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,
Mgbe ndị Izrel rutere ala Jeza na Gilead, ndị ebo Ruben na Gad ndị nwere ọtụtụ igwe ehi, na igwe ewu na atụrụ chọpụtara na ala ahụ dị mma nke ukwuu maka ịzụ anụ ụlọ.
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:
Ya mere, ha bịakwutere Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja, na ndị ndu nzukọ Izrel, sị ha,
3 'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Ala ndị a: Atarọt, Dibọn, Jeza, Nimra, Heshbọn, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo, na Beon,
4 the land which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'
bụ ala nke Onyenwe anyị meriri nʼagha nʼihu nzukọ Izrel, dị mma maka ịzụ anụ ụlọ. Anyị onwe anyị kwa nwere igwe ewu na atụrụ.
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.'
Ọ bụrụ na anyị achọtala amara nʼihu unu, biko, kwerenụ ka akụkụ ala a bụrụ ihe nketa nke anyị bụ ohu unu. Unu emekwala ka anyị soro ndị Izrel gafee nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan.”
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?
Mosis jụrụ ndị Gad na Ruben ajụjụ sị, “Unu na-ekwu na unu chọrọ ịnọ nʼebe a mgbe ụmụnna unu ndị ikom niile ga-agafe osimiri Jọdan ịlụ agha niile ahụ dị na-eche ha?
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?
Ọ bụ nʼihi gịnị ka unu ji eme ka ndị Izrel daa mba ghara ịgafe banye nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyerela ha?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
Otu a ka nna unu ha mere mgbe m si Kadesh Banea zipụ ha inyocha ala ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ha letasịrị ala ahụ si na Ndagwurugwu Eshkọl lọghachi, ha mere ka obi ndị Izrel niile daa mba ịbanye nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ha.
10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled in that day, and He swore, saying:
Nʼihi nke a Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide ha nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ọ ṅụrụ iyi kwuo sị,
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;
‘Nʼihi na unu jụrụ iji obi unu niile gbasoo m, o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ahụ o si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta, ndị gbara iri afọ abụọ rigoo, ga-ahụ ala ahụ m kwere Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb nkwa inye ha.’
12 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed the LORD.
Naanị ndị ọṅụṅụ iyi a na-emegideghị bụ Kaleb, nwa Jefune onye Keniz, na Joshua nwa Nun, nʼihi na ha jiri obi ha niile sogide Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Iwe Onyenwe anyị dịịrị ọkụ megide Izrel, o mere ka ha wagharịa nʼọzara iri afọ anọ, tutu ruo mgbe ọgbọ ahụ niile nke mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya ya nwụchara.
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.
“Ma lee unu ugbu a, agbụrụ ndị mmehie, ọ bụkwa otu ihe ahụ ka unu na-eme! Unu na-achọ ime ka iwe dị ukwuu wee Onyenwe anyị megide ndị Izrel.
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.'
Ọ bụrụ na unu ajụ iso Onyenwe anyị ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ka ndị Izrel nọgide nʼọzara. Mbibi na ịla nʼiyi nke ga-abịakwasị ha ga-abụkwa nke unu ji aka unu kpatara ha.”
16 And they came near unto him, and said: 'We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;
Ma ha zara sị ya, “Ọ gaghị adị otu a! Anyị ga-ewuru anụ ụlọ anyị ụlọ, tinye igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị nʼime ha. Anyị ga-ewukwara ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụntakịrị anyị obodo ebe ha ga-anọ.
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.
Ma anyị onwe anyị ga-eburu ngwa agha anyị, buru ndị Izrel niile ọzọ ụzọ gaa nʼihu ịlụ ọgụ, tutu anyị edubata ha nʼala nke ha ga-eketa. Ma ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụntakịrị anyị ga-anọ nʼobodo e wusiri ike, ikpuchite ezinaụlọ anyị niile site nʼaka ndị iro bi anyị gburugburu.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Anyị agaghị alọta nʼụlọ anyị tutu onye Izrel ọbụla enweta ihe nketa nke ya.
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.'
Anyị achọghị ihe nketa, nʼofe Jọdan nke ọzọ, nʼihi na anyị ewerela oke nke anyị nʼebe a, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Jọdan.”
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,
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis zara sị ha, “Ọ dị mma, ọ bụrụ na unu ga-eme dịka unu kwuru, jikere onwe unu, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ibu agha.
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,
Ọ bụrụ na ndị agha unu ga-eso gafee nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan, soro ndị ọzọ buo agha tutu ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị chụpụchara ndị iro ya niile,
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.
mgbe ahụ, e merichaa mba ndị ahụ niile nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, unu nwere ike ịlọghachi nʼebe a, bụrụ ndị ikpe na-amaghị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị na ndị Izrel nọ. Ala a dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, ga-abụ ihe nketa unu nwere site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD; and know ye your sin which will find you.
“Ọ bụrụkwanụ na unu ajụ ime dịka unu kwuru, mgbe ahụ, ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-emehie megide. Matakwanụ na unu ga-emesịa nata ụgwọ ọrụ mmehie unu.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.'
Wuonụ obodo ebe ndị inyom na ụmụ unu ga-ebi, wuokwanụ ụlọ anụ maka igwe ewu na atụrụ unu, ma mezuokwanụ ihe niile unu kweere na nkwa.”
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
Ndị ebo Gad na Ruben sịrị Mosis, “Anyị bụ ndị ohu gị ga-eme dịka onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
Ụmụ anyị niile, na ndị inyom anyị niile, na igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị, na ehi anyị niile, ga-anọ nʼebe a, nʼobodo ndị a anyị wuru nʼala Gilead.
27 but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.'
Ma anyị, ndị ohu gị, ndị niile tozuru ije agha, ga-agafe osimiri Jọdan ibu agha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, dịka onyenwe anyị si kwuo.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis nyere Elieza, bụ onye nchụaja, na Joshua nwa Nun, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ nke ebo Izrel niile iwu banyere ha,
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;
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na ndị ebo Gad na Ruben, onye ọbụla nke jikere ịga agha, ga-eso unu gafee Jọdan nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, mgbe ahụ, oge unu lụgburu ndị ala ahụ niile, unu aghaghị inye ha ala Gilead dịka ihe nketa ha.
30 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.'
Ma ọ bụrụ na ha ajụ iso unu, ha ga-eso ndị ọzọ keta oke nʼala Kenan.”
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.
Ndị ebo Gad na Ruben zara sị, “Ihe ọbụla Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu ka anyị ga-eme.
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.'
Anyị ga-ejikere soro Onyenwe anyị jee agha nʼala Kenan. Ma ihe nketa anyị ga-adị nʼebe a, nʼakụkụ Jọdan.”
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.
Mosis nyere ndị ebo Gad, na Ruben, na ọkara Manase nwa Josef, alaeze niile Saịhọn eze Amọrị nakwa alaeze niile nke Ọg, eze ndị Bashan na-achị. O nyere ha ala ahụ niile, na obodo niile dị nʼala ahụ gburugburu.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer;
Ndị ebo Gad wugharịrị ma wusiekwa obodo ndị a, Dibọn, Atarọt, Aroea
35 and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah;
Atrọt-Shofan, Jeza, Jogbeha,
36 and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran; fortified cities, and folds for sheep.
Bet-Nimra na Bet-Haran bụ obodo e wusiri ike, wukwaara igwe ewu na atụrụ ha ụlọ anụ nʼime ya.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim;
Ma ndị ebo Ruben wugharịrị obodo ndị a: obodo Heshbọn, Eleale, Kiriatem,
38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon — their names being changed — and Sibmah; and gave their names unto the cities which they builded.
Nebo na Baal-Meon (ma a gbanwere aha ha) na Sibma. Ha gbanwere aha obodo niile ndị ahụ ha wugharịrị, gụọ ha aha ọhụrụ.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein.
Ndị agbụrụ Makia, nwa Manase gara nʼobodo Gilead lụgbuo ya, chụpụ ndị Amọrait bi nʼebe ahụ.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
Ya mere, Mosis were obodo Gilead nye Makia, ụmụ Manase ka ha biri nʼebe ahụ.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the villages thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair.
Jia, onye sikwa nʼebo Manase gara buso ọtụtụ obodo nta ndị ọzọ agha, lụgbuo ha. Ọ gbanwere aha obodo nta ndị a, gụọ ha Havọt Jaịa.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nʼoge a kwa, otu nwoke a na-akpọ Nọba duuru ndị agha gaa nʼobodo Kenat, na nʼobodo nta ndị ọzọ gbara ya gburugburu, lụgbuo ha, bichie nʼime ha. Ọ gbanwere aha obodo ndị ahụ niile bido ịkpọ ha Nọba, nke bụ aha ya onwe ya.
