Numbers 32
1 Now the sons of Ruben and of Gad had many herds, and their substance in cattle was inestimable. And when they had seen that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were suitable for feeding animals,
Na he tini rawa nga kahui a nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga tama a Kara: a ka kite ratou i te whenua o Iatere, i te whenua hoki o Kireara, na, he wahi pai tena wahi mo nga kahui;
2 they went to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the multitude, and they said:
Na ka haere nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena, ka korero ki a Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga, ki nga rangatira ano o te whakaminenga, ka mea,
3 “Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
Ko Ataroto, ko Ripono, ko Iatere, ko Nimira, ko Hehepona, ko Ereare, ko Hepama, ko Nepo, ko Peono,
4 the land, which the Lord has struck in the sight of the sons of Israel, is a very fertile region for pasturing animals. And we, your servants, have very many cattle.
Ko te whenua katoa i patua na e Ihowa i te aroaro o te whakaminenga o Iharaira, he whenua pai tena mo nga kahui, he kahui ano hoki a au pononga.
5 And so we beseech you, if we have found favor before you, that you give it to us, your subjects, as a possession, and that you not cause us cross the Jordan.”
I mea ano ratou, Mehemea e manakohia ana matou i tou aroaro, me homai tenei whenua hei kainga mo au pononga; kaua matou e meatia kia whiti i Horano.
6 And Moses answered them: “Should your brothers go to battle, while you sit here?
Na ka mea a Miho ki nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena, Ko o koutou teina koia kia haere ki te whawhai, a ko koutou kia noho ki konei?
7 Why do you subvert the minds of the sons of Israel, so that they might not dare to cross into the place which the Lord will give to them?
He aha koutou i pehi ai i te ngakau o nga tama a Iharaira kia kaua e whiti ki te whenua i homai e Ihowa ki a ratou?
8 Did not your fathers act in the same way, when I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to explore the land?
I pena ano o koutou matua i taku tononga atu i a ratou i Kareheparenea kia kite i te whenua.
9 And when they had gone all the way to the Valley of the Cluster of Grapes, having viewed the entire region, they subverted the hearts of the sons of Israel, so that they would not enter into the parts that the Lord gave to them.
I to ratou haerenga hoki ki runga ki te awaawa o Ehekora, a, ka kite ratou i te whenua, na pehia ana e ratou nga ngakau o nga tama a Iharaira, kia kaua e haere ki te whenua i homai nei e Ihowa ki a ratou.
10 And being angry, the Lord swore an oath, saying:
Na ko te muranga o to Ihowa riri i taua ra, a ka oati ia, ka mea,
11 ‘These men, who ascended out of Egypt, from twenty years and above, will not see the land, which I have promised under an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For they were not willing to follow me,
E kore rawa nga tangata i haere mai nei i Ihipa, nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau, e kite i te whenua i oati ai ahau ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa; mo ratou kihai i tino whai i ahau:
12 except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; these have fulfilled my will.’
Heoi ano ko Karepe, ko te tama a Iepune Keniti, raua ko Hohua, te tama a Nunu; mo raua i tino whai i a Ihowa.
13 And the Lord, being angry against Israel, led them in a course through the desert for forty years, until the entire generation, which had done evil in his sight, was consumed.
Na ko te muranga o te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a meinga ana ratou kia kopikopiko i te koraha, e wha tekau nga tau, a poto noa taua whakapaparanga i mahi na i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa.
14 And behold,” he said, “you have risen up in the place of your fathers, the offshoots and the nurslings of sinful men, in order to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.
Na, kua ara ake na koutou hei whakakapi mo o koutou matua, he huanga tangata hara, hei whakanui atu i te mura o to Ihowa riri ki a Iharaira.
15 But if you are not willing to follow him, he will leave the people behind in the wilderness, and you will have been the cause of all our deaths.”
No te mea ki te tahuri ke koutou, a kahore e whai i a ia, ka waiho ano ratou e ia i te koraha; a ma koutou ka ngaro ai tenei iwi katoa.
16 But approaching closer, they said: “We will manufacture sheep pens and cattle stalls, as well as fortified cities, for our little ones.
Na ka whakatata ratou ki a ia, ka mea, Ka hanga e matou he taiepa hipi ki konei mo a matou kararehe, me etahi pa mo a matou tamariki:
17 But we ourselves will continue on, armed and girded for battle, before the sons of Israel, until we lead them to their places. Our little ones, and whatever we may be able to have, shall be in walled cities, because of the treachery of the inhabitants.
Ko matou ia ka haere me a matou patu i mua i nga tama a Iharaira, kia kawea ra ano ratou e matou ki te wahi mo ratou: a me noho a matou tamariki ki nga pa e whai taiepa ana, he wehi hoki i nga tangata o tenei whenua.
18 We will not return to our houses, even until the sons of Israel may possess their inheritance.
E kore matou e hoki ki o matou whare, kia riro ra ano tona kainga i tenei, i tenei o nga tama a Iharaira.
19 Neither will we seek anything across the Jordan, because we already have our possession on its eastern side.”
E kore hoki matou e tu tahi me ratou i te kainga i tawahi o Horano, i tua atu ranei; no te mea ka riro mai he kainga mo matou i tenei taha o Horano, i te taha ki te rawhiti.
20 And Moses said to them: “If you accomplish what you have promised, you may go out, equipped for battle, before the Lord.
Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Ki te meatia tenei mea e koutou, ki te haere koutou me a koutou patu i te aroaro o Ihowa ki te whawhai,
21 And let every fighting man cross over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrows his enemies,
Ki te whiti katoa hoki koutou i Horano me a koutou patu i te aroaro o Ihowa, kia peia ra ano e ia ona hoariri i mua i a ia,
22 and all the land is subjected to him. Then you will be guiltless with the Lord and with Israel, and you will obtain the regions which you desire before the Lord.
A ka taea te whenua i te aroaro o Ihowa: katahi koutou ka hoki, a ka harakore ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te aroaro ano hoki o Iharaira; a mo koutou tenei whenua hei nohoanga i te aroaro o Ihowa.
23 But if you do not do what you have said, no one could doubt that you will have sinned against God. And know this: your sin shall overtake you.
Tena ia, ka kore koutou e pena, nana, kua hara koutou ki a Ihowa; a kia mohio koutou, e hopukia ano koutou e to koutou hara.
24 Therefore, build cities for your little ones, and pens and stables for your sheep and cattle; and fulfill what you have promised.”
Hanga nga pa mo a koutou tamariki, me nga taiepa mo a koutou hipi; meatia ano hoki te mea i puta mai i o koutou mangai.
25 And the sons of Gad and of Ruben said to Moses: “We are your servants, we shall do what you, our ruler, orders.
Na ka korero nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena ki a Mohi, ka mea, Ka pena au pononga me ta toku ariki i whakahau ai.
26 We will leave behind our little ones, and our wives, and the sheep and cattle, in the cities of Gilead.
Ko reira a matou tamariki, a matou wahine, a matou kahui, me a matou kararehe katoa, ko nga pa o Kireara:
27 And we, your servants, all well-equipped, will go forth to battle, just as you, our ruler, has spoken.”
Ko au pononga ia me whiti katoa atu, rite rawa i te patu mo te pakanga, whawhai ai i te aroaro o Ihowa; me pera me ta toku ariki i ki ai.
28 Therefore, Moses instructed Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the princes of the families throughout the tribes of Israel, and he said to them:
Na ka whakahaua te tikanga mo ratou e Mohi ki a Ereatara tohunga, ratou ko Hohua tama a Nunu, ko nga ariki hoki o nga whare o nga matua o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira:
29 “If the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben cross over the Jordan with you, all armed for war before the Lord, and if the land becomes subject to you, give them Gilead as a possession.
A ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Ki te whiti katoa atu i roto i a koutou nga tama a Kara i Horano, ratou ko nga tama a Reupena me a ratou patu ano, whawhai ai i te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka taea te whenua i to koutou aroaro; na me hoatu e koutou te whenua o Kireara kia puritia e ratou:
30 But if they are not willing to cross with you, armed, into the land of Canaan, then let them receive places among you for their dwellings.”
Ki te kahore ia ratou e whiti tahi i a koutou, me a ratou patu, na, tena he wahi hei puritanga ma ratou i roto i a koutou i te whenua o Kanaana.
31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben responded: “Just as the Lord has spoken to his servants, so shall we do.
Na ka whakautua e nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena, ka mea, Ka rite tonu ta matou e mea ai ki ta Ihowa i korero mai ai ki au pononga.
32 We will go forth, armed, before the Lord into the land of Canaan; and we acknowledge that we have already received our possession across the Jordan.”
Me whiti matou me a matou patu i te aroaro o Ihowa ki te whenua o Kanaana, a hei puritanga ma matou to matou kainga i tenei taha o Horano.
33 And so, Moses gave to the sons of Gad and of Ruben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and their land with its surrounding cities.
Na ka homai e Mohi ki a ratou, ki nga tama a Kara, ki nga tama a Reupena ratou ko tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi tama a Hohepa te kingitanga o Hihona kingi o nga Amori, me te kingitanga o Oka kingi o Pahana, te whenua me ona pa i roto i o ratou rohe, ara nga pa o te whenua a tawhio noa.
34 Therefore, the sons of Gad built up Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Na ka hanga e nga tama a Kara a Ripono, a Ataroto, a Aroere;
35 and Atroth and Shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
Me Ateroto Hopana, me Iatere, me Iokopeta;
36 and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, as fortified cities with pens for their cattle.
Me Petenimira, me Peteharana: he pa taiepa, me nga taiepa mo nga hipi.
37 Yet truly, the sons of Ruben built up Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
A na nga tama a Reupena i hanga a Hehepona, a Ereare, a Kiriataima;
38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon (their names having been changed) and Sibmah, appointing names for the cities which they had built.
A Nepo, a Paarameono, i whakaputaia ketia hoki nga ingoa, me Hipima: i huaina ano hoki e ratou he ingoa ke ki nga pa i hanga e ratou.
39 Moreover, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, continued on within Gilead, and they devastated it, putting to death its inhabitant, the Amorite.
A i haere atu nga tama a Makiri tama a Manahi ki Kireara, a tangohia ana e ia, peia ana hoki te Amori i reira.
40 Therefore, Moses gave the land of Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh, and he lived in it.
A i hoatu e Mohi a Kireara ki a Makiri tama a Manahi; a noho ana ia i reira.
41 But Jair, the son of Manasseh, went out and occupied its villages, which he called Havoth Jair, that is, the Villages of Jair.
A i haere a Haira tama a Manahi, a tangohia ana e ia nga pa o reira, a huaina iho e ia, ko Hawotohaira.
42 Likewise, Nobah went forth and captured Kenath with its villages. And he called it by his own name, Nobah.
A i haere a Nopaha, a tangohia ana e ia a Kenata, me ona pa ririki, a huaina iho ki tona ingoa, ki a Nopaha.
