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
The people of the tribes of Reuben and Gad had much livestock. They saw that the land near Jazer [city] and the Gilead [region east of the Jordan River] had good [grass] for the animals [to graze on].
2 elos utyak nu yorol Moses, Eleazar, ac mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel ac fahk,
So their leaders came to Eleazar and the other leaders of the people and Moses/me. They said,
3 “Acn Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sibmah, Nebo, ac Beon
“We have a great amount of livestock.
4 LEUM GOD El tuh kasrekut eisla. Acn inge wona nu ke tohf kosro, ac arulana pus kosro natusr uh.
Yahweh has enabled us Israelis to capture some land that is very good for animals [to graze on]—the land near Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon [towns].
5 Nunak munas ase acn inge in ma lasr, ac tia sap kut in alukela Infacl Jordan in muta layen roto.”
If it pleases you, we would like this land to be ours, instead of land on the other side of the Jordan River.”
6 Tusruktu Moses el topuk ac fahk, “Ya ma liwos ac som mweun, a kowos ac mutana inge?
Moses/I replied to the leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben, “It is not right for [RHQ] your fellow Israelis to go to fight in wars and you stay 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?
[If you do that], you will cause the other Israelis to be discouraged, with the result that they will not cross [the Jordan River] to the land that Yahweh is giving to them [RHQ].
8 Pa ingan ma papa tomowos ah tuh oru ke nga supwalosla liki Kadesh Barnea in kalngeyuk nu in acn sac.
Your ancestors did the same kind of thing. I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to see what the land [of Canaan] was like.
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.
They went as far as Eshcol Valley, but when they saw [the huge people in] the land, [they returned and] caused the Israeli people to be discouraged, saying ‘We should not try to enter the land that Yahweh said that he is giving to us.’
10 LEUM GOD El tuh kasrkusrakak ke len sac, ac orala wulela se inge:
So Yahweh became very angry with them, and he solemnly declared this:
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.’
‘From all the people who came out of Egypt, the only ones who are at least 20 years old who will see the land that I promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua, because they trusted me completely. None of the other people who came out of Egypt will even see that land, because they have not completely believed in my [power].’
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.
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.
So Yahweh was angry with the Israeli people, and [as a result] he has caused us to wander in this desert for 40 years. Finally, all the people who had sinned against Yahweh [by refusing to trust him] died, [one by one].
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 you are acting like your ancestors did! You sinful Israeli people are going to cause Yahweh to be more angry with you [than he was with our ancestors]
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.”
If you stop trusting him, he will cause you and all your fellow Israelis to stay longer in the desert, and he will get rid of all of you!”
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.
Then the [leaders of the tribes of Reuben and Gad] said to Moses/me, “First we will build pens for our animals and build cities for our families here.
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.
Then our families will live in strong cities with walls around them, and they will be safe from the people who live in this land. Then we will get ready to fight battles. We will help the other Israelis to get land [on the other side of the river].
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 homes until every Israeli has received some land.
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.”
We will not take any land on the west side of the Jordan [River]; our land will be here on the east side.”
20 Moses el topuk, “Fin pwayena ma kowos fahk, na inge ye mutun LEUM GOD, kowos akola in som nu ke mweun.
So Moses/I told them, “[Okay, I will tell you] what you all must do. You must get ready to fight battles for Yahweh.
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
You all must cross the Jordan [River] carrying your weapons.
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.
After Yahweh helps us to take that land [from the people who live there], you will be permitted to return to your homes. You will have done what you have promised Yahweh and the Israeli people that you would do, and you may keep this land to be your own, given to you by Yahweh.
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 these things, you will be sinning against Yahweh, and he will punish you for [that] sin.
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!”
Now you can build cities for your families and pens for your animals, but after doing that, you must do what you have promised.”
25 Na mukul ke sruf lal Gad ac Reuben elos fahk, “Moses, kut ac oru oana kom sapkin.
The leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben replied, “We will do what you have asked us to do [MTY], because you are our leader.
26 Mutan kiasr, tulik natusr, cow natusr, ac sheep natusr fah mutana inge ke siti in acn Gilead.
Our wives and children and our cattle and sheep and goats will stay here in the cities in the Gilead area,
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.”
but we will prepare to go to battle. We will take our weapons and go across [the Jordan River] and fight for Yahweh, just as you, our leader, have said.”
28 Ouinge Moses el sang ma sap inge nu sel Eleazar, Joshua, ac mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel:
So Moses/I gave instructions about them to Eleazar, Joshua, and the leaders of the Israeli tribes.
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.
Moses/I said to them, “If the men from the tribes of Gad and Reuben prepare for battle and cross the Jordan [River] with you, in order to do what Yahweh desires and help you to take that land, give them the Gilead area to belong to them.
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 do not take their weapons and go with you prepared to fight, they will not receive this land. They will need to accept some land in Canaan, like the rest of you will do.”
31 Mukul ke sruf lun Gad ac Reuben elos topuk, “Kut ac oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
The [leaders of the tribes of Gad and Reuben] replied, “We will do what you have said and what Yahweh has said.
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 cross the river into Canaan land, and we will do what Yahweh desires and be prepared for battle. But our land will be [here] on the east side of the Jordan [River].”
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.
So Moses/I agreed to give that land to the tribes of Gad and Reuben and to half of the tribe of Joseph’s son Manasseh. That land was previously the land where Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, ruled, and the land where Og, the king of Bashan [region], ruled, including its cities and surrounding land.
34 Sruf lun Gad sifil musaela pot ku in siti Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
The people of the tribe of Gad rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atroth, Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
Atroth-Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Beth Nimrah, ac Beth Haran.
Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran cities. Those were cities with strong walls around them. And they also built pens for their sheep.
37 Sruf lun Reuben sifil musaela Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
The people of the tribe of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Meon (ayaolla inen acn se inge), ac Sibmah. Elos sang ine sasu nu ke siti ma elos sifil musaela.
Nebo, Baal-Meon, and Sibmah cities. When they rebuilt Nebo and Baal-Meon, they gave new names to those cities.
39 Sou lulap lal Machir, wen natul Manasseh, mweun ac eisla acn Gilead, ac elos lusla mwet Amor su muta we.
The descendants of Manasseh’s son Makir went to the Gilead [region] and compelled the people of the Amor people-group to leave that area.
40 Ke ma inge Moses el sang acn Gilead nu sin sou lal Machir, ac elos muta we.
So Moses/I gave Gilead to the family of Makir, and they started to live there.
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.”
Jair, who was also a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured the small towns in that region, and he named them the Towns of Jair.
42 Nobah el mweun ac sruokya acn Kenath ac siti srisrik raunela, ac sang inel sifacna nu ke acn inge: Nobah.
A man named Nobah went and captured Kenath [city] and the nearby towns, and then he put his own name to be the new name of that area.
