Nomery 32
1 Ary nanana omby aman’ ondry be indrindra ny taranak’ i Robena sy ny taranak’ i Gada; ary rehefa nahita ny tany Jazera sy ny tany Gileada izy, fa tany tsara ho fiandrasana omby aman’ ondry io,
Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.
2 dia avy ny taranak’ i Gada sy ny taranak’ i Robena ka niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona sy tamin’ ny lohan’ ny fiangonana ka nanao hoe:
So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
3 Atarota sy Dibona sy Jazera sy Nimra sy Hesbona sy Elale sy Sebama sy Nebo ary Beona,
“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 ireo tany noresen’ i Jehovah teo anoloan’ ny fiangonan’ ny Isiraely, dia tany tsara ho fiandrasana omby aman’ ondry, ary ny mpanomponao manana omby aman’ ondry;
which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”
5 dia hoy koa izy: Raha mahita fitia eo imasonao izahay; aoka homena anay mpanomponao ho zara-taninay io tany io; fa aza ampitaina an’ i Jordana izahay.
“If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”
6 Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Gada sy ny taranak’ i Robena: Ny rahalahinareo handeha hanafika, ka ianareo kosa hijanona eto va?
But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7 Nahoana ianareo no mampiketraka ny fon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, mba tsy handehanany ho any amin’ ny tany izay nomen’ i Jehovah azy?
Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?
8 Izany no nataon’ ny rainareo, fony nirahiko avy tao Kadesi-barnea hisafo ny tany izy;
This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.
9 fa raha niakatra hatrany an-dohasaha Eskola izy ka nahita ny tany, dia nampiketraka ny fon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy, mba tsy handehanany ho any amin’ ny tany izay efa nomen’ i Jehovah azy.
For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.
10 Ary nirehitra ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah tamin’ izay andro izay, dia nianiana Izy ka nanao hoe:
So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
11 Ny olona izay niakatra avy tany Egypta, hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, dia tsy hisy hahita ny tany izay efa nianianako tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba homena azy, satria tsy tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana Ahy izy;
‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—
12 afa-tsy Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone Kenizita, sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, izay tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah.
not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’
13 Dia nirehitra tamin’ ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka nampirenireny azy tany an-efitra efa-polo taona Izy mandra-pahalany ritra ny taranaka rehetra izay nanao ratsy teo imason’ i Jehovah.
The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.
14 Ary, indreto, ianareo mitsangana hisolo ny rainareo, ho taranaka mbola mpanota, hampitombo ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah amin’ ny Isiraely.
Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.
15 Fa raha miala amin’ ny fanarahana Azy ianareo dia hamela azy any an-efitra Indray Izy; ka dia ianareo no handringana izao olona rehetra izao.
For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”
16 Ary dia nanatona azy izy ireo ka nanao hoe: Hanao vala eto izahay ho an’ ny omby aman’ ondrinay sy tanàna koa ho an’ ny zanakay madinika;
Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.
17 fa ny tenanay dia hiomana faingana handroso eo alohan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mandra-pitondranay azy ho any amin’ ny taniny; ary ny zanakay madinika dia hitoetra amin’ ny tanàna mimanda noho ny mponina amin’ ny tany.
But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.
18 Tsy hody any an-tranonay izahay, mandra-pahazon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny zara-taniny avy.
We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.
19 Fa tsy hiara-mandray zara-tany aminy izahay hatrany an-dafin’ i Jordana no ho miankandrefana, satria efa azonay atỳ an-dafy atsinanan’ i Jordana atỳ ny zara-taninay.
Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”
20 Dia hoy Mosesy taminy: Raha hanao izany zavatra izany ianareo ka hiomana eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ho any an-tafika,
Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,
21 ary rehefa samy efa voaomana hiady, dia hita ho any an-dafin’ i Jordana eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, mandra-pandroakany ny fahavalony hiala eo anoloany,
and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,
22 ka ho resy eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ny tany; ary rehefa vita izany, dia hody ianareo ka tsy hanan-tsiny, na amin’ i Jehovah, na amin’ ny Isiraely; ary ity tany ity ho zara-taninareo eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.
23 Fa raha tsy hanao izany kosa ianareo, dia manota amin’ i Jehovah; ary aoka ho fantatrareo fa hanody anareo ny fahotanareo.
But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.
24 Manaova tanàna ho an’ ny zanakareo madinika sy vala ho an’ ny ondry aman’ osinareo, ka ataovy izay naloaky ny vavanareo.
Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
25 Dia niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ny taranak’ i Gada sy ny taranak’ i Robena ka nanao hoe: Ny mpanomponao dia hanao araka izay andidianao, tompoko:
The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
26 ny zanakay madinika sy ny vadinay sy ny ondry aman’ osinay ary ny biby fiompinay rehetra dia hitoetra ato amin’ ny tanànan’ i Gileada;
Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
27 fa ny mpanomponao handeha hita, samy efa voaomana hiady eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ho any an-tafika, araka izay nolazainao, tompoko.
But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”
28 Ary Mosesy dia nandidy an’ i Eleazara mpisorona sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny firenen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny amin’ ireo
So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.
29 ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha handeha hita an’ i Jordana hiaraka aminareo ny taranak’ i Gada sy ny taranak’ i Robena, samy efa voaomana hiady eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ka ho resy ny tany eo anoloanareo, dia homenareo azy ny tany Gileada ho zara-taniny;
And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
30 fa raha tsy mandeha samy efa voaomana hiady miaraka aminareo Izy, dia eo aminareo amin’ ny tany Kanana ihany no hahazoany zara-tany.
But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan.”
31 Dia namaly ny taranak’ i Gada sy ny taranak’ i Robena ka nanao hoe: Araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny mpanomponao no hataonay:
The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.
32 Izabay handeha hita eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ho any amin’ ny tany Kanana samy efa voaomana hiady, kanefa etỳ an-dafin’ i Jordana etỳ ihany no hahazoanay zara-tany.
We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”
33 Dia nomen’ i Mosesy ho an’ ny taranak’ i Gada sy ny taranak’ i Robena ary ny an-tsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase, zanak’ i Josefa, ny fanjakan’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorka, sy ny fanjakan’ i Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana dia ny tany mbamin’ ny tanànany ao amin’ ny fari-tany, dia ny tanàna eny amin’ ny tany manodidina.
So Moses gave to the Gadites, to the Reubenites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.
34 Ary ny taranak’ i Gada nanao an’ i Dibona sy Atarota sy Aroera
And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 sy Atrota-sofana sy Jazera ary Jogbeha
Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 sy Beti-nimra sy Beti-harana, tanàna mimanda, ary vala ho an’ ny ondry.
Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.
37 Ary ny taranak’ i Robena nanao an’ i Hesbona sy Elale sy Kiriataima
The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 sy Nebo sy Bala-meona (nefa novana ny anaran’ ireo) ary Sibma; ary nasiany anarana vaovao ny tanàna izay nataony.
as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.
39 Ary ny taranak’ i Makira, zanak’ i Manase, nankany Gileada ka nahafaka azy, dia nandroaka ny Amorita izay nonina teo.
The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
40 Ary Gileada dia nomen’ i Mosesy an’ i Makira, zanak’ i Manase, ka nonina tao izy.
So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
41 Ary Jaïra, zanak’ i Manase, nandeha ka nahafaka ny tanàna madinika teo, ary ny anarany nataony hoe Havota-jaïra.
Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.
42 Ary Noba nandeha ka nahafaka an’ i Kenata sy ny zana-bohiny, dia nataony hoe Noba, araka ny anarany izy.
And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
