1Pea ko eni, ko e fānau ʻa Lupeni mo e fānau ʻa Kata naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻenau fanga manu: pea ne nau mamata ki he fonua ko Sesa, mo e fonua ko Kiliati, pea vakai, ko e potu ia ko e potu lelei ki he fanga manu;
1Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.
2Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni ʻonau lea kia Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e houʻeiki ʻoe kakai, ʻonau pehē,
2So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
3“Ko ʻAtaloti, mo Tiponi, mo Sesa, mo Nimila, mo Hesiponi, mo ʻIliale, mo Sipami, mo Nipo, mo Pioni,
3“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4ʻIo, ko e fonua naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e fonua ia ki he fanga manu, pea ʻoku ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae fanga manu:
4which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”
5Pea ko ia naʻa nau pehē ai, Kapau ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, tuku ke foaki ʻae fonua ni ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ke mau maʻu, pea ʻoua ʻe ʻave ʻakimautolu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.”
5“If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”
6¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese ki he fānau ʻa Kata, pea mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, “ʻE ʻalu homou kāinga ki he tau, ka te mou nofo pe ʻi heni?
6But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou fakavaivaiʻi ai ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ke taʻofi ʻenau ʻalu ki he fonua ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu?
7Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?
8Naʻe fai pehē hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi heʻeku fekau ʻakinautolu mei Ketesi-pania kenau mamata ki he fonua.
8This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.
9Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hake ki he vahaʻa ʻo ʻEsikoli, ʻonau mamata ki he fonua, naʻa nau fakavaivaiʻi ʻae loto ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ke taʻofi ʻenau ʻalu atu ki he fonua ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu.
9For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.
10Pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo ne fuakava, ʻo pehē,
10So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
11Ko e moʻoni ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻalu hake mei ʻIsipite, mei he uofulu taʻu ʻo fai hake, ʻe ʻikai tenau mamata ki he fonua ʻaia ne u fuakava ai kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau faʻa muimui kiate au:
11‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—
12Ka ko Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune mei he fānau ʻo Kenasi, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni: he naʻa na faʻa muimui kia Sihova.
12not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’
13Pea naʻe tutu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki ʻIsileli, ʻo ne pule kenau hē fano pe ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, kaeʻoua ke ʻauha ʻae toʻutangata kotoa pē naʻe fai meʻa kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
13The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.
14Pea vakai, kuo mou tuʻu hake ke fetongi hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ko e fakatokolahi ʻoe kau tangata angahala, ke fakaʻāsili ʻae houhau vela ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli
14Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.
15He kapau te mou foki mei he muimui kiate ia, te ne toe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa; pea ʻe ʻauha ʻae kakai ni kotoa pē ʻiate kimoutolu.”
15For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”
16¶ Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu mai kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “Te mau langa ʻi heni ʻae ngaahi lotoʻā sipi ki heʻemau fanga manu, mo e ngaahi kolo ki heʻemau fānau iiki.
16Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.
17Ka te mau ʻalu ʻakimautolu ʻo muʻomuʻa mo e mahafu ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, kaeʻoua ke mau ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau potu: pea ʻe nofo ʻemau fānau iiki ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoku lotoʻā koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoe fonua.
17But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.
18ʻE ʻikai te mau foki ki homau ngaahi fale kaeʻoua ke maʻu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa honau tofiʻa.
18We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.
19Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te mau nofo fakataha mo kinautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻo Sioatani, pe ki kō atu; koeʻuhi kuo tō homau tofiʻa kiate kimautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻo Sioatani ki he potu hahake ni.
19Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”
20¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kapau te mou fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea kapau te mou ō mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ke tau,
20Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,
21Pea kapau te mou ō kotoa pē mo e mahafu ʻo aʻa ʻi Sioatani ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, kaeʻoua ke ne kapusi ʻa hono ngaahi fili mei hono ʻao,
21and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,
22Pea ʻe vaivai ʻae fonua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea hili ia te mou foki taʻehalaia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, mo e ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ko e fonua ni ko homou nofoʻanga ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
22then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.
23Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fai pehē, vakai, kuo mou angahala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova: pea mou ʻilo pau eni ʻe moʻua ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou angahala.
23But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.
24Mou langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ki hoʻomou fānau iiki, mo e ngaahi lotoʻā ki hoʻomou fanga sipi; pea mou fai ʻaia kuo lea ʻaki ʻe homou ngutu.”
24Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
25Pea naʻe lea ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni kia Mōsese, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE fai ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa ʻemau ʻeiki.
25The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
26Ko ʻemau fānau iiki, mo homau ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻemau fanga sipi, mo ʻemau fanga manu kotoa pē, tenau nofo ai ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Kiliati:
26Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
27Ka ʻe ʻalu atu ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻae tangata taki taha mo ʻene mahafu ke tau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki.”
27But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”
28Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Nuni, pea mo e kau mātuʻa ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu:
28So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.
29Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻe aʻa ʻi Sioatani ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni mo kimoutolu, ʻae tangata taki taha mo e mahafu ke tau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe vaivai ʻae fonua ʻi homou ʻao; te mou toki foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae fonua ko Kiliati ke nau nofo ai.
29And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
30Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai tenau aʻa ai mo e mahafu ʻo fakataha mo kimoutolu, tenau maʻu ʻae ngaahi tofiʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani.”
30But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan.”
31Pea naʻe leaange ʻae fānau ʻa Kata mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻe pehē pe ʻemau fai.
31The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.
32Te mau aʻa mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ki he fonua ko Kēnani, koeʻuhi ke tō ai kiate kimautolu ʻa homau tofiʻa ʻi he kauvai ki heni ʻo Sioatani.”
32We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”
33Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, ʻio, ki he fānau ʻa Kata, mo e fānau ʻa Lupeni, pea mo e vaeua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase ko e foha ʻo Siosefa, ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, mo e puleʻanga ʻo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, ʻae fonua, mo hono ngaahi kolo ʻi he mata fonua, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻoe fonua ʻoku takatakai.
33So Moses gave to the Gadites, to the Reubenites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.
34¶ Pea naʻe langa ʻe he fānau ʻa Kata ʻa Tiponi, mo ʻAtaloti, mo ʻAloeli.
34And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35Mo ʻAtiloti, mo Sofani, mo Sesa, mo Sokipa,
35Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36Pea mo Petenimila, mo Petehalani, ko e ngaahi kolo lotoʻā: mo e ngaahi lotoʻā ki he fanga sipi.
36Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.
37Pea naʻe langa ʻe he fānau ʻa Lupeni ʻa Hesiponi, mo ʻIliale, mo Kesatemi,
37The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38Pea mo Nipo, mo Peali-mioni, (kuo liliu honau hingoa), mo Sipima: ʻonau fakahingoa kehe ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻa nau langa.
38as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.
39Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fānau ʻa Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase ki Kiliati, ʻo maʻu ia, ʻonau kapusi ʻae kau ʻAmoli naʻe ʻi ai.
39The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
40Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ʻa Kiliati kia Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase; pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi ai.
40So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
41Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Saili ko e foha ʻo Manase ʻo ne kapa hono ngaahi potu kakai siʻi, ʻo ui ia ko Havotisaili.
41Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.
42Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Nopa ʻo ne kapa ʻa Kinati, mo hono ngaahi potu kakai siʻi, ʻo ne fakahingoa ia ki hono hingoa ʻoʻona ko Nopa.
42And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
