Números 32

1 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 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 "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon, 4 the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock." 5 They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan."

6 Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here? 7 Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them? 8 Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. 9 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 Yahweh had given them. 10 Yahweh’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying, 11 ‘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 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed Yahweh completely.’ 13 Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation who had done evil in Yahweh’s sight was consumed.

14 "Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel. 15 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 They came near to him, and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones; 17 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 We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their inheritance. 19 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 Moses said to them: "If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war, 21 and every one of your armed men will pass over the Jordan before Yahweh until he has driven out his enemies from before him, 22 and the land is subdued before Yahweh; then afterward you shall return, and be clear of obligation to Yahweh and to Israel. Then this land shall be your possession before Yahweh.

23 "But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh; and be sure your sin will find you out. 24 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."

25 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do as my lord commands. 26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be there in the cities of Gilead; 27 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, as my lord says."

28 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 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 Yahweh, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession; 30 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."

31 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, "As Yahweh has said to your servants, so will we do. 32 We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan."

33 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 The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, 35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, 36 Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities and folds for sheep. 37 The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim, 38 Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built. 39 The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein. 40 Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein. 41 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its villages, and called them Havvoth Jair. 42 Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

Ngā Iwi ki te Rāwhiti o Horano

1 Nā, he tini rawa ngā kāhui a ngā tama a Reupena, rātou ko ngā tama a Kara; ā, ka kite rātou i te whenua o Iatere, i te whenua hoki o Kireara, nā, he wāhi pai tēnā wāhi mō ngā kāhui. 2 Nā, ka haere ngā tama a Kara rātou ko ngā tama a Reupena, ka kōrero ki a Mohi rāua ko Ereātara tohunga, ki ngā rangatira anō o te whakaminenga, ka mea, 3 "Ko Ataroto, ko Ripono, ko Iatere, ko Nimira, ko Hehepona, ko Ereare, ko Hepama, ko Nepo, ko Peono – 4 ko te whenua katoa i patua nā e Ihowā i te aroaro o te whakaminenga o Īharaira – he whenua pai tēnā mō ngā kāhui, he kāhui anō hoki a āu pononga." 5 I mea anō rātou, "Mehemea e manakohia ana mātou i tōu aroaro, me hōmai tēnei whenua hei kāinga mō āu pononga; kaua mātou e meatia kia whiti i Horano."

6 Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki ngā tama a Kara rātou ko ngā tama a Reupena: "Ko ō koutou tēina koia kia haere ki te whawhai, ā, ko koutou kia noho ki konei? 7 He aha koutou i pēhi ai i te ngākau o ngā tama a Īharaira kia kaua e whiti ki te whenua i hōmai e Ihowā ki a rātou? 8 I pēnā anō ō koutou mātua i tāku tononga atu i a rātou i Karehepārenea kia kite i te whenua. 9 I tō rātou haerenga hoki ki runga ki te awaawa o Ehekora, ā, ka kite rātou i te whenua, nā, pēhia ana e rātou ngā ngākau o ngā tama a Īharaira, kia kaua e haere ki te whenua i hōmai nei e Ihowā ki a rātou. 10 Nā, ko te muranga o tō Ihowā riri i taua rā, ā, ka oati ia, ka mea, 11 ‘E kore rawa ngā tāngata i haere mai nei i Īhipa, ngā mea e rua tekau, he maha atu rānei ō rātou tau, e kite i te whenua i oati ai ahau ki a Āperahama, ki a Īhaka, ki a Hākopa; mō rātou kīhai i tino whai i ahau – 12 heoi anō ko Karepe, ko te tama a Iepune Keniti, rāua ko Hohua, te tama a Nunu; mō rāua i tino whai i a Ihowā.’ 13 Nā, ko te muranga o te riri o Ihowā ki a Īharaira, ā, meinga ana rātou kia kōpikopiko i te koraha, e whā tekau ngā tau, ā poto noa taua whakapaparanga i mahi nā i te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowā.

14 "Nā, kua ara ake nā koutou hei whakakapi mō ō koutou mātua, he huanga tāngata hara, hei whakanui atu i te mura o tō Ihowā riri ki a Īharaira. 15 Nō te mea ki te tahuri kē koutou, ā, kāhore e whai i a ia, ka waiho anō rātou e ia i te koraha; ā, mā koutou ka ngaro ai tēnei iwi katoa."

16 Nā, ka whakatata rātou ki a ia, ka mea: "Ka hangā e mātou he taiepa hipi ki konei mō ā mātou kararehe, me ētahi pā mō ā mātou tamariki. 17 Ko mātou ia ka haere me ā mātou patu i mua i ngā tama a Īharaira, kia kawea rā anō rātou e mātou ki te wāhi mō rātou; ā, me noho ā mātou tamariki ki ngā pā e whai taiepa ana, he wehi hoki i ngā tāngata o tēnei whenua. 18 E kore mātou e hoki ki ō mātou whare, kia riro rā anō tōna kāinga i tēnei, i tēnei o ngā tama a Īharaira. 19 E kore hoki mātou e tū tahi me rātou i te kāinga i tāwāhi o Horano, i tua atu rānei; nō te mea ka riro mai he kāinga mō mātou i tēnei taha o Horano, i te taha ki te rāwhiti."

20 Nā, ka mea a Mohi ki a rātou: "Ki te meatia tēnei mea e koutou – ki te haere koutou me ā koutou patu i te aroaro o Ihowā ki te whawhai, 21 ki te whiti katoa hoki koutou i Horano me ā koutou patu i te aroaro o Ihowā, kia peia rā anō e ia ōna hoariri i mua i a ia, 22 ā, ka taea te whenua i te aroaro o Ihowā – kātahi koutou ka hoki, ā, ka harakore ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ki te aroaro anō hoki o Īharaira; ā, mō koutou tēnei whenua hei nohoanga i te aroaro o Ihowā.

23 "Tēnā ia, ka kore koutou e pēnā, nanā, kua hara koutou ki a Ihowā; ā, kia mōhio koutou, e hopukia anō koutou e tō koutou hara. 24 Hangā ngā pā mō ā koutou tamariki, me ngā taiepa mō ā koutou hipi; meatia anō hoki te mea i puta mai i ō koutou māngai."

25 Nā, ka kōrero ngā tama a Kara rātou ko ngā tama a Reupena ki a Mohi, ka mea, "Ka pēnā āu pononga me tā tōku ariki i whakahau ai. 26 Ko reira ā mātou tamariki, ā mātou wāhine, ā mātou kāhui, me ā mātou kararehe katoa, ko ngā pā o Kireara. 27 Ko āu pononga ia me whiti katoa atu, rite rawa i te patu mō te pakanga, whawhai ai i te aroaro o Ihowā; me pērā me tā tōku ariki i kī ai."

28 Nā, ka whakahaua te tikanga mō rātou e Mohi ki a Ereātara tohunga, rātou ko Hohua tama a Nunu, ko ngā ariki hoki o ngā whare o ngā mātua o ngā iwi o ngā tama a Īharaira. 29 Ā, ka mea a Mohi ki a rātou, "Ki te whiti katoa atu i roto i a koutou ngā tama a Kara i Horano, rātou ko ngā tama a Reupena, me ā rātou patu anō, whawhai ai i te aroaro o Ihowā, ā, ka taea te whenua i tō koutou aroaro; nā, me hoatu e koutou te whenua o Kireara kia puritia e rātou; 30 ki te kāhore ia rātou e whiti tahi i a koutou, me ā rātou patu, nā, tēnā he wāhi hei puritanga mā rātou i roto i a koutou i te whenua o Kanaana."

31 Nā, ka whakautua e ngā tama a Kara rātou ko ngā tama a Reupena, ka mea, "Ka rite tonu tā mātou e mea ai ki tā Ihowā i kōrero mai ai ki āu pononga. 32 Me whiti mātou me ā mātou patu i te aroaro o Ihowā ki te whenua o Kanaana, ā, hei puritanga mā mātou tō mātou kāinga i tēnei taha o Horano."

33 Nā, ka hōmai e Mohi ki a rātou, ki ngā tama a Kara, ki ngā tama a Reupena rātou ko tētahi tānga o te iwi o Mānahi tama a Hōhepa te kīngitanga o Hihona kīngi o ngā Amori, me te kīngitanga o Oka kīngi o Pahana, te whenua me ōna pā i roto i ō rātou rohe, arā ngā pā o te whenua ā tawhio noa.

34 Nā, ka hangā e ngā tama a Kara a Ripono, a Ataroto, a Aroere, 35 me Ateroto Hopana, me Iatere, me Iokopeha, 36 me Petenimira, me Peteharana; he pā taiepa, me ngā taiepa mō ngā hipi. 37 Ā, nā ngā tama a Reupena i hanga a Hehepona, a Ereare, a Kiriataima, 38 a Nepo, a Paara-Meono, (i whakaputaia kētia hoki ngā ingoa) me Hipima. I huaina anō hoki e rātou he ingoa kē ki ngā pā i hangā e rātou.

39 Ā, i haere atu ngā tama a Makiri tama a Mānahi ki Kireara, ā, tangohia ana e ia, peia ana hoki te Amori i reira. 40 Ā, i hoatu e Mohi a Kireara ki a Makiri tama a Mānahi; ā, noho ana ia i reira. 41 Ā, i haere a Haira tama a Mānahi, ā, tangohia ana e ia ngā pā o reira, ā, huaina iho e ia, ko Hawotohaira. 42 Ā, i haere a Nopaha, ā, tangohia ana e ia a Kenata, me ōna pā ririki, ā, huaina iho ki tōna ingoa, ki a Nopaha.
