Joshua 22

1 Then Joshua called together the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse,

Na Joshua el pangoneni mwet in sruf lal Reuben, ac sruf lal Gad, ac sruf lal Manasseh Kutulap

2 and said to them, You have heard all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and you have listened to my voice in all that he commanded you.

ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos aksafyela tari ma Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el sapkin, ac kowos akos ma nukewa nga fahk nu suwos.

3 You have not deserted your brethren these many days: until this day you have kept the commandment of the Lord your God.

Ke lusen pacl sac nwe misenge kowos tiana ngetla liki mwet Israel wiowos, ac kowos akos na ma LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin nu suwos.

4 And now the Lord our God has given our brethren rest, as he told them: now then return and depart to your homes, and to the land of your possession, which Moses gave you on the other side Jordan.

Inge, ke LEUM GOD lowos El sang tari misla nu sin mwet wiowos inge oana ma El wulela kac, kowos folokla nu in acn suwos su oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan, ma Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sot lowos.

5 But take great heed to do the commands and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you to do; to love the Lord our God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commands, and to cleave to him, and serve him with all your mind, and with all your soul.

Tusruktu, kowos liyaung ac akos ma sap ma Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sot nu suwos, in lungse LEUM GOD lowos, in oru ma lungse lal, in akos ma sap nukewa lal, in oaru nu sel, ac in kulansupwal ke insiowos ac ngunuwos kewa.”

6 And Joshua blessed them, and dismissed them; and they went to their homes.

Ouinge Joshua el akinsewowoyalos ac supwalosla, na elos folokla nu yen selos.

7 And to [one] half the tribe of Manasse Moses gave a portion in the land of Basan, and to [the other] half Joshua gave a portion with his brethren on the other side of Jordan westward: and when Joshua sent them away to their homes, then he blessed them.

Nu sin tafun sruf lal Manasseh, Moses el sang ipin acn se lalos in acn Bashan, ac nu sin tafu sruf sac Joshua el sang ipin acn se layen roto in Infacl Jordan, inmasrlon mwet Israel wialos. Ke Joshua el supwalosla nu yen selos ah, el akinsewowoyalosla meet

8 And they departed with much wealth to their houses, and they divided the spoil of their enemies with their brethren; very much cattle, and silver, and gold, and iron, and much raiment.

ac fahk, “Folokla nu yen suwos wi mwe kasrup su kowos eisla sin mwet lokoalok lowos — kosro nutuwos, silver, gold, bronze, osra, oayapa nuknuk pukanten — ac kitalik ma inge inmasrlon mwet wiowos.”

9 So the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse, departed from the children of Israel in Selo in the land of Chanaan, to go away into Galaad, into the land of their possession, which they inherited by the command of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.

Na mwet in sruf lal Reuben, sruf lal Gad, ac sruf lal Manasseh Kutulap elos fahsr liki mwet Israel in acn Shiloh in Canaan, ac folokla nu Gilead, acn selos su elos eis oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses.

10 And they came to Galaad of Jordan, which is in the land of Chanaan: and the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to look at.

Ke sruf lal Reuben, sruf lal Gad, ac sruf lal Manasseh Kutulap elos tuku sun acn Geliloth, su oan apkuran nu Infacl Jordan, elos tulokunak sie loang na lulap sisken infacl ah.

11 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse have built an altar at the borders of the land of Chanaan at Galaad of Jordan, on the opposite side to the children of Israel.

Na sulkakinyuk nu sin mwet Israel saya nukewa, “Kowos in lohng, tuh sruf lal Reuben, Gad, ac Manasseh Kutulap elos tulokunak sie loang in acn Geliloth, ke layen lasr sisken Infacl Jordan!”

12 And all the children of Israel gathered together to Selo, so as to go up and fight against them.

Ke mwet Israel elos lohng ma inge, elos nukewa toeni nu Shiloh, su oan roto in Infacl Jordan, tuh elos in mweuni sruf su muta layen nu kutulap.

13 And the children of Israel sent to the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and to the sons of the half tribe of Manasse into the land of Galaad, both Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest,

Na mwet Israel elos supwalla Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar mwet tol, nu sin sruf lal Reuben, Gad, ac Manasseh Kutulap in acn Gilead, lefahl kutulap in Infacl Jordan.

14 and ten of the chiefs with him; [there was] one chief of every household out of all the tribes of Israel; (the heads of families are the captains of thousands in Israel.)

Ac elos supwala pac singoul sin mwet kol lalos welul Phinehas, kais sie ke sruf singoul ah, ac mwet inge pa sifen sou in kais sie sou lulap.

15 And they came to the sons of Ruben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse into the land of Galaad; and they spoke to them, saying,

Elos tuku sun acn Gilead nu yurin mwet lun Reuben, Gad, ac Manasseh Kutulap,

16 Thus says the whole congregation of the Lord, What [is] this transgression that you have transgressed before the God of Israel, to turn away today from the Lord, in that you have built for yourselves an altar, so that you should be apostates from the Lord?

na ke inen mwet lun LEUM GOD nukewa, elos fahk nu selos, “Efu kowos ku orek pwapa koluk ac forla liki God lun Israel? Ke kowos orala loang se inge nu suwos sifacna, kowos lain LEUM GOD!

17 Is the sin of Phogor too little for you, whereas we have not been cleansed from it until this day, though there was a plague amongst the congregation of the Lord?

Ya kowos tia esam ma koluk lasr in acn Peor, ke LEUM GOD El akkeokye mwet lal ke mas upa? Kut srakna keok ke ma inge. Ya soenna fal orekma koluk lasr nu sin LEUM GOD?

18 And you have this day revolted from the Lord; and it shall come to pass if you revolt this day from the Lord, that to-morrow there shall be wrath upon all Israel.

Na mea, kowos ac forla liki LEUM GOD? Kowos fin forla liki LEUM GOD misenge, El ac fah arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel nukewa lutu.

19 And now if the land of your possession [be too] little, cross over to the land of the possession of the Lord, where the tabernacle of the Lord dwells, and receive you an inheritance amongst us; and do not become apostates from God, neither do you apostatize from the Lord, because of your having built an altar apart from the altar of the Lord our God.

Ke ma inge, acn lowos an fin tia fal in orek alu we, fahsru nu in acn sin LEUM GOD, yen Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD oan we, ac eis kutu acn lasr uh lowos. Nimet kowos lain LEUM GOD ac oru tuh kut in wi pac lain God, ke kowos sifil musai sie pac loang sayen loang lun LEUM GOD lasr.

20 Behold! did not Achar the [son] of Zara commit a trespass [taking] of the accursed thing, and there was wrath on the whole congregation of Israel? and he himself died alone in his own sin.

Kowos in esamul Achan, wen natul Zerah, ke el tuh seakos ac tia kunausla ma sapkinyuk in kunausyukla, na tia el mukena pa misa ke sripen ma koluk lal ah, a mwet Israel nukewa wi pulakin keok.”

21 And the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse answered, and spoke to the captains of the thousands of Israel, saying,

Na mwet ke sruf lal Reuben, Gad, ac Manasseh Kutulap elos topuk sifen sou lun mwet Israel su muta lefahl roto in Infacl Jordan, ac fahk,

22 God [even] God is the Lord, and God [even] God himself knows, and Israel he shall know; if we have transgressed before the Lord by apostasy, let him not deliver us this day.

“El Su Fulatlana, LEUM GOD, El God! El Su Fulatlana, LEUM GOD, El God! El etu lah efu ku kut oru ma inge, ac kut ke kowos in etu pac! Fin ma kut oru inge lainul ac kunausla wulela lasr nu sel, lela in anwuki kut!

23 And if we have built to ourselves an altar, so as to apostatize from the Lord our God, so as to offer upon it a sacrifice of whole burnt offerings, so as to offer upon it a sacrifice of peace-offering, —the Lord shall require it.

Ac kut fin tia akos LEUM GOD ac musai loang lasr in orek mwe kisa firir, ku mwe kisa wheat, ku mwe kisa in akinsewowo, na lela LEUM GOD Elan nununkekut kac.

24 But we have done this for the sake of precaution [concerning this] thing, saying, Lest hereafter your sons should say to our sons, What have you to do with the Lord God of Israel?

Mo! Kut oru ma inge mweyen kut sensen mu ac mau sie len tulik nutuwos uh ac ku in fahk nu sin tulik natusr uh, ‘Mea lomtal nu ke LEUM GOD lun Israel?

25 Whereas the Lord has set boundaries between us and you, even Jordan, and you have no portion in the Lord: so your sons shall alienate our sons, that they should not worship the Lord.

God El orala tuh Infacl Jordan in srikutla liki kowos, mwet Reuben ac Gad! Wangin ip lomtal nu sin LEUM GOD!’ Na fin ouinge, tulik nutuwos an ac mau oru tulik natusr uh in tila alu nu sin LEUM GOD.

26 And we gave orders to do thus, to build this altar, not for burnt offerings, nor for meat-offerings;

Na pa kut orala loang se, tuh tia ma nu ke mwe kisa firir ku kutena kain kisa.

27 but that this may be a witness between you and us, and between our posterity after us, that we may do service to the Lord before him, with our burnt offerings and our meat-offerings and our peace-offerings: so your sons shall not say to our sons, hereafter, You have no portion in the Lord.

Tia pa ingan sripa lasr uh. Kut oru tuh in mwe akul inmasrlosr ac kowos ac oayapa fwil tokosr uh, kut in mau ku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD ye mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sel, wi kisa lasr inge ke mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Fin ouinge, na tulik nutuwos uh ac fah tia ku in fahk mu, ‘Wangin ip lowos sin LEUM GOD.’

28 And we said, If ever it should come to pass that they should speak [so] to us, or to our posterity hereafter; then shall they say, Behold the likeness of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for the sake of burnt offerings, nor for the sake of meat-offerings, but it is a witness between you and us, and between our sons.

Nunak lasr uh pa fin fahsr nwe tok tulik nutuwos elos fahk kas ouinge, na tulik natusr uh ac ku in fahk mu, ‘Liye, mwet matu lasr ah orala loang se oana loang lun LEUM GOD. Tia loang in mwe kisa firir ku kutena kain in kisa, a tuh in sie mwe akul inmasrlosr ac kowos.’

29 Far be it from us therefore that we should turn away from the Lord this day so as to apostatize from the Lord, so as that we should build an altar for burnt offerings, and for peace-offerings, besides the altar of the Lord which is before his tabernacle.

Wangin in nunak lasr kut in lain LEUM GOD, ku forla lukel misenge ke kut musaeak loang se nu ke mwe kisa firir, ku mwe kisa wheat, ku kutena kain in kisa. Kut tia lungse musaela kutena loang sayen loang lun LEUM GOD lasr su oan ye mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sel.”

30 And Phinees the priest and all the chiefs of the congregation of Israel who were with him heard the words which the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse spoke; and it pleased them.

Ke Phinehas mwet tol, ac mwet kol singoul ke sruf lun Israel su muta layen nu roto, elos lohng ma mwet ke sruf lun Reuben, Gad ac Manasseh Kutulap elos fahk inge, na elos insewowo kac.

31 And Phinees the priest said to the sons of Ruben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half of the tribe of Manasse, To-day we know that the Lord [is] with us, because you have not trespassed grievously against the Lord, and because you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.

Na Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar mwet tol, el fahk nu selos, “Inge kut etu lah LEUM GOD El wi kut mweyen kowos tia oru kutena ma in lainul ke ma kowos oru inge. Ouinge kowos molela Israel liki kaiyuk lun LEUM GOD.”

32 So Phinees the priest and the princes departed from the children of Ruben, and from the children of Gad, and from the half tribe of Manasse out of Galaad into the land of Chanaan to the children of Israel; and reported the words to them.

Na Phinehas wen natul Eleazar, ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel, elos som liki mwet lal Reuben ac Gad in acn Gilead, ac folokla nu Canaan nu yurin mwet Israel, ac fahkak ma inge nukewa nu selos.

33 And it pleased the children of Israel; and they spoke to the children of Israel, and blessed the God of the children of Israel, and told them to go up no more to war against the others to destroy the land of the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse: so they lived upon it.

Mwet Israel elos insewowo ke ma elos lohng ac kaksakin God. Elos tila sramsramkin in som mweun ac kunausla acn sin mwet Reuben ac mwet Gad.

34 And Joshua gave a name to the altar of the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse; and said, It is a testimony in the midst of them, that the Lord is their God.

Ac mwet Reuben ac mwet Gad elos fahk, “Loang se inge sie mwe loh nu sesr nukewa lah LEUM GOD El God.” Ouinge elos sang inen loang sac “Mwe Loh.”
