Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Nagbalik sa Ila Lugar ang mga Tribo sang Israel sa Sidlangan
22 Karon, gintipon ni Josue ang mga katawhan sang tribo ni Reuben, ni Gad, kag sang katunga sang tribo ni Manase. 2 Nagsiling si Josue sa ila, “Ginhimo ninyo ang tanan nga ginsugo sa inyo ni Moises nga alagad sang Ginoo kag gintuman man ninyo ang tanan ko nga ginsugo. 3 Hasta subong wala ninyo pagpabay-i ang inyo kapareho nga mga Israelinhon. Kag gintuman ninyo sing maayo ang tanan nga ginsugo sa inyo sang Ginoo nga inyo Dios. 4 Kag karon, nabaton na sang inyo kapareho nga mga Israelinhon ang kapahuwayan nga ginpromisa sa ila sang Ginoo nga inyo Dios. Gani magpauli na kamo sa inyo mga lugar sa pihak sang Suba sang Jordan, sa duta nga ginhatag sa inyo ni Moises nga alagad sang Ginoo. 5 Pero indi gid ninyo pagkalimtan nga tumanon ang mga sugo kag mga pagpanudlo nga ginhatag sa inyo ni Moises nga alagad sang Ginoo. Higugmaa ninyo ang Ginoo nga inyo Dios, magkabuhi kamo sa iya mga pamaagi, tumana ang iya mga sugo, magmatutom sa iya, kag alagara siya sa bug-os ninyo nga tagipusuon kag kalag.” 6 Ginbendisyunan dayon sila ni Josue kag ginpapauli. 7 (Ang katunga sang tribo ni Manase ginhatagan ni Moises sang duta sa Bashan, kag ang katunga pa gid nga tribo ginhatagan ni Josue sang duta sa nakatundan Suba sang Jordan upod sang iban nga mga tribo.)
Sang manugpauli na sila, ginbendisyunan sila ni Josue 8 nga nagasiling, “Magpauli kamo nga dala ang inyo madamo nga mga manggad—mga kasapatan, pilak, bulawan, saway, salsalon kag mga bayo. Partihi ninyo ang inyo mga paryente sa inyo lugar sang bisan ano nga inyo naagaw sa inyo mga kaaway.” 9 Kag dayon nagpauli ang mga katawhan sang tribo ni Reuben, ni Gad, kag sang katunga sang tribo ni Manase. Ginbayaan nila ang ila kapareho nga mga Israelinhon sa Shilo, sa duta sang Canaan, kag nagbalik sa Gilead, ang duta nga nangin parte nila suno sa ginsugo sang Ginoo paagi kay Moises.
10 Pag-abot nila sa Gelilot, malapit sa Suba sang Jordan, nagpatindog sila didto sang dako nga halaran. Ini nga lugar sakop gihapon sang Canaan. 11-12 Karon, nabalitaan sang iban nga mga Israelinhon nga nagpatindog ang tribo ni Reuben, Gad, kag katunga sang tribo ni Manase sang halaran sa dulunan sang Canaan sa Gelilot, malapit sa Suba sang Jordan. Gani nagtipon sila sa Shilo sa pagpakig-away kontra sa ila. 13 Ginsugo sang mga Israelinhon si Finehas nga anak ni Eleazar nga pari nga magkadto sa Gilead, sa tribo ni Reuben, ni Gad kag sang katunga sang tribo ni Manase. 14 May upod siya nga napulo ka pangulo halin sa kada tribo sang Israel. Kada isa sa ila pangulo sang mga pamilya sang ila mga tribo. 15 Pag-abot nila sa Gilead, nagsiling sila sa tribo ni Reuben, ni Gad, kag sa katunga sang tribo ni Manase, 16 “Gusto mahibaluan sang bug-os nga katilingban sang Ginoo kon ngaa nagtraidor kamo sa Dios sang Israel. Nagrebelde kamo sa Ginoo sa inyo pagpatindog sang halaran para sa inyo kaugalingon. Wala na kamo nagasunod sa iya. 17 Wala pa bala kita makatuon sa aton sala didto sa Peor? Tungod sadto ginpadal-an kita sang Ginoo sang kalalat-an, kag nagaantos pa gani kita hasta subong. 18 Kag karon nangahas pa kamo nga magtalikod sa Ginoo. Kon magrebelde gani kamo sa iya subong nga adlaw, buwas maakig gid siya sa bug-os nga katilingban sang Israel. 19 Gani, kon kinahanglan ninyo ang halaran tungod ang inyo duta ginakabig nga mahigko, tabok kamo didto sa amon, sa duta sang Ginoo nga sa diin ara ang Tolda nga ginasimbahan sa iya, kag didto na kamo mag-estar. Pero indi lang kamo magpatindog sang iban nga halaran luwas sa halaran sang Ginoo nga aton Dios, tungod kay ina isa ka pagrebelde sa iya kag sa amon. 20 Nalimtan na bala ninyo si Acan nga anak ni Zera? Sang ginlapas niya ang sugo parte sa mga butang nga ginhalad sing bug-os sa Ginoo, ginsilutan siya kag ang bug-os nga katilingban sang Israel. Indi lang siya ang napatay tungod sa iya sala.”
21 Nagsabat ang mga tribo ni Reuben, ni Gad, kag sang katunga sang tribo ni Manase sa sadto nga mga pangulo: 22 “Ang Ginoo amo ang Makagagahom nga Dios! Ang Ginoo amo ang Makagagahom nga Dios! Nakahibalo siya kon ngaa ginhimo namon ini, kag dapat man ninyo mahibaluan. Kon nagrebelde gid man kami ukon naglapas sa Ginoo, pamatya ninyo kami sa sini nga adlaw. 23 Kon ginlapas namon ang Ginoo paagi sa pagpatindog sang amon kaugalingon nga halaran para sa mga halad nga ginasunog, mga halad nga regalo, ukon mga halad nga para sa maayo nga relasyon, kabay pa nga ang Ginoo mismo ang magsilot sa amon.
24 “Ginhimo namon ini tungod nahadlok kami kay basi pa kon sa ulihi nga panahon ang inyo mga kaliwat magsiling sa amon mga kaliwat, ‘Ano ang labot ninyo sa Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel? 25 Ginhimo sang Ginoo nga dulunan ang Suba sang Jordan sa pagseparar sa inyo kag sa amon. Kamo nga mga tribo ni Reuben kag ni Gad, wala gid kamo sing labot sa Ginoo.’ Basi kon amo ina ang ila nga isiling kag mapauntat nila ang amon mga kaliwat sa pagsimba sa Ginoo. 26 Gani ginpatindog namon ang halaran, indi para sa mga halad nga ginasunog kag sa iban pa nga mga halad, 27 kundi bilang padumdom sa amon, sa inyo, kag para sa aton mga kaliwat nga ginasimba namon ang Ginoo paagi sa mga halad nga ginasunog, mga halad nga para sa maayo nga relasyon, kag iban pa nga mga halad didto sa iya Tolda.[a] Gani sa ulihi indi makasiling ang inyo mga kaliwat sa amon mga kaliwat nga ini sila wala sing labot sa Ginoo. 28 Kag kon matabo gid man nga hambalan nila ang amon mga kaliwat sang pareho sina, makasiling sila, ‘Tan-awa! Nagpatindog ang amon mga katigulangan sang halaran nga pareho sang halaran sang Ginoo, indi para sa mga halad nga ginasunog kag sa iban pa nga mga halad, kundi bilang padumdom sa amon kag sa inyo nga isa lang ka Dios ang aton ginasimba.’
29 “Indi namon mahimo nga magrebelde ukon magtalikod sa Ginoo paagi sa pagpatindog sang amon kaugalingon nga halaran para sa mga halad nga ginasunog, mga halad nga regalo, kag sa iban pa nga mga halad. Indi namon pag-ibaylo ang halaran sang Ginoo nga aton Dios nga ara sa atubangan sang iya Tolda.”
30 Nalipay si Finehas nga pari kag ang mga pangulo sang mga pamilya sang katilingban sang Israel sang nabatian nila ang ginsiling sang mga tribo ni Reuben, ni Gad, kag sang katunga sang tribo ni Manase. 31 Gani nagsiling si Finehas nga anak ni Eleazar nga pari, “Nahibaluan naton karon nga kaupod naton ang Ginoo kay wala kamo nagrebelde sa iya. Ginluwas ninyo ang Israel sa silot sang Ginoo.”
32 Dayon nagpauli sa Canaan si Finehas kag ang mga pangulo kag ginsugid nila sa mga Israelinhon ang ila pagsugilanon sa mga tribo ni Reuben kag ni Gad didto sa Gilead. 33 Pagkabati nila sini, nalipay sila kag nagdayaw sa Dios. Kag wala na sila naghambal parte sa pagsalakay sa kadutaan nga ginaestaran sang mga tribo ni Reuben kag ni Gad.
34 Gin-ngalanan sang mga tribo ni Reuben kag ni Gad ang halaran nga “Padumdom,” kay siling nila, “Padumdom ini para sa aton tanan nga ang Ginoo Dios naton.”

Eastern Tribes Return Home
22 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh 2 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. 3 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. 4 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) 5 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)”
6 Then Joshua blessed(I) them and sent them away, and they went to their homes. 7 (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) 8 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.”
9 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.

22 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
2 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:
3 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the Lord your God.
4 And now the Lord your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side Jordan.
5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.
7 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,
8 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches 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.
9 And the 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 unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
10 And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are 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 Jordan, a great altar to see to.
11 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.
12 And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
13 And the children of Israel sent unto 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,
14 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.
15 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,
16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the Lord, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the Lord?
17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord,
18 But that ye must turn away this day from following the Lord? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the Lord, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lord's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the Lord, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the Lord our God.
20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,
22 The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the Lord, (save us not this day,)
23 That we have built us an altar to turn from following the Lord, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the Lord himself require it;
24 And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the Lord God of Israel?
25 For the Lord hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the Lord: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the Lord.
26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
27 But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the Lord before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the Lord.
28 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.
29 God forbid that we should rebel against the Lord, and turn this day from following the Lord, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the Lord our God that is before his tabernacle.
30 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the Lord is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the Lord: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.
32 And Phinehas 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, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
33 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the Lord is God.
