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 tribes of Reuben, Gad, 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.
He told them, “You have done everything that Moses, the servant of the Lord, told you to do, and you have followed all the commands I gave you.
3 Eso huluane, dilia da dilia na: iyado Isala: ili dunu amo hame yolesi. Dilia da dawa: iwane Gode Ea sia: nabawane hamonanusu.
You have never abandoned your brothers all this time, right up to the present day. You have carefully followed what the Lord your God ordered you to do.
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.
Now that the Lord your God has given peace to your brothers, as he promised, go back home to your land that Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you on the other side of 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 make sure you keep the commandments and the law as Moses instructed you. Love the Lord your God, follow all his ways, keep his commandments, stay close to him, and serve him with your whole being.”
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.
Joshua blessed them, sent them on their way, and they went home.
Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh the land of Bashan, and to the other half of the tribe Joshua had given land west of the Jordan. Joshua blessed them and sent them home.
He told them, “Take all the wealth you have gained back home: the great herds of livestock, the things made of gold, silver, copper, and iron, the huge quantity of clothes. Share all this plunder with your brothers.”
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 tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the rest of the Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and went home to their land in Gilead that they had received at the Lord's command 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.
When they approached the Jordan region, still in the land of Canaan, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built a large and impressive altar beside the Jordan River.
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.”
The Israelites were told, “Look, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the Jordan region of the land of Canaan, on the side belonging to the Israelities.”
12 Isala: ili dunu da amo sia: nababeba: le, dunu huluane da Siailou moilaiga amo eso mabadili fi ilima gegemusa: gilisi.
The Israelites gathered 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.
Before they did so, they sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead.
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.
Ten leaders went with him, one from each of the ten tribes of Israel, and each the head of his family.
15 Ilia da Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Mana: se fi dunu ilia soge Gilia: de amoga doaga: i.
After they arrived they told the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
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 all of the Lord's people say, ‘What is this disloyal act you have committed against the God of Israel by building an altar for yourselves? How could you turn away from him now in such rebellion?
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.
Wasn't our sin at Peor enough? Even now we're still not clean from the plague that attacked the Lord's people.
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.
So why are you turning away from the Lord now? If you rebel against the Lord today, he will be angry with all of us tomorrow!
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.
But if you think your land is tainted then come over to the land of the Lord where the Tabernacle of the Lord is located and share some of our land with us. Just don't 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.”
When Achan, son of Zerah, acted disloyally in taking consecrated things, didn't the whole of Israel suffer punishment? He wasn't the only one who died 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 tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered the Israelite leaders,
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 is God of gods, the Lord is God of gods, and he knows! May Israel also know! If we're in rebellion against God or being disloyal to him then kill us right now!
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 our action of building an altar was to turn away from the Lord, or to use the altar to make burnt offerings or grain offerings or friendship offerings, then may the Lord punish us.
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.
We did this because we were worried that in the future your descendants might say to ours, ‘What have you got 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.
The Lord put a border—the Jordan River—between us and you, descendants of Reuben and Gad. You don't belong to the Lord.’ So your descendants might stop our descendants from worshiping the Lord.
26 Amaiba: le, ninia da oloda hamoi. Gobele salimusa: o Hina Godema iasu hamoma: ne hame hamoi.
So we said to ourselves, ‘Let's build an altar, not for burnt offerings or for 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.
but as a witness between us and you, and for the generations that come after us, that we will come to worship the Lord in his presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and friendship offerings.’ Then your descendants will not be able to say to ours in the future, ‘You don't belong to 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.’
If they were to do so in the future, our descendants could reply, ‘Look at this copy of the Lord's altar which our forefathers made, not for burnt offerings or for 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.”
We would never think to rebel against the Lord or to turn away from him now by building an altar to make burnt offerings or grain offerings or sacrifices. The only altar of the Lord our God is the one stands in front of 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 and the Israelite leaders heard this from the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh they were delighted.
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 replied to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, “Today we know that the Lord is with us because you have not acted disloyally in doing this. Now you have saved the Israelites from being punished by 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 and the Israelite leaders left the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead and returned to the land of Canaan to explain the situation to the Israelites.
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 pleased with the report and God blessed them. They didn't talk about going to war any more to destroy the land where the tribes of Reuben and Gad were living.
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.
The tribes of Reuben and Gad called the altar, “Witness,” because they said, “It is a witness between us that the Lord is also our God.”
