Nomery 32
1 Ie amy zao ni-tsifotofoto ty añombe’ i fifokoa’ i Reòbene naho i Gade rey; aa ie nahaisake ty tane’ Ia’azère naho ty tane’ i Gilade, t’ie toe tane fiandrazañe añombe,
The tribes of Reuben and Gad had large numbers of livestock and saw that the land of Jazer and Gilead was a good place to rear them.
2 le nimb’amy Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe naho mb’amo talè’ i valobohòkeio mb’eo o ana’ i Gadeo naho o ana’ i Reòbeneo ninday ty saontsy ty hoe:
So they came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the Israelite leaders and said,
3 I Ataròte naho i Dibone, naho Iaazère, naho i Nimrà, naho i Kesbòne, naho i Elalè, naho i Sebàme, naho i Nebò vaho i Beòne;
“The towns of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 i tane ginio’ Iehovà añatrefa’ i valobohò’ Israeleiy, le tane fiandrazañe añombe, vaho aman’ añombe o mpitoro’oo.
which the Lord conquered in full view of the Israelites, are well-suited for the livestock that we your servants own.”
5 Tinovo’ iereo ty hoe: Aa naho nisoheñe am-pahaisaha’o, le atoloro amo mpitoro’oo i tane zay ho fanaña’e, fa ko minday anay hitsake Iardeney.
They continued, “Please respond to our request favorably: give us this land. Don't make us cross the Jordan.”
6 Aa hoe ty navale’i Mosè o ana’i Gadeo naho o ana’ i Reobeneo, Aa vaho hiatrek’ aly o rahalahi’ areoo, le hihànitse atoy avao nahareo?
In reply Moses asked the tribes of Gad and Reuben, “Are you expecting your brothers to go and fight while you just sit here?
7 Ino ty hampimamoa’ areo ty arofo’ o ana’ Israeleo tsy hitsaha’e mb’an-tane nitolora’ Iehovà mb’eo?
Why discourage the Israelites from crossing into the country that the Lord has given them?
8 Izay ty nanoen-droae’ areo te niraheko boak’e Kadese-Barnea hitilike i taney.
This is just what your fathers did when I sent them out from Kadesh-barnea to explore the land.
9 Amy t’ie nionjoñe mb’ am-bavatane’ i Eskòle mb’eo vaho nahaoniñe i taney le nahamohake ty arofo’ o ana’ Israeleo tsy hizilik’ an-tane natolo’ Iehovà iareo.
After your fathers traveled up the valley of Eshcol and explored the land, they discouraged the Israelites, persuading them not to enter the country that the Lord had given them.
10 Aa le nisolebotse amy andro zay ty haviñera’ Iehovà vaho nifanta ty hoe:
As a result, they made the Lord very angry that day, and he swore this oath,
11 Toe tsy amo lahilahy roapolo taoñe mañambone niavotse i Mitsraimeo ty hahaisake ty tane nifantàko amy Avrahame naho am’ Ietsàke naho am’ Iakòbe, amy t’ie tsy nañorik’ ahiko añ-kaàmpon-troke,
‘Not a single one of those I saved from Egypt who is twenty years old or older will ever see the land I promised with an oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they were not completely committed to me—
12 naho tsy i Kalebe ana’ Iefonè nte-Kenàze naho Iehosoa, ana’ i None, amy te norihe’ iareo an-kaliforan’ arofo t’Iehovà.
no one except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua, son of Nun, because they were completely committed to me.’
13 Aa le niforoforo am’ Israele ty haviñera’ Iehovà vaho nampirerererè’e am-patrambey añe efa-polo taoñe, am-para’ te nimodo iaby i tariratse nanao raty am-pivazohoa’ Iehovày.
The Lord was angry with Israel, and made them wander around in the desert for forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in his sight had died.
14 Le heheke! t’ie nitroatse handimbe an-droae’ areo nifirimboñan-kalòn-tserekeo, hanitrà’ areo ty haviñerañe mitrotrofiak’ Iehovà am’ Israele.
Now look at you, you brood of sinners who have come to take your fathers' place to make the Lord even angrier with Israel!
15 Aa ie miamboho, tsy mañorik’ aze, le ho farie’e am-patrambey ao indraike iereo, toly ndra harotsa’ areo ondaty retiañe.
If you give up following him, he will abandon these people in the desert once again, and their deaths will be your fault!”
16 Aa le niharivoa’ iareo nanao ty hoe: Hañamboara’ay goloboñe atoy o hare’aio vaho rova ho a o keleia’aio,
Then the tribes of Gad and Reuben came to Moses and told him, “We would plan to build stone walls to keep our livestock safe and towns for our children.
17 fe hitan-defon-jahay hiaolo o ana’ Israeleo ampara’ te nasese’ay an-toe’ iareo añe. Ie amy zay himoneñe an-drova iarikatohan-kijoly ao ty amo mpimoneñe amy taneio o keleia’aio.
But we will still get ourselves ready for battle, and we will be prepared to lead the Israelites until they can safely occupy their land. In the meantime, our children will stay behind, living in the fortified towns to protect them from the local people.
18 Tsy himpoly mb’ añ’ anjomba’ay mb’eo zahay naho tsy songa nandrambe ty lova’e o ana’ Israeleo.
We won't return to our homes until every Israelite is in possession of their allotted land.
19 Tsy hitrao-dova am’ iereo alafe’ Iardeney añe zahay, amy te nitsatoke ho anay atiñana’ Iardeney atoy ty lova’ay.
However, we won't own any land on the other side of the Jordan because we've received this land to own on this eastern side of the Jordan.”
20 Hoe t’i Mosè am’ iereo: Aa naho toe hanoe’ areo izay, t’ie hitan-defoñe aolo’ Iehovà veka’e hialy,
Moses responded, “If this is what you will actually do, if you will get yourselves ready for battle under the Lord's direction,
21 naho songa hitsake Iardaney añatrefa’ Iehovà o lahin-defo’ areoo, ampara’ te fonga hanoe’e soike aolo’e eo o rafelahi’eo,
and if all your troops cross the Jordan with the Lord until he has driven out his enemies ahead of him,
22 naho hene vinahotse añatrefa’ Iehovà i taney; izay vaho himpoly nahareo, le ho afa-tahiñe añatrefa’ Iehovà naho aolo’ Israele, vaho ho fanaña’ areo añatrefa’ Iehovà ty tane atoy.
then once the country is conquered with the Lord's help then you may return, and you will have fulfilled your obligations to the Lord and to Israel. You will own this land, granted to you by the Lord.
23 F’ie tsy hanoe’ areo, le inao! hanan-kakeo am’ Iehovà; le iantofo te hifanojo ama’ areo ty tahi’ areo.
But if you fail to do this, you will clearly be sinning against the Lord, and the consequences of your sin will catch up with you.
24 Añoreño rova o keleia’ areoo vaho goloboño o añondri’ areoo, le ano o nakarem-palie’ areo iabio.
Go ahead and build towns for your children and stone walls for your flocks, but make sure you do what you've promised!”
25 Aa le nanao ty hoe amy Mosè o nte-Gadeo naho o nte-Reòbeneo: Hanoe’ o mpitoro’oo ze andilian-talè’ay.
The tribes of Gad and Reuben promised Moses, “Sir, we your servants will do just as you have ordered.
26 Hitobe amo rova’ i Giladeo o keleia’aio naho o vali’aio vaho o hare’ay iabio,
Our wives and children, our livestock and all our animals, will all remain here in the towns of Gilead.
27 fe hitsake mb’eo o mpitoro’oo, songa lahilahy aman-defoñe veka’e hialy hihotakotake ho a Iehovà, amy nandilia’ i talèkoiy.
But we your servants are ready for battle, and all our troops will cross over to fight with the Lord's help, just as you have said, sir.”
28 Aa le linili’i Mosè t’i Elazare mpisoroñe naho Iehosoa ana’ i None vaho o talèn’ anjombam-pifokoa’ Israeleo ty am’ iereo,
Moses gave the following instructions about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua, son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.
29 le nanoe’ i Mosè ty hoe: Naho mindre ama’ areo mitsake Iardeney añatrefa’ Iehovà ze hene mpitan-defo veka’e hialy amo ana’ i Gadeo naho amo ana’ i Reòbeneo, naho ampiambanèñe aolo’ areo i taney, le atoloro iareo ty tane’ i Gilade ho fanaña’e.
Moses told them, “If the tribes of Gadites and Reuben cross the Jordan with you, with all their troops ready for battle with the Lord's help, and the land is conquered as you advance, then give them the land of Gilead to own.
30 F’ie tsy mitsake reke-pialiañe mindre ama’ areo le hanam-panañañe miharo ama’ areo an-tane Kanàne ao.
But if they don't get themselves ready for battle and cross over with you, then they must accept their allotted land among you in the country of Canaan.”
31 Le hoe ty natoi’ o nte-Gadeo naho o nte-Reòbeneo, Ze nitsara’ Iehovà amo mpitoro’oo ro hanoe’ay.
The tribes of Gad and Reuben responded, “We will do just as the Lord has told us, your servants.
32 Hitsake reke-pialiañe añatrefa’ Iehovà zahay mb’ an-tane Kanàne mb’ eo fe hitobok’ atiñana’ Iardeney atoy ty hanañañe nilovà’aiy.
We will cross over and enter the country of Canaan ready for battle with the Lord's help, so that we may have our allotted share of land on this side of the Jordan.”
33 Aa le natolo’ i Mosè amo nte-Gadeo naho amo nte-Reòbeneo vaho ami’ty vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasè ana’ Iosefe, ty fehe’ i Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Amoreo naho ty fehe’ i Oge mpanjaka’ i Basàne, i taney rekets’ o rova’eo naho o tanàñe mañohokeo rekets’ o tane’eo.
So Moses gave to the tribes of Gad and Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan. This land included its towns and their surrounding area.
34 Le namboare’ o nte-Gadeo ty Dibòne, naho i Ataròte, naho i Aroère,
The people of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 naho i Atròte-sofàne, naho Ia’azère, naho Iogbehà,
Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 naho i Bète Nimrà, vaho i Bete Haràne, songa rova aman-kijoly naho golobon’ añondry.
Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified towns, and they built stone walls for their flocks.
37 Le namboare’ o nte-Reòbeneo ty Kesbòne, naho i Elalè, vaho i Kiriatàime,
The people of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 naho i Nibò, naho i Baalmeòne, (ie novaeñe o añara’ iareoo) vaho i Sebàme, le nomeañe añarañe ze rova namboare’ iereo.
as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (changing their names), and Sibmah. In fact they renamed those towns they rebuilt.
39 Le nomb’e Gilade mb’eo o tarira’ i Makire ana’ i Menasèo le tinava’ iereo vaho nanoe’ iereo soike o nte-Amore tama’eo.
The descendants of Machir, son of Manasseh, attacked Gilead and captured it. They drove out the Amorites who were living there.
40 Aa le natolo’ i Mosè amy Makire ana’ i Menasè ty Gilade le nimoneña’e.
So Moses gave Gilead to the family of Machir, son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
41 Rinambe’ Iaìre ka o tanà’eo vaho nitokave’e Kavòte Iaìre.
Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, attacked their villages and captured them. He named them the Villages of Jair.
42 Nomb’eo ka t’i Nòbake nitavañe i Kenàte naho o tanà’eo, le nitokave’e ty hoe Nobake, i tahina’ey avao.
Nobah attacked Kenath and captured it, along with its villages. He named it Nobah after himself.
