17 Ao e reke te baronga ae Manate+ rinanon te kanikina* mairoun te Atua,+ ibukina bwa boni ngaia ana karimoa Ioteba.+ Ao kioina ngkai te mwaane ae te tia buaka Makira+ are ana karimoa Manate ao tamani Kireata, ao e a reke irouna Kireata ma Batian.+
2 Ao e reke te kanikina mairoun te Atua ibukia nikirani kanoani Manate n aia utu nako, aika tibun Abietera,+ tibun Ereka, tibun Atiriera, tibun Tekem, tibun Ebee, ao tibun Temita. Aikai boni kanoani Manate are natin Ioteba, aika mwaane ni kaineti ma aia utu nako.+
3 Ma akea natin Terobeata+ mwaane, are natin Ebee, are natini Kireata, are natini Makira, are natini Manate, ma tii natina aine, ao aikai araia natina aine: Maara, Noa, Okera, Mireka, ao Tireta.
4 Mangaia are a nako matan Ereata+ are te ibonga* ao Iotua are natin Nun ao mataniwi, ao a taku: “Bon Iehova ae tua nakoni Mote bwa e na anganira tibwangara i buakoia mwaanera.”+ Ai ngaia are e a angania tibwangaia i buakoia tarin tamaia n aron are e tua Iehova.+
5 Ao iai naba tibwanga aika tebwina aika reke irouni Manate bwa raon naba te aba ae Kireata ao Batian, ake a mena n iteran te Ioretan are te iterana,*+
6 bwa a reke tibwangaia aine aika kaain te baronga ae Manate i rarikia naba kanoana aika mwaane, ao e a riki te aba ae Kireata bwa abaia nikirani kanoani Manate.
7 Ao e moa tiani Manate mai Atera nako Mikemetata,+ are kaitaraa Tekem,+ ao e reitinako te tia nako maiaki* nakon abaia kaain Entabua.
8 E a riki te aba ae Tabua+ bwa abani Manate, ma bon aia tabo kanoan Eberaim te kaawa ae Tabua are n tiani Manate.
9 Ao e ruo rikaaki te tia nakon te Mwarua ae Kanaa, nako maiaki nakon te mwarua. A mena ana kaawa Eberaim i buakon nako ana kaawa Manate,+ ao e mena tiani Manate i meangin te mwarua, ao e toki i taari.+
10 Bon ana tabo Eberaim nako maiaki, ao ana tabo Manate nako meang, ao tiana bon taari,+ ao a* rota ana tabo Atera mai meang ao ana tabo Itakara mai mainiku.
11 E anganaki Manate mai buakon nako aia aono Itakara ma Atera, Betatean ma kaawa ake a mena i aana,* Ibeream+ ma kaawa ake a mena i aana, kaain Toora+ ma kaawa ake a mena i aana, kaain Entora+ ma kaawa ake a mena i aana, kaain Taanaka+ ma kaawa ake a mena i aana, ao kaaini Mekito ma kaawa ake a mena i aana, aika aono aika tenua aika tabukibuki.
12 Ma a aki kona ni bwaini kaawa aikai kanoani Manate, bwa a imanono tibuni Kanaan n tiku ni maeka n te aba aei.+
13 Ngke a a rikirake ni korakora tibun Iteraera, ao a tautoronia tibuni Kanaan+ ma a aki kababaneia raoi ni kakioianako.*+
14 A taku kanoan Ioteba nakon Iotua: “E aera ngkai ko anganira* te tibwa ae tii teuana rinanon te kanikina mairoun te Atua+ ma te aono ae tii teuana bwa tibwangara? Bon aomata ngaira aika ti rangi ni bati, bwa e boni kakabwaiaira Iehova ni karokoa ngkai.”+
15 E kaekaia Iotua ni kangai: “Ngkana aomata ngkami aika kam rangi ni bati, ao waerake nako buakonikai ao kaitiaka te tabo teuana iai ibukimi, i abaia taiani Beritaite+ ao taian Rebaim,+ kioina ngkai e a rangi n ribwa ibukimi aonon Eberaim+ ae maungaunga.”
16 Ao a taku kanoan Ioteba: “E aki tau te aono ae maungaunga ibukira, ao iai aia kaa ni buaka+ aika otinako kabaang mani wiraia* tibuni Kanaan ni kabane ake a maeka n te mwarua,* ake te koraki ake a mena i Betatean+ ma kaawa ake a mena i aana,* ao te koraki ake a mena n te Mwarua* i Ietireera.”+
17 Mangaia are e kangai Iotua nakoia tibun Ioteba, ake tibun Eberaim ao tibuni Manate: “Bon aomata aika rangi ni bati ngkami, ao kam rangi ni korakora. E na aki reke iroumi te tibwa ae tii teuana rinanon te kanikina mairoun te Atua,+
18 ma kam na bwaina naba te aono ae maungaunga.+ E ngae ngke bon te buakonikai ma kam na kaitiakia, ao e na riki bwa tian ami aono mai tabona. Bwa kam na kakioianako tibuni Kanaan, e ngae ngke a korakora ao iai aia kaa ni buaka aika otinako kabaang mani wiraia.”*+
