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.
Now, much cattle, had come into the possession of the sons of Reuben and of the sons of Gad, an exceeding mighty number. And when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, lo! the place, was a place for cattle.
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 the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came in, —and spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of assembly, saying,
3 “Atharoth, Dibon, Jaezer, Nimra, Hesbon Elealé, Sebam, Nebo ak Beon,
As touching Ataroth and Dibon, and Jazer and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, —and Sebam and 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.”
the land which Yahweh smote before the assembly of Israel, a land for cattle, it is, —and, thy servants, have cattle.
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.”
And they said—If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land be given unto thy servants, for a possession, —do not take us over 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?
Then said Moses unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Reuben, —Shall, your brethren, go into the war, and ye, settle down 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?
Wherefore, then, should ye dissuade the heart of the sons of Israel, from passing over into the land which Yahweh hath given to them?
8 Se sa ke papa nou yo te fè lè mwen te voye yo sòti nan Kadès-Barnéa pou wè peyi a.
Thus, did your fathers, —when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea, to view 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.
and they went up as far as the ravine of Eschol, and viewed the land, and then dissuaded the heart of the sons of Israel from entering into the land, which Yahweh had given them.
10 “Konsa, kòlè SENYÈ a te brile nan jou sa a, Li te sèmante, e te di:
Then was the anger of Yahweh kindled on that day, —and he sware, saying:
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,
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upwards, shall see the soil, which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto Jacob, because they have not followed after me fully;
12 sof Caleb, fis a Jephunné a, Kenizyen an, ak Josué, fis a Nun nan, paske yo te swiv SENYÈ a nèt.’
save Caleb son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite, and Joshua, son of Nun, —for they followed after Yahweh, fully.
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.
So the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel, and he made them wander in the desert, forty years, —until all the generation who had done the evil in the eyes of Yahweh, had wasted away!
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.
Lo! therefore, ye have arisen in the room of your fathers, a brood of sinful men, —to heap up yet more upon the heat of the anger of Yahweh, towards 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 ye do turn away from following him, then will he yet again leave them behind in the desert, —so shall ye bring destruction upon all this people.
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 came they near unto him, and said, Folds, for flocks, would we build for our cattle, here, —and cities for our little ones;
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, would arm ourselves promptly, before the sons of Israel, until that we have brought them into their place, —so should our little ones remain in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 Nou p ap retounen lakay nou jiskaske chak moun nan fis Israël yo gen tan posede eritaj pa yo.
We would not return unto our houses, —until the sons of Israel have possessed themselves each man, of his inheritance.
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.”
For we would not inherit with them, over the Jordan, and onwards, —because our inheritance hath come unto us on this side the Jordan towards sunrise.
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,
And Moses said unto them, If ye will indeed do this thing, —if ye will arm yourselves, before Yahweh, for the war;
21 epi nou tout mesye avèk zam yo travèse Jourdain a devan SENYÈ a jiskaske Li pouse lènmi Li yo soti devan Li,
and every armed man of you pass over the Jordan before Yahweh, —until he hath dispossessed his enemies, from before 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.
and the land be subdued before Yahweh then afterwards, shall ye return, and shall be acquitted by Yahweh and by Israel, —and this land shall be yours for a possession before Yahweh.
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 ye shall not do this, lo! ye will have sinned against Yahweh, —and take note of your sin, that it will find you out.
24 Bati pou nou menm gran vil pou pitit nou yo, pak pou mouton nou yo, e fè sa ke nou te pwomèt yo.”
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, —and then that which hath gone forth from your mouth, ye shall do.
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.
Then spake the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben unto Moses, saying, —thy servants, will do, as, my lord, is giving command.
26 Pitit nou yo, madanm nou yo, ak bèt nou yo va rete nan vil Galaad yo;
Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, shall remain there in the cities 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.”
and thy servants, will pass over every one armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, —as, my lord is speaking.
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.
So Moses gave command concerning them, unto Eleazar the priest and unto Joshua son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes, of the sons 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.
and Moses said unto them—If the sons of Gad and the son of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for the war before Yahweh, and the land be subdued before you, then shall ye give unto them the land of Gilead, for a possession.
30 Men si yo refize travèse avèk nou avèk zam yo, yo va genyen posesyon yo pami nou nan peyi Canaran.”
But, if they will not pass over armed, with you, then shall they accept a possession in your midst, in the land 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.
Then responded the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, saying, —That which Yahweh had spoken unto thy servants, so, will we do.
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 pass over armed, before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, —then shall be ours, the possession of our inheritance across 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 then Moses gave unto them even unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Reuben and unto the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land by her cities with boundaries, even the cities of the land round about.
34 Fis a Gad yo te bati Dibon avèk Ataroth ak Aroër,
And the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, —and Aroer;
35 Atroth-Schophan, Jaezer, Jogbetha,
and Atroth-shophan and Jazer, and Jogbehah;
36 Beth Nimra avèk Beth Haran, kòm vil byen fòtifye ak pak pou mouton.
and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, —fortified cities and folds for flocks.
37 Fis a Ruben yo te bati Hesbon, Elealé, avèk Kirjathaïm,
And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, —and 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.
and Nebo and Baal-meon—their names being changed, and Sibmah, —and they gave names to the cities which they built.
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.
Then went the sons of Machir son of Manasseh to Gilead, and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein,
40 Konsa, Moïse te bay Galaad a Makir, fis a Manassé a, e li te viv ladann.
So Moses gave Gilead unto Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelt therein.
41 Jaïr, fis a Manassé a te ale pran vil li yo, e li te rele yo Havvoth-jaïr.
And Jair, son of Manasseh, went, and captured their encampments, —and called them Havvoth-jair ["The encampments of Jair"].
42 Nobach te ale pran Kenath avèk vil pa li yo, e li te rele li Nobach selon pwòp non pa li.
And, Nobah, went, and captured Kenath, with the villages thereof, —and called it Nobah, after his own name.
