1 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a mĩhĩrĩga ya Rubeni na Gadi, arĩa maarĩ na ndũũru nene cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri, nĩmoonire atĩ mabũrũri ma Jazeri na Gileadi maarĩ mega na mahiũ mao.
Nowe the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad had an exceeding great multitude of cattell: and they sawe the lande of Iazer, and the lande of Gilead, that it was an apt place for cattel.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, o na kũrĩ atongoria a kĩrĩndĩ, makiuga atĩrĩ,
Then the children of Gad, and the childre of Reuben came, and spake vnto Moses and to Eleazar the Priest, and vnto the princes of the Congregation, saying,
3 “Atarothu, na Diboni, na Jazeri, na Nimura, na Heshiboni, na Eleale, na Sebamu, na Nebo, o na Beoni,
The land of Ataroth, and Dibon, and Iazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 bũrũri ũyũ Jehova aatooririe andũ akuo mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli, nĩ kũndũ kwega kwa mahiũ, na ithuĩ ndungata ciaku tũrĩ na mahiũ.”
Which countrey the Lord smote before the Congregation of Israel, is a lande meete for cattell, and thy seruants haue cattell:
5 Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩtwĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte harĩ inyuĩ-rĩ, rekei bũrũri ũyũ ũheo ndungata cianyu ũtuĩke witũ. Mũtigatũme tũringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.”
Wherefore, said they, if we haue foud grace in thy sight, let this lande be giuen vnto thy seruants for a possession, and bring vs not ouer Iorde.
6 Musa akĩũria andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni atĩrĩ, “Andũ anyu no mathiĩ ita-inĩ mamũtige mũikarĩte gũkũ?
And Moses said vnto the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren goe to warre, and ye tary heere?
7 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũũrage ngoro cia andũ a Isiraeli nĩguo matikaringe rũũĩ matoonye bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova amaheete?
Wherefore now discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel, to goe ouer into the lande, which the Lord hath giuen them?
8 Ũguo noguo maithe manyu meekire hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaamarekirie kuuma Kadeshi-Barinea mathiĩ magathigaane bũrũri ũcio.
Thus did your fathers when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the lande.
9 Thuutha wa kwambata, magĩkinya kĩanda kĩa Eshikoli na makĩĩrorera bũrũri ũcio-rĩ, nĩmatũmire andũ a Isiraeli makue ngoro makĩaga gũtoonya bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova amaheete.
For when they went vp euen vnto the riuer of Eshcol, and sawe the land: they discouraged the heart of the childre of Israel, that they woulde not goe into the lande, which the Lord had giuen them.
10 Jehova agĩcinwo nĩ marakara mũthenya ũcio, akĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ:
And the Lordes wrath was kindled the same day, and he did sweare, saying,
11 ‘Nĩ ũndũ nĩmagĩte kũnũmĩrĩra na ngoro ciao kũna, hatirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria wa arĩa moimire bũrũri wa Misiri ũkoona bũrũri ũrĩa nderĩire Iburahĩmu na Isaaka, o na Jakubu na mwĩhĩtwa,
None of the men that came out of Egypt from twentie yeere olde and aboue, shall see the land for the which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak, and to Iaakob, because they haue not wholly followed me:
12 gũtirĩ o na ũmwe tiga Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune, ũrĩa Mũkenizi, na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, nĩ ũndũ nĩmarũmĩrĩire Jehova na ngoro ciao kũna.’
Except Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenesite, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun: for they haue constantly followed the Lord.
13 Jehova agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli, nake agĩtũma morũũre werũ-inĩ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, o nginya rĩrĩa rũciaro rũu ruothe rwehĩtie maitho-inĩ make rwathirire.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and made them wander in the wildernesse fourty yeeres, vntill all the generation that had done euill in the sight of the Lord were consumed.
14 “Na rĩrĩ, mũrĩ haha inyuĩ, inyuĩ rũciaro rũrũ rwa ehia, mũcookete ithenya rĩa maithe manyu nĩguo mũtũme Jehova akĩrĩrĩrie kũrakarĩra Isiraeli.
And behold, ye are risen vp in your fathers steade as an encrease of sinfull men, still to augment the fierce wrath of the Lord, toward Israel.
15 Mũngĩgarũrũka mũtige kũmũrũmĩrĩra-rĩ, nake Jehova nĩegũtiganĩria andũ aya othe gũkũ werũ-inĩ rĩngĩ, na inyuĩ mũtuĩke gĩtũmi gĩa kũmaniinithia.”
For if ye turne away from following him, he will yet againe leaue the people in the wildernesse, and ye shall destroy all this folke.
16 Nao magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Musa makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũkwenda gwakĩra ũhiũ witũ ciugũ gũkũ, na twakĩre andũ-a-nja aitũ na ciana matũũra manene.
And they went neere to him, and said, We will builde sheepe foldes here for our sheepe, and for our cattell, and cities for our children.
17 No rĩrĩ, nĩtwĩhaarĩirie kuoya indo ciitũ cia mbaara na tũthiĩ mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli nginya tũmakinyie kwao. Hĩndĩ ĩyo, andũ-a-nja aitũ na ciana maikarage matũũra manene mairigĩre na hinya, nĩgeetha magitĩrwo kuuma kũrĩ atũũri a bũrũri ũyũ.
But we our selues will be readie armed to go before the children of Israel, vntill we haue brought them vnto their place: but our childre shall dwell in the defenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the lande.
18 Tũtigacooka mĩciĩ iitũ o nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũisiraeli o wothe akaamũkĩra igai rĩake.
We will not returne vnto our houses, vntil the children of Israel haue inherited, euery man his inheritance.
19 Ithuĩ tũtikaamũkĩra igai hamwe nao mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Jorodani, nĩ ũndũ igai riitũ tũrĩ narĩo mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.”
Neither wil we inherite with them beyond Iorden and on that side, because our inheritance is fallen to vs on this side Iorden Eastwarde.
20 Nake Musa akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩĩka ũguo-rĩ, na mwĩohe indo cianyu cia mbaara mbere ya Jehova nĩguo mũkarũe,
And Moses saide vnto them, If ye will doe this thing, and goe armed before the Lord to warre:
21 na inyuothe mũngĩthiĩ mwĩohete indo cia mbaara, mũringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũrĩ mbere ya Jehova o nginya rĩrĩa akaingata thũ ciake ciume mbere yake,
And will goe euery one of you in harnesse ouer Iorden before the Lord, vntill he hath cast out his enemies from his sight:
22 hĩndĩ ĩrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũgaakorwo ũtooretio mbere ya Jehova, hĩndĩ ĩyo no mũcooke mĩciĩ yanyu na muohorwo kuuma kĩĩranĩro kĩanyu kũrĩ Jehova o na kũrĩ Isiraeli. Naguo bũrũri ũyũ nĩũgatuĩka wanyu maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
And vntill the land be subdued before the Lord, then ye shall returne and be innocent toward the Lord, and toward Israel: and this land shalbe your possession before the Lord.
23 “No mũngĩkaaga gwĩka ũguo, nĩmũkehĩria Jehova; na mũmenye na ma atĩ mehia manyu nĩmakamũcookerera.
But if ye will not doe so, beholde, ye haue sinned against the Lord, and be sure, that your sinne will finde you out.
24 Akĩrai andũ-a-nja anyu na ciana matũũra manene na ciugũ cia ndũũru cianyu, no hingiai ũguo mweranĩra.”
Builde you then cities for your children and folds for your sheepe, and do that ye haue spoke.
25 Andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni makĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ ndungata ciaku nĩtũgwĩka o ta ũguo mwathi witũ aathana.
Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake vnto Moses, saying, Thy seruats will doe as my lorde commandeth:
26 Ciana ciitũ na atumia aitũ megũikara gũkũ matũũra-inĩ manene ma Gileadi, ũndũ ũmwe na ndũũru ciitũ cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe.
Our childre, our wiues, our sheepe, and al our cattell shall remaine there in the cities of Gilead,
27 No ithuĩ ndungata ciaku-rĩ, o mũndũ eyohete indo ciake cia mbaara, nĩtũkũringa mũrĩmo ũũrĩa tũkarũe tũrĩ mbere ya Jehova, o ta ũguo mwathi witũ oiga.”
But thy seruants will goe euery one armed to warre before the Lord for to fight, as my lorde saith.
28 Nake Musa akĩruta watho nĩ ũndũ wao, akĩarĩria Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na atongoria a nyũmba cia mĩhĩrĩga ya andũ a Isiraeli,
So concerning them, Moses commanded Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
29 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni nĩmekũringa Jorodani, o mũndũ wao eyohete indo cia mbaara, marĩ hamwe na inyuĩ marĩ mbere ya Jehova-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũgatoorio mbere yanyu, nĩmũkamahe bũrũri wa Gileadi ũtuĩke wao.
And Moses said vnto them, If the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben, will go with you ouer Iorden, all armed to fight before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you, ye shall giue the the lad of Gilead for a possessio:
30 No mangĩaga kũringa hamwe na inyuĩ meeohete indo ciao cia mbaara, no nginya metĩkĩre igai rĩao hamwe na inyuĩ bũrũri wa Kaanani.”
But if they will not goe ouer with you armed, then they shall haue their possessions amog you in the land of Canaan.
31 Andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ciaku nĩ igwĩka o ta ũguo Jehova oigĩte.
And the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said vnto thy seruants, so will we doe.
32 Nĩtũkũringa tũrĩ mbere ya Jehova tũtoonye bũrũri wa Kaanani twĩohete indo cia mbaara, no kũndũ kũrĩa ithuĩ tũkaagaya-rĩ, gũgaakorwo kũrĩ mbarĩ ĩno ya Jorodani.”
We will goe armed before the Lord into the lande of Canaan: that the possession of our inheritance may be to vs on this side Iorden.
33 Musa akĩhe andũ a Gadi na a Rubeni na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase mũrũ wa Jusufu, bũrũri ũrĩa wothe wathamakagwo nĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, na ũrĩa wothe wathamakagwo nĩ Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, akĩmahe bũrũri ũcio wothe, na matũũra manene makuo o na ngʼongo iria ciamarigiicĩirie.
So Moses gaue vnto them, euen to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to halfe the tribe of Manasseh the sonne of Ioseph, the kingdome of Sihon King of the Amorites, and the kingdome of Og King of Bashan, the lande with the cities thereof and coastes, euen the cities of the countrey round about.
34 Andũ a Gadi nĩmakire Diboni, na Atarothu, na Aroeri,
Then the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 na Atarothu-Shofani, na Jazeri, na Jogibeha,
And Atroth, Shophan, and Iazer, and Iogbehah,
36 na Bethi-Nimira, na Bethi-Harani, maarĩ matũũra manene mairigĩre na hinya na magĩakĩra ndũũru ciao cia mbũri ciugũ.
And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, defenced cities: also sheepe foldes.
37 Nao andũ a Rubeni magĩaka Heshiboni, na Eleale, na Kiriathaimu rĩngĩ,
And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
38 o ũndũ ũmwe na Nebo na Baali-Meoni (marĩĩtwa macio nĩmagarũrirwo) na Sibima. Nao makĩhe matũũra macio manene maakire marĩĩtwa mangĩ.
And Nebo, and Baal-meon, and turned their names, and Shibmah: and gaue other names vnto the cities which they built.
39 Nacio njiaro cia Makiru mũrũ wa Manase igĩthiĩ Gileadi, magĩkwĩnyiitĩra na makĩingata Aamori arĩa maarĩ kuo.
And the children of Machir the sonne of Manasseh went to Gilead, and tooke it, and put out the Amorites that dwelt therein.
40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩheana Gileadi kũrĩ andũ a Makiru, acio njiaro cia Manase, nao magĩtũũra kuo.
Then Moses gaue Gilead vnto Machir the sonne of Manasseh, and he dwelt therein.
41 Na rĩrĩ, Jairu wa rũciaro rwa Manase, akĩĩnyiitĩra tũtũũra twa Gileadi na agĩtwĩta Havothu-Jairu.
And Iair the sonne of Manasseh went and tooke the small townes thereof, and called them Hauoth Iair.

Also Nobah went and tooke Kenath, with the villages thereof and called it Nobah, after his owne name.
