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,
And the sons of Ruben and Gad had many flocks of cattle, and their substance in beasts was infinite. And when they saw the lands of Jazer and Galaad fit for feeding cattle,
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:
They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said:
3 Atarota sy Dibona sy Jazera sy Nimra sy Hesbona sy Elale sy Sebama sy Nebo ary Beona,
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, and 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;
The land, which the Lord hath conquered in the sight of the children of Israel, is a very fertile soil for the feeding of beasts: and we thy servants have very much cattle:
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.
And we pray thee, if we have found favour in thy sight, that thou give it to us thy servants in possession, and make us not pass over 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?
And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will 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 do ye overturn the minds of the children of Israel, that they may not dare to pass into the place which the Lord hath given them?
8 Izany no nataon’ ny rainareo, fony nirahiko avy tao Kadesi-barnea hisafo ny tany izy;
Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view 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.
And when they were come as far as the valley of the cluster, having viewed all the country, they overturned the hearts of the children of Israel, that they should not enter into the coasts, which the Lord gave them.
10 Ary nirehitra ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah tamin’ izay andro izay, dia nianiana Izy ka nanao hoe:
And he swore in his anger, 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;
If these men, that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land, which I promised with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: because they would not follow me,
12 afa-tsy Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone Kenizita, sy Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, izay tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah.
Except Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue the son of Nun: these have fulfilled my will.
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.
And the Lord being angry against Israel, led them about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that had done evil in his sight, was consumed.
14 Ary, indreto, ianareo mitsangana hisolo ny rainareo, ho taranaka mbola mpanota, hampitombo ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah amin’ ny Isiraely.
And behold, said he, you are risen up instead of your fathers, the increase and offspring of sinful men, to augment the fury 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 will not follow him, he will leave the people in the wilderness, and you shall be the cause of the destruction of all.
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;
But they coming near, said: We will make sheepfolds, and stalls for our cattle, and strong cities for our children:
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.
And we ourselves will go armed and ready for battle before the children of Israel, until we bring them in unto their places. Our little ones, and all we have, shall be in walled cities, for fear of the ambushes of the inhabitants.
18 Tsy hody any an-tranonay izahay, mandra-pahazon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny zara-taniny avy.
We will not return into our houses until the children of Israel possess their 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.
Neither will we seek any thing beyond the Jordan, because we have already our possession on the east side thereof,
20 Dia hoy Mosesy taminy: Raha hanao izany zavatra izany ianareo ka hiomana eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ho any an-tafika,
And Moses said to them: If you do what you promise, go on well appointed for war before the Lord:
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 let every fighting man pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow his enemies:
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.
And all the land be brought under him, then shall you be blameless before the Lord and before Israel, and you shall obtain the countries that you desire, 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 what you say, no man can doubt but you sin against God: and know ye, that your sin shall overtake you.
24 Manaova tanàna ho an’ ny zanakareo madinika sy vala ho an’ ny ondry aman’ osinareo, ka ataovy izay naloaky ny vavanareo.
Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish 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:
And the children of Gad and Ruben said to Moses: We are thy servants, we will do what my lord commandeth.
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;
We will leave our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad:
27 fa ny mpanomponao handeha hita, samy efa voaomana hiady eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ho any an-tafika, araka izay nolazainao, tompoko.
And we thy servants all well appointed will march on to the war, as thou, my lord, speakest.
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
Moses therefore commanded Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families of all the tribes of Israel, and said to them:
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;
If the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben pass with you over the Jordan, all armed for war before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you: give them Galaad in 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 will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you.
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:
And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so will we 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 go armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and we confess that we have already received our possession beyond 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.
Moses therefore gave to the children of Cad and of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasses the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and their land and the cities thereof round about.
34 Ary ny taranak’ i Gada nanao an’ i Dibona sy Atarota sy Aroera
And the sons of Cad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 sy Atrota-sofana sy Jazera ary Jogbeha
And Etroth, and Sophan, and Jazer, and Jegbaa,
36 sy Beti-nimra sy Beti-harana, tanàna mimanda, ary vala ho an’ ny ondry.
And Bethnemra, and Betharan, fenced cities, and folds for their cattle.
37 Ary ny taranak’ i Robena nanao an’ i Hesbona sy Elale sy Kiriataima
But the children of Ruben built Hesebon, and Eleale, and Cariathaim,
38 sy Nebo sy Bala-meona (nefa novana ny anaran’ ireo) ary Sibma; ary nasiany anarana vaovao ny tanàna izay nataony.
And Nabo, and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Sabama: giving names to the cities which they had built.
39 Ary ny taranak’ i Makira, zanak’ i Manase, nankany Gileada ka nahafaka azy, dia nandroaka ny Amorita izay nonina teo.
Moreover the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, went into Galaad, and wasted it, cutting off the Amorrhites, the inhabitants thereof.
40 Ary Gileada dia nomen’ i Mosesy an’ i Makira, zanak’ i Manase, ka nonina tao izy.
And Moses gave the land of Galaad to Machir the son of Manasses, and he dwelt in it.
41 Ary Jaïra, zanak’ i Manase, nandeha ka nahafaka ny tanàna madinika teo, ary ny anarany nataony hoe Havota-jaïra.
And Jair the son of Manasses went, and took the villages thereof, and he called them Havoth Jair, that is to say, the villages of Jair.
42 Ary Noba nandeha ka nahafaka an’ i Kenata sy ny zana-bohiny, dia nataony hoe Noba, araka ny anarany izy.
Nobe also went, and took Canath with the villages thereof: and he called it by his own name, Nobe.
