Numeri 32
1 VaRubheni navaGadhi, vakanga vane mombe zhinji uye namakwai akawanda kwazvo, vakaona nyika yaJazeri neGireadhi kuti yakanga yakanakira zvipfuwo.
Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;
2 Saka vakauya kuna Mozisi naEreazari muprista nokuvatungamiri veungano, vakati,
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
3 “Ataroti, Dhibhoni, Jazeri, Nimira, Heshibhoni, Ereare, Sebhami, Nebho neBheoni,
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 nyika yakakundwa naJehovha pamberi pavanhu vaIsraeri, yakanakira zvipfuwo, uye varanda venyu vane zvipfuwo.”
[Even] the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
5 Vakati, “Kana tawana nyasha pamberi penyu, nyika iyi ngaipiwe kuvaranda venyu ive yedu. Musatiyambutsa Jorodhani.”
Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over Jordan.
6 Mozisi akati kuvaGadhi nokuvaRubheni, “Ko, vanhu venyika yokwenyu vangaenda kuhondo imi makagara henyu pano?
And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7 Ko, munoodzerei mwoyo yavaIsraeri kuti vasayambuka vachienda kunyika yavakapiwa naJehovha?
And why discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
8 Izvi ndizvo zvakaitwa namadzibaba enyu pandakavatuma kubva paKadheshi Bharinea kuti vandosora nyika.
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
9 Shure kwokukwira kwavo kuMupata weEshikori vakandoona nyika, vakaodza mwoyo yavaIsraeri kuti varege kupinda munyika yavakanga vapiwa naJehovha.
For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
10 Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakamutswa nomusi uyo uye akapika mhiko iyi:
And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
11 ‘Nokuda kwokuti havana kunditevera nomwoyo wose, hakuna mumwe wavo ane makore makumi maviri kana anodarika akabuda munyika yeIjipiti achaona nyika yandakanga ndavimbisa nemhiko kuna Abhurahama, Isaka naJakobho,
Surely none of the men that came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
12 hakuna mumwe wavo kunze kwaKarebhu mwanakomana waJefune muKenizi naJoshua mwanakomana waNuni nokuti vakatevera Jehovha nomwoyo wose.’
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
13 Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakapfuta pamusoro pavaIsraeri akavaita kuti vadzungaire murenje kwamakore makumi mana, kusvikira zera rose ravaya vakaita zvakaipa pamberi pake rapera.
And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was consumed.
14 “Hezvino muri pano, imi chibereko chavatadzi, mumire panzvimbo yamadzibaba enyu muchiwedzera kutsamwa kwaJehovha kukuru pamusoro pavaIsraeri.
And behold, ye have risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD towards Israel.
15 Kana mukatsauka pakumutevera, achasiyazve vanhu ava vose murenje, uye imi ndimi muchauyisa kuparadzwa kwavo.”
For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and he will destroy all this people.
16 Ipapo vakakwira kwaari vakati, “Tinoda kuvaka matanga ezvipfuwo zvedu kuno namaguta avakadzi vedu navana.
And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheep-folds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
17 Asi takagadzirira kurwa nokuenda mberi navaIsraeri kusvikira tavasvitsa kunzvimbo yavo. Pari zvino vakadzi vedu navana vedu vachagara mumaguta akakomberedzwa, kuti vadzivirirwe pavagari venyika ino.
But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 Hatizodzokeri kumisha yedu kusvikira vaIsraeri vose vagamuchira nhaka yavo.
We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
19 Hatizogamuchiri nhaka ipi zvayo pamwe chete navo mhiri kweJorodhani, nokuti nhaka yedu tava nayo kumabvazuva kweJorodhani.”
For we will not inherit with them on the other side of Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance hath fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.
20 Ipapo Mozisi akati kwavari, “Kana mukaita izvi, kana mukazvishongedza nhumbi dzokurwa pamberi paJehovha kuti mundorwa,
And Moses said to them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
21 uye kana imi mose mukaenda makashonga nhumbi dzokurwa mhiri kwaJorodhani pamberi paJehovha kusvikira adzinga vavengi vake pamberi pake,
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
22 ipapo kana nyika ichinge yakundwa pamberi paJehovha, mungadzokera henyu uye musununguke pabasa renyu pamberi paJehovha napamberi pavaIsraeri. Uye nyika iyi ichava yenyu pamberi paJehovha.
And the land shall be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
23 “Asi kana mukakoniwa kuita izvi, muchange matadzira Jehovha; uye zvirokwazvo chivi chenyu chichakuwanai.
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Vakai maguta avakadzi navana venyu, uye matanga amakwai enyu, asi muite zvamakavimbisa.”
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25 VaGadhi navaRubheni vakati kuna Mozisi, “Isu varanda venyu tichaita sezvarayirwa naishe wedu.
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
26 Vana vedu navakadzi vedu, makwai edu nemombe dzedu zvichasara kuno mumaguta eGireadhi.
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
27 Asi varanda venyu, varume vose vakazvigadzirira kundorwa, vachayambuka kundorwa pamberi paJehovha sezvataurwa naishe wedu.”
But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
28 Ipapo Mozisi akarayira pamusoro pavo kuna Ereazari muprista nokuna Joshua mwanakomana waNuni nokuvakuru vemhuri dzamarudzi avaIsraeri.
So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
29 Akati kwavari, “Kana vaGadhi navaRubheni, murume mumwe nomumwe akazvigadzirira kundorwa, vakayambuka Jorodhani nemi pamberi paJehovha, ipapo kana nyika ikakundwa pamberi pako, uvape nyika yeGireadhi ive yavo.
And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed for battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
30 Asi kana vakasayambuka nemi vakashonga zvokurwa, vanofanira kupiwa nhaka yavo pamwe chete nemi muKenani.”
But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31 VaGadhi navaRubheni vakapindura vakati, “Varanda venyu vachaita zvarehwa naJehovha.
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said to thy servants, so will we do.
32 Tichayambuka mhiri pamberi paJehovha tigopinda muKenani, takashonga nhumbi dzokurwa nadzo, asi nhaka yatichawana ichava kudivi rino reJorodhani.”
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be] ours.
33 Ipapo Mozisi akapa kuvaGadhi, navaRubheni nehafu yorudzi rwaManase, mwanakomana waJosefa, umambo hwaSihoni mambo wavaAmori noumambo hwaOgi mambo weBhashani, nyika yose namaguta ayo uye nenyika dzose dzakavapoteredza.
And Moses gave to them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with its cities in the borders, [even] the cities of the country around.
34 VaGadhi vakavaka Dhibhoni, Ataroti, Aroeri,
And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Ataroti Shafani, Jazeri, Jogubheha,
And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36 Bheti Nimura neBheti Harani samaguta akakomberedzwa, uye vakavaka matanga amakwai avo.
And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities: and folds for sheep.
37 Uye vaRubheni vakavakazve Heshibhoni, Ereare Kiriatihaimi,
And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38 pamwe chete neNebho neBhaari Meoni (mazita aya akashandurwa) neSibhima. Vakapa mazita kumaguta avakavaka.
And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Shibmah: and gave other names to the cities which they built.
39 Zvizvarwa zvaMakiri mwanakomana waManase zvakaenda kuGireadhi, zvikaritapa zvikadzinga vaAmori vakanga varimo.
And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite who [was] in it.
40 Saka Mozisi akapa Gireadhi kuvaMakiri, zvizvarwa zvaManase, ivo vakagara ikoko.
And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt in it.
41 Jairi, chizvarwa chaManase, akakunda misha yaro akaitumidza kuti Havhoti Jairi.
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns, and called them Havoth-jair.
42 Uye Nobha akakunda Kenati nenzvimbo dzakaripoteredza akaritumidza kuti Nobha zita rake.
And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
