< Josue 22 >

1 Iti dayta a tiempo, inayaban ni Josue dagiti Rubenita, Gadita, ken ti kagudua a tribu ti Manases.
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
2 Kinunana kadakuada, “Inaramidyo amin a banag nga imbilin kadakayo ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh; nagtulnogkayo iti timekko iti amin nga imbilinko kadakayo.
and said to them, “You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.
3 Saanyo a pinanawan dagiti kakabsatyo kabayatan iti aniaman kadagitoy adu nga aldaw wenno iti daytoy agdama nga aldaw. Ngem ketdi, nagbalinkayo a naannad nga agtulnog kadagiti annuroten dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of the LORD your God.
4 Ita, inted ni Yahweh a Dios ti inana kadagiti kakabsatyo a kas iti inkarina kadakuada. Agsublikayo ngarud ket mapankayo kadagiti toldayo iti daga a kukuayo nga inted ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh kadakayo iti ballasiw ti Jordan.
Now the LORD your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan.
5 Agbalinkayo laeng a naannad a mangtungpal kadagiti bilin ken iti linteg nga imbilin kadakayo ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh, nga ayatenyo ni Yahweh a Diosyo, a magnakayo kadagiti amin a wagasna, a salimetmetanyo dagiti bilbilinna, ken kumpetkayo kenkuana, ken agdayawkayo kenkuana iti amin a pusoyo ken iti amin a kararuayo.”
Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
6 Binendisionan ngarud ida ni Josue ken pinagawidna ida, ket nagsublida kadagiti toldada.
So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.
7 Ita, iti kagudua a tribu ti Manases, inikkan ida ni Moises iti tawid idiay Basan, ngem iti maysa pay a kagudua, inikkan ida ni Josue iti tawid iti abay dagiti kakabsatda iti daga nga adda iti laud ti Jordan. Pinaawid ni Josue ida kadagiti toldada; binendisionanna ida
Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but Joshua gave to the other half among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,
8 ken kinunana kadakuada, “Agsublikayo kadagiti toldayo nga addaan iti adu a kuarta, ken addaan iti adu unay nga ayup, ken addaan iti pirak ken balitok, ken addaan iti gambang ken landok, ken addaan iti adu unay a pagan-anay. Ibingayonyo dagiti kakabsatyo iti sinamsamyo kadagiti kabusoryo.”
and spoke to them, saying, “Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the plunder of your enemies with your brothers.”
9 Isu a nagsubli dagiti kaputotan ni Ruben, dagiti kaputotan ni Gad, ken ti kagudua a tribu ni Manases iti pagtaenganda, pinanawanda dagiti tattao ti Israel idiay Silo nga adda iti daga ti Canaan. Pimmanawda tapno mapanda iti rehion ti Galaad, iti bukodda a daga nga isuda a mismo ti nangtagikua a kas panagtulnogda iti bilin ni Yahweh, babaen iti ima ni Moises.
The children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of the LORD by Moses.
10 Idi dimtengda idiay Jordan nga adda iti daga ti Canaan, nangipatakder dagiti Rubenita, dagiti Gadita, ken ti kagudua a tribu ti Manases iti dakkel unay ken makitkita nga altar iti abay ti Jordan.
When they came to the region near the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.
11 Nangngeg dagiti tattao ti Israel ti maipanggep iti daytoy ket kinunada, “Kitaenyo! Nangipatakder iti altar dagiti tattao ti Ruben, Gad, ken ti kagudua a tribu ti Manases iti sangoanan ti daga ti Canaan, idiay Gelilot, iti rehion nga asideg ti Jordan, iti paset a kukua dagiti tattao ti Israel.”
The children of Israel heard this, “Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar along the border of the land of Canaan, in the region around the Jordan, on the side that belongs to the children of Israel.”
12 Idi nangngeg dagiti tattao ti Israel daytoy, naguummong a nagmaymaysa ti entero a taripnong dagiti tattao ti Israel idiay Silo tapno sumang-atda a mapan makigubat kadakuada.
When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
13 Nangibaon ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel kadagiti mensahero a mapan kadagiti Rubenita, kadagiti Gadita, ken iti kagudua a tribu ti Manases iti daga ti Galaad. Imbaonda met ni Finees nga anak ni Eleazar a padi,
The children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest.
14 ken kaduana ti sangapulo a mangidadaulo, maysa manipud kadagiti tunggal kapuonan dagiti pamilia ti Israel, ken tunggal maysa kadakuada ket isu ti panguloen ti tunggal puli kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
With him were ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were each head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel.
15 Napanda kadagiti tattao ti Ruben, Gad, ken iti kagudua a tribu ti Manases, iti daga ti Galaad, ket insaoda kadakuada:
They came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
16 “Ibagbaga ti entero a taripnong ni Yahweh daytoy, 'Ania daytoy a panaglabsing nga inaramidyo iti Dios ti Israel, babaen iti isisinayo iti daytoy nga aldaw iti panangsurotyo kenni Yahweh babaen iti panangipatakderyo para kadagiti bagbagiyo iti altar iti daytoy nga aldaw a kas panagrebeldeyo kenni Yahweh?
“The whole congregation of the LORD says, ‘What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away today from following the LORD, in that you have built yourselves an altar, to rebel today against the LORD?
17 Saan kadi nga umanay kadatayo ti basoltayo idiay Peor? Nupay kasta ket saantayo pay a dinalusan dagiti bagbagitayo manipud iti daytoy. Ta gapu iti dayta a basol ket immay ti didigra iti taripnong ni Yahweh.
Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of the LORD,
18 Masapul met kadi a suminakayo manipud iti panangsurotyo kenni Yahweh iti daytoy agdama nga aldaw? No agrebeldekayo met kenni Yahweh ita nga aldaw, makaungetto isuna iti entero a taripnong ti Israel inton bigat.
that you must turn away today from following the LORD? It will be, since you rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
19 No natulawan ti daga a kukuayo, rumbeng ngarud nga umakarkayo iti daga a nakaisaadan ti tabernakulo ni Yahweh ken mangalakayo kadakami iti sanikua para kadagiti bagbagiyo. Saankayo laeng nga agrebelde kenni Yahweh, wenno agrebelde kadakami babaen iti panangipatakderyo iti altar para kadagiti bagbagiyo malaksid iti altar ni Yahweh a Diostayo.
However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of the LORD, in which the LORD’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than the LORD our God’s altar.
20 Saan kadi a nalabsing ni Acan nga anak ni Zera ti pammati maipapan kadagidiay a banbanag a nailasin para iti Dios? Ken saan kadi a nagdisso ti pungtot iti amin a tattao ti Israel? Saan laeng a dayta a tao ti natay gapu iti basolna.'”
Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man did not perish alone in his iniquity.’”
21 Ket simmungbat dagiti tribu ti Ruben, Gad ken ti kagudua a tribu ti Manases kadagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti puli ti Israel:
Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
22 “Ti Mannakabalin a Dios, a ni Yahweh! Ti Mannakabalin a Dios, a ni Yahweh! — Ammona, ket maammoan koma a mismo ti Israel! No daytoy ket panagrebelde wenno panangsalungasing iti pammati a maibusor kenni Yahweh, saannakami nga ispalen ita nga aldaw
“The Mighty One, God, the LORD, the Mighty One, God, the LORD, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against the LORD (do not save us today),
23 gapu iti panangipatakdermi iti altar tapno suminakami iti panangsurotmi kenni Yahweh. No impatakdermi dayta nga altar tapno pagidatonan kadagiti daton a mapuoran, daton a bukbukel, wenno daton a pakikappia, ket bay-anyo a dusaennakami ni Yahweh gapu iti daytoy.
that we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let the LORD himself require it.
24 Saan! Inaramidmi daytoy gapu iti buteng nga iti tiempo nga umay amangan no kunaento dagiti annakyo kadagiti annakmi, 'Ania ti bibiangyo kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel?
“If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, ‘In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, “What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?
25 Ta inaramid ni Yahweh a beddeng ti Jordan iti nagbaetantayo. Dakayo a tattao ti Ruben ken Gad, awan ti bibiangyo kenni Yahweh.' Iti kasta ket amangan no pasardengento dagiti annakyo dagiti annakmi nga agdayaw kenni Yahweh.
For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no portion in the LORD.”’ So your children might make our children cease from fearing the LORD.
26 Isu a kinunami, 'Mangipatakdertayo ita iti altar, saan a gapu kadagiti daton a mapuoran wenno gapu iti aniaman a daton,
“Therefore we said, ‘Let’s now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;
27 ngem tapno agbalin a saksi iti nagbaetantayo ken iti nagbaetan dagiti henerasion a sumaruno kadatayo, nga aramidenmi ti panagserbi kenni Yahweh iti sangoananna, babaen kadagiti datonmi a mapuoran ken kadagiti sakrifisiomi ken kadagiti datonmi a pakikappia, tapno saanto pulos nga ibaga dagiti annakyo kadagiti annakmi iti tiempo nga umay, “Awan iti bingayyo kenni Yahweh.'”
but it will be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;’ that your children may not tell our children in time to come, ‘You have no portion in the LORD.’
28 Isu a kinunami, 'No daytoy ti rumbengto a maibaga kadakami wenno kadagiti kaputotanmi iti tiempo nga umay, ibagaminto, “Kitaenyo! Daytoy ket kaasping ti altar ni Yahweh nga inaramid dagiti kapuonanmi, saan a gapu kadagiti daton a mapuoran, saan a gapu kadagiti sakrifisio, ngem kas saksi iti nagbaetantayo.”
“Therefore we said, ‘It shall be, when they tell us or our generations this in time to come, that we shall say, “Behold the pattern of the LORD’s altar, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.”’
29 Adayo koma kadakami a rumbeng nga agrebeldekami kenni Yahweh ken sumina ita nga aldaw iti panangsurotmi kenkuana babaen iti panangipatakdermi iti altar para iti daton a mapuoran, para iti daton a bukbukel, wenno para iti sakrifisio, laksid iti altar ni Yahweh a Diostayo nga adda iti sangoanan ti tabernakulona.'”
“Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away today from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the LORD our God’s altar that is before his tabernacle!”
30 Idi nangngeg ni Finees a padi ken dagiti kakaduana a mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao, a dagiti met laeng panguloen dagiti puli ti Israel, dagiti sasao nga imbaga dagiti tattao ti Ruben, Gad, ken Manases, nasayaat daytoy iti panagkitada.
When Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.
31 Kinuna ni Finees nga anak ni Eleazar a padi kadagiti tattao ti Ruben, Gad, ken Manases, “Ammomin ita nga aldaw nga adda ni Yahweh kadatayo gapu ta saanyo nga inaramid daytoy a panangsalungasing iti pammati a maibusor kenkuana. Ita, inispalyo dagiti tattao ti Israel manipud iti ima ni Yahweh.”
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, “Today we know that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this trespass against the LORD. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the LORD’s hand.”
32 Ket manipud iti daga ti Galaad nga ayan dagiti Rubenita ken Gadita, nagsubli da Finees nga anak ni Eleazar a padi ken dagiti mangidadaulo iti daga ti Canaan, kadagiti tattao ti Israel, ken nangyegda iti sungbat kadakuada.
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
33 Nasayaat ti impadamagda iti panagkita dagiti tattao ti Israel. Nagdaydayaw dagiti tattao ti Israel ti Dios ken saandan a nagsao pay iti maipanggep iti pannakigubatda kadagiti Rubenita ken kadagiti Gadita tapno dadaelenda ti daga a pagnanaedanda.
The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad lived.
34 Pinanaganan dagiti Rubenita ken Gadita ti altar iti “Saksi,” ta kinunada, “Saksi daytoy iti nagbaetantayo a ni Yahweh ket Dios.
The children of Reuben and the children of Gad named the altar “A Witness Between Us that the LORD is God.”
