Hesabu 32
1 Sasa wana wa uzao wa Reubeni na wa Gadi walikuwa na idadi kubwa ya wanyama. Waliiona ardhi ya Jazeri na Gileadi, kuwa ni ardhi 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 Kwa hiyo wana wa Gadi na wa Reubeni wakaja kumwambia Musa, na Eliazari kuhani, na viongozi wa watu. Wakasema,
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 “Hii ndiyo orodha ya maeneo ambayo tumeyatembelea: Diboni, Jazeri, Nimraha, Heshibonni, Ellealehi, Sebamu, Nebo, na Beoni.
'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon —
4 Haya ni maeneo ambayo BWANA aliyachukua mbele ya watu wa Israeli, na maeneo mazuri kwa ajili ya mifugo. Sisi watumishi wako tuna mifugo mingi sana.
the land which Jehovah hath smitten before the company of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'
5 Wakasema kuwa, “Kama tutapata kibali mbele ya macho yako, tunaomba ardhi hii tupewe, sisi watumishi wako, kuwa urithi. Usituvushe ng'ambo ya Yorodani.”
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 Musa akawajibu wale wana wa auzao wa Gadi na Reubeni, “Je, mngependa ndugu zenu waende vitani wakati ninyi mkikaa 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 kuwafish moyo watu wa Israeli wasivuke kwenda kwenye 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 Baba zenu walifanya hivyo nilipowatuma kutoka Kadeshi Banea kwenda kuipeleleza ile nchi.
'Thus did your fathers in my sending them from Kadesh-Barnea to see the land;
9 Walienda mpaka kwenye bonde la Eskoli. Waliiona ile ardhi kisha wakawafisha moyo watu wa Israeli kwa hiyo wakagoma kuingia kwenye 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 hiyo hasira ya BWANA iliwaka. Akaapa akisema,
and the anger of Jehovah burneth in that day, and He sweareth, saying,
11 'Kwa hakika hakuna mtu aliyetoka Misri, kuanzia wa umri wa miaka ishirini na zaidi ambao wataiona nchi ambao niliwaapia Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo, kwa sababu hawakunifuata mimi kwa ukamilifu, isipokuwa Kalebu mwana wa Yefune Mkenizi, na Yoshua mwana wa Nuni.
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 Ni Kalebu na Joshua tu ndio walionifuata kwa ukamilifu.'
save Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they have been fully after Jehovah;
13 Kwa hiyo hasira za BWANA ziliwaka juu ya Israei. Akawafanya wazunguke zunguke jangwani kwa miaka arobaini mpaka kile kizazi kilichofanya maovu mbele za macho yake kilipoteketea.
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 Tazama, mmetokea katika nafasi za baba zenu, kama watu wengine wenye dhambi zaidi, ili kuongeza hasira ya BWANA kwa Israeli.
'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 hamtamfuata, ataiacha Israeli jangwani na mtakuwa mmewateketeza watu hawa wote.
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 Kwa hiyo wakaja karibu na Musa wakamwambia, “Turuhusu tujenga hapa uzio kwa ajili ya ng'ombe zetu na miji hapa kwa ajili ya familia zetu.
And they come nigh unto him, and say, 'Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;
17 Hata hivyo, sisi wenyewe tutajipanga kijeshi kwenda na jeshi la Israeli mpaka tumewaongoza kupata maeneo yao. Lakini familia zetu zitakuwa kwenye miji ya maboma kwa ssbabu ya watu wengine ambao bado wanaishi katika nchi hii.
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 kwenye familia zetu mpaka kila mmoja watu wa Israeli apate urithi wake.
we do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of Israel have inherited each his inheritance,
19 Sisi hatutachukua urithi wa ardhi pamoja nao kule ng'ambo ya Yorodani, kwa sababu urithi wetu uko hapa upande wa mashariki mwa Yorodani.”
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 Kwa hiyo Musa akawajibu, “Kama mtafanya mnachokisema, kama mtajipanga wenyewe mbele za BWANA kwenda vitani,
And Moses saith unto them, 'If ye do this thing: if ye are armed before Jehovah for battle,
21 basi kila mmoja wa wanajeshi wenu lazima avuke Yorodani mbele za BWANA, mpaka atakapowafukuza maadui zake kutoka mbele zake
and every armed one of you hath passed over the Jordan before Jehovah, till his dispossessing His enemies from before Him,
22 na nchi itawaliwe na Israeli mbele zake. Kisha mtaweza kurudi. Hamtakuwa na hatia mbele za BWANA na mbele ya Israeli. Hii nchi itakuwa miliki 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 Bali kama hamtafnya hivyo, tazama, mtakuwa mmefanya dhambi mbele ya BWANA. Mwe na hakika kuwa dhambi yenu itaonekana
'And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and know ye your sin, that it doth find you;
24 wazi. Jengeni miji kwa ajili ya familia zenu na mazizi kwa ajili ya kondoo zenu; kisha fanyeni kile mlichokisema.”
build for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do ye.'
25 Wale wana wa Gadi na Reubeni wakamwambia Musa, wakisema, “Watumishi wako wtafanya kama vile wewe, bwana wetu, unavyotuamuru.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto Moses, saying, 'Thy servants do as my lord is commanding;
26 Watoto wetu, wake zetu, makundi yetu, na wanyama wetu wote watakaa huko kwenye miji ya Gileadi.
our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, are there in cities of Gilead,
27 Hata hivyo, sisi watumishi wako, tutavuka kwenda ng'ambo mbele za BWANA kupigana, kila mtu ambaye yuko tayari kwa vita, kama vile wewe, bwana wetu, unavyosema.”
and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'
28 Kwa hiyo Musa akawapa maelekezo yayowahusu kwa Eliazari kuhani, kwa Joshua mwana wa Nuni, na kwa viongozi wa koo kufuata jamaa zao katika makabila ya wana wa Israeli.
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 Musa akawaambia, “Kama uzao wa Reubeni na Gadi watavuka ng'ambo ya Yorodani pamoja nanyi, kila mwanamume anayetakiwa kuwa vitani mbele za BWANA, na kama nchi mtaitawala mbele zenu, ndipo mtakapowapa eneo la Gileadi kuwa miliki 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 na silaha zao, basi mtawapa urithi wao 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 Kwas hiyo wana wa uzao wa Gadi na wa Reubeni wakamjibu wakisema, Kama vile BWANA alivyosema nasi, sisi watumwa wako, hiki ndicho tutakachokifanya.
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 tukiwa na silaha zetu mbele za BWANA kuingia katika nchi ya Kanaani, lakini urithi wetu utabaki utabaki upande huu wa Yorodani.”
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 Kwa hiyo uzao wa Gadi na Reubeni, na pia nusu ya kabila la Manase mwana wa Yusufu, Musa akawapa ufalme wa Sihoni, mfalme wa Waamori, na wa Ogi, mafalme wa Bashani, Aliwapa hiyo nchi, na kuwagawia miji yake yote pamoja na mipaka yake, miji yote ya 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 Wale wa uzao wa Gadi wakaijenga Diboni,
And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Atarothi, Aroeri, Atrothi, Jazeri, Jogbehaha, Bethi Nimraha,
and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36 na Bethi Harani kuwa miji iliyo na maboma na mazizi ya kondoo wao.
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defence, and sheepfolds.
37 Wale wa uzao wa Reubeni wakaijenga Heshiboni. Elealehi, Kiriathaimu,
And the sons of Reuben have build Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38 Nebo, Baali Meoni - baadaye waliyabadili majina yao, na Sibimaha.
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 Wale wa uzao wa Machiri mwana wa Manase walienda Gileadi na kuutwaa kutoka kwa Waamori waliokuwa wakiishi humo.
And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who [is] in it;
40 Kisha Musa akaitoa Gileadi kwa Machiri mwana wa Manase, na watu wake wakaishi humo.
and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it.
41 Jairi mwana wa Manase alienda kuiteka miji yake na kuiita Havothi Jairi.
And Jair son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their towns, and calleth them 'Towns of Jair;'
42 Nobaha alienda kuitieka Kenathi na vijiji vyake, na akauita kwa jina lake Nobaha.
and Nobah hath gone and captureth Kenath, and its villages, and calleth it Nobah, by his own name.
