Na Helu 32
1 HE nui loa na holoholona a na mamo a Reubena, a me na mamo a Gada: a i ka manawa i ike ai lakou i ka aina o Iazera a me ka aina o Gileada, aia hoi, he wahi pono ia no na holoholona;
The people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad had much livestock. They saw that the land near Jazer [city] and the Gilead [region east of the Jordan River] had good [grass] for the animals [to graze on].
2 Hele mai la na mamo a Gada a me na mamo a Reubena, a olelo mai la ia Mose, a ia Eleazara ke kahuna, a i na luna o ke anainakanaka, i mai la,
So their leaders came to Eleazar and the other leaders of the people and Moses/me. They said,
3 O Atarota, o Dibona, o Iazera, o Nimera, o Hesebona, o Eleale, o Sebama, o Nebo, a o Beona,
“We have a great amount of livestock.
4 O ka aina a Iehova i luku ai imua o ke anainakanaka o ka Iseraela, he aina ia no na holoholona; a he holoholona ia makou o kau poe kauwa.
Yahweh has enabled us Israelis to capture some land that is very good for animals [to graze on]—the land near Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon [towns].
5 I mai la lakou, No keia mea, a i loaa ia makou ke aloha imua o kou maka, e ae mai oe e haawiia mai keia aina i wahi e noho ai no kau mau kauwa, aole no e kai aku ia makou ma kela aoao o Ioredane.
If it pleases you, we would like this land to be ours, instead of land on the other side of the Jordan River.”
6 Ninau aku la o Mose i na mamo a Gada, a i na mamo a Reubena, E hele no anei ko oukou poe hoahanau i ke kaua, a e noho no oukou manei?
Moses/I replied to the leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben, “It is not right for [RHQ] your fellow Israelis to go to fight in wars and you stay here!
7 No ke aha la hoi e hoonawaliwali ai oukou i na naau o na mamo a Iseraela, i hele ole ai lakou i ka aina a Iehova i haawi mai ai no lakou?
[If you do that], you will cause the other Israelis to be discouraged, with the result that they will not cross [the Jordan River] to the land that Yahweh is giving to them [RHQ].
8 Pela no i hana'i ko oukou poe makua, ia'u i hoouna aku ai ia lakou mai Kadesabanea aku e makaikai i ka aina.
Your ancestors did the same kind of thing. I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to see what the land [of Canaan] was like.
9 No ka mea, i ka manawa i pii aku ai lakou ma ke awawa o Esekola, a ike aku la i ka aina, hoonawaliwali lakou i ka naau o na mamo a Iseraela, i hele ole aku ai lakou i ka aina a Iehova i haawi mai ai no lakou.
They went as far as Eshcol Valley, but when they saw [the huge people in] the land, [they returned and] caused the Israeli people to be discouraged, saying ‘We should not try to enter the land that Yahweh said that he is giving to us.’
10 A ua hoaia ka inaina o Iehova ia la, a hoohiki iho la ia, i ka i ana mai,
So Yahweh became very angry with them, and he solemnly declared this:
11 He oiaio, aole kekahi o na kanaka i hele mai nei mai Aigupita mai, na mea o na makahiki he iwakalua a keu aku, e ike aku i ka aina a'u i hoohiki ai no Aberahama, no Isaaka a no Iakoba; no ka mea, aole lakou i hahai pono mamuli o'u:
‘From all the people who came out of Egypt, the only ones who are at least 20 years old who will see the land that I promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua, because they trusted me completely. None of the other people who came out of Egypt will even see that land, because they have not completely believed in my [power].’
12 O Kaleba wale no o ke keiki a Iepune ka Kenezi, laua o Iosua ke keiki a Nuna: no ka mea, ua hahai pono no laua ia Iehova.
13 A hoaia ka inaina o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a hoauwana ae la oia ia lakou ma ka waonahele i na makahiki he kanaha, a pau loa ae la ka hanauna a pau i hana hewa imua o Iehova.
So Yahweh was angry with the Israeli people, and [as a result] he has caused us to wander in this desert for 40 years. Finally, all the people who had sinned against Yahweh [by refusing to trust him] died, [one by one].
14 Aia hoi, ua ku ae nei oukou i pani no ka hakahaka o ko oukou poe makua, he hanauna kanaka hewa, e hoomahuahua aku i ka inaina nui o Iehova i ka Iseraela.
And you are acting like your ancestors did! You sinful Israeli people are going to cause Yahweh to be more angry with you [than he was with our ancestors]
15 No ka mea, a i huli aku oukou maimuli ona aku, e haalele hou mai auanei oia ia lakou iloko o ka waonahele, a e make keia poe kanaka a pau ia oukou.
If you stop trusting him, he will cause you and all your fellow Israelis to stay longer in the desert, and he will get rid of all of you!”
16 Hele mai lakou a kokoke io na la, i mai la, E hana no makou i na pahipa no ko makou holoholona, a me na kulanakauhale no na keiki a makou:
Then the [leaders of the tribes of Reuben and Gad] said to Moses/me, “First we will build pens for our animals and build cities for our families here.
17 Aka, e hele makaukau no makou i ke kaua imua o na mamo a Iseraela a alakai makou ia lakou i ko lakou wahi: a e noho na keiki a makou i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, no na kanaka o ka aina.
Then our families will live in strong cities with walls around them, and they will be safe from the people who live in this land. Then we will get ready to fight battles. We will help the other Israelis to get land [on the other side of the river].
18 Aole no makou e hoi hou i na hale o makou, a loaa i kela kanaka i keia kanaka o na mamo a Iseraela kona ainahooili.
We will not return to our homes until every Israeli has received some land.
19 No ka mea, aole makou e ai aina me lakou ma kela aoao o Ioredane; a ma o aku; no ka mea, ua loaa ia makou ko makou ainahooili ma keia aoao o Ioredane ma ka hikina.
We will not take any land on the west side of the Jordan [River]; our land will be here on the east side.”
20 I aku la o Mose ia lakou, Ina paha oukou e hana ia mea, a e hele me ka makaukau i ke kaua imua o Iehova,
So Moses/I told them, “[Okay, I will tell you] what you all must do. You must get ready to fight battles for Yahweh.
21 A e hele oukou a pau me ka makaukau ma kela aoao o Ioredane imua o Iehova, a pau kona poe enemi i ka hookukeia'ku e ia mai kona alo aku,
You all must cross the Jordan [River] carrying your weapons.
22 A pio ka aina imua o Iehova; a mahope iho e hoi hou auanei oukou, me ka hala ole imua o Iehova, imua hoi o ka Iseraela: a e lilo keia aina no oukou imua o Iehova.
After Yahweh helps us to take that land [from the people who live there], you will be permitted to return to your homes. You will have done what you have promised Yahweh and the Israeli people that you would do, and you may keep this land to be your own, given to you by Yahweh.
23 Aka, i hana ole oukou pela, aia hoi, ua hana hewa aku oukou ia Iehova; a e ike pono oukou e pili auanei ko oukou hewa ia oukou iho.
“But if you do not do these things, you will be sinning against Yahweh, and he will punish you for [that] sin.
24 E hana oukou i na kulanakauhale no na keiki a oukou, a me na pa no na hipa a oukou; a e hana oukou i ka mea a ko oukou waha i olelo mai ai.
Now you can build cities for your families and pens for your animals, but after doing that, you must do what you have promised.”
25 Olelo mai la na mamo a Gada, a me na mamo a Reubena, i mai la, E hana no na kauwa au e like me kuu haku i olelo mai nei.
The leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben replied, “We will do what you have asked us to do [MTY], because you are our leader.
26 O ka makou poe kamalii, o na wahine a makou, o ko makou holoholona uuku, a me ko makou holoholona nui a pan, e waihoia ilaila maloko o na kulanakauhale o Gileada:
Our wives and children and our cattle and sheep and goats will stay here in the cities in the Gilead area,
27 Aka, a kau poe kauwa, o kela mea keia mea e hele makaukau imua o Iehova i ke kaua, e like me ka olelo ana mai a kuu haku.
but we will prepare to go to battle. We will take our weapons and go across [the Jordan River] and fight for Yahweh, just as you, our leader, have said.”
28 A kauoha aku la o Mose no lakou ia Eleazara ke kahuna, a me Iosua ke keiki a Nuna, a me na lunakahiko o na ohana mamo a Iseraela:
So Moses/I gave instructions about them to Eleazar, Joshua, and the leaders of the Israeli tribes.
29 I aku la o Mose ia lakou, Ina e hele pu aku me oukou na mamo a Gada, a me na mamo a Reubena ma kela aoao o Ioredane, o kela kanaka o keia kanaka me ka makaukau i ke kaua imua o Iehova, a e hoopioia ka aina imua o oukou; alaila e haawi oukou i ka aina o Gileada i kuleana no lakou:
Moses/I said to them, “If the men from the tribes of Gad and Reuben prepare for battle and cross the Jordan [River] with you, in order to do what Yahweh desires and help you to take that land, give them the Gilead area to belong to them.
30 A i ole lakou e hele makaukau aku me oukou ma kela aoao, alaila e loaa ia lakou ko lakou kuleana iwaena o oukou ma ka aina o Kanaana.
But if they do not take their weapons and go with you prepared to fight, they will not receive this land. They will need to accept some land in Canaan, like the rest of you will do.”
31 Olelo mai la na mamo a Gada a me na mamo a Reubena, i mai la, E like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai i kau poe kauwa, pela no makou e hana aku ai.
The [leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben] replied, “We will do what you have said and what Yahweh has said.
32 E hele makaukau aku no makou imua o Iehova iloko o ka aina o Kanaana, i lilo ai no makou ka aina o ko makou kuleana ma keia aoao o Ioredane.
We will cross the river into Canaan land, and we will do what Yahweh desires and be prepared for battle. But our land will be [here] on the east side of the Jordan [River].”
33 A haawi aku la o Mose no lakou, no na mamo a Gada a me na mamo a Reubena, a me ka ohana hapa a Manase a ke keiki a Iosepa, i ke aupuni o Sihona ke alii o ka Amora, a me ke aupuni o Oga ke alii o Basana, i ka aina me na kulanakauhale ona, ma ua palena, na kulanakauhale o ia aina a puni.
So Moses/I agreed to give that land to the tribes of Gad and Reuben and to half of the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh. That land was previously the land where Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, ruled, and the land where Og, the king of Bashan [region], ruled, including its cities and surrounding land.
34 A kukulu aku la na mamo a Gada ia Dibona, me Atarota, me Aroera,
The people of the tribe of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Me Aterota, me Sopana, me Iazera, a me Iogebeha,
Atroth-Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Me Betenimera a me Beteharana, na kulanakauhale i puni i ka pa, a me na pahipa.
Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran cities. Those were cities with strong walls around them. And they also built pens for their sheep.
37 A kukulu aku la na mamo a Reubena ia Hesebona, me Eleale, a me Kiriataima,
The people of the tribe of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 A me Nebo, me Baalameona, (ua hoololiia ko lakou mau inoa, ) a me Sibema: a mamuli o ua inoa, kapa aku lakou i na inoa o na kulanakauhale a lakou i kukulu ai.
Nebo, Baal-Meon, and Sibmah cities. When they rebuilt Nebo and Baal-Meon, they gave new names to those cities.
39 A hele aku la na keiki a Makira ke keiki a Manase i Gileada, a lawe pio iho la ia wahi, a hookuke aku la i ka Amora e noho ana iloko olaila.
The descendants of Manasseh’s son Makir went to the Gilead [region] and compelled the people of the Amor people-group to leave that area.
40 A haawi aku la o Mose ia Gileada ia Makira ke keiki a Manase, a noho iho la ia ilaila.
So Moses/I gave Gilead to the family of Makir, and they started to live there.
41 Hele aku la hoi o Iaira ke keiki a Manase, a lawe pio aku la i na kauhale o ia wahi, a kapa aku la i ko lakou inoa, o Havota-iaira.
Jair, who was also a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured the small towns in that region, and he named them the Towns of Jair.
42 A hele aku la o Noba a lawe pio aku la ia Kenata, a me na kauhale ona, a kapa aku ia wahi, o Noba, mamuli o kona inoa iho.
A man named Nobah went and captured Kenath [city] and the nearby towns, and then he put his own name to be the new name of that area.
