Mose 4 32

1 Esi Israelviwo ɖo Yazer kple Gileadnyigbawo dzi la, Ruben kple Gad ƒe towo, ame siwo si alẽha gãwo le la kpɔ be anyigba la nyo ŋutɔ na lãnyinyi.

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,

2 Eya ta wogblɔ na Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar kple toawo ƒe kplɔlawo be,

the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying:

3 “Atarɔt, Dibon, Yazer, Nimra, Hesbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo kple Beon ƒe

'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 anyigba siwo Yehowa xɔ le Israelviwo ŋkume la nyo na lãnyinyi, eye lãwo le wò dɔlawo si.

the land which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'

5 Ne eve mía nu la ekema míeɖe kuku tsɔ anyigba sia na mí ɖe anyigba si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ teƒe.”

And they said: 'If we have found favour in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.'

6 Mose bia wo be, “Ɖe miedi be yewoatsi afi sia ne mia nɔviwo ya natso tɔsisi la, eye woawo ɖeɖe nayi aɖawɔ aʋa kple afi ma tɔwoa?

And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: 'Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here?

7 Ɖe miedi be yewoaɖe dzi le Israelviwo ƒo be womagatso tɔsisi la ayi aɖaxɔ anyigba si ƒe ŋugbe Yehowa do na wo oa?

And wherefore will ye turn away the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

8 Nu sia tɔgbi tututu mia tɔgbiwo wɔ kpɔ! Meɖo wo ɖa be woaɖatsa ŋku le Kades Barneanyigba dzi.

Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

9 Esi wowu ŋkutsatsa la nu, eye wotrɔ tso Eskɔl ƒe balime gbɔ la, woɖe dzi le Israelviwo ƒo le Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi yiyi ŋu.

For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they turned away the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

10 Yehowa do dɔmedzoe gbe ma gbe, eye woka atam sia be,

And the LORD'S anger was kindled in that day, and He swore, saying:

11 ‘Esi miedze yonyeme kple dzi blibo o ta la, ame siwo xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema, ame siwo tso Egipte la dometɔ ɖeka pɛ hã makpɔ anyigba si ŋugbe medo kple atam na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob o.

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed Me;

12 Wo dometɔ siwo ko ade Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzie nye Kaleb, Yefune, Kenizitɔ la ƒe viŋutsu kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu, elabena woawo dze Yehowa yome kple woƒe dzi blibo, eye wode dzi ƒo na ameawo be woayi Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi.’

save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed the LORD.

13 Yehowa na míetsa tsaglalã le gbedzi ƒe blaene va se ɖe esime dzidzime vɔ̃ɖi ma tsrɔ̃ keŋkeŋ.

And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

14 “Ke miawo hã, mi vɔ̃ wɔlawo ƒe dzidzimeviwo, miegale nu ma tututu wɔm! Miawo miesɔ gbɔ wu woawo, eya ta Yehowa ƒe dziku ɖe miawo ŋu nu asẽ ɖe miawo dzi fifia wu ɖe woawo dzi.

And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a brood of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

15 Ne mietrɔ ɖa tso Mawu gbɔ alea la, ana ameawo naganɔ gbea dzi ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe wu, eye miahe ku vɛ na ameawo kple dzɔgbevɔ̃e va dukɔ blibo la dzi!”

For if ye turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and so ye will destroy all this people.'

16 Woɖo eŋu be, “Míawɔ nenema o, ke boŋ míatu lãkpowo na míaƒe lãwo, eye míatso duwo na mía viwo ɖe afi sia.

And they came near unto him, and said: 'We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;

17 Míawo ŋutɔ míabla akpa, adze ŋgɔ na Israelvi bubuawo va se ɖe esime míakplɔ wo, woƒe asi naka woƒe domenyinu la dedie. Ke ele be míatso duwo, aɖo gli aƒo xlã wo na mía srɔ̃wo kple mía viwo gbã, ale be afi sia tɔwo maho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu o.

but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

18 Míatsi afi sia o, va se ɖe esime Israelviwo katã ƒe asi asu woƒe domenyinu la dzi.

We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

19 Míedi anyigba si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ o; míedi esi le tɔsisi la ƒe akpa sia, le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.”

For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.'

20 Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Enyo; ne miawɔ ɖe nya si miegblɔ dzi, abla akpa hena aʋawɔwɔ na Yehowa,

And Moses said unto them: 'If ye will do this thing: if ye will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,

21 eye miana miaƒe aʋawɔlawo nanɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ va se ɖe esime Yehowa nanya eƒe futɔwo ɖa la,

and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until He hath driven out His enemies from before Him,

22 ekema ne míeɖu futɔwo dzi mlɔeba le Yehowa ŋkume la, miatrɔ ava afi sia, elabena miawu miaƒe dɔdeasiwo nu na Yehowa kple Israelvi bubuawo katã. Ekema anyigba si le tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la azu mia tɔ tso Yehowa gbɔ.

and the land be subdued before the LORD, and ye return afterward; then ye shall be clear before the LORD, and before Israel, and this land shall be unto you for a possession before the LORD.

23 “Ke ne miawɔ ɖe nya si miegblɔ dzi o la, ekema miawɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa ŋu. Minya be miaƒe nu vɔ̃ ƒe tohehe ava mia dzi kokoko.

But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD; and know ye your sin which will find you.

24 Mitso duwo na mia srɔ̃wo kple mia viwo, mitu lãkpowo na miaƒe lãwo, eye miwɔ nu siwo katã miegblɔ be yewoawɔ.”

Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.'

25 Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo gblɔ be, “Míawɔ nu siwo katã nàɖo na mí be míawɔ la tututu.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

26 Mía viwo kple mía srɔ̃wo, míaƒe alẽwo kple nyiwo anɔ afi sia le Gilead du la me.

Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;

27 Ke mí aʋawɔlawo katã ya la, míatso tɔsisi la ayi aɖawɔ aʋa na Yehowa abe ale si míaƒe aƒetɔ gblɔ ene.”

but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.'

28 Mose lɔ̃ ɖe edzi, eye wògblɔ na nunɔla Eleazar kple Yosua kple Israelviwo ƒe towo ƒe kplɔlawo be,

So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.

29 “Ne ame siwo wotia tso Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo dome be woayi aɖawɔ aʋa na Yehowa dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la kple mi la, ekema ne miexɔ anyigba la le futɔwo si la, miatsɔ Gileadnyigba ana wo.

And Moses said unto them: 'If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;

30 Ke ne wogbe la, ekema woaxɔ anyigba le Kanaanyigba la dzi, le mi ame bubuawo dome.”

but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.'

31 Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo gagblɔ be, “Míawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo dzi.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying: 'As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

32 Míabla akpa nyuie adze Yehowa yome ayi Kanaan, ke míawo ya ƒe anyigba anɔ Yɔdan ƒe akpa sia.”

We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.'

33 Ale Mose tsɔ Amoritɔwo ƒe fia, Sixɔn kple Basantɔwo ƒe fia, Ɔg, ƒe anyigbawo kple duwo katã na Gad kple Ruben ƒe dzidzimeviwo kple Manase, Yosef ƒe viŋutsu ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe afã.

And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half-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, according to the cities thereof with their borders, even the cities of the land round about.

34 Du siwo Gad ƒe viwo tso la woe nye: Dibon, Atarɔt kple Aroer,

And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer;

35 Atrɔt Sofan, Yazer kple Yogbeha,

and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah;

36 Bet Nimra kple Bet Haran. Woɖo gli ƒo xlã du siawo katã, eye lãkpowo nɔ wo me.

and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran; fortified cities, and folds for sheep.

37 Du siwo Ruben ƒe viwo tso la woe nye: Hesbon, Eleale kple Kiriataim,

And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim;

38 Nebo, Baal Meon kple Sibma. Emegbe la, Israelviwo trɔ ŋkɔ na du siawo dometɔ siwo woxɔ hegbugbɔ tu la.

and Nebo, and Baal-meon — their names being changed — and Sibmah; and gave their names unto the cities which they builded.

39 Manase ƒe viŋutsu, Makir yi Gileadnyigba dzi, nya Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ afi ma la ɖa, eye wòxɔe.

And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein.

40 Ale Mose tsɔ Gileadnyigba na Manase ƒe vi Makir eye wonɔ afi ma.

And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

41 Manase ƒe viŋutsu, Yair ƒe dzidzimeviwo nɔ du geɖewo me le Gileadnyigba dzi. Wotrɔ ŋkɔ na woƒe nɔƒe be, Havrɔtyair, si gɔmee nye Yair ƒe duwo.

And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the villages thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair.

42 Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, ŋutsu aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Noba la kplɔ aʋakɔ aɖe yi Kenat kple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe la me, eye wòxɔ wo. Etsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe ŋkɔ na teƒe la be Noba.

And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
