Joshua 22
1 Joṣua sì pe àwọn ẹ̀yà Reubeni, ẹ̀yà Gadi àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
2 ó sì sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ti ṣe gbogbo èyí tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa pàṣẹ, ẹ sì ti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí ohun gbogbo tí mo pàṣẹ.
and said to them, "You have kept all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.
3 Ẹ kò fi àwọn arákùnrin yín sílẹ̀ láti ìgbà yí títí di òní, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ti kíyèsára láti pa òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mọ́.
You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of Jehovah your God.
4 Nísinsin yìí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti fún àwọn arákùnrin yín ní ìsinmi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣèlérí, ẹ padà sí ilẹ̀ yín níbi tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa fi fún yin ní òdìkejì Jordani.
Now Jehovah your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan.
5 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ṣọ́ra gidigidi láti pa àṣẹ àti òfin tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa fi fún yin mọ́. Láti fẹ́ràn Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, láti rìn nínú gbogbo ọ̀nà rẹ̀, láti gbọ́rọ̀ sí àṣẹ rẹ̀, láti dìímú ṣinṣin àti láti sìn ín pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn yín àti gbogbo àyà yín.”
Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."
6 Nígbà náà ni Joṣua súre fún wọn, ó sì jẹ́ kí wọn máa lọ sí ilẹ̀ wọn.
So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.
7 (Mose ti fi ilẹ̀ fún ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase ní Baṣani, Joṣua sì ti fún ìdajì ẹ̀yà yòókù ní ilẹ̀ ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn Jordani, pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin wọn). Joṣua súre fún wọn ó sì jẹ́ kí wọn máa lọ sí ilẹ̀ wọn,
Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,
8 Ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ padà sí ilẹ̀ ẹ yín pẹ̀lú ọrọ̀ púpọ̀ yín, pẹ̀lú agbo ẹran ọ̀sìn, pẹ̀lú fàdákà, wúrà, idẹ àti irin, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ aṣọ, kí ẹ sì pín ìkógun tí ẹ rí gbà láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọ̀tá yín pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin yín.”
and spoke to them, saying, "Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers."
9 Báyìí ni àwọn ẹ̀yà Reubeni, ẹ̀yà Gadi àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase fi àwọn ará Israẹli sílẹ̀ ní Ṣilo ní Kenaani láti padà sí Gileadi, ilẹ̀ wọn, èyí tí wọ́n ti gbà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ Olúwa láti ẹnu Mose wá.
The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
10 Nígbà tí wọ́n wá dé Geliloti ní ẹ̀bá Jordani ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, àwọn ẹ̀yà Reubeni, ẹ̀yà Gadi àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase mọ pẹpẹ ńlá tí ó tóbi kan ní ẹ̀bá Jordani.
When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.
11 Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbọ́ pé àwọn ọmọ Reubeni, àti àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti ìlàjì ẹ̀yà Manase mọ pẹpẹ kan dojúkọ ilẹ̀ Kenaani ní Geliloti ní ẹ̀bá Jordani ní ìhà kejì àwọn ọmọ Israẹli,
The children of Israel heard this, "Look, the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of Israel."
12 gbogbo àjọ Israẹli péjọ ní Ṣilo láti lọ bá wọn jagun.
When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
13 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli rán Finehasi ọmọ Eleasari àlùfáà, sí ilẹ̀ Gileadi, sí Reubeni, sí Gadi àti sí ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase.
The children of Israel sent to the descendants of Reuben, and to the descendants of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
14 Pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ wọ́n rán àwọn ọkùnrin olóyè mẹ́wàá, ẹnìkan fún ẹ̀yà Israẹli kọ̀ọ̀kan, olórí ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan tiwọn jẹ́ olórí ìdílé láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers' house for each of the tribes of Israel; and every one of them heads of ancestral houses among the thousands of Israel.
15 Nígbà tí wọ́n lọ sí Gileadi—sí Reubeni, Gadi àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase—wọ́n sì sọ fún wọn pé,
They came to the descendants of Reuben, and to the descendants of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
16 “Gbogbo àjọ ènìyàn Olúwa wí pe, ‘A fẹ́ mọ ìdí tí ẹ fi sẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run Israẹli nípa yíyí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ tí ẹ sì kọ́ pẹpẹ ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ ní ìlòdì sí Olúwa?
"Thus says the whole congregation of Jehovah, 'What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that you have built you an altar, to rebel this day against Jehovah?
17 Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Peori kò ha tó fún wa bí? Títí di òní yìí àwa kò tí ì wẹ ara wa mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ náà, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ti jà láàrín ènìyàn Olúwa!
Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of Jehovah,
18 Ṣé ẹ tún wá ń padà kúrò lẹ́yìn Olúwa ni báyìí? “‘Tí ẹ̀yin bá ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa ní òní, ní ọ̀la ní òun o bínú sí gbogbo ìpéjọpọ̀ Israẹli.
that you must turn away this day from following Jehovah? It will be, seeing that you rebel today against Jehovah, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
19 Bí ilẹ̀ ìní yín bá di àìmọ́, ẹ wá sí orí ilẹ̀ ìní Olúwa, ní ibi tí àgọ́ Olúwa dúró sí, kí ẹ sì pín ilẹ̀ náà pẹ̀lú wa. Ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ má ṣe ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa tàbí sí wa nípa mímọ pẹpẹ fún ara yín, lẹ́yìn pẹpẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.
However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of Jehovah, in which Jehovah's tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against Jehovah, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than the altar of Jehovah our God.
20 Nígbà tí Akani ọmọ Sera ṣe àìṣòótọ́ nípa ohun ìyàsọ́tọ̀, ǹjẹ́ ìbínú kò wá sí orí gbogbo àjọ ènìyàn Israẹli nítorí rẹ̀ bí? Òun nìkan kọ́ ni ó kú fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ẹ rẹ̀.’”
Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man did not perish alone in his iniquity.'"
21 Nígbà náà ni Reubeni, Gadi àti ẹ̀yà Manase sọ nínú ìdáhùn wọn fún àwọn olórí Israẹli pé.
Then the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
22 Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọlọ́run! Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọlọ́run, Òun mọ̀, jẹ́ kí Israẹli pẹ̀lú kí ó mọ̀! Bí èyí bá wà ní ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ tàbí àìgbọ́ràn sí Olúwa, ẹ má ṣe gbà wa ní òní yìí.
"El, God, Jehovah. El, God, Jehovah. He knows; and Israel shall know. If it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against Jehovah, do not save us this day,
23 Bí àwa bá ti mọ pẹpẹ wa láti yí padà kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa àti láti rú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ oúnjẹ jíjẹ, tàbí ẹbọ àlàáfíà ní orí rẹ, kí Olúwa fún ara rẹ̀ gba ẹ̀san.
that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Jehovah; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let Jehovah himself require it.
24 “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́! Àwa ṣe èyí ní ìbẹ̀rù pé ní ọjọ́ tí àwọn ọmọ yín yóò wí fún wa pé, ‘Kí ni ẹ̀yin ní ṣe pẹ̀lú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli?
If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, 'In time to come your descendants might speak to our descendants, saying, "What have you to do with Jehovah, the God of Israel?
25 Olúwa ti fi Jordani ṣe ààlà láàrín àwa àti ẹ̀yin—àwọn ọmọ Reubeni àti àwọn ọmọ Gadi! Ẹ kò ni ní ìpín nínú Olúwa.’ Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ yín lè mú kí àwọn ọmọ wa dẹ́kun láti máa bẹ̀rù Olúwa.
For Jehovah has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you descendants of Reuben and descendants of Gad. You have no portion in Jehovah."' So your children might make our children cease from fearing Jehovah.
26 “Nítorí èyí ni àwa ṣe wí pé, ‘Ẹ jẹ́ kí àwa múra láti mọ pẹpẹ kan, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe fún ẹbọ sísun, tàbí fún àwọn ìrúbọ.’
Therefore we said, 'Let's now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;
27 Ní ọ̀nà mìíràn, yóò jẹ́ ẹ̀rí kan láàrín àwa àti ẹ̀yin àti àwọn ìran tí ń bọ̀, pé àwa yóò jọ́sìn fún Olúwa ní ibi mímọ́ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ẹbọ sísun wa, ẹbọ àti ọrẹ àlàáfíà. Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yìn ọ̀la, àwọn ọmọ yín kò ní lè sọ fún tiwa pé, ‘Ẹ kò ní ìpín nínú ti Olúwa.’
but it will be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of Jehovah before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;' that your descendants may not tell our descendants in time to come, 'You have no portion in Jehovah.'
28 “Àwa sì wí pé, ‘Tí wọ́n bá tilẹ̀ sọ èyí fún wa, tàbí sí àwọn ọmọ wa, a ó dáhùn pé, “Ẹ wo àpẹẹrẹ pẹpẹ Olúwa, èyí tí àwọn baba wa mọ, kì í ṣe fún ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ṣùgbọ́n fún ẹ̀rí láàrín àwa àti ẹ̀yin.”’
Therefore we said, 'It shall be, when they tell us or our generations this in time to come, that we shall say, "Look the pattern of the altar of Jehovah, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you."'
29 “Kí Ọlọ́run má jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa, kí àwa sì yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ ní òní nípa mímọ pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun, ọrẹ oúnjẹ jíjẹ àti ẹbọ lẹ́yìn pẹpẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa tí ó dúró níwájú àgọ́ rẹ̀.”
Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn away this day from following Jehovah, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle."
30 Nígbà tí Finehasi àlùfáà àti àwọn olórí ìjọ ènìyàn, àwọn olórí ìdílé Israẹli gbọ́ ohun tí Reubeni, Gadi àti Manase ti sọ, ó dùn mọ́ wọn.
When Phinehas the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.
31 Finehasi ọmọ Eleasari, àlùfáà wí fún Reubeni, Gadi àti Manase pé, “Ní òní ni àwa mọ̀ pé Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú wa, nítorí tí ẹ̀yin kò hùwà àìṣòótọ́ sí Olúwa ní orí ọ̀rọ̀ yí nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin ti yọ àwọn ará Israẹli kúrò ní ọwọ́ Olúwa”.
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the descendants of Reuben, to the descendants of Gad, and to the descendants of Manasseh, "Today we know that Jehovah is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against Jehovah. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah."
32 Nígbà náà ni Finehasi ọmọ Eleasari àlùfáà àti àwọn olórí padà sí Kenaani láti ibi ìpàdé wọn pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹ̀yà Reubeni àti ẹ̀yà Gadi ní Gileadi, wọ́n sì mú ìròyìn tọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ.
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the leaders, returned from the descendants of Reuben, and from the descendants of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
33 Inú wọn sì dùn láti gbọ́ ìròyìn náà, wọ́n sì yin Ọlọ́run. Wọn kò sì sọ̀rọ̀ mọ́ nípa lílọ bá wọn jagun láti run ilẹ̀ tí àwọn ẹ̀yà Reubeni àti ẹ̀yà Gadi ń gbé.
The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad lived.
34 Ẹ̀yà Reubeni àti ẹ̀yà Gadi sì fún pẹpẹ náà ní orúkọ yìí, “Ẹ̀rí láàrín wa pé Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run.”
The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad called the altar: "A witness between us that Jehovah is God."
