< 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;
Pea ko eni, ko e fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻenau fanga manu: pea ne nau mamata ki he fonua ko Sesa, mo e fonua ko Kiliati, pea vakai, ko e potu ia ko e potu lelei ki he fanga manu;
2 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni ʻonau lea kia Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e houʻeiki ʻoe kakai, ʻonau pehē,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Ko ʻAtaloti, mo Tiponi, mo Sesa, mo Nimila, mo Hesiponi, mo ʻIliale, mo Sipami, mo Nipo, mo Pioni,
4 the land which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.
‌ʻIo, ko e fonua naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e fonua ia ki he fanga manu, pea ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae fanga manu:
5 And they said, If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over Jordan.
Pea ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai, Kapau ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, tuku ke foaki ʻae fonua ni ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ke mau maʻu, pea ʻoua ʻe ʻave ʻakimautolu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.”
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?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa Kata, pea mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, “ʻE ʻalu homou kāinga ki he tau, ka te mou nofo pe ʻi heni?
7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou fakavaivaiʻi ai ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke taʻofi ʻenau ʻalu ki he fonua ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
Naʻe fai pehē hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi heʻeku fekau ʻakinautolu mei Ketesi-pania kenau mamata ki he fonua.
9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hake ki he vahaʻa ʻo ʻEsikoli, ʻonau mamata ki he fonua, naʻa nau fakavaivaiʻi ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke taʻofi ʻenau ʻalu atu ki he fonua ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu.
10 And the LORD’S anger was kindled in that day, and he sware, saying,
Pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo ne fuakava, ʻo pehē,
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
Ko e moʻoni ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻalu hake mei ʻIsipite, mei he uofulu taʻu ʻo fai hake, ʻe ʻikai tenau mamata ki he fonua ʻaia ne u fuakava ai kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau faʻa muimui kiate au:
12 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun: because they have wholly followed the LORD.
Ka ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune mei he fānau ʻo Kenasi, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni: he naʻa na faʻa muimui kia Sihova.
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.
Pea naʻe tutu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pule kenau hē fano pe ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, kaeʻoua ke ʻauha ʻae toʻutangata kotoa pē naʻe fai meʻa kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
Pea vakai, kuo mou tuʻu hake ke fetongi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko e fakatokolahi ʻoe kau tangata angahala, ke fakaʻāsili ʻae houhau vela ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
He kapau te mou foki mei he muimui kiate ia, te ne toe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa; pea ʻe ʻauha ʻae kakai ni kotoa pē ʻiate kimoutolu.”
16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu mai kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “Te mau langa ʻi heni ʻae ngaahi lotoʻā sipi ki heʻemau fanga manu, mo e ngaahi kolo ki heʻemau fānau iiki.
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 fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
Ka te mau ʻalu ʻakimautolu ʻo muʻomuʻa mo e mahafu ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kaeʻoua ke mau ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau potu: pea ʻe nofo ʻemau fānau iiki ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoku lotoʻā koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoe fonua.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
‌ʻE ʻikai te mau foki ki homau ngaahi fale kaeʻoua ke maʻu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa honau tofiʻa.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te mau nofo fakataha mo kinautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻo Sioatani, pe ki kō atu; koeʻuhi kuo tō homau tofiʻa kiate kimautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻo Sioatani ki he potu hahake ni.
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,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kapau te mou fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea kapau te mou ō mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ke tau,
21 and every armed man of you will pass over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
Pea kapau te mou ō kotoa pē mo e mahafu ʻo aʻa ʻi Sioatani ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, kaeʻoua ke ne kapusi ʻa hono ngaahi fili mei hono ʻao,
22 and the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless towards the LORD, and towards Israel; and this land shall be unto you for a possession before the LORD.
Pea ʻe vaivai ʻae fonua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea hili ia te mou foki taʻehalaia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo e ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ko e fonua ni ko homou nofoʻanga ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fai pehē, vakai, kuo mou angahala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea mou ʻilo pau eni ʻe moʻua ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou angahala.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
Mou langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ki hoʻomou fānau iiki, mo e ngaahi lotoʻā ki hoʻomou fanga sipi; pea mou fai ʻaia kuo lea ʻaki ʻe homou ngutu.”
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni kia Mōsese, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE fai ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa ʻemau ʻeiki.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
Ko ʻemau fānau iiki, mo homau ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻemau fanga sipi, mo ʻemau fanga manu kotoa pē, tenau nofo ai ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Kiliati:
27 but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
Ka ʻe ʻalu atu ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻae tangata taki taha mo ʻene mahafu ke tau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki.”
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.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, pea mo e kau mātuʻa ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu:
29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over 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:
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻe aʻa ʻi Sioatani ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni mo kimoutolu, ʻae tangata taki taha mo e mahafu ke tau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe vaivai ʻae fonua ʻi homou ʻao; te mou toki foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae fonua ko Kiliati ke nau nofo ai.
30 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai tenau aʻa ai mo e mahafu ʻo fakataha mo kimoutolu, tenau maʻu ʻae ngaahi tofiʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani.”
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.
Pea naʻe leaange ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻe pehē pe ʻemau fai.
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 Jordan.
Te mau aʻa mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ki he fonua ko Kēnani, koeʻuhi ke tō ai kiate kimautolu ʻa homau tofiʻa ʻi he kauvai ki heni ʻo Sioatani.”
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.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, ʻio, ki he fānau ʻa Kata, mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea mo e vaeua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ko e foha ʻo Siosefa, ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, mo e puleʻanga ʻo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻae fonua, mo hono ngaahi kolo ʻi he mata fonua, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻoe fonua ʻoku takatakai.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer;
Pea naʻe langa ʻe he fānau ʻa Kata ʻa Tiponi, mo ʻAtaloti, mo ʻAloeli.
35 and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah;
Mo ʻAtiloti, mo Sofani, mo Sesa, mo Sokipa,
36 and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran: fenced cities, and folds for sheep.
Pea mo Petenimila, mo Petehalani, ko e ngaahi kolo lotoʻā: mo e ngaahi lotoʻā ki he fanga sipi.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim;
Pea naʻe langa ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni ʻa Hesiponi, mo ʻIliale, mo Kesatemi,
38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Sibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
Pea mo Nipo, mo Peali-mioni, (kuo liliu honau hingoa), mo Sipima: ʻonau fakahingoa kehe ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻa nau langa.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites which were therein.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase ki Kiliati, ʻo maʻu ia, ʻonau kapusi ʻae kau ʻAmoli naʻe ʻi ai.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ʻa Kiliati kia Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase; pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi ai.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the towns thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Saili ko e foha ʻo Manase ʻo ne kapa hono ngaahi potu kakai siʻi, ʻo ui ia ko Havotisaili.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Nopa ʻo ne kapa ʻa Kinati, mo hono ngaahi potu kakai siʻi, ʻo ne fakahingoa ia ki hono hingoa ʻoʻona ko Nopa.
