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.
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;
2 Eya ta wogblɔ na Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar kple toawo ƒe kplɔlawo be,
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:
3 “Atarɔt, Dibon, Yazer, Nimra, Hesbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo kple Beon ƒe
'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, 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 Jehovah hath smitten before the company 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 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.'
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 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?
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 why discourage ye the heart of the sons of Israel from passing over unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them?
8 Nu sia tɔgbi tututu mia tɔgbiwo wɔ kpɔ! Meɖo wo ɖa be woaɖatsa ŋku le Kades Barneanyigba dzi.
'Thus did your fathers in my sending 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.
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;
10 Yehowa do dɔmedzoe gbe ma gbe, eye woka atam sia be,
and the anger of Jehovah burneth in that day, and He sweareth, 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.
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;
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 son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they have been fully after Jehovah;
13 Yehowa na míetsa tsaglalã le gbedzi ƒe blaene va se ɖe esime dzidzime vɔ̃ɖi ma tsrɔ̃ keŋkeŋ.
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.
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 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;
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!”
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.'
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 come nigh unto him, and say, 'Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;
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.
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;
18 Míatsi afi sia o, va se ɖe esime Israelviwo katã ƒe asi asu woƒe domenyinu la dzi.
we do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of Israel have inherited each 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 do not inherit with them beyond the Jordan and yonder, for our inheritance hath come unto us beyond the Jordan at the [sun] -rising.'
20 Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Enyo; ne miawɔ ɖe nya si miegblɔ dzi, abla akpa hena aʋawɔwɔ na Yehowa,
And Moses saith unto them, 'If ye do this thing: if ye are armed before Jehovah for battle,
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 one of you hath passed over the Jordan before Jehovah, till his dispossessing 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 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.
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.
'And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and know ye your sin, that it doth 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 for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do ye.'
25 Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo gblɔ be, “Míawɔ nu siwo katã nàɖo na mí be míawɔ la tututu.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto Moses, saying, 'Thy servants do as my lord is commanding;
26 Mía viwo kple mía srɔ̃wo, míaƒe alẽwo kple nyiwo anɔ afi sia le Gilead du la me.
our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, are there in 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.”
and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'
28 Mose lɔ̃ ɖe edzi, eye wògblɔ na nunɔla Eleazar kple Yosua kple Israelviwo ƒe towo ƒe kplɔlawo be,
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;
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 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;
30 Ke ne wogbe la, ekema woaxɔ anyigba le Kanaanyigba la dzi, le mi ame bubuawo dome.”
and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.'
31 Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo gagblɔ be, “Míawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo dzi.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, 'That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants — so we do;
32 Míabla akpa nyuie adze Yehowa yome ayi Kanaan, ke míawo ya ƒe anyigba anɔ Yɔdan ƒe akpa sia.”
we — we pass over armed before Jehovah [to] the land of Canaan, and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance 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 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.
