¹[Ny nahazoan'ny firenen'i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen'i Manase zara-tany tao an-dafy atsinanan'i Jordana] Ary nanana omby aman'ondry be indrindra ny taranak'i Robena sy ny taranak'i Gada; ary rehefa nahita ny tany Jazera sy ny tany Gileada izy, fa tany tsara ho fiandrasana omby aman'ondry io,

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

²dia avy ny taranak'i Gada sy ny taranak'i Robena ka niteny tamin'i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona sy tamin'ny lohan'ny fiangonana ka nanao hoe:

²the 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,

³Atarota sy Dibona sy Jazera sy Nimra sy Hesbona sy Elale sy Sebama sy Nebo ary Beona,

³“Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

⁴ireo tany noresen'i Jehovah teo anoloan'ny fiangonan'ny Isiraely, dia tany tsara ho fiandrasana omby aman'ondry, ary ny mpanomponao manana omby aman'ondry;

⁴the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”

⁵dia hoy koa izy: Raha mahita fitia eo imasonao izahay; aoka homena anay mpanomponao ho zara-taninay io tany io; fa aza ampitaina an'i Jordana izahay.

⁵They 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.”

⁶Dia hoy Mosesy tamin'ny taranak'i Gada sy ny taranak'i Robena: Ny rahalahinareo handeha hanafika, ka ianareo kosa hijanona eto va?

⁶Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here?

⁷Nahoana ianareo no mampiketraka ny fon'ny Zanak'Isiraely, mba tsy handehanany ho any amin'ny tany izay nomen'i Jehovah azy?

⁷Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them?

⁸Izany no nataon'ny rainareo, fony nirahiko avy tao Kadesi-barnea hisafo ny tany izy;

⁸Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.

⁹fa raha niakatra hatrany an-dohasaha Eskola izy ka nahita ny tany, dia nampiketraka ny fon'ny Zanak'Isiraely izy, mba tsy handehanany ho any amin'ny tany izay efa nomen'i Jehovah azy.

⁹For 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.

¹⁰Ary nirehitra ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah tamin'izay andro izay, dia nianiana Izy ka nanao hoe:

¹⁰Yahweh’s anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying,

¹¹Ny olona izay niakatra avy tany Egypta, hatramin'ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, dia tsy hisy hahita ny tany izay efa nianianako tamin'i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba homena azy, satria tsy tanteraka tamin'ny fanarahana Ahy izy;

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:

¹²afa-tsy Kaleba, zanak'i Jefone Kenizita, sy Josoa, zanak'i Nona, izay tanteraka tamin'ny fanarahana an'i Jehovah.

¹²except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed Yahweh completely.’

¹³Dia nirehitra tamin'ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah, ka nampirenireny azy tany an-efitra efa-polo taona Izy mandra-pahalany ritra ny taranaka rehetra izay nanao ratsy teo imason'i Jehovah.

¹³Yahweh’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of Yahweh, was consumed.

¹⁴Ary, indreto, ianareo mitsangana hisolo ny rainareo, ho taranaka mbola mpanota, hampitombo ny firehetan'ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah amin'ny Isiraely.

¹⁴“Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel.

¹⁵Fa raha miala amin'ny fanarahana Azy ianareo dia hamela azy any an-efitra Indray Izy; ka dia ianareo no handringana izao olona rehetra izao.

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

¹⁶Ary dia nanatona azy izy ireo ka nanao hoe: Hanao vala eto izahay ho an'ny omby aman'ondrinay sy tanàna koa ho an'ny zanakay madinika;

¹⁶They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones:

¹⁷fa ny tenanay dia hiomana faingana handroso eo alohan'ny Zanak'Isiraely mandra-pitondranay azy ho any amin'ny taniny; ary ny zanakay madinika dia hitoetra amin'ny tanàna mimanda noho ny mponina amin'ny tany.

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

¹⁸Tsy hody any an-tranonay izahay, mandra-pahazon'ny Zanak'Isiraely ny zara-taniny avy.

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

¹⁹Fa tsy hiara-mandray zara-tany aminy izahay hatrany an-dafin'i Jordana no ho miankandrefana, satria efa azonay atỳ an-dafy atsinanan'i Jordana atỳ ny zara-taninay.

¹⁹For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.”

²⁰Dia hoy Mosesy taminy: Raha hanao izany zavatra izany ianareo ka hiomana eo anatrehan'i Jehovah ho any an-tafika,

²⁰Moses said to them, “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war,

²¹ary rehefa samy efa voaomana hiady, dia hita ho any an-dafin'i Jordana eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, mandra-pandroakany ny fahavalony hiala eo anoloany,

²¹and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,

²²ka ho resy eo anatrehan'i Jehovah ny tany; ary rehefa vita izany, dia hody ianareo ka tsy hanan-tsiny, na amin'i Jehovah, na amin'ny Isiraely; ary ity tany ity ho zara-taninareo eo anatrehan'i Jehovah.

²²and the land is subdued before Yahweh; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards Yahweh, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before Yahweh.

²³Fa raha tsy hanao izany kosa ianareo, dia manota amin'i Jehovah; ary aoka ho fantatrareo fa hanody anareo ny fahotanareo.

²³“But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh; and be sure your sin will find you out.

²⁴Manaova tanàna ho an'ny zanakareo madinika sy vala ho an'ny ondry aman'osinareo, ka ataovy izay naloaky ny vavanareo.

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

²⁵Dia niteny tamin'i Mosesy ny taranak'i Gada sy ny taranak'i Robena ka nanao hoe: Ny mpanomponao dia hanao araka izay andidianao, tompoko:

²⁵The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands.

²⁶ny zanakay madinika sy ny vadinay sy ny ondry aman'osinay ary ny biby fiompinay rehetra dia hitoetra ato amin'ny tanànan'i Gileada;

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

²⁷fa ny mpanomponao handeha hita, samy efa voaomana hiady eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, ho any an-tafika, araka izay nolazainao, tompoko.

²⁷but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, as my lord says.”

²⁸Ary Mosesy dia nandidy an'i Eleazara mpisorona sy Josoa, zanak'i Nona, ary ny lohan'ny fianakaviana tamin'ny firenen'ny Zanak'Isiraely ny amin'ireo

²⁸So 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.

²⁹ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha handeha hita an'i Jordana hiaraka aminareo ny taranak'i Gada sy ny taranak'i Robena, samy efa voaomana hiady eo anatrehan'i Jehovah, ka ho resy ny tany eo anoloanareo, dia homenareo azy ny tany Gileada ho zara-taniny;

²⁹Moses 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 shall be subdued before you; then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

³⁰fa raha tsy mandeha samy efa voaomana hiady miaraka aminareo Izy, dia eo aminareo amin'ny tany Kanana ihany no hahazoany zara-tany.

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

³¹Dia namaly ny taranak'i Gada sy ny taranak'i Robena ka nanao hoe: Araka izay nolazain'i Jehovah tamin'ny mpanomponao no hataonay:

³¹The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As Yahweh has said to your servants, so will we do.

³²Izabay handeha hita eo anatrehan'i Jehovah ho any amin'ny tany Kanana samy efa voaomana hiady, kanefa etỳ an-dafin'i Jordana etỳ ihany no hahazoanay zara-tany.

³²We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”

³³Dia nomen'i Mosesy ho an'ny taranak'i Gada sy ny taranak'i Robena ary ny an-tsasaky ny firenen'i Manase, zanak'i Josefa, ny fanjakan'i Sihona, mpanjakan'ny Amorka, sy ny fanjakan'i Oga, mpanjakan'i Basana dia ny tany mbamin'ny tanànany ao amin'ny fari-tany, dia ny tanàna eny amin'ny tany manodidina.

³³Moses 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.

³⁴Ary ny taranak'i Gada nanao an'i Dibona sy Atarota sy Aroera

³⁴The children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

³⁵sy Atrota-sofana sy Jazera ary Jogbeha

³⁵and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,

³⁶sy Beti-nimra sy Beti-harana, tanàna mimanda, ary vala ho an'ny ondry.

³⁶and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep.

³⁷Ary ny taranak'i Robena nanao an'i Hesbona sy Elale sy Kiriataima

³⁷The children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,

³⁸sy Nebo sy Bala-meona (nefa novana ny anaran'ireo) ary Sibma; ary nasiany anarana vaovao ny tanàna izay nataony.

³⁸and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built.

³⁹Ary ny taranak'i Makira, zanak'i Manase, nankany Gileada ka nahafaka azy, dia nandroaka ny Amorita izay nonina teo.

³⁹The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein.

⁴⁰Ary Gileada dia nomen'i Mosesy an'i Makira, zanak'i Manase, ka nonina tao izy.

⁴⁰Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein.

⁴¹Ary Jaira, zanak'i Manase, nandeha ka nahafaka ny tanàna madinika teo, ary ny anarany nataony hoe Havota-jaira.Ary Noba nandeha ka nahafaka an'i Kenata sy ny zana-bohiny, dia nataony hoe Noba, araka ny anarany izy.

⁴¹Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns, and called them Havvoth Jair.

⁴²Ary Noba nandeha ka nahafaka an'i Kenata sy ny zana-bohiny, dia nataony hoe Noba, araka ny anarany izy.

⁴²Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
