Hesabu 32
1 Kabila la Wareubeni na Wagadi, waliokuwa na makundi makubwa ya ngʼombe, kondoo na mbuzi, waliona kuwa nchi ya Yazeri na nchi ya Gileadi ni nzuri kwa mifugo.
And much cattle hath been to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad, very many; and they see the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, and lo, the place [is] a place [for] cattle;
2 Hivyo walimjia Mose, na kuhani Eleazari na viongozi wa jumuiya, na kuwaambia,
and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, come in and speak unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the company, saying:
3 “Atarothi, Diboni, Yazeri, Nimra, Heshboni, Eleale, Sebamu, Nebo na Beoni,
'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon —
4 nchi ambayo Bwana ameishinda mbele ya wana wa Israeli, inafaa kwa mifugo, nao watumishi wako wana mifugo.
the land which Jehovah hath smitten before the company of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'
5 Kama tumepata kibali mbele ya macho yako, nchi hii na ipewe watumishi wako kama milki yetu. Usitufanye tuvuke Yordani.”
And they say, 'If we have found grace in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession; cause us not to pass over the Jordan.'
6 Mose akawaambia Wagadi na Wareubeni, “Je, watu wa nchi yenu watakwenda vitani wakati ninyi mmeketi hapa?
And Moses saith to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, 'Do your brethren go in to the battle, and ye — do ye sit here?
7 Kwa nini mmewakatisha Waisraeli tamaa wasivuke katika nchi ambayo Bwana amewapa?
and why discourage ye the heart of the sons of Israel from passing over unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them?
8 Hivi ndivyo baba zenu walivyofanya wakati nilipowatuma kutoka Kadesh-Barnea kuipeleleza nchi.
'Thus did your fathers in my sending them from Kadesh-Barnea to see the land;
9 Baada ya kufika kwenye Bonde la Eshkoli na kuitazama nchi, waliwakatisha tamaa Waisraeli wasiingie katika nchi ambayo Bwana alikuwa amewapa.
and they go up unto the valley of Eshcol, and see the land, and discourage the heart of the sons of Israel so as not to go in unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them;
10 Siku ile hasira ya Bwana iliwaka naye akaapa kiapo hiki:
and the anger of Jehovah burneth in that day, and He sweareth, saying,
11 ‘Kwa kuwa hawakunifuata kwa moyo wote, hakuna mtu yeyote mwenye miaka ishirini au zaidi ambaye alikuja kutoka Misri atakayeona nchi niliyoahidi kwa kiapo kwa Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo;
They do not see — the men who are coming up out of Egypt from a son of twenty years and upward — the ground which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, for they have not been fully after Me;
12 hakuna hata mmoja isipokuwa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune, Mkenizi, na Yoshua mwana wa Nuni, kwa sababu walimfuata Bwana kwa moyo wote.’
save Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they have been fully after Jehovah;
13 Hasira ya Bwana iliwaka dhidi ya Waisraeli na akawafanya watangetange katika jangwa kwa miaka arobaini, mpaka kizazi chote cha wale waliofanya maovu mbele yake kimeangamia.
and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He causeth them to wander in the wilderness forty years, until the consumption of all the generation which is doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.
14 “Nanyi mko hapa, uzao wa wenye dhambi, mkisimamia mahali pa baba zenu na mkimfanya Bwana kuwakasirikia Waisraeli hata zaidi.
'And lo, ye have risen in the stead of your fathers, an increase of men — sinners, to add yet to the fury of the anger of Jehovah toward Israel;
15 Kama mkigeuka na mkiacha kumfuata, atawaacha tena watu hawa wote jangwani, na mtakuwa sababu ya maangamizi yao.”
when ye turn back from after Him, then He hath added yet to leave him in the wilderness, and ye have done corruptly to all this people.'
16 Ndipo wakamjia Mose na kumwambia, “Tungalitaka kujenga mazizi hapa kwa ajili ya mifugo yetu na miji kwa ajili ya wanawake wetu na watoto.
And they come nigh unto him, and say, 'Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;
17 Lakini sisi tuko tayari kuchukua silaha zetu na kutangulia mbele ya Waisraeli mpaka tutakapowaleta mahali pao. Wakati huo wanawake wetu na watoto wataishi katika miji yenye ngome, kwa ajili ya ulinzi dhidi ya wenyeji wa nchi.
and we — we are armed hasting before the sons of Israel till that we have brought them in unto their place; and our infants have dwelt in the cities of defence because of the inhabitants of the land;
18 Hatutarudi nyumbani mwetu mpaka kila Mwisraeli apokee urithi wake.
we do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of Israel have inherited each his inheritance,
19 Hatutapokea urithi wowote pamoja nao ngʼambo ya Yordani, kwa sababu urithi wetu umekuja kwetu upande wa mashariki ya Yordani.”
for we do not inherit with them beyond the Jordan and yonder, for our inheritance hath come unto us beyond the Jordan at the [sun] -rising.'
20 Kisha Mose akawaambia, “Kama mtafanya jambo hili, kama mtajivika silaha mbele za Bwana kwa ajili ya vita,
And Moses saith unto them, 'If ye do this thing: if ye are armed before Jehovah for battle,
21 na kama ninyi nyote mtakwenda mmejivika silaha ngʼambo ya Yordani mbele za Bwana mpaka awe amewafukuza adui zake mbele zake,
and every armed one of you hath passed over the Jordan before Jehovah, till his dispossessing His enemies from before Him,
22 hadi wakati nchi itakapokuwa imeshindwa mbele za Bwana, ndipo mtaweza kurudi na kuwa huru kutoka masharti yenu kwa Bwana na Israeli. Nayo nchi hii itakuwa milki yenu mbele za Bwana.
and the land hath been subdued before Jehovah — then afterwards ye do turn back, and have been acquitted by Jehovah, and by Israel; and this land hath been to you for a possession before Jehovah.
23 “Lakini mkishindwa kufanya hili, mtakuwa mnatenda dhambi dhidi ya Bwana; nanyi kuweni na hakika kuwa dhambi yenu itawapata.
'And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and know ye your sin, that it doth find you;
24 Jengeni miji kwa ajili ya wanawake na watoto wenu, na mazizi kwa ajili ya mbuzi na kondoo zenu, lakini fanyeni yale mliyoahidi.”
build for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do ye.'
25 Wagadi na Wareubeni wakamwambia Mose, “Sisi watumishi wako tutafanya kama bwana wetu anavyotuagiza.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto Moses, saying, 'Thy servants do as my lord is commanding;
26 Watoto na wake zetu, makundi ya mbuzi na kondoo, na makundi ya ngʼombe zetu, watabaki hapa katika miji ya Gileadi.
our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, are there in cities of Gilead,
27 Lakini watumishi wenu, kila mwanaume aliyevaa silaha za vita, watavuka ngʼambo kupigana mbele za Bwana, sawa kama bwana wetu anavyosema.”
and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'
28 Kisha Mose akatoa amri kuhusu wao kwa kuhani Eleazari, na Yoshua mwana wa Nuni na viongozi wa jamaa za makabila ya Waisraeli.
And Moses commandeth concerning them Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel;
29 Mose akawaambia, “Ikiwa Wagadi na Wareubeni, kila mwanaume aliyevaa silaha za vita, atavuka Yordani pamoja nanyi mbele za Bwana, basi wakati mtakapoishinda nchi iliyoko mbele yenu, wapeni nchi ya Gileadi kama milki yao.
and Moses saith unto them, 'If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over with you the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land hath been subdued before you, then ye have given to them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30 Lakini kama hawatavuka pamoja nanyi wakiwa wamevaa silaha za vita, lazima wakubali kupokea milki yao pamoja nanyi katika nchi ya Kanaani.”
and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.'
31 Wagadi na Wareubeni wakajibu, “Watumishi wako watafanya lile Bwana alilosema.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, 'That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants — so we do;
32 Tutavuka mbele za Bwana kuingia Kanaani tukiwa tumevaa silaha za vita, lakini mali tutakayoirithi itakuwa ngʼambo hii ya Yordani.”
we — we pass over armed before Jehovah [to] the land of Canaan, and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance beyond the Jordan.'
33 Kisha Mose akawapa Wagadi, Wareubeni, na nusu ya kabila la Manase mwana wa Yosefu ufalme wa Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori, na ufalme wa Ogu mfalme wa Bashani, nchi yote pamoja na miji yake, na nchi inayowazunguka.
And Moses giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the land round about.
34 Wagadi wakajenga Diboni, Atarothi, Aroeri,
And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Atroth-Shofani, Yazeri, Yogbeha,
and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36 Beth-Nimra na Beth-Harani kama miji iliyozungushiwa ngome, tena wakajenga mazizi kwa ajili ya makundi yao ya mbuzi na kondoo.
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defence, and sheepfolds.
37 Nao Wareubeni wakajenga upya miji ya Heshboni, Eleale na Kiriathaimu,
And the sons of Reuben have build Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38 pia Nebo na Baal-Meoni (majina ya hiyo miji yalibadilishwa) na Sibma. Miji waliyoijenga upya waliipa majina.
and Nebo, and Baal-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah, and they call by [these] names the names of the cities which they have built.
39 Wazao wa Makiri mwana wa Manase walikwenda Gileadi, wakaiteka nchi na kuwafukuza Waamori waliokuwa huko.
And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who [is] in it;
40 Kwa hiyo Mose akawapa Wamakiri, wazao wa Manase, nchi ya Gileadi, nao wakakaa huko.
and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it.
41 Yairi, mzao wa Manase, akateka makao yao, akayaita Hawoth-Yairi.
And Jair son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their towns, and calleth them 'Towns of Jair;'
42 Naye Noba akateka Kenathi na makao yaliyoizunguka, akayaita Noba kwa jina lake.
and Nobah hath gone and captureth Kenath, and its villages, and calleth it Nobah, by his own name.
