Zosua 22

1 Anante Rubeni naga'ma Gati naga'ma, amu'nompinti refko hu'naza Manase nagara Josua'a kehige'za eme eri tru hazageno,

Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh

2 amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma hihoma huno'ma huramante'nea zana ana maka hago huvagare'naze. Ana nehutma nagrama hihoma hu'na huankea ana maka amage ante'naze.

and told them, “You have done all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and you have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.

3 Hanki korapa knareti eno menima ama knare'ma egetma, tamagra tamafuhe'ina zamatreta ofretma, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma e'ina hugahaze huno'ma tami'nea eri'zana ana maka erivagare'naze.

All this time you have not deserted your brothers, up to this very day, but have kept the charge given you by the LORD your God.

4 Hanki menina Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo huvempama hu'nea ke'a amage anteno tamafuhe'ina manigsa zami'ne. E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma tami'nea mopa zage hanati kaziga Jodani timofo kantu kaziga nonkumatamima mane'nea mopare vugahaze.

And now that the LORD your God has given your brothers rest as He promised them, you may return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you across the Jordan.

5 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma tami'nea kasegene tra kenena kegava huso'e hu'netma amage anteho. Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avesinenteta, Agri avu'ava nevaririta, kasege'a amage nenteta, Agrane tragoteta mani'neta, maka tamagu tamenteti hutma Agri eri'zana erinteho.

But be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave 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 Anante Josua'a asomu ke huzamanteteno huzmantege'za seli nonkuma zamirega vu'naze.

So Joshua blessed them and sent them on their way, and they went to their homes.

7 Hanki amu'nompinti'ma refkoma haza ruga'a Manase nagara Mosese'a Basani kazigati mago mopa ko zami'ne. Hanki Manase naga'ma amu'nompinti'ma refkoma hu'naza nagara Israeli vahe'mo'za'ma Jodani timofo zage fre kaziga mopama erinafinti Josua'a mopa zami'ne. Anama huteno'a Josua'a asomu ke huzamanteteno huzamantege'za seli nonkuma zamirega nevzageno,

(To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan, and to the other half Joshua gave land on the west side of the Jordan among their brothers.) When Joshua sent them to their homes he blessed them,

8 amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra rama'a feno zantamine bulimakao afu kevutamima, silvama, golima, bronsima, aenine, rama'a knare kukenanema, ha'ma hu zamagatereta eri'naza zantamina erita menina seli nonkuma tamirega vuta tamafuhe'zanena ome refko huta eriho.

saying, “Return to your homes with your great wealth, with immense herds of livestock, with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and very many clothes. Divide with your brothers the spoil of your enemies.”

9 Ana hutege'za, Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'mo'za Israeli vahera Kenani kaziga Sailo kumate zamatre'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosese asami'nea kante ante'za eri'naza moparega Gileati vu'naze.

So the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan to return to their own land of Gilead, which they had acquired according to the command of the LORD through Moses.

10 Hanki Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'mo'zama Kenani Mopa atre'za Jodani ti tava'onte Geliloti ete'za, anante tusi'a kresramna vu ita tro hu'naze.

And when they came to Geliloth near the Jordan in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an imposing altar there by the Jordan.

11 Hagi anama hazazana mago'a vahe'mo'za kete'za vu'za Israeli vahe'mokizmia ome zmasami'za, Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'mo'za vu'za Kenani mopama ome atretega Gelilotia, Jodani timofo tavaonte tagri mopa kaziga, Kresramana vu ita ome tro hu'naze hazage'za,

Then the Israelites received the report: “Behold, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar on the border of the land of Canaan, at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side.”

12 ana zamofo nanekema nentahi'za ana maka Israeli vahe'mo'za oti'za ha' huzmante'naku Sailo kumate eri tru hu'za trotra hu'naze.

And when they heard this, the whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh to go to war against them.

13 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za pristi ne' Eleazar nemofo Fineasina huntazageno, Rubenima, Gatima, amu'nompinti'ma refko hu'za vu'naza Manase naga'ma Gileatima mani'narega vu'ne.

The Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the land of Gilead, to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

14 Hanki Finiasi'enena 10ni'a vugagota kva vahetamine huzmantazage'za vu'naze. Ana vahera tauseni'a Israeli vahepima mago'mago naga'nofi'ma mani'nafintira vugagota hu'naza vahe'age, mago'mago huhamprintetere hazage'za vu'naze.

With him they sent ten chiefs—one family leader from each tribe of Israel, each the head of a family among the clans of Israel.

15 Hanki Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'ma hu'za Gileati kumate'ma mani'nare e'za amanage hu'za eme zamasmi'naze,

They went to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead and said to them,

16 ana maka Ra Anumzamofo kevu naga'mo'za amanage hu'za hu'naze. Na'ahigeta amanahu tamavu tamavara huta Ra Anumzamofona antahi omi'naze. Na'ahigeta Ra Anumzamofona tamefira humita ke'a rutagreta menina ama kresramna vu ita Ra Anumzamofoma ha'marente'zana tamagra tro hu'naze.

“This is what the whole congregation of the LORD says: ‘What is this breach of faith you have committed today against the God of Israel by turning away from the LORD and building for yourselves an altar, that you might rebel against the LORD this day?

17 Kora Peori kumate'ma, mani'neta kumi hunkeno Ra Anumzamo'a mago kri atregeno vahe'a eme zamazeri haviza hu'neane, hagi meninena ana kumimo'a tatreno ovu'ne. Tamagrama antahi'zana ana hazenke zamo'a knare hu'nefi, ana hu'negeta mago'ene ru hazenkea nehazo?

Was not the sin of Peor enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day? It even brought a plague upon the congregation of the LORD.

18 Hagi menina Ra Anumzamofona tamamefira hunemize, menima Ra Anumzamofoma Agri kema ontahita ha'ma rentesageno'a, okina Agra ana maka Israeli vahe'mota rimpa aherantegahie.

And now, would you turn away from the LORD? If you rebel today against the LORD, tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

19 Hagi mopa tamimo'ma Anumzamofo avure'ma havizama hu'ne hutama hanuta, tamagra eta tagri mopafima Ra Anumzamofo seli mono noma me'nere, Agri mopa fatgofi tagrane emaniho. Hanki tamagra na'a hu'negeta Ra Anumzamofona ke'a antahi nomita tagrira tatreta vuta, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo Kresramana vu itama ko'ma me'neana atreta, ru kresramna vu ita tro nehaze.

If indeed the land of your inheritance is unclean, then cross over to the land of the LORD’s possession, where the LORD’s tabernacle stands, and take possession of it among us. But do not rebel against the LORD or against us by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.

20 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma i'o hu'nea zantamima, Zera nemofo Akani'ma Jeriko rankumapinti'ma Ra Anumzamofo ke'ma ru tagreno'ma eri'nea kumi'amofo kna'a agrakera ofri'neanki mago'a nema agri kumimofo kna'ama eri'za fri'naza zana tamagera okaniho.

Was not Achan son of Zerah unfaithful regarding what was set apart for destruction, bringing wrath upon the whole congregation of Israel? Yet it was not only Achan who perished because of his sin!’”

21 Anante Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a amu'nompinti refkoma hu'naza Manase naga'mo'za oti'za Israeli vahepima nagate nofite'ma ugagota hu'naza vahera amanage hu'za zamasmi'naze,

Then the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered the leaders of the clans of Israel:

22 hankavenentake Anumzana Ra Anumzana Agrake mani'ne, magoke hankavenentake hu'nea Ra Anumzamo Agra antahi'ne, hu'negu Israeli vahe'motanena antahiho, tagrama Ra Anumzamofo kema rutagrege, Agri kasegema ovariri nesunketa menina oratreta tahe friho.

“The LORD, the Mighty One, is God! The LORD, the Mighty One, is God! He knows, and may Israel also know. If this was in rebellion or breach of faith against the LORD, do not spare us today.

23 Hanki tagrama Ra Anumzamofoma tamefi humi kazigati'ma kresramna vu ofama huge, witi ofa huge, mago tarimpa hu ofama hu kresramna vu itama tro'ma hu'nesunkeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a tagrira tazeri haviza hugahie.

If we have built for ourselves an altar to turn away from Him and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings on it, or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it, may the LORD Himself hold us accountable.

24 Hianagi tagrama ana itama tro'ma hu'nonana, henkama tamagri tamagehe'za, tagri tageheinku hu'za, tagri Ra Anumzantera monora huontege, amagera ontegahazema hu'za hu'zanku koro huta tro hu'none.

But in fact we have done this for fear that in the future your descendants might say to ours, ‘What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?

25 Hanki tagri'ene, tamagri'ene amu'nompina Ra Anumzamo Jodani tinte mopamofo agema'a ante'neankita, tamagra Rubeni naga'ene Gati nagara tagri naga omani'naze nehu'za, Anumzana tamagri Anumza omani'neankita monora huonteho hu'za hu'zanku koro huta ana ita tro hu'none.

For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you Reubenites and Gadites. You have no share in the LORD!’ So your descendants could cause ours to stop fearing the LORD.

26 E'ina agafare amanage hu'none, kresramna vu itama tro'ma hu'nonana tevefima kresramna vu ofa hu ito, mago'a zama kresramna vu ofa hu ita trora osu'none.

That is why we said, ‘Let us take action and build an altar for ourselves, but not for burnt offerings or sacrifices.

27 Hagi tamagri'ene tagri'enena ama anazamo'a mago avame'za mane'neno, tagehezama henkama fore'ma hanaza vahera zamaveri huno, tagranena Ra Anumzana Agriteke monora hunentone hugahaze. Ana hanige'za tamagranena Ra Anumzamofo avurera tevefi kresramna vu ofane, ruzahu ruzahu ofaramine, rimpa fru ofanena mono noma'afina hunentaze hugahaze. Ru ete henka tamagri tamagehe'za tagri tagehe'inku hu'za tamagra Ra Anumzamofo vahe omani'naze huzanku anara hu'none.

Rather, let it be a witness between us and you and the generations to come, that we will worship the LORD in His presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and peace offerings.’ Then in the future, your descendants cannot say to ours, ‘You have no share in the LORD!’

28 E'ina hu'negu tagra amanage huta hu'none, tamagrama amanahu kema tagritero, tagehe'inte'ma hanageta amanage huta zamasmigahune huta hu'none, Ra Anumzamofo kresramna vu itama tafahezama tro hazageno me'neana keho, mago kresramna vu ofa huge, ruzahu ruzahu ofa hu ita trora osu'nonanki tamagri'ene tagri'ene amu'nompina, ama ana itamo'a mago avame'za me'ne huta hugahune.

Therefore we said, ‘If they ever say this to us or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the altar of the LORD that our fathers made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’

29 Tagrama ama ana itama tro'ma hu'nonana, tevefi kre fanane hu ofa huge, witi ofa huge, ruzahu ruzahu ofama hu ita trora osu'none. Tagra e'inama hanuta, Ra Anumzamofona tamefi humita ke'a rutagregahune. Hagi Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo itama seli mono nomofo avugama me'nea kresramna vu itamofo noma eri'nigure huta trora huonte'none.

Far be it from us to rebel against the LORD and turn away from Him today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings, or sacrifices, other than the altar of the LORD our God, which stands before His tabernacle.”

30 Hanki pristi ne' Fineasi'ene Israeli vahepima mago mago naga nofite'ma ugagota hutere hu'naza vahe'mo'za, Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, Manase naga'mo'zama hazankema nentahi'za, zamagra zamarimpa fru nehu'za muse hu'naze.

When Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the congregation—the heads of Israel’s clans who were with him—heard what the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh had to say, they were satisfied.

31 Hanki anante pristi ne' Eleazari nemofo Finiasi'a, Rubenima, Gatine, Manase nagara amanage huno zamasami'ne, menina tagrama keama'ma hunana Ra Anumzamo'a tagrane mani'ne. Na'ankure tamagra Ra Anumzamofo ke'a tamefira huonte'naze, e'inama hazana maka Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzamofo azampintira tagu'vazize.

Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the descendants of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this breach of faith against Him. Consequently, you have delivered the Israelites from the hand of the LORD.”

32 Ana keagama hute'za pristi ne' Eleaza nemofo Finiasi'ene Israeli nagapi nagate nofite ugagota hu'naza kva vahe'mo'za ete Kenani e'za Rubenine, Gati, naga'enema keagama hu'naza zamofo agenkea Israeli vahera Gileati kumate mani'nage'za eme zamisami'naze.

Then Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, together with the other leaders, returned to the Israelites in the land of Canaan and brought back a report regarding the Reubenites and Gadites in the land of Gilead.

33 Hanki anazamofo agenkema Israeli naga'mo'zama nentahi'za muse hu'za Anumzamofo ra agi nemi'za, Rubenine, Gati naga'ma nemaniza mopama ha' huzamanteta mopazamima eri haviza hugahunema hu'naza ke'a eri atre'naze.

The Israelites were satisfied with the report, and they blessed God and spoke no more about going to war against them to destroy the land where the Reubenites and Gadites lived.

34 Hanki Rubenine, Gati naga'mo'za ana itamofonkura hu'za Amu'nontifi Avame'za me'nena Ra Anumzana tagri Anumza mani'ne huta antahi amigahune hu'za agi'a antemi'naze.

So the Reubenites and Gadites named the altar Witness, for they said, “It is a witness between us that the LORD is God.”
