¹Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

¹Siis kutsus Joosua ruubenlased, gaadlased ja Manasse poole suguharu

²And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

²ning ütles neile: 'Te olete pannud tähele kõike, mida Mooses, Issanda sulane, teid käskis, ja olete võtnud kuulda minu häält kõiges, milleks mina teile olen käsu andnud.

³Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

³Te ei ole maha jätnud oma vendi selle pika aja jooksul kuni tänini ja olete pidanud, mida tuleb pidada - Issanda, oma Jumala käsku.

⁴And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

⁴Nüüd on Issand, teie Jumal, andnud teie vendadele rahu, nagu ta neile lubas; pöörduge siis nüüd ümber ja minge oma telkide juurde, oma pärusmaale, mille Mooses, Issanda sulane, teile andis teisel pool Jordanit.

⁵But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

⁵Olge vaid väga hoolsad täitma käsku ja Seadust, mille Mooses, Issanda sulane, teile on andnud, et te armastaksite Issandat, oma Jumalat, ja käiksite kõigil tema teedel ja peaksite tema käske ja hoiaksite tema poole ning teeniksite teda kõigest oma südamest ja kõigest oma hingest!'

⁶So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.

⁶Ja Joosua õnnistas neid ning saatis nad minema; ja nad läksid oma telkide juurde.

⁷Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,

⁷Manasse poolele suguharule oli Mooses andnud maad Baasanis, aga teisele poolele andis Joosua koos nende vendadega lääne pool Jordanit; ja kui Joosua saatis nad nende telkide juurde, siis õnnistas tema ka neid

⁸And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

⁸ja rääkis nendega, öeldes: 'Minge tagasi oma telkide juurde oma suure noosiga ja väga paljude loomadega, hõbeda, kulla, vase ja rauaga, ja väga suure hulga riietega; jaotage koos oma vendadega oma vaenlastelt saadud saak!'

⁹And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

⁹Ja ruubenlased, gaadlased ja Manasse pool suguharu läksid tagasi ning tulid ära Iisraeli laste juurest Siilost, mis on Kaananimaal, et minna Gileadimaale, oma pärusmaale, kuhu nad olid asunud Moosese läbi antud Issanda käsul.

¹⁰And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.

¹⁰Kui ruubenlased, gaadlased ja Manasse pool suguharu jõudsid Jordani piirkonda Kaananimaal, siis nad ehitasid sinna Jordani äärde altari, silmapaistvalt suure altari.

¹¹And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.

¹¹Ja Iisraeli lapsed kuulsid räägitavat: 'Vaata, ruubenlased, gaadlased ja Manasse pool suguharu on ehitanud altari Jordani piirkonda vastu Kaananimaad, Iisraeli laste maa-ala teise äärde.'

¹²And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.

¹²Kui Iisraeli lapsed seda kuulsid, siis kogunes terve Iisraeli laste kogudus Siilosse, et minna sõtta nende vastu.

¹³And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

¹³Ja Iisraeli lapsed läkitasid ruubenlaste, gaadlaste ja Manasse poole suguharu juurde Gileadimaale Piinehasi, preester Eleasari poja,

¹⁴And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.

¹⁴ja koos temaga kümme vürsti, üks perekonna vürst igast Iisraeli suguharust, igaüks neist oma perekonna peamees Iisraeli tuhandete seas.

¹⁵And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,

¹⁵Ja need tulid ruubenlaste, gaadlaste ja Manasse poole suguharu juurde Gileadimaale ja rääkisid nendega, öeldes:

¹⁶Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?

¹⁶'Nõnda ütleb terve Issanda kogudus: Mis jumalavallatus see on, mida te olete osutanud Iisraeli Jumala vastu, et te nüüd taganete Issanda järelt, ehitate endile altari ja hakkate nüüd Issanda vastu mässama?

¹⁷Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

¹⁷Kas meile on vähe Peori patust, millest me endid tänapäevani ei ole puhastanud ja millest tuli nuhtlus Issanda kogudusele?

¹⁸But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

¹⁸Ja teie tahate nüüdki taganeda Issanda järelt. Kui te täna mässate Issanda vastu, siis vihastub ta homme kogu Iisraeli koguduse peale.

¹⁹Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.

¹⁹Aga kui teie pärusmaa on roojane, siis tulge üle Issanda pärusmaale, kus on Issanda elamu, ja asuge meie keskele, kuid ärge mässake Issanda vastu ja ärge mässake meie vastu, ehitades endile altari lisaks Issanda, meie Jumala altarile!

²⁰Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

²⁰Eks talitanud Aakan, Serahi poeg, petise kombel hävitamisele määratuga? Siis langes viha terve Iisraeli koguduse peale, kuigi ta ju oli üksainus mees. Eks ta pidanud surema oma süü pärast?'

²¹Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,

²¹Siis ruubenlased, gaadlased ja Manasse pool suguharu vastasid ja rääkisid Iisraeli tuhandete peameestega:

²²The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)

²²'Jumalate Jumal Issand, jumalate Jumal Issand, tema teab, ja Iisrael saagu teada: kui see on mässu ja truudusetuse pärast Issanda vastu - siis ära meid täna aita! -

²³That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;

²³et me ehitasime endile altari Issanda järelt taganemiseks, või selleks, et selle peal ohverdada põletus- ja roaohvreid, või et selle peal valmistada tänuohvreid - siis nõudku Issand ise aru!

²⁴And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?

²⁴Aga et niisugust tahet ei olnud, siis tegime seda mõeldes, et tulevikus võiksid teie lapsed meie lastega rääkida ja öelda: Mis on teil tegemist Issandaga, Iisraeli Jumalaga?

²⁵For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

²⁵Issand on ju pannud Jordani piiriks meie ja teie vahele, ruubenlased ja gaadlased. Teil ei ole Issandast osa! Teie lapsed võiksid keelata meie lapsi Issandat kartmast.

²⁶Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:

²⁶Sellepärast me ütlesime: Tehkem siis enestele see altar, ehitades mitte põletus- ega tapaohvri tarvis,

²⁷But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.

²⁷vaid see olgu tunnistajaks meie ja teie vahel ja meie järeltulevate põlvede vahel pärast meid, et me tahame toimetada Issanda teenistust tema palge ees oma põletus-, tapa- ja tänuohvritega, et teie lapsed ei saaks edaspidi öelda meie lastele: Teil ei ole Issandast osa!

²⁸Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.

²⁸Ja me mõtlesime: kui nad tulevikus nõnda ütlevad meile ja meie järeltulevaile põlvedele, siis me saame vastata: Vaadake Issanda altari kuju, mille meie vanemad on teinud mitte põletus- ega tapaohvri jaoks, vaid tunnistajaks meie ja teie vahele.

²⁹God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

²⁹Jäägu meist kaugele, et mässaksime Issanda vastu ja taganeksime nüüd Issanda järelt, ehitades altari põletusohvri, roaohvri ja tapaohvri jaoks lisaks Issanda, meie Jumala altarile, mis on tema elamu ees!'

³⁰And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.

³⁰Kui preester Piinehas ja koguduse vürstid ja Iisraeli tuhandete peamehed, kes olid koos temaga, kuulsid sõnu, mis ruubenlased, gaadlased ja manasselased rääkisid, siis oli see hea nende silmis.

³¹And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.

³¹Ja preester Eleasari poeg Piinehas ütles ruubenlastele, gaadlastele ja manasselastele: 'Nüüd me teame, et Issand on meie keskel! Et te seda jumalavallatust ei ole teinud Issanda vastu, siis te olete päästnud Iisraeli lapsed Issanda käest.'

³²And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

³²Ja preester Eleasari poeg Piinehas ja vürstid läksid tagasi ruubenlaste ja gaadlaste juurest Gileadimaalt Kaananimaale Iisraeli laste juurde ning tõid neile sõna.

³³And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.

³³Ja see sõna oli hea Iisraeli laste silmis ja Iisraeli lapsed kiitsid Jumalat ega mõelnud enam nende vastu sõttaminekule, et hävitada maad, kus elasid ruubenlased ja gaadlased.

³⁴And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.

³⁴Ja ruubenlased ja gaadlased andsid altarile nimeks 'See on tunnistaja meie vahel, et Issand on Jumal'.
