< Numbers 32 >

1 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.
Jo-Reuben gi jo-Gad, mane nigi kweth mag rombe kod dhok, noneno ni piny Jazer kod piny Gilead ne nigi lek maber mar pidho jamni.
2 So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
Omiyo negibiro ir Musa gi Eliazar jadolo kod jotend oganda mar jo-Israel, mi giwachonegi niya,
3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
Piny motingʼo Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimra, Heshbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo kod Beon
4 which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”
ma Jehova Nyasaye osekawo ka oganda mar jo-Israel neno en piny man-gi lek maber mar pidho jamni kendo ungʼeyo ni wan jotichu wan jopidh jamni.
5 “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.”
Negiwachonegi niya, “Ka uyie kodwa, to miwauru pinyni wasumbiniu obed marwa mondo kik wakadh wadhi loka Jordan.”
6 But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
Musa nowacho ne jo-Gad kod jo-Reuben niya, “Bende jou nyalo dhi e lweny ka un to udongʼ ka?
7 Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?
Angʼo momiyo unego chuny jo-Israel mondo kik dhi e piny ma Jehova Nyasaye osemiyogi?
8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.
Ma e gima kwereu notimo kane aorogi kane wan Kadesh Barnea mondo gidhi ginon pinyno.
9 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.
Kane gisechopo e Holo mar Eshkol mi giringo pinyno, negimiyo chuny jo-Israel onyosore mar dhi e piny mane Jehova Nyasaye osemiyogi.
10 So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
Negitugo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye chiengʼno mi nokwongʼore kama:
11 ‘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—
‘Nikech ok giseluwa gi chunygi duto, onge kata ngʼato achiel ma ja-higa piero ariyo kadhi nyime mane oa Misri mabiro neno piny mane asingora ka akwongʼora ne Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo;
12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’
onge ngʼato angʼata kuomgi manone pinyno makmana Kaleb wuod Jefune ma ja-Kenizi kod Joshua wuod Nun, nimar negiluwo bangʼ Jehova Nyasaye gi chunygi duto.’
13 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.
Jehova Nyasaye nokecho gi jo-Israel kendo nomiyo giwuotho alanda e thim kuom higni piero angʼwen, nyaka ogandani duto mane otimo marach e nyim Jehova Nyasaye notho.
14 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.
“Un koth jorichogi, koro ubiro ira, kuchungʼ kar kwereu kendo umiyo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye medore kuom Israel.
15 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.”
Ka uweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye, to obiro jwangʼo ogandani duto e thim kendo un ema ubiro miyo jogi rum.”
16 Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.
Bangʼ kinde matin negidwogo ir Musa mi giwachone niya, “Dwaher gero dipo ne jambwa kod mier madongo mondo mondwa kod nyithindwa odagie.
17 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.
To kata kamano waikore mar manore gi gige lweny kendo dhi gi jo-Israel wetewa e piny mane osingnegi. To mokwongo nyaka wager ne mondwa gi nyithindwa mier madongo mochiel motegno mondo ogengʼ-gi kuom wasigu.
18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.
Ok wanaduogi e miechwa nyaka wane ni jo-Israel duto oseyudo pinyno kaka pok margi.
19 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.”
Wan ok wanadwar mondo opognwa piny kodgi loka machielo mar aora Jordan nimar osepognwa lopwa yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan lokani.”
20 Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,
Eka Musa nowachonegi niya, “Ka utimo kamano ma umanoru gi gige lweny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye,
21 and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,
kendo ka un duto unudhi ka utingʼo gige lweny loka Jordan e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mi ubed kuno nyaka chop Jehova Nyasaye riemb wasike duto e nyime,
22 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.
ka uloyo pinyno e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, eka unuduogi kendo unubedi maonge ketho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye gi Israel. Kendo pinyni biro bedo pok maru e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
23 But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.
“To ka ok utimo kamano, to ubiro timo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye; kendo bed ka ungʼeyo ni richou nofwenyre e lela.
24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
Geruru mier madongo ne mondu gi nyithindu, kod dipo ne jambu, kendo nyaka utim kaka usesingoru.”
25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
Jo-Gad kod jo-Reuben nowacho ne Musa niya, “Wan jotichni, wabiro timo gima ruodhwa osechikowa.
26 Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
Nyithindwa kod mondewa, rombwa kod dhowa biro dongʼ e miech Gilead ka.
27 But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”
To wan jotichni, ngʼato ka ngʼata ma jalweny biro ngʼado loka Jordan mondo oked e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka ruodhwa osechiko.”
28 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.
Omiyo Musa nomiyogi chik ka oorogi ir Eliazar jadolo, kod Joshua wuod Nun kaachiel gi jotend dhout Israel.
29 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.
Nowachonegi niya, “Ka jo-Gad kod jo-Reuben noidh kaachiel kodu Jordan e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ka ngʼato ka ngʼato omanore mar kedo, to bangʼ ka useloyo piny, to unumigi piny Gilead kaka pok margi.
30 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.”
To ka ok giidho kaachiel kodu ka gimanore gi gige lweny, to nyaka gikaw pok mag-gi kaachiel kodu Kanaan.”
31 The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.
Jo-Gad kod jo-Reuben nodwoko niya, “Jotichni biro timo kaka Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
32 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.”
Wabiro ngʼado ka wadhi loka Kanaan e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ka wamanore gi gige lweny, to pok ma wabiro yudo biro bedo loka koni mar Jordan.”
33 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.
Eka Musa nomiyo jo-Gad, jo-Reuben kod nus mar dhood Manase wuod Josef pinyruodh Sihon ma ruodh jo-Amor kod pinyruodh Og ma ruodh Bashan; pinyno duto kaachiel gi miechgi kod gwenge molworogi.
34 And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
Jo-Gad nogero mier madongo motegno kaka Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
Atroth Shofan, Jazer, Jogbeha,
36 Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.
Beth Nimra kod Beth Haran, kendo negigero dipo ne jambgi.
37 The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
Joka Reuben nogero Heshbon, Eleale kod Kiriathaim,
38 as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.
kaachiel gi Nebo kod Baal Meon (nyingegi noduog oloki achien) kod Sibma. Mier madongo mane gigero negimiyo nying mamoko.
39 The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
Nyikwa Makir wuod Manase nodhi Gilead, moloyo dalano mi giriembo jo-Amor mane oyudo odak kanyo.
40 So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
Omiyo Musa nochiwo Gilead e lwet jo-Makir, ma nyikwa Manase, kendo negidak kanyo.
41 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.
Jair ma nyakwar Manase nodhi mokawo mier madongo mane ni kanyo, kendo nochako kanyo ni Havoth Jair.
42 And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Noba nomonjo Kenath kod mier molwore kendo nochake nyinge owuon miluongo ni Noba.
