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

¹Siis kutsus Joosua ruubenlased, gaadlased ja Manasse poole suguharu

²and said to them, “You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to 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.

³You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of Yahweh 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.

⁴Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave 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 take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast 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!'

⁶So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.

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

⁷Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, 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 spoke to them, saying, “Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with brass, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.”

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!'

⁹The 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 to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of Yahweh by 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.

¹⁰When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is 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 the Jordan, a great altar to look at.

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

¹¹The children of Israel heard this, “Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to 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.'

¹²When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together 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.

¹³The children of Israel sent to 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, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were everyone of them head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel.

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

¹⁵They came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

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

¹⁶“Thus says the whole congregation of Yahweh, ‘What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Yahweh, in that you have built yourselves an altar, to rebel this day against Yahweh?

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 have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of Yahweh,

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

¹⁸that you must turn away this day from following Yahweh? It will be, since you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow he will be angry 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.

¹⁹However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of Yahweh, in which Yahweh’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but don’t rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than the altar of Yahweh 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!

²⁰Didn’t Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man didn’t perish 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 spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,

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

²²“The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yahweh (don’t 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! -

²³that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Yahweh; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let Yahweh 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!

²⁴“If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, ‘In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, “What have you to do with Yahweh, the 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 Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no portion in Yahweh.”’ So your children might make our children cease from fearing Yahweh.

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“Therefore we said, ‘Let’s now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;

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

²⁷but it will be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of Yahweh before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;’ that your children may not tell our children in time to come, ‘You have no portion in Yahweh.’

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“Therefore we said, ‘It shall be, when they tell us or our generations this in time to come, that we shall say, “Behold the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; 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.

²⁹“Far be it from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and turn away this day from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Yahweh 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!'

³⁰When Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.

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.

³¹Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against Yahweh. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.”

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.'

³²Phinehas 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, to 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.

³³The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad lived.

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.

³⁴The children of Reuben and the children of Gad named the altar “A Witness Between Us that Yahweh is God.”

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