Joshua 22
1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Na Joshua el pangoneni mwet in sruf lal Reuben, ac sruf lal Gad, ac sruf lal Manasseh Kutulap
2 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of YHWH commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:
ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos aksafyela tari ma Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el sapkin, ac kowos akos ma nukewa nga fahk nu suwos.
3 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of YHWH your Elohim.
Ke lusen pacl sac nwe misenge kowos tiana ngetla liki mwet Israel wiowos, ac kowos akos na ma LEUM GOD lowos El sapkin nu suwos.
4 And now YHWH your Elohim hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, [and] unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of YHWH gave you on the other side Jordan.
Inge, ke LEUM GOD lowos El sang tari misla nu sin mwet wiowos inge oana ma El wulela kac, kowos folokla nu in acn suwos su oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan, ma Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sot lowos.
5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of YHWH charged you, to love YHWH your Elohim, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Tusruktu, kowos liyaung ac akos ma sap ma Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sot nu suwos, in lungse LEUM GOD lowos, in oru ma lungse lal, in akos ma sap nukewa lal, in oaru nu sel, ac in kulansupwal ke insiowos ac ngunuwos kewa.”
6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.
Ouinge Joshua el akinsewowoyalos ac supwalosla, na elos folokla nu yen selos.
7 Now to the [one] half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [possession] in Bashan: but unto the [other] half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,
Nu sin tafun sruf lal Manasseh, Moses el sang ipin acn se lalos in acn Bashan, ac nu sin tafu sruf sac Joshua el sang ipin acn se layen roto in Infacl Jordan, inmasrlon mwet Israel wialos. Ke Joshua el supwalosla nu yen selos ah, el akinsewowoyalosla meet
8 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
ac fahk, “Folokla nu yen suwos wi mwe kasrup su kowos eisla sin mwet lokoalok lowos — kosro nutuwos, silver, gold, bronze, osra, oayapa nuknuk pukanten — ac kitalik ma inge inmasrlon mwet wiowos.”
9 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of YHWH by the hand of Moses.
Na mwet in sruf lal Reuben, sruf lal Gad, ac sruf lal Manasseh Kutulap elos fahsr liki mwet Israel in acn Shiloh in Canaan, ac folokla nu Gilead, acn selos su elos eis oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses.
10 And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that [are] in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.
Ke sruf lal Reuben, sruf lal Gad, ac sruf lal Manasseh Kutulap elos tuku sun acn Geliloth, su oan apkuran nu Infacl Jordan, elos tulokunak sie loang na lulap sisken infacl ah.
11 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.
Na sulkakinyuk nu sin mwet Israel saya nukewa, “Kowos in lohng, tuh sruf lal Reuben, Gad, ac Manasseh Kutulap elos tulokunak sie loang in acn Geliloth, ke layen lasr sisken Infacl Jordan!”
12 And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
Ke mwet Israel elos lohng ma inge, elos nukewa toeni nu Shiloh, su oan roto in Infacl Jordan, tuh elos in mweuni sruf su muta layen nu kutulap.
13 And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
Na mwet Israel elos supwalla Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar mwet tol, nu sin sruf lal Reuben, Gad, ac Manasseh Kutulap in acn Gilead, lefahl kutulap in Infacl Jordan.
14 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one [was] an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel. (chief...: Heb. house of the father)
Ac elos supwala pac singoul sin mwet kol lalos welul Phinehas, kais sie ke sruf singoul ah, ac mwet inge pa sifen sou in kais sie sou lulap.
15 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,
Elos tuku sun acn Gilead nu yurin mwet lun Reuben, Gad, ac Manasseh Kutulap,
16 Thus saith the whole congregation of YHWH, What trespass [is] this that ye have committed against the Elohim of Israel, to turn away this day from following YHWH, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against YHWH?
na ke inen mwet lun LEUM GOD nukewa, elos fahk nu selos, “Efu kowos ku orek pwapa koluk ac forla liki God lun Israel? Ke kowos orala loang se inge nu suwos sifacna, kowos lain LEUM GOD!
17 [Is] the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of YHWH,
Ya kowos tia esam ma koluk lasr in acn Peor, ke LEUM GOD El akkeokye mwet lal ke mas upa? Kut srakna keok ke ma inge. Ya soenna fal orekma koluk lasr nu sin LEUM GOD?
18 But that ye must turn away this day from following YHWH? and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel to day against YHWH, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
Na mea, kowos ac forla liki LEUM GOD? Kowos fin forla liki LEUM GOD misenge, El ac fah arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel nukewa lutu.
19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession [be] unclean, [then] pass ye over unto the land of the possession of YHWH, wherein YHWH 'S tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against YHWH, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of YHWH our Elohim.
Ke ma inge, acn lowos an fin tia fal in orek alu we, fahsru nu in acn sin LEUM GOD, yen Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD oan we, ac eis kutu acn lasr uh lowos. Nimet kowos lain LEUM GOD ac oru tuh kut in wi pac lain God, ke kowos sifil musai sie pac loang sayen loang lun LEUM GOD lasr.
20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
Kowos in esamul Achan, wen natul Zerah, ke el tuh seakos ac tia kunausla ma sapkinyuk in kunausyukla, na tia el mukena pa misa ke sripen ma koluk lal ah, a mwet Israel nukewa wi pulakin keok.”
21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,
Na mwet ke sruf lal Reuben, Gad, ac Manasseh Kutulap elos topuk sifen sou lun mwet Israel su muta lefahl roto in Infacl Jordan, ac fahk,
22 YHWH El of elohim, YHWH El of elohim, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if [it be] in rebellion, or if in transgression against YHWH, (save us not this day, )
“El Su Fulatlana, LEUM GOD, El God! El Su Fulatlana, LEUM GOD, El God! El etu lah efu ku kut oru ma inge, ac kut ke kowos in etu pac! Fin ma kut oru inge lainul ac kunausla wulela lasr nu sel, lela in anwuki kut!
23 That we have built us an altar to turn from following YHWH, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let YHWH HWH himself require [it];
Ac kut fin tia akos LEUM GOD ac musai loang lasr in orek mwe kisa firir, ku mwe kisa wheat, ku mwe kisa in akinsewowo, na lela LEUM GOD Elan nununkekut kac.
24 And if we have not [rather] done it for fear of [this] thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with YHWH Elohim of Israel? (In time...: Heb. To morrow)
Mo! Kut oru ma inge mweyen kut sensen mu ac mau sie len tulik nutuwos uh ac ku in fahk nu sin tulik natusr uh, ‘Mea lomtal nu ke LEUM GOD lun Israel?
25 For YHWH hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in YHWH: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing YHWH.
God El orala tuh Infacl Jordan in srikutla liki kowos, mwet Reuben ac Gad! Wangin ip lomtal nu sin LEUM GOD!’ Na fin ouinge, tulik nutuwos an ac mau oru tulik natusr uh in tila alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
Na pa kut orala loang se, tuh tia ma nu ke mwe kisa firir ku kutena kain kisa.
27 But [that] it [may be] a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of YHWH before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in YHWH.
Tia pa ingan sripa lasr uh. Kut oru tuh in mwe akul inmasrlosr ac kowos ac oayapa fwil tokosr uh, kut in mau ku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD ye mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sel, wi kisa lasr inge ke mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Fin ouinge, na tulik nutuwos uh ac fah tia ku in fahk mu, ‘Wangin ip lowos sin LEUM GOD.’
28 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should [so] say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say [again], Behold the pattern of the altar of YHWH, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it [is] a witness between us and you.
Nunak lasr uh pa fin fahsr nwe tok tulik nutuwos elos fahk kas ouinge, na tulik natusr uh ac ku in fahk mu, ‘Liye, mwet matu lasr ah orala loang se oana loang lun LEUM GOD. Tia loang in mwe kisa firir ku kutena kain in kisa, a tuh in sie mwe akul inmasrlosr ac kowos.’
29 Far be it from us to rebel against YHWH, and turn this day from following YHWH, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of YHWH our Elohim that [is] before his tabernacle.
Wangin in nunak lasr kut in lain LEUM GOD, ku forla lukel misenge ke kut musaeak loang se nu ke mwe kisa firir, ku mwe kisa wheat, ku kutena kain in kisa. Kut tia lungse musaela kutena loang sayen loang lun LEUM GOD lasr su oan ye mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sel.”
30 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which [were] with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them. (pleased...: Heb. was good in their eyes)
Ke Phinehas mwet tol, ac mwet kol singoul ke sruf lun Israel su muta layen nu roto, elos lohng ma mwet ke sruf lun Reuben, Gad ac Manasseh Kutulap elos fahk inge, na elos insewowo kac.
31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that YHWH [is] among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against YHWH: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of YHWH. (now: Heb. then)
Na Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar mwet tol, el fahk nu selos, “Inge kut etu lah LEUM GOD El wi kut mweyen kowos tia oru kutena ma in lainul ke ma kowos oru inge. Ouinge kowos molela Israel liki kaiyuk lun LEUM GOD.”
32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
Na Phinehas wen natul Eleazar, ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel, elos som liki mwet lal Reuben ac Gad in acn Gilead, ac folokla nu Canaan nu yurin mwet Israel, ac fahkak ma inge nukewa nu selos.
33 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed Elohim, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
Mwet Israel elos insewowo ke ma elos lohng ac kaksakin God. Elos tila sramsramkin in som mweun ac kunausla acn sin mwet Reuben ac mwet Gad.
34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed]: for it [shall be] a witness between us that YHWH [is] Elohim.
Ac mwet Reuben ac mwet Gad elos fahk, “Loang se inge sie mwe loh nu sesr nukewa lah LEUM GOD El God.” Ouinge elos sang inen loang sac “Mwe Loh.”
