< Numbers 32 >

1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. They saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead. Behold, the place was a place for livestock.
Te vaengah Reuben ca rhoek te boiva muep om tih Gad ca taengah khaw ping uh khungdaeng. Te phoeiah Jazer khohmuen neh Gilead khohmuen te a sawt vaengah a hmuen khaw boiva hmuen la tarha a hmuh uh.
2 Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
Te dongah Gad koca rhoek neh Reuben koca rhoek te cet uh tih Moses taeng neh khosoih Eleazar taengah khaw, rhaengpuei khoboei rhoek taengah khaw a thui uh.
3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
Te vaengah Ataroth neh Dibon, Jazer neh Nimrah, Heshbon neh Elealeh, Sibam, Nebo, Beon,
4 the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”
Israel rhaengpuei kah mikhmuh ah, “BOEIPA loh a ngawn khohmuen te boiva kah khohmuen tih na sal rhoek taengah khaw boiva om ta,” a ti uh.
5 They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.”
Te phoeiah, “Na mik ah mikdaithen ka hmuh atah he khohmuen he na sal rhoek taengah khohut la m'paek vetih Jordan te kaimih nam paan sak pawt mako,” a ti uh.
6 Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
Tedae Moses loh Gad koca rhoek taeng neh Reuben koca rhoek taengah, “Nangmih hela na ngol uh vaengah na manuca rhoek tah caemtloek la cet uh saeh a?
7 Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them?
BOEIPA loh amih taengah a paek khohmuen la kat ham te balae tih Israel ca rhoek kah lungbuei he a khaban la na khaban uh.
8 Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
Khohmuen sawt ham Kadeshbarnea lamloh amih ka tueih vaengah na pa rhoek loh he ni a saii uh.
9 For when they went up to 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 Yahweh had given them.
Eshkol soklong la cet uh tih khohmuen khaw a hmuh uh dae BOEIPA loh amih taengah a paek khohmuen la kun pawt ham Israel ca rhoek kah lungbuei te a khaban uh.
10 Yahweh’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying,
Amah khohnin ah BOEIPA kah thintoek sai tih a toemngam.
11 ‘Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me,
Egypt lamkah aka lo hlang rhoek khuiah kum kul neh a so hang ca rhoek tah khohmuen te hmu uh mahpawh. Te te Abraham, Isaak taeng neh Jakob taengah ka toemngam dae kai hnukah a tlun uh moenih.
12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed Yahweh completely.’
Kenizzi Jephunneh capa Kaleb neh Nun capa Joshua tah BOEIPA hnukah tlun rhoi.
13 Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation who had done evil in Yahweh’s sight was consumed.
Te vaengah BOEIPA kah thintoek te Israel taengah sai tih BOEIPA mik ah boethae aka saii kah cadil boeih a cing hil amih te khosoek ah kum sawmli a poengdoe sak.
14 “Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel.
Israel taengah BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa te koep khoengvoep ham ni na pa rhoek yueng hlangtholh hlang kah tahoengnah dongah na pai uh he.
15 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all these people.”
A hnuk lamloh na phael uh dongah khosoek ah amih tloeng ham koep a koei vetih he pilnam boeih he na mit uh bitni,” a ti nah.
16 They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones;
Te phoeiah a taengla mop uh tih, “Kaimih kah boiva ham boiva kah tanglung neh ka ca rhoek ham khopuei pahoi ka thoh uh mako.
17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
Tedae amih te a hmuen la ka pawk uh hil tah kaimih he Israel ca mikhmuh ah tawn uh ham ka pumcum uh bitni. Te vaengah khohmuen kah khosa rhoek mikhmuh lamkah hmuencak khopuei rhoek ah mamih kah camoe rhoek ana om saeh.
18 We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their inheritance.
Israel ca rhoek khuikah hlang loh a rho a pang hlanah ka im la ka mael uh mahpawh.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.”
Jordan kah rhalvangan neh a voel kah amih neh m'phaeng uh boel saeh. Jordan khocuk ngan ah kaimih taengah kamamih kah rho om coeng,” a ti uh.
20 Moses said to them: “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war,
Te dongah Moses loh amih te, “He ol he na ngai uh mak atah, caemtloek ham BOEIPA mikhmuh ah na pumcum uh mak atah,
21 and every one of your armed men will pass over the Jordan before Yahweh until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
Nangmih aka pumcum boeih te tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Jordan te a poeng vetih a thunkha rhoek te a mikhmuh lamloh a haek ni.
22 and the land is subdued before Yahweh; then afterward you shall return, and be clear of obligation to Yahweh and to Israel. Then this land shall be your possession before Yahweh.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah khohmuen a khoem uh coeng. Te dongah mael uh lamtah BOEIPA taeng neh Israel taengah ommongsitoe la na om uh bitni. Khohmuen he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nangmih kah khohut la om bitni.
23 “But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh; and be sure your sin will find you out.
Te te na saii uh pawt atah BOEIPA taengah na tholh coeng ne. Te vaengah namamih kah tholhnah loh nangmih m'hmuh bitni tila ming uh.
24 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.”
Nangmih ham neh na camoe ham khopuei khaw, na tu ham tanglung khaw thoh uh. Tedae nangmih ka lamloh aka thoeng te rhoi uh,” a ti nah.
25 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands.
Te phoeiah Gad koca rhoek neh Reuben koca rhoek loh Moses taengah, “Na sal rhoek long he ka boei kah a uen bangla a saii uh bitni.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
Ka yuu rhoek neh ka ca rhoek, ka boiva neh ka rhamsa boeih tah Gilead khopuei rhoek ah pahoi om uh bitni.
27 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, as my lord says.”
Ka boei kah na thui bangla, BOEIPA mikhmuh ah caempuei la aka pumcum na sal rhoek tah caemtloek la boeih kat bitni ni,” a ti uh.
28 So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the children of Israel.
Amih kongah Moses loh khosoih Eleazar, Nun capa Joshua neh Israel ca rhoek kah koca, a napa boeilu rhoek te a uen.
29 Moses said to them, “If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before Yahweh, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
Te vaengah Moses loh amih te, “BOEIPA mikhmuh ah caemtloek la aka pumcum Gad koca rhoek neh Reuben ca boeih tah nangmih taengah Jordan te kat uh coeng. Nangmih mikhmuh ah khohmuen te a khoem uh dongah Gilead khohmuen te amih taengah khohut la pae.
30 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”
Nangmih taengah aka pumcum uh khaw a kat uh pawt atah Kanaan khohmuen ah tah nangmih khui kah te bawn uh saeh,” a ti nah.
31 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As Yahweh has said to your servants, so will we do.
Gad koca rhoek neh Reuben koca rhoek loh a doo uh tih, “BOEIPA loh na sal rhoek taengah a thui bangla ka saii uh tangloeng bitni.
32 We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”
Kaimih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah aka pumcum rhoek tah Kanaan khohmuen la ka kat uh ni. Tedae Jordan rhalvang he tah kaimih kah rho neh kaimih ham khohut la om saeh,” a ti uh.
33 Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to 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 its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.
Te dongah Moses loh amih, Gad koca rhoek taeng neh Reuben koca rhoek taengah khaw, Joseph capa Manasseh koca hlangvang taengah khaw, Amori manghai Sihon kah ram, Bashan manghai Oga kah ram neh khohmuen, khohmuen kaepvai khopuei rhibawn kah a khopuei te a paek.
34 The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
Te dongah Gad koca rhoek loh, Dibon, Ataroth neh Aroer,
35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
Aroth-shophan, Jazer neh Jobehah,
36 Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities and folds for sheep.
Bethnimrah neh Bethharan, hmuencak khopuei rhoek neh boiva kah tanglung te a thoh uh.
37 The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
Reuben koca rhoek loh Heshbon, Elealeh neh Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built.
Nebo neh ming aka hoi Baalmeon, Sibam te a thoh uh. Te kah a thoh uh khopuei rhoek ming te a ming neh a khue uh.
39 The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein.
Manasseh capa Makir koca rhoek tah Gilead la cet uh tih a buem uh. Te vaengah a khui kah Amori te a haek uh.
40 Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein.
Te dongah Moses loh Gilead te Manasseh capa Makir taengah a paek tih a khuiah kho a sak uh.
41 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its villages, and called them Havvoth Jair.
Manasseh capa Jair loh cet tih a vangca rhoek te a loh dongah te rhoek te Jair vangca a sui.
42 Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nobah khaw cet tih Kenath neh a khobuel rhoek te a loh. Te dongah te te amah ming la Nobah a sui.
