< Resansman 32 >

1 Moun branch fanmi Woubenn ak moun branch fanmi Gad yo te gen anpil anpil bèt. Lè yo wè jan peyi Jazè a ak peyi Galarad la te bon pou fè gadinaj,
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.
2 yo vin jwenn Moyiz, Eleaza, prèt la, ak chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo, yo di yo konsa:
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,
3 -Tout rejyon kote nou jwenn lavil sa yo: Atawo, Dibon, Jazè, Nimra, Esbon, Eleyale, Sèbam, Nebo ak Biyon,
“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 tout peyi Seyè a te ede moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran pou yo bò isit la, se tè ki bon pou fè gadinaj, lèfini nou menm nou gen anpil bèt.
the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”
5 Tanpri, si ou vle fè nou favè sa a, ban nou peyi sa a pou pòsyon pa nou. Pa fòse nou janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an.
They said, “If we have found favour in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.”
6 Moyiz reponn yo: -Nou ta renmen rete isit la pandan lòt frè nou yo pral nan goumen?
Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7 Poukisa nou vle dekouraje moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo pa ale nan peyi Seyè a ba yo a?
Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8 Se menm bagay la zansèt nou yo te fè wi lè mwen te voye yo ale vizite peyi a antan nou te Kadès Banea.
Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
9 Yo moute jouk nan ravin Echkòl la, yo vizite tout peyi a. Apre sa, yo dekouraje moun pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo pa antre nan peyi Seyè a te ba yo a.
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 the LORD had given them.
10 Jou sa a, Seyè a te move anpil sou yo. Li sèmante, li di konsa:
The LORD’s anger burnt in that day, and he swore, saying,
11 Okenn nan gason ki te gen ventan osinon ki te pi gran lè yo te soti kite peyi Lejip p'ap mete pwent pye yo nan peyi mwen te pwomèt sou sèman m'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la, paske yo pa t' kenbe pawòl yo ak mwen,
‘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,
12 an wetan Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune, moun fanmi Kenaz yo, ak Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan. Se yo menm sèlman ki te toujou swiv Seyè a san mank.
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed the LORD completely.’
13 Se konsa, Seyè a fè yon sèl move sou pèp Izrayèl la, li fè yo moute desann nan dezè a pandan karantan, jouk dènye moun ki te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a mouri.
The LORD’s anger burnt against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation who had done evil in the LORD’s sight was consumed.
14 Epi koulye a, nou vle fè tankou papa nou yo? Ou byen wè se pitit yo nou ye vre! Nou pral fè Seyè a pi move ankò sou pèp Izrayèl la.
“Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of the LORD towards Israel.
15 Si nou vire do nou ba li, l'a fè pèp la rete pi lontan ankò nan dezè a. Se nou menm ki va lakòz pèp la fini nèt.
For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all these people.”
16 Yo pwoche bò Moyiz, yo di l' konsa: -Pou konmanse, nou ta renmen moute kloti ak wòch pou fèmen pak bèt nou yo, epi nou ta renmen bati lavil ak ranpa pou pitit nou yo.
They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones;
17 Men, nou menm gason yo, nou tou pare pou n' ale goumen ansanm ak rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo, pou nou pran devan lè n'ap atake lènmi jouk yo rive nan peyi ki pou yo a. Pandan tan sa a, moun pa nou yo menm va rete isit la nan lavil ak ranpa yo kote moun peyi a p'ap ka fè yo anyen.
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.
18 Nou p'ap tounen lakay nou toutotan tout lòt moun nan pèp Izrayèl la poko jwenn pòsyon tè ki pou yo a.
We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their inheritance.
19 Nou p'ap pran anyen nan tè ki pou yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, paske yo ban nou tè ki bò isit larivyè Jouden an, sou kote solèy leve a, pou pòsyon pa nou.
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.”
20 Moyiz di yo konsa: -Si nou fè tou sa nou sot di la a, si vreman vre nou pare pou n' al goumen devan Seyè a,
Moses said to them: “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
21 si tout gason ki ka goumen pami nou yo janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an devan Seyè a, jouk Seyè a va fin kraze tout lènmi l' yo devan li,
and every one of your armed men will pass over the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
22 enben, apre tout peyi a va tonbe anba men Seyè a, n'a tounen vin lakay nou, paske n'a fin fè tou sa nou te dwe fè pou Seyè a ak pou pèp Izrayèl la. Lè sa a, tout peyi ki bò isit la va rele nou pa nou devan Seyè a.
and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be clear of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. Then this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
23 Men, si nou pa fè tou sa, konnen se kont Seyè a menm n'a peche. N'a peye konsekans peche nou an.
“But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Nou mèt bati lavil ak ranpa pou moun pa nou yo. Nou mèt moute lantouraj pou mete bèt nou yo nan pak. Men, se pou nou fè sa nou pwomèt n'ap fè a.
Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.”
25 Moun fanmi Woubenn yo ak moun fanmi Gad yo di konsa: -Mèt, n'ap fè tou sa ou mande nou fè.
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands.
26 Pitit nou yo va rete nan lavil ki nan peyi Galarad yo ansanm ak madanm nou yo ak tout bèf, tout mouton ak tout kabrit nou yo,
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27 Men, nou menm gason ki pare pou n' al goumen yo, n'ap pase devan Seyè a pou n' al fè lagè jan ou di l' la.
but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says.”
28 Lè sa a, Moyiz bay Eleaza, prèt la, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la lòd sa a sou moun sa yo.
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.
29 Li di yo: -Si gason nan branch fanmi Woubenn ak nan branch fanmi Gad yo janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an avèk nou tou pare pou y' al goumen devan Seyè a, lè tout peyi a va anba men nou, n'a ba yo tè peyi Galarad la pou yo.
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 the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30 Men, si yo pa janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou y' al goumen avèk nou, y'a resevwa pòsyon tè pa yo nan peyi Kanaran an ansanm ak nou.
but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions amongst you in the land of Canaan.”
31 Mesye branch fanmi Woubenn ak branch fanmi Gad yo reponn Moyiz, yo di l' konsa: -N'a fè tou sa Seyè a mande nou fè. Se sèvitè li nou ye.
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.
32 N'a janbe lòt bò larivyè a tou pare pou n' al goumen devan Seyè a, n'a antre nan peyi Kanaran an. Men toutjan, nou mande pou yo ban nou pòsyon tè ki bò isit larivyè Jouden an pou nou.
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.”
33 Se konsa Moyiz pran tout peyi Amori ki te pou wa Siyon, ak peyi Bazan ki te pou wa Og, avèk tout lavil ki nan limit fwontyè peyi yo, li bay moun fanmi Gad yo, moun fanmi Woubenn yo ak mwatye moun ki nan fanmi Manase, pitit gason Jozèf la.
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.
34 Moun fanmi Gad yo rebati tout lavil sa yo: Dibon, Atawòt, Awoyè,
The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atawo, Sofam, Jaze ak Jobeya,
Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Bèt-Nimra, Bèt aran. Yo rebati yo avèk ranpa pou pwoteje yo, yo fè pak tou pou mouton ak kabrit.
Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities and folds for sheep.
37 Moun fanmi Woubenn yo menm rebati lavil sa yo: Esbon, Elealè, Kiryatayim,
The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Meyon ak Sibma. Yo te chanje non lavil Nebo ak Baal Meyon. Yo bay tout lavil yo rebati yo lòt non.
Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built.
39 Moun fanmi Maki, pitit gason Manase a, pati pou peyi Galarad kote moun Amori yo te rete a. Yo anvayi tout peyi a, yo mete moun Amori yo deyò.
The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein.
40 Se konsa tou, Moyiz bay moun fanmi Maki, pitit gason Manase a, peyi Galarad la pou yo rete.
Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein.
41 Moun fanmi Jayi, pitit gason Manase a, al atake yon seri ti bouk. Yo anvayi yo epi yo rele yo Bouk Jayi.
Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its villages, and called them Havvoth Jair.
42 Noba menm al atake lavil Kenat ak lòt ti bouk ki sou lòd li yo. l' anvayi l', epi li ba li non l'. Li rele l' Noba.
Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
