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,

In the same time, Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the one 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 he said to them: “You have done all that Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed you. You have also obeyed me in all things.

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.

Neither have you forsaken your brothers during this long time, even to the present day, keeping the orders of 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.

Therefore, since the Lord your God has given your brothers peace and quiet, just as he promised: return, and go into your tents and into the land of your possession, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, delivered to you beyond 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.

And may you continue to observe attentively, and to work to fulfill, the commandment and the law that Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed to you, so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, and keep all his commandments, and cling to him, and 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.

And Joshua blessed them, and he sent them away. And they returned to their tents.

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,

Now to the one half tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given a possession in Bashan. And therefore, to the one half that was left over, Joshua gave a lot among the remainder of their brothers across the Jordan, in the western region. And when he had blessed them and dismissed them to their tents,

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.

he said to them: “Return to your settlements with much substance and wealth, with silver and gold, brass and iron, and a multitude of garments. Divide the spoils of your enemies with your brothers.”

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.

And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the one half tribe of Manasseh returned, and they went away from the sons of Israel at Shiloh, which is situated in Canaan, so that they might enter into Gilead, the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the order of the Lord, by the hand of 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 had arrived at the hills of the Jordan in the land of Canaan, they built an altar of immense magnitude beside 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,

And when the sons of Israel had heard of it, and certain messengers had reported to them that the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh had built an altar in the land of Canaan, upon the hills of the Jordan, facing the sons of Israel,

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.

they all assembled at Shiloh, so that they might go up and battle 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.

And in the interim, they sent to them, in the land of Gilead, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the priest,

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.

and ten leaders with him, one from each tribe.

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,

And they went to the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they 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.

“All the people of the Lord declare this: What is this transgression? Why have you forsaken the Lord, the God of Israel, by building a sacrilegious altar, and by withdrawing from the worship of him?

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?

Is it a small thing to you that you have sinned with Baal of Peor, and that the stain of that crime continues among us, even to the present day? And many of the people have fallen.

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 yet you have forsaken the Lord today, and tomorrow his wrath will rage against all 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.

But if you consider the land of your possession to be unclean, cross over to the land in which is the tabernacle of the Lord, and live among us. But do not withdraw from the Lord, and from our fellowship, by building an altar contrary to 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.

Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, go against the commandment of the Lord, and so his wrath was laid over all the people of Israel? And he was only one man. If only he had perished in his wickedness alone!”

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,

And the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh responded to the leaders of the delegation from 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 almighty God, the Lord, the almighty God, he knows, and also Israel will understand: If we have constructed this altar with intent of transgression, let him not preserve us, but instead punish us immediately.

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.

And if we have acted with a mind so that we might present upon it holocausts, and sacrifice, and victims of peace offerings, let him inquire and judge.

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.

Instead, we have acted with this greater thought and design, that we would say: Tomorrow your sons will say to our sons: ‘What is there between you and 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.

The Lord has stationed the river Jordan as the border between us and you, O sons of Reuben, O sons of Gad. And therefore, you have no part in the Lord.’ And by this occasion, your sons would turn away our sons from the fear of the Lord. And so we sought something better,

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.

and we said: Let us build us an altar, not for holocausts, and not to offer victims,

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.

but as a testimony between us and you, and between our descendants and your progeny, so that we may serve the Lord, and so that it may be our right to offer holocausts, and victims, and peace offerings, and so that tomorrow your sons may not say to our sons: ‘You have no part 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.

And if they decide to say this, they shall respond to them: ‘Behold, the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for holocausts, and not for sacrifice, but instead as a testimony 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.

May this wickedness be far from us, such that we would withdraw from the Lord, and would forsake his paths, by constructing an altar to offer holocausts, and sacrifices, and victims, contrary to the altar of the Lord our God, which was built 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.

And when Phinehas, the priest, and the leaders of the delegation who were with him, had heard this, they were pleased. And they accepted very willingly the words of the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh.

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.

And Phinehas, the priest, the son of Eleazar, said to them: “Now we know that the Lord is with us. For you are a stranger to this transgression. And so you have freed the sons of Israel 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.

And he returned with the leaders, from the sons of Reuben and of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, into the parts of Canaan, to the sons of Israel. And he reported to them.

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.

And the word pleased all who heard it. And the sons of Israel praised God, and they no longer said that they would go up against them, and fight, and destroy the land of their possession.

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.

And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad called the altar that they had built: Our testimony that the Lord himself is God.
