Lakkoobsa 32

1 Ilmaan Ruubeenii fi ilmaan Gaad warri loonii fi bushaayee hedduu qaban akka biyyi Yaʼizeerii fi biyyi Giliʼaad horii isaaniitiif tolu argan.

Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a great number of cattle: and when they saw that the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was a good place for cattle;

2 Isaan gara Musee, gara Eleʼaazaar lubichaatii fi gara hooggantoota waldaa dhufanii akkana jedhan;

The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the meeting,

3 “Axaaroti, Diiboon, Yaʼizeer, Niimraa, Heshboon, Eleʼaalee, Sebaamaa, Neboo fi Beʼoon,

Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 biyyi Waaqayyo fuula waldaa Israaʼel duratti rukute sun horiif tolaa dha; nu tajaajiltoonni kees horii qabna.

The land which the Lord gave into the hands of the children of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have cattle.

5 Yoo nu fuula kee duratti fudhatama argannee jiraanne biyyi kun nu tajaajiltoota keetiif handhuuraa taʼee haa kennamu. Akka nu Yordaanos gama ceenus hin godhin.”

And they said, With your approval, let this land be given to your servants as their heritage: do not take us over Jordan.

6 Museenis ilmaan Gaadii fi ilmaan Ruubeeniin akkana jedhe; “Obboloonni keessan duula dhaqanii isin immoo as teessuu?

And Moses said to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben, Are your brothers to go to the war, while you take your rest here?

7 Isin maaliif akka Israaʼeloonni biyya Waaqayyo isaanii kenne sanatti ceʼanii hin galleef abdii isaan kutachiiftuu?

Why would you take from the children of Israel the desire to go over into the land which the Lord has given them?

8 Kun waanuma abbootiin keessan gaafa ani akka isaan biyyattii ilaalaniif jedhee Qaadesh Barnee irraa isaan erge sana hojjetanii dha.

So did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

9 Isaanis erga gara Sulula Eshkool dhaqanii biyya sana arganii booddee akka Israaʼeloonni biyya Waaqayyo isaaniif kennetti hin galleef abdii isaan kutachiisan.

For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they took from the children of Israel the desire to go into the land which the Lord had given them.

10 Dheekkamsi Waaqayyoos guyyuma sana bobaʼe; innis akkana jedhee kakate;

And at that time the Lord was moved to wrath, and made an oath, saying,

11 ‘Waan isaan garaa guutuudhaan na faana deemuu didaniif, namoota waggaa digdamaatii fi hammasii olii kanneen biyya Gibxiitii baʼanii dhufan keessaa namni tokko iyyuu biyya ani Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobiif waadaa gale sana hin argu.

Truly, not one of the men of twenty years old and over who came out of Egypt will see the land which I gave by oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they have not been true to me with all their heart;

12 Kaaleb ilma Yefunee kan gosa Qeneezii fi Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni malee namni tokko iyyuu hin argu; isaan lamaan garaa guutuudhaan Waaqayyo duukaa buʼaniiruutii.’

But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, the son of Nun: because they have been true to the Lord.

13 Dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo Israaʼel irratti bobaʼe; innis hamma dhaloonni fuula isaa duratti waan hamaa hojjete sun hundi dhumutti akka isaan waggaa afurtama gammoojjii keessa jooran godhe.

Then the Lord was angry with Israel, and he made them wanderers in the waste land for forty years? till all that generation who had done evil in the eyes of the Lord was dead.

14 “Yaa sanyii cubbamootaa nana, isin kunoo dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo kan Israaʼel irratti bobaʼe sana ittuma caalchisuuf iddoo abbootii keessanii buutaniirtu.

And now you have come to take the place of your fathers, another generation of sinners, increasing the wrath of the Lord against Israel.

15 Yoo isin isa duukaa buʼuu irraa garagaltan inni ammas gammoojjii kana keessatti saba kana hunda ni dhiisa; isinis uummata kana ni balleessitu.”

For if you are turned away from him, he will send them wandering again in the waste land; and you will be the cause of the destruction of all this people.

16 Isaan gara isaa dhufanii akkana jedhaniin; “Nu asitti horii keenyaaf dallaa, dubartootaa fi ijoollee keenyaaf immoo magaalaawwan ijaarra.

Then they came to him, and said, We will make safe places for our cattle here, and towns for our little ones;

17 Nu garuu hamma lafa isaaniitiin isaan geenyutti hidhannee Israaʼel dura deemuuf qophaaʼoo dha. Yeroo kanatti akka jiraattoonni biyyattii isaan hin tuqneef dubartoonnii fi ijoolleen keenya magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qaban keessa haa jiraatan.

But we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel till we have taken them to their place: but our little ones will be safe in the walled towns against the people of the land.

18 Hamma tokkoon tokkoon Israaʼelootaa dhaala ofii isaanii argatanitti nu mana keenyatti hin deebinu.

We will not come back to our houses till every one of the children of Israel has come into his heritage.

19 Sababii dhaalli keenya laga Yordaanos irraa gara baʼaatti nuuf kennameef nu Yordaanos irraa gama kaaniin isaan wajjin waan dhaallu hin qabnu.”

For we will not have our heritage with them on the other side of Jordan and forward; because our heritage has come to us on this side of Jordan to the east.

20 Museenis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yoo isin waan kana gootan, yoo isin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hidhattanii duulaaf kaatan,

Then Moses said to them, If you will do this, arming yourselves to go before the Lord to the war,

21 yoo isin hundinuu hamma inni diinota ofii isaa fuula ofii isaa duraa ariʼee baasutti hidhattanii fuula Waaqayyoo dura Yordaanosin ceetan,

Every armed man of you going across Jordan before the Lord till he has overcome and sent in flight all who are against him,

22 yeroo biyyattiin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti moʼatamtutti isin itti gaafatama Waaqayyoo fi saba Israaʼeliif qabdan irraa ni bilisoomtu. Biyyi sunis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhaala keessan taʼa.

And the land is under the rule of the Lord: then after that you may come back, having done no wrong to the Lord and to Israel; and this land will be yours for your heritage before the Lord.

23 “Garuu isin yoo waan kana gochuu baattan, kunoo Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjechuu keessan; akka cubbuun keessan isin argatu illee beekkadhaa.

But if you do not do this, then you are sinners against the Lord; and you may be certain that your sin will have its reward.

24 Dubartootaa fi ijoollee keessaniif magaalaawwan, bushaayee keessaniif immoo dallaa ijaaraa; isin garuu waan waadaa galtan sana guutaa.”

So get to work building your towns for your little ones, and safe places for your sheep; and do as you have said.

25 Ilmaan Gaadii fi ilmaan Ruubeen Museedhaan akkana jedhan; “Nu garboonni kee akkuma gooftaan keenya nu ajaju goona.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said to Moses, Your servants will do as my lord says.

26 Ijoolleen keenyaa fi niitonni keenya, bushaayeen keenyaa fi loon keenya, asuma magaalaawwan Giliʼaaditti haa hafan.

Our little ones, our wives, and our flocks, and all our cattle, will be there in the towns of Gilead;

27 Nu garboonni kee garuu tokkoon tokkoon keenya akkuma gooftaan keenya jedhe sana duulaaf qophoofnee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti duuluuf ni ceena.”

But your servants will go over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to the fight, as my lord says.

28 Ergasiis Museen waaʼee isaanii Eleʼaazaar lubichaaf, Iyyaasuu ilma Nuunitii fi abbootii maatii gosoota Israaʼeliif ajaja kenne.

So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel.

29 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yoo ilmaan Gaadii fi ilmaan Ruubeen, namni waraanaaf hidhate hundi fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isin wajjin Yordaanos ceʼe, yommuu biyyattiin isin harka galtutti biyya Giliʼaad sana kennaafii.

And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:

30 Garuu isaan yoo duulaaf hidhatanii isin wajjin ceʼuu baatan, Kanaʼaan keessatti isin wajjin lafa haa argatan.”

But if they do not go over with you armed, they will have to take their heritage with you in the land of Canaan.

31 Ilmaan Gaadii fi ilmaan Ruubeenis akkana jedhanii deebii kennan; “Nu garboonni kee waan Waaqayyo jedhe ni goona.

Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said, As the Lord has said to your servants, so will we do.

32 Nu miʼa lolaa hidhannee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ceenee Kanaʼaan seenna; garuu qabeenyi nu dhaallu Yordaanosiin gamatti nuuf haa hafu.”

We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and you will give us our heritage on this side of Jordan.

33 Museenis mootummaa Sihoon mootii Amoorotaa fi mootummaa Oogi mootii Baashaan jechuunis biyya sana guutuu magaalaawwan isaaniitii fi bulchiinsa naannoo isaanii jiru sana ilmaan Gaadiitiif, ilmaan Ruubeeniitii fi walakkaa gosa Minaasee ilma Yoosefiif kenne.

So Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and Og, king of Bashan, all the land with its towns and the country round them.

34 Ilmaan Gaadis magaalaawwan Diiboon, Axaaroti, Aroʼeer,

And the children of Gad were the builders of Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer;

35 Atroot Shoofaan, Yaʼizeer, Yogbihaa,

And Atroth-shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah;

36 Beet Niimraa fi Beet haaraan magaalaawwan jajjaboo godhanii ijaaran. Bushaayee isaaniitiifis dallaa ijaarratan.

And Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran: walled towns and shut-in places for sheep.

37 Ilmaan Ruubeenis magaalaawwan Heshboon, Eleʼaaleenii fi Kiriyaataayim,

And the children of Reuben were the builders of Heshbon and Elealeh and Kiriathaim;

38 akkasumas Neboo fi Baʼaal Meʼoon jechuunis magaalaawwan maqaan isaanii geeddaramee fi Sibimaa deebisanii ijaaran. Isaanis magaalaawwan deebisanii ijaaran sanaaf maqaa baasan.

And Nebo and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the towns they made.

39 Ijoolleen Maakiir ilma Minaasees gara Giliʼaad dhaqanii biyyattii qabatanii Amoorota achi turan ariʼanii baasan.

And the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

40 Museenis Giliʼaadin ijoollee Maakiir sanyii Minaaseetiif kenne; isaanis achi qubatan.

And Moses gave Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he made it his living-place.

41 Yaaʼiir ilmi Minaasees dhaqee gandoota isaanii fudhatee gandoota Yaaʼiirootaa jedhee moggaase.

And Jair, the son of Manasseh, went and took the towns of Gilead, naming them Havvoth-Jair.

42 Noobaan immoo Qeenaatii fi gandoota naannoo isaa jiran qabatee Noobaa jedhee maqaa ofii isaatiin waame.

And Nobah went and took Kenath and its small towns, naming it Nobah, after himself.
