< Numbers 32 >

1 Now the descendants of Reuben and of Gad had large numbers of livestock. When they saw the land of Jazer and Gilead, the land was a wonderful place for livestock.
Arulana pus cow nutin sruf lal Reuben ac Gad. Na ke elos liye lah wo acn Jazer ac Gilead nu ke tohf cow
2 So the descendants of Gad and Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the community. They said,
elos utyak nu yorol Moses, Eleazar, ac mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel ac fahk,
3 “This is a list of places we have surveyed: Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon.
“Acn Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sibmah, Nebo, ac Beon
4 These are the lands that Yahweh attacked before the community of Israel, and they are good places for livestock. We, your servants, have a lot of livestock.”
LEUM GOD El tuh kasrekut eisla. Acn inge wona nu ke tohf kosro, ac arulana pus kosro natusr uh.
5 They said, “If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to us, your servants, as a possession. Do not make us cross over the Jordan.”
Nunak munas ase acn inge in ma lasr, ac tia sap kut in alukela Infacl Jordan in muta layen roto.”
6 Moses replied to the descendants of Gad and Reuben, “Should your brothers go to war while you settle down here?
Tusruktu Moses el topuk ac fahk, “Ya ma liwos ac som mweun, a kowos ac mutana inge?
7 Why discourage the hearts of the people of Israel from going over into the land that Yahweh has given them?
Efu kowos ku srike in akmunasye nunkun mwet Israel tuh elos in tia lungse fahsr aliki Infacl Jordan nu in facl se su LEUM GOD El sang nu selos?
8 Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to examine the land.
Pa ingan ma papa tomowos ah tuh oru ke nga supwalosla liki Kadesh Barnea in kalngeyuk nu in acn sac.
9 They went up to the Valley of Eshkol. They saw the land and then discouraged the hearts of the people of Israel so that they refused to enter the land that Yahweh had given them.
Elos som nwe sun Infahlfal Eshcol ac liye facl sac, tusruktu ke elos foloko, elos akmunasye mwet uh in tia utyak nu in facl se su LEUM GOD El sang nu selos.
10 Yahweh's anger was kindled on that day. He took an oath and said,
LEUM GOD El tuh kasrkusrakak ke len sac, ac orala wulela se inge:
11 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and up, will see the land about which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not completely followed me, except for
‘Nga fulahk lah, mweyen elos tia inse pwayena nu sik, wangin sie sin mwet su matwa yac longoulyak su illa liki acn Egypt fah utyak nu in facl se su nga wuleang kac nu sel Abraham, Isaac ac Jacob.’
12 Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua son of Nun. Only Caleb and Joshua have completely followed me.'
Kas inge ma nu sin mwet nukewa, sayal Caleb wen natul Jephunneh mwet Ken, ac Joshua wen natul Nun. Eltal mukena inse pwayena nu sin LEUM GOD.
13 So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel. He made them wander around in the wilderness for forty years until all the generation who had done evil in his sight was destroyed.
LEUM GOD El kasrkusrakak sin mwet uh ac oru elos in forfor yen mwesis ke yac angngaul, nwe ke na fwil nufon se ma oru ma koluk ye mutal ah misa.
14 Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, like just more sinful men, to add to Yahweh's burning anger toward Israel.
Ac inge kowos sie fwil sasu su aolla papa matu tomowos in oru ma koluk, ac akyokye kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD nu fin Israel.
15 If you turn away from following him, he will again leave Israel in the wilderness and you will have destroyed all this people.”
Mwet Reuben ac Gad, kowos fin forla lukel inge, El ac sifilpa fahsr liki mwet inge nukewa yen mwesis uh, na mwatan ma koluk ma ac sikyak inge ac fah oan fowos.”
16 So they came near Moses and said, “Allow us to build fences here for our cattle and cities for our families.
Na elos kalukyang nu yorol Moses ac fahk, “Kut siyuk tuh kut in etoak kutu kalkal eot nu ke sheep natusr uh, ac musai kutu siti ke pot ku nu sin sou lasr uh.
17 However, we ourselves will be ready and armed to go with Israel's army until we have led them into their place. But our families will live in the fortified cities because of the other people who still live in this land.
Na kut ac fah akola in wi mwet Israel wiasr som nu ke mweun, ac kut fah fahsr meet in kololos nwe ke kut oakelosi fin acn su ac fah ma lalos. In pacl ingan, sou lasr uh fah muta inge in siti kalkalyak ke pot ku, ac tia sensen ke mwet in facl se inge.
18 We will not return to our houses until every one of the people of Israel has obtained his inheritance.
Kut fah tia foloko nu yen sesr nwe ke mwet Israel nukewa elos oakwuki in acn ma itukyang nu selos.
19 We will not inherit the land with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance is here on the east side of the Jordan.”
Kut fah tia eis kutena acn sesr layen roto in Infacl Jordan, mweyen kut eis tari ip lasr inge layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan.”
20 So Moses replied to them, “If you do what you say, if you arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to war,
Moses el topuk, “Fin pwayena ma kowos fahk, na inge ye mutun LEUM GOD, kowos akola in som nu ke mweun.
21 then every one of your armed men must cross over the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has driven out his enemies from before him
Mwet mweun lowos nukewa in fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan, na ye koko lun LEUM GOD elos in mweun lain mwet lokoalok lasr nwe ke LEUM GOD El kutangulosla
22 and the land is subdued before him. Then afterward you may return. You will be guiltless toward Yahweh and toward Israel. This land will be your possession before Yahweh.
ac eis acn sac. Toko kowos ac ku in foloko, mweyen kowos akfalyela tari ma kunowos nu sin LEUM GOD ac nu sin mwet Israel wiowos. Na LEUM GOD El fah akkalemye lah acn se inge kutulap in Infacl Jordan ma lowos.
23 But if you do not do so, look, you will have sinned against Yahweh. Be sure that your sin will find you out.
Tusruktu kowos fin tia oru oana ma kowos wulela inge, nga akkalemye nu suwos lah kowos orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD. Kowos in arulana etu lah ac fah kaiyuk kowos ke ma koluk lowos.
24 Build cities for your families and pens for your sheep; then do what you have said.”
Ke ma inge, musai siti nu sin sou lowos ac kalkal nu ke sheep ac nani nutuwos an, tusruktu kowos in oru na ma kowos wulela kac!”
25 The descendants of Gad and Reuben spoke to Moses and said, “Your servants will do as you, our master, commands.
Na mukul ke sruf lal Gad ac Reuben elos fahk, “Moses, kut ac oru oana kom sapkin.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will stay there in the cities of Gilead.
Mutan kiasr, tulik natusr, cow natusr, ac sheep natusr fah mutana inge ke siti in acn Gilead.
27 However, we, your servants, will cross over before Yahweh to battle, every man who is armed for war, as you, our master, say.”
A kut nukewa ac akola in som nu ke mweun ye kolyuk lun LEUM GOD. Kut ac fahla alukela Infacl Jordan ac mweun, oana ke kom fahk.”
28 So Moses gave instructions concerning them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the leaders of the ancestor's clans in the tribes of the people of Israel.
Ouinge Moses el sang ma sap inge nu sel Eleazar, Joshua, ac mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel:
29 Moses said to them, “If the descendants of Gad and Reuben cross over the Jordan with you, every man who is armed to battle before Yahweh, and if the land is subdued before you, then you will give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
“Mukul ke sruf lun Gad ac Reuben fin fahsr aliki Infacl Jordan ac akola nu ke mweun ke sap lun LEUM GOD, ac kowos fin eisla acn sac ke sripen kasru lalos, na kowos fah sang nu selos acn Gilead tuh in ma lalos.
30 But if they do not cross over with you armed, then they will acquire their possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”
Tusruktu elos fin tia fahla alukela Infacl Jordan ac wi kowos mweun, elos ac fah eis na acn selos inmasrlowos fin acn Canaan.”
31 So the descendants of Gad and Reuben answered and said, “As Yahweh has said to us, your servants, this is what we will do.
Mukul ke sruf lun Gad ac Reuben elos topuk, “Kut ac oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
32 We will cross over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, but our possessed inheritance will remain with us on this side of the Jordan.”
Ye kolyuk lal, kut fah fahla aliki nu in facl Canaan ac mweun, tuh acn inge kutulap in Infacl Jordan in ma lasr.”
33 So to the descendants of Gad and Reuben, and also to the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, Moses gave the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and of Og, king of Bashan. He gave to them the land, and distributed to them all its cities with their borders, the cities of the land around them.
Ouinge Moses el oakiya acn nukewa ke facl sel Tokosra Sihon lun acn Amor, ac facl sel Tokosra Og lun acn Bashan, weang siti srisrik ac acn nukewa ma raunela, tuh in ma lun sruf lun Gad ac Reuben ac tafu sruf lal Manasseh.
34 The descendants of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
Sruf lun Gad sifil musaela pot ku in siti Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
Atroth, Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities with pens for sheep.
Beth Nimrah, ac Beth Haran.
37 The descendants of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
Sruf lun Reuben sifil musaela Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Meon—their names were later changed, and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities that they rebuilt.
Nebo, Baal Meon (ayaolla inen acn se inge), ac Sibmah. Elos sang ine sasu nu ke siti ma elos sifil musaela.
39 The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it away from the Amorites who were in it.
Sou lulap lal Machir, wen natul Manasseh, mweun ac eisla acn Gilead, ac elos lusla mwet Amor su muta we.
40 Then Moses gave Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and his people settled there.
Ke ma inge Moses el sang acn Gilead nu sin sou lal Machir, ac elos muta we.
41 Jair son of Manasseh went and captured its towns and called them Havvoth Jair.
Jair, ke sruf lal Manasseh, el mweun ac sruokya kutu siti srisrik we, ac sang ine sasu se inge nu kac: “Siti Srisrik lun Jair.”
42 Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nobah el mweun ac sruokya acn Kenath ac siti srisrik raunela, ac sang inel sifacna nu ke acn inge: Nobah.
