Joshua 22

1 Joshua then summoned the leaders of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.

Anante Rubeni naga'ma Gati naga'ma, amu'nompinti refko hu'naza Manase nagara Josua'a kehige'za eme eri tru hazageno,

2 He said to them, “You have done everything that Moses, who served Yahweh [well], told you to do. You have also done what I told you to do.

amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma hihoma huno'ma huramante'nea zana ana maka hago huvagare'naze. Ana nehutma nagrama hihoma hu'na huankea ana maka amage ante'naze.

3 For a long time you have helped the other tribes [to defeat their enemies]. You have obeyed everything that Yahweh your God commanded you to do.

Hanki korapa knareti eno menima ama knare'ma egetma, tamagra tamafuhe'ina zamatreta ofretma, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma e'ina hugahaze huno'ma tami'nea eri'zana ana maka erivagare'naze.

4 He promised to give peace to us Israelis, and he has done what he promised. So now you may go back to your homes, to the land that Moses gave to you, on the east side of the Jordan [River].

Hanki menina Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo huvempama hu'nea ke'a amage anteno tamafuhe'ina manigsa zami'ne. E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma tami'nea mopa zage hanati kaziga Jodani timofo kantu kaziga nonkumatamima mane'nea mopare vugahaze.

5 Moses also commanded you to love Yahweh your God and to obey his commands, and to continue to worship him and serve him by everything that you think and everything that you do.”

Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma tami'nea kasegene tra kenena kegava huso'e hu'netma amage anteho. Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avesinenteta, Agri avu'ava nevaririta, kasege'a amage nenteta, Agrane tragoteta mani'neta, maka tamagu tamenteti hutma Agri eri'zana erinteho.

6 Then Joshua blessed them and said goodbye to them, and they [prepared to] leave and return to their homes [on the east side of the Jordan River].

Anante Josua'a asomu ke huzamanteteno huzmantege'za seli nonkuma zamirega vu'naze.

7 Moses had given the Bashan region to half the tribe of Manasseh, and land on the west side of the Jordan [River] to the other half of the tribe. Before they left, he [asked God to] bless them.

Hanki amu'nompinti'ma refkoma haza ruga'a Manase nagara Mosese'a Basani kazigati mago mopa ko zami'ne. Hanki Manase naga'ma amu'nompinti'ma refkoma hu'naza nagara Israeli vahe'mo'za'ma Jodani timofo zage fre kaziga mopama erinafinti Josua'a mopa zami'ne. Anama huteno'a Josua'a asomu ke huzamanteteno huzamantege'za seli nonkuma zamirega nevzageno,

8 He said, “Go back to your homes and to all the things that you have taken from your enemies—the many animals and silver and gold and [things made of] bronze and iron, and many beautiful clothes. But you should share some of those things with other people of your tribe.”

amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra rama'a feno zantamine bulimakao afu kevutamima, silvama, golima, bronsima, aenine, rama'a knare kukenanema, ha'ma hu zamagatereta eri'naza zantamina erita menina seli nonkuma tamirega vuta tamafuhe'zanena ome refko huta eriho.

9 So the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh left the other Israelis at Shiloh in Canaan land, to return to their homes in the Gilead region. That was the area that belonged to them. It had been allotted to them by Moses as Yahweh had commanded.

Ana hutege'za, Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'mo'za Israeli vahera Kenani kaziga Sailo kumate zamatre'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosese asami'nea kante ante'za eri'naza moparega Gileati vu'naze.

10 The people from those three tribes arrived near the western side of the Jordan River, at a town called Geliloth. There they built a large altar. [Then they crossed the Jordan River to the Gilead region].

Hanki Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'mo'zama Kenani Mopa atre'za Jodani ti tava'onte Geliloti ete'za, anante tusi'a kresramna vu ita tro hu'naze.

11 But the other Israelis who were still at Shiloh heard about the altar that those men had built.

Hagi anama hazazana mago'a vahe'mo'za kete'za vu'za Israeli vahe'mokizmia ome zmasami'za, Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'mo'za vu'za Kenani mopama ome atretega Gelilotia, Jodani timofo tavaonte tagri mopa kaziga, Kresramana vu ita ome tro hu'naze hazage'za,

12 They became very angry with the men of those tribes, so they decided to fight them.

ana zamofo nanekema nentahi'za ana maka Israeli vahe'mo'za oti'za ha' huzmante'naku Sailo kumate eri tru hu'za trotra hu'naze.

13 The Israelis sent Phinehas, who was the son of Eleazar the Supreme Priest, to [talk with] the people of those three tribes.

Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za pristi ne' Eleazar nemofo Fineasina huntazageno, Rubenima, Gatima, amu'nompinti'ma refko hu'za vu'naza Manase naga'ma Gileatima mani'narega vu'ne.

14 They also sent one leader from each of the ten tribes that were still at Shiloh. Each of them was a leader of his clan.

Hanki Finiasi'enena 10ni'a vugagota kva vahetamine huzmantazage'za vu'naze. Ana vahera tauseni'a Israeli vahepima mago'mago naga'nofi'ma mani'nafintira vugagota hu'naza vahe'age, mago'mago huhamprintetere hazage'za vu'naze.

15 Those leaders went to the Gilead region to talk to the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh. They said,

Hanki Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'ma hu'za Gileati kumate'ma mani'nare e'za amanage hu'za eme zamasmi'naze,

16 “All the other Israelis are asking, ‘Why have you rebelled against the God whom we Israelis [worship] by building an altar for yourselves?

ana maka Ra Anumzamofo kevu naga'mo'za amanage hu'za hu'naze. Na'ahigeta amanahu tamavu tamavara huta Ra Anumzamofona antahi omi'naze. Na'ahigeta Ra Anumzamofona tamefira humita ke'a rutagreta menina ama kresramna vu ita Ra Anumzamofoma ha'marente'zana tamagra tro hu'naze.

17 Have you forgotten what happened at Peor, [when some Israelis sinned by worshiping the god that the Moab people-group worship]? Many Israelis became very sick and died because of that sin, and we are still suffering because of their sin.

Kora Peori kumate'ma, mani'neta kumi hunkeno Ra Anumzamo'a mago kri atregeno vahe'a eme zamazeri haviza hu'neane, hagi meninena ana kumimo'a tatreno ovu'ne. Tamagrama antahi'zana ana hazenke zamo'a knare hu'nefi, ana hu'negeta mago'ene ru hazenkea nehazo?

18 Are you now turning away from obeying Yahweh and refusing to do what he wants? If you do not stop rebelling against Yahweh today, he will be angry with all of us Israelis tomorrow.’

Hagi menina Ra Anumzamofona tamamefira hunemize, menima Ra Anumzamofoma Agri kema ontahita ha'ma rentesageno'a, okina Agra ana maka Israeli vahe'mota rimpa aherantegahie.

19 “If [you think that Yahweh considers] that your land here is not suitable for worshiping him, come back to our land where Yahweh’s Sacred Tent is. We can share our land with you. But do not rebel against Yahweh and against us by building another altar for Yahweh our God.

Hagi mopa tamimo'ma Anumzamofo avure'ma havizama hu'ne hutama hanuta, tamagra eta tagri mopafima Ra Anumzamofo seli mono noma me'nere, Agri mopa fatgofi tagrane emaniho. Hanki tamagra na'a hu'negeta Ra Anumzamofona ke'a antahi nomita tagrira tatreta vuta, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo Kresramana vu itama ko'ma me'neana atreta, ru kresramna vu ita tro nehaze.

20 Do you remember what happened when Zerah’s son Achan refused to obey [Yahweh’s command to destroy everything in Jericho]? That one man disobeyed God’s command, but many [HYP] other Israelis were punished. Achan died because of his sin, but other Israelis also died.”

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma i'o hu'nea zantamima, Zera nemofo Akani'ma Jeriko rankumapinti'ma Ra Anumzamofo ke'ma ru tagreno'ma eri'nea kumi'amofo kna'a agrakera ofri'neanki mago'a nema agri kumimofo kna'ama eri'za fri'naza zana tamagera okaniho.

21 The [leaders of the] tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh replied,

Anante Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a amu'nompinti refkoma hu'naza Manase naga'mo'za oti'za Israeli vahepima nagate nofite'ma ugagota hu'naza vahera amanage hu'za zamasmi'naze,

22 “Yahweh, the Almighty God, knows [why we did that], and we want you to know, too. If we have done something wrong [against Yahweh], you may kill us.

hankavenentake Anumzana Ra Anumzana Agrake mani'ne, magoke hankavenentake hu'nea Ra Anumzamo Agra antahi'ne, hu'negu Israeli vahe'motanena antahiho, tagrama Ra Anumzamofo kema rutagrege, Agri kasegema ovariri nesunketa menina oratreta tahe friho.

23 If we have disobeyed one of Yahweh’s laws, we request that he should punish us. We did not build that new altar to completely burn animals as sacrifices to Yahweh, or to offer on it sacrifices of grain or sacrifices to maintain fellowship with God.

Hanki tagrama Ra Anumzamofoma tamefi humi kazigati'ma kresramna vu ofama huge, witi ofa huge, mago tarimpa hu ofama hu kresramna vu itama tro'ma hu'nesunkeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a tagrira tazeri haviza hugahie.

24 “This is the reason that we built that altar: We were afraid/worried that some day your descendants would say that our descendants are not true Israelis. We were afraid that then they would say, ‘You are not allowed to worship Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].

Hianagi tagrama ana itama tro'ma hu'nonana, henkama tamagri tamagehe'za, tagri tageheinku hu'za, tagri Ra Anumzantera monora huontege, amagera ontegahazema hu'za hu'zanku koro huta tro hu'none.

25 Yahweh caused the Jordan River to be a boundary between us and you people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad. So you are not allowed to worship Yahweh.’ We were worried that your descendants would force our descendants to stop worshiping Yahweh.

Hanki tagri'ene, tamagri'ene amu'nompina Ra Anumzamo Jodani tinte mopamofo agema'a ante'neankita, tamagra Rubeni naga'ene Gati nagara tagri naga omani'naze nehu'za, Anumzana tamagri Anumza omani'neankita monora huonteho hu'za hu'zanku koro huta ana ita tro hu'none.

26 “That is the reason that we decided to build that [new] altar. But it is not an altar for completely burning sacrifices of animals and [burning other] sacrifices.

E'ina agafare amanage hu'none, kresramna vu itama tro'ma hu'nonana tevefima kresramna vu ofa hu ito, mago'a zama kresramna vu ofa hu ita trora osu'none.

27 We built that new altar to prove/show to you and to us and to all of our descendants that we worship Yahweh by completely burning animal sacrifices and offerings of grain and offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh [only at the place Yahweh chooses]. We do not want your descendants to say to our descendants, ‘You do not belong to Yahweh.’

Hagi tamagri'ene tagri'enena ama anazamo'a mago avame'za mane'neno, tagehezama henkama fore'ma hanaza vahera zamaveri huno, tagranena Ra Anumzana Agriteke monora hunentone hugahaze.

Ru ete henka tamagri tamagehe'za tagri tagehe'inku hu'za tamagra Ra Anumzamofo vahe omani'naze huzanku anara hu'none.

28 “In the future, if your descendants say that, our descendants can say, ‘Look at the altar that our ancestors made! It is exactly like Yahweh’s altar [that our ancestors built], but we do not burn sacrifices on it. It only shows that we are Israelis!’

E'ina hu'negu tagra amanage huta hu'none, tamagrama amanahu kema tagritero, tagehe'inte'ma hanageta amanage huta zamasmigahune huta hu'none, Ra Anumzamofo kresramna vu itama tafahezama tro hazageno me'neana keho, mago kresramna vu ofa huge, ruzahu ruzahu ofa hu ita trora osu'nonanki tamagri'ene tagri'ene amu'nompina, ama ana itamo'a mago avame'za me'ne huta hugahune.

29 We certainly do not want to rebel against Yahweh or stop doing what he desires, by building an altar for completely burning some sacrifices and burning grain offerings and making [other] sacrifices. [We know that] there is only one true altar for Yahweh our God, and it is in front of the Sacred Tent [at Shiloh].”

Tagrama ama ana itama tro'ma hu'nonana, tevefi kre fanane hu ofa huge, witi ofa huge, ruzahu ruzahu ofama hu ita trora osu'none. Tagra e'inama hanuta, Ra Anumzamofona tamefi humita ke'a rutagregahune. Hagi Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo itama seli mono nomofo avugama me'nea kresramna vu itamofo noma eri'nigure huta trora huonte'none.

30 When Phinehas the priest and the other [ten] leaders heard what they said, they were pleased.

Hanki pristi ne' Fineasi'ene Israeli vahepima mago mago naga nofite'ma ugagota hutere hu'naza vahe'mo'za, Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, Manase naga'mo'zama hazankema nentahi'za, zamagra zamarimpa fru nehu'za muse hu'naze.

31 So Phinehas said to them, “Now we know that Yahweh is with all of us Israelis, and that you were not rebelling against him [when you built that altar]. And we know that Yahweh will not punish us Israelis [because of your having done that].”

Hanki anante pristi ne' Eleazari nemofo Finiasi'a, Rubenima, Gatine, Manase nagara amanage huno zamasami'ne, menina tagrama keama'ma hunana Ra Anumzamo'a tagrane mani'ne. Na'ankure tamagra Ra Anumzamofo ke'a tamefira huonte'naze, e'inama hazana maka Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzamofo azampintira tagu'vazize.

32 Then Phinehas and the Israeli leaders left the people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad in the Gilead region, and returned to Canaan. There they told the other Israelis what had happened.

Ana keagama hute'za pristi ne' Eleaza nemofo Finiasi'ene Israeli nagapi nagate nofite ugagota hu'naza kva vahe'mo'za ete Kenani e'za Rubenine, Gati, naga'enema keagama hu'naza zamofo agenkea Israeli vahera Gileati kumate mani'nage'za eme zamisami'naze.

33 They were pleased, and they thanked God. And they did not talk any more about fighting against the people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad and destroying everything in their land.

34 The people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad named their new altar ‘A reminder to us all that Yahweh is God’.
