Nomipā 32

1 Pea ko eni, ko e fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻenau fanga manu: pea ne nau mamata ki he fonua ko Sesa, mo e fonua ko Kiliati, pea vakai, ko e potu ia ko e potu lelei ki he fanga manu;

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 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni ʻonau lea kia Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e houʻeiki ʻoe kakai, ʻonau pehē,

They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said:

3 “Ko ʻAtaloti, mo Tiponi, mo Sesa, mo Nimila, mo Hesiponi, mo ʻIliale, mo Sipami, mo Nipo, mo Pioni,

Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 ‌ʻIo, ko e fonua naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e fonua ia ki he fanga manu, pea ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae fanga manu:

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 Pea ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai, Kapau ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, tuku ke foaki ʻae fonua ni ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ke mau maʻu, pea ʻoua ʻe ʻave ʻakimautolu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.”

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 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa Kata, pea mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, “ʻE ʻalu homou kāinga ki he tau, ka te mou nofo pe ʻi heni?

And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will you sit here?

7 Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou fakavaivaiʻi ai ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke taʻofi ʻenau ʻalu ki he fonua ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu?

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 Naʻe fai pehē hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi heʻeku fekau ʻakinautolu mei Ketesi-pania kenau mamata ki he fonua.

Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view the land?

9 Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hake ki he vahaʻa ʻo ʻEsikoli, ʻonau mamata ki he fonua, naʻa nau fakavaivaiʻi ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke taʻofi ʻenau ʻalu atu ki he fonua ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu.

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 Pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo ne fuakava, ʻo pehē,

And he swore in his anger, saying:

11 Ko e moʻoni ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻalu hake mei ʻIsipite, mei he uofulu taʻu ʻo fai hake, ʻe ʻikai tenau mamata ki he fonua ʻaia ne u fuakava ai kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau faʻa muimui kiate au:

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 Ka ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune mei he fānau ʻo Kenasi, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni: he naʻa na faʻa muimui kia Sihova.

Except Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue the son of Nun: these have fulfilled my will.

13 Pea naʻe tutu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pule kenau hē fano pe ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, kaeʻoua ke ʻauha ʻae toʻutangata kotoa pē naʻe fai meʻa kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

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 Pea vakai, kuo mou tuʻu hake ke fetongi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko e fakatokolahi ʻoe kau tangata angahala, ke fakaʻāsili ʻae houhau vela ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli

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 He kapau te mou foki mei he muimui kiate ia, te ne toe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa; pea ʻe ʻauha ʻae kakai ni kotoa pē ʻiate kimoutolu.”

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 Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu mai kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “Te mau langa ʻi heni ʻae ngaahi lotoʻā sipi ki heʻemau fanga manu, mo e ngaahi kolo ki heʻemau fānau iiki.

But they coming near, said: We will make sheepfolds, and stalls for our cattle, and strong cities for our children:

17 Ka te mau ʻalu ʻakimautolu ʻo muʻomuʻa mo e mahafu ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kaeʻoua ke mau ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau potu: pea ʻe nofo ʻemau fānau iiki ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoku lotoʻā koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoe fonua.

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 ‌ʻE ʻikai te mau foki ki homau ngaahi fale kaeʻoua ke maʻu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa honau tofiʻa.

We will not return into our houses until the children of Israel possess their inheritance:

19 Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te mau nofo fakataha mo kinautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻo Sioatani, pe ki kō atu; koeʻuhi kuo tō homau tofiʻa kiate kimautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻo Sioatani ki he potu hahake ni.

Neither will we seek any thing beyond the Jordan, because we have already our possession on the east side thereof,

20 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kapau te mou fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea kapau te mou ō mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ke tau,

And Moses said to them: If you do what you promise, go on well appointed for war before the Lord:

21 Pea kapau te mou ō kotoa pē mo e mahafu ʻo aʻa ʻi Sioatani ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, kaeʻoua ke ne kapusi ʻa hono ngaahi fili mei hono ʻao,

And let every fighting man pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow his enemies:

22 Pea ʻe vaivai ʻae fonua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea hili ia te mou foki taʻehalaia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo e ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ko e fonua ni ko homou nofoʻanga ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

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 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fai pehē, vakai, kuo mou angahala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea mou ʻilo pau eni ʻe moʻua ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou angahala.

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 Mou langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ki hoʻomou fānau iiki, mo e ngaahi lotoʻā ki hoʻomou fanga sipi; pea mou fai ʻaia kuo lea ʻaki ʻe homou ngutu.”

Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish what you have promised.

25 Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni kia Mōsese, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE fai ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa ʻemau ʻeiki.

And the children of Gad and Ruben said to Moses: We are thy servants, we will do what my lord commandeth.

26 Ko ʻemau fānau iiki, mo homau ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻemau fanga sipi, mo ʻemau fanga manu kotoa pē, tenau nofo ai ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Kiliati:

We will leave our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad:

27 Ka ʻe ʻalu atu ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻae tangata taki taha mo ʻene mahafu ke tau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki.”

And we thy servants all well appointed will march on to the war, as thou, my lord, speakest.

28 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, pea mo e kau mātuʻa ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu:

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 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻe aʻa ʻi Sioatani ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni mo kimoutolu, ʻae tangata taki taha mo e mahafu ke tau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe vaivai ʻae fonua ʻi homou ʻao; te mou toki foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae fonua ko Kiliati ke nau nofo ai.

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 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai tenau aʻa ai mo e mahafu ʻo fakataha mo kimoutolu, tenau maʻu ʻae ngaahi tofiʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani.”

But if they will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you.

31 Pea naʻe leaange ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻe pehē pe ʻemau fai.

And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so will we do:

32 Te mau aʻa mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ki he fonua ko Kēnani, koeʻuhi ke tō ai kiate kimautolu ʻa homau tofiʻa ʻi he kauvai ki heni ʻo Sioatani.”

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 Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, ʻio, ki he fānau ʻa Kata, mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea mo e vaeua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ko e foha ʻo Siosefa, ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, mo e puleʻanga ʻo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻae fonua, mo hono ngaahi kolo ʻi he mata fonua, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻoe fonua ʻoku takatakai.

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 Pea naʻe langa ʻe he fānau ʻa Kata ʻa Tiponi, mo ʻAtaloti, mo ʻAloeli.

And the sons of Cad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

35 Mo ʻAtiloti, mo Sofani, mo Sesa, mo Sokipa,

And Etroth, and Sophan, and Jazer, and Jegbaa,

36 Pea mo Petenimila, mo Petehalani, ko e ngaahi kolo lotoʻā: mo e ngaahi lotoʻā ki he fanga sipi.

And Bethnemra, and Betharan, fenced cities, and folds for their cattle.

37 Pea naʻe langa ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni ʻa Hesiponi, mo ʻIliale, mo Kesatemi,

But the children of Ruben built Hesebon, and Eleale, and Cariathaim,

38 Pea mo Nipo, mo Peali-mioni, (kuo liliu honau hingoa), mo Sipima: ʻonau fakahingoa kehe ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻa nau langa.

And Nabo, and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Sabama: giving names to the cities which they had built.

39 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase ki Kiliati, ʻo maʻu ia, ʻonau kapusi ʻae kau ʻAmoli naʻe ʻi ai.

Moreover the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, went into Galaad, and wasted it, cutting off the Amorrhites, the inhabitants thereof.

40 Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ʻa Kiliati kia Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase; pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi ai.

And Moses gave the land of Galaad to Machir the son of Manasses, and he dwelt in it.

41 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Saili ko e foha ʻo Manase ʻo ne kapa hono ngaahi potu kakai siʻi, ʻo ui ia ko Havotisaili.

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 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Nopa ʻo ne kapa ʻa Kinati, mo hono ngaahi potu kakai siʻi, ʻo ne fakahingoa ia ki hono hingoa ʻoʻona ko Nopa.

Nobe also went, and took Canath with the villages thereof: and he called it by his own name, Nobe.
