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 sons of Ruben and of Gad had many herds, and their substance in cattle was inestimable. And when they had seen that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were suitable for feeding animals,
2 yo vin jwenn Moyiz, Eleaza, prèt la, ak chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo, yo di yo konsa:
they went to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the multitude, and they said:
3 -Tout rejyon kote nou jwenn lavil sa yo: Atawo, Dibon, Jazè, Nimra, Esbon, Eleyale, Sèbam, Nebo ak Biyon,
“Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and 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.
the land, which the Lord has struck in the sight of the sons of Israel, is a very fertile region for pasturing animals. And we, your servants, have very many cattle.
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.
And so we beseech you, if we have found favor before you, that you give it to us, your subjects, as a possession, and that you not cause us cross the Jordan.”
6 Moyiz reponn yo: -Nou ta renmen rete isit la pandan lòt frè nou yo pral nan goumen?
And Moses answered them: “Should your brothers go to battle, 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 do you subvert the minds of the sons of Israel, so that they might not dare to cross into the place which the Lord will give to 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.
Did not your fathers act in the same way, when I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to explore 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.
And when they had gone all the way to the Valley of the Cluster of Grapes, having viewed the entire region, they subverted the hearts of the sons of Israel, so that they would not enter into the parts that the Lord gave to them.
10 Jou sa a, Seyè a te move anpil sou yo. Li sèmante, li di konsa:
And being angry, the Lord 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,
‘These men, who ascended out of Egypt, from twenty years and above, will not see the land, which I have promised under an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For they were not willing to follow me,
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.
except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; these have fulfilled my will.’
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.
And the Lord, being angry against Israel, led them in a course through the desert for forty years, until the entire generation, which had done evil in his sight, was consumed.
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.
And behold,” he said, “you have risen up in the place of your fathers, the offshoots and the nurslings of sinful men, in order to augment the fury 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.
But if you are not willing to follow him, he will leave the people behind in the wilderness, and you will have been the cause of all our deaths.”
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.
But approaching closer, they said: “We will manufacture sheep pens and cattle stalls, as well as fortified 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 ourselves will continue on, armed and girded for battle, before the sons of Israel, until we lead them to their places. Our little ones, and whatever we may be able to have, shall be in walled cities, because of the treachery of the inhabitants.
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 houses, even until the sons of Israel may possess their 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.
Neither will we seek anything across the Jordan, because we already have our possession on its eastern side.”
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,
And Moses said to them: “If you accomplish what you have promised, you may go out, equipped for battle, before the Lord.
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 let every fighting man cross over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrows his enemies,
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.
and all the land is subjected to him. Then you will be guiltless with the Lord and with Israel, and you will obtain the regions which you desire 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 what you have said, no one could doubt that you will have sinned against God. And know this: your sin shall overtake you.
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.
Therefore, build cities for your little ones, and pens and stables for your sheep and cattle; and fulfill 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.
And the sons of Gad and of Ruben said to Moses: “We are your servants, we shall do what you, our ruler, orders.
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,
We will leave behind our little ones, and our wives, and the sheep and cattle, 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.
And we, your servants, all well-equipped, will go forth to battle, just as you, our ruler, has spoken.”
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.
Therefore, Moses instructed Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the princes of the families throughout the tribes of Israel, and he said to them:
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.
“If the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben cross over the Jordan with you, all armed for war before the Lord, and if the land becomes subject to you, give them 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 are not willing to cross with you, armed, into the land of Canaan, then let them receive places among you for their dwellings.”
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.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben responded: “Just as the Lord has spoken to his servants, so shall we 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 go forth, armed, before the Lord into the land of Canaan; and we acknowledge that we have already received our possession across 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.
And so, Moses gave to the sons of Gad and of Ruben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and their land with its surrounding cities.
34 Moun fanmi Gad yo rebati tout lavil sa yo: Dibon, Atawòt, Awoyè,
Therefore, the sons of Gad built up Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Atawo, Sofam, Jaze ak Jobeya,
and Atroth and Shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
36 Bèt-Nimra, Bèt aran. Yo rebati yo avèk ranpa pou pwoteje yo, yo fè pak tou pou mouton ak kabrit.
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, as fortified cities with pens for their cattle.
37 Moun fanmi Woubenn yo menm rebati lavil sa yo: Esbon, Elealè, Kiryatayim,
Yet truly, the sons of Ruben built up Heshbon, and Elealeh, and 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.
and Nebo, and Baal-meon (their names having been changed) and Sibmah, appointing names for the cities which they had built.
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.
Moreover, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, continued on within Gilead, and they devastated it, putting to death its inhabitant, the Amorite.
40 Se konsa tou, Moyiz bay moun fanmi Maki, pitit gason Manase a, peyi Galarad la pou yo rete.
Therefore, Moses gave the land of Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh, and he lived in it.
41 Moun fanmi Jayi, pitit gason Manase a, al atake yon seri ti bouk. Yo anvayi yo epi yo rele yo Bouk Jayi.
But Jair, the son of Manasseh, went out and occupied its villages, which he called Havoth Jair, that is, the Villages of 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.
Likewise, Nobah went forth and captured Kenath with its villages. And he called it by his own name, Nobah.
