< 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;
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a mĩhĩrĩga ya Rubeni na Gadi, arĩa maarĩ na ndũũru nene cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri, nĩmoonire atĩ mabũrũri ma Jazeri na Gileadi maarĩ mega na mahiũ mao.
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,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, o na kũrĩ atongoria a kĩrĩndĩ, makiuga atĩrĩ,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Atarothu, na Diboni, na Jazeri, na Nimura, na Heshiboni, na Eleale, na Sebamu, na Nebo, o na Beoni,
4 Even the country which the LORD stroke before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have cattle:
bũrũri ũyũ Jehova aatooririe andũ akuo mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli, nĩ kũndũ kwega kwa mahiũ, na ithuĩ ndungata ciaku tũrĩ na mahiũ.”
5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in your sight, let this land be given unto your servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩtwĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte harĩ inyuĩ-rĩ, rekei bũrũri ũyũ ũheo ndungata cianyu ũtuĩke witũ. Mũtigatũme tũringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.”
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall all of you sit here?
Musa akĩũria andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni atĩrĩ, “Andũ anyu no mathiĩ ita-inĩ mamũtige mũikarĩte gũkũ?
7 And wherefore discourage all of you the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũũrage ngoro cia andũ a Isiraeli nĩguo matikaringe rũũĩ matoonye bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova amaheete?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
Ũguo noguo maithe manyu meekire hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaamarekirie kuuma Kadeshi-Barinea mathiĩ magathigaane bũrũri ũcio.
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.
Thuutha wa kwambata, magĩkinya kĩanda kĩa Eshikoli na makĩĩrorera bũrũri ũcio-rĩ, nĩmatũmire andũ a Isiraeli makue ngoro makĩaga gũtoonya bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova amaheete.
10 And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
Jehova agĩcinwo nĩ marakara mũthenya ũcio, akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ:
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:
‘Nĩ ũndũ nĩmagĩte kũnũmĩrĩra na ngoro ciao kũna, hatirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria wa arĩa moimire bũrũri wa Misiri ũkoona bũrũri ũrĩa nderĩire Iburahĩmu na Isaaka, o na Jakubu na mwĩhĩtwa,
12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
gũtirĩ o na ũmwe tiga Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, ũrĩa Mũkenizi, na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, nĩ ũndũ nĩmarũmĩrĩire Jehova na ngoro ciao kũna.’
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.
Jehova agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli, nake agĩtũma morũũre werũ-inĩ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, o nginya rĩrĩa rũciaro rũu ruothe rwehĩtie maitho-inĩ make rwathirire.
14 And, behold, all of you are risen up in your fathers' position, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
“Na rĩrĩ, mũrĩ haha inyuĩ, inyuĩ rũciaro rũrũ rwa ehia, mũcookete ithenya rĩa maithe manyu nĩguo mũtũme Jehova akĩrĩrĩrie kũrakarĩra Isiraeli.
15 For if all of you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and all of you shall destroy all this people.
Mũngĩgarũrũka mũtige kũmũrũmĩrĩra-rĩ, nake Jehova nĩegũtiganĩria andũ aya othe gũkũ werũ-inĩ rĩngĩ, na inyuĩ mũtuĩke gĩtũmi gĩa kũmaniinithia.”
16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
Nao magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Musa makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũkwenda gwakĩra ũhiũ witũ ciugũ gũkũ, na twakĩre andũ-a-nja aitũ na ciana matũũra manene.
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.
No rĩrĩ, nĩtwĩhaarĩirie kuoya indo ciitũ cia mbaara na tũthiĩ mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli nginya tũmakinyie kwao. Hĩndĩ ĩyo, andũ-a-nja aitũ na ciana maikarage matũũra manene mairigĩre na hinya, nĩgeetha magitĩrwo kuuma kũrĩ atũũri a bũrũri ũyũ.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Tũtigacooka mĩciĩ iitũ o nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũisiraeli o wothe akaamũkĩra igai rĩake.
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.
Ithuĩ tũtikaamũkĩra igai hamwe nao mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Jorodani, nĩ ũndũ igai riitũ tũrĩ narĩo mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.”
20 And Moses said unto them, If all of you will do this thing, if all of you will go armed before the LORD to war,
Nake Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩĩka ũguo-rĩ, na mwĩohe indo cianyu cia mbaara mbere ya Jehova nĩguo mũkarũe,
21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
na inyuothe mũngĩthiĩ mwĩohete indo cia mbaara, mũringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova o nginya rĩrĩa akaingata thũ ciake ciume mbere yake,
22 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward all of you shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
hĩndĩ ĩrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũgaakorwo ũtooretio mbere ya Jehova, hĩndĩ ĩyo no mũcooke mĩciĩ yanyu na muohorwo kuuma kĩĩranĩro kĩanyu kũrĩ Jehova o na kũrĩ Isiraeli. Naguo bũrũri ũyũ nĩũgatuĩka wanyu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
23 But if all of you will not do so, behold, all of you have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
“No mũngĩkaaga gwĩka ũguo, nĩmũkehĩria Jehova; na mũmenye na ma atĩ mehia manyu nĩmakamũcookerera.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.
Akĩrai andũ-a-nja anyu na ciana matũũra manene na ciugũ cia ndũũru cianyu, no hingiai ũguo mweranĩra.”
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying, Your servants will do as my lord commands.
Andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ ndungata ciaku nĩtũgwĩka o ta ũguo mwathi witũ aathana.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
Ciana ciitũ na atumia aitũ megũikara gũkũ matũũra-inĩ manene ma Gileadi, ũndũ ũmwe na ndũũru ciitũ cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe.
27 But your servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says.
No ithuĩ ndungata ciaku-rĩ, o mũndũ eyohete indo ciake cia mbaara, nĩtũkũringa mũrĩmo ũũrĩa tũkarũe tũrĩ mbere ya Jehova, o ta ũguo mwathi witũ oiga.”
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:
Nake Musa akĩruta watho nĩ ũndũ wao, akĩarĩria Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na atongoria a nyũmba cia mĩhĩrĩga ya andũ a Isiraeli,
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 all of you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni nĩmekũringa Jorodani, o mũndũ wao eyohete indo cia mbaara, marĩ hamwe na inyuĩ marĩ mbere ya Jehova-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũgatoorio mbere yanyu, nĩmũkamahe bũrũri wa Gileadi ũtuĩke wao.
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
No mangĩaga kũringa hamwe na inyuĩ meeohete indo ciao cia mbaara, no nginya metĩkĩre igai rĩao hamwe na inyuĩ bũrũri wa Kaanani.”
31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD has said unto your servants, so will we do.
Andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ciaku nĩ igwĩka o ta ũguo Jehova oigĩte.
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.
Nĩtũkũringa tũrĩ mbere ya Jehova tũtoonye bũrũri wa Kaanani twĩohete indo cia mbaara, no kũndũ kũrĩa ithuĩ tũkaagaya-rĩ, gũgaakorwo kũrĩ mbarĩ ĩno ya Jorodani.”
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.
Musa akĩhe andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu, bũrũri ũrĩa wothe wathamakagwo nĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, na ũrĩa wothe wathamakagwo nĩ Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, akĩmahe bũrũri ũcio wothe, na matũũra manene makuo o na ngʼongo iria ciamarigiicĩirie.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Andũ a Gadi nĩmakire Diboni, na Atarothu, na Aroeri,
35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
na Atarothu-Shofani, na Jazeri, na Jogibeha,
36 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
na Bethi-Nimira, na Bethi-Harani, maarĩ matũũra manene mairigĩre na hinya na magĩakĩra ndũũru ciao cia mbũri ciugũ.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
Nao andũ a Rubeni magĩaka Heshiboni, na Eleale, na Kiriathaimu rĩngĩ,
38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed, ) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they built.
o ũndũ ũmwe na Nebo na Baali-Meoni (marĩĩtwa macio nĩmagarũrirwo) na Sibima. Nao makĩhe matũũra macio manene maakire marĩĩtwa mangĩ.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
Nacio njiaro cia Makiru mũrũ wa Manase igĩthiĩ Gileadi, magĩkwĩnyiitĩra na makĩingata Aamori arĩa maarĩ kuo.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩheana Gileadi kũrĩ andũ a Makiru, acio njiaro cia Manase, nao magĩtũũra kuo.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.
Na rĩrĩ, Jairu wa rũciaro rwa Manase, akĩĩnyiitĩra tũtũũra twa Gileadi na agĩtwĩta Havothu-Jairu.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nake Noba akĩĩnyiitĩra Kenathu, na tũtũũra tũrĩa twagũthiũrũrũkĩirie agĩtwĩta Noba, o ta ũrĩa we eetagwo.
