1 Te vaengah Reuben ca rhoek te boiva muep om tih Gad ca taengah khaw ping uh khungdaeng. Te phoeiah Jazer khohmuen neh Gilead khohmuen te a sawt vaengah a hmuen khaw boiva hmuen la tarha a hmuhuh.

Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.

2 Te dongah Gad koca rhoek neh Reuben koca rhoek te cet uh tih Moses taeng neh khosoih Eleazar taengah khaw, rhaengpuei khoboei rhoek taengah khaw a thui uh.

So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,

3 Te vaengah Ataroth neh Dibon, Jazer neh Nimrah, Heshbon neh Elealeh, Sibam, Nebo, Beon,

“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,

4 Isreal rhaengpuei kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPA loh a ngawn khohmuen te boiva kah khohmuen tih na sal rhoek taengah khaw boiva om ta,” a ti uh.

which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”

5 Te phoeiah, “Na mik ah mikdaithen ka hmuh atah he khohmuen he na sal rhoek taengah khohut la m'paek vetih Jordan te kaimih nam paan sak pawt mako,” a ti uh.

“If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”

6 Tedae Moses loh Gad koca rhoek taeng neh Reuben koca rhoek taengah, “Nangmih hela na ngol uh vaengah na manuca rhoek tah caemtloek la cet uh saeh a?

But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?

7 BOEIPA loh amih taengah a paek khohmuen la kat ham te balae tih Israel ca rhoek kah lungbuei he a khaban la na khaban uh.

Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?

8 Khohmuen sawt ham Kadeshbarnea lamloh amih ka tueih vaengah na pa rhoek loh he ni a. saii uh.

This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.

9 Eshkol soklong la cet uh tih khohmuen khaw a hmuh uh dae BOEIPA loh amih taengah a paek khohmuen la kun pawt ham Israel ca rhoek kah lungbuei te a khaban uh.

For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.

10 Amah khohnin ah BOEIPA kah thintoek sai tih a toemngam.

So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,

11 Egypt lamkah aka lo hlang rhoek khuiah kum kul neh a so hang ca rhoek tah khohmuen te hmu uh mahpawh. Te te Abraham, Isaak taeng neh Jakob taengah ka toemngam dae kai hnukah a tlun uh moenih.

‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—

12 Kenizzi Jephunneh capa Kaleb neh Nun capa Joshua tah BOEIPA hnukah tlun rhoi.

not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’

13 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek te Israel taengah sai tih BOEIPA mik ah boethae aka saii kah cadil boeih a cing hil amih te khosoek ah kum sawmli a poengdoe sak.

The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.

14 Israel taengah BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa te koep khoengvoep ham ni na pa rhoek yueng hlangtholh hlang kah tahoengnah dongah na pai uh he.

Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.

15 A hnuk lamloh na phael uh dongah khosoek ah amih tloeng ham koep a koei vetih he pilnam boeih he na mit uh bitni,” a ti nah.

For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”

16 Te phoeiah a taengla mop uh tih, “Kaimih kah boiva ham boiva kah tanglung neh ka ca rhoek ham khopuei pahoi ka thoh uh mako.

Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.

17 Tedae amih te a hmuen la ka pawk uh hil tah kaimih he Israel ca mikhmuh ah tawn uh ham ka pumcum uh bitni. Te vaengah khohmuen kah khosa rhoek mikhmuh lamkah hmuencak khopuei rhoek ah mamih kah camoe rhoek ana om saeh.

But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.

18 Israel ca rhoek khuikah hlang loh a rho a pang hlanah ka im la ka mael uh mahpawh.

We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.

19 Jordan kah rhalvangan neh a voel kah amih neh m'phaeng uh boel saeh. Jordan khocuk ngan ah kaimih taengah kamamih kah rho om coeng,” a ti uh.

Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”

20 Te dongah Moses loh amih te, “He ol he na ngai uh mak atah, caemtloek ham BOEIPA mikhmuh ah na pumcum uh mak atah,

Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,

21 Nangmih aka pumcum boeih te tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Jordan te a poeng vetih a thunkha rhoek te a mikhmuh lamloh a haek ni.

and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,

22 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah khohmuen a khoem uh coeng. Te dongah mael uh lamtah BOEIPA taeng neh Israel taengah ommongsitoe la na om uh bitni. Khohmuen he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nangmih kah khohut la om bitni.

then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.

23 Te te na saii uh pawt atah BOEIPA taengah na tholh coeng ne. Te vaengah namamih kah tholhnah loh nangmih m'hmuh bitni tila ming uh.

But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.

24 Nangmih ham neh na camoe ham khopuei khaw, na tu ham tanglung khaw thoh uh. Tedae nangmih ka lamloh aka thoeng te rhoi uh,” a ti nah.

Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”

25 Te phoeiah Gad koca rhoek neh Reuben koca rhoek loh Moses taengah, “Na sal rhoek long he ka boei kah a uen bangla a saii uh bitni.

The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.

26 Ka yuu rhoek neh ka ca rhoek, ka boiva neh ka rhamsa boeih tah Gilead khopuei rhoek ah pahoi om uh bitni.

Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.

27 Ka boei kah na thui bangla, BOEIPA mikhmuh ah caempuei la aka pumcum na sal rhoek tah caemtloek la boeih kat bitni ni,” a ti uh.

But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”

28 Amih kongah Moses loh khosoih Eleazar, Nun capa Joshua neh Israel ca rhoek kah koca, a napa boeilu rhoek te a uen.

So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.

29 Te vaengah Moses loh amih te, “BOEIPA mikhmuh ah caemtloek la aka pumcum Gad koca rhoek neh Reuben ca boeih tah nangmih taengah Jordan te kat uh coeng. Nangmih mikhmuh ah khohmuen te a khoem uh dongah Gilead khohmuen te amih taengah khohut la pae.

And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.

30 Nangmih taengah aka pumcum uh khaw a kat uh pawt atah Kanaan khohmuen ah tah nangmih khui kah te bawn uh saeh,” a ti nah.

But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan.”

31 Gad koca rhoek neh Reuben koca rhoek loh a doo uh tih, “BOEIPA loh na sal rhoek taengah a thui bangla ka saii uh tangloeng bitni.

The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.

32 Kaimih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah aka pumcum rhoek tah Kanaan khohmuen la ka kat uh ni. Tedae Jordan rhalvang he tah kaimih kah rho neh kaimih ham khohut la om saeh,” a ti uh.

We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”

33 Te dongah Moses loh amih, Gad koca rhoek taeng neh Reuben koca rhoek taengah khaw, Joseph capa Manasseh koca hlangvang taengah khaw, Amori manghai Sihon kah ram, Bashan manghai Oga kah ram neh khohmuen, khohmuen kaepvai khopuei rhibawn kah a khopuei te a paek.

So Moses gave to the Gadites, to the Reubenites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.

34 Te dongah Gad koca rhoek loh, Dibon, Ataroth neh Aroer,

And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

35 Aroth-shonphan, Jazer neh Jobehah,

Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

36 Bethnimrah neh Bethharan, hmuencak khopuei rhoek neh boiva kah tanglung te a thoh uh.

Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.

37 Reuben koca rhoek loh Heshbon, Elealeh neh Kiriathaim,

The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

38 Nebo neh ming aka hoi Baalmeon, Sibam te a thoh uh. Te kah a thoh uh khopuei rhoek ming te a ming neh a khue uh.

as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.

39 Manasseh capa Makir koca rhoek tah Gilead la cet uh tih a buem uh. Te vaengah a khui kah Amori te a haek uh.

The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.

40 Te dongah Moses loh Gilead te Manasseh capa Makir taengah a paek tih a khuiah kho a sak uh.

So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.

41 Manasseh capa Jair loh cet tih a vangca rhoek te loh dongah te rhoek te Jair vangca a sui.

Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.

42 Nobah khaw cet tih Kenath neh a khobuel rhoek te a loh. Te dongah te te amah ming la Nobah a sui.

And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
