< Numbers 32 >

1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;
Mgbe ndị Izrel rutere ala Jeza na Gilead, ndị ebo Ruben na Gad ndị nwere ọtụtụ igwe ehi, na igwe ewu na atụrụ chọpụtara na ala ahụ dị mma nke ukwuu maka ịzụ anụ ụlọ.
2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
Ya mere, ha bịakwutere Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja, na ndị ndu nzukọ Izrel, sị ha,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Ala ndị a: Atarọt, Dibọn, Jeza, Nimra, Heshbọn, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo, na Beon,
4 [Even] the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
bụ ala nke Onyenwe anyị meriri nʼagha nʼihu nzukọ Izrel, dị mma maka ịzụ anụ ụlọ. Anyị onwe anyị kwa nwere igwe ewu na atụrụ.
5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over Jordan.
Ọ bụrụ na anyị achọtala amara nʼihu unu, biko, kwerenụ ka akụkụ ala a bụrụ ihe nketa nke anyị bụ ohu unu. Unu emekwala ka anyị soro ndị Izrel gafee nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan.”
6 And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
Mosis jụrụ ndị Gad na Ruben ajụjụ sị, “Unu na-ekwu na unu chọrọ ịnọ nʼebe a mgbe ụmụnna unu ndị ikom niile ga-agafe osimiri Jọdan ịlụ agha niile ahụ dị na-eche ha?
7 And why discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
Ọ bụ nʼihi gịnị ka unu ji eme ka ndị Izrel daa mba ghara ịgafe banye nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyerela ha?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
Otu a ka nna unu ha mere mgbe m si Kadesh Banea zipụ ha inyocha ala ahụ.
9 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
Mgbe ha letasịrị ala ahụ si na Ndagwurugwu Eshkọl lọghachi, ha mere ka obi ndị Izrel niile daa mba ịbanye nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ha.
10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
Nʼihi nke a Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide ha nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ọ ṅụrụ iyi kwuo sị,
11 Surely none of the men that came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
‘Nʼihi na unu jụrụ iji obi unu niile gbasoo m, o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ahụ o si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta, ndị gbara iri afọ abụọ rigoo, ga-ahụ ala ahụ m kwere Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb nkwa inye ha.’
12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
Naanị ndị ọṅụṅụ iyi a na-emegideghị bụ Kaleb, nwa Jefune onye Keniz, na Joshua nwa Nun, nʼihi na ha jiri obi ha niile sogide Onyenwe anyị.
13 And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was consumed.
Iwe Onyenwe anyị dịịrị ọkụ megide Izrel, o mere ka ha wagharịa nʼọzara iri afọ anọ, tutu ruo mgbe ọgbọ ahụ niile nke mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya ya nwụchara.
14 And behold, ye have risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD towards Israel.
“Ma lee unu ugbu a, agbụrụ ndị mmehie, ọ bụkwa otu ihe ahụ ka unu na-eme! Unu na-achọ ime ka iwe dị ukwuu wee Onyenwe anyị megide ndị Izrel.
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and he will destroy all this people.
Ọ bụrụ na unu ajụ iso Onyenwe anyị ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ka ndị Izrel nọgide nʼọzara. Mbibi na ịla nʼiyi nke ga-abịakwasị ha ga-abụkwa nke unu ji aka unu kpatara ha.”
16 And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheep-folds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
Ma ha zara sị ya, “Ọ gaghị adị otu a! Anyị ga-ewuru anụ ụlọ anyị ụlọ, tinye igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị nʼime ha. Anyị ga-ewukwara ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụntakịrị anyị obodo ebe ha ga-anọ.
17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.
Ma anyị onwe anyị ga-eburu ngwa agha anyị, buru ndị Izrel niile ọzọ ụzọ gaa nʼihu ịlụ ọgụ, tutu anyị edubata ha nʼala nke ha ga-eketa. Ma ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụntakịrị anyị ga-anọ nʼobodo e wusiri ike, ikpuchite ezinaụlọ anyị niile site nʼaka ndị iro bi anyị gburugburu.
18 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Anyị agaghị alọta nʼụlọ anyị tutu onye Izrel ọbụla enweta ihe nketa nke ya.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance hath fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.
Anyị achọghị ihe nketa, nʼofe Jọdan nke ọzọ, nʼihi na anyị ewerela oke nke anyị nʼebe a, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Jọdan.”
20 And Moses said to them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis zara sị ha, “Ọ dị mma, ọ bụrụ na unu ga-eme dịka unu kwuru, jikere onwe unu, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ibu agha.
21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
Ọ bụrụ na ndị agha unu ga-eso gafee nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan, soro ndị ọzọ buo agha tutu ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị chụpụchara ndị iro ya niile,
22 And the land shall be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
mgbe ahụ, e merichaa mba ndị ahụ niile nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, unu nwere ike ịlọghachi nʼebe a, bụrụ ndị ikpe na-amaghị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị na ndị Izrel nọ. Ala a dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, ga-abụ ihe nketa unu nwere site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
“Ọ bụrụkwanụ na unu ajụ ime dịka unu kwuru, mgbe ahụ, ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-emehie megide. Matakwanụ na unu ga-emesịa nata ụgwọ ọrụ mmehie unu.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
Wuonụ obodo ebe ndị inyom na ụmụ unu ga-ebi, wuokwanụ ụlọ anụ maka igwe ewu na atụrụ unu, ma mezuokwanụ ihe niile unu kweere na nkwa.”
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
Ndị ebo Gad na Ruben sịrị Mosis, “Anyị bụ ndị ohu gị ga-eme dịka onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
Ụmụ anyị niile, na ndị inyom anyị niile, na igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị, na ehi anyị niile, ga-anọ nʼebe a, nʼobodo ndị a anyị wuru nʼala Gilead.
27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
Ma anyị, ndị ohu gị, ndị niile tozuru ije agha, ga-agafe osimiri Jọdan ibu agha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, dịka onyenwe anyị si kwuo.”
28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis nyere Elieza, bụ onye nchụaja, na Joshua nwa Nun, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ nke ebo Izrel niile iwu banyere ha,
29 And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed for battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na ndị ebo Gad na Ruben, onye ọbụla nke jikere ịga agha, ga-eso unu gafee Jọdan nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, mgbe ahụ, oge unu lụgburu ndị ala ahụ niile, unu aghaghị inye ha ala Gilead dịka ihe nketa ha.
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ha ajụ iso unu, ha ga-eso ndị ọzọ keta oke nʼala Kenan.”
31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said to thy servants, so will we do.
Ndị ebo Gad na Ruben zara sị, “Ihe ọbụla Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu ka anyị ga-eme.
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be] ours.
Anyị ga-ejikere soro Onyenwe anyị jee agha nʼala Kenan. Ma ihe nketa anyị ga-adị nʼebe a, nʼakụkụ Jọdan.”
33 And Moses gave to them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with its cities in the borders, [even] the cities of the country around.
Mosis nyere ndị ebo Gad, na Ruben, na ọkara Manase nwa Josef, alaeze niile Saịhọn eze Amọrị nakwa alaeze niile nke Ọg, eze ndị Bashan na-achị. O nyere ha ala ahụ niile, na obodo niile dị nʼala ahụ gburugburu.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Ndị ebo Gad wugharịrị ma wusiekwa obodo ndị a, Dibọn, Atarọt, Aroea
35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
Atrọt-Shofan, Jeza, Jogbeha,
36 And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities: and folds for sheep.
Bet-Nimra na Bet-Haran bụ obodo e wusiri ike, wukwaara igwe ewu na atụrụ ha ụlọ anụ nʼime ya.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
Ma ndị ebo Ruben wugharịrị obodo ndị a: obodo Heshbọn, Eleale, Kiriatem,
38 And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Shibmah: and gave other names to the cities which they built.
Nebo na Baal-Meon (ma a gbanwere aha ha) na Sibma. Ha gbanwere aha obodo niile ndị ahụ ha wugharịrị, gụọ ha aha ọhụrụ.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite who [was] in it.
Ndị agbụrụ Makia, nwa Manase gara nʼobodo Gilead lụgbuo ya, chụpụ ndị Amọrait bi nʼebe ahụ.
40 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt in it.
Ya mere, Mosis were obodo Gilead nye Makia, ụmụ Manase ka ha biri nʼebe ahụ.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns, and called them Havoth-jair.
Jia, onye sikwa nʼebo Manase gara buso ọtụtụ obodo nta ndị ọzọ agha, lụgbuo ha. Ọ gbanwere aha obodo nta ndị a, gụọ ha Havọt Jaịa.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nʼoge a kwa, otu nwoke a na-akpọ Nọba duuru ndị agha gaa nʼobodo Kenat, na nʼobodo nta ndị ọzọ gbara ya gburugburu, lụgbuo ha, bichie nʼime ha. Ọ gbanwere aha obodo ndị ahụ niile bido ịkpọ ha Nọba, nke bụ aha ya onwe ya.
