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,
And the sons of Ruben and Gad had many flocks of cattle, and their substance in beasts was infinite. And when they saw the lands of Jazer and Galaad fit for feeding cattle,
2 yo vin jwenn Moyiz, Eleaza, prèt la, ak chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo, yo di yo konsa:
They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and 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 Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, 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 hath conquered in the sight of the children of Israel, is a very fertile soil for the feeding of beasts: and we thy servants have very much 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 we pray thee, if we have found favour in thy sight, that thou give it to us thy servants in possession, and make us not pass over the Jordan.
6 Moyiz reponn yo: -Nou ta renmen rete isit la pandan lòt frè nou yo pral nan goumen?
And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will 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 ye overturn the minds of the children of Israel, that they may not dare to pass into the place which the Lord hath 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.
Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view 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 were come as far as the valley of the cluster, having viewed all the country, they overturned the hearts of the children of Israel, that they should not enter into the coasts, which the Lord gave them.
10 Jou sa a, Seyè a te move anpil sou yo. Li sèmante, li di konsa:
And he swore in his anger, 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,
If these men, that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land, which I promised with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: because they would not 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 Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue 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 about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that 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, said he, you are risen up instead of your fathers, the increase and offspring of sinful men, 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.
For if you will not follow him, he will leave the people in the wilderness, and you shall be the cause of the destruction of all.
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 they coming near, said: We will make sheepfolds, and stalls for our cattle, and strong cities for our children:
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.
And we ourselves will go armed and ready for battle before the children of Israel, until we bring them in unto their places. Our little ones, and all we have, shall be in walled cities, for fear of the ambushes 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 into our houses until the children of Israel 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 any thing beyond the Jordan, because we have already our possession on the east side thereof,
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 do what you promise, go on well appointed for war 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 pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow 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 be brought under him, then shall you be blameless before the Lord and before Israel, and you shall obtain the countries that 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 what you say, no man can doubt but you sin against God: and know ye, that 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.
Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish 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 children of Gad and Ruben said to Moses: We are thy servants, we will do what my lord commandeth.
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 our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad:
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 thy servants all well appointed will march on to the war, as thou, my lord, speakest.
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.
Moses therefore commanded Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families of all the tribes of Israel, and 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 children of Gad, and the children of Ruben pass with you over the Jordan, all armed for war before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you: give them Galaad in 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 will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you.
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 children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so will 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 armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and we confess that we have already received our possession beyond 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.
Moses therefore gave to the children of Cad and of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasses the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and their land and the cities thereof round about.
34 Moun fanmi Gad yo rebati tout lavil sa yo: Dibon, Atawòt, Awoyè,
And the sons of Cad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Atawo, Sofam, Jaze ak Jobeya,
And Etroth, and Sophan, and Jazer, and Jegbaa,
36 Bèt-Nimra, Bèt aran. Yo rebati yo avèk ranpa pou pwoteje yo, yo fè pak tou pou mouton ak kabrit.
And Bethnemra, and Betharan, fenced cities, and folds for their cattle.
37 Moun fanmi Woubenn yo menm rebati lavil sa yo: Esbon, Elealè, Kiryatayim,
But the children of Ruben built Hesebon, and Eleale, and Cariathaim,
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 Nabo, and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Sabama: giving names to 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 children of Machir, the son of Manasses, went into Galaad, and wasted it, cutting off the Amorrhites, the inhabitants thereof.
40 Se konsa tou, Moyiz bay moun fanmi Maki, pitit gason Manase a, peyi Galarad la pou yo rete.
And Moses gave the land of Galaad to Machir the son of Manasses, and he dwelt 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.
And Jair the son of Manasses went, and took the villages thereof, and he called them Havoth Jair, that is to say, 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.
Nobe also went, and took Canath with the villages thereof: and he called it by his own name, Nobe.
