< 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;
Arulana pus cow nutin sruf lal Reuben ac Gad. Na ke elos liye lah wo acn Jazer ac Gilead nu ke tohf cow
2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
elos utyak nu yorol Moses, Eleazar, ac mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel ac fahk,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Acn Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sibmah, Nebo, ac Beon
4 Even the country which the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
LEUM GOD El tuh kasrekut eisla. Acn inge wona nu ke tohf kosro, ac arulana pus kosro natusr uh.
5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
Nunak munas ase acn inge in ma lasr, ac tia sap kut in alukela Infacl Jordan in muta layen roto.”
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
Tusruktu Moses el topuk ac fahk, “Ya ma liwos ac som mweun, a kowos ac mutana inge?
7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath given them?
Efu kowos ku srike in akmunasye nunkun mwet Israel tuh elos in tia lungse fahsr aliki Infacl Jordan nu in facl se su LEUM GOD El sang nu selos?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
Pa ingan ma papa tomowos ah tuh oru ke nga supwalosla liki Kadesh Barnea in kalngeyuk nu in acn sac.
9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the Lord had given them.
Elos som nwe sun Infahlfal Eshcol ac liye facl sac, tusruktu ke elos foloko, elos akmunasye mwet uh in tia utyak nu in facl se su LEUM GOD El sang nu selos.
10 And the Lord’s anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
LEUM GOD El tuh kasrkusrakak ke len sac, ac orala wulela se inge:
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
‘Nga fulahk lah, mweyen elos tia inse pwayena nu sik, wangin sie sin mwet su matwa yac longoulyak su illa liki acn Egypt fah utyak nu in facl se su nga wuleang kac nu sel Abraham, Isaac ac Jacob.’
12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the Lord.
Kas inge ma nu sin mwet nukewa, sayal Caleb wen natul Jephunneh mwet Ken, ac Joshua wen natul Nun. Eltal mukena inse pwayena nu sin LEUM GOD.
13 And the Lord’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the Lord, was consumed.
LEUM GOD El kasrkusrakak sin mwet uh ac oru elos in forfor yen mwesis ke yac angngaul, nwe ke na fwil nufon se ma oru ma koluk ye mutal ah misa.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel.
Ac inge kowos sie fwil sasu su aolla papa matu tomowos in oru ma koluk, ac akyokye kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD nu fin Israel.
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
Mwet Reuben ac Gad, kowos fin forla lukel inge, El ac sifilpa fahsr liki mwet inge nukewa yen mwesis uh, na mwatan ma koluk ma ac sikyak inge ac fah oan fowos.”
16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
Na elos kalukyang nu yorol Moses ac fahk, “Kut siyuk tuh kut in etoak kutu kalkal eot nu ke sheep natusr uh, ac musai kutu siti ke pot ku nu sin sou lasr uh.
17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
Na kut ac fah akola in wi mwet Israel wiasr som nu ke mweun, ac kut fah fahsr meet in kololos nwe ke kut oakelosi fin acn su ac fah ma lalos. In pacl ingan, sou lasr uh fah muta inge in siti kalkalyak ke pot ku, ac tia sensen ke mwet in facl se inge.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Kut fah tia foloko nu yen sesr nwe ke mwet Israel nukewa elos oakwuki in acn ma itukyang nu selos.
19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
Kut fah tia eis kutena acn sesr layen roto in Infacl Jordan, mweyen kut eis tari ip lasr inge layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan.”
20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the Lord to war,
Moses el topuk, “Fin pwayena ma kowos fahk, na inge ye mutun LEUM GOD, kowos akola in som nu ke mweun.
21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the Lord, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
Mwet mweun lowos nukewa in fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan, na ye koko lun LEUM GOD elos in mweun lain mwet lokoalok lasr nwe ke LEUM GOD El kutangulosla
22 And the land be subdued before the Lord: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the Lord.
ac eis acn sac. Toko kowos ac ku in foloko, mweyen kowos akfalyela tari ma kunowos nu sin LEUM GOD ac nu sin mwet Israel wiowos. Na LEUM GOD El fah akkalemye lah acn se inge kutulap in Infacl Jordan ma lowos.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.
Tusruktu kowos fin tia oru oana ma kowos wulela inge, nga akkalemye nu suwos lah kowos orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD. Kowos in arulana etu lah ac fah kaiyuk kowos ke ma koluk lowos.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
Ke ma inge, musai siti nu sin sou lowos ac kalkal nu ke sheep ac nani nutuwos an, tusruktu kowos in oru na ma kowos wulela kac!”
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
Na mukul ke sruf lal Gad ac Reuben elos fahk, “Moses, kut ac oru oana kom sapkin.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
Mutan kiasr, tulik natusr, cow natusr, ac sheep natusr fah mutana inge ke siti in acn Gilead.
27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.
A kut nukewa ac akola in som nu ke mweun ye kolyuk lun LEUM GOD. Kut ac fahla alukela Infacl Jordan ac mweun, oana ke kom fahk.”
28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
Ouinge Moses el sang ma sap inge nu sel Eleazar, Joshua, ac mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel:
29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man 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:
“Mukul ke sruf lun Gad ac Reuben fin fahsr aliki Infacl Jordan ac akola nu ke mweun ke sap lun LEUM GOD, ac kowos fin eisla acn sac ke sripen kasru lalos, na kowos fah sang nu selos acn Gilead tuh in ma lalos.
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
Tusruktu elos fin tia fahla alukela Infacl Jordan ac wi kowos mweun, elos ac fah eis na acn selos inmasrlowos fin acn Canaan.”
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.
Mukul ke sruf lun Gad ac Reuben elos topuk, “Kut ac oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
32 We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.
Ye kolyuk lal, kut fah fahla aliki nu in facl Canaan ac mweun, tuh acn inge kutulap in Infacl Jordan in ma lasr.”
33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto 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, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.
Ouinge Moses el oakiya acn nukewa ke facl sel Tokosra Sihon lun acn Amor, ac facl sel Tokosra Og lun acn Bashan, weang siti srisrik ac acn nukewa ma raunela, tuh in ma lun sruf lun Gad ac Reuben ac tafu sruf lal Manasseh.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Sruf lun Gad sifil musaela pot ku in siti Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
Atroth, Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
Beth Nimrah, ac Beth Haran.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
Sruf lun Reuben sifil musaela Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
Nebo, Baal Meon (ayaolla inen acn se inge), ac Sibmah. Elos sang ine sasu nu ke siti ma elos sifil musaela.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
Sou lulap lal Machir, wen natul Manasseh, mweun ac eisla acn Gilead, ac elos lusla mwet Amor su muta we.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
Ke ma inge Moses el sang acn Gilead nu sin sou lal Machir, ac elos muta we.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth-jair.
Jair, ke sruf lal Manasseh, el mweun ac sruokya kutu siti srisrik we, ac sang ine sasu se inge nu kac: “Siti Srisrik lun Jair.”
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nobah el mweun ac sruokya acn Kenath ac siti srisrik raunela, ac sang inel sifacna nu ke acn inge: Nobah.
