Numbers 32
1 The people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad had much livestock. They saw that the land near Jazer [city] and the Gilead [region east of the Jordan River] had good [grass] for the animals [to graze on].
Liubene fi amola Ga: de fi ilia ohe fofoi da bagohamedafa. Ilia da Ya: isa amola Gilia: de soge da ohe fofomu noga: idafa ba: beba: le,
2 So their leaders came to Eleazar and the other leaders of the people and Moses/me. They said,
ilia da Mousese, Elia: isa amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilima asili, amane sia: i,
3 “We have a great amount of livestock.
“Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da amo soge (moilai A: dalode, Daibone, Ya: isa, Nimila, Hesiabone, Ilia: ile, Sibima, Nibou amola Bione) amo huluane fedelai dagoi. Amola ninia ba: loba amo soge da ohe fofomu noga: idafa ba: sa.
4 Yahweh has enabled us Israelis to capture some land that is very good for animals [to graze on]—the land near Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon [towns].
5 If it pleases you, we would like this land to be ours, instead of land on the other side of the Jordan River.”
Amaiba: le, ninia dilima edegesa. Ninia gaguli fima: ne, amo soge ninima ima. Nini da Yodane Hano degele, na: iyadodili amo lale fima: ne mae sia: ma.”
6 Moses/I replied to the leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben, “It is not right for [RHQ] your fellow Israelis to go to fight in wars and you stay here!
Mousese da bu adole i, “Dilia fidafa Isala: ili dunu da gegena ahoasea, dilia da guiguda: esalumu da defeala: ?
7 [If you do that], you will cause the other Israelis to be discouraged, with the result that they will not cross [the Jordan River] to the land that Yahweh is giving to them [RHQ].
Isala: ili dunu da Yodane Hano degele, soge amo Hina Gode da ilima ilegele i, amo ganodini fimu. Dilia da abuliba: le ili dogoa da: i dioma: ne sia: sala: ?
8 Your ancestors did the same kind of thing. I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to see what the land [of Canaan] was like.
Dilia musa: ada ilia agoane hamoi. Na da Ga: idesie Bania amogawi ili Ga: ina: ne soge hogoma: ne, asunasi.
9 They went as far as Eshcol Valley, but when they saw [the huge people in] the land, [they returned and] caused the Israeli people to be discouraged, saying ‘We should not try to enter the land that Yahweh said that he is giving to us.’
Ilia da asili, soge hogolalu, Esiegole Fago amoga doaga: i. Be ilia da buhagili, Isala: ili dunu da soge amo Hina Gode da ilima i, amo ganodini mae masa: ne, ilia dogo ganodini da: i dioma: ne egane sia: i.
10 So Yahweh became very angry with them, and he solemnly declared this:
Amo esoga, Hina Gode da ougi ba: i. E da amane ilegele sia: i,
11 ‘From all the people who came out of Egypt, the only ones who are at least 20 years old who will see the land that I promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua, because they trusted me completely. None of the other people who came out of Egypt will even see that land, because they have not completely believed in my [power].’
‘Na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa. Dunu huluane amo da Idibidi sogega misi amola lalelegesu ode 20 fisiagai amola amo ode idi baligili esala, ilia da soge amo Na da A: ibalaha: me, Aisage amola Ya: igobe ilima ima: ne ilegele sia: i, ilia da amo ganodini hamedafa masunu. Bai ilia da Nama hagai galu.’
Amo da Isala: ili asigilai dunu huluanedafa. Be Ga: ilebe (Yifane, Ginesaide dunu amo egefe) amola Yosiua (Nane egefe) ela fawane da ganodini masunu. Bai ela fawane da Hina Godema hame hagai galu.
13 So Yahweh was angry with the Israeli people, and [as a result] he has caused us to wander in this desert for 40 years. Finally, all the people who had sinned against Yahweh [by refusing to trust him] died, [one by one].
Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu ilima ougi galu. Ea hamobeba: le, ilia da wadela: i hafoga: i soge amo ganodini ode 40 agoane udigili lalu. Amalalu, dunu huluanedafa da Ema ougima: ne hamoiba: le, ili da bogogia: i dagoi ba: i.
14 And you are acting like your ancestors did! You sinful Israeli people are going to cause Yahweh to be more angry with you [than he was with our ancestors]
Amola wali dilia da ilia sogebi lai dagoi. Dilia da wadela: i fi gaheabolo amola dilia hame nabasu hou hamomuba: le, Hina Gode da bu Isala: ili fi ilima mihanane ougimu.
15 If you stop trusting him, he will cause you and all your fellow Israelis to stay longer in the desert, and he will get rid of all of you!”
Dilia Liubene amola Ga: de fi dunu da wali Ema fa: no bobogemu higasea, E da bu Isala: ili dunu huluane wadela: i hafoga: i soge ganodini udigili laloma: ne yolesimu. Amola ilia da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu. Bai dilia hamobeba: le.”
16 Then the [leaders of the tribes of Reuben and Gad] said to Moses/me, “First we will build pens for our animals and build cities for our families here.
Liubene amola Ga: de dunu da Mousesema misini, amane sia: i, “Ninia bisili ninia sibi gaga: ma: ne, gelega gagoma: ne amola ninia sosogo fi esaloma: ne osobo dogomusa: , logo doasima.
17 Then our families will live in strong cities with walls around them, and they will be safe from the people who live in this land. Then we will get ready to fight battles. We will help the other Israelis to get land [on the other side of the river].
Amasea, ninia da ninia Isala: ili fi eno ilima gilisili gegemusa: masunu. Ninia da ilia doagala: su amo bisili masunu amola mae fisili, ilia da ilia sogedafa amo lale fi dagosea fawane buhagimu. Be ninia da amo gegemusa: ahoasea, ninia uda amola mano da goeguda: gagili sali moilai amo ganodini esalumu. Ilia amogawi fi dunu amoga hahawane gaga: i dagoi ba: mu.
18 We will not return to our homes until every Israeli has received some land.
Ninia da ninia diasudafa amoguda: hedolo hame buhagimu. Be Isala: ili dunu oda ilia huluane da ilima ilegei soge amo lai dagobeba: le fawane buhagimu.
19 We will not take any land on the west side of the Jordan [River]; our land will be here on the east side.”
Ilia da Yodane Hano na: iyadodili soge lasea, ninia da hame lamu. Bai ninia da Yodane Hano eso midadi heda: su gusudili lai dagoi.”
20 So Moses/I told them, “[Okay, I will tell you] what you all must do. You must get ready to fight battles for Yahweh.
Mousese da bu adole i, “Dilia adomusa: fawane hanai galea, guiguda: Hina Gode ba: ma: ne, dilia gegena masusa: momagema!
21 You all must cross the Jordan [River] carrying your weapons.
Dilia gegesu dunu huluane da Yodane Hano degemu. Amasea, Hina Gode da ili ouligimu. Ilia da ilia ha lai amo doagala: le, amola Hina Gode da ili hasalili,
22 After Yahweh helps us to take that land [from the people who live there], you will be permitted to return to your homes. You will have done what you have promised Yahweh and the Israeli people that you would do, and you may keep this land to be your own, given to you by Yahweh.
ilia soge huluane lale gagamu. Amalalu, dilia buhagimu da defea. Bai dilia da dia Hina Godema amola dilia Isala: ili fi hamoma: ne ilegei amo hamoi dagoi ba: mu. Amasea, Hina Gode da amo soge Yodane Hano eso midadi heda: su gusudili gala, da dilia sogedafa sia: mu.
23 “But if you do not do these things, you will be sinning against Yahweh, and he will punish you for [that] sin.
Be na da dilima sisasu olelesa. Dilia da dilia hamomusa: sia: i ilegei amo giadofale hamosea, dilia Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi dagoi ba: mu. Sia: noga: le dawa: ma! Dilia wadela: i hou hamosea, Hina Godema wamolegemu da hamedei ba: mu.
24 Now you can build cities for your families and pens for your animals, but after doing that, you must do what you have promised.”
Amaiba: le, dilia moilai dogoma amola sibi gagoi hamoma. Be dilia hamomusa: ilegele sia: i, amo noga: le hamoma.”
25 The leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben replied, “We will do what you have asked us to do [MTY], because you are our leader.
Ga: de amola Liubene fi dunu da Mousesema amane sia: i, “Hina! Ninia da dia hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamomu.
26 Our wives and children and our cattle and sheep and goats will stay here in the cities in the Gilead area,
Ninia uda, mano, bulamagau amola sibi da Gilia: de soge moilai goeguda: esaloma: mu.
27 but we will prepare to go to battle. We will take our weapons and go across [the Jordan River] and fight for Yahweh, just as you, our leader, have said.”
Be ninia huluane da Hina Godema fa: no bobogele gegemusa: momageiwane esala. Ninia da dia sia: i defele, Yodane Hano degele, gegena masunu.”
28 So Moses/I gave instructions about them to Eleazar, Joshua, and the leaders of the Israeli tribes.
Amaiba: le, Mousese da Elia: isa, Yosiua amola eno Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilima amane hamoma: ne sia: i,
29 Moses/I said to them, “If the men from the tribes of Gad and Reuben prepare for battle and cross the Jordan [River] with you, in order to do what Yahweh desires and help you to take that land, give them the Gilead area to belong to them.
“Ga: de amola Liubene fi dunu da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: sea, amola gegemusa: Yodane Hano degesea, amola ilia da dili fidisia, amola Ga: ina: ne soge fi hasalasea, Gilia: de soge amo ilia gagulaligima: ne ilima ima.
30 But if they do not take their weapons and go with you prepared to fight, they will not receive this land. They will need to accept some land in Canaan, like the rest of you will do.”
Be ilia da dili gilisili gegemusa: Yodane Hano hame degesea, defea, ilia da dili defele Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini ilima ilegei soge mogi amo lamu.”
31 The [leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben] replied, “We will do what you have said and what Yahweh has said.
Ga: de amola Liubene fi dunu da bu adole i, “Hina! Ninia da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo defele hamomu.
32 We will cross the river into Canaan land, and we will do what Yahweh desires and be prepared for battle. But our land will be [here] on the east side of the Jordan [River].”
Ninia da guiguda: Yodane Hano eso midadi heda: su gusudili soge amo gagulaligima: ne, Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo fa: no bobogele, Yodane Hano degele, Ga: ina: ne soge fi dunuma gegemusa: masunu.”
33 So Moses/I agreed to give that land to the tribes of Gad and Reuben and to half of the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh. That land was previously the land where Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, ruled, and the land where Og, the king of Bashan [region], ruled, including its cities and surrounding land.
Amaiba: le, Mousese da Ga: de amola Liubene fi amola Ma: na: se fi dogoa mogi la: idili, ilima A: moulaide hina bagade Saihone amola Ba: isia: ne hina bagade Oge amo ela soge huluane ilima ilegele i. E da amo soge ea moilai huluane amola soge amoga sisiga: le diala, amo huluane ilima i.
34 The people of the tribe of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
Ga: de fi dunu da musa: gagili sali moilai mugului (amo Daibone, A:dalode, Aloua, A:dalodi Sioufa: ne, Ya: isa, Yogebiha, Bede Nimila, amola Bede Ha: ila: ne) amo huluane bu hiougi.
35 Atroth-Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran cities. Those were cities with strong walls around them. And they also built pens for their sheep.
37 The people of the tribe of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
Liubene fi dunu da moilai amo Hesiabone, Ilia: ile, Giliada: ime, Nibou, Ba: ile Mione amola Sibima bu gagui. Ilia da moilai huluane amo ilia bu gagui amoma dio gaheabolo asuli.
38 Nebo, Baal-Meon, and Sibmah cities. When they rebuilt Nebo and Baal-Meon, they gave new names to those cities.
39 The descendants of Manasseh’s son Makir went to the Gilead [region] and compelled the people of the Amor people-group to leave that area.
Ma: ige (Ma: na: se egefe) amo ea fi da Gilia: de soge doagala: le, golili sa: ili, gesowale lai. Ilia da A: moulaide dunu amogawi esalu amo gadili sefasi.
40 So Moses/I gave Gilead to the family of Makir, and they started to live there.
Amaiba: le, Mousese da Gilia: de soge amo Ma: ige fi ilima i. Amola ilia da amogawi esalu.
41 Jair, who was also a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured the small towns in that region, and he named them the Towns of Jair.
Ya: ie (Ma: na: se fi dunu) da moilai mogili doagala: le lai. E da amo moilai amoma ‘Ya: ie ea Moilai’ dio asuli.
42 A man named Nobah went and captured Kenath [city] and the nearby towns, and then he put his own name to be the new name of that area.
Nouba da Gina: de moilai bai bagade amola moilai huluane amoga sisiga: le dialu, amo doagala: le gesowale lai. E da Gina: de moilai amoma hina: dio Nouba amo asuli.
