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].
Àwọn ọmọ Reubeni àti àwọn ọmọ Gadi, tí wọ́n ní ẹran ọ̀sìn àti ohun ọ̀sìn rí wí pé ilẹ̀ Jaseri àti Gileadi dára fún ohun ọ̀sìn.
2 So their leaders came to Eleazar and the other leaders of the people and Moses/me. They said,
Àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti àwọn ọmọ Reubeni sì wá, wọ́n wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Mose àti Eleasari àlùfáà àti sí olórí gbogbo ìlú, wọ́n sì wí pé,
3 “We have a great amount of livestock.
“Atarotu, Diboni, Jaseri, Nimra, Heṣboni, Eleale, Sebamu, Nebo, àti Beoni.
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].
Ni ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa ti ṣẹ́gun níwájú ìjọ Israẹli tí ó sì dára fún ohun ọ̀sìn, ṣáwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì ní ohun ọ̀sìn.”
5 If it pleases you, we would like this land to be ours, instead of land on the other side of the Jordan River.”
Wọ́n wí pé, “Tí a bá rí ojúrere rẹ, jẹ́ kí a fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìní. Má ṣe jẹ́ kí a rékọjá odò Jordani.”
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 sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti fún ọmọ Reubeni pé, “Ṣé kí àwọn arákùnrin yín lọ sí ogun, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì jókòó sí bí?
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].
Kí ni ó dé tí o fi mú ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì bá àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láti lọ sí ibi ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa ti fi fún wọn?
8 Your ancestors did the same kind of thing. I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to see what the land [of Canaan] was like.
Èyí ni nǹkan tí baba yín ṣe nígbà tí mo rán wọn láti Kadeṣi-Barnea láti lọ wo ilẹ̀ náà.
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.’
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n lọ sí àfonífojì Eṣkolu tí wọ́n rí ilẹ̀ náà, wọ́n mú ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì bá àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láti wọ ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa ti fi fún wọn.
10 So Yahweh became very angry with them, and he solemnly declared this:
Ìbínú Olúwa sì dìde sí wọn ní ọjọ́ náà, ó sì búra, wí pé,
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].’
‘Nítorí wọn kò tẹ̀lé mi tọkàntọkàn, kì í ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọkùnrin náà tí ó jẹ́ ogún ọdún tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ tí ó gòkè láti Ejibiti ni yóò rí ilẹ̀ tí mo pinnu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìbúra fún Abrahamu, fún Isaaki àti fún Jakọbu:
kò sí ẹnìkankan àyàfi Kalebu ọmọ Jefunne ti Kenissiti àti Joṣua ọmọ Nuni, nítorí wọ́n tẹ̀lé Olúwa tọkàntọkàn.’
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].
Ìbínú Olúwa ru sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ó sì mú wọn rìn ní aginjù fún ogójì ọdún, títí tí àwọn ìran tí wọ́n ṣe búburú ní ojú rẹ̀ fi lọ.
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]
“Níbí ni ẹ̀yin wà, ẹ̀yin ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ẹ̀yin dìde ní ipò baba yín, ẹ sì jẹ́ kí ìbínú gbígbóná Olúwa ru sí Israẹli.
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!”
Tí ẹ̀yin bá yípadà ní ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ yóò sì fi àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí sílẹ̀ ní aginjù, ìwọ yóò sì mú un ṣe ìparun.”
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.
Nígbà náà wọ́n wá sí òkè ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, “Àwa yóò fẹ́ láti kọ́ ilé ẹran níhìn-ín yìí fún ohun ọ̀sìn wa, àti ìlú fún àwọn obìnrin àti ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́ wa.
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].
Ṣùgbọ́n àwa ṣetán láti dira ogun ṣáájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli títí tí a yóò fi mú wọn dé ọ̀dọ̀ wọn lákokò yìí, àwọn obìnrin àti ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́ wa yóò gbé inú ìlú tí a mọ odi sí fún ìdáàbòbò wọn lọ́wọ́ olùgbé ilẹ̀ náà.
18 We will not return to our homes until every Israeli has received some land.
A kì yóò padà sí ilẹ̀ wa láìṣe pé gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti gba ogún wọn.
19 We will not take any land on the west side of the Jordan [River]; our land will be here on the east side.”
A kì yóò gba ogún kankan pẹ̀lú wọn ní òdìkejì Jordani, nítorí ogún ti wa, ti wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ wa ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Jordani.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún wọn pé, “Tí ẹ̀yin yóò bá pa ara yín lára, níwájú Olúwa fún ogún.
21 You all must cross the Jordan [River] carrying your weapons.
Bí gbogbo yín yóò bá lọ sí Jordani ní ìhámọ́ra níwájú Olúwa, títí yóò fi lé àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ kúrò níwájú rẹ̀.
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.
Tí a ó sì fi ṣe ilẹ̀ náà níwájú Olúwa; ẹ̀yin lè padà tí yóò sì di òmìnira lọ́wọ́ ìdè níwájú Olúwa àti Israẹli. Ilẹ̀ yìí yóò sì jẹ́ tiyín níwájú Olúwa.
23 “But if you do not do these things, you will be sinning against Yahweh, and he will punish you for [that] sin.
“Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀yin bá kọ̀ láti ṣe èyí, ẹ̀yin yóò máa dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa; kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì mọ̀ dájú pé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín yóò fi yín hàn.
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.”
Ẹ kọ́ ilé fún àwọn obìnrin yín àti ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́ yín, àti ilé fún agbo ẹran yín, ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ̀yin kí ó ṣe ohun tí ẹ ti pinnu.”
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.
Àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti ọmọ Reubeni sọ fún Mose pé, “Àwa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí olúwa wa ti pàṣẹ.
26 Our wives and children and our cattle and sheep and goats will stay here in the cities in the Gilead area,
Àwọn ọmọ wa àti ìyàwó wa, àwọn agbo ẹran àti ohun ọ̀sìn wa yóò dúró ní ìlú Gileadi.
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, gbogbo ọkùnrin tí ó wọ ìhámọ́ra ogun, yóò rékọjá lọ láti jà níwájú Olúwa; gẹ́gẹ́ bí olúwa wa ti sọ.”
28 So Moses/I gave instructions about them to Eleazar, Joshua, and the leaders of the Israeli tribes.
Nígbà náà ni Mose pàṣẹ nípa wọn fún Eleasari àlùfáà àti Joṣua ọmọ Nuni àti sí gbogbo olórí ìdílé ẹ̀yà Israẹli.
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 sì wí fún wọn pé, “Tí àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti ọmọ Reubeni, gbogbo ọkùnrin tí ó wọ ìhámọ́ra fún ogun rékọjá odò Jordani pẹ̀lú níwájú Olúwa, nígbà tí ẹ ṣẹ́gun ilẹ̀ náà níwájú yín, fún wọn ní ilẹ̀ Gileadi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìní wọn.
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n tí wọn kò bá fẹ́ bá yín rékọjá pẹ̀lú ìhámọ́ra, wọn gbọdọ̀ gba ìní wọn pẹ̀lú yín ní Kenaani.”
31 The [leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben] replied, “We will do what you have said and what Yahweh has said.
Àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti ọmọ Reubeni dáhùn pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò ṣe ohun tí Olúwa ti sọ.
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].”
A máa rékọjá níwájú Olúwa lọ sí Kenaani pẹ̀lú ìhámọ́ra, ṣùgbọ́n ẹrù tí a jogún yóò wà ní ẹ̀bá Jordani.”
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.
Nígbà náà Mose fún àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti àwọn ọmọ Reubeni àti ààbọ̀ ẹ̀yà Manase ọmọ Josẹfu ní ilẹ̀ ọba Sihoni ọba àwọn ọmọ Amori àti ilẹ̀ ọba Ogu ọba Baṣani ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà pẹ̀lú ìlú rẹ̀ àti agbègbè tí ó yí i ka.
34 The people of the tribe of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
Àwọn ará Gadi wọ́n kọ́ Diboni, Atarotu, Aroeri;
35 Atroth-Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
pẹ̀lú Atrotu Ṣofani, Jaseri, àti Jogbeha,
36 Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran cities. Those were cities with strong walls around them. And they also built pens for their sheep.
pẹ̀lú Beti-Nimra, àti Beti-Harani ìlú olódi, àti agbo fún àgùntàn.
37 The people of the tribe of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
Àwọn ọmọ Reubeni sì kọ́ Heṣboni, Eleale, Kiriataimu,
38 Nebo, Baal-Meon, and Sibmah cities. When they rebuilt Nebo and Baal-Meon, they gave new names to those cities.
pẹ̀lú Nebo pẹ̀lú Baali-Meoni (wọ́n pàrọ̀ orúkọ wọn) àti Sibma. Wọ́n sì sọ ìlú tí wọ́n tún kọ́ ní orúkọ mìíràn.
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.
Àwọn ọmọ Makiri ọmọ Manase lọ sí Gileadi, wọ́n sì lé àwọn ọmọ Amori tí ó wà níbẹ̀.
40 So Moses/I gave Gilead to the family of Makir, and they started to live there.
Mose sì fi àwọn ọmọ Gileadi fún àwọn ọmọ Makiri àwọn ìran Manase, wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó síbẹ̀.
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.
Jairi, ọmọ Manase gba ibùjókòó wọn, ó sì pè wọ́n ní Haffotu Jairi.
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.
Noba gba Kenati àti àwọn ìtẹ̀dó rẹ̀, ó sì pè é ní Noba lẹ́yìn orúkọ ara rẹ̀.
