Ọnụọgụgụ 32
1 Mgbe ndị Izrel rutere ala Jeza na Gilead, ndị ebo Ruben na Gad ndị nwere ọtụtụ igwe ehi, na igwe ewu na atụrụ chọpụtara na ala ahụ dị mma nke ukwuu maka ịzụ anụ ụlọ.
Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;
2 Ya mere, ha bịakwutere Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja, na ndị ndu nzukọ Izrel, sị ha,
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 “Ala ndị a: Atarọt, Dibọn, Jeza, Nimra, Heshbọn, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo, na Beon,
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 bụ ala nke Onyenwe anyị meriri nʼagha nʼihu nzukọ Izrel, dị mma maka ịzụ anụ ụlọ. Anyị onwe anyị kwa nwere igwe ewu na atụrụ.
[Even] the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
5 Ọ bụrụ na anyị achọtala amara nʼihu unu, biko, kwerenụ ka akụkụ ala a bụrụ ihe nketa nke anyị bụ ohu unu. Unu emekwala ka anyị soro ndị Izrel gafee nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan.”
Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over Jordan.
6 Mosis jụrụ ndị Gad na Ruben ajụjụ sị, “Unu na-ekwu na unu chọrọ ịnọ nʼebe a mgbe ụmụnna unu ndị ikom niile ga-agafe osimiri Jọdan ịlụ agha niile ahụ dị na-eche ha?
And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7 Ọ bụ nʼihi gịnị ka unu ji eme ka ndị Izrel daa mba ghara ịgafe banye nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyerela ha?
And why discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
8 Otu a ka nna unu ha mere mgbe m si Kadesh Banea zipụ ha inyocha ala ahụ.
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
9 Mgbe ha letasịrị ala ahụ si na Ndagwurugwu Eshkọl lọghachi, ha mere ka obi ndị Izrel niile daa mba ịbanye nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ha.
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 Nʼihi nke a Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide ha nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ọ ṅụrụ iyi kwuo sị,
And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
11 ‘Nʼihi na unu jụrụ iji obi unu niile gbasoo m, o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime ndị ahụ o si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta, ndị gbara iri afọ abụọ rigoo, ga-ahụ ala ahụ m kwere Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb nkwa inye ha.’
Surely none of the men that came up from 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 Naanị ndị ọṅụṅụ iyi a na-emegideghị bụ Kaleb, nwa Jefune onye Keniz, na Joshua nwa Nun, nʼihi na ha jiri obi ha niile sogide Onyenwe anyị.
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
13 Iwe Onyenwe anyị dịịrị ọkụ megide Izrel, o mere ka ha wagharịa nʼọzara iri afọ anọ, tutu ruo mgbe ọgbọ ahụ niile nke mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya ya nwụchara.
And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was consumed.
14 “Ma lee unu ugbu a, agbụrụ ndị mmehie, ọ bụkwa otu ihe ahụ ka unu na-eme! Unu na-achọ ime ka iwe dị ukwuu wee Onyenwe anyị megide ndị Izrel.
And behold, ye have risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD towards Israel.
15 Ọ bụrụ na unu ajụ iso Onyenwe anyị ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị ga-emekwa ka ndị Izrel nọgide nʼọzara. Mbibi na ịla nʼiyi nke ga-abịakwasị ha ga-abụkwa nke unu ji aka unu kpatara ha.”
For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and he will destroy all this people.
16 Ma ha zara sị ya, “Ọ gaghị adị otu a! Anyị ga-ewuru anụ ụlọ anyị ụlọ, tinye igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị nʼime ha. Anyị ga-ewukwara ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụntakịrị anyị obodo ebe ha ga-anọ.
And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheep-folds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
17 Ma anyị onwe anyị ga-eburu ngwa agha anyị, buru ndị Izrel niile ọzọ ụzọ gaa nʼihu ịlụ ọgụ, tutu anyị edubata ha nʼala nke ha ga-eketa. Ma ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụntakịrị anyị ga-anọ nʼobodo e wusiri ike, ikpuchite ezinaụlọ anyị niile site nʼaka ndị iro bi anyị gburugburu.
But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 Anyị agaghị alọta nʼụlọ anyị tutu onye Izrel ọbụla enweta ihe nketa nke ya.
We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
19 Anyị achọghị ihe nketa, nʼofe Jọdan nke ọzọ, nʼihi na anyị ewerela oke nke anyị nʼebe a, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ Jọdan.”
For we will not inherit with them on the other side of Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance hath fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.
20 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis zara sị ha, “Ọ dị mma, ọ bụrụ na unu ga-eme dịka unu kwuru, jikere onwe unu, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ibu agha.
And Moses said to them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
21 Ọ bụrụ na ndị agha unu ga-eso gafee nʼofe ọzọ nke osimiri Jọdan, soro ndị ọzọ buo agha tutu ruo mgbe Onyenwe anyị chụpụchara ndị iro ya niile,
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
22 mgbe ahụ, e merichaa mba ndị ahụ niile nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, unu nwere ike ịlọghachi nʼebe a, bụrụ ndị ikpe na-amaghị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị na ndị Izrel nọ. Ala a dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, ga-abụ ihe nketa unu nwere site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị.
And the land shall be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
23 “Ọ bụrụkwanụ na unu ajụ ime dịka unu kwuru, mgbe ahụ, ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị ka unu na-emehie megide. Matakwanụ na unu ga-emesịa nata ụgwọ ọrụ mmehie unu.
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Wuonụ obodo ebe ndị inyom na ụmụ unu ga-ebi, wuokwanụ ụlọ anụ maka igwe ewu na atụrụ unu, ma mezuokwanụ ihe niile unu kweere na nkwa.”
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25 Ndị ebo Gad na Ruben sịrị Mosis, “Anyị bụ ndị ohu gị ga-eme dịka onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu.
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
26 Ụmụ anyị niile, na ndị inyom anyị niile, na igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị, na ehi anyị niile, ga-anọ nʼebe a, nʼobodo ndị a anyị wuru nʼala Gilead.
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
27 Ma anyị, ndị ohu gị, ndị niile tozuru ije agha, ga-agafe osimiri Jọdan ibu agha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, dịka onyenwe anyị si kwuo.”
But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
28 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis nyere Elieza, bụ onye nchụaja, na Joshua nwa Nun, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ nke ebo Izrel niile iwu banyere ha,
So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
29 Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na ndị ebo Gad na Ruben, onye ọbụla nke jikere ịga agha, ga-eso unu gafee Jọdan nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, mgbe ahụ, oge unu lụgburu ndị ala ahụ niile, unu aghaghị inye ha ala Gilead dịka ihe nketa ha.
And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed for battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
30 Ma ọ bụrụ na ha ajụ iso unu, ha ga-eso ndị ọzọ keta oke nʼala Kenan.”
But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31 Ndị ebo Gad na Ruben zara sị, “Ihe ọbụla Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu ka anyị ga-eme.
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said to thy servants, so will we do.
32 Anyị ga-ejikere soro Onyenwe anyị jee agha nʼala Kenan. Ma ihe nketa anyị ga-adị nʼebe a, nʼakụkụ Jọdan.”
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be] ours.
33 Mosis nyere ndị ebo Gad, na Ruben, na ọkara Manase nwa Josef, alaeze niile Saịhọn eze Amọrị nakwa alaeze niile nke Ọg, eze ndị Bashan na-achị. O nyere ha ala ahụ niile, na obodo niile dị nʼala ahụ gburugburu.
And Moses gave to them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the 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, with its cities in the borders, [even] the cities of the country around.
34 Ndị ebo Gad wugharịrị ma wusiekwa obodo ndị a, Dibọn, Atarọt, Aroea
And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities: and folds for sheep.

And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Shibmah: and gave other names to the cities which they built.
39 Ndị agbụrụ Makia, nwa Manase gara nʼobodo Gilead lụgbuo ya, chụpụ ndị Amọrait bi nʼebe ahụ.
And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite who [was] in it.
40 Ya mere, Mosis were obodo Gilead nye Makia, ụmụ Manase ka ha biri nʼebe ahụ.
And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt in it.
41 Jia, onye sikwa nʼebo Manase gara buso ọtụtụ obodo nta ndị ọzọ agha, lụgbuo ha. Ọ gbanwere aha obodo nta ndị a, gụọ ha Havọt Jaịa.
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns, and called them Havoth-jair.
42 Nʼoge a kwa, otu nwoke a na-akpọ Nọba duuru ndị agha gaa nʼobodo Kenat, na nʼobodo nta ndị ọzọ gbara ya gburugburu, lụgbuo ha, bichie nʼime ha. Ọ gbanwere aha obodo ndị ahụ niile bido ịkpọ ha Nọba, nke bụ aha ya onwe ya.
And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
