Numbers 32
1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, 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 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto 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 Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Ataroti, Diboni, Yazeri, Nimira, Hesiboni, Eleali, Sebamu, Nebo ndi Beoni,
4 the land which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy 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 favour in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.'
Iwo anati, ‘Ngati tapeza ufulu pamaso panu atumiki anufe, mutipatse dziko limeneli kuti likhale lathu. Tisawoloke nanu Yorodani.’”
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: 'Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here?
Ndipo Mose anati kwa Agadi ndi Arubeni, “Kodi anthu a mtundu wanu apite ku nkhondo inu mutangokhala kuno?
7 And wherefore will ye turn away the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
Chifukwa chiyani mukufowoketsa Aisraeli kupita mʼdziko limene Yehova wawapatsa?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
Izi ndi zimene makolo anu anachita pamene ndinawatuma kuchokera ku Kadesi kukaona dzikolo.
9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they turned away the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
Atapita ku chigwa cha Esikolo, ndi kuliona dzikolo, anafowoketsa Aisraeli kuti asalowe mʼdziko limene Yehova anawapatsa.
10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled in that day, and He swore, saying:
Yehova anakwiya tsiku limenelo ndipo analumbira kuti,
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed 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 Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed 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'S anger was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
Yehova anakwiyira Aisraeli kwambiri ndipo anawachititsa kuyenda mʼchipululu zaka makumi anayi, mpaka mʼbado wonse wa anthu amene anachita choyipa pamaso pake unatha.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a brood of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
“Ndipo onani tsopano, inu mʼbado wochimwa, mwalowa mʼmalo mwa makolo anu ndipo mwachititsa kuti Yehova akwiyire Israeli kwambiri.
15 For if ye turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and so ye will destroy all this people.'
Ngati muleka kumutsata, Iye adzawasiyiranso anthu onsewa mʼchipululu ndipo mudzawonongetsa anthu onsewa.”
16 And they came near unto him, and said: 'We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;
Ndipo iwo anabwera kwa Mose namuwuza kuti, “Ife tikufuna kumanga makola a ziweto zathu kuno ndi mizinda yokhalamo akazi athu ndi ana athu.
17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified 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 unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Sitidzabwerera ku midzi yathu mpaka Mwisraeli aliyense atalandira cholowa chake.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the 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 unto them: 'If ye will do this thing: if ye will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
Tsono Mose anati kwa anthuwo, “Ngati inu mudzachita zimenezi, kutenga zida zankhondo pamaso pa Yehova kuti muchite nkhondo,
21 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until He hath driven out His enemies from before Him,
ndipo ngati nonsenu mudzapita ndi zida kuwoloka Yorodani pamaso pa Yehova mpaka atachotsa adani ake pamaso pake,
22 and the land be subdued before the LORD, and ye return afterward; then ye shall be clear before the LORD, and before Israel, and this land shall be unto 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 ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD; and know ye your sin which will find you.
“Koma mukalephera kuchita izi, mudzakhala mukuchimwira Yehova. Ndipo dziwani kuti tchimo lanu lidzakupezani.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.'
Amangireni akazi ndi ana anu mizinda, mangani makola a ziweto zanu, koma chitani zomwe mwalonjeza.”
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
Agadi ndi Arubeni anati kwa Mose, “Ife antchito anu tidzachita monga mbuye wathu mwalamulira.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
Ana ndi akazi athu, ziweto zathu zina ndi ngʼombe zidzatsala kuno ku mizinda ya Giliyadi,
27 but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.'
koma antchito anufe, mwamuna aliyense amene ali ndi chida cha nkhondo, adzawoloka kukamenya nkhondo pamaso pa Yehova monga mbuye wathu wanenera.”
28 So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children 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 unto them: 'If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead 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 with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.'
Koma ngati sawoloka pamodzi nanu ndi zida zankhondo, ayenera kulandira cholowa chawo pamodzi ndi inu ku Kanaani.
31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying: 'As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
Agadi ndi Arubeni anayankha kuti, “Antchito anu adzachita zimene Yehova wanena.
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the 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 unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities thereof with their borders, even 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 children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer;
Agadi anamanga Diboni, Ataroti, Aroeri,
35 and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah;
Atiroti-Sofani, Yazeri, Yogibeha,
36 and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran; fortified cities, and folds for sheep.
Beti-Nimira ndi Beti-Harani mizinda ya malinga. Anamanganso makola a ziweto zawo.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim;
Ndipo Arubeni anamanga Hesiboni, Eleali, Kiriataimu,
38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon — their names being changed — and Sibmah; and gave their names unto the cities which they builded.
Nebo ndi Baala-Meoni (mayina awa anasinthidwa) ndi Sibima. Anapereka mayina ku mizinda ina yomwe anamangayo.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein.
Zidzukulu za Makiri mwana wa Manase zinapita ku Giliyadi kulanda mzindawo ndi kuthamangitsira kunja Aamori omwe anali kumeneko.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
Tsono Mose anapereka Giliyadi kwa Amakiri, ana a Manase, ndipo anakhala kumeneko.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the villages thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair.
Yairi, mwana wa Manase analanda midzi yambiri ya Giliyadi ndi kuyitcha kuti Havoti-Yairi.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Ndipo Noba analanda Kenati ndi midzi yozungulira ndi kuyitcha Noba, kutengera dzina la iye mwini.
