¹Then Joshua calleth for the Reubenite, and for the Gadite, and for the half of the tribe of Manasseh,

¹Siis kutsus Joosua ruubenlased, gaadlased ja Manasse poole suguharu

²and saith unto them, `Ye — ye have kept the whole of that which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, and ye hearken to my voice, to all that I have 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, and have kept the charge — the command of Jehovah 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.

⁴`And, now, Jehovah your God hath given rest to your brethren, as He spake to them; and now, turn ye, and go for yourselves to your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses, servant of Jehovah, hath given to you beyond the 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.

⁵Only, be very watchful to do the command and the law which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and to cleave to 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!'

⁶And Joshua blesseth them, and sendeth them away, and they go unto their tents.

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

⁷And to the half of the tribe of Manasseh hath Moses given, in Bashan, and to its [other] half hath Joshua given with their brethren beyond the Jordan westward; and also when Joshua hath sent them away unto their tents, then he doth bless 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 speak unto them, saying, `With great riches turn ye back 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 sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, turn back and go from the sons of Israel out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, in which they have possession, according to the command of Jehovah, 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 they come in unto the districts of the Jordan, which [are] in the land of Canaan, and the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, build there an altar by the Jordan — a great altar for appearance.

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

¹¹And the sons of Israel hear, saying, `Lo, the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, have built the altar over-against the land of Canaan, on the districts of the Jordan, at the passage of the sons 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 the sons of Israel hear, and all the company of the sons of Israel is assembled at Shiloh, to go up against them to war;

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

¹³and the sons of Israel send unto the sons of Reuben, and unto the sons of Gad, and unto the half of the tribe of Manasseh — unto the land of Gilead — Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest,

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

¹⁴and ten princes with him, one prince, one prince, for a house of a father, for all the tribes of Israel, and each of them a head of a house of their fathers, for 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 come in unto the sons of Reuben, and unto the sons of Gad, and unto the half of the tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and speak with them, saying,

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

¹⁶`Thus said all the company of Jehovah, What [is] this trespass which ye have trespassed against the God of Israel, to turn back to-day from after Jehovah, by your building for you an altar, for your rebelling to-day against Jehovah?

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 little to us, from which we have not been cleansed till this day — and the plague is in the company of Jehovah,

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

¹⁸that ye turn back to-day from after Jehovah? and it hath been — ye rebel to-day against Jehovah — and to-morrow against all the company of Israel He is wroth.

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

¹⁹`And surely, if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over for you unto the land of the possession of Jehovah, where the tabernacle of Jehovah hath tabernacled, and have possession in our midst; and against Jehovah rebel not, and against us rebel not, by your building for you an altar, besides the altar of Jehovah 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 son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and on all the company of Israel there was wrath? and he alone expired not 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?'

²¹And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, answer and speak with the heads of the thousands of Israel:

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

²²`The God of gods — Jehovah, the God of gods — Jehovah, He is knowing, and Israel, he doth know, if in rebellion, and if in trespass against Jehovah (Thou dost not save us 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! -

²³[we are] building for ourselves an altar to turn back from after Jehovah, and if to cause to go up on it burnt-offering and present, and if to make on it peace-offerings — Jehovah Himself doth 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!

²⁴`And if not, from fear of [this] thing we have done it, saying, Hereafter your sons do speak to ours sons, saying, What to you and to Jehovah 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 a border hath Jehovah put between us and you, O sons of Reuben, and sons of Gad — Jordan; ye have no portion in Jehovah — and your sons have caused our sons to cease, not to fear Jehovah.

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.

²⁶`And we say, Pray let us prepare for ourselves to build the altar — not for burnt-offering nor for sacrifice —

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

²⁷but a witness it [is] between us and you, and between our generations after us, to do the service of Jehovah before Him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings, and your sons do not say hereafter to our sons, Ye have no portion in Jehovah.

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!

²⁸`And we say, And it hath been, when they say [so] unto us, and unto our generations hereafter, that we have said, See the pattern of the altar of Jehovah, which our fathers made — not for burnt-offering nor for sacrifice — but a witness it [is] 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.

²⁹`Far be it from us to rebel against Jehovah, and to turn back to-day from after Jehovah, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for present, and for sacrifice, apart from the altar of Jehovah our God, which [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 Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the company, and the heads of the thousands of Israel, who [are] with him, hear the words which the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh have spoken, and it is good in their eyes.

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 son of Eleazar the priest saith unto the sons of Reuben, and unto the sons of Gad, and unto the sons of Manasseh, `To-day we have known that Jehovah [is] in our midst, because ye have not committed against Jehovah this trespass — then ye have delivered the sons of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.`

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 son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, turn back from the sons of Reuben, and from the sons of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, unto the sons of Israel, and bring them back word;

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 is good in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel bless God, and have not said to go up against them to war, to destroy the land which the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, are dwelling in.

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 sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad proclaim concerning the altar, that `it [is] a witness between us that Jehovah [is] God.`

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