Numbers 32
1 And the children of Ruben and the children of Gad had a multitude of cattle, very great; and they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Galaad; and the place was a place for cattle:
Arubeni ndi Agadi amene anali ndi ngʼombe zambiri ndi ziweto zina anaona dziko la Yazeri ndi la Giliyadi kuti linali labwino kwa ziwetozo.
2 and the children of Ruben and the children of Gad came, and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
Choncho Arubeni ndi Agadi anapita kwa Mose ndi kwa wansembe Eliezara ndi kwa atsogoleri a anthu ndi kunena kuti,
3 Ataroth, and Daebon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabau, and Baean,
“Ataroti, Diboni, Yazeri, Nimira, Hesiboni, Eleali, Sebamu, Nebo ndi Beoni,
4 the land which the Lord has delivered up before the children of Israel, is pasture land, and your servants have cattle.
dziko lomwe Yehova anagonjetsa pamaso pa Aisraeli, ndiwo malo woyenera ziweto, ndipo atumiki anufe tili ndi ziweto.
5 And they said, If we have found grace in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession, and do not cause us to pass over Jordan.
Iwo anati, ‘Ngati tapeza ufulu pamaso panu atumiki anufe, mutipatse dziko limeneli kuti likhale lathu. Tisawoloke nanu Yorodani.’”
6 And Moses said to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall you sit here?
Ndipo Mose anati kwa Agadi ndi Arubeni, “Kodi anthu a mtundu wanu apite ku nkhondo inu mutangokhala kuno?
7 And why do you pervert the minds of the children of Israel, that they should not cross over into the land, which the Lord gives them?
Chifukwa chiyani mukufowoketsa Aisraeli kupita mʼdziko limene Yehova wawapatsa?
8 Did not your fathers thus, when I sent them from Cades Barne to spy out the land?
Izi ndi zimene makolo anu anachita pamene ndinawatuma kuchokera ku Kadesi kukaona dzikolo.
9 And they went up to the valley of the cluster, and spied the land, and turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land, which the Lord gave them.
Atapita ku chigwa cha Esikolo, ndi kuliona dzikolo, anafowoketsa Aisraeli kuti asalowe mʼdziko limene Yehova anawapatsa.
10 And the Lord was very angry in that day, and sware, saying,
Yehova anakwiya tsiku limenelo ndipo analumbira kuti,
11 Surely these men who came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upward, who know good and evil, shall not see the land which I sware [to give] to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, for they have not closely followed after me:
‘Chifukwa sananditsatire ndi mtima wonse, palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa amuna a zaka makumi awiri kapena kuposa pamenepo, amene anachokera ku Igupto, amene adzaone dziko limene ndinalonjeza mwa lumbiro kwa Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo.
12 save Caleb the son of Jephonne, who was set apart, and Joshua the son of Naue, for they closely followed after the Lord.
Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe kupatula Kalebe mwana wa Yefune, Mkeni, ndi Yoswa mwana wa Nuni chifukwa anatsatira Yehova ndi mtima wonse.’
13 And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and for forty years he caused them to wander in the wilderness, until all the generation which did evil in the sight of the Lord was extinct.
Yehova anakwiyira Aisraeli kwambiri ndipo anawachititsa kuyenda mʼchipululu zaka makumi anayi, mpaka mʼbado wonse wa anthu amene anachita choyipa pamaso pake unatha.
14 Behold, you are risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against Israel.
“Ndipo onani tsopano, inu mʼbado wochimwa, mwalowa mʼmalo mwa makolo anu ndipo mwachititsa kuti Yehova akwiyire Israeli kwambiri.
15 For you will turn away from him to desert him yet once more in the wilderness, and you will sin against this whole congregation.
Ngati muleka kumutsata, Iye adzawasiyiranso anthu onsewa mʼchipululu ndipo mudzawonongetsa anthu onsewa.”
16 And they came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions;
Ndipo iwo anabwera kwa Mose namuwuza kuti, “Ife tikufuna kumanga makola a ziweto zathu kuno ndi mizinda yokhalamo akazi athu ndi ana athu.
17 and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
Koma ndife okonzeka kutenga zida za nkhondo ndi kupita pamodzi ndi Aisraeli mpaka titakawafikitsa ku malo awo. Panopa, akazi ndi ana athu akhala mʼmizinda yotetezedwa, kuwateteza kwa anthu okhala mʼdzikoli.
18 We will not return to our houses till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own inheritance.
Sitidzabwerera ku midzi yathu mpaka Mwisraeli aliyense atalandira cholowa chake.
19 And we will not any longer inherit with them from the other side of Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance on the side beyond Jordan eastward.
Sitidzalandira cholowa chilichonse pamodzi nawo ku tsidya lina la Yorodani, chifukwa cholowa chathu tachipezera ku tsidya lino la kummawa kwa Yorodani.”
20 And Moses said to them, If you will do according to these words, if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle,
Tsono Mose anati kwa anthuwo, “Ngati inu mudzachita zimenezi, kutenga zida zankhondo pamaso pa Yehova kuti muchite nkhondo,
21 and every one of you will pass over Jordan fully armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his face,
ndipo ngati nonsenu mudzapita ndi zida kuwoloka Yorodani pamaso pa Yehova mpaka atachotsa adani ake pamaso pake,
22 and the land shall be subdued before the Lord, then afterwards you shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as regards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the Lord.
dzikolo nʼkugonja pamaso pa Yehova, mudzabwera ndi kukhala mfulu pamaso pa Yehova ndi Aisraeli. Ndipo dziko lino lidzakhala lanu pamaso pa Yehova.
23 But if you will not do so, you will sin against the Lord; and you shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you.
“Koma mukalephera kuchita izi, mudzakhala mukuchimwira Yehova. Ndipo dziwani kuti tchimo lanu lidzakupezani.
24 And you shall build for yourselves cities for your store, and folds for your cattle; and you shall do that which proceeds out of your mouth.
Amangireni akazi ndi ana anu mizinda, mangani makola a ziweto zanu, koma chitani zomwe mwalonjeza.”
25 And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Your servants will do as our lord commands.
Agadi ndi Arubeni anati kwa Mose, “Ife antchito anu tidzachita monga mbuye wathu mwalamulira.
26 Our store, and our wives, and all our cattle shall be in the cities of Galaad.
Ana ndi akazi athu, ziweto zathu zina ndi ngʼombe zidzatsala kuno ku mizinda ya Giliyadi,
27 But your servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as [our] lord says.
koma antchito anufe, mwamuna aliyense amene ali ndi chida cha nkhondo, adzawoloka kukamenya nkhondo pamaso pa Yehova monga mbuye wathu wanenera.”
28 And Moses appointed to them [for judges] Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes of Israel.
Choncho Mose anapereka malamulo awa kwa wansembe Eliezara, kwa Yoswa mwana wa Nuni ndi kwa akulu a mafuko a Aisraeli.
29 And Moses said to them, If the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you, every one armed for war before the Lord, and you shall subdue the land before you, then you shall give to them the land of Galaad for a possession.
Mose anawawuza kuti, ngati Agadi ndi Arubeni, mwamuna aliyense wokonzekera nkhondo, awoloka Yorodani pamodzi ndi inu pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo dzikolo nʼkugonjetsedwa pamaso panu, mudzawapatse dziko la Giliyadi kukhala lawo.
30 But if they will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall you cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan.
Koma ngati sawoloka pamodzi nanu ndi zida zankhondo, ayenera kulandira cholowa chawo pamodzi ndi inu ku Kanaani.
31 And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that will we do.
Agadi ndi Arubeni anayankha kuti, “Antchito anu adzachita zimene Yehova wanena.
32 We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and you shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan.
Tidzawoloka pamaso pa Yehova ndipo tidzalowa mu Kanaani ndi zida zankhondo, koma cholowa chathu chidzakhala ku tsidya lino la Yorodani.”
33 And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about.
Choncho Mose anapatsa Agadi, Arubeni ndi theka la fuko la Manase mwana wa Yosefe dziko la Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori ndi dziko la Ogi, mfumu ya ku Basani, dziko lonse, mizinda yake ndi midzi yowazungulira.
34 And the sons of Gad built Daebon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Agadi anamanga Diboni, Ataroti, Aroeri,
35 and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up,
Atiroti-Sofani, Yazeri, Yogibeha,
36 and Namram, and Baetharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep.
Beti-Nimira ndi Beti-Harani mizinda ya malinga. Anamanganso makola a ziweto zawo.
37 And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham,
Ndipo Arubeni anamanga Hesiboni, Eleali, Kiriataimu,
38 and Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls], and Sebama; and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their own names.
Nebo ndi Baala-Meoni (mayina awa anasinthidwa) ndi Sibima. Anapereka mayina ku mizinda ina yomwe anamangayo.
39 And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who lived in it.
Zidzukulu za Makiri mwana wa Manase zinapita ku Giliyadi kulanda mzindawo ndi kuthamangitsira kunja Aamori omwe anali kumeneko.
40 And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he lived there.
Tsono Mose anapereka Giliyadi kwa Amakiri, ana a Manase, ndipo anakhala kumeneko.
41 And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair.
Yairi, mwana wa Manase analanda midzi yambiri ya Giliyadi ndi kuyitcha kuti Havoti-Yairi.
42 And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages, and called them Naboth after his name.
Ndipo Noba analanda Kenati ndi midzi yozungulira ndi kuyitcha Noba, kutengera dzina la iye mwini.
