Zosua 22

1 Anante Rubeni naga'ma Gati naga'ma, amu'nompinti refko hu'naza Manase nagara Josua'a kehige'za eme eri tru hazageno,

At that time Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

2 amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma hihoma huno'ma huramante'nea zana ana maka hago huvagare'naze. Ana nehutma nagrama hihoma hu'na huankea ana maka amage ante'naze.

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 Hanki korapa knareti eno menima ama knare'ma egetma, tamagra tamafuhe'ina zamatreta ofretma, Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'ma e'ina hugahaze huno'ma tami'nea eri'zana ana maka erivagare'naze.

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 Hanki menina Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo huvempama hu'nea ke'a amage anteno tamafuhe'ina manigsa zami'ne. E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma tami'nea mopa zage hanati kaziga Jodani timofo kantu kaziga nonkumatamima mane'nea mopare vugahaze.

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 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma tami'nea kasegene tra kenena kegava huso'e hu'netma amage anteho. Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo avesinenteta, Agri avu'ava nevaririta, kasege'a amage nenteta, Agrane tragoteta mani'neta, maka tamagu tamenteti hutma Agri eri'zana erinteho.

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 Anante Josua'a asomu ke huzamanteteno huzmantege'za seli nonkuma zamirega vu'naze.

So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went back to their tents.

7 Hanki amu'nompinti'ma refkoma haza ruga'a Manase nagara Mosese'a Basani kazigati mago mopa ko zami'ne. Hanki Manase naga'ma amu'nompinti'ma refkoma hu'naza nagara Israeli vahe'mo'za'ma Jodani timofo zage fre kaziga mopama erinafinti Josua'a mopa zami'ne. Anama huteno'a Josua'a asomu ke huzamanteteno huzamantege'za seli nonkuma zamirega nevzageno,

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 amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra rama'a feno zantamine bulimakao afu kevutamima, silvama, golima, bronsima, aenine, rama'a knare kukenanema, ha'ma hu zamagatereta eri'naza zantamina erita menina seli nonkuma tamirega vuta tamafuhe'zanena ome refko huta eriho.

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 Ana hutege'za, Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'mo'za Israeli vahera Kenani kaziga Sailo kumate zamatre'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosese asami'nea kante ante'za eri'naza moparega Gileati vu'naze.

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 Hanki Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'mo'zama Kenani Mopa atre'za Jodani ti tava'onte Geliloti ete'za, anante tusi'a kresramna vu ita tro hu'naze.

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 Hagi anama hazazana mago'a vahe'mo'za kete'za vu'za Israeli vahe'mokizmia ome zmasami'za, Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'mo'za vu'za Kenani mopama ome atretega Gelilotia, Jodani timofo tavaonte tagri mopa kaziga, Kresramana vu ita ome tro hu'naze hazage'za,

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 ana zamofo nanekema nentahi'za ana maka Israeli vahe'mo'za oti'za ha' huzmante'naku Sailo kumate eri tru hu'za trotra hu'naze.

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 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za pristi ne' Eleazar nemofo Fineasina huntazageno, Rubenima, Gatima, amu'nompinti'ma refko hu'za vu'naza Manase naga'ma Gileatima mani'narega vu'ne.

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 Hanki Finiasi'enena 10ni'a vugagota kva vahetamine huzmantazage'za vu'naze. Ana vahera tauseni'a Israeli vahepima mago'mago naga'nofi'ma mani'nafintira vugagota hu'naza vahe'age, mago'mago huhamprintetere hazage'za vu'naze.

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 Hanki Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a Manase naga'ma hu'za Gileati kumate'ma mani'nare e'za amanage hu'za eme zamasmi'naze,

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 ana maka Ra Anumzamofo kevu naga'mo'za amanage hu'za hu'naze. Na'ahigeta amanahu tamavu tamavara huta Ra Anumzamofona antahi omi'naze. Na'ahigeta Ra Anumzamofona tamefira humita ke'a rutagreta menina ama kresramna vu ita Ra Anumzamofoma ha'marente'zana tamagra tro hu'naze.

“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 Kora Peori kumate'ma, mani'neta kumi hunkeno Ra Anumzamo'a mago kri atregeno vahe'a eme zamazeri haviza hu'neane, hagi meninena ana kumimo'a tatreno ovu'ne. Tamagrama antahi'zana ana hazenke zamo'a knare hu'nefi, ana hu'negeta mago'ene ru hazenkea nehazo?

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 Hagi menina Ra Anumzamofona tamamefira hunemize, menima Ra Anumzamofoma Agri kema ontahita ha'ma rentesageno'a, okina Agra ana maka Israeli vahe'mota rimpa aherantegahie.

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 Hagi mopa tamimo'ma Anumzamofo avure'ma havizama hu'ne hutama hanuta, tamagra eta tagri mopafima Ra Anumzamofo seli mono noma me'nere, Agri mopa fatgofi tagrane emaniho.

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 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma i'o hu'nea zantamima, Zera nemofo Akani'ma Jeriko rankumapinti'ma Ra Anumzamofo ke'ma ru tagreno'ma eri'nea kumi'amofo kna'a agrakera ofri'neanki mago'a nema agri kumimofo kna'ama eri'za fri'naza zana tamagera okaniho.

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 Anante Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, ruga'a amu'nompinti refkoma hu'naza Manase naga'mo'za oti'za Israeli vahepima nagate nofite'ma ugagota hu'naza vahera amanage hu'za zamasmi'naze,

Then the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh replied in answer to the heads of the clans of Israel:

22 hankavenentake Anumzana Ra Anumzana Agrake mani'ne, magoke hankavenentake hu'nea Ra Anumzamo Agra antahi'ne, hu'negu Israeli vahe'motanena antahiho, tagrama Ra Anumzamofo kema rutagrege, Agri kasegema ovariri nesunketa menina oratreta tahe friho.

“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 Hanki tagrama Ra Anumzamofoma tamefi humi kazigati'ma kresramna vu ofama huge, witi ofa huge, mago tarimpa hu ofama hu kresramna vu itama tro'ma hu'nesunkeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a tagrira tazeri haviza hugahie.

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 Hianagi tagrama ana itama tro'ma hu'nonana, henkama tamagri tamagehe'za, tagri tageheinku hu'za, tagri Ra Anumzantera monora huontege, amagera ontegahazema hu'za hu'zanku koro huta tro hu'none.

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 Hanki tagri'ene, tamagri'ene amu'nompina Ra Anumzamo Jodani tinte mopamofo agema'a ante'neankita, tamagra Rubeni naga'ene Gati nagara tagri naga omani'naze nehu'za, Anumzana tamagri Anumza omani'neankita monora huonteho hu'za hu'zanku koro huta ana ita tro hu'none.

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 E'ina agafare amanage hu'none, kresramna vu itama tro'ma hu'nonana tevefima kresramna vu ofa hu ito, mago'a zama kresramna vu ofa hu ita trora osu'none.

So we said, 'Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offerings nor for any sacrifices,

27 Hagi tamagri'ene tagri'enena ama anazamo'a mago avame'za mane'neno, tagehezama henkama fore'ma hanaza vahera zamaveri huno, tagranena Ra Anumzana Agriteke monora hunentone hugahaze.

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 E'ina hu'negu tagra amanage huta hu'none, tamagrama amanahu kema tagritero, tagehe'inte'ma hanageta amanage huta zamasmigahune huta hu'none, Ra Anumzamofo kresramna vu itama tafahezama tro hazageno me'neana keho, mago kresramna vu ofa huge, ruzahu ruzahu ofa hu ita trora osu'nonanki tamagri'ene tagri'ene amu'nompina, ama ana itamo'a mago avame'za me'ne huta hugahune.

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 Tagrama ama ana itama tro'ma hu'nonana, tevefi kre fanane hu ofa huge, witi ofa huge, ruzahu ruzahu ofama hu ita trora osu'none.

Hagi Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofo itama seli mono nomofo avugama me'nea kresramna vu itamofo noma eri'nigure huta trora huonte'none.

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 Hanki pristi ne' Fineasi'ene Israeli vahepima mago mago naga nofite'ma ugagota hutere hu'naza vahe'mo'za, Rubeni naga'ma, Gati naga'ma, Manase naga'mo'zama hazankema nentahi'za, zamagra zamarimpa fru nehu'za muse hu'naze.

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 Hanki anante pristi ne' Eleazari nemofo Finiasi'a, Rubenima, Gatine, Manase nagara amanage huno zamasami'ne, menina tagrama keama'ma hunana Ra Anumzamo'a tagrane mani'ne. Na'ankure tamagra Ra Anumzamofo ke'a tamefira huonte'naze, e'inama hazana maka Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzamofo azampintira tagu'vazize.

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 Ana keagama hute'za pristi ne' Eleaza nemofo Finiasi'ene Israeli nagapi nagate nofite ugagota hu'naza kva vahe'mo'za ete Kenani e'za Rubenine, Gati, naga'enema keagama hu'naza zamofo agenkea Israeli vahera Gileati kumate mani'nage'za eme zamisami'naze.

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 Hanki anazamofo agenkema Israeli naga'mo'zama nentahi'za muse hu'za Anumzamofo ra agi nemi'za, Rubenine, Gati naga'ma nemaniza mopama ha' huzamanteta mopazamima eri haviza hugahunema hu'naza ke'a eri atre'naze.

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 Hanki Rubenine, Gati naga'mo'za ana itamofonkura hu'za Amu'nontifi Avame'za me'nena Ra Anumzana tagri Anumza mani'ne huta antahi amigahune hu'za agi'a antemi'naze.

The Reubenites and the Gadites named the altar “Witness,” for they said, “It is a witness between us that Yahweh is God.”
