< Numbers 32 >
1 Àwọn ọmọ Reubeni àti àwọn ọmọ Gadi, tí wọ́n ní ẹran ọ̀sìn àti ohun ọ̀sìn rí wí pé ilẹ̀ Jaseri àti Gileadi dára fún ohun ọ̀sìn.
Now the sons of Ruben and of Gad had many herds, and their substance in cattle was inestimable. And when they had seen that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were suitable for feeding animals,
2 Àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti àwọn ọmọ Reubeni sì wá, wọ́n wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Mose àti Eleasari àlùfáà àti sí olórí gbogbo ìlú, wọ́n sì wí pé,
they went to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the multitude, and they said:
3 “Atarotu, Diboni, Jaseri, Nimra, Heṣboni, Eleale, Sebamu, Nebo, àti Beoni.
“Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 Ni ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa ti ṣẹ́gun níwájú ìjọ Israẹli tí ó sì dára fún ohun ọ̀sìn, ṣáwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì ní ohun ọ̀sìn.”
the land, which the Lord has struck in the sight of the sons of Israel, is a very fertile region for pasturing animals. And we, your servants, have very many cattle.
5 Wọ́n wí pé, “Tí a bá rí ojúrere rẹ, jẹ́ kí a fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìní. Má ṣe jẹ́ kí a rékọjá odò Jordani.”
And so we beseech you, if we have found favor before you, that you give it to us, your subjects, as a possession, and that you not cause us cross the Jordan.”
6 Mose sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti fún ọmọ Reubeni pé, “Ṣé kí àwọn arákùnrin yín lọ sí ogun, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì jókòó sí bí?
And Moses answered them: “Should your brothers go to battle, while you sit here?
7 Kí ni ó dé tí o fi mú ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì bá àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láti lọ sí ibi ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa ti fi fún wọn?
Why do you subvert the minds of the sons of Israel, so that they might not dare to cross into the place which the Lord will give to them?
8 Èyí ni nǹkan tí baba yín ṣe nígbà tí mo rán wọn láti Kadeṣi-Barnea láti lọ wo ilẹ̀ náà.
Did not your fathers act in the same way, when I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to explore the land?
9 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n lọ sí àfonífojì Eṣkolu tí wọ́n rí ilẹ̀ náà, wọ́n mú ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì bá àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láti wọ ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa ti fi fún wọn.
And when they had gone all the way to the Valley of the Cluster of Grapes, having viewed the entire region, they subverted the hearts of the sons of Israel, so that they would not enter into the parts that the Lord gave to them.
10 Ìbínú Olúwa sì dìde sí wọn ní ọjọ́ náà, ó sì búra, wí pé,
And being angry, the Lord swore an oath, saying:
11 ‘Nítorí wọn kò tẹ̀lé mi tọkàntọkàn, kì í ṣe ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọkùnrin náà tí ó jẹ́ ogún ọdún tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ tí ó gòkè láti Ejibiti ni yóò rí ilẹ̀ tí mo pinnu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìbúra fún Abrahamu, fún Isaaki àti fún Jakọbu:
‘These men, who ascended out of Egypt, from twenty years and above, will not see the land, which I have promised under an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For they were not willing to follow me,
12 kò sí ẹnìkankan àyàfi Kalebu ọmọ Jefunne ti Kenissiti àti Joṣua ọmọ Nuni, nítorí wọ́n tẹ̀lé Olúwa tọkàntọkàn.’
except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; these have fulfilled my will.’
13 Ìbínú Olúwa ru sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ó sì mú wọn rìn ní aginjù fún ogójì ọdún, títí tí àwọn ìran tí wọ́n ṣe búburú ní ojú rẹ̀ fi lọ.
And the Lord, being angry against Israel, led them in a course through the desert for forty years, until the entire generation, which had done evil in his sight, was consumed.
14 “Níbí ni ẹ̀yin wà, ẹ̀yin ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ẹ̀yin dìde ní ipò baba yín, ẹ sì jẹ́ kí ìbínú gbígbóná Olúwa ru sí Israẹli.
And behold,” he said, “you have risen up in the place of your fathers, the offshoots and the nurslings of sinful men, in order to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.
15 Tí ẹ̀yin bá yípadà ní ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ yóò sì fi àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí sílẹ̀ ní aginjù, ìwọ yóò sì mú un ṣe ìparun.”
But if you are not willing to follow him, he will leave the people behind in the wilderness, and you will have been the cause of all our deaths.”
16 Nígbà náà wọ́n wá sí òkè ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, “Àwa yóò fẹ́ láti kọ́ ilé ẹran níhìn-ín yìí fún ohun ọ̀sìn wa, àti ìlú fún àwọn obìnrin àti ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́ wa.
But approaching closer, they said: “We will manufacture sheep pens and cattle stalls, as well as fortified cities, for our little ones.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n àwa ṣetán láti dira ogun ṣáájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli títí tí a yóò fi mú wọn dé ọ̀dọ̀ wọn lákokò yìí, àwọn obìnrin àti ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́ wa yóò gbé inú ìlú tí a mọ odi sí fún ìdáàbòbò wọn lọ́wọ́ olùgbé ilẹ̀ náà.
But we ourselves will continue on, armed and girded for battle, before the sons of Israel, until we lead them to their places. Our little ones, and whatever we may be able to have, shall be in walled cities, because of the treachery of the inhabitants.
18 A kì yóò padà sí ilẹ̀ wa láìṣe pé gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti gba ogún wọn.
We will not return to our houses, even until the sons of Israel may possess their inheritance.
19 A kì yóò gba ogún kankan pẹ̀lú wọn ní òdìkejì Jordani, nítorí ogún ti wa, ti wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ wa ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Jordani.”
Neither will we seek anything across the Jordan, because we already have our possession on its eastern side.”
20 Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ fún wọn pé, “Tí ẹ̀yin yóò bá pa ara yín lára, níwájú Olúwa fún ogún.
And Moses said to them: “If you accomplish what you have promised, you may go out, equipped for battle, before the Lord.
21 Bí gbogbo yín yóò bá lọ sí Jordani ní ìhámọ́ra níwájú Olúwa, títí yóò fi lé àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ kúrò níwájú rẹ̀.
And let every fighting man cross over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrows his enemies,
22 Tí a ó sì fi ṣe ilẹ̀ náà níwájú Olúwa; ẹ̀yin lè padà tí yóò sì di òmìnira lọ́wọ́ ìdè níwájú Olúwa àti Israẹli. Ilẹ̀ yìí yóò sì jẹ́ tiyín níwájú Olúwa.
and all the land is subjected to him. Then you will be guiltless with the Lord and with Israel, and you will obtain the regions which you desire before the Lord.
23 “Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀yin bá kọ̀ láti ṣe èyí, ẹ̀yin yóò máa dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa; kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sì mọ̀ dájú pé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín yóò fi yín hàn.
But if you do not do what you have said, no one could doubt that you will have sinned against God. And know this: your sin shall overtake you.
24 Ẹ kọ́ ilé fún àwọn obìnrin yín àti ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́ yín, àti ilé fún agbo ẹran yín, ṣùgbọ́n kí ẹ̀yin kí ó ṣe ohun tí ẹ ti pinnu.”
Therefore, build cities for your little ones, and pens and stables for your sheep and cattle; and fulfill what you have promised.”
25 Àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti ọmọ Reubeni sọ fún Mose pé, “Àwa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí olúwa wa ti pàṣẹ.
And the sons of Gad and of Ruben said to Moses: “We are your servants, we shall do what you, our ruler, orders.
26 Àwọn ọmọ wa àti ìyàwó wa, àwọn agbo ẹran àti ohun ọ̀sìn wa yóò dúró ní ìlú Gileadi.
We will leave behind our little ones, and our wives, and the sheep and cattle, in the cities of Gilead.
27 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, gbogbo ọkùnrin tí ó wọ ìhámọ́ra ogun, yóò rékọjá lọ láti jà níwájú Olúwa; gẹ́gẹ́ bí olúwa wa ti sọ.”
And we, your servants, all well-equipped, will go forth to battle, just as you, our ruler, has spoken.”
28 Nígbà náà ni Mose pàṣẹ nípa wọn fún Eleasari àlùfáà àti Joṣua ọmọ Nuni àti sí gbogbo olórí ìdílé ẹ̀yà Israẹli.
Therefore, Moses instructed Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the princes of the families throughout the tribes of Israel, and he said to them:
29 Mose sì wí fún wọn pé, “Tí àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti ọmọ Reubeni, gbogbo ọkùnrin tí ó wọ ìhámọ́ra fún ogun rékọjá odò Jordani pẹ̀lú níwájú Olúwa, nígbà tí ẹ ṣẹ́gun ilẹ̀ náà níwájú yín, fún wọn ní ilẹ̀ Gileadi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìní wọn.
“If the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben cross over the Jordan with you, all armed for war before the Lord, and if the land becomes subject to you, give them Gilead as a possession.
30 Ṣùgbọ́n tí wọn kò bá fẹ́ bá yín rékọjá pẹ̀lú ìhámọ́ra, wọn gbọdọ̀ gba ìní wọn pẹ̀lú yín ní Kenaani.”
But if they are not willing to cross with you, armed, into the land of Canaan, then let them receive places among you for their dwellings.”
31 Àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti ọmọ Reubeni dáhùn pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò ṣe ohun tí Olúwa ti sọ.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben responded: “Just as the Lord has spoken to his servants, so shall we do.
32 A máa rékọjá níwájú Olúwa lọ sí Kenaani pẹ̀lú ìhámọ́ra, ṣùgbọ́n ẹrù tí a jogún yóò wà ní ẹ̀bá Jordani.”
We will go forth, armed, before the Lord into the land of Canaan; and we acknowledge that we have already received our possession across the Jordan.”
33 Nígbà náà Mose fún àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti àwọn ọmọ Reubeni àti ààbọ̀ ẹ̀yà Manase ọmọ Josẹfu ní ilẹ̀ ọba Sihoni ọba àwọn ọmọ Amori àti ilẹ̀ ọba Ogu ọba Baṣani ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà pẹ̀lú ìlú rẹ̀ àti agbègbè tí ó yí i ka.
And so, Moses gave to the sons of Gad and of Ruben, 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, and their land with its surrounding cities.
34 Àwọn ará Gadi wọ́n kọ́ Diboni, Atarotu, Aroeri;
Therefore, the sons of Gad built up Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 pẹ̀lú Atrotu Ṣofani, Jaseri, àti Jogbeha,
and Atroth and Shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
36 pẹ̀lú Beti-Nimra, àti Beti-Harani ìlú olódi, àti agbo fún àgùntàn.
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, as fortified cities with pens for their cattle.
37 Àwọn ọmọ Reubeni sì kọ́ Heṣboni, Eleale, Kiriataimu,
Yet truly, the sons of Ruben built up Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
38 pẹ̀lú Nebo pẹ̀lú Baali-Meoni (wọ́n pàrọ̀ orúkọ wọn) àti Sibma. Wọ́n sì sọ ìlú tí wọ́n tún kọ́ ní orúkọ mìíràn.
and Nebo, and Baal-meon (their names having been changed) and Sibmah, appointing names for the cities which they had built.
39 Àwọn ọmọ Makiri ọmọ Manase lọ sí Gileadi, wọ́n sì lé àwọn ọmọ Amori tí ó wà níbẹ̀.
Moreover, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, continued on within Gilead, and they devastated it, putting to death its inhabitant, the Amorite.
40 Mose sì fi àwọn ọmọ Gileadi fún àwọn ọmọ Makiri àwọn ìran Manase, wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó síbẹ̀.
Therefore, Moses gave the land of Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh, and he lived in it.
41 Jairi, ọmọ Manase gba ibùjókòó wọn, ó sì pè wọ́n ní Haffotu Jairi.
But Jair, the son of Manasseh, went out and occupied its villages, which he called Havoth Jair, that is, the Villages of Jair.
42 Noba gba Kenati àti àwọn ìtẹ̀dó rẹ̀, ó sì pè é ní Noba lẹ́yìn orúkọ ara rẹ̀.
Likewise, Nobah went forth and captured Kenath with its villages. And he called it by his own name, Nobah.
