Nambar 32
1 Reuben hoi Gad kaminawk mah Jazer hoi Gilead prae to hnuk o naah, kahoih parai maitaw pacahhaih ahmuen doeh a hnuk o;
Now the descendants of Reuben and of Gad had large numbers of livestock. When they saw the land of Jazer and Gilead, the land was a wonderful place for livestock.
2 to pongah Reuben hoi Gad kaminawk angzoh o moe, Mosi, qaima Eleazar hoi Israel rangpui zaehoikungnawk khaeah lokthuih o,
So the descendants of Gad and Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the community. They said,
3 Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, Beon hoi,
“This is a list of places we have surveyed: Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon.
4 Israel kaminawk hmaa ah Angraeng mah tuk pae ih prae loe, moi pacah han hoih parai, na tamna kaicae loe pacah ih moi paroeai ka tawnh o;
These are the lands that Yahweh attacked before the community of Israel, and they are good places for livestock. We, your servants, have a lot of livestock.”
5 nangcae mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh o nahaeloe, hae praenawk hae na tamnanawk hanah qawk ah na paek ah, kaicae hae Jordan vapui angkatsak hmah, tiah a naa o.
They said, “If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to us, your servants, as a possession. Do not make us cross over the Jordan.”
6 Mosi mah Gad hoi Reuben kaminawk khaeah, Nam nawkamyanawk loe misatuk naah caeh o, toe nangcae loe haeah nang hnut o sut han maw?
Moses replied to the descendants of Gad and Reuben, “Should your brothers go to war while you settle down here?
7 Tipongah Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah paek ih prae thungah caeh hanah, Israel kaminawk tha na set o sak loe?
Why discourage the hearts of the people of Israel from going over into the land that Yahweh has given them?
8 Prae khet hanah nam panawk to Kadesh-Bernea hoi ka patoeh naah to tiah a oh o.
Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to examine the land.
9 Eskol azawn to phak o moe, prae to a hnuk o naah, Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah paek ih prae thungah akun hanah, Israel kaminawk to palungboeng o sak.
They went up to the Valley of Eshkol. They saw the land and then discouraged the hearts of the people of Israel so that they refused to enter the land that Yahweh had given them.
10 To niah Angraeng palungphui o sak pongah, Anih mah lokkamhaih sak naah,
Yahweh's anger was kindled on that day. He took an oath and said,
11 nihcae loe palungthin boih hoi ka hnukah bang o ai pongah, mi kawbaktih doeh Izip prae thung hoi tacawt saning pumphaeto hoi ranuih bang kaom kaminawk boih, Abraham, Issak hoi Jakob khaeah paek han lokkam ih prae to hnu o mak ai;
'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and up, will see the land about which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not completely followed me, except for
12 palungthin boih hoi Angraeng hnukah kabang, Keniz acaeng Jephunneh capa Kaleb hoi Nun capa Joshua khue ni prae to hnu tih, tiah thuih.
Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua son of Nun. Only Caleb and Joshua have completely followed me.'
13 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah kasae sah kaminawk ih caanawk amrosak boih ai karoek to, praezaek ah saning qui palito thung amhetsak.
So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel. He made them wander around in the wilderness for forty years until all the generation who had done evil in his sight was destroyed.
14 Khenah, nangcae loe vaihi nam panawk pongah na zae o kue, nam panawk zuengah nang thawk o moe, Israel kaminawk nuiah Angraeng palungphui aep han ih ni na sak o boeh.
Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, like just more sinful men, to add to Yahweh's burning anger toward Israel.
15 Anih to nam khraeng o taak nahaeloe, Israel kaminawk to praezaek ah amhetsak let tih, nangcae loe hae kaminawk amrosakkung ah na om o tih, tiah a naa.
If you turn away from following him, he will again leave Israel in the wilderness and you will have destroyed all this people.”
16 To pacoengah Reuben hoi Gad kaminawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, Hae ahmuen ah maitaw pacahhaih imnawk hoi nawktanawk ohhaih vangpuinawk to ka sak o han;
So they came near Moses and said, “Allow us to build fences here for our cattle and cities for our families.
17 toe Israel kaminawk angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah thaak boih ai karoek to, maiphaw ka sinh o moe, Israel caanawk hma ah ka caeh o han; hae prae thungah kaom kaminawk pongah, aicae ih caanawk loe sipae thungh ih vangpuinawk thungah khosak o han oh.
However, we ourselves will be ready and armed to go with Israel's army until we have led them into their place. But our families will live in the fortified cities because of the other people who still live in this land.
18 Israel acaeng maeto boih mah qawktoep ai karoek to, im ah kam laem o mak ai.
We will not return to our houses until every one of the people of Israel has obtained his inheritance.
19 Kaicae loe Jordan vapui zaeh ah nihcae hoi nawnto qawktoep han tidoeh om mak ai; Jordan vapui ni angyae bangah ni qawktoep han oh, tiah a naa o.
We will not inherit the land with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance is here on the east side of the Jordan.”
20 To naah Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, Hae tiah oh pongah, maiphaw na sin o moe, Angraeng hmaa ah misatuk hanah na caeh o,
So Moses replied to them, “If you do what you say, if you arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to war,
21 Angraeng mah a misanawk to a hmaa hoiah haek boih ai karoek to, Angraeng hmaa ah maiphaw sin hoi Jordan vapui nang kat o boih moe,
then every one of your armed men must cross over the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has driven out his enemies from before him
22 Angraeng hmaa ah prae na pazawk o nahaeloe, nam laem o let thai tih, to pacoengah loe Angraeng hoi Israel kaminawk hmaa ah zaehaih tidoeh na tawn o mak ai boeh; to naah hae prae loe Angraeng hmaa ah nangcae ih qawk ah om tih.
and the land is subdued before him. Then afterward you may return. You will be guiltless toward Yahweh and toward Israel. This land will be your possession before Yahweh.
23 Toe na sah o ai nahaeloe, khenah, nangcae loe Angraeng hmaa ah zaehaih na tawnh o pongah, na zae o haih mah nangcae to patom tih.
But if you do not do so, look, you will have sinned against Yahweh. Be sure that your sin will find you out.
24 Na caa nawktanawk hanah vangpuinawk, tuunawk hanah tuu imnawk to sah pae oh; pakha hoi na thuih o ih lok baktih toengah sah oh, tiah a naa.
Build cities for your families and pens for your sheep; then do what you have said.”
25 Gad hoi Reuben kaminawk mah Mosi khaeah, Na tamna kaicae loe ka angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka sak o han.
The descendants of Gad and Reuben spoke to Moses and said, “Your servants will do as you, our master, commands.
26 Ka zu hoi ka caa nawktanawk, maitawnawk hoi tuunawk loe Gilead prae ih vangpuinawk thungah om o tih.
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will stay there in the cities of Gilead.
27 Toe ka angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, na tamna kaicae loe, maiphaw ka sinh o moe, misatuk hanah Angraeng hmaa ah Jordan vapui to kang kat o han, tiah a naa o.
However, we, your servants, will cross over before Yahweh to battle, every man who is armed for war, as you, our master, say.”
28 To kawng pongah Mosi mah, qaima Eleazar, Nun capa Joshua hoi Israel acaeng zaehoikung lu koeknawk khaeah, lokthuih pae;
So Moses gave instructions concerning them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the leaders of the ancestor's clans in the tribes of the people of Israel.
29 nihcae khaeah, Gad hoi Reuben kaminawk loe misatuk hanah Angraeng hmaa ah nangcae hoi nawnto Jordan vapui to angkat o boih moe, nangcae hmaa ah misa pazawk o nahaeloe, to Gilead prae to nihcae han qawk ah toep o sak ah:
Moses said to them, “If the descendants of Gad and Reuben cross over the Jordan with you, every man who is armed to battle before Yahweh, and if the land is subdued before you, then you will give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
30 toe nihcae mah maiphaw to sin o moe, nangcae hoi nawnto vapui angkat o ai nahaeloe, Kanaan prae ah ni nangcae salakah taham to tawn o tih, tiah a naa.
But if they do not cross over with you armed, then they will acquire their possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”
31 Gad hoi Reuben kaminawk mah, Angraeng mah na tamnanawk khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, ka sak o han.
So the descendants of Gad and Reuben answered and said, “As Yahweh has said to us, your servants, this is what we will do.
32 Jordan vapui hae bang zaeh ih prae to ka toep o hanah, maiphaw sin hoi Angraeng hmaa ah Kanaan prae thungah ka kun o han, tiah a naa o.
We will cross over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, but our possessed inheritance will remain with us on this side of the Jordan.”
33 Mosi mah Gad kaminawk, Reuben kaminawk hoi Joseph ih caa, ahap Manasseh acaengnawk khaeah, Amor siangpahrang Sihon prae thung ih vangpuinawk boih, Bashan siangpahrang Og prae thung ih vangpuinawk to paek boih.
So to the descendants of Gad and Reuben, and also to the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, Moses gave the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and of Og, king of Bashan. He gave to them the land, and distributed to them all its cities with their borders, the cities of the land around them.

Nebo, Baal Meon—their names were later changed, and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities that they rebuilt.
39 Manasseh capa Makir ih caanawk loe Gilead ah caeh o moe, vangpuinawk to lak o pacoengah, Amor kaminawk to haek o.
The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it away from the Amorites who were in it.
40 To pongah Mosi mah Gilead to Manasseh capa Makir hanah paek; anih loe to ah khosak.
Then Moses gave Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and his people settled there.
41 Manasseh capa Jair mah nihcae ohhaih ahmuen to tuk moe, a lak pacoengah Havoth-Jair, tiah ahmin sak.
Jair son of Manasseh went and captured its towns and called them Havvoth Jair.
