Deuteronomy 3

1 Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.

1 ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَاتَّجَهْنَا نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ، فَخَرَجَ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ لِمُحَارَبَتِنَا بِكَامِلِ جَيْشِهِ، فِي إذْرَعِي.

2 But the LORD said to me, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”

2 فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «لا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ. قَدْ نَصَرْتُكَ عَلَيْهِ مَعَ سَائِرِ جَيْشِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ، فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلْتَ بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِي كَانَ مُقِيماً فِي حَشْبُونَ.»

3 So the LORD our God also delivered Og king of Bashan and his whole army into our hands. We struck them down until no survivor was left.

3 فَحَقَّقَ لَنَا إِلَهُنَا النَّصْرَ أَيْضاً عَلَى عُوجٍ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ وَعَلَى سَائِرِ جَيْشِهِ، فَهَزَمْنَاهُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ،

4 At that time we captured all sixty of his cities. There was not a single city we failed to take—the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

4 وَاسْتَوْلَيْنَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ مُدُنِهِ وَكُلِّ قُرَاهُ. فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا سِتِّينَ مَدِينَةً مُنْتَشِرَةً فِي كُلِّ مِنْطَقَةِ أَرْجُوبَ الَّتِي تُشَكِّلُ مَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

5 All these cities were fortified with high walls and gates and bars, and there were many more unwalled villages.

5 وَكَانَتْ جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ مُدُناً مُحَصَّنَةً بِالأَسْوَارِ الْعَالِيَةِ وَالأَبْوَابِ وَالْمَزَالِيجِ، فَضْلاً عَنْ قُرَى الصَّحْرَاءِ الْكَثِيرَةِ.

6 We devoted them to destruction, as we had done to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city.

6 فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا كَمَا فَعَلْنَا بِمُدُنِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ، وَقَضَيْنَا عَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالأَطْفَالِ.

7 But all the livestock and plunder of the cities we carried off for ourselves.

7 وَلَكِنَّنَا غَنِمْنَا لأَنْفُسِنَا كُلَّ الْبَهَائِمِ وَأَسْلابِ الْمُدُنِ.

8 At that time we took from the two kings of the Amorites the land across the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Hermon—

8 وَأَخَذْنَا حِينَئِذٍ مِنْ أَيْدِي مَلِكَيِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الأَرْضَ الْوَاقِعَةَ شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ مِنْ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ حَتَّى جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ.

9 which the Sidonians call Sirion but the Amorites call Senir—

9 وَيَدْعُو الصِّيدُونِيُّونَ جَبَلَ حَرْمُونَ «سِرْيُونَ». أَمَّا الأَمُورِيُّونَ فَيَدْعُونَهُ «سَنِيرَ».

10 all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan as far as the cities of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og.

10 وَهَكَذَا اسْتَوْلَيْنَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ السَّهْلِ وَسَائِرِ جِلْعَادَ وَبَاشَانَ إِلَى سَلْخَةَ وَإِذْرَعِي مَدِينَتَيْ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

11 (For only Og king of Bashan had remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)

11 وَكَانَ عُوجٌ آخِرَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ الرَّفَائِيِّينَ. وَكَانَ سَرِيرُهُ مَصْنُوعاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَلا يَزَالُ مَحْفُوظاً فِي (مُتْحَفِ) رَبَّةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. طُولُهُ تِسْعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَعَرْضُهُ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ).

12 So at that time we took possession of this land. To the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the land beyond Aroer along the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead, along with its cities.

12 وَقَدِ امْتَلَكْنَا آنَئِذٍ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ، فَأَعْطَيْتُ لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْجَادِيِّينَ بِلادَ عَرُوعِيرَ الْوَاقِعَةَ عَلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَنِصْفَ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ.

13 To the half-tribe of Manasseh I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The entire region of Argob, the whole territory of Bashan, used to be called the land of the Rephaim.)

13 كَمَا أَعْطَيْتُ لِنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى بَقِيَّةَ جِلْعَادَ، وَكُلَّ مِنْطَقَةِ أَرْجُوبَ وَبَاشَانَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُشَكِّلُ مَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ، وَهِيَ تُدْعَى أَيْضاً أَرْضَ الرَّفَائِيِّينَ.

14 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. He renamed Bashan after himself, Havvoth-jair, by which it is called to this day.

14 فَأَخَذَ يَائِيرُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ مَنَسَّى جَمِيعَ مِنْطَقَةِ أَرْجُوبَ حَتَّى حُدُودِ الْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَالْمَعْكِيِّينَ، وَأَطْلَقَ اسْمَهُ عَلَى أَرْضِ بَاشَانَ، فَدَعَاهَا حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ (وَمَعْنَاهَا قُرَى يَائِيرَ) إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

15 To Machir I gave Gilead,

15 كَذَلِكَ أَعْطَيْتُ مَاكِيرَ جِلْعَادَ.

16 and to the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead to the Arnon Valley (the middle of the valley was the border) and up to the Jabbok River, the border of the Ammonites.

16 أَمَّا الرَّأُوبَيْنِيُّونَ وَالْجَادِيُّونَ فَقَدْ مَلَّكْتُهُمُ الْمِنْطَقَةَ الْمُمْتَدَّةَ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ حَتَّى مُنْتَصَفِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، حَيْثُ تَنْتَهِي حُدُودُهُمْ. وَكَذَلِكَ إِلَى وَادِي يَبُّوقَ الْمُتَاخِمِ لِحُدُودِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

17 The Jordan River in the Arabah bordered it from Chinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) with the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

17 كَمَا امْتَدَّتْ حُدُودُهُمْ إِلَى الْغَرْبِ حَتَّى نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ فِي وَادِي الْعَرَبَةِ، مِنْ كِنَّارَةَ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ الْمَيِّتِ تَحْتَ سُفُوحِ جَبَلِ الْفِسْجَةِ شَرْقاً.

18 At that time I commanded you: “The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. All your men of valor are to cross over, armed for battle, ahead of your brothers, the Israelites.

18 وَأَمَرْتُ سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى قَائِلاً: قَدْ أَوْرَثَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا. فَلْيَعْبُرْ أَبْطَالُكُمْ مُدَجَّجِينَ بِالسِّلاحِ فِي طَلِيعَةِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

19 But your wives, your children, and your livestock—I know that you have much livestock—may remain in the cities I have given you,

19 وَلْتَمْكُثْ نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ، الَّتِي أَعْلَمُ كَثْرَتَهَا، فِي مُدُنِكُمُ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَكُمْ

20 until the LORD gives rest to your brothers as He has to you, and they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them across the Jordan. Then each of you may return to the possession I have given you.”

20 إِلَى أَنْ يَمْتَلِكَ إِخْوَتُكُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَهُمْ غَرْبِيَّ الأُرْدُنِّ وَيُرِيحُهُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ. ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ كُلٌّ مِنْكُمْ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ الَّذِي وَهَبْتُهُ لَهُ.

21 And at that time I commanded Joshua: “Your own eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to enter.

21 وَقُلْتُ حِينَذَاكَ لِيَشُوعَ: «لَقَدْ شَهِدَتْ عَيْنَاكَ مَا أَنْزَلَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِهَذَيْنِ الْمَلِكَيْنِ، فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا سَيَصْنَعُ بِجَمِيعِ الْمَمَالِكِ الَّتِي أَنْتَ عَابِرٌ إِلَيْهَا.

22 Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you.”

22 لَا تَجْزَعُوا مِنْهُمْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ».

23 At that time I also pleaded with the LORD:

23 وَتَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ قَائِلاً:

24 “O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?

24 «يَا سَيِّدُ هَا أَنْتَ قَدِ ابْتَدَأْتَ تُعْلِنُ لِعَبْدِكَ عَظَمَتَكَ وَقُوَّةَ قُدْرَتِكَ فَأَيُّ إِلَهٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى الأَرْضِ يُجْرِي مِثْلَ أَعْمَالِكَ وَجَبَرُوتِكَ.

25 Please let me cross over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that pleasant hill country as well as Lebanon!”

25 دَعْنِي أَعْبُرُ لأَرَى لُبْنَانَ وَالأَرْضَ الْخَصِيبَةَ غَرْبِيَّ الأُرْدُنِّ بِتِلالِهَا الطَّيِّبَةِ».

26 But the LORD was angry with me on account of you, and He would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the LORD said to me. “Do not speak to Me again about this matter.

26 لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ غَضِبَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، وَلَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لِي، بَلْ قَالَ: كَفَاكَ. لَا تَعُدْ تُكَلِّمُنِي فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ.

27 Go to the top of Pisgah and look to the west and north and south and east. See the land with your own eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan.

27 اصْعَدْ إِلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلِ الْفِسْجَةِ وَتَلَفَّتْ إِلَى الْغَرْبِ وَالشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ وَالشَّرْقِ وَشَاهِدِ الأَرْضَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ لَكِنْ لَنْ تَعْبُرَ إِلَى غَرْبِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

28 But commission Joshua, encourage him, and strengthen him, for he will cross over ahead of the people and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.”

28 إِنَّمَا يَشُوعُ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقُودُ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْسِمُ لَهُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تُشَاهِدُهَا. كَذَلِكَ أَوْصِهِ وَثَبِّتْهُ وَشَجِّعْهُ.

29 So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.

29 وَهَكَذَا مَكَثْنَا فِي الْوَادِي مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ فَغُورَ.
