Tauanga 32
1 Na he tini rawa nga kahui a nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga tama a Kara: a ka kite ratou i te whenua o Iatere, i te whenua hoki o Kireara, na, he wahi pai tena wahi mo nga kahui;
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 Na ka haere nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena, ka korero ki a Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga, ki nga rangatira ano o te whakaminenga, ka mea,
They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said:
3 Ko Ataroto, ko Ripono, ko Iatere, ko Nimira, ko Hehepona, ko Ereare, ko Hepama, ko Nepo, ko Peono,
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 Ko te whenua katoa i patua na e Ihowa i te aroaro o te whakaminenga o Iharaira, he whenua pai tena mo nga kahui, he kahui ano hoki a au pononga.
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 I mea ano ratou, Mehemea e manakohia ana matou i tou aroaro, me homai tenei whenua hei kainga mo au pononga; kaua matou e meatia kia whiti i Horano.
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 Na ka mea a Miho ki nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena, Ko o koutou teina koia kia haere ki te whawhai, a ko koutou kia noho ki konei?
And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will you sit here?
7 He aha koutou i pehi ai i te ngakau o nga tama a Iharaira kia kaua e whiti ki te whenua i homai e Ihowa ki a ratou?
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 I pena ano o koutou matua i taku tononga atu i a ratou i Kareheparenea kia kite i te whenua.
Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view the land?
9 I to ratou haerenga hoki ki runga ki te awaawa o Ehekora, a, ka kite ratou i te whenua, na pehia ana e ratou nga ngakau o nga tama a Iharaira, kia kaua e haere ki te whenua i homai nei e Ihowa ki a ratou.
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 Na ko te muranga o to Ihowa riri i taua ra, a ka oati ia, ka mea,
And he swore in his anger, saying:
11 E kore rawa nga tangata i haere mai nei i Ihipa, nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau, e kite i te whenua i oati ai ahau ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa; mo ratou kihai i tino whai i ahau:
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 Heoi ano ko Karepe, ko te tama a Iepune Keniti, raua ko Hohua, te tama a Nunu; mo raua i tino whai i a Ihowa.
Except Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue the son of Nun: these have fulfilled my will.
13 Na ko te muranga o te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a meinga ana ratou kia kopikopiko i te koraha, e wha tekau nga tau, a poto noa taua whakapaparanga i mahi na i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa.
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 Na, kua ara ake na koutou hei whakakapi mo o koutou matua, he huanga tangata hara, hei whakanui atu i te mura o to Ihowa riri ki a Iharaira.
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 No te mea ki te tahuri ke koutou, a kahore e whai i a ia, ka waiho ano ratou e ia i te koraha; a ma koutou ka ngaro ai tenei iwi katoa.
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 Na ka whakatata ratou ki a ia, ka mea, Ka hanga e matou he taiepa hipi ki konei mo a matou kararehe, me etahi pa mo a matou tamariki:
But they coming near, said: We will make sheepfolds, and stalls for our cattle, and strong cities for our children:
17 Ko matou ia ka haere me a matou patu i mua i nga tama a Iharaira, kia kawea ra ano ratou e matou ki te wahi mo ratou: a me noho a matou tamariki ki nga pa e whai taiepa ana, he wehi hoki i nga tangata o tenei whenua.
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 E kore matou e hoki ki o matou whare, kia riro ra ano tona kainga i tenei, i tenei o nga tama a Iharaira.
We will not return into our houses until the children of Israel possess their inheritance:
19 E kore hoki matou e tu tahi me ratou i te kainga i tawahi o Horano, i tua atu ranei; no te mea ka riro mai he kainga mo matou i tenei taha o Horano, i te taha ki te rawhiti.
Neither will we seek any thing beyond the Jordan, because we have already our possession on the east side thereof,
20 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Ki te meatia tenei mea e koutou, ki te haere koutou me a koutou patu i te aroaro o Ihowa ki te whawhai,
And Moses said to them: If you do what you promise, go on well appointed for war before the Lord:
21 Ki te whiti katoa hoki koutou i Horano me a koutou patu i te aroaro o Ihowa, kia peia ra ano e ia ona hoariri i mua i a ia,
And let every fighting man pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow his enemies:
22 A ka taea te whenua i te aroaro o Ihowa: katahi koutou ka hoki, a ka harakore ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te aroaro ano hoki o Iharaira; a mo koutou tenei whenua hei nohoanga i te aroaro o Ihowa.
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 Tena ia, ka kore koutou e pena, nana, kua hara koutou ki a Ihowa; a kia mohio koutou, e hopukia ano koutou e to koutou hara.
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 Hanga nga pa mo a koutou tamariki, me nga taiepa mo a koutou hipi; meatia ano hoki te mea i puta mai i o koutou mangai.
Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish what you have promised.
25 Na ka korero nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena ki a Mohi, ka mea, Ka pena au pononga me ta toku ariki i whakahau ai.
And the children of Gad and Ruben said to Moses: We are thy servants, we will do what my lord commandeth.
26 Ko reira a matou tamariki, a matou wahine, a matou kahui, me a matou kararehe katoa, ko nga pa o Kireara:
We will leave our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad:
27 Ko au pononga ia me whiti katoa atu, rite rawa i te patu mo te pakanga, whawhai ai i te aroaro o Ihowa; me pera me ta toku ariki i ki ai.
And we thy servants all well appointed will march on to the war, as thou, my lord, speakest.
28 Na ka whakahaua te tikanga mo ratou e Mohi ki a Ereatara tohunga, ratou ko Hohua tama a Nunu, ko nga ariki hoki o nga whare o nga matua o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira:
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 A ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Ki te whiti katoa atu i roto i a koutou nga tama a Kara i Horano, ratou ko nga tama a Reupena me a ratou patu ano, whawhai ai i te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka taea te whenua i to koutou aroaro; na me hoatu e koutou te whenua o Kireara kia puritia e ratou:
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 Ki te kahore ia ratou e whiti tahi i a koutou, me a ratou patu, na, tena he wahi hei puritanga ma ratou i roto i a koutou i te whenua o Kanaana.
But if they will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you.
31 Na ka whakautua e nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena, ka mea, Ka rite tonu ta matou e mea ai ki ta Ihowa i korero mai ai ki au pononga.
And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so will we do:
32 Me whiti matou me a matou patu i te aroaro o Ihowa ki te whenua o Kanaana, a hei puritanga ma matou to matou kainga i tenei taha o Horano.
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 Na ka homai e Mohi ki a ratou, ki nga tama a Kara, ki nga tama a Reupena ratou ko tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi tama a Hohepa te kingitanga o Hihona kingi o nga Amori, me te kingitanga o Oka kingi o Pahana, te whenua me ona pa i roto i o ratou rohe, ara nga pa o te whenua a tawhio noa.
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 Na ka hanga e nga tama a Kara a Ripono, a Ataroto, a Aroere;
And the sons of Cad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Me Ateroto Hopana, me Iatere, me Iokopeta;
And Etroth, and Sophan, and Jazer, and Jegbaa,
36 Me Petenimira, me Peteharana: he pa taiepa, me nga taiepa mo nga hipi.
And Bethnemra, and Betharan, fenced cities, and folds for their cattle.
37 A na nga tama a Reupena i hanga a Hehepona, a Ereare, a Kiriataima;
But the children of Ruben built Hesebon, and Eleale, and Cariathaim,
38 A Nepo, a Paarameono, i whakaputaia ketia hoki nga ingoa, me Hipima: i huaina ano hoki e ratou he ingoa ke ki nga pa i hanga e ratou.
And Nabo, and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Sabama: giving names to the cities which they had built.
39 A i haere atu nga tama a Makiri tama a Manahi ki Kireara, a tangohia ana e ia, peia ana hoki te Amori i reira.
Moreover the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, went into Galaad, and wasted it, cutting off the Amorrhites, the inhabitants thereof.
40 A i hoatu e Mohi a Kireara ki a Makiri tama a Manahi; a noho ana ia i reira.
And Moses gave the land of Galaad to Machir the son of Manasses, and he dwelt in it.
41 A i haere a Haira tama a Manahi, a tangohia ana e ia nga pa o reira, a huaina iho e ia, ko Hawotohaira.
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 A i haere a Nopaha, a tangohia ana e ia a Kenata, me ona pa ririki, a huaina iho ki tona ingoa, ki a Nopaha.
Nobe also went, and took Canath with the villages thereof: and he called it by his own name, Nobe.
