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 the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. They saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead. Behold, the place was a place for livestock.
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,
Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
3 “Atharoth, Dibon, Jaezer, Nimra, Hesbon Elealé, Sebam, Nebo ak Beon,
“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.”
the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”
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 said, “If we have found favour in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring 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?
Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you 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 do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which 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.
Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see 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.
For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
10 “Konsa, kòlè SENYÈ a te brile nan jou sa a, Li te sèmante, e te di:
The LORD’s anger burnt in that day, and he swore, 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 who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me,
12 sof Caleb, fis a Jephunné a, Kenizyen an, ak Josué, fis a Nun nan, paske yo te swiv SENYÈ a nèt.’
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed the LORD completely.’
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’s anger burnt against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation who had done evil in the LORD’s sight was consumed.
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.
“Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of the LORD 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.”
For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all these 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;
They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, 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 ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell 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 will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their 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 will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.”
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 said to them: “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to 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 one of your armed men will pass over the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven out 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 is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be clear of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. Then this land shall be your possession before 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 will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin 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 cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.”
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 children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands.
26 Pitit nou yo, madanm nou yo, ak bèt nou yo va rete nan vil Galaad yo;
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be 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.”
but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says.”
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 commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the children 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 said to them, “If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give 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 with you armed, they shall have possessions amongst you 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.
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As the LORD has said to your 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 the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond 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.
Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan; the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.
34 Fis a Gad yo te bati Dibon avèk Ataroth ak Aroër,
The children of Gad built 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: fortified cities and folds for sheep.
37 Fis a Ruben yo te bati Hesbon, Elealé, avèk Kirjathaïm,
The children of Reuben built 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.
Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other 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.
The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took 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.
Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein.
41 Jaïr, fis a Manassé a te ale pran vil li yo, e li te rele yo Havvoth-jaïr.
Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its villages, and called them Havvoth Jair.
42 Nobach te ale pran Kenath avèk vil pa li yo, e li te rele li Nobach selon pwòp non pa li.
Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
