< Numbers 32 >

1 And much cattle hath been to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad, very many; and they see the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, and lo, the place [is] a place [for] cattle;
Pea ko eni, ko e fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻenau fanga manu: pea ne nau mamata ki he fonua ko Sesa, mo e fonua ko Kiliati, pea vakai, ko e potu ia ko e potu lelei ki he fanga manu;
2 and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, come in and speak unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the company, saying:
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni ʻonau lea kia Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e houʻeiki ʻoe kakai, ʻonau pehē,
3 'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon —
“Ko ʻAtaloti, mo Tiponi, mo Sesa, mo Nimila, mo Hesiponi, mo ʻIliale, mo Sipami, mo Nipo, mo Pioni,
4 the land which Jehovah hath smitten before the company of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'
‌ʻIo, ko e fonua naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e fonua ia ki he fanga manu, pea ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae fanga manu:
5 And they say, 'If we have found grace in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession; cause us not to pass over the Jordan.'
Pea ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai, Kapau ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, tuku ke foaki ʻae fonua ni ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ke mau maʻu, pea ʻoua ʻe ʻave ʻakimautolu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.”
6 And Moses saith to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, 'Do your brethren go in to the battle, and ye — do ye sit here?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa Kata, pea mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, “ʻE ʻalu homou kāinga ki he tau, ka te mou nofo pe ʻi heni?
7 and why discourage ye the heart of the sons of Israel from passing over unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them?
Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou fakavaivaiʻi ai ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke taʻofi ʻenau ʻalu ki he fonua ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu?
8 'Thus did your fathers in my sending them from Kadesh-Barnea to see the land;
Naʻe fai pehē hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi heʻeku fekau ʻakinautolu mei Ketesi-pania kenau mamata ki he fonua.
9 and they go up unto the valley of Eshcol, and see the land, and discourage the heart of the sons of Israel so as not to go in unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them;
Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hake ki he vahaʻa ʻo ʻEsikoli, ʻonau mamata ki he fonua, naʻa nau fakavaivaiʻi ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke taʻofi ʻenau ʻalu atu ki he fonua ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu.
10 and the anger of Jehovah burneth in that day, and He sweareth, saying,
Pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo ne fuakava, ʻo pehē,
11 They do not see — the men who are coming up out of Egypt from a son of twenty years and upward — the ground which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, for they have not been fully after Me;
Ko e moʻoni ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻalu hake mei ʻIsipite, mei he uofulu taʻu ʻo fai hake, ʻe ʻikai tenau mamata ki he fonua ʻaia ne u fuakava ai kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau faʻa muimui kiate au:
12 save Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they have been fully after Jehovah;
Ka ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune mei he fānau ʻo Kenasi, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni: he naʻa na faʻa muimui kia Sihova.
13 and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He causeth them to wander in the wilderness forty years, until the consumption of all the generation which is doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.
Pea naʻe tutu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pule kenau hē fano pe ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, kaeʻoua ke ʻauha ʻae toʻutangata kotoa pē naʻe fai meʻa kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
14 'And lo, ye have risen in the stead of your fathers, an increase of men — sinners, to add yet to the fury of the anger of Jehovah toward Israel;
Pea vakai, kuo mou tuʻu hake ke fetongi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko e fakatokolahi ʻoe kau tangata angahala, ke fakaʻāsili ʻae houhau vela ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli
15 when ye turn back from after Him, then He hath added yet to leave him in the wilderness, and ye have done corruptly to all this people.'
He kapau te mou foki mei he muimui kiate ia, te ne toe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa; pea ʻe ʻauha ʻae kakai ni kotoa pē ʻiate kimoutolu.”
16 And they come nigh unto him, and say, 'Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;
Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu mai kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “Te mau langa ʻi heni ʻae ngaahi lotoʻā sipi ki heʻemau fanga manu, mo e ngaahi kolo ki heʻemau fānau iiki.
17 and we — we are armed hasting before the sons of Israel till that we have brought them in unto their place; and our infants have dwelt in the cities of defence because of the inhabitants of the land;
Ka te mau ʻalu ʻakimautolu ʻo muʻomuʻa mo e mahafu ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kaeʻoua ke mau ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau potu: pea ʻe nofo ʻemau fānau iiki ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoku lotoʻā koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoe fonua.
18 we do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of Israel have inherited each his inheritance,
‌ʻE ʻikai te mau foki ki homau ngaahi fale kaeʻoua ke maʻu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa honau tofiʻa.
19 for we do not inherit with them beyond the Jordan and yonder, for our inheritance hath come unto us beyond the Jordan at the [sun] -rising.'
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te mau nofo fakataha mo kinautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻo Sioatani, pe ki kō atu; koeʻuhi kuo tō homau tofiʻa kiate kimautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻo Sioatani ki he potu hahake ni.
20 And Moses saith unto them, 'If ye do this thing: if ye are armed before Jehovah for battle,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kapau te mou fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea kapau te mou ō mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ke tau,
21 and every armed one of you hath passed over the Jordan before Jehovah, till his dispossessing His enemies from before Him,
Pea kapau te mou ō kotoa pē mo e mahafu ʻo aʻa ʻi Sioatani ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, kaeʻoua ke ne kapusi ʻa hono ngaahi fili mei hono ʻao,
22 and the land hath been subdued before Jehovah — then afterwards ye do turn back, and have been acquitted by Jehovah, and by Israel; and this land hath been to you for a possession before Jehovah.
Pea ʻe vaivai ʻae fonua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea hili ia te mou foki taʻehalaia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo e ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ko e fonua ni ko homou nofoʻanga ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
23 'And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and know ye your sin, that it doth find you;
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fai pehē, vakai, kuo mou angahala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea mou ʻilo pau eni ʻe moʻua ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou angahala.
24 build for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do ye.'
Mou langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ki hoʻomou fānau iiki, mo e ngaahi lotoʻā ki hoʻomou fanga sipi; pea mou fai ʻaia kuo lea ʻaki ʻe homou ngutu.”
25 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto Moses, saying, 'Thy servants do as my lord is commanding;
Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni kia Mōsese, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE fai ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa ʻemau ʻeiki.
26 our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, are there in cities of Gilead,
Ko ʻemau fānau iiki, mo homau ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻemau fanga sipi, mo ʻemau fanga manu kotoa pē, tenau nofo ai ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Kiliati:
27 and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'
Ka ʻe ʻalu atu ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻae tangata taki taha mo ʻene mahafu ke tau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki.”
28 And Moses commandeth concerning them Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel;
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, pea mo e kau mātuʻa ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu:
29 and Moses saith unto them, 'If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over with you the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land hath been subdued before you, then ye have given to them the land of Gilead for a possession;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻe aʻa ʻi Sioatani ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni mo kimoutolu, ʻae tangata taki taha mo e mahafu ke tau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe vaivai ʻae fonua ʻi homou ʻao; te mou toki foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae fonua ko Kiliati ke nau nofo ai.
30 and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.'
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai tenau aʻa ai mo e mahafu ʻo fakataha mo kimoutolu, tenau maʻu ʻae ngaahi tofiʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani.”
31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, 'That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants — so we do;
Pea naʻe leaange ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻe pehē pe ʻemau fai.
32 we — we pass over armed before Jehovah [to] the land of Canaan, and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance beyond the Jordan.'
Te mau aʻa mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ki he fonua ko Kēnani, koeʻuhi ke tō ai kiate kimautolu ʻa homau tofiʻa ʻi he kauvai ki heni ʻo Sioatani.”
33 And Moses giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the land round about.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, ʻio, ki he fānau ʻa Kata, mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea mo e vaeua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ko e foha ʻo Siosefa, ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, mo e puleʻanga ʻo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻae fonua, mo hono ngaahi kolo ʻi he mata fonua, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻoe fonua ʻoku takatakai.
34 And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Pea naʻe langa ʻe he fānau ʻa Kata ʻa Tiponi, mo ʻAtaloti, mo ʻAloeli.
35 and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
Mo ʻAtiloti, mo Sofani, mo Sesa, mo Sokipa,
36 and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defence, and sheepfolds.
Pea mo Petenimila, mo Petehalani, ko e ngaahi kolo lotoʻā: mo e ngaahi lotoʻā ki he fanga sipi.
37 And the sons of Reuben have build Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
Pea naʻe langa ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni ʻa Hesiponi, mo ʻIliale, mo Kesatemi,
38 and Nebo, and Baal-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah, and they call by [these] names the names of the cities which they have built.
Pea mo Nipo, mo Peali-mioni, (kuo liliu honau hingoa), mo Sipima: ʻonau fakahingoa kehe ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻa nau langa.
39 And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who [is] in it;
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase ki Kiliati, ʻo maʻu ia, ʻonau kapusi ʻae kau ʻAmoli naʻe ʻi ai.
40 and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ʻa Kiliati kia Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase; pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi ai.
41 And Jair son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their towns, and calleth them 'Towns of Jair;'
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Saili ko e foha ʻo Manase ʻo ne kapa hono ngaahi potu kakai siʻi, ʻo ui ia ko Havotisaili.
42 and Nobah hath gone and captureth Kenath, and its villages, and calleth it Nobah, by his own name.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Nopa ʻo ne kapa ʻa Kinati, mo hono ngaahi potu kakai siʻi, ʻo ne fakahingoa ia ki hono hingoa ʻoʻona ko Nopa.
