¹Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

¹Kßaxal nabaleb lix quetômkeb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Gad. Queßril li naßajej Jazer ut Galaad ut queßxqßue retal nak châbil re qßuirisînc quetômk.

²The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,

²Joßcan nak queßcôeb riqßuineb laj Moisés, laj Eleazar laj tij ut eb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb laj Israel. Ut queßxye reheb:

³Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

³—Qßuehomak retal chanru eb li naßajej Atarot, Dibón, Jazer, Nimra, Hesbón, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo ut Beón.

⁴Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

⁴Li Kâcuaß quinumta saß xbêneb li cuanqueb aran. Li naßajej aßan châbil re qßuirisînc quetômk. Ut lâo nacuulac chiku qßuirisînc quetômk.

⁵Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.

⁵Cui nequeraj xbânunquil usilal ke, qßuehomak ke li naßajej aßan chokß kaherencia. Ut moêtakla toj jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán, chanqueb.

⁶And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?

⁶Ut laj Moisés quixye reheb: —¿Ma têraj texcanâk arin ut eb lê rech tenamitil teßxic jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán chi pletic?

⁷And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

⁷¿Cßaßut nak têraj tâchßinânk xchßôleb lê rech tenamitil chi xic chirêchaninquil li naßajej li xqßue ke li Kâcuaß?

⁸Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.

⁸Joßcan ajcuiß queßxbânu lê xeßtônil yucuaß aran Cades-barnea nak quintaklaheb chixqßuebal retal li naßajej aßan.

⁹For when they went up unto 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 the LORD had given them.

⁹Queßcôeb toj saß li nimaß Escol. Nak ac queßril li naßajej queßxqßue chi chßinânc xchßôleb li rech tenamitil re nak incßaß teßoc saß li naßajej li quixqßue li Dios reheb.

¹⁰And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

¹⁰Quichal xjoskßil li Dios saß xbêneb ut quixye riqßuin juramento:

¹¹Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

¹¹Eb li cuînk li queßel chak Egipto li cuan junmay chihab reheb, joß eb ajcuiß li ac numenakeb junmay chihab, incßaß teßoc saß li châbil naßajej li quinyechißi riqßuin juramento reheb laj Abraham, laj Isaac, ut laj Jacob xban nak incßaß queßxpâb chi anchal xchßôleb li cßaßru quinye reheb.

¹²Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

¹²Caßajeb cuiß laj Caleb, li ralal laj Jefone laj cenezeo ut laj Josué li ralal laj Nun naru teßoc xban nak xineßxpâb chi anchal xchßôleb”, chan li Dios.

¹³And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

¹³Cßajoß nak quijoskßoß li Dios saß xbêneb laj Israel. Joßcan nak quixqßueheb chixbeninquil ribeb saß li chaki chßochß chiru caßcßâl chihab toj retal queßosoß chixjunileb li queßxbânu li incßaß us chiru li Kâcuaß.

¹⁴And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

¹⁴Ut anakcuan lâex li ralal xcßajolex li queßxbânu li incßaß us, têraj cuißchic xqßuebal xjoskßil li Dios saß kabên lâo aj Israel.

¹⁵For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

¹⁵Cui lâex têraj xkßetkßetinquil êrib chiru li Dios, li Dios toxcanab chi cuânc saß li chaki chßochß joß quixbânu junxil. Ut saß êmâc lâex nak tâsachekß ru li katenamit Israel, chan laj Moisés.

¹⁶And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

¹⁶Queßnachßoc ut riqßuin laj Moisés eb laj Rubén ut eb laj Gad ut queßxye re: —Tento takayîb li kanaßaj reheb li kaquetômk. Ut takayîb ajcuiß li tenamit re teßcuânk cuiß li kixakil ut eb li kacocßal.

¹⁷But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

¹⁷Abanan lâo takacauresi kib ut toxic chi ubej chi pletic toj retal takêchani li naßajej li teßcuânk cuiß li jun chßol chic laj Israel. Li kixakil ut eb li kacocßal teßcanâk arin saß eb li tenamit li ac cauresinbileb re teßxcol cuiß ribeb chiruheb li cuanqueb saß li naßajej aßin.

¹⁸We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

¹⁸Lâo incßaß tosukßîk saß li naßajej aßin toj nak ac xeßrêchani lix naßajeb chixjunileb laj Israel.

¹⁹For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

¹⁹Ut lâo mâcßaß takêchani jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán xban nak acak xkêchani li kanaßaj arin chire li nimaß Jordán saß li este, chanqueb.

²⁰And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,

²⁰Ut laj Moisés quixye reheb: —Cui yâl nak yôquex chi âtinac, cauresihomak êrib chi pletic joß quixye li Kâcuaß.

²¹And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

²¹Texxic jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán joß tixye êre li Kâcuaß. Ut texpletik riqßuineb li xicß nequeßiloc ke toj texnumtâk saß xbêneb.

²²And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

²²Nak acak xerêchani li naßajej, lâex naru texsukßîk saß li naßajej aßin xban nak ac xebânu li cßaßru xeyechißi xbânunquil re li Dios ut reheb lê rech tenamitil. Ut li naßajej aßin êrehak chic chiru li Kâcuaß.

²³But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

²³Abanan cui incßaß têbânu li cßaßru xeyechißi re li Kâcuaß, qßuehomak retal nak texmâcobk chiru li Kâcuaß. Ut lâex têcßul xtojbal lê mâc.

²⁴Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

²⁴Lâex naru nequeyîb lix tenamiteb lê rixakil ut eb lê cocßal ut naru nequeyîb xnaßajeb lê quetômk. Abanan têbânu chixjunil li cßaßru xeye, chan laj Moisés.

²⁵And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

²⁵Ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Gad ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén queßxye re laj Moisés: —Lâo laj cßanjel châcuu. Lâo takabânu li cßaßru xaye ke.

²⁶Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

²⁶Eb li kacocßal, ut eb li kixakil joß eb ajcuiß li kaquetômk teßcanâk arin saß eb li tenamit li cuan saß xcuênt Galaad.

²⁷But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.

²⁷Abanan lâo tocßanjelak châcuu. Takacauresi kib ut toxic chi pletic jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán. Takabânu li kataklanquil xban li Kâcuaß joß xaye ke, chanqueb.

²⁸So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:

²⁸Tojoßnak laj Moisés quiâtinac riqßuin laj Eleazar laj tij ut laj Josué li ralal laj Nun ut riqßuineb ajcuiß li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb lix têpaleb laj Israel ut quixye reheb li cßaßru teßxbânu.

²⁹And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

²⁹Quixye reheb: —Cui eb li cuînk xcomoneb li ralal xcßajol laj Gad ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén teßxic jun pacßal li nimaß chi pletic, lâex têqßue reheb li naßajej Galaad nak ac xerêchani li chßochß.

³⁰But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

³⁰Abanan cui incßaß nequeßxic chi pletic êrochben, tento nak teßxcßul lix naßajeb aran Canaán êrochben lâex, chan.

³¹And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

³¹Ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Gad ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén queßxye: —Lâo laj cßanjel châcuu. Lâo takabânu joß xye ke li Kâcuaß.

³²We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.

³²Lâo toxic chi pletic jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán aran Canaán joß naxye ke li Kâcuaß. Abanan li naßajej li tocuânk cuiß, aßan li cuan saß li pacßal aßin, saß li oriente, chanqueb.

³³And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto 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, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

³³Joßcan nak laj Moisés quixqßue lix naßaj laj Sehón lix reyeb laj amorreo ut lix naßaj laj Og lix reyeb laj Basán reheb li ralal xcßajol laj Gad, ut reheb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén ut reheb ajcuiß yijach li ralal xcßajol laj Manasés li ralal laj José. Quixqßue ajcuiß reheb li tenamit ut eb li cocß cßalebâl li cuanqueb chi xjun sutam.

³⁴And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

³⁴Ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Gad queßxyîb eb li tenamit Dibón, Atarot, Aroer,

³⁵And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

³⁵Atarot-sofán, Jazer, Jogbeha,

³⁶And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.

³⁶Bet-nimra ut Bet-arán. Queßxcauresiheb li tenamit aßin ut queßxyîb ajcuiß lix naßaj lix quetômkeb.

³⁷And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

³⁷Ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén queßxyîb cuißchic li tenamit Hesbón, Eleale, Quiriataim,

³⁸And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

³⁸ut Nebo ut Baal-meón, li cuib chi tenamit li queßxjal xcßabaßeb mokon. Ut queßxyîb ajcuiß li tenamit Sibma. Ut queßxqßue jalan xcßabaßeb li tenamit li queßxyîb.

³⁹And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

³⁹Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Maquir, li ralal laj Manasés, queßcôeb Galaad ut queßnumta saß xbêneb laj amorreo toj retal nak queßrisiheb.

⁴⁰And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

⁴⁰Joßcan nak laj Moisés quixqßue li naßajej Galaad reheb li ralal xcßajol laj Maquir li ralal laj Manasés. Ut eb aßan queßcana chi cuânc aran.

⁴¹And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.

⁴¹Ut cô ajcuiß laj Jair, xcomoneb li ralal xcßajol laj Manasés. Quinumta saß xbêneb cuib oxib chic lix naßajeb laj amorreo ut queßxqßue Havot-jair chokß xcßabaß li naßajej aßan.Ut cô ajcuiß laj Noba ut quirêchani li naßajej Kenat rochbeneb li cocß cßalebâl li cuanqueb chi xjun sutam.

⁴²And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

⁴²Ut cô ajcuiß laj Noba ut quirêchani li naßajej Kenat rochbeneb li cocß cßalebâl li cuanqueb chi xjun sutam. Ut quixqßue Noba chokß xcßabaß xban nak aßan lix cßabaß li cuînk aßan.
