Reerihii Bari Oo Ku Noqdeen Meeshoodii

22 Markaasaa Yashuuca u yeedhay reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo reer Manaseh badhkiis, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waad xajiseen kulli wixii uu addoonkii Rabbiga oo Muuse ahaa idinku amray, oo codkaygana waad dhegaysateen oo waad yeesheen kulli wixii aan idinku amray. Oo waagaas ilaa maantadan la joogo walaalihiin kama aydnaan tegin, laakiinse waad xajiseen amarkii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah. Oo haatan Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu walaalihiin buu nasiyey, siduu markii hore kula hadlay; haddaba noqda, oo taga teendhooyinkiinnii, iyo dalkii hantida idiin ahaa, oo addoonkii Rabbiga oo Muuse ahaa idinka siiyey Webi Urdun shishadiisa. Laakiinse aad iyo aad u dadaala inaad yeeshaan amarkii iyo sharcigii uu addoonkii Rabbiga ee Muuse ahaa idinku amray, kuwaasoo ah inaad Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah jeclaataan, oo aad ku socotaan jidadkiisa oo dhan, oo aad amarradiisa xajisaan, oo aad isaga aad u sii xajisataan, oo aad qalbigiinna oo dhan iyo naftiinna oo dhan ugu adeegtaan. Markaasuu Yashuuca u duceeyey oo iska diray, oo iyana waxay tageen teendhooyinkoodii.

Oo reer Manaseh badhkiis Muuse wuxuu dhaxal ka siiyey Baashaan dhexdeeda; laakiinse badhkii kale Yashuuca ayaa dal ka siiyey walaalahood dhexdooda meel Webi Urdun ka shishaysa oo xagga galbeed ka xigta. Oo weliba Yashuuca markuu iyagii iska diray, oo ay teendhooyinkoodii tageen, ayuu u duceeyey iyaga, oo intuu la hadlay ayuu ku yidhi, Teendhooyinkiinnii kula noqda maal badan, iyo lo' aad u tiro badan, iyo lacag, iyo dahab, iyo naxaas, iyo bir, iyo dhar aad u badan; oo boolidii cadaawayaashiinna laga helay walaalihiin la qaybsada.

Markaasaa reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo reer Manaseh badhkiis ayaa noqday, oo ka tegey reer binu Israa'iil oo joogay Shiiloh taasoo ku taal dalkii Kancaan, inay u kacaan dalkii Gilecaad, kaasoo ahaa dalkii hantidooda ahaa, ee ay ku hantiyeen amarkii Rabbigu Muuse u soo dhiibay. 10 Oo markay yimaadeen gobolkii u dhowaa Webi Urdun oo ku yaalay dalkii Kancaan ayay reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo reer Manaseh badhkiis Webi Urdun agtiisa ka dhiseen meel allabari oo muuq weyn. 11 Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil waxay maqleen in la yidhi, Reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo reer Manaseh badhkiis ayaa meel allabari ka dhisay darafka dalka Kancaan, meeshaas oo ah gobolka u dhow Webi Urdun oo ah dinaca ay leeyihiin reer binu Israa'iil. 12 Oo markii reer binu Israa'iil ay taas maqleen ayaa shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu ku ururay Shiiloh inay dagaal ugu baxaan iyaga.

13 Oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay xagga reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo reer Manaseh badhkiis oo joogay dalkii Gilecaad u direen Fiinexaas oo ahaa wiilkii wadaadkii ahaa Elecaasaar. 14 Oo waxay isagii ku dareen toban amiir, oo amiirba wuxuu ka socday qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil midkood, oo mid waluba wuxuu ahaa kii madaxda u ahaa reerahooda ku jira kumanyaalka reer binu Israa'iil. 15 Markaasay u yimaadeen reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo reer Manaseh badhkiis oo joogay dalkii Gilecaad, oo intay la hadleen ayay ku yidhaahdeen, 16 Shirkii Rabbiga oo dhammu sidan bay leeyihiin, Waa maxay xadgudubkan aad ku samayseen Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, idinkoo ka leexday inaad Rabbiga la socotaan, oo meel allabari dhistay, si aad maanta Rabbiga ugu caasiyowdaan? 17 Miyuu nagu yar yahay dembigii Fecoor oo aannan iska nadiifin ilaa maantadan la joogo in kastoo ay belaayo ku soo degtay shirka Rabbiga, 18 inaad maanta ka leexataan inaad Rabbiga la socotaan? Oo caasinimadii aad maanta Rabbiga ku caasiyowdeen aawadeed ayuu berrito ugu cadhoon doonaa shirka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. 19 Habase yeeshee, haddii dalkii hantidiinna ahaa aanu nadiif ahayn, de markaas u soo gudba dalka Rabbiga hantidiisa ah, oo uu taambuuggii Rabbigu ku dhex jiro, oo nala qayb qaata; laakiinse Rabbiga ha ku caasiyoobina, oo annagana ha nagu caasiyoobina, oo ha dhisina meel allabari oo aan ahayn tii Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah. 20 Caakaan ina Serax miyaanu ku xadgudbin alaabtii la nidray, oo taas daraaddeed miyaan cadho ugu dhicin shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan? Oo ninkaasu keligiis kuma uu dhiman dembigiisii.

21 Markaasaa reer Ruubeen iyo reer Gaad iyo reer Manaseh badhkiis waxay u jawaabeen oo la hadleen kuwii madaxda u ahaa kumanyaalka reer binu Israa'iil, oo ku yidhaahdeen, 22 Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ilaahyada, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ilaahyadu wuu og yahay, oo reer binu Israa'iilna waa inuu ogaadaa, haddii taasu caasinimo tahay, ama xadgudub Rabbiga ka gees ah (maanta ha na badbaadin), 23 iyo haddii aan meel allabari u dhisannay inaannu Rabbiga kaga leexanno, ama haddii aannu u dhisnay in lagu dul bixiyo qurbaan la gubo, ama qurbaan hadhuudh ah, ama in lagu dul bixiyo allabari ah qurbaanno nabaadiino, sidaas hadday tahay, Rabbiga qudhiisu ha na weyddiiyo; 24 oo haddii aannan taas u samaynin feejignaan iyo sabab aawadood, annagoo leh, Waa dambe carruurtiinnu waxay la hadli doonaan carruurtayada, oo waxay ku odhan doonaan, Maxaa idinka galay Rabbiga Ilaaha u ah reer binu Israa'iil? 25 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu Webi Urdun ka dhigay soohdin inoo dhexaysa annaga iyo idinka, reer Ruubeen iyo reer Gaadow. Qayb kuma lihidin Rabbiga. Oo sidaasay carruurtiinnu carruurtayada uga joojin doonaan cabsida Rabbiga. 26 Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaannu isnidhi, Haddaba aynu isu diyaarinno inaynu dhisanno meel allabari, oo aan lagu bixin qurbaan la gubo ama allabari, 27 laakiinse waxay noqon doontaa markhaati inoo dhexeeya annaga iyo idinka, iyo farcankeenna inaga dambeeya, si aannu Rabbiga hortiisa ugu adeegno annagoo wadna qurbaannadayada la gubo, iyo allabaryadayada, iyo qurbaannadayada nabaadiinada, inaan carruurtiinnu waa dambe ku odhan carruurtayada, Qayb kuma lihidin Rabbiga. 28 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaannu isnidhi, Markay sidaas waa dambe inagu yidhaahdaan innaga ama farcankeenna, waxay noqon doontaa oo aannu ku odhan doonnaa, Bal eega, hannaankii meeshii allabariga oo Rabbiga, ee ay awowayaasheen dhiseen oo aan lagu bixin qurbaanno la gubo ama allabari, laakiinse waa markhaati inoo dhexeeya annaga iyo idinka. 29 Ilaah ha naga fogeeyo inaannu Rabbiga ku caasiyowno, oo aannu ka leexanno lasocodkii Rabbiga, oo aannu meel allabari u dhisno qurbaan la gubo, iyo qurbaan hadhuudh ah, ama allabari, taasoo aan ahayn meeshii allabariga Rabbiga Ilaaheen ah ee ku hor taal taambuuggiisa.

30 Oo wadaadkii Fiinexaas ahaa iyo amiirradii shirka, oo ahaa madaxdii kumanyaalka reer binu Israa'iil oo isaga la socday, kolkay maqleen warkii ay reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Gaad, iyo reer Manaseh badhkiis ku hadleen ayay aad ugu farxeen. 31 Markaasaa wadaadkii ahaa Fiinexaas ina Elecaasaar wuxuu ku yidhi reer Ruubeen iyo reer Gaad iyo reer Manaseh, Maanta waannu og nahay in Rabbigu ina dhex joogo, maxaa yeelay, idinku xadgudubkan kuma aydnaan samayn Rabbiga. Haddaba idinku waxaad reer binu Israa'iil ka samatabbixiseen gacantii Rabbiga. 32 Markaasaa wadaadkii ahaa Fiinexaas ina Elecaasaar, iyo amiirradii waxay ka noqdeen reer Ruubeen iyo reer Gaad oo joogay dalkii Gilecaad, oo waxay tageen dalkii reer Kancaan, oo reer binu Israa'iil ayay warkii u sheegeen. 33 Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waa ku farxeen warkaas. Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil Ilaah ammaaneen, oo mar dambena kuma ay hadlin inay dagaal ugu kacaan, oo ay baabbi'iyaan dalka ay reer Ruubeen iyo reer Gaad deggan yihiin. 34 Markaasaa reer Ruubeen iyo reer Gaad waxay meeshii allabariga u bixiyeen Markhaati; waayo, waxay yidhaahdeen, Waa markhaati na dhex yaal in Rabbigu Ilaah yahay.

Eastern Tribes Return Home

22 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh and said to them, “You have done all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded,(A) and you have obeyed me in everything I commanded. For a long time now—to this very day—you have not deserted your fellow Israelites but have carried out the mission the Lord your God gave you. Now that the Lord your God has given them rest(B) as he promised, return to your homes(C) in the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.(D) But be very careful to keep the commandment(E) and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you: to love the Lord(F) your God, to walk in obedience to him, to keep his commands,(G) to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.(H)

Then Joshua blessed(I) them and sent them away, and they went to their homes. (To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan,(J) and to the other half of the tribe Joshua gave land on the west side(K) of the Jordan along with their fellow Israelites.) When Joshua sent them home, he blessed them,(L) saying, “Return to your homes with your great wealth—with large herds of livestock,(M) with silver, gold, bronze and iron,(N) and a great quantity of clothing—and divide(O) the plunder(P) from your enemies with your fellow Israelites.”

So the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh(Q) in Canaan to return to Gilead,(R) their own land, which they had acquired in accordance with the command of the Lord through Moses.

10 When they came to Geliloth(S) near the Jordan in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an imposing altar(T) there by the Jordan. 11 And when the Israelites heard that they had built the altar on the border of Canaan at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side, 12 the whole assembly of Israel gathered at Shiloh(U) to go to war against them.

13 So the Israelites sent Phinehas(V) son of Eleazar,(W) the priest, to the land of Gilead—to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. 14 With him they sent ten of the chief men, one from each of the tribes of Israel, each the head of a family division among the Israelite clans.(X)

15 When they went to Gilead—to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh—they said to them: 16 “The whole assembly of the Lord says: ‘How could you break faith(Y) with the God of Israel like this? How could you turn away from the Lord and build yourselves an altar in rebellion(Z) against him now? 17 Was not the sin of Peor(AA) enough for us? Up to this very day we have not cleansed ourselves from that sin, even though a plague fell on the community of the Lord! 18 And are you now turning away from the Lord?

“‘If you rebel against the Lord today, tomorrow he will be angry with the whole community(AB) of Israel. 19 If the land you possess is defiled, come over to the Lord’s land, where the Lord’s tabernacle(AC) stands, and share the land with us. But do not rebel against the Lord or against us by building an altar(AD) for yourselves, other than the altar of the Lord our God. 20 When Achan son of Zerah was unfaithful in regard to the devoted things,[a](AE) did not wrath(AF) come on the whole community(AG) of Israel? He was not the only one who died for his sin.’”(AH)

21 Then Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh replied to the heads of the clans of Israel: 22 “The Mighty One, God, the Lord! The Mighty One, God,(AI) the Lord!(AJ) He knows!(AK) And let Israel know! If this has been in rebellion or disobedience to the Lord, do not spare us this day. 23 If we have built our own altar to turn away from the Lord and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings,(AL) or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it, may the Lord himself call us to account.(AM)

24 “No! We did it for fear that some day your descendants might say to ours, ‘What do you have to do with the Lord, the God of Israel? 25 The Lord has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you—you Reubenites and Gadites! You have no share in the Lord.’ So your descendants might cause ours to stop fearing the Lord.

26 “That is why we said, ‘Let us get ready and build an altar—but not for burnt offerings or sacrifices.’ 27 On the contrary, it is to be a witness(AN) between us and you and the generations that follow, that we will worship the Lord at his sanctuary with our burnt offerings, sacrifices and fellowship offerings.(AO) Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to ours, ‘You have no share in the Lord.’

28 “And we said, ‘If they ever say this to us, or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the Lord’s altar, which our ancestors built, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices, but as a witness(AP) between us and you.’

29 “Far be it from us to rebel(AQ) against the Lord and turn away from him today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings and sacrifices, other than the altar of the Lord our God that stands before his tabernacle.(AR)

30 When Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the community—the heads of the clans of the Israelites—heard what Reuben, Gad and Manasseh had to say, they were pleased. 31 And Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, said to Reuben, Gad and Manasseh, “Today we know that the Lord is with us,(AS) because you have not been unfaithful to the Lord in this matter. Now you have rescued the Israelites from the Lord’s hand.”

32 Then Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, and the leaders returned to Canaan from their meeting with the Reubenites and Gadites in Gilead and reported to the Israelites.(AT) 33 They were glad to hear the report and praised God.(AU) And they talked no more about going to war against them to devastate the country where the Reubenites and the Gadites lived.

34 And the Reubenites and the Gadites gave the altar this name: A Witness(AV) Between Us—that the Lord is God.
