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].
Reuben leh Gad chilhahten bong hon tampi anavul un ahi. Chuin Jazer gam leh Gilead gam amudoh taovin ahile, hiche mun chu bong honte vahna ding’a ki lem tah a sohdoh tan ahi.
2 So their leaders came to Eleazar and the other leaders of the people and Moses/me. They said,
Chuin Gad chate ahin Reuben chate ahin Mose leh Eleazer thempupa leh khoppi lamkai ho jouse hengah ahung un hiti hin a sei tauvin ahi.
3 “We have a great amount of livestock.
Dibon leh Ataroth, Jazer, Nimrah, Hershbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo chule Beon ahiuve.
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].
Pakaiyin mitmu changtah ah hichete ho Israel khoppi ana suhmang ahin, hiche gamsung chu bong vahna ding mong mong in aum tan, lhacha a pang ho jeng in jong bong ka nei uve atiuvin ahi.
5 If it pleases you, we would like this land to be ours, instead of land on the other side of the Jordan River.”
Chuin hiti hin aseijun, namitmua na lunglhaina lam katouva ahile, hiche gamsung hi nalhacha keiho chanvou in neisem peh tauvin, Jordan vadung gal lamma vang nei puida tauvin, tin asei uve.
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!
Mose’n jong Gad leh Reuben chate henga aseijin, na sopite hou galsat laitah a hi nangho tou thip beh a um deng ding na tiuham.
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].
Pakai, Pathen in a pehsa hiche gamsunga alut diu chu ipi dinga na lungthoi sah jeng’u ham?
8 Your ancestors did the same kind of thing. I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to see what the land [of Canaan] was like.
Napate uvin jong Kadesh Barnea apat hiche gam velhi dinga ka sol chun hiti hin asei un ahi.
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.’
Abonchauvin Eshcol phaicham geijin akitol tauvin, hiche gamsung chu amit tah uvin agamu tauve, Pakaiyin Israel chate apehsa gamsung alut diu sa chu ana lung thoisah jeng tauvin ahi.
10 So Yahweh became very angry with them, and he solemnly declared this:
Hiche nikho chun Pakai, Pathen alung hang doh jeng tan ahile hiti hin ki hahselna anei tan ahi.
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].’
Kum somnia lhah chunglam se, Egypt gamsung’a konna hungpot doh hon, Isaac, Abraham leh Jacob henga ka kitep nasa gamsunga chu lut theilou hel diu ahitai. Ajeh chu amaho hin cham kimsel in kanung ajui tapouvin ahi.
Keniz apat Jephunneh cha Caleb leh Nun chapa Joshua kalvalla adang koima chan hiche gamsung khu amuthei lou ding ahi. Ajeh chu amani hin Chamkim sella Pakai, Pathen nung ajuilhon ahi.
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].
Israel chung’a Pakai, Pathen alunghang jeng tan ahile, chuin Israel mite hiche khang mite ho chu Pakai mitmua thilse bol jouse athigam kahsen kum som li sung in gamthip noiya avale sah tan ahi.
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]
Nangho jong napu napate hou akonna chonsetna chun nahin jui peh taovin, hijeh chun Israel mite chunga Pakai lung hanna chu asang jocheh a lung hansah ding nagel uve!
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!”
Chule Pakai nung najuina uva konna na kihei mang hel uva ahile, aman hiche mite hohi gamthip noiya don louva ahin koi ding, chu teng hiche mite ho chunga hi manthahna na alhunsah teitei ding ahi tai, ati.
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.
Chuin Gad leh Reuben chate Mose ang sung’a ahung lut tauvin, hiti hin asei uve, hiche muna hin kelngoinou tampi ka nei uvin, hijeh chun kelngoi kul ka sempeh uva, chule ka cha ka naote hou dinga jong chenna in phabep ka sah peh diu ahi.
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].
Khat cheh in manchah kapat uva, Israel mite gal lamkaiya ka pan diu, amaho jouse chenna ding mun kamu kahse uva kigosa demma umjing ka hiuvin, ahinlah a gamsunga chengte ho jal a hi numei chapang ho kulpi kaikhum ma ven bit ding ka tiu ahi.
18 We will not return to our homes until every Israeli has received some land.
Chule Israel chaten khat cheh a chen mun anei kahse’a keiho inlam hung kile lou ding kahi tauve.
19 We will not take any land on the west side of the Jordan [River]; our land will be here on the east side.”
Ajeh chu amaho toh Jordan vadung gal lamma khu gou kalo khom thei lou diu ahi. Solam gamkai Jordan lam hi keiho goulo ding a hung kisep doh ahitai.
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.
Chuin Mose’n jong amaho jouse henga aseijin, na bonchao va hitia hi na bolsoh kei diu, khat cheh manchah toh na kondoh uva, Pakai ansunga galsat dinga na kon doh sohkei diu ahi.
21 You all must cross the Jordan [River] carrying your weapons.
Gal manchah choi jouse Jordan vadung na galkai soh kei diu, chu teng Pakaiyin amasang lama amel mate asat gamhel kahsea Pakai angsunga gal na sat jing diu ahi.
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.
Hiche gamsung chu Pakaija konna athua ki nunsah na ahung um doh teng leh na boncha uva Israel mite na chung uva kigahna ho Jousea konna na onthol diu, na hung kinung lekit uva chu teng hiche gamsung hi Pakai, Pathen jal'a nangho jouse chenna hiding ahi tai.
23 “But if you do not do these things, you will be sinning against Yahweh, and he will punish you for [that] sin.
Hi tabang’a hi nabol lou uva ahile, nangho jouse jong Pakai doumah a umna hidiu, hiche na chonset nau hin na hin holdoh teidiu ahi, tihi kichih theijun, ati.
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.”
Na numei chapang ho ding in chen mun phabep sahpeh unlang, na kelngoi tehou kul jong sem peh uvin lang, amavang na kitepna’u aboncha na bolsoh kei diu ahi.
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.
Chuin Gad leh Reuben chate hon Pakai henga hiti hin asei tauvin ahi. Nei thupeh bang bang uva na lhacha ten ka bol jing diu ahiye.
26 Our wives and children and our cattle and sheep and goats will stay here in the cities in the Gilead area,
Ka chasen jouseu leh ka jite hou, kelngoite jouse abonchan Gilead khopi mun alha ngai diu ahi tai.
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.”
Ka heng uva na thu lhah banga hi nalhacha te galman chah panna Pakai angsunga galsat ding in Jordan vadung galkai soh kei diu kahi, ati.
28 So Moses/I gave instructions about them to Eleazar, Joshua, and the leaders of the Israeli tribes.
Chuin Mose’n aboncha’u chung thudol a Eleazer thempupa ahin Nun chapa Joshua chule Israel chate phung kailhah ama ama pa janglhah cheh henga thu ape tan ahi.
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.
Mose’n amaho henga hiti chun thu aseijin, Gad chate ahin Reuben chate abonchauva galmanchah choiya Pakai angsunga galsat dinga Jordan vadung agalkai soh kei uva, agam jeng jong hi Pakai angsunga ama thua anun a ahile, Gilead gam mun hi Amaho chen mun ding’a na peh doh jeng diu ahi.
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.”
Ahinlah amaho hin gal manchah la kichoi ngal uva nangho jaona agal kaikhom tah lou uva ahile, amaho hin Canaan gamsung’a nangho jouse lah’a chenna mun anei lou diu ahi.
31 The [leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben] replied, “We will do what you have said and what Yahweh has said.
Chuin Gad chate leh Reuben chaten ahenga hiti hin asei un, na lhacha ho josue henga Pakaiyin asei bang banga keihon jong ka suh-bukim soh kei diu ahi, tai.
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].”
Ka boncha uva galmanchah choija ka kipat doh diu Pakai angsunga konna Jordan ka galkai uva Canaan gamsung ka lut diu, ka chen mun ahin ka goulo diu ijakai Jordan vadung gal lamma ana umsa hita hen, atiuve.
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.
Chuin Mose’n jong Gad chate ahin Reuben chate ahin Joseph chapa Manasseh phung phabep chu Amor mite lengpa Sihon lenggam leh Og lenggam, agamgi chin dunga khopi josue hain chule agam sunga khopi jouse abonchan apedoh sohkei tan ahi.
34 The people of the tribe of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
Gad chaten khopi atundoh hou chu Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atroth-Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
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.
Beth-nimrah, Beth-haran khopi jouse chu kul akai khum soh keiyun, kelngoite um nading mun jong tampi asem doh peh tauvin ahi.
37 The people of the tribe of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
Reuben chate jong chun Heshbon leh Elealeh khopi Kiria-thaim,
38 Nebo, Baal-Meon, and Sibmah cities. When they rebuilt Nebo and Baal-Meon, they gave new names to those cities.
Nebo, Baalmeon hichengse hi atundoh tauvin, main jeng u-jong akhelsoh hel tauve, Sibmah jong anatungdoh uvin, amahon atundoh khopi josue abonchan amin akhelsoh keityun ahi.
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.
Chuin Manasseh chapa Machir chate acheuvin Gilead agasat uvin ahile ahin jou tauve, agamsunga ana cheng Amor mite chu abonchaovin adel jam gamhel taovin ahi.
40 So Moses/I gave Gilead to the family of Makir, and they started to live there.
Mose’n jong Manasseh chapa Machir chu Gilead henga ape doh tan, khosunga chun acheng khom tauvin ahi.
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.
Manasseh chapa Jair chu a kipat doh kit tan a kimvel’a khoneo hochu abonchan agalo tan, hi chengse chu Jair ngahmun asah soh keiyin ahi.
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.
Hitichun Nobah jong akondoh paiyin Kenath khopi abonchan agalo kittan, hichengse chu amin Naboh aputsah tan ahi.
