Yosiua 22
1 Amalalu, Yosiua da Liubene fi, Ga: de fi amola Eso Mabadi la: idi Mana: se fi huluane gilisima: ne sia: i.
Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh
2 E da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da liligi huluane amo Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese dilima hamoma: ne sia: i amo huluane hamoi dagoi. Amola dilia da na hamoma: ne sia: i huluane nabasu.
and told them, “You have done all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and you have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
3 Eso huluane, dilia da dilia na: iyado Isala: ili dunu amo hame yolesi. Dilia da dawa: iwane Gode Ea sia: nabawane hamonanusu.
All this time you have not deserted your brothers, up to this very day, but have kept the charge given you by the LORD your God.
4 Be wali, dilia Hina Gode da Ea ilegele sia: i defele, dilia Isala: ili yolalali ilima olofosu i dagoi. Amaiba: le, soge amo Yodane Hano eso mabadi la: idi amo dilia ilegei amola Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da dilima i, amo sogega buhagima.
And now that the LORD your God has given your brothers rest as He promised them, you may return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you across the Jordan.
5 Dilia hamoma: ne sia: i amo Mousese da dilima olelei amo noga: le nabima. Dilia Hina Godema asigima, Ea hanai hamoma, Ea hamoma: ne sia: i noga: le nabima amola mae fisili, dilia dogoga, dilia asigi dawa: suga amola dilia da: i hodo huluane amoga Ea hawa: asigiwane hamoma.
But be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
6 Yosiua da ili asunasi. E da Gode Ea hahawane dogolegelewane fidisu ilima sia: i. E amane sia: i, “Dilia da bagadewane gaguiwane dilia sogega masunu. Dilia da ohe fi, silifa, gouli, balasi, ouli amola abula bagohame gala. Dilia sogega ahoasea, dilia fi dunu eno ilima dilia liligi dilima ha lai dunuma lai amo mogili ilima ima.” Amalalu, ilia da fisili ilia sogega masunusa: asi. Mousese da soge amo Yodane Hano eso mabadi la: idi amo mogili Ma: na: se fi la: idi ilima i. Be Ma: na: se fi la: idi eno ilima Yosiua da soge Yodane eso dabe la: idi amo ilima i. Amola e da soge eno Isala: ili fi ilima i.
So Joshua blessed them and sent them on their way, and they went to their homes.
(To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan, and to the other half Joshua gave land on the west side of the Jordan among their brothers.) When Joshua sent them to their homes he blessed them,
saying, “Return to your homes with your great wealth, with immense herds of livestock, with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and very many clothes. Divide with your brothers the spoil of your enemies.”
9 Amaiba: le, Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Mana: se, amo fi dunu da ilia sogega buhagi. Ilia da Siailou moilai bai bagade Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini, amoga Isala: ili dunu eno fisili, ilia soge amoga doaga: musa: asi. Ilia soge da Gilia: de. Ilia da amo soge, Hina Gode da Mousesema sia: i defele, lai dagoi.
So the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan to return to their own land of Gilead, which they had acquired according to the command of the LORD through Moses.
10 Liubene fi, Ga: de fi amola Eso Mabadi Ma: na: se fi da Gilailode sogebiga doaga: loba (Gilailode da Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi galu), ilia da hano bega: oloda bagade hamoi.
And when they came to Geliloth near the Jordan in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an imposing altar there by the Jordan.
11 Ba: su dunu da Isala: ili fi dunu eno ilima amane sia: ne iasu, “Nabima! Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Mana: se amo fi dunu da Gilailode sogebi amo Yodane ninia la: idi amoga oloda hamoi dagoi.”
Then the Israelites received the report: “Behold, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar on the border of the land of Canaan, at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side.”
12 Isala: ili dunu da amo sia: nababeba: le, dunu huluane da Siailou moilaiga amo eso mabadili fi ilima gegemusa: gilisi.
And when they heard this, the whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh to go to war against them.
13 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da gobele salasu dunu Elia: isa amo ea mano Finia: se, amo Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Ma: na: se fi dunuma sia: ma: ne asunasi.
The Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the land of Gilead, to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
14 Isala: ili bisilua dunu nabuane gala da Finia: se sigi asi. Eso dabe laidi fi nabuane gala da afae afae fi bisilua dunu afadafa ilia fi amoga asunasi.
With him they sent ten chiefs—one family leader from each tribe of Israel, each the head of a family among the clans of Israel.
15 Ilia da Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Mana: se fi dunu ilia soge Gilia: de amoga doaga: i.
They went to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead and said to them,
16 Ilia da eso mabadi la: idi fi ilima amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Ea fi gilisi huluane da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia da abuliba: le Isala: ili Hina Godema amo wadela: i hou hamobela: ? Dilisu da oloda hamobeba: le, Gode Ea sia: hame nabasu. Dilia da Ema fa: no bobogesu hou yolesi dagoi.
“This is what the whole congregation of the LORD says: ‘What is this breach of faith you have committed today against the God of Israel by turning away from the LORD and building for yourselves an altar, that you might rebel against the LORD this day?
17 Ninia wadela: i hou Bio goumia hamoi amo bu dawa: ma! Hina Gode da ninima olo bagade iabeba: le, ninia se bagade nabi. Amo se nabasu da wali diala. Bu wadela: le hamomu da hamedei.
Was not the sin of Peor enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day? It even brought a plague upon the congregation of the LORD.
18 Dilia da wali Ema fa: no bobogemu higama: bela: ? Dilia da wali eso Ema odoga: sea, E da aya Isala: ili dunu huluane ilima ougimu.
And now, would you turn away from the LORD? If you rebel today against the LORD, tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
19 Defea! Dilia soge amo ganodini dilia da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: defele hame o ledo gala ba: sea, Hina Gode Ea soge eso dabe la: ididili (amo ganodini Ea Da: bena: gele abula diasu diala), amoga misa. Ninia gilisisu ganodini soge ilegema. Be dilia Godema hame nabasu hou hamosa: besa: le amola E da ninia da hame nabasu dunu dawa: sa: besa: le, ninia Hina Godema oloda eno mae hamoma. Ea olodadafa da gagui dagoi.
If indeed the land of your inheritance is unclean, then cross over to the land of the LORD’s possession, where the LORD’s tabernacle stands, and take possession of it among us. But do not rebel against the LORD or against us by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.
20 Sela ea mano A: iga: ne bu dawa: ma! E da Gode Ea sia: i amo liligi huluane da wadela: musa: ilegei dagoi, amo hame nabasu. Ea wadela: i houba: le, Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu huluanema se iasu. A: iga: ne fawane hame be eno dunu amolawane, da ea wadela: le hou hamoiba: le bogoi.”
Was not Achan son of Zerah unfaithful regarding what was set apart for destruction, bringing wrath upon the whole congregation of Israel? Yet it was not only Achan who perished because of his sin!’”
21 Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Ma: na: se fi dunu da Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi fi amo bisilua dunuma bu adole i,
Then the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered the leaders of the clans of Israel:
22 “Gasa Bagadedafa Gode da Hinadafa! Gasa Bagadedafa Gode da Hina Godedafa! Ninia amo hou hamoi E dawa: , amola dilia amolawane dawa: mu ninia da hanai. Ninia da hame nabasu hou hamoi ganiaba amola dafawaneyale dawa: su hou fisiagai ganiaba, dilia da nini medole legemu da defea gala: loba.
“The LORD, the Mighty One, is God! The LORD, the Mighty One, is God! He knows, and may Israel also know. If this was in rebellion or breach of faith against the LORD, do not spare us today.
23 Ninia da Hina Gode Ea sia: mae nabawane ninisu oloda gobele sanasimusa: o gagoma amola hahawane gilisisu iasu hahamoma: ne hamoi ganiaba, Hina Gode Hisu da ninima se imunu da defea gala: loba.
If we have built for ourselves an altar to turn away from Him and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings on it, or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it, may the LORD Himself hold us accountable.
24 Be hame mabu! Diligaga fi da hobea ninigaga fi ilima sia: sa: besa: le, ninia da beda: iba: le agoane hamosu. Ilia da ninigaga fi ilima agoane sia: sa: besa: le amane, ‘Ninia Isala: ili Hina Gode da dilia Gode hame.
But in fact we have done this for fear that in the future your descendants might say to ours, ‘What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?
25 E da Yodane Hano alalo amo da afafasu alalo, ninia amola dilia Liubene amola Ga: de amo afafama: ne ilegei dagoi.’ Amasea, diligaga fi da ninigaga fi ilia Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu logo hedofasa: besa: le, ninia agoane hamoi.
For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you Reubenites and Gadites. You have no share in the LORD!’ So your descendants could cause ours to stop fearing the LORD.
26 Amaiba: le, ninia da oloda hamoi. Gobele salimusa: o Hina Godema iasu hamoma: ne hame hamoi.
That is why we said, ‘Let us take action and build an altar for ourselves, but not for burnt offerings or sacrifices.
27 Be amo da ninima, dilima amola ninigaga fi huluane ilima dawa: digima: ne olelesu agoane dialoma: ne hamoi. Amo wanonesisu ea olelesu da ninia eso mabadi fi da dafawane Hina Gode Ea ilegei sogebi amoga Ea hadigi abula diasuga Ema nodone sia: ne gadolala amola Ema Hahawane Gilisili Olofole Iasu amola Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne gobele salasu iaha. Diligaga fi da ninigaga fi Hina Godema afafai, amo ilia sia: sa: besa: le agoane hamoi.
Rather, let it be a witness between us and you and the generations to come, that we will worship the LORD in His presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and peace offerings.’ Then in the future, your descendants cannot say to ours, ‘You have no share in the LORD!’
28 Ninia da agoane dawa: i galu. Amo hou fa: no agoane ba: loba, ninigaga fi da amane sia: la: loba, ‘Ba: ma! Ninia aowalali da oloda amo Hina Gode Ea olodadafa defele hamosu. Amo da hahawane iasu o gobele salasu hamoma: ne hame hamoi. Be ninia dunu amola dilia dunu nini huluanema dawa: digima: ne olelesu dialoma: ne.’
Therefore we said, ‘If they ever say this to us or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the altar of the LORD that our fathers made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’
29 Ninia da Hina Godema odoga: su hou hame hamomu. Ninia da Hina Godema fa: no bobogesu hou fisili, oloda amo da: iya Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne gobele salasu amola Hahawane Gilisili Olofole Iasu hamoma: ne hamedafa hamomu. Ninia olodadafa afae fawane da ninia Hina Gode Ea olodadafa amo da Ea esalebe Da: bena: gele abula diasu ea midadi lela.”
Far be it from us to rebel against the LORD and turn away from Him today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings, or sacrifices, other than the altar of the LORD our God, which stands before His tabernacle.”
30 Gobele salasu dunu Finia: se amola Isala: ili fi eso dabe la: idi esalebe bisilua dunu nabuane gala da Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Ma: na: se fi dunu ilia sia: nababeba: le, olofoi galu.
When Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the congregation—the heads of Israel’s clans who were with him—heard what the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh had to say, they were satisfied.
31 Gobele salasu dunu Elia: isa ea mano Finia: se, da ilima amane sia: i, “Wali ninia dawa: ! Hina Gode da nini sigi esala! Dafawane! Dilia da Ema hame nabasu hou hame hamoi. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili da Hina Gode Ea se iasu hame ba: mu.”
Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this breach of faith against Him. Consequently, you have delivered the Israelites from the hand of the LORD.”
32 Amalalu, Finia: se amola Isala: ili bisilua dunu da Liubene fi amola Ga: de fi Gilia: de sogega esalu fisili, Ga: ina: ne sogega buhagi.
Then Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, together with the other leaders, returned to the Israelites in the land of Canaan and brought back a report regarding the Reubenites and Gadites in the land of Gilead.
33 Isala: ili dunu da hahawane ba: i amola Godema nodosu. Ilia musa: sia: amo gegemusa: amola soge amoga Liubene dunu amola Ga: de dunu da fi galu amo wadela: musa: , amo sia: yolesi dagoi.
The Israelites were satisfied with the report, and they blessed God and spoke no more about going to war against them to destroy the land where the Reubenites and Gadites lived.
34 Liubene fi dunu amola Ga: de fi dunu da amane sia: i, “Amo oloda da Hina Gode da Godedafa amo ninia huluanema dawa: digima: ne olelesu ba: su agoane.” Amaiba: le, ilia amo olodama “Dawa: digima: ne Olelesu Ba: su” dio asuli.
So the Reubenites and Gadites named the altar Witness, for they said, “It is a witness between us that the LORD is God.”
