1 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a mĩhĩrĩga ya Rubeni na Gadi, arĩa maarĩ na ndũũru nene cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri, nĩmoonire atĩ mabũrũri ma Jazeri na Gileadi maarĩ mega na mahiũ mao.
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had much cattle, a very great multitude; and they saw the land of Jaazer, and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for cattle.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, o na kũrĩ atongoria a kĩrĩndĩ, makiuga atĩrĩ,
And 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 assembly, saying,
3 “Atarothu, na Diboni, na Jazeri, na Nimura, na Heshiboni, na Eleale, na Sebamu, na Nebo, o na Beoni,
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jaazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 bũrũri ũyũ Jehova aatooririe andũ akuo mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli, nĩ kũndũ kwega kwa mahiũ, na ithuĩ ndungata ciaku tũrĩ na mahiũ.”
the country that Jehovah smote before the assembly of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle;
5 Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩtwĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte harĩ inyuĩ-rĩ, rekei bũrũri ũyũ ũheo ndungata cianyu ũtuĩke witũ. Mũtigatũme tũringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.”
and they said, If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession: bring us not over the Jordan.
6 Musa akĩũria andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni atĩrĩ, “Andũ anyu no mathiĩ ita-inĩ mamũtige mũikarĩte gũkũ?
And Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye abide here?
7 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũũrage ngoro cia andũ a Isiraeli nĩguo matikaringe rũũĩ matoonye bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova amaheete?
And why do ye discourage the children of Israel from going over into the land that Jehovah has given them?
8 Ũguo noguo maithe manyu meekire hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaamarekirie kuuma Kadeshi-Barinea mathiĩ magathigaane bũrũri ũcio.
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land:
9 Thuutha wa kwambata, magĩkinya kĩanda kĩa Eshikoli na makĩĩrorera bũrũri ũcio-rĩ, nĩmatũmire andũ a Isiraeli makue ngoro makĩaga gũtoonya bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova amaheete.
they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, and discouraged the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land that Jehovah had given them.
10 Jehova agĩcinwo nĩ marakara mũthenya ũcio, akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ:
And Jehovah's anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
11 ‘Nĩ ũndũ nĩmagĩte kũnũmĩrĩra na ngoro ciao kũna, hatirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria wa arĩa moimire bũrũri wa Misiri ũkoona bũrũri ũrĩa nderĩire Iburahĩmu na Isaaka, o na Jakubu na mwĩhĩtwa,
If the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob! for they have not wholly followed me;
12 gũtirĩ o na ũmwe tiga Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, ũrĩa Mũkenizi, na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, nĩ ũndũ nĩmarũmĩrĩire Jehova na ngoro ciao kũna.’
save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed Jehovah.
13 Jehova agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli, nake agĩtũma morũũre werũ-inĩ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, o nginya rĩrĩa rũciaro rũu ruothe rwehĩtie maitho-inĩ make rwathirire.
And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation was consumed that had done evil in the eyes of Jehovah.
14 “Na rĩrĩ, mũrĩ haha inyuĩ, inyuĩ rũciaro rũrũ rwa ehia, mũcookete ithenya rĩa maithe manyu nĩguo mũtũme Jehova akĩrĩrĩrie kũrakarĩra Isiraeli.
And behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a progeny of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Jehovah toward Israel.
15 Mũngĩgarũrũka mũtige kũmũrũmĩrĩra-rĩ, nake Jehova nĩegũtiganĩria andũ aya othe gũkũ werũ-inĩ rĩngĩ, na inyuĩ mũtuĩke gĩtũmi gĩa kũmaniinithia.”
If ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16 Nao magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Musa makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũkwenda gwakĩra ũhiũ witũ ciugũ gũkũ, na twakĩre andũ-a-nja aitũ na ciana matũũra manene.
And they drew near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;
17 No rĩrĩ, nĩtwĩhaarĩirie kuoya indo ciitũ cia mbaara na tũthiĩ mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli nginya tũmakinyie kwao. Hĩndĩ ĩyo, andũ-a-nja aitũ na ciana maikarage matũũra manene mairigĩre na hinya, nĩgeetha magitĩrwo kuuma kũrĩ atũũri a bũrũri ũyũ.
but we ourselves will go with diligence armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the strong cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 Tũtigacooka mĩciĩ iitũ o nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũisiraeli o wothe akaamũkĩra igai rĩake.
We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited each one his inheritance.
19 Ithuĩ tũtikaamũkĩra igai hamwe nao mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Jorodani, nĩ ũndũ igai riitũ tũrĩ narĩo mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.”
For we will not inherit with them on yonder side the Jordan, and further, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side the Jordan eastward.
20 Nake Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩĩka ũguo-rĩ, na mwĩohe indo cianyu cia mbaara mbere ya Jehova nĩguo mũkarũe,
And Moses said to them, If ye do this thing, if ye arm yourselves before Jehovah for war,
21 na inyuothe mũngĩthiĩ mwĩohete indo cia mbaara, mũringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova o nginya rĩrĩa akaingata thũ ciake ciume mbere yake,
and all of you that are armed go over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he have dispossessed his enemies from before him,
22 hĩndĩ ĩrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũgaakorwo ũtooretio mbere ya Jehova, hĩndĩ ĩyo no mũcooke mĩciĩ yanyu na muohorwo kuuma kĩĩranĩro kĩanyu kũrĩ Jehova o na kũrĩ Isiraeli. Naguo bũrũri ũyũ nĩũgatuĩka wanyu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and afterwards ye return, ye shall be guiltless toward Jehovah and toward Israel, and this land shall be your possession before Jehovah.
23 “No mũngĩkaaga gwĩka ũguo, nĩmũkehĩria Jehova; na mũmenye na ma atĩ mehia manyu nĩmakamũcookerera.
But if ye do not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Akĩrai andũ-a-nja anyu na ciana matũũra manene na ciugũ cia ndũũru cianyu, no hingiai ũguo mweranĩra.”
Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, and do that which has gone out of your mouth.
25 Andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ ndungata ciaku nĩtũgwĩka o ta ũguo mwathi witũ aathana.
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commands.
26 Ciana ciitũ na atumia aitũ megũikara gũkũ matũũra-inĩ manene ma Gileadi, ũndũ ũmwe na ndũũru ciitũ cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe.
Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27 No ithuĩ ndungata ciaku-rĩ, o mũndũ eyohete indo ciake cia mbaara, nĩtũkũringa mũrĩmo ũũrĩa tũkarũe tũrĩ mbere ya Jehova, o ta ũguo mwathi witũ oiga.”
but thy servants will pass over, every one armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord says.
28 Nake Musa akĩruta watho nĩ ũndũ wao, akĩarĩria Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na atongoria a nyũmba cia mĩhĩrĩga ya andũ a Isiraeli,
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.
29 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni nĩmekũringa Jorodani, o mũndũ wao eyohete indo cia mbaara, marĩ hamwe na inyuĩ marĩ mbere ya Jehova-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũgatoorio mbere yanyu, nĩmũkamahe bũrũri wa Gileadi ũtuĩke wao.
And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30 No mangĩaga kũringa hamwe na inyuĩ meeohete indo ciao cia mbaara, no nginya metĩkĩre igai rĩao hamwe na inyuĩ bũrũri wa Kaanani.”
but if they do not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31 Andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ciaku nĩ igwĩka o ta ũguo Jehova oigĩte.
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Jehovah has said to thy servants, so will we do.
32 Nĩtũkũringa tũrĩ mbere ya Jehova tũtoonye bũrũri wa Kaanani twĩohete indo cia mbaara, no kũndũ kũrĩa ithuĩ tũkaagaya-rĩ, gũgaakorwo kũrĩ mbarĩ ĩno ya Jorodani.”
We will pass over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side the Jordan shall be ours.
33 Musa akĩhe andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu, bũrũri ũrĩa wothe wathamakagwo nĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, na ũrĩa wothe wathamakagwo nĩ Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, akĩmahe bũrũri ũcio wothe, na matũũra manene makuo o na ngʼongo iria ciamarigiicĩirie.
And Moses gave to them, 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 the king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and territories, the cities of the land round about.
34 Andũ a Gadi nĩmakire Diboni, na Atarothu, na Aroeri,
And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 na Atarothu-Shofani, na Jazeri, na Jogibeha,
and Atroth-Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbebah,
36 na Bethi-Nimira, na Bethi-Harani, maarĩ matũũra manene mairigĩre na hinya na magĩakĩra ndũũru ciao cia mbũri ciugũ.
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-haran, strong cities, and sheepfolds.
37 Nao andũ a Rubeni magĩaka Heshiboni, na Eleale, na Kiriathaimu rĩngĩ,
— And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Kirjathaim,
38 o ũndũ ũmwe na Nebo na Baali-Meoni (marĩĩtwa macio nĩmagarũrirwo) na Sibima. Nao makĩhe matũũra macio manene maakire marĩĩtwa mangĩ.
and Nebo, and Baal-meon (of which the names were changed), and Sibmah; and they gave other names to the cities that they built.
39 Nacio njiaro cia Makiru mũrũ wa Manase igĩthiĩ Gileadi, magĩkwĩnyiitĩra na makĩingata Aamori arĩa maarĩ kuo.
— And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and they dispossessed the Amorites that were therein.
40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩheana Gileadi kũrĩ andũ a Makiru, acio njiaro cia Manase, nao magĩtũũra kuo.
And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41 Na rĩrĩ, Jairu wa rũciaro rwa Manase, akĩĩnyiitĩra tũtũũra twa Gileadi na agĩtwĩta Havothu-Jairu.
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took their hamlets, and called them Havoth-Jair.
42 Nake Noba akĩĩnyiitĩra Kenathu, na tũtũũra tũrĩa twagũthiũrũrũkĩirie agĩtwĩta Noba, o ta ũrĩa we eetagwo.
And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its dependent villages, and called it Nobah, after his name.
