihowa ki a koutou, a ka ngaro whakarere atu koutou i runga i te whenua pai kua homai nei e ia ki a koutou.
24 Na ka whakaemia e Hohua nga iwi katoa o Iharaira ki Hekeme, a ka karangatia e ia nga kaumatua o Iharaira, o ratou ariki, o ratou kaiwhakawa, o ratou rangatira; a tu ana ratou i te aroaro o te Atua.
2 Na ka mea a Hohua ki te iwi katoa, Ko te korero tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, I noho o koutou matua i mua i tawahi o te awa, a Teraha matua o Aperahama, matua hoki o Nahora: i mahi ano hoki ki nga atua ke.
3 Na tangohia ana e ahau to koutou matua, a Aperahama i tawahi o te awa, a arahina ana a puta noa i te whenua o Kanaana, a whakanuia ana tona uri e ahau; i hoatu hoki a Ihaka ki a ia.
4 A hoatu ana e ahau a Hakopa raua ko Ehau ki a Ihaka: a hoatu ana e ahau a Maunga Heira ki a Ehau, hei kainga; ko Hakopa ia ratou ko ana tama i heke ki Ihipa.
5 I tonoa ano e ahau a Mohi raua ko Arona, a patua iho e ahau a Ihipa, peratia ana me taku i mea ai i waenganui i a ratou: a muri iho ka whakaputaina mai koutou e ahau.
6 A whakaputaina mai ana e ahau o koutou matua i Ihipa: a ka tae koutou ki te moana; na ka whai mai nga Ihipiana i muri i o koutou matua ki te Moana Whero, me nga hariata, me nga hoia eke hoiho.
7 A, e ta ratou karangatanga ki a Ihowa, tukua iho ana e ia he pouri ki waenganui o koutou, o nga Ihipiana, a kawea mai ana e ia te moana ki runga ki a ratou, taupokina ana ratou: a i kite o koutou kanohi i nga mea i mea ai ahau ki Ihipa: a he maha nga ra i noho ai koutou i te koraha.
8 Na kawea ana koutou e ahau ki te whenua o nga Amori, i noho ra i tawahi o Horano; a whawhai ana ratou ki a koutou: a tukua ana ratou e ahau ki o koutou ringa, na riro ana to ratou oneone i a koutou; a huna iho ratou e ahau i to koutou aroaro.
9 Na ka whakatika a Paraka tama a Tipora kingi o Moapa, kei te whawhai ki a Iharaira; a tikina ana e ia a Paraama tama a Peoro, hei kanga mo koutou:
10 Otiia kihai ahau i pai kia rongo ki a Paraama; na, ko te manaakitanga i manaaki ai ia i a koutou: a whakaorangia ake koutou e ahau i tona ringa.
11 Na ka whiti mai koutou i Horano, a ka tae ki Heriko: a whawhai ana nga tangata o Heriko ki a koutou, nga Amori, nga Perihi, nga Kanaani, nga Hiti, nga Kirikahi, nga Hiwi, me nga Iepuhi; a tukua ana ratou e ahau ki to koutou ringa.
12 A tonoa atu ana e ahau te horonete ki mua i a koutou, a nana ratou i pei i to koutou aroaro, ara nga kingi tokorua o nga Amori; ehara i te mea na tau hoari, na tau kopere ranei.
13 A hoatu ana e ahau ki a koutou he whenua kihai nei koutou i mahi, he pa hoki kihai i hanga e koutou, a noho ana koutou i reira; ehara i te mea whakato na koutou nga mara waina, mara oriwa ranei, e kainga nei e koutou.
14 Na kona kia wehi i a Ihowa, mahi atu hoki ki a ia i runga i te tika, i runga i te pono: whakarerea atu hoki nga atua i mahi na o koutou matua ki a ratou i tawahi o te awa, i Ihipa hoki; a mahi atu ki a Ihowa.
15 A, ki te mea he kino ki to koutou whakaaro te mahi ki a Ihowa, ma koutou e whiriwhiri i tenei ra ko wai ta koutou e mahi ai; ki nga atua ranei i mahi ra o koutou matua ki a ratou i tawahi o te awa, ki nga atua ranei o nga Amori, e noho nei kouto u ki to ratou oneone: ko ahau ia me toku whare, ka mahi matou ki a Ihowa.
16 Na ka whakautua e te iwi, ka mea, Aue, kia whakarere koia matou i a Ihowa, kia mahi ki nga atua ke!
17 Ko Ihowa hoki, ko to tatou Atua, nana tatou me o tatou matua i whakaputa mai: te whenua o Ihipa, i te whare pononga, nana hoki aua tohu nunui i mahi ki to tatou aroaro, a nana tatou i tiaki i te huarahi katoa i haere ra tatou i roto hoki i nga i wi katoa, i haere mai ra tatou ra waenganui i a ratou:
18 Na Ihowa ano i pei i to tatou aroaro nga iwi katoa, ara nga Amori, i noho nei i tenei whenua: ina, ka mahi matou ki a Ihowa; ko ia hoki to tatou Atua.
19 Na ka mea a Hohua ki te iwi, E kore e ahei i a koutou te mahi ki a Ihowa: he Atua tapu hoki ia; he Atua hae ia; e kore e tukua noatia e ia a koutou mahi tutu, o koutou hara.
20 Ki te whakarere koutou i a Ihowa, a ka mahi ki nga atua ke, na ka tahuri mai ia ka whakawhiu i a koutou, ka huna hoki i a koutou, i muri iho i tana mahi pai ki a koutou.
21 Na ka mea te iwi ki a Hohua, Kahore; engari ka mahi matou ki a Ihowa.
22 Na ka mea a Hohua ki te iwi, Hei kaiwhakaatu koutou ki a koutou ano mo ta koutou whiriwhiri a Ihowa, kia mahi ki a ia. A ka mea ratou, Ae, hei kaiwhakaatu matou.
23 Na reira, e ai ki tana, whakarerea atu nga atua ke i waenganui i a koutou na, ka whakatahuri i o koutou ngakau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira.
24 Katahi ka mea te iwi ki a Hohua, Ka mahi matou ki a Ihowa, ki to tatou Atua, ko tona reo hoki ta matou e whakarongo ai.
25 A whakaritea iho e Hohua he kawenata ki te iwi i taua rangi ano, a hoatu ana e ia ki a ratou tetahi tikanga me tetahi ritenga i Hekeme.
26 A tuhituhia ana e Hohua enei kupu ki te pukapuka o te ture a te Atua; a ka tango ia i tetahi kohatu nui, whakaarahia ake ana i reira i raro i te oki, i te taha o te whare tapu o Ihowa.
27 A ka mea a Hohua ki te iwi katoa, Nana, ko tenei kohatu hei kaiwhakaatu ki a tatou; kua rongo hoki ia i nga kupu katoa a Ihowa i korerotia e ia ki a tatou: na hei kaiwhakaatu ia ki a koutou, kei whakakahore ki to koutou Atua.
28 Heoi tukua ana e Hohua te iwi kia haere, tena tangata, tena ki tona wahi ake.
29 A, muri iho i enei mea, na ka mate a Hohua tama a Nunu, te pononga a Ihowa, a kotahi rau kotahi tekau ona tau i ora ai.
30 A tanumia iho ia e ratou ki te rohe o tona kainga, ki Timenata Hera, ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ki te taha ki te raki o Maunga Kaaha.
31 A i mahi a Iharaira ki a Ihowa i nga ra katoa o Hohua, i nga ra katoa ano o nga kaumatua i hipa ake o ratou ra i o Hohua, i mohio hoki ki nga mahi katoa a Ihowa i mahi ai mo Iharaira.
32 A ko nga wheua o Hohepa, i maua mai e nga tama a Iharaira i Ihipa, i tanumia e ratou ki Hekeme, ki te wahi o te mara i hokona e Hakopa i nga tama a Hamora matua o Hekeme ki nga moni kotahi rau: na riro ana taua wahi i nga tama a Hohepa hei kaing a tupu.
33 Na ka mate a Ereatara tama a Arona; a tanumia ana ki te pukepuke o tana tama, o Pinehaha, i homai ki a ia i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima.

Eastern Tribes Return Home
22 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh 2 and said to them, “You have done all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded,(A) and you have obeyed me in everything I commanded. 3 For a long time now—to this very day—you have not deserted your fellow Israelites but have carried out the mission the Lord your God gave you. 4 Now that the Lord your God has given them rest(B) as he promised, return to your homes(C) in the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.(D) 5 But be very careful to keep the commandment(E) and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you: to love the Lord(F) your God, to walk in obedience to him, to keep his commands,(G) to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.(H)”
6 Then Joshua blessed(I) them and sent them away, and they went to their homes. 7 (To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan,(J) and to the other half of the tribe Joshua gave land on the west side(K) of the Jordan along with their fellow Israelites.) When Joshua sent them home, he blessed them,(L) 8 saying, “Return to your homes with your great wealth—with large herds of livestock,(M) with silver, gold, bronze and iron,(N) and a great quantity of clothing—and divide(O) the plunder(P) from your enemies with your fellow Israelites.”
9 So the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh(Q) in Canaan to return to Gilead,(R) their own land, which they had acquired in accordance with the command of the Lord through Moses.
10 When they came to Geliloth(S) near the Jordan in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an imposing altar(T) there by the Jordan. 11 And when the Israelites heard that they had built the altar on the border of Canaan at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side, 12 the whole assembly of Israel gathered at Shiloh(U) to go to war against them.
13 So the Israelites sent Phinehas(V) son of Eleazar,(W) the priest, to the land of Gilead—to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. 14 With him they sent ten of the chief men, one from each of the tribes of Israel, each the head of a family division among the Israelite clans.(X)
15 When they went to Gilead—to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh—they said to them: 16 “The whole assembly of the Lord says: ‘How could you break faith(Y) with the God of Israel like this? How could you turn away from the Lord and build yourselves an altar in rebellion(Z) against him now? 17 Was not the sin of Peor(AA) enough for us? Up to this very day we have not cleansed ourselves from that sin, even though a plague fell on the community of the Lord! 18 And are you now turning away from the Lord?
“‘If you rebel against the Lord today, tomorrow he will be angry with the whole community(AB) of Israel. 19 If the land you possess is defiled, come over to the Lord’s land, where the Lord’s tabernacle(AC) stands, and share the land with us. But do not rebel against the Lord or against us by building an altar(AD) for yourselves, other than the altar of the Lord our God. 20 When Achan son of Zerah was unfaithful in regard to the devoted things,[a](AE) did not wrath(AF) come on the whole community(AG) of Israel? He was not the only one who died for his sin.’”(AH)
21 Then Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh replied to the heads of the clans of Israel: 22 “The Mighty One, God, the Lord! The Mighty One, God,(AI) the Lord!(AJ) He knows!(AK) And let Israel know! If this has been in rebellion or disobedience to the Lord, do not spare us this day. 23 If we have built our own altar to turn away from the Lord and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings,(AL) or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it, may the Lord himself call us to account.(AM)
24 “No! We did it for fear that some day your descendants might say to ours, ‘What do you have to do with the Lord, the God of Israel? 25 The Lord has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you—you Reubenites and Gadites! You have no share in the Lord.’ So your descendants might cause ours to stop fearing the Lord.
26 “That is why we said, ‘Let us get ready and build an altar—but not for burnt offerings or sacrifices.’ 27 On the contrary, it is to be a witness(AN) between us and you and the generations that follow, that we will worship the Lord at his sanctuary with our burnt offerings, sacrifices and fellowship offerings.(AO) Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to ours, ‘You have no share in the Lord.’
28 “And we said, ‘If they ever say this to us, or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the Lord’s altar, which our ancestors built, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices, but as a witness(AP) between us and you.’
29 “Far be it from us to rebel(AQ) against the Lord and turn away from him today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings and sacrifices, other than the altar of the Lord our God that stands before his tabernacle.(AR)”
30 When Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the community—the heads of the clans of the Israelites—heard what Reuben, Gad and Manasseh had to say, they were pleased. 31 And Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, said to Reuben, Gad and Manasseh, “Today we know that the Lord is with us,(AS) because you have not been unfaithful to the Lord in this matter. Now you have rescued the Israelites from the Lord’s hand.”
32 Then Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, and the leaders returned to Canaan from their meeting with the Reubenites and Gadites in Gilead and reported to the Israelites.(AT) 33 They were glad to hear the report and praised God.(AU) And they talked no more about going to war against them to devastate the country where the Reubenites and the Gadites lived.
34 And the Reubenites and the Gadites gave the altar this name: A Witness(AV) Between Us—that the Lord is God.
Joshua’s Farewell to the Leaders
23 After a long time had passed and the Lord had given Israel rest(AW) from all their enemies around them, Joshua, by then a very old man,(AX) 2 summoned all Israel—their elders,(AY) leaders, judges and officials(AZ)—and said to them: “I am very old.(BA) 3 You yourselves have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake; it was the Lord your God who fought for you.(BB) 4 Remember how I have allotted(BC) as an inheritance(BD) for your tribes all the land of the nations that remain—the nations I conquered—between the Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea(BE) in the west. 5 The Lord your God himself will push them out(BF) for your sake. He will drive them out(BG) before you, and you will take possession of their land, as the Lord your God promised you.(BH)
6 “Be very strong; be careful to obey all that is written in the Book of the Law(BI) of Moses, without turning aside(BJ) to the right or to the left.(BK) 7 Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their gods or swear(BL) by them. You must not serve them or bow down(BM) to them. 8 But you are to hold fast to the Lord(BN) your God, as you have until now.
9 “The Lord has driven out before you great and powerful nations;(BO) to this day no one has been able to withstand you.(BP) 10 One of you routs a thousand,(BQ) because the Lord your God fights for you,(BR) just as he promised. 11 So be very careful(BS) to love the Lord(BT) your God.
12 “But if you turn away and ally yourselves with the survivors of these nations that remain among you and if you intermarry with them(BU) and associate with them,(BV) 13 then you may be sure that the Lord your God will no longer drive out(BW) these nations before you. Instead, they will become snares(BX) and traps for you, whips on your backs and thorns in your eyes,(BY) until you perish from this good land,(BZ) which the Lord your God has given you.
14 “Now I am about to go the way of all the earth.(CA) You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise(CB) has been fulfilled; not one has failed.(CC) 15 But just as all the good things(CD) the Lord your God has promised you have come to you, so he will bring on you all the evil things(CE) he has threatened, until the Lord your God has destroyed you(CF) from this good land he has given you.(CG) 16 If you violate the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land he has given you.(CH)”
The Covenant Renewed at Shechem
24 Then Joshua assembled(CI) all the tribes of Israel at Shechem.(CJ) He summoned(CK) the elders,(CL) leaders, judges and officials of Israel,(CM) and they presented themselves before God.
2 Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your ancestors, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor,(CN) lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods.(CO) 3 But I took your father Abraham from the land beyond the Euphrates and led him throughout Canaan(CP) and gave him many descendants.(CQ) I gave him Isaac,(CR) 4 and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau.(CS) I assigned the hill country of Seir(CT) to Esau, but Jacob and his family went down to Egypt.(CU)
5 “‘Then I sent Moses and Aaron,(CV) and I afflicted the Egyptians by what I did there, and I brought you out.(CW) 6 When I brought your people out of Egypt, you came to the sea,(CX) and the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen[b](CY) as far as the Red Sea.[c](CZ) 7 But they cried(DA) to the Lord for help, and he put darkness(DB) between you and the Egyptians; he brought the sea over them and covered them.(DC) You saw with your own eyes what I did to the Egyptians.(DD) Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time.(DE)
8 “‘I brought you to the land of the Amorites(DF) who lived east of the Jordan. They fought against you, but I gave them into your hands. I destroyed them from before you, and you took possession of their land.(DG) 9 When Balak son of Zippor,(DH) the king of Moab, prepared to fight against Israel, he sent for Balaam son of Beor(DI) to put a curse on you.(DJ) 10 But I would not listen to Balaam, so he blessed you(DK) again and again, and I delivered you out of his hand.
11 “‘Then you crossed the Jordan(DL) and came to Jericho.(DM) The citizens of Jericho fought against you, as did also the Amorites, Perizzites,(DN) Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites and Jebusites,(DO) but I gave them into your hands.(DP) 12 I sent the hornet(DQ) ahead of you, which drove them out(DR) before you—also the two Amorite kings. You did not do it with your own sword and bow.(DS) 13 So I gave you a land(DT) on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.’(DU)
14 “Now fear the Lord(DV) and serve him with all faithfulness.(DW) Throw away the gods(DX) your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt,(DY) and serve the Lord. 15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites,(DZ) in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household,(EA) we will serve the Lord.”(EB)
16 Then the people answered, “Far be it from us to forsake(EC) the Lord to serve other gods! 17 It was the Lord our God himself who brought us and our parents up out of Egypt, from that land of slavery,(ED) and performed those great signs(EE) before our eyes. He protected us on our entire journey and among all the nations through which we traveled. 18 And the Lord drove out(EF) before us all the nations,(EG) including the Amorites, who lived in the land.(EH) We too will serve the Lord, because he is our God.(EI)”
19 Joshua said to the people, “You are not able to serve the Lord. He is a holy God;(EJ) he is a jealous God.(EK) He will not forgive(EL) your rebellion(EM) and your sins. 20 If you forsake the Lord(EN) and serve foreign gods, he will turn(EO) and bring disaster(EP) on you and make an end of you,(EQ) after he has been good to you.”
21 But the people said to Joshua, “No! We will serve the Lord.”
22 Then Joshua said, “You are witnesses(ER) against yourselves that you have chosen(ES) to serve the Lord.”
“Yes, we are witnesses,(ET)” they replied.
23 “Now then,” said Joshua, “throw away the foreign gods(EU) that are among you and yield your hearts(EV) to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
24 And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God and obey him.”(EW)
25 On that day Joshua made a covenant(EX) for the people, and there at Shechem(EY) he reaffirmed for them decrees and laws.(EZ) 26 And Joshua recorded(FA) these things in the Book of the Law of God.(FB) Then he took a large stone(FC) and set it up there under the oak(FD) near the holy place of the Lord.
27 “See!” he said to all the people. “This stone(FE) will be a witness(FF) against us. It has heard all the words the Lord has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue(FG) to your God.”(FH)
28 Then Joshua dismissed the people, each to their own inheritance.(FI)
Buried in the Promised Land(FJ)
29 After these things, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died(FK) at the age of a hundred and ten.(FL) 30 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Serah[d](FM) in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.(FN)
31 Israel served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders(FO) who outlived him and who had experienced everything the Lord had done for Israel.
32 And Joseph’s bones,(FP) which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt,(FQ) were buried at Shechem in the tract of land(FR) that Jacob bought for a hundred pieces of silver[e] from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. This became the inheritance of Joseph’s descendants.
33 And Eleazar son of Aaron(FS) died and was buried at Gibeah,(FT) which had been allotted to his son Phinehas(FU) in the hill country(FV) of Ephraim.

3 Na i te tekau ma rima o nga tau o te rangatiratanga o Taipiria Hiha, i a Ponotia Pirato e kawana ana i Huria, i a Herora e tetaraki ana i Kariri, i tona teina hoki, i a Piripi, e tetaraki ana i Ituria, i te whenua hoki o Tarakonaiti, ko Raihania e tetaraki ana i Apirini,
2 Ko Anaha raua ko Kaiapa nga tohunga nui, ka puta te kupu a te Atua ki a Hoani tama a Hakaraia ki te koraha.
3 Na ka haere mai ia ki nga wahi katoa e patata ana ki Horano, ka kauwhau i te iriiri ripeneta hei murunga hara;
4 I pera ano ia me te mea i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga korero a Ihaia poropiti, He reo no tetahi i te koraha e karanga ana, Whakapaia te huarahi o te Ariki, whakatikaia ona ara;
5 Ka whakakiia nga awaawa katoa, ka whakahoroa nga maunga me nga pukepuke katoa; e meinga hoki kia tika nga wahi kopikopiko, ko nga wahi taratara hei ara maeneene.
6 A e kite nga kikokiko katoa i te whakaoranga a te Atua.
7 Na reira ka mea ia ki nga mano i haere kia iriiria e ia, E te uri nakahi, na wai koutou i whakamahara kia rere i te riri meake puta mai?
8 Na whakaputaina nga hua e rite ana ki o te ripeneta; kei anga kei mea i roto i a koutou, Ko Aperahama to tatou matua: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E ahei ana ano i te Atua te whakaara tamariki ake ma Aperahama i roto i enei kohatu.
9 Na inaianei ano kei te pa te toki ki te pakiaka o nga rakau: ki te kahore tetahi rakau e hua i te hua pai, ka tuaina, ka maka ki te ahi.
10 Na ka ui nga mano ki a ia, ka mea, Me aha ra matou?
11 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te tangata i nga koti e rua, kia hoatu ki te tangata kahore ona; me te tangata he kai tana, kia pera ano.
12 Na ka haere mai hoki nga pupirikana kia iriiria, ka mea ki a ia, E te kaiwhakaako, me aha matou?
13 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kei nui ake i nga mea i whakaritea ma koutou ta koutou e tango ai.
14 Ka ui ano hoki nga hoia ki a ia, ka mea, Me aha hoki matou? Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, Kaua e tukinotia tetahi, kaua e muru noa i tetahi mea; kati ano ma koutou ko o koutou utu.
15 Na, i te iwi e tatari ana e whakaaroaro katoa ana i roto i o ratou ngakau ki a Hoani, mehemea ko te Karaiti ia;
16 Ka whakahoki a Hoani, ka mea ki a ratou katoa, Ko ahau nei, he iriiri taku i a koutou ki te wai; kei te haere mai ia tetahi he kaha rawa ake i ahau, e kore ahau e tau hei wewete i te here o ona hu: mana koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te k apura.
17 Ko tana mea tahi kei tona ringa, hei tino tahi i tana patunga witi, hei kohi hoki i te witi ki roto ki tana whare witi: ko te papapa ia e tahuna ki te kapura e kore e tineia.
18 He maha atu ano ana kupu whakahau i kauwhau ai ia i te rongopai ki te iwi.
19 Otira, na tona riringa i a Herora tetaraki mo Heroriaha, mo te wahine a tona tuakana, a Piripi, a mo nga kino katoa hoki i meinga e Herora;
20 Ka apititia atu e Herora tenei ki runga i era katoa, tutakina ana e ia a Hoani ki te whare herehere.
21 Na, ka poto katoa te iwi te iriiri, i a Ihu kua oti te iriiri, a i a ia e inoi ana, ka tuwhera te rangi,
22 A ka heke iho te Wairua Tapu, ka heke tinana iho, ano he kukupa, ki runga ki a ia, a ka puta mai he reo no te rangi, e mea ana, Ko koe taku Tama i aroha ai, taku i ahuareka ai.
23 Na ko Ihu, i a ia i timata ai ki te whakaako, kei te toru tekau ona tau, a ki ta te tangata ki, he tama ia na Hohepa, tama a Heri,

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)(B)
3 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—when Pontius Pilate(C) was governor of Judea, Herod(D) tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene— 2 during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,(E) the word of God came to John(F) son of Zechariah(G) in the wilderness. 3 He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.(H) 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.
5 Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth.
6 And all people will see God’s salvation.’”[a](I)
7 John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers!(J) Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(K) 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(L) For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 9 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”(M)
10 “What should we do then?”(N) the crowd asked.
11 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”(O)
12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized.(P) “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
13 “Don’t collect any more than you are required to,”(Q) he told them.
14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?”
He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely(R)—be content with your pay.”
15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John(S) might possibly be the Messiah.(T) 16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with[b] water.(U) But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with[c] the Holy Spirit and fire.(V) 17 His winnowing fork(W) is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”(X) 18 And with many other words John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them.
19 But when John rebuked Herod(Y) the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother’s wife, and all the other evil things he had done, 20 Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.(Z)
The Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus(AA)(AB)
21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying,(AC) heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him(AD) in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son,(AE) whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”(AF)
