Resansman 32
1 Moun branch fanmi Woubenn ak moun branch fanmi Gad yo te gen anpil anpil bèt. Lè yo wè jan peyi Jazè a ak peyi Galarad la te bon pou fè gadinaj,
Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.
2 yo vin jwenn Moyiz, Eleaza, prèt la, ak chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo, yo di yo konsa:
So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
3 -Tout rejyon kote nou jwenn lavil sa yo: Atawo, Dibon, Jazè, Nimra, Esbon, Eleyale, Sèbam, Nebo ak Biyon,
“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 tout peyi Seyè a te ede moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran pou yo bò isit la, se tè ki bon pou fè gadinaj, lèfini nou menm nou gen anpil bèt.
which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”
5 Tanpri, si ou vle fè nou favè sa a, ban nou peyi sa a pou pòsyon pa nou. Pa fòse nou janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.
“If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”
6 Moyiz reponn yo: -Nou ta renmen rete isit la pandan lòt frè nou yo pral nan goumen?
But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7 Poukisa nou vle dekouraje moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo pa ale nan peyi Seyè a ba yo a?
Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?
8 Se menm bagay la zansèt nou yo te fè wi lè mwen te voye yo ale vizite peyi a antan nou te Kadès Banea.
This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.
9 Yo moute jouk nan ravin Echkòl la, yo vizite tout peyi a. Apre sa, yo dekouraje moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo pa antre nan peyi Seyè a te ba yo a.
For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.
10 Jou sa a, Seyè a te move anpil sou yo. Li sèmante, li di konsa:
So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
11 Okenn nan gason ki te gen ventan osinon ki te pi gran lè yo te soti kite peyi Lejip p'ap mete pwent pye yo nan peyi mwen te pwomèt sou sèman m'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la, paske yo pa t' kenbe pawòl yo ak mwen,
‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—
12 an wetan Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune, moun fanmi Kenaz yo, ak Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan. Se yo menm sèlman ki te toujou swiv Seyè a san mank.
not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’
13 Se konsa, Seyè a fè yon sèl move sou pèp Izrayèl la, li fè yo moute desann nan dezè a pandan karantan, jouk dènye moun ki te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a mouri.
The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.
14 Epi koulye a, nou vle fè tankou papa nou yo? Ou byen wè se pitit yo nou ye vre! Nou pral fè Seyè a pi move ankò sou pèp Izrayèl la.
Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.
15 Si nou vire do nou ba li, l'a fè pèp la rete pi lontan ankò nan dezè a. Se nou menm ki va lakòz pèp la fini nèt.
For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”
16 Yo pwoche bò Moyiz, yo di l' konsa: -Pou konmanse, nou ta renmen moute kloti ak wòch pou fèmen pak bèt nou yo, epi nou ta renmen bati lavil ak ranpa pou pitit nou yo.
Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.
17 Men, nou menm gason yo, nou tou pare pou n' ale goumen ansanm ak rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo, pou nou pran devan lè n'ap atake lènmi jouk yo rive nan peyi ki pou yo a. Pandan tan sa a, moun pa nou yo menm va rete isit la nan lavil ak ranpa yo kote moun peyi a p'ap ka fè yo anyen.
But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.
18 Nou p'ap tounen lakay nou toutotan tout lòt moun nan pèp Izrayèl la poko jwenn pòsyon tè ki pou yo a.
We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.
19 Nou p'ap pran anyen nan tè ki pou yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, paske yo ban nou tè ki bò isit larivyè Jouden an, sou kote solèy leve a, pou pòsyon pa nou.
Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”
20 Moyiz di yo konsa: -Si nou fè tou sa nou sot di la a, si vreman vre nou pare pou n' al goumen devan Seyè a,
Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,
21 si tout gason ki ka goumen pami nou yo janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an devan Seyè a, jouk Seyè a va fin kraze tout lènmi l' yo devan li,
and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,
22 enben, apre tout peyi a va tonbe anba men Seyè a, n'a tounen vin lakay nou, paske n'a fin fè tou sa nou te dwe fè pou Seyè a ak pou pèp Izrayèl la. Lè sa a, tout peyi ki bò isit la va rele nou pa nou devan Seyè a.
then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.
23 Men, si nou pa fè tou sa, konnen se kont Seyè a menm n'a peche. N'a peye konsekans peche nou an.
But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.
24 Nou mèt bati lavil ak ranpa pou moun pa nou yo. Nou mèt moute lantouraj pou mete bèt nou yo nan pak. Men, se pou nou fè sa nou pwomèt n'ap fè a.
Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
25 Moun fanmi Woubenn yo ak moun fanmi Gad yo di konsa: -Mèt, n'ap fè tou sa ou mande nou fè.
The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
26 Pitit nou yo va rete nan lavil ki nan peyi Galarad yo ansanm ak madanm nou yo ak tout bèf, tout mouton ak tout kabrit nou yo,
Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
27 Men, nou menm gason ki pare pou n' al goumen yo, n'ap pase devan Seyè a pou n' al fè lagè jan ou di l' la.
But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”
28 Lè sa a, Moyiz bay Eleaza, prèt la, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la lòd sa a sou moun sa yo.
So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.
29 Li di yo: -Si gason nan branch fanmi Woubenn ak nan branch fanmi Gad yo janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an avèk nou tou pare pou y' al goumen devan Seyè a, lè tout peyi a va anba men nou, n'a ba yo tè peyi Galarad la pou yo.
And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
30 Men, si yo pa janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou y' al goumen avèk nou, y'a resevwa pòsyon tè pa yo nan peyi Kanaran an ansanm ak nou.
But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan.”
31 Mesye branch fanmi Woubenn ak branch fanmi Gad yo reponn Moyiz, yo di l' konsa: -N'a fè tou sa Seyè a mande nou fè. Se sèvitè li nou ye.
The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.
32 N'a janbe lòt bò larivyè a tou pare pou n' al goumen devan Seyè a, n'a antre nan peyi Kanaran an. Men toutjan, nou mande pou yo ban nou pòsyon tè ki bò isit larivyè Jouden an pou nou.
We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”
33 Se konsa Moyiz pran tout peyi Amori ki te pou wa Siyon, ak peyi Bazan ki te pou wa Og, avèk tout lavil ki nan limit fwontyè peyi yo, li bay moun fanmi Gad yo, moun fanmi Woubenn yo ak mwatye moun ki nan fanmi Manase, pitit gason Jozèf la.
So Moses gave to the Gadites, to the Reubenites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.
34 Moun fanmi Gad yo rebati tout lavil sa yo: Dibon, Atawòt, Awoyè,
And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atawo, Sofam, Jaze ak Jobeya,
Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Bèt-Nimra, Bèt aran. Yo rebati yo avèk ranpa pou pwoteje yo, yo fè pak tou pou mouton ak kabrit.
Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.
37 Moun fanmi Woubenn yo menm rebati lavil sa yo: Esbon, Elealè, Kiryatayim,
The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Meyon ak Sibma. Yo te chanje non lavil Nebo ak Baal Meyon. Yo bay tout lavil yo rebati yo lòt non.
as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.
39 Moun fanmi Maki, pitit gason Manase a, pati pou peyi Galarad kote moun Amori yo te rete a. Yo anvayi tout peyi a, yo mete moun Amori yo deyò.
The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
40 Se konsa tou, Moyiz bay moun fanmi Maki, pitit gason Manase a, peyi Galarad la pou yo rete.
So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
41 Moun fanmi Jayi, pitit gason Manase a, al atake yon seri ti bouk. Yo anvayi yo epi yo rele yo Bouk Jayi.
Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.
42 Noba menm al atake lavil Kenat ak lòt ti bouk ki sou lòd li yo. l' anvayi l', epi li ba li non l'. Li rele l' Noba.
And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
