Da Peopo East Side Da Jordan Riva
1 Da Reuben ohana an da Gad ohana get plenny cows, sheeps, an goats. Dey see dat da Jazer an Gilead land stay one good place fo put da animals. 2 So dey come by Moses an Eleazar da pries guy, an da leadas fo da peopo, an tell, 3 “You know da towns, Atarot, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, an Beon? 4 Dass da land Da One In Charge take ova in front all da Israel peopo. An dat land stay good fo cows an sheeps an goats. Us guys get cows an sheeps an goats. 5 If you tink us guys good fo get dat land, den let us, yoa worka guys, get da land fo come oua property. No make us guys go da odda side a da Jordan Riva.”
6 Moses tell da Gad peopo an da Reuben peopo, “You tink ony yoa braddah guys gotta go ova dea fo do all da fighting, an you guys jus stay sit ova hea, o wat?! 7 How come you like make da odda Israel peopo lose fight, fo dem no like go inside da land Da One In Charge wen give dem?! 8 ✡Dass da same ting yoa faddah guys wen do, da time I sen dem from Kadesh-Barnea fo scope out da land. 9 Afta dey go up by da Eshkol Valley an scope out da land, dey come back an make da Israel peopo lose fight an no like go inside da land Da One In Charge wen give um. 10 ✡Da One In Charge come real mad dat time, an he make dis strong promise fo erybody know dat he goin do um: 11 ‘Dese peopo no go all out fo stay tight wit me! Cuz a dat, from da men guys twenny year ol an mo dat come outa Egypt, dey no goin see da land dat I wen make one strong promise fo give to Abraham, Isaac, an Jacob! 12 But ony Caleb, his faddah Jefunneh da Keniz guy, an Nun boy Joshua, can go inside da land, cuz dey wen go all out fo stay tight wit me, Da One In Charge!’
13 “Dat time, Da One In Charge come real mad wit da Israel peopo. He make dem stay go aroun inside da boonies fo forty year, till all da peopo mahke dat he see wen do bad kine stuff.
14 “So hea you guys stay now, braddahs dat do bad kine stuff. You stay ack hea jalike yoa faddah guys wen ack. You guys goin make Da One In Charge come even mo mad still yet wit you Israel peopo! 15 So if you guys tell laytas an no stay tight wit Da One In Charge, he goin make all dis peopo stay inside da boonies one mo time, an you guys goin get da blame fo wipe out all dem!”
16 Den da Reuben an Gad guys go by Moses an tell, “Us guys like build pens ova hea fo oua animals, an build towns fo oua wahines an kids. 17 But us guys stay ready fo fight! We goin go across da Jordan Riva firs, befo da odda Israel peopo go dea. An we goin stay till we bring um to dea places. Wen we do dat, oua wahines an kids can live dis side inside towns dat get strong wall, so da odda peopo inside da land no goin hurt dem. 18 We no goin go back oua places, till all da odda Israel peopo get da property Da One In Charge stay give all dem. 19 An us guys no goin get oua property wit dem da odda side a da Jordan Riva. Cuz we get oua property ova hea, da east side a da Riva.”
20 Den Moses tell dem, “Kay den. If you guys goin make lidat, an stay ready fo fight in front Da One In Charge, 21 an if all you guys goin go in front Da One In Charge, da odda side a da Jordan Riva, an if you take da tings you use fo fight, till he take away da land from da peopo dat stay agains him— 22 Den if dass how you guys make, den wen you guys win ova da odda peopos in front Da One In Charge, you guys no need stay da odda side no moa. You can come back dis side. Da One In Charge an da Israel peopo goin let you guys go. Den dis land ova hea goin stay you guys property in front Da One In Charge.
23 “But if you guys no do dat, den you guys goin do one bad ting agains Da One In Charge, an fo shua, da bad ting you do, goin catch you bumbye! 24 Build strong towns fo yoa wahines an kids, an pens fo yoa sheeps an goats. But do all da stuff you guys wen promise fo do.”
25 Da Gad guys an Reuben guys tell Moses, “You oua boss, an us work fo you. We goin do wat you tell us fo do. 26 Oua kids an wifes, oua sheeps, goats, an cows, all goin stay ova hea inside da Gilead towns. 27 But all us guys dat work fo you, we ready fo fight, an go da odda side fo fight in front Da One In Charge, jalike you, oua boss, tell us fo do.”
28 ✡Den Moses tell Eleazar da pries guy bout dem, an Joshua, Nun boy, an da leadas fo da main Israel ohanas. 29 He tell dem, “If da Gad guys an da Reuben guys go wit dea stuff fo fight da odda side a da Jordan Riva wit you guys in front Da One In Charge, den wen you guys win ova da odda peopos, give dem da Gilead land fo dea property. 30 But if dey no go ova dea wit you guys, all ready fo fight, dey no goin get land dis side. Dey gotta take da land dat stay da odda side jalike you guys inside Canaan.”
31 Da Gad guys an da Reuben guys tell, “Us yoa worka guys, an we goin do wat Da One In Charge tell us fo do. 32 Us guys goin go da odda side in front Da One In Charge wit stuff ready fo fight, inside Canaan. But da property we goin get stay dis side a da Jordan Riva.”
33 Den Moses give da Gad peopo, da Reuben peopo, an half da peopo dat come from Joseph boy Manasseh, dea land. Dass all da land dey take away from Sihon, da Amor king, an from Og, da Bashan king, wit da towns an da land aroun um.
34 Da Gad peopo wen build up one mo time da towns Dibon, Atarot, Aroer, 35 Atrot, Shofan, Jazer, Jogbehah, 36 Bet-Nimrah, an Bet-Haran. Dose towns get strong wall, an da Gad peopo make pens ova dea fo dea sheeps an goats. 37 Da Reuben peopo, dey build up one mo time da towns Heshbon, Elealeh, an Kiriataim, 38 an Nebo, Baal Meon (but dey change some a da names), an Sibmah. Dey give names to da big towns dey build up one mo time.
39 Da guys dat come from Makir, Manasseh boy, dey wen go Gilead side, an take ova da land, an kick out da Amor peopo dat stay dea. 40 So Moses give Gilead to da Makir ohana, from Manasseh, an laytas dey stay ova dea. 41 Jair, he come from da Manasseh ohana too. He take ova dea small towns, an call um da Jair Tent Villages. 42 An Nobah take ova Kenat an da small towns aroun dea, an call um Nobah, by his name.
