Joshua 22
1 Then Joshua summoned the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Joṣua sì pe àwọn ẹ̀yà Reubeni, ẹ̀yà Gadi àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase
2 He told them, “You have done everything that Moses, the servant of the Lord, told you to do, and you have followed all the commands I gave you.
ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ti ṣe gbogbo èyí tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa pàṣẹ, ẹ sì ti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ohun gbogbo tí mo pàṣẹ.
3 You have never abandoned your brothers all this time, right up to the present day. You have carefully followed what the Lord your God ordered you to do.
Ẹ kò fi àwọn arákùnrin yín sílẹ̀ láti ìgbà yí títí di òní, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ti kíyèsára láti pa òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mọ́.
4 Now that the Lord your God has given peace to your brothers, as he promised, go back home to your land that Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you on the other side of the Jordan.
Nísinsin yìí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti fún àwọn arákùnrin yín ní ìsinmi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣèlérí, ẹ padà sí ilẹ̀ yín níbi tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa fi fún yin ní òdìkejì Jordani.
5 But make sure you keep the commandments and the law as Moses instructed you. Love the Lord your God, follow all his ways, keep his commandments, stay close to him, and serve him with your whole being.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ṣọ́ra gidigidi láti pa àṣẹ àti òfin tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa fi fún yin mọ́. Láti fẹ́ràn Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, láti rìn nínú gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀, láti gbọ́rọ̀ sí àṣẹ rẹ̀, láti dìímú ṣinṣin àti láti sìn ín pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn yín àti gbogbo àyà yín.”
6 Joshua blessed them, sent them on their way, and they went home.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua súre fún wọn, ó sì jẹ́ kí wọn máa lọ sí ilẹ̀ wọn.
7 Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh the land of Bashan, and to the other half of the tribe Joshua had given land west of the Jordan. Joshua blessed them and sent them home.
(Mose ti fi ilẹ̀ fún ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase ní Baṣani, Joṣua sì ti fún ìdajì ẹ̀yà yòókù ní ilẹ̀ ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn Jordani, pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin wọn). Joṣua súre fún wọn ó sì jẹ́ kí wọn máa lọ sí ilẹ̀ wọn,
8 He told them, “Take all the wealth you have gained back home: the great herds of livestock, the things made of gold, silver, copper, and iron, the huge quantity of clothes. Share all this plunder with your brothers.”
Ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ padà sí ilẹ̀ ẹ yín pẹ̀lú ọrọ̀ púpọ̀ yín, pẹ̀lú agbo ẹran ọ̀sìn, pẹ̀lú fàdákà, wúrà, idẹ àti irin, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ aṣọ, kí ẹ sì pín ìkógun tí ẹ rí gbà láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọ̀tá yín pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin yín.”
9 So the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the rest of the Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and went home to their land in Gilead that they had received at the Lord's command through Moses.
Báyìí ni àwọn ẹ̀yà Reubeni, ẹ̀yà Gadi àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase fi àwọn ará Israẹli sílẹ̀ ní Ṣilo ní Kenaani láti padà sí Gileadi, ilẹ̀ wọn, èyí tí wọ́n ti gbà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ Olúwa láti ẹnu Mose wá.
10 When they approached the Jordan region, still in the land of Canaan, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built a large and impressive altar beside the Jordan River.
Nígbà tí wọ́n wá dé Geliloti ní ẹ̀bá Jordani ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, àwọn ẹ̀yà Reubeni, ẹ̀yà Gadi àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase mọ pẹpẹ ńlá tí ó tóbi kan ní ẹ̀bá Jordani.
11 The Israelites were told, “Look, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the Jordan region of the land of Canaan, on the side belonging to the Israelities.”
Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbọ́ pé àwọn ọmọ Reubeni, àti àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti ìlàjì ẹ̀yà Manase mọ pẹpẹ kan dojúkọ ilẹ̀ Kenaani ní Geliloti ní ẹ̀bá Jordani ní ìhà kejì àwọn ọmọ Israẹli,
12 The Israelites gathered at Shiloh to go to war against them.
gbogbo àjọ Israẹli péjọ ní Ṣilo láti lọ bá wọn jagun.
13 Before they did so, they sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli rán Finehasi ọmọ Eleasari àlùfáà, sí ilẹ̀ Gileadi, sí Reubeni, sí Gadi àti sí ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase.
14 Ten leaders went with him, one from each of the ten tribes of Israel, and each the head of his family.
Pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ wọ́n rán àwọn ọkùnrin olóyè mẹ́wàá, ẹnìkan fún ẹ̀yà Israẹli kọ̀ọ̀kan, olórí ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan tiwọn jẹ́ olórí ìdílé láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
15 After they arrived they told the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
Nígbà tí wọ́n lọ sí Gileadi—sí Reubeni, Gadi àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase—wọ́n sì sọ fún wọn pé,
16 “This is what all of the Lord's people say, ‘What is this disloyal act you have committed against the God of Israel by building an altar for yourselves? How could you turn away from him now in such rebellion?
“Gbogbo àjọ ènìyàn Olúwa wí pe, ‘A fẹ́ mọ ìdí tí ẹ fi sẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run Israẹli nípa yíyí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ tí ẹ sì kọ́ pẹpẹ ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ ní ìlòdì sí Olúwa?
17 Wasn't our sin at Peor enough? Even now we're still not clean from the plague that attacked the Lord's people.
Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Peori kò ha tó fún wa bí? Títí di òní yìí àwa kò tí ì wẹ ara wa mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ náà, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ti jà láàrín ènìyàn Olúwa!
18 So why are you turning away from the Lord now? If you rebel against the Lord today, he will be angry with all of us tomorrow!
Ṣé ẹ tún wá ń padà kúrò lẹ́yìn Olúwa ni báyìí? “‘Tí ẹ̀yin bá ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa ní òní, ní ọ̀la ní òun o bínú sí gbogbo ìpéjọpọ̀ Israẹli.
19 But if you think your land is tainted then come over to the land of the Lord where the Tabernacle of the Lord is located and share some of our land with us. Just don't rebel against the Lord, or against us, by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the Lord our God.
Bí ilẹ̀ ìní yín bá di àìmọ́, ẹ wá sí orí ilẹ̀ ìní Olúwa, ní ibi tí àgọ́ Olúwa dúró sí, kí ẹ sì pín ilẹ̀ náà pẹ̀lú wa. Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ má ṣe ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa tàbí sí wa nípa mímọ pẹpẹ fún ara yín, lẹ́yìn pẹpẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.
20 When Achan, son of Zerah, acted disloyally in taking consecrated things, didn't the whole of Israel suffer punishment? He wasn't the only one who died because of his sin!”
Nígbà tí Akani ọmọ Sera ṣe àìṣòótọ́ nípa ohun ìyàsọ́tọ̀, ǹjẹ́ ìbínú kò wá sí orí gbogbo àjọ ènìyàn Israẹli nítorí rẹ̀ bí? Òun nìkan kọ́ ni ó kú fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ẹ rẹ̀.’”
21 Then the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered the Israelite leaders,
Nígbà náà ni Reubeni, Gadi àti ẹ̀yà Manase sọ nínú ìdáhùn wọn fún àwọn olórí Israẹli pé.
22 “The Lord is God of gods, the Lord is God of gods, and he knows! May Israel also know! If we're in rebellion against God or being disloyal to him then kill us right now!
Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọlọ́run! Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọlọ́run, Òun mọ̀, jẹ́ kí Israẹli pẹ̀lú kí ó mọ̀! Bí èyí bá wà ní ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ tàbí àìgbọ́ràn sí Olúwa, ẹ má ṣe gbà wa ní òní yìí.
23 If our action of building an altar was to turn away from the Lord, or to use the altar to make burnt offerings or grain offerings or friendship offerings, then may the Lord punish us.
Bí àwa bá ti mọ pẹpẹ wa láti yí padà kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa àti láti rú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ oúnjẹ jíjẹ, tàbí ẹbọ àlàáfíà ní orí rẹ, kí Olúwa fún ara rẹ̀ gba ẹ̀san.
24 We did this because we were worried that in the future your descendants might say to ours, ‘What have you got to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?
“Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Àwa ṣe èyí ní ìbẹ̀rù pé ní ọjọ́ tí àwọn ọmọ yín yóò wí fún wa pé, ‘Kí ni ẹ̀yin ní ṣe pẹ̀lú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli?
25 The Lord put a border—the Jordan River—between us and you, descendants of Reuben and Gad. You don't belong to the Lord.’ So your descendants might stop our descendants from worshiping the Lord.
Olúwa ti fi Jordani ṣe ààlà láàrín àwa àti ẹ̀yin—àwọn ọmọ Reubeni àti àwọn ọmọ Gadi! Ẹ kò ni ní ìpín nínú Olúwa.’ Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ yín lè mú kí àwọn ọmọ wa dẹ́kun láti máa bẹ̀rù Olúwa.
26 So we said to ourselves, ‘Let's build an altar, not for burnt offerings or for sacrifices,
“Nítorí èyí ni àwa ṣe wí pé, ‘Ẹ jẹ́ kí àwa múra láti mọ pẹpẹ kan, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún ẹbọ sísun, tàbí fún àwọn ìrúbọ.’
27 but as a witness between us and you, and for the generations that come after us, that we will come to worship the Lord in his presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and friendship offerings.’ Then your descendants will not be able to say to ours in the future, ‘You don't belong to the Lord.’
Ní ọ̀nà mìíràn, yóò jẹ́ ẹ̀rí kan láàrín àwa àti ẹ̀yin àti àwọn ìran tí ń bọ̀, pé àwa yóò jọ́sìn fún Olúwa ní ibi mímọ́ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ẹbọ sísun wa, ẹbọ àti ọrẹ àlàáfíà. Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yìn ọ̀la, àwọn ọmọ yín kò ní lè sọ fún tiwa pé, ‘Ẹ kò ní ìpín nínú ti Olúwa.’
28 If they were to do so in the future, our descendants could reply, ‘Look at this copy of the Lord's altar which our forefathers made, not for burnt offerings or for sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’
“Àwa sì wí pé, ‘Tí wọ́n bá tilẹ̀ sọ èyí fún wa, tàbí sí àwọn ọmọ wa, a ó dáhùn pé, “Ẹ wo àpẹẹrẹ pẹpẹ Olúwa, èyí tí àwọn baba wa mọ, kì í ṣe fún ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ṣùgbọ́n fún ẹ̀rí láàrín àwa àti ẹ̀yin.”’
29 We would never think to rebel against the Lord or to turn away from him now by building an altar to make burnt offerings or grain offerings or sacrifices. The only altar of the Lord our God is the one stands in front of his Tabernacle.”
“Kí Ọlọ́run má jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa, kí àwa sì yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ ní òní nípa mímọ pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun, ọrẹ oúnjẹ jíjẹ àti ẹbọ lẹ́yìn pẹpẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa tí ó dúró níwájú àgọ́ rẹ̀.”
30 When Phinehas and the Israelite leaders heard this from the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh they were delighted.
Nígbà tí Finehasi àlùfáà àti àwọn olórí ìjọ ènìyàn, àwọn olórí ìdílé Israẹli gbọ́ ohun tí Reubeni, Gadi àti Manase ti sọ, ó dùn mọ́ wọn.
31 Phinehas replied to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, “Today we know that the Lord is with us because you have not acted disloyally in doing this. Now you have saved the Israelites from being punished by the Lord.”
Finehasi ọmọ Eleasari, àlùfáà wí fún Reubeni, Gadi àti Manase pé, “Ní òní ni àwa mọ̀ pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú wa, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin kò hùwà àìṣòótọ́ sí Olúwa ní orí ọ̀rọ̀ yí nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin ti yọ àwọn ará Israẹli kúrò ní ọwọ́ Olúwa”.
32 Then Phinehas and the Israelite leaders left the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead and returned to the land of Canaan to explain the situation to the Israelites.
Nígbà náà ni Finehasi ọmọ Eleasari àlùfáà àti àwọn olórí padà sí Kenaani láti ibi ìpàdé wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹ̀yà Reubeni àti ẹ̀yà Gadi ní Gileadi, wọ́n sì mú ìròyìn tọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ.
33 The Israelites were pleased with the report and God blessed them. They didn't talk about going to war any more to destroy the land where the tribes of Reuben and Gad were living.
Inú wọn sì dùn láti gbọ́ ìròyìn náà, wọ́n sì yin Ọlọ́run. Wọn kò sì sọ̀rọ̀ mọ́ nípa lílọ bá wọn jagun láti run ilẹ̀ tí àwọn ẹ̀yà Reubeni àti ẹ̀yà Gadi ń gbé.
34 The tribes of Reuben and Gad called the altar, “Witness,” because they said, “It is a witness between us that the Lord is also our God.”
Ẹ̀yà Reubeni àti ẹ̀yà Gadi sì fún pẹpẹ náà ní orúkọ yìí, “Ẹ̀rí láàrín wa pé Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run.”
