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.
Mgbe ndị Izrel rutere ala Jeza na Gilead, ndị ebo Ruben na Gad ndị nwere ọtụtụ igwe ehi, na igwe ewu na atụrụ chọpụtara na ala ahụ dị mma nke ukwuu maka ịzụ anụ ụlọ.
2 So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
Ya mere, ha bịakwutere Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja, na ndị ndu nzukọ Izrel, sị ha,
3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
“Ala ndị a: Atarọt, Dibọn, Jeza, Nimra, Heshbọn, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo, na Beon,
4 which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”
bụ ala nke Onyenwe anyị meriri nʼagha nʼihu nzukọ Izrel, dị mma maka ịzụ anụ ụlọ. Anyị onwe anyị kwa nwere igwe ewu na atụrụ.
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.”
Ọ bụrụ na anyị achọtala amara nʼihu unu, biko, kwerenụ ka akụkụ ala a bụrụ ihe nketa nke anyị bụ ohu unu. Unu emekwala ka anyị soro ndị Izrel gafee nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan.”
6 But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
Mosis jụrụ ndị Gad na Ruben ajụjụ sị, “Unu na-ekwu na unu chọrọ ịnọ nʼebe a mgbe ụmụnna unu ndị ikom niile ga-agafe osimiri Jọdan ịlụ agha niile ahụ dị na-eche ha?
7 Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?
Ọ bụ nʼihi gịnị ka unu ji eme ka ndị Izrel daa mba ghara ịgafe banye nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyerela ha?
8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.
Otu a ka nna unu ha mere mgbe m si Kadesh Banea zipụ ha inyocha ala ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ha letasịrị ala ahụ si na Ndagwurugwu Eshkọl lọghachi, ha mere ka obi ndị Izrel niile daa mba ịbanye nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ha.
10 So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
Nʼihi nke a Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide ha nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ọ ṅụrụ iyi kwuo sị,
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—
‘Nʼihi na unu jụrụ iji obi unu niile gbasoo m, o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ahụ o si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta, ndị gbara iri afọ abụọ rigoo, ga-ahụ ala ahụ m kwere Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb nkwa inye ha.’
12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’
Naanị ndị ọṅụṅụ iyi a na-emegideghị bụ Kaleb, nwa Jefune onye Keniz, na Joshua nwa Nun, nʼihi na ha jiri obi ha niile sogide Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Iwe Onyenwe anyị dịịrị ọkụ megide Izrel, o mere ka ha wagharịa nʼọzara iri afọ anọ, tutu ruo mgbe ọgbọ ahụ niile nke mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya ya nwụchara.
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.
“Ma lee unu ugbu a, agbụrụ ndị mmehie, ọ bụkwa otu ihe ahụ ka unu na-eme! Unu na-achọ ime ka iwe dị ukwuu wee Onyenwe anyị megide ndị Izrel.
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.”
Ọ bụrụ na unu ajụ iso Onyenwe anyị ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ka ndị Izrel nọgide nʼọzara. Mbibi na ịla nʼiyi nke ga-abịakwasị ha ga-abụkwa nke unu ji aka unu kpatara ha.”
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.
Ma ha zara sị ya, “Ọ gaghị adị otu a! Anyị ga-ewuru anụ ụlọ anyị ụlọ, tinye igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị nʼime ha. Anyị ga-ewukwara ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụntakịrị anyị obodo ebe ha ga-anọ.
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.
Ma anyị onwe anyị ga-eburu ngwa agha anyị, buru ndị Izrel niile ọzọ ụzọ gaa nʼihu ịlụ ọgụ, tutu anyị edubata ha nʼala nke ha ga-eketa. Ma ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụntakịrị anyị ga-anọ nʼobodo e wusiri ike, ikpuchite ezinaụlọ anyị niile site nʼaka ndị iro bi anyị gburugburu.
18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.
Anyị agaghị alọta nʼụlọ anyị tutu onye Izrel ọbụla enweta ihe nketa nke ya.
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.”
Anyị achọghị ihe nketa, nʼofe Jọdan nke ọzọ, nʼihi na anyị ewerela oke nke anyị nʼebe a, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Jọdan.”
20 Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis zara sị ha, “Ọ dị mma, ọ bụrụ na unu ga-eme dịka unu kwuru, jikere onwe unu, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ibu agha.
21 and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,
Ọ bụrụ na ndị agha unu ga-eso gafee nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan, soro ndị ọzọ buo agha tutu ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị chụpụchara ndị iro ya niile,
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.
mgbe ahụ, e merichaa mba ndị ahụ niile nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, unu nwere ike ịlọghachi nʼebe a, bụrụ ndị ikpe na-amaghị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị na ndị Izrel nọ. Ala a dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, ga-abụ ihe nketa unu nwere site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị.
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.
“Ọ bụrụkwanụ na unu ajụ ime dịka unu kwuru, mgbe ahụ, ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-emehie megide. Matakwanụ na unu ga-emesịa nata ụgwọ ọrụ mmehie unu.
24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
Wuonụ obodo ebe ndị inyom na ụmụ unu ga-ebi, wuokwanụ ụlọ anụ maka igwe ewu na atụrụ unu, ma mezuokwanụ ihe niile unu kweere na nkwa.”
25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
Ndị ebo Gad na Ruben sịrị Mosis, “Anyị bụ ndị ohu gị ga-eme dịka onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu.
26 Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
Ụmụ anyị niile, na ndị inyom anyị niile, na igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị, na ehi anyị niile, ga-anọ nʼebe a, nʼobodo ndị a anyị wuru nʼala Gilead.
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.”
Ma anyị, ndị ohu gị, ndị niile tozuru ije agha, ga-agafe osimiri Jọdan ibu agha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, dịka onyenwe anyị si kwuo.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis nyere Elieza, bụ onye nchụaja, na Joshua nwa Nun, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ nke ebo Izrel niile iwu banyere ha,
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.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na ndị ebo Gad na Ruben, onye ọbụla nke jikere ịga agha, ga-eso unu gafee Jọdan nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, mgbe ahụ, oge unu lụgburu ndị ala ahụ niile, unu aghaghị inye ha ala Gilead dịka ihe nketa ha.
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.”
Ma ọ bụrụ na ha ajụ iso unu, ha ga-eso ndị ọzọ keta oke nʼala Kenan.”
31 The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.
Ndị ebo Gad na Ruben zara sị, “Ihe ọbụla Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu ka anyị ga-eme.
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.”
Anyị ga-ejikere soro Onyenwe anyị jee agha nʼala Kenan. Ma ihe nketa anyị ga-adị nʼebe a, nʼakụkụ Jọdan.”
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.
Mosis nyere ndị ebo Gad, na Ruben, na ọkara Manase nwa Josef, alaeze niile Saịhọn eze Amọrị nakwa alaeze niile nke Ọg, eze ndị Bashan na-achị. O nyere ha ala ahụ niile, na obodo niile dị nʼala ahụ gburugburu.
34 And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
Ndị ebo Gad wugharịrị ma wusiekwa obodo ndị a, Dibọn, Atarọt, Aroea
35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
Atrọt-Shofan, Jeza, Jogbeha,
36 Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.
Bet-Nimra na Bet-Haran bụ obodo e wusiri ike, wukwaara igwe ewu na atụrụ ha ụlọ anụ nʼime ya.
37 The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
Ma ndị ebo Ruben wugharịrị obodo ndị a: obodo Heshbọn, Eleale, Kiriatem,
38 as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.
Nebo na Baal-Meon (ma a gbanwere aha ha) na Sibma. Ha gbanwere aha obodo niile ndị ahụ ha wugharịrị, gụọ ha aha ọhụrụ.
39 The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
Ndị agbụrụ Makia, nwa Manase gara nʼobodo Gilead lụgbuo ya, chụpụ ndị Amọrait bi nʼebe ahụ.
40 So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
Ya mere, Mosis were obodo Gilead nye Makia, ụmụ Manase ka ha biri nʼebe ahụ.
41 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.
Jia, onye sikwa nʼebo Manase gara buso ọtụtụ obodo nta ndị ọzọ agha, lụgbuo ha. Ọ gbanwere aha obodo nta ndị a, gụọ ha Havọt Jaịa.
42 And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nʼoge a kwa, otu nwoke a na-akpọ Nọba duuru ndị agha gaa nʼobodo Kenat, na nʼobodo nta ndị ọzọ gbara ya gburugburu, lụgbuo ha, bichie nʼime ha. Ọ gbanwere aha obodo ndị ahụ niile bido ịkpọ ha Nọba, nke bụ aha ya onwe ya.
