< Numbers 32 >

1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle,
Na he tini rawa nga kahui a nga tama a Reupena, ratou ko nga tama a Kara: a ka kite ratou i te whenua o Iatere, i te whenua hoki o Kireara, na, he wahi pai tena wahi mo nga kahui;
2 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying:
Na ka haere nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena, ka korero ki a Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga, ki nga rangatira ano o te whakaminenga, ka mea,
3 'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
Ko Ataroto, ko Ripono, ko Iatere, ko Nimira, ko Hehepona, ko Ereare, ko Hepama, ko Nepo, ko Peono,
4 the land which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'
Ko te whenua katoa i patua na e Ihowa i te aroaro o te whakaminenga o Iharaira, he whenua pai tena mo nga kahui, he kahui ano hoki a au pononga.
5 And they said: 'If we have found favour in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.'
I mea ano ratou, Mehemea e manakohia ana matou i tou aroaro, me homai tenei whenua hei kainga mo au pononga; kaua matou e meatia kia whiti i Horano.
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: 'Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here?
Na ka mea a Miho ki nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena, Ko o koutou teina koia kia haere ki te whawhai, a ko koutou kia noho ki konei?
7 And wherefore will ye turn away the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
He aha koutou i pehi ai i te ngakau o nga tama a Iharaira kia kaua e whiti ki te whenua i homai e Ihowa ki a ratou?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
I pena ano o koutou matua i taku tononga atu i a ratou i Kareheparenea kia kite i te whenua.
9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they turned away the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
I to ratou haerenga hoki ki runga ki te awaawa o Ehekora, a, ka kite ratou i te whenua, na pehia ana e ratou nga ngakau o nga tama a Iharaira, kia kaua e haere ki te whenua i homai nei e Ihowa ki a ratou.
10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled in that day, and He swore, saying:
Na ko te muranga o to Ihowa riri i taua ra, a ka oati ia, ka mea,
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed Me;
E kore rawa nga tangata i haere mai nei i Ihipa, nga mea e rua tekau, he maha atu ranei o ratou tau, e kite i te whenua i oati ai ahau ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa; mo ratou kihai i tino whai i ahau:
12 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed the LORD.
Heoi ano ko Karepe, ko te tama a Iepune Keniti, raua ko Hohua, te tama a Nunu; mo raua i tino whai i a Ihowa.
13 And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
Na ko te muranga o te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a meinga ana ratou kia kopikopiko i te koraha, e wha tekau nga tau, a poto noa taua whakapaparanga i mahi na i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a brood of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
Na, kua ara ake na koutou hei whakakapi mo o koutou matua, he huanga tangata hara, hei whakanui atu i te mura o to Ihowa riri ki a Iharaira.
15 For if ye turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and so ye will destroy all this people.'
No te mea ki te tahuri ke koutou, a kahore e whai i a ia, ka waiho ano ratou e ia i te koraha; a ma koutou ka ngaro ai tenei iwi katoa.
16 And they came near unto him, and said: 'We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;
Na ka whakatata ratou ki a ia, ka mea, Ka hanga e matou he taiepa hipi ki konei mo a matou kararehe, me etahi pa mo a matou tamariki:
17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
Ko matou ia ka haere me a matou patu i mua i nga tama a Iharaira, kia kawea ra ano ratou e matou ki te wahi mo ratou: a me noho a matou tamariki ki nga pa e whai taiepa ana, he wehi hoki i nga tangata o tenei whenua.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
E kore matou e hoki ki o matou whare, kia riro ra ano tona kainga i tenei, i tenei o nga tama a Iharaira.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.'
E kore hoki matou e tu tahi me ratou i te kainga i tawahi o Horano, i tua atu ranei; no te mea ka riro mai he kainga mo matou i tenei taha o Horano, i te taha ki te rawhiti.
20 And Moses said unto them: 'If ye will do this thing: if ye will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Ki te meatia tenei mea e koutou, ki te haere koutou me a koutou patu i te aroaro o Ihowa ki te whawhai,
21 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until He hath driven out His enemies from before Him,
Ki te whiti katoa hoki koutou i Horano me a koutou patu i te aroaro o Ihowa, kia peia ra ano e ia ona hoariri i mua i a ia,
22 and the land be subdued before the LORD, and ye return afterward; then ye shall be clear before the LORD, and before Israel, and this land shall be unto you for a possession before the LORD.
A ka taea te whenua i te aroaro o Ihowa: katahi koutou ka hoki, a ka harakore ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te aroaro ano hoki o Iharaira; a mo koutou tenei whenua hei nohoanga i te aroaro o Ihowa.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD; and know ye your sin which will find you.
Tena ia, ka kore koutou e pena, nana, kua hara koutou ki a Ihowa; a kia mohio koutou, e hopukia ano koutou e to koutou hara.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.'
Hanga nga pa mo a koutou tamariki, me nga taiepa mo a koutou hipi; meatia ano hoki te mea i puta mai i o koutou mangai.
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
Na ka korero nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena ki a Mohi, ka mea, Ka pena au pononga me ta toku ariki i whakahau ai.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
Ko reira a matou tamariki, a matou wahine, a matou kahui, me a matou kararehe katoa, ko nga pa o Kireara:
27 but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.'
Ko au pononga ia me whiti katoa atu, rite rawa i te patu mo te pakanga, whawhai ai i te aroaro o Ihowa; me pera me ta toku ariki i ki ai.
28 So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.
Na ka whakahaua te tikanga mo ratou e Mohi ki a Ereatara tohunga, ratou ko Hohua tama a Nunu, ko nga ariki hoki o nga whare o nga matua o nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira:
29 And Moses said unto them: 'If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
A ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Ki te whiti katoa atu i roto i a koutou nga tama a Kara i Horano, ratou ko nga tama a Reupena me a ratou patu ano, whawhai ai i te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka taea te whenua i to koutou aroaro; na me hoatu e koutou te whenua o Kireara kia puritia e ratou:
30 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.'
Ki te kahore ia ratou e whiti tahi i a koutou, me a ratou patu, na, tena he wahi hei puritanga ma ratou i roto i a koutou i te whenua o Kanaana.
31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying: 'As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
Na ka whakautua e nga tama a Kara ratou ko nga tama a Reupena, ka mea, Ka rite tonu ta matou e mea ai ki ta Ihowa i korero mai ai ki au pononga.
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.'
Me whiti matou me a matou patu i te aroaro o Ihowa ki te whenua o Kanaana, a hei puritanga ma matou to matou kainga i tenei taha o Horano.
33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities thereof with their borders, even the cities of the land round about.
Na ka homai e Mohi ki a ratou, ki nga tama a Kara, ki nga tama a Reupena ratou ko tetahi taanga o te iwi o Manahi tama a Hohepa te kingitanga o Hihona kingi o nga Amori, me te kingitanga o Oka kingi o Pahana, te whenua me ona pa i roto i o ratou rohe, ara nga pa o te whenua a tawhio noa.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer;
Na ka hanga e nga tama a Kara a Ripono, a Ataroto, a Aroere;
35 and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah;
Me Ateroto Hopana, me Iatere, me Iokopeta;
36 and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran; fortified cities, and folds for sheep.
Me Petenimira, me Peteharana: he pa taiepa, me nga taiepa mo nga hipi.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim;
A na nga tama a Reupena i hanga a Hehepona, a Ereare, a Kiriataima;
38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon — their names being changed — and Sibmah; and gave their names unto the cities which they builded.
A Nepo, a Paarameono, i whakaputaia ketia hoki nga ingoa, me Hipima: i huaina ano hoki e ratou he ingoa ke ki nga pa i hanga e ratou.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein.
A i haere atu nga tama a Makiri tama a Manahi ki Kireara, a tangohia ana e ia, peia ana hoki te Amori i reira.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
A i hoatu e Mohi a Kireara ki a Makiri tama a Manahi; a noho ana ia i reira.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the villages thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair.
A i haere a Haira tama a Manahi, a tangohia ana e ia nga pa o reira, a huaina iho e ia, ko Hawotohaira.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
A i haere a Nopaha, a tangohia ana e ia a Kenata, me ona pa ririki, a huaina iho ki tona ingoa, ki a Nopaha.
