Oekyuk 32
1 Arulana pus cow nutin sruf lal Reuben ac Gad. Na ke elos liye lah wo acn Jazer ac Gilead nu ke tohf cow
Now the sons of Ruben and of Gad had many herds, and their substance in cattle was inestimable. And when they had seen that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were suitable for feeding animals,
2 elos utyak nu yorol Moses, Eleazar, ac mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel ac fahk,
they went to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the multitude, and they said:
3 “Acn Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sibmah, Nebo, ac Beon
“Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 LEUM GOD El tuh kasrekut eisla. Acn inge wona nu ke tohf kosro, ac arulana pus kosro natusr uh.
the land, which the Lord has struck in the sight of the sons of Israel, is a very fertile region for pasturing animals. And we, your servants, have very many cattle.
5 Nunak munas ase acn inge in ma lasr, ac tia sap kut in alukela Infacl Jordan in muta layen roto.”
And so we beseech you, if we have found favor before you, that you give it to us, your subjects, as a possession, and that you not cause us cross the Jordan.”
6 Tusruktu Moses el topuk ac fahk, “Ya ma liwos ac som mweun, a kowos ac mutana inge?
And Moses answered them: “Should your brothers go to battle, while you sit here?
7 Efu kowos ku srike in akmunasye nunkun mwet Israel tuh elos in tia lungse fahsr aliki Infacl Jordan nu in facl se su LEUM GOD El sang nu selos?
Why do you subvert the minds of the sons of Israel, so that they might not dare to cross into the place which the Lord will give to them?
8 Pa ingan ma papa tomowos ah tuh oru ke nga supwalosla liki Kadesh Barnea in kalngeyuk nu in acn sac.
Did not your fathers act in the same way, when I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to explore the land?
9 Elos som nwe sun Infahlfal Eshcol ac liye facl sac, tusruktu ke elos foloko, elos akmunasye mwet uh in tia utyak nu in facl se su LEUM GOD El sang nu selos.
And when they had gone all the way to the Valley of the Cluster of Grapes, having viewed the entire region, they subverted the hearts of the sons of Israel, so that they would not enter into the parts that the Lord gave to them.
10 LEUM GOD El tuh kasrkusrakak ke len sac, ac orala wulela se inge:
And being angry, the Lord swore an oath, saying:
11 ‘Nga fulahk lah, mweyen elos tia inse pwayena nu sik, wangin sie sin mwet su matwa yac longoulyak su illa liki acn Egypt fah utyak nu in facl se su nga wuleang kac nu sel Abraham, Isaac ac Jacob.’
‘These men, who ascended out of Egypt, from twenty years and above, will not see the land, which I have promised under an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For they were not willing to follow me,
12 Kas inge ma nu sin mwet nukewa, sayal Caleb wen natul Jephunneh mwet Ken, ac Joshua wen natul Nun. Eltal mukena inse pwayena nu sin LEUM GOD.
except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; these have fulfilled my will.’
13 LEUM GOD El kasrkusrakak sin mwet uh ac oru elos in forfor yen mwesis ke yac angngaul, nwe ke na fwil nufon se ma oru ma koluk ye mutal ah misa.
And the Lord, being angry against Israel, led them in a course through the desert for forty years, until the entire generation, which had done evil in his sight, was consumed.
14 Ac inge kowos sie fwil sasu su aolla papa matu tomowos in oru ma koluk, ac akyokye kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD nu fin Israel.
And behold,” he said, “you have risen up in the place of your fathers, the offshoots and the nurslings of sinful men, in order to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.
15 Mwet Reuben ac Gad, kowos fin forla lukel inge, El ac sifilpa fahsr liki mwet inge nukewa yen mwesis uh, na mwatan ma koluk ma ac sikyak inge ac fah oan fowos.”
But if you are not willing to follow him, he will leave the people behind in the wilderness, and you will have been the cause of all our deaths.”
16 Na elos kalukyang nu yorol Moses ac fahk, “Kut siyuk tuh kut in etoak kutu kalkal eot nu ke sheep natusr uh, ac musai kutu siti ke pot ku nu sin sou lasr uh.
But approaching closer, they said: “We will manufacture sheep pens and cattle stalls, as well as fortified cities, for our little ones.
17 Na kut ac fah akola in wi mwet Israel wiasr som nu ke mweun, ac kut fah fahsr meet in kololos nwe ke kut oakelosi fin acn su ac fah ma lalos. In pacl ingan, sou lasr uh fah muta inge in siti kalkalyak ke pot ku, ac tia sensen ke mwet in facl se inge.
But we ourselves will continue on, armed and girded for battle, before the sons of Israel, until we lead them to their places. Our little ones, and whatever we may be able to have, shall be in walled cities, because of the treachery of the inhabitants.
18 Kut fah tia foloko nu yen sesr nwe ke mwet Israel nukewa elos oakwuki in acn ma itukyang nu selos.
We will not return to our houses, even until the sons of Israel may possess their inheritance.
19 Kut fah tia eis kutena acn sesr layen roto in Infacl Jordan, mweyen kut eis tari ip lasr inge layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan.”
Neither will we seek anything across the Jordan, because we already have our possession on its eastern side.”
20 Moses el topuk, “Fin pwayena ma kowos fahk, na inge ye mutun LEUM GOD, kowos akola in som nu ke mweun.
And Moses said to them: “If you accomplish what you have promised, you may go out, equipped for battle, before the Lord.
21 Mwet mweun lowos nukewa in fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan, na ye koko lun LEUM GOD elos in mweun lain mwet lokoalok lasr nwe ke LEUM GOD El kutangulosla
And let every fighting man cross over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrows his enemies,
22 ac eis acn sac. Toko kowos ac ku in foloko, mweyen kowos akfalyela tari ma kunowos nu sin LEUM GOD ac nu sin mwet Israel wiowos. Na LEUM GOD El fah akkalemye lah acn se inge kutulap in Infacl Jordan ma lowos.
and all the land is subjected to him. Then you will be guiltless with the Lord and with Israel, and you will obtain the regions which you desire before the Lord.
23 Tusruktu kowos fin tia oru oana ma kowos wulela inge, nga akkalemye nu suwos lah kowos orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD. Kowos in arulana etu lah ac fah kaiyuk kowos ke ma koluk lowos.
But if you do not do what you have said, no one could doubt that you will have sinned against God. And know this: your sin shall overtake you.
24 Ke ma inge, musai siti nu sin sou lowos ac kalkal nu ke sheep ac nani nutuwos an, tusruktu kowos in oru na ma kowos wulela kac!”
Therefore, build cities for your little ones, and pens and stables for your sheep and cattle; and fulfill what you have promised.”
25 Na mukul ke sruf lal Gad ac Reuben elos fahk, “Moses, kut ac oru oana kom sapkin.
And the sons of Gad and of Ruben said to Moses: “We are your servants, we shall do what you, our ruler, orders.
26 Mutan kiasr, tulik natusr, cow natusr, ac sheep natusr fah mutana inge ke siti in acn Gilead.
We will leave behind our little ones, and our wives, and the sheep and cattle, in the cities of Gilead.
27 A kut nukewa ac akola in som nu ke mweun ye kolyuk lun LEUM GOD. Kut ac fahla alukela Infacl Jordan ac mweun, oana ke kom fahk.”
And we, your servants, all well-equipped, will go forth to battle, just as you, our ruler, has spoken.”
28 Ouinge Moses el sang ma sap inge nu sel Eleazar, Joshua, ac mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel:
Therefore, Moses instructed Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the princes of the families throughout the tribes of Israel, and he said to them:
29 “Mukul ke sruf lun Gad ac Reuben fin fahsr aliki Infacl Jordan ac akola nu ke mweun ke sap lun LEUM GOD, ac kowos fin eisla acn sac ke sripen kasru lalos, na kowos fah sang nu selos acn Gilead tuh in ma lalos.
“If the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben cross over the Jordan with you, all armed for war before the Lord, and if the land becomes subject to you, give them Gilead as a possession.
30 Tusruktu elos fin tia fahla alukela Infacl Jordan ac wi kowos mweun, elos ac fah eis na acn selos inmasrlowos fin acn Canaan.”
But if they are not willing to cross with you, armed, into the land of Canaan, then let them receive places among you for their dwellings.”
31 Mukul ke sruf lun Gad ac Reuben elos topuk, “Kut ac oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben responded: “Just as the Lord has spoken to his servants, so shall we do.
32 Ye kolyuk lal, kut fah fahla aliki nu in facl Canaan ac mweun, tuh acn inge kutulap in Infacl Jordan in ma lasr.”
We will go forth, armed, before the Lord into the land of Canaan; and we acknowledge that we have already received our possession across the Jordan.”
33 Ouinge Moses el oakiya acn nukewa ke facl sel Tokosra Sihon lun acn Amor, ac facl sel Tokosra Og lun acn Bashan, weang siti srisrik ac acn nukewa ma raunela, tuh in ma lun sruf lun Gad ac Reuben ac tafu sruf lal Manasseh.
And so, Moses gave to the sons of Gad and of Ruben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and their land with its surrounding cities.
34 Sruf lun Gad sifil musaela pot ku in siti Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
Therefore, the sons of Gad built up Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Atroth, Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
and Atroth and Shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
36 Beth Nimrah, ac Beth Haran.
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, as fortified cities with pens for their cattle.
37 Sruf lun Reuben sifil musaela Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
Yet truly, the sons of Ruben built up Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Meon (ayaolla inen acn se inge), ac Sibmah. Elos sang ine sasu nu ke siti ma elos sifil musaela.
and Nebo, and Baal-meon (their names having been changed) and Sibmah, appointing names for the cities which they had built.
39 Sou lulap lal Machir, wen natul Manasseh, mweun ac eisla acn Gilead, ac elos lusla mwet Amor su muta we.
Moreover, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, continued on within Gilead, and they devastated it, putting to death its inhabitant, the Amorite.
40 Ke ma inge Moses el sang acn Gilead nu sin sou lal Machir, ac elos muta we.
Therefore, Moses gave the land of Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh, and he lived in it.
41 Jair, ke sruf lal Manasseh, el mweun ac sruokya kutu siti srisrik we, ac sang ine sasu se inge nu kac: “Siti Srisrik lun Jair.”
But Jair, the son of Manasseh, went out and occupied its villages, which he called Havoth Jair, that is, the Villages of Jair.
42 Nobah el mweun ac sruokya acn Kenath ac siti srisrik raunela, ac sang inel sifacna nu ke acn inge: Nobah.
Likewise, Nobah went forth and captured Kenath with its villages. And he called it by his own name, Nobah.
