The people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad had much livestock. They saw that the land near Jazer [city] and the Gilead [region east of the Jordan River] had good [grass] for the animals [to graze on].
2 Te dongah Gad kocarhoek neh Reuben koca rhoek te cet uh tih Moses taeng neh khosoih Eleazar taengah khaw, rhaengpuei khoboeirhoek taengah khaw a thui uh.
So their leaders came to Eleazar and the other leaders of the people and Moses/me. They said,
3 Te vaengah Ataroth neh Dibon, Jazer neh Nimrah, Heshbon neh Elealeh, Sibam, Nebo, Beon,
“We have a great amount of livestock.
4 Isreal rhaengpuei kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPAloha ngawn khohmuen te boiva kah khohmuen tih na salrhoek taengah khaw boiva om ta,” a ti uh.
Yahweh has enabled us Israelis to capture some land that is very good for animals [to graze on]—the land near Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon [towns].
5 Te phoeiah, “Na mik ah mikdaithen ka hmuh atah he khohmuen he na salrhoek taengah khohut la m'paek vetih Jordan te kaimih nam paan sak pawt mako,” a ti uh.
If it pleases you, we would like this land to be ours, instead of land on the other side of the Jordan River.”
6 Tedae Moses loh Gad kocarhoek taeng neh Reuben kocarhoek taengah, “Nangmih helana ngol uh vaengah na manuca rhoek tah caemtloek la cet uh saeh a?
Moses/I replied to the leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben, “It is not right for [RHQ] your fellow Israelis to go to fight in wars and you stay 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.
[If you do that], you will cause the other Israelis to be discouraged, with the result that they will not cross [the Jordan River] to the land that Yahweh is giving to them [RHQ].
8 Khohmuen sawt ham Kadeshbarnea lamloh amih ka tueih vaengah na pa rhoek loh he ni a saii uh.
Your ancestors did the same kind of thing. I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to see what the land [of Canaan] was like.
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.
They went as far as Eshcol Valley, but when they saw [the huge people in] the land, [they returned and] caused the Israeli people to be discouraged, saying ‘We should not try to enter the land that Yahweh said that he is giving to us.’
10 Amah khohnin ah BOEIPA kah thintoek sai tih a toemngam.
So Yahweh became very angry with them, and he solemnly declared this:
11 Egypt lamkah aka lo hlang rhoek khuiah kum kul neh a so hang ca rhoek tah khohmuen te hmu uh mahpawh. Tete Abraham, Isaak taeng neh Jakob taengah ka toemngam dae kai hnukah a tlun uh moenih.
‘From all the people who came out of Egypt, the only ones who are at least 20 years old who will see the land that I promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua, because they trusted me completely. None of the other people who came out of Egypt will even see that land, because they have not completely believed in my [power].’
12 Kenizzi Jephunneh capa Kaleb neh Nun capa Joshua tah BOEIPA hnukah tlun rhoi.
13 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoekte Israel taengah sai tih BOEIPA mik ah boethae aka saii kah cadil boeih a cing hil amihte khosoek ah kum sawmli a poengdoe sak.
So Yahweh was angry with the Israeli people, and [as a result] he has caused us to wander in this desert for 40 years. Finally, all the people who had sinned against Yahweh [by refusing to trust him] died, [one by one].
14 Israel taengah BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa te koep khoengvoep ham ni na parhoek yueng hlangtholh hlang kah tahoengnah dongah na pai uh he.
And you are acting like your ancestors did! You sinful Israeli people are going to cause Yahweh to be more angry with you [than he was with our ancestors]
15 A hnuk lamlohna phael uh dongah khosoek ah amih tloeng ham koep a koei vetih he pilnam boeih hena mit uh bitni,” a ti nah.
If you stop trusting him, he will cause you and all your fellow Israelis to stay longer in the desert, and he will get rid of all of you!”
16 Te phoeiah a taengla mop uh tih, “Kaimih kah boiva ham boiva kah tanglung neh ka carhoek ham khopuei pahoi ka thoh uh mako.
Then the [leaders of the tribes of Reuben and Gad] said to Moses/me, “First we will build pens for our animals and build cities for our families here.
17 Tedae amihte 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 khosarhoek mikhmuh lamkah hmuencak khopueirhoek ah mamih kah camoe rhoek ana om saeh.
Then our families will live in strong cities with walls around them, and they will be safe from the people who live in this land. Then we will get ready to fight battles. We will help the other Israelis to get land [on the other side of the river].
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 Israeli has received some land.
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.
We will not take any land on the west side of the Jordan [River]; our land will be here on the east side.”
20 Te dongah Moses loh amih te, “He ol hena ngai uh mak atah, caemtloek ham BOEIPA mikhmuh ahna pumcum uh mak atah,
So Moses/I told them, “[Okay, I will tell you] what you all must do. You must get ready to fight battles for Yahweh.
21 Nangmih aka pumcum boeih te tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Jordan te a poeng vetih a thunkharhoek te a mikhmuh lamloh a haek ni.
You all must cross the Jordan [River] carrying your weapons.
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.
After Yahweh helps us to take that land [from the people who live there], you will be permitted to return to your homes. You will have done what you have promised Yahweh and the Israeli people that you would do, and you may keep this land to be your own, given to you by Yahweh.
23 Te te na saii uh pawt atah BOEIPA taengahna tholh coeng ne. Te vaengah namamih kah tholhnah loh nangmih m'hmuh bitni tila ming uh.
“But if you do not do these things, you will be sinning against Yahweh, and he will punish you for [that] sin.
24 Nangmih ham neh na camoe ham khopuei khaw, na tu ham tanglung khaw thoh uh. Tedae nangmih ka lamloh aka thoengte rhoi uh,” a ti nah.
Now you can build cities for your families and pens for your animals, but after doing that, you must do what you have promised.”
25 Te phoeiah Gad kocarhoek neh Reuben koca rhoek loh Moses taengah, “Na sal rhoek long he ka boei kah a uen bangla a saii uh bitni.
The leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben replied, “We will do what you have asked us to do [MTY], because you are our leader.
26 Ka yuu rhoek neh ka ca rhoek, ka boiva neh ka rhamsa boeih tah Gilead khopueirhoek ah pahoi om uh bitni.
Our wives and children and our cattle and sheep and goats will stay here in the cities in the Gilead area,
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 we will prepare to go to battle. We will take our weapons and go across [the Jordan River] and fight for Yahweh, just as you, our leader, have said.”
28 Amih kongah Moses loh khosoih Eleazar, Nun capa Joshua neh Israel carhoek kah koca, a napa boeilurhoek te a uen.
So Moses/I gave instructions about them to Eleazar, Joshua, and the leaders of the Israeli tribes.
29 Te vaengah Moses loh amih te, “BOEIPA mikhmuh ah caemtloek la aka pumcum Gad kocarhoek neh Reuben ca boeih tah nangmih taengah Jordan te kat uh coeng. Nangmih mikhmuh ah khohmuen te a khoem uh dongah Gilead khohmuente amih taengah khohut la pae.
Moses/I said to them, “If the men from the tribes of Gad and Reuben prepare for battle and cross the Jordan [River] with you, in order to do what Yahweh desires and help you to take that land, give them the Gilead area to belong to them.
30 Nangmih taengah aka pumcum uh khaw a kat uh pawt atah Kanaan khohmuen ah tah nangmih khui kahte bawn uh saeh,” a ti nah.
But if they do not take their weapons and go with you prepared to fight, they will not receive this land. They will need to accept some land in Canaan, like the rest of you will do.”
31 Gad kocarhoek neh Reuben koca rhoek loh a doouh tih, “BOEIPA loh na salrhoek taengah a thui bangla ka saii uh tangloeng bitni.
The [leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben] replied, “We will do what you have said and what Yahweh has said.
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 the river into Canaan land, and we will do what Yahweh desires and be prepared for battle. But our land will be [here] on the east side of the Jordan [River].”
33 Te dongah Moses loh amih, Gad kocarhoek taeng neh Reuben kocarhoek 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/I agreed to give that land to the tribes of Gad and Reuben and to half of the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh. That land was previously the land where Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, ruled, and the land where Og, the king of Bashan [region], ruled, including its cities and surrounding land.
34 Te dongah Gad kocarhoek loh, Dibon, Ataroth neh Aroer,
The people of the tribe of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

Nebo, Baal-Meon, and Sibmah cities. When they rebuilt Nebo and Baal-Meon, they gave new names to those cities.
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 Manasseh’s son Makir went to the Gilead [region] and compelled the people of the Amor people-group to leave that area.
40 Te dongah Moses loh Gilead te Manasseh capa Makir taengah a paek tih a khuiahkhoa sak uh.
So Moses/I gave Gilead to the family of Makir, and they started to live there.
41 Manasseh capa Jair loh cet tih a vangcarhoek te loh dongah terhoek te Jair vangca a sui.
Jair, who was also a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured the small towns in that region, and he named them the Towns of Jair.
