1 Den Joshua tell da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana fo come by him. 2  ✡ 22:2: Census 32:20-32; Josh 1:12-15He tell um, “You guys wen do eryting dat Moses, Da One In Charge worka guy, wen tell you fo do. An you guys wen do eryting dat I wen tell you fo do too. 3 Fo one long time, an till today, you guys neva bag from yoa braddahs! You wen pau da job yoa God, Da One In Charge, wen give you fo do! 4 Now yoa God, Da One In Charge, give yoa braddahs res from war, jalike he wen make one promise fo do. Now, you guys can go back yoa place inside da land dat Moses wen give you, da odda side a da Jordan Riva. 5 But watch out! Do eryting dat Moses, Da One In Charge worka guy, wen tell you fo do. Stick wit da rules! Get love an aloha fo yoa God, Da One In Charge, live da way he like you fo live, lissen wat he tell you guys fo do, stay tight wit him, an go all out fo work fo him.”

6 Den Joshua tell Da One In Charge fo do good tings fo dem, an he tell um okay fo dem go. Den dey go home. 7 (Fo half a da Manasseh ohana, Moses give um land inside Bashan awready. Fo da odda half a da Manasseh ohana, Joshua give land da west side a da Jordan Riva wit dea braddahs.) Wen Joshua sen um back dea place, he aks Da One In Charge fo do good tings fo dem. 8 Joshua tell da peopo, “Go back yoa houses wit all yoa rich stuffs: plenny animals, silva, gold, bronze, iron, an plenny clotheses. Share wit yoa braddahs all da stuffs you guys wen take from da peopo dat stay agains you guys.”

9 So da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana go way from da odda Israel peopo Shiloh side inside Canaan. Dey go back Gilead side, dea land, dat dey wen get befo time, jalike Da One In Charge wen tell Moses fo do.

10 Wen dey come Gelilot nea da Jordan Riva inside Canaan, da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana wen build one big altar dat erybody can see, ova dea nea da Jordan Riva. 11 But da odda Israel peopo hear dat dey wen build one big altar on da edge a da Canaan land by Gelilot nea da Jordan Riva on da Israel side. 12 Wen da odda Israel peopo hear dat, dey come togedda Shiloh side fo make ready fo go make war agains dem.

13 But firs, da Israel peopo sen Finehas, Eleazar da pries boy, Gilead side by da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana. 14 An dey sen ten a da leada guys wit Finehas, one guy fo ery Israel ohana. All dem was da main leada guy fo his ohana.

15 Wen Finehas guys come Gilead side, to da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana, dey tell dem: 16  ✡ 22:16: Rules2 12:13-14“All da peopo a Da One In Charge, stay come togedda. Dey tell, ‘How come you guys broke yoa promise to da God fo da Israel peopo lidis?! How come you guys tell “Laytas” to Da One In Charge, an make one altar fo you go agains him awready?! 17  ✡ 22:17: Census 25:1-9Befo time, wen oua peopo do one real bad ting Peor side, you guys tink az not enuff blame fo us guys, o wat?! Still yet today us guys neva make us clean from dat real bad kine ting! We still suffa from dat, no matta plenny peopo from da peopo a Da One In Charge, wen come sick dat time wit one real bad kine sick. 18 So! You guys still yet goin tell “Laytas” to Da One In Charge, o wat?!

“ ‘If you guys go agains Da One In Charge today, fo shua tomorra he goin come huhu wit all us Israel peopo togedda! 19 If da property you guys get ova dea stay pilau, mo betta you guys come ova oua side! Az Da One In Charge land, wea da Tent Fo Come Togedda Wit Da One In Charge stay! Mo betta you come live inside dat land an get property by us guys. But no go agains Da One In Charge o agains us guys, an make one altar fo ony you guys. Stick wit da real altar fo oua God, dass Da One In Charge a us! 20  ✡ 22:20: Josh 7:1-26An da time Akan Zerah boy go agains Da One In Charge an steal da tings dat kapu fo erybody, dat time God come huhu wit all da Israel peopo. Akan, he not da ony guy dat wen mahke cuz a da real bad ting he wen do. Odda guys mahke too.’ ”

21 Den da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana tell da leadas fo da Israel peopo,

“If us guys stay do dis ting agains Da One In Charge, an no lissen him, den no let us guys stay alive. 23 If us guys make one altar fo us tell ‘Laytas’ to Da One In Charge, an make burn up kine sacrifices on top um, an wheat an barley sacrifices, o make one sacrifice dat tell dat Da One In Charge an us stay tight, we like Da One In Charge be da One fo poin finga us guys.

24 “But us make dis altar cuz we sked dat bumbye you guys kids goin tell oua kids, ‘How come you guys tink you get da right fo pray to Da One In Charge, da God fo da Israel peopo, aah? 25 Da One In Charge wen make da Jordan Riva jalike one wall wit us on dis side an you Reuben an Gad guys on da odda side. You guys no mo da right fo go down in front Da One In Charge.’ So den yoa kids goin make oua kids pau stay sked a Da One In Charge an no goin respeck um.

26 “Az how come us guys wen tell, ‘Us goin get ready fo build one altar—but no goin be fo make burn up kine sacrifices o regula sacrifices. 27 But dis altar goin be one ting dat make you guys an us guys no foget dis: us guys get da right fo go down in front Da One In Charge fo show love an respeck fo him, ova dea by his Tent. An same ting fo oua kids bumbye, us guys goin go ova yoa side fo make burn up kine sacrifices an regula sacrifices an sacrifices dat tell dat Da One In Charge an us stay good.’ Den bumbye yoa kids no goin tell oua kids, ‘You guys no mo da right fo go down in front Da One In Charge ova hea.’

28 “An us Reuben an Gad guys tell, ‘If dey talk lidat to us guys, o to oua kids, we goin tell dem, “Look da altar ova hea dat oua ancesta guys wen copy! Az jalike da altar in front da Tent Fo Meet Wit Da One In Charge. Dey make um, but not fo make burn up kine sacrifices an regula sacrifices ova hea! Dey make um fo us guys an you guys all no go foget dat we goin go Da Tent Fo Meet Wit Da One In Charge fo make burn up kine sacrifices an regula sacrifices ova dea!” ’ 29 Us guys no go agains Da One In Charge! Us no goin tell ‘Laytas’ to him today, an make one altar fo burn up kine sacrifices, wheat an barley sacrifices, an regula sacrifices! We goin use ony da altar dat stay in front da Tent fo oua God, Da One In Charge.”

30 Wen Finehas da pries guy an da leadas fo da Israel peopo, da main guys fo da main ohanas, hear wat da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an half da Manasseh ohana tell, dey stay good inside. 31 So Finehas, Eleazar da pries boy, tell da Reuben ohana, da Gad ohana, an da Manasseh ohana, “Today us guys know dat Da One In Charge stay tight wit all us Israel guys, cuz you guys no go agains him wen you wen build da altar. Now us guys know dat Da One In Charge no goin punish all us Israel peopo cuz a wat you guys wen do!”

32 Den Finehas, Eleazar da pries boy, an da leada guys go back Canaan side, afta dey pau talk to da Reuben ohana an da Gad ohana Gilead side. Dey tell da odda Israel peopo wat wen happen. 33 Da peopo stay good inside wen dey hear dat, an tell good tings bout God. An dey no talk no mo bout make war agains dea braddahs, fo wipe out da land wea da Reuben ohana an da Gad ohana live.

34 Da Reuben ohana an da Gad ohana give dea altar dis name: “Fo make all us guys no foget dat Da One In Charge, he God.”
