Resansman 32
1 Alò, fis Ruben yo avèk fis Gad yo te gen vrèman yon gran kantite bèt. Konsa, lè yo te wè teren nan Jaezer a ak peyi a Galaad la, ke li te vrèman yon kote ki bon pou bèt.
The tribes of Reuben and Gad had large numbers of livestock and saw that the land of Jazer and Gilead was a good place to rear them.
2 Fis a Gad avèk fis a Ruben yo te vin pale avèk Moïse ak Éléazar, prèt la, avèk chèf kongregasyon an. Yo te di yo,
So they came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the Israelite leaders and said,
3 “Atharoth, Dibon, Jaezer, Nimra, Hesbon Elealé, Sebam, Nebo ak Beon,
“The towns of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 peyi ke SENYÈ a te bat devan kongregasyon Israël yo, se yon peyi ki pou pran swen bèt, e sèvitè ou yo gen bèt.”
which the Lord conquered in full view of the Israelites, are well-suited for the livestock that we your servants own.”
5 Yo te di: “Si nou twouve favè nan zye ou, kite peyi sa a vin bay a sèvitè ou yo kòm yon posesyon. Pa mennen nou lòtbò Jourdain an.”
They continued, “Please respond to our request favorably: give us this land. Don't make us cross the Jordan.”
6 Men Moïse te di a fis Gad yo e a fis Ruben yo: “Èske frè nou yo va ale nan lagè, pou nou menm rete chita isit la?
In reply Moses asked the tribes of Gad and Reuben, “Are you expecting your brothers to go and fight while you just sit here?
7 Koulye a, poukisa nou ap dekouraje fis Israël yo travèse lòtbò a pou antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te ba yo a?
Why discourage the Israelites from crossing into the country that the Lord has given them?
8 Se sa ke papa nou yo te fè lè mwen te voye yo sòti nan Kadès-Barnéa pou wè peyi a.
This is just what your fathers did when I sent them out from Kadesh-barnea to explore the land.
9 Paske, lè yo te monte nan vale Eschcol pou te wè peyi a, yo te dekouraje fis Israël yo jiskaske yo pa t antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te ba yo a.
After your fathers traveled up the valley of Eshcol and explored the land, they discouraged the Israelites, persuading them not to enter the country that the Lord had given them.
10 “Konsa, kòlè SENYÈ a te brile nan jou sa a, Li te sèmante, e te di:
As a result, they made the Lord very angry that day, and he swore this oath,
11 ‘Okenn nan mesye sa yo ki monte kite Égypte, ki gen laj plis ke ventan p ap wè peyi ke Mwen te sèmante a Abraham, Isaac, e a Jacob la; paske yo pa t swiv Mwen nèt,
‘Not a single one of those I saved from Egypt who is twenty years old or older will ever see the land I promised with an oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they were not completely committed to me—
12 sof Caleb, fis a Jephunné a, Kenizyen an, ak Josué, fis a Nun nan, paske yo te swiv SENYÈ a nèt.’
no one except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua, son of Nun, because they were completely committed to me.’
13 Konsa, chalè a SENYÈ a te brile kont Israël, e Li te fè yo vin egare nan dezè a pandan karantan, jiskaske tout jenerasyon sa a pami sila ki te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a yo, te vin detwi.
The Lord was angry with Israel, and made them wander around in the desert for forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in his sight had died.
14 “Koulye a, veye byen, nou te vin leve nan plas papa nou yo, yon nich moun plen peche, pou vin mete menm plis sou kòlè SENYÈ a kont Israël.
Now look at you, you brood of sinners who have come to take your fathers' place to make the Lord even angrier with Israel!
15 Paske si nou vire akote, e nou pa swiv Li, Li va, yon fwa, ankò abandone yo nan dezè a; epi nou va detwi tout pèp sa yo.”
If you give up following him, he will abandon these people in the desert once again, and their deaths will be your fault!”
16 Alò, yo te vin pwoche li e te di: “Nou va bati isit la pak mouton pou bèt nou yo ak vil pou pitit nou yo;
Then the tribes of Gad and Reuben came to Moses and told him, “We would plan to build stone walls to keep our livestock safe and towns for our children.
17 men nou, nou menm, nou va pran zam tou prepare pou ale devan fis Israël yo, jiskaske nou enstale yo nan plas yo. Pandan pitit nou yo ap viv nan vil fòtifye akoz sila k ap viv nan peyi yo.
But we will still get ourselves ready for battle, and we will be prepared to lead the Israelites until they can safely occupy their land. In the meantime, our children will stay behind, living in the fortified towns to protect them from the local people.
18 Nou p ap retounen lakay nou jiskaske chak moun nan fis Israël yo gen tan posede eritaj pa yo.
We won't return to our homes until every Israelite is in possession of their allotted land.
19 Paske nou p ap gen yon eritaj avèk yo lòtbò Jourdain an, oswa pi lwen, paske eritaj pa nou an te tonbe bannou nan kote Jourdain a sila a, vè lès la.”
However, we won't own any land on the other side of the Jordan because we've received this land to own on this eastern side of the Jordan.”
20 Konsa Moïse te di yo: “Si nou va fè sa, si nou va pran zam nou yo devan SENYÈ a pou fè lagè a,
Moses responded, “If this is what you will actually do, if you will get yourselves ready for battle under the Lord's direction,
21 epi nou tout mesye avèk zam yo travèse Jourdain a devan SENYÈ a jiskaske Li pouse lènmi Li yo soti devan Li,
and if all your troops cross the Jordan with the Lord until he has driven out his enemies ahead of him,
22 epi peyi a vin anba kontwòl devan SENYÈ a. Alò, apre nou va retounen, lib de angajman yo vè SENYÈ a, ak vè Israël. Konsa, peyi sila a va pou nou kòm yon posesyon devan SENYÈ a.
then once the country is conquered with the Lord's help then you may return, and you will have fulfilled your obligations to the Lord and to Israel. You will own this land, granted to you by the Lord.
23 “Men si nou pa fè sa, veye byen, nou te peche kont SENYÈ a, e fòk nou konnen ke peche nou va vin jwenn nou.
But if you fail to do this, you will clearly be sinning against the Lord, and the consequences of your sin will catch up with you.
24 Bati pou nou menm gran vil pou pitit nou yo, pak pou mouton nou yo, e fè sa ke nou te pwomèt yo.”
Go ahead and build towns for your children and stone walls for your flocks, but make sure you do what you've promised!”
25 Fis a Gad avèk fis a Ruben yo te pale avèk Moïse. Yo te di: “Sèvitè ou yo va fè ojis sa ke mèt mwen kòmande yo a.
The tribes of Gad and Reuben promised Moses, “Sir, we your servants will do just as you have ordered.
26 Pitit nou yo, madanm nou yo, ak bèt nou yo va rete nan vil Galaad yo;
Our wives and children, our livestock and all our animals, will all remain here in the towns of Gilead.
27 pandan sèvitè ou yo, chak ki gen zam pou fè lagè, va travèse lòtbò nan prezans SENYÈ a pou batay la, jis jan ke mèt mwen pale.”
But we your servants are ready for battle, and all our troops will cross over to fight with the Lord's help, just as you have said, sir.”
28 Konsa, Moïse te pase lòd konsènan yo a Éléazar, prèt la, a Josué, fis a Nun nan, e a chèf lakay papa zansèt yo, a tribi a fis Israël yo.
Moses gave the following instructions about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua, son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.
29 Moïse te di yo: “Si fis a Gad avèk fis a Ruben yo, tout sila ki te pran zam pou batay yo, va travèse avèk nou lòtbò Jourdain an nan prezans SENYÈ a, e peyi a vin soumèt devan nou, alò nou va ba yo peyi a Galaad la kòm yon posesyon.
Moses told them, “If the tribes of Gadites and Reuben cross the Jordan with you, with all their troops ready for battle with the Lord's help, and the land is conquered as you advance, then give them the land of Gilead to own.
30 Men si yo refize travèse avèk nou avèk zam yo, yo va genyen posesyon yo pami nou nan peyi Canaran.”
But if they don't get themselves ready for battle and cross over with you, then they must accept their allotted land among you in the country of Canaan.”
31 Fis a Gad avèk fis a Ruben yo te reponn e te di: “Jan SENYÈ a te pale a sèvitè ou yo, konsa nou va fè.
The tribes of Gad and Reuben responded, “We will do just as the Lord has told us, your servants.
32 Nou menm, nou va travèse lòtbò avèk zam yo nan prezans SENYÈ a, nan peyi Canaran, e posesyon eritaj nou va rete avèk nou lòt kote Jourdain an.”
We will cross over and enter the country of Canaan ready for battle with the Lord's help, so that we may have our allotted share of land on this side of the Jordan.”
33 Konsa, Moïse te bay yo, fis a Gad avèk fis a Ruben yo, mwatye tribi fis a Joseph la, Manassé, wayòm a Sihon, wa a Amoreyen yo, wayòm a Og la, wa a Basan an, peyi a avèk vil pa yo, teritwa pa yo, vil a teritwa ki te antoure yo.
So Moses gave to the tribes of Gad and Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan. This land included its towns and their surrounding area.
34 Fis a Gad yo te bati Dibon avèk Ataroth ak Aroër,
The people of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atroth-Schophan, Jaezer, Jogbetha,
Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Beth Nimra avèk Beth Haran, kòm vil byen fòtifye ak pak pou mouton.
Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified towns, and they built stone walls for their flocks.
37 Fis a Ruben yo te bati Hesbon, Elealé, avèk Kirjathaïm,
The people of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo avèk Baal-Meon——non ki te chanje yo—ak Sibma, e yo te bay lòt non a vil ke yo te bati yo.
as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (changing their names), and Sibmah. In fact they renamed those towns they rebuilt.
39 Fis a Makir yo, fis a Manassé yo te ale Galaad pou te pran li, e yo te deplase Amoreyen ki te rete ladann yo.
The descendants of Machir, son of Manasseh, attacked Gilead and captured it. They drove out the Amorites who were living there.
40 Konsa, Moïse te bay Galaad a Makir, fis a Manassé a, e li te viv ladann.
So Moses gave Gilead to the family of Machir, son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
41 Jaïr, fis a Manassé a te ale pran vil li yo, e li te rele yo Havvoth-jaïr.
Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, attacked their villages and captured them. He named them the Villages of Jair.
42 Nobach te ale pran Kenath avèk vil pa li yo, e li te rele li Nobach selon pwòp non pa li.
Nobah attacked Kenath and captured it, along with its villages. He named it Nobah after himself.
