Numbers 32
1 Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that look, the place was a place for livestock;
Esi Israelviwo ɖo Yazer kple Gileadnyigbawo dzi la, Ruben kple Gad ƒe towo, ame siwo si alẽha gãwo le la kpɔ be anyigba la nyo ŋutɔ na lãnyinyi.
2 the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,
Eya ta wogblɔ na Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar kple toawo ƒe kplɔlawo be,
3 "Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sibmah, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Atarɔt, Dibon, Yazer, Nimra, Hesbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo kple Beon ƒe
4 the land which YHWH struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock."
anyigba siwo Yehowa xɔ le Israelviwo ŋkume la nyo na lãnyinyi, eye lãwo le wò dɔlawo si.
5 They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over the Jordan."
Ne eve mía nu la ekema míeɖe kuku tsɔ anyigba sia na mí ɖe anyigba si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ teƒe.”
6 Moses said to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here?
Mose bia wo be, “Ɖe miedi be yewoatsi afi sia ne mia nɔviwo ya natso tɔsisi la, eye woawo ɖeɖe nayi aɖawɔ aʋa kple afi ma tɔwoa?
7 Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which YHWH has given them?
Ɖe miedi be yewoaɖe dzi le Israelviwo ƒo be womagatso tɔsisi la ayi aɖaxɔ anyigba si ƒe ŋugbe Yehowa do na wo oa?
8 Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
Nu sia tɔgbi tututu mia tɔgbiwo wɔ kpɔ! Meɖo wo ɖa be woaɖatsa ŋku le Kades Barneanyigba dzi.
9 For when they went up to 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 YHWH had given them.
Esi wowu ŋkutsatsa la nu, eye wotrɔ tso Eskɔl ƒe balime gbɔ la, woɖe dzi le Israelviwo ƒo le Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi yiyi ŋu.
10 YHWH's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying,
Yehowa do dɔmedzoe gbe ma gbe, eye woka atam sia be,
11 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
‘Esi miedze yonyeme kple dzi blibo o ta la, ame siwo xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema, ame siwo tso Egipte la dometɔ ɖeka pɛ hã makpɔ anyigba si ŋugbe medo kple atam na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob o.
12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed YHWH completely.'
Wo dometɔ siwo ko ade Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzie nye Kaleb, Yefune, Kenizitɔ la ƒe viŋutsu kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu, elabena woawo dze Yehowa yome kple woƒe dzi blibo, eye wode dzi ƒo na ameawo be woayi Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi.’
13 YHWH's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of YHWH, was consumed.
Yehowa na míetsa tsaglalã le gbedzi ƒe blaene va se ɖe esime dzidzime vɔ̃ɖi ma tsrɔ̃ keŋkeŋ.
14 "Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of YHWH toward Israel.
“Ke miawo hã, mi vɔ̃ wɔlawo ƒe dzidzimeviwo, miegale nu ma tututu wɔm! Miawo miesɔ gbɔ wu woawo, eya ta Yehowa ƒe dziku ɖe miawo ŋu nu asẽ ɖe miawo dzi fifia wu ɖe woawo dzi.
15 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people."
Ne mietrɔ ɖa tso Mawu gbɔ alea la, ana ameawo naganɔ gbea dzi ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe wu, eye miahe ku vɛ na ameawo kple dzɔgbevɔ̃e va dukɔ blibo la dzi!”
16 They came near to him, and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones:
Woɖo eŋu be, “Míawɔ nenema o, ke boŋ míatu lãkpowo na míaƒe lãwo, eye míatso duwo na mía viwo ɖe afi sia.
17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
Míawo ŋutɔ míabla akpa, adze ŋgɔ na Israelvi bubuawo va se ɖe esime míakplɔ wo, woƒe asi naka woƒe domenyinu la dedie. Ke ele be míatso duwo, aɖo gli aƒo xlã wo na mía srɔ̃wo kple mía viwo gbã, ale be afi sia tɔwo maho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu o.
18 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Míatsi afi sia o, va se ɖe esime Israelviwo katã ƒe asi asu woƒe domenyinu la dzi.
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."
Míedi anyigba si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ o; míedi esi le tɔsisi la ƒe akpa sia, le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.”
20 Moses said to them, "If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before YHWH to the war,
Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Enyo; ne miawɔ ɖe nya si miegblɔ dzi, abla akpa hena aʋawɔwɔ na Yehowa,
21 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before YHWH, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
eye miana miaƒe aʋawɔlawo nanɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ va se ɖe esime Yehowa nanya eƒe futɔwo ɖa la,
22 and the land is subdued before YHWH; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards YHWH, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before YHWH.
ekema ne míeɖu futɔwo dzi mlɔeba le Yehowa ŋkume la, miatrɔ ava afi sia, elabena miawu miaƒe dɔdeasiwo nu na Yehowa kple Israelvi bubuawo katã. Ekema anyigba si le tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la azu mia tɔ tso Yehowa gbɔ.
23 "But if you will not do so, look, you have sinned against YHWH; and be sure your sin will find you out.
“Ke ne miawɔ ɖe nya si miegblɔ dzi o la, ekema miawɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa ŋu. Minya be miaƒe nu vɔ̃ ƒe tohehe ava mia dzi kokoko.
24 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."
Mitso duwo na mia srɔ̃wo kple mia viwo, mitu lãkpowo na miaƒe lãwo, eye miwɔ nu siwo katã miegblɔ be yewoawɔ.”
25 The people of Gad and the people of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do as my lord commands.
Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo gblɔ be, “Míawɔ nu siwo katã nàɖo na mí be míawɔ la tututu.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
Mía viwo kple mía srɔ̃wo, míaƒe alẽwo kple nyiwo anɔ afi sia le Gilead du la me.
27 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before YHWH to battle, as my lord says."
Ke mí aʋawɔlawo katã ya la, míatso tɔsisi la ayi aɖawɔ aʋa na Yehowa abe ale si míaƒe aƒetɔ gblɔ ene.”
28 So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.
Mose lɔ̃ ɖe edzi, eye wògblɔ na nunɔla Eleazar kple Yosua kple Israelviwo ƒe towo ƒe kplɔlawo be,
29 Moses said to them, "If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before YHWH, and the land is subdued before you; then you are to give them the land of Gilead for a possession.
“Ne ame siwo wotia tso Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo dome be woayi aɖawɔ aʋa na Yehowa dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la kple mi la, ekema ne miexɔ anyigba la le futɔwo si la, miatsɔ Gileadnyigba ana wo.
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed to battle before YHWH, then you are to bring over their children and their wives and their flocks before you into the land of Canaan, and they are to have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."
Ke ne wogbe la, ekema woaxɔ anyigba le Kanaanyigba la dzi, le mi ame bubuawo dome.”
31 The people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, saying, "As YHWH has said to your servants, so will we do.
Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo gagblɔ be, “Míawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo dzi.
32 We will pass over armed before YHWH into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan."
Míabla akpa nyuie adze Yehowa yome ayi Kanaan, ke míawo ya ƒe anyigba anɔ Yɔdan ƒe akpa sia.”
33 Moses gave to them, even to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, and to 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 its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.
Ale Mose tsɔ Amoritɔwo ƒe fia, Sixɔn kple Basantɔwo ƒe fia, Ɔg, ƒe anyigbawo kple duwo katã na Gad kple Ruben ƒe dzidzimeviwo kple Manase, Yosef ƒe viŋutsu ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe afã.
34 The people of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Du siwo Gad ƒe viwo tso la woe nye: Dibon, Atarɔt kple Aroer,
35 and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,

36 and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep.
Bet Nimra kple Bet Haran. Woɖo gli ƒo xlã du siawo katã, eye lãkpowo nɔ wo me.
37 The people of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
Du siwo Ruben ƒe viwo tso la woe nye: Hesbon, Eleale kple Kiriataim,
38 and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built.
Nebo, Baal Meon kple Sibma. Emegbe la, Israelviwo trɔ ŋkɔ na du siawo dometɔ siwo woxɔ hegbugbɔ tu la.
39 The descendants of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.
Manase ƒe viŋutsu, Makir yi Gileadnyigba dzi, nya Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ afi ma la ɖa, eye wòxɔe.
40 Moses gave Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh; and he lived in it.
Ale Mose tsɔ Gileadnyigba na Manase ƒe vi Makir eye wonɔ afi ma.
41 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns, and called them Havvoth Jair.
