Josue 22
1 Iti dayta a tiempo, inayaban ni Josue dagiti Rubenita, Gadita, ken ti kagudua a tribu ti Manases.
At that time Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
2 Kinunana kadakuada, “Inaramidyo amin a banag nga imbilin kadakayo ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh; nagtulnogkayo iti timekko iti amin nga imbilinko kadakayo.
He said to them, “You have done everything that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you. You have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
3 Saanyo a pinanawan dagiti kakabsatyo kabayatan iti aniaman kadagitoy adu nga aldaw wenno iti daytoy agdama nga aldaw. Ngem ketdi, nagbalinkayo a naannad nga agtulnog kadagiti annuroten dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh a Diosyo.
You have not deserted your brothers these many days, down to this present day, and you have fulfilled the duties required by the commandments of Yahweh your God.
4 Ita, inted ni Yahweh a Dios ti inana kadagiti kakabsatyo a kas iti inkarina kadakuada. Agsublikayo ngarud ket mapankayo kadagiti toldayo iti daga a kukuayo nga inted ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh kadakayo iti ballasiw ti Jordan.
Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, just as he promised them. Therefore turn and go to your tents in the land you own, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you on the other side of the Jordan.
5 Agbalinkayo laeng a naannad a mangtungpal kadagiti bilin ken iti linteg nga imbilin kadakayo ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh, nga ayatenyo ni Yahweh a Diosyo, a magnakayo kadagiti amin a wagasna, a salimetmetanyo dagiti bilbilinna, ken kumpetkayo kenkuana, ken agdayawkayo kenkuana iti amin a pusoyo ken iti amin a kararuayo.”
Just be very careful to observe the commandments and the law that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, and to cling to him and worship him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
6 Binendisionan ngarud ida ni Josue ken pinagawidna ida, ket nagsublida kadagiti toldada.
So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went back to their tents.
7 Ita, iti kagudua a tribu ti Manases, inikkan ida ni Moises iti tawid idiay Basan, ngem iti maysa pay a kagudua, inikkan ida ni Josue iti tawid iti abay dagiti kakabsatda iti daga nga adda iti laud ti Jordan. Pinaawid ni Josue ida kadagiti toldada; binendisionanna ida
Now to one-half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given an inheritance in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua gave an inheritance beside their brothers in the land west of the Jordan. Joshua sent them away to their tents; he blessed them
8 ken kinunana kadakuada, “Agsublikayo kadagiti toldayo nga addaan iti adu a kuarta, ken addaan iti adu unay nga ayup, ken addaan iti pirak ken balitok, ken addaan iti gambang ken landok, ken addaan iti adu unay a pagan-anay. Ibingayonyo dagiti kakabsatyo iti sinamsamyo kadagiti kabusoryo.”
and said to them, “Return to your tents with much money, and with very much livestock, and with silver and gold, and with bronze and iron, and with very many garments. Divide the plunder from your enemies with your brothers.”
9 Isu a nagsubli dagiti kaputotan ni Ruben, dagiti kaputotan ni Gad, ken ti kagudua a tribu ni Manases iti pagtaenganda, pinanawanda dagiti tattao ti Israel idiay Silo nga adda iti daga ti Canaan. Pimmanawda tapno mapanda iti rehion ti Galaad, iti bukodda a daga nga isuda a mismo ti nangtagikua a kas panagtulnogda iti bilin ni Yahweh, babaen iti ima ni Moises.
So the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh returned home, leaving the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. They left to go to the region of Gilead, to their own land, which they themselves possessed, in obedience to the commandment of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.
10 Idi dimtengda idiay Jordan nga adda iti daga ti Canaan, nangipatakder dagiti Rubenita, dagiti Gadita, ken ti kagudua a tribu ti Manases iti dakkel unay ken makitkita nga altar iti abay ti Jordan.
When they came to the Jordan that is in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh built an altar beside the Jordan, a very large and prominent altar.
11 Nangngeg dagiti tattao ti Israel ti maipanggep iti daytoy ket kinunada, “Kitaenyo! Nangipatakder iti altar dagiti tattao ti Ruben, Gad, ken ti kagudua a tribu ti Manases iti sangoanan ti daga ti Canaan, idiay Gelilot, iti rehion nga asideg ti Jordan, iti paset a kukua dagiti tattao ti Israel.”
The people of Israel heard about this and said, “Look! The people of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the front of the land of Canaan, at Geliloth, in the region near the Jordan, on the side that belongs to the people of Israel.”
12 Idi nangngeg dagiti tattao ti Israel daytoy, naguummong a nagmaymaysa ti entero a taripnong dagiti tattao ti Israel idiay Silo tapno sumang-atda a mapan makigubat kadakuada.
When the people of Israel heard of it, the whole assembly of the people of Israel gathered together at Shiloh to go up to make war against them.
13 Nangibaon ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel kadagiti mensahero a mapan kadagiti Rubenita, kadagiti Gadita, ken iti kagudua a tribu ti Manases iti daga ti Galaad. Imbaonda met ni Finees nga anak ni Eleazar a padi,
Then the people of Israel sent messengers to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead. They also sent Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest,
14 ken kaduana ti sangapulo a mangidadaulo, maysa manipud kadagiti tunggal kapuonan dagiti pamilia ti Israel, ken tunggal maysa kadakuada ket isu ti panguloen ti tunggal puli kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
and with him ten leaders, one from each of the tribal families of Israel, and every one of them was the head of a family among the clan of Israel.
15 Napanda kadagiti tattao ti Ruben, Gad, ken iti kagudua a tribu ti Manases, iti daga ti Galaad, ket insaoda kadakuada:
They came to the people of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they spoke to them:
16 “Ibagbaga ti entero a taripnong ni Yahweh daytoy, 'Ania daytoy a panaglabsing nga inaramidyo iti Dios ti Israel, babaen iti isisinayo iti daytoy nga aldaw iti panangsurotyo kenni Yahweh babaen iti panangipatakderyo para kadagiti bagbagiyo iti altar iti daytoy nga aldaw a kas panagrebeldeyo kenni Yahweh?
“The whole assembly of Yahweh says this, 'What is this unfaithfulness that you have committed against the God of Israel, by turning this day from following Yahweh by building yourself an altar this day in rebellion against Yahweh?
17 Saan kadi nga umanay kadatayo ti basoltayo idiay Peor? Nupay kasta ket saantayo pay a dinalusan dagiti bagbagitayo manipud iti daytoy. Ta gapu iti dayta a basol ket immay ti didigra iti taripnong ni Yahweh.
Was our sin at Peor not enough for us? Yet we have not even now cleansed ourselves from it. For that sin there came a plague on the assembly of Yahweh.
18 Masapul met kadi a suminakayo manipud iti panangsurotyo kenni Yahweh iti daytoy agdama nga aldaw? No agrebeldekayo met kenni Yahweh ita nga aldaw, makaungetto isuna iti entero a taripnong ti Israel inton bigat.
Must you also turn away from following Yahweh at this present day? If you also rebel against Yahweh today, tomorrow he will be angry with the whole assembly of Israel.
19 No natulawan ti daga a kukuayo, rumbeng ngarud nga umakarkayo iti daga a nakaisaadan ti tabernakulo ni Yahweh ken mangalakayo kadakami iti sanikua para kadagiti bagbagiyo. Saankayo laeng nga agrebelde kenni Yahweh, wenno agrebelde kadakami babaen iti panangipatakderyo iti altar para kadagiti bagbagiyo malaksid iti altar ni Yahweh a Diostayo.
If the land that you possess is defiled, then you should pass over into the land where Yahweh's tabernacle stands and take for yourselves a possession among us. Only do not rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us by building an altar for yourselves other than the altar of Yahweh our God.
20 Saan kadi a nalabsing ni Acan nga anak ni Zera ti pammati maipapan kadagidiay a banbanag a nailasin para iti Dios? Ken saan kadi a nagdisso ti pungtot iti amin a tattao ti Israel? Saan laeng a dayta a tao ti natay gapu iti basolna.'”
Did not Achan son of Zerah break faith in the matter of those things that had been reserved for God? Did not wrath fall on all the people of Israel? That man did not perish alone for his iniquity.'”
21 Ket simmungbat dagiti tribu ti Ruben, Gad ken ti kagudua a tribu ti Manases kadagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti puli ti Israel:
Then the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh replied in answer to the heads of the clans of Israel:
22 “Ti Mannakabalin a Dios, a ni Yahweh! Ti Mannakabalin a Dios, a ni Yahweh! — Ammona, ket maammoan koma a mismo ti Israel! No daytoy ket panagrebelde wenno panangsalungasing iti pammati a maibusor kenni Yahweh, saannakami nga ispalen ita nga aldaw
“The Mighty One, God, Yahweh! The Mighty One, God, Yahweh!—He knows, and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in breach of faith against Yahweh, do not spare us on this day
23 gapu iti panangipatakdermi iti altar tapno suminakami iti panangsurotmi kenni Yahweh. No impatakdermi dayta nga altar tapno pagidatonan kadagiti daton a mapuoran, daton a bukbukel, wenno daton a pakikappia, ket bay-anyo a dusaennakami ni Yahweh gapu iti daytoy.
for having built an altar to turn ourselves away from following Yahweh. If we built that altar in order to offer on it burnt offerings, grain offerings, or peace offerings, then let Yahweh make us pay for it.
24 Saan! Inaramidmi daytoy gapu iti buteng nga iti tiempo nga umay amangan no kunaento dagiti annakyo kadagiti annakmi, 'Ania ti bibiangyo kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel?
No! We did it for fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, 'What have you to do with Yahweh, the God of Israel?
25 Ta inaramid ni Yahweh a beddeng ti Jordan iti nagbaetantayo. Dakayo a tattao ti Ruben ken Gad, awan ti bibiangyo kenni Yahweh.' Iti kasta ket amangan no pasardengento dagiti annakyo dagiti annakmi nga agdayaw kenni Yahweh.
For Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you. You people of Reuben and people of Gad, you have nothing to do with Yahweh.' So your children might make our children cease to worship Yahweh.
26 Isu a kinunami, 'Mangipatakdertayo ita iti altar, saan a gapu kadagiti daton a mapuoran wenno gapu iti aniaman a daton,
So we said, 'Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offerings nor for any sacrifices,
27 ngem tapno agbalin a saksi iti nagbaetantayo ken iti nagbaetan dagiti henerasion a sumaruno kadatayo, nga aramidenmi ti panagserbi kenni Yahweh iti sangoananna, babaen kadagiti datonmi a mapuoran ken kadagiti sakrifisiomi ken kadagiti datonmi a pakikappia, tapno saanto pulos nga ibaga dagiti annakyo kadagiti annakmi iti tiempo nga umay, “Awan iti bingayyo kenni Yahweh.'”
but to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we will perform the service of Yahweh before him, with our burnt offerings and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your children will never say to our children in time to come, “You have no share in Yahweh.”'
28 Isu a kinunami, 'No daytoy ti rumbengto a maibaga kadakami wenno kadagiti kaputotanmi iti tiempo nga umay, ibagaminto, “Kitaenyo! Daytoy ket kaasping ti altar ni Yahweh nga inaramid dagiti kapuonanmi, saan a gapu kadagiti daton a mapuoran, saan a gapu kadagiti sakrifisio, ngem kas saksi iti nagbaetantayo.”
So we said, 'If this should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we would say, “Look! This is a copy of the altar of Yahweh, which our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.”
29 Adayo koma kadakami a rumbeng nga agrebeldekami kenni Yahweh ken sumina ita nga aldaw iti panangsurotmi kenkuana babaen iti panangipatakdermi iti altar para iti daton a mapuoran, para iti daton a bukbukel, wenno para iti sakrifisio, laksid iti altar ni Yahweh a Diostayo nga adda iti sangoanan ti tabernakulona.'”
May it be far from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and today turn away from following him by building an altar for burnt offering, for grain offering, or for sacrifice, other than the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tabernacle.'”
30 Idi nangngeg ni Finees a padi ken dagiti kakaduana a mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao, a dagiti met laeng panguloen dagiti puli ti Israel, dagiti sasao nga imbaga dagiti tattao ti Ruben, Gad, ken Manases, nasayaat daytoy iti panagkitada.
When Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the people, that is, the heads of the clans of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh said, that it was good in their eyes.
31 Kinuna ni Finees nga anak ni Eleazar a padi kadagiti tattao ti Ruben, Gad, ken Manases, “Ammomin ita nga aldaw nga adda ni Yahweh kadatayo gapu ta saanyo nga inaramid daytoy a panangsalungasing iti pammati a maibusor kenkuana. Ita, inispalyo dagiti tattao ti Israel manipud iti ima ni Yahweh.”
Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is among us, because you have not committed this breach of faith against him. Now you have rescued the people of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.”
32 Ket manipud iti daga ti Galaad nga ayan dagiti Rubenita ken Gadita, nagsubli da Finees nga anak ni Eleazar a padi ken dagiti mangidadaulo iti daga ti Canaan, kadagiti tattao ti Israel, ken nangyegda iti sungbat kadakuada.
Then Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and the leaders returned from the Reubenites and the Gadites, out of the land of Gilead, back to the land of Canaan, to the people of Israel, and brought back word to them.
33 Nasayaat ti impadamagda iti panagkita dagiti tattao ti Israel. Nagdaydayaw dagiti tattao ti Israel ti Dios ken saandan a nagsao pay iti maipanggep iti pannakigubatda kadagiti Rubenita ken kadagiti Gadita tapno dadaelenda ti daga a pagnanaedanda.
Their report was good in the eyes of the people of Israel. The people of Israel blessed God and spoke no more about making war against the Reubenites and the Gadites, in order to destroy the land where they had settled.
34 Pinanaganan dagiti Rubenita ken Gadita ti altar iti “Saksi,” ta kinunada, “Saksi daytoy iti nagbaetantayo a ni Yahweh ket Dios.
The Reubenites and the Gadites named the altar “Witness,” for they said, “It is a witness between us that Yahweh is God.”
