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 وَصَعِدْنَا فِي طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ، فَخَرَجَ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ لِلِقَائِنَا هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ قَوْمِهِ لِلْحَرْبِ فِي إِذْرَعِي.

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 ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ دَفَعْتُهُ إِلَى يَدِكَ وَجَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ، فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلْتَ بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ سَاكِنًا 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 فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى أَيْدِينَا عُوجَ أَيْضًا مَلِكَ بَاشَانَ وَجَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ، فَضَرَبْنَاهُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُ شَارِدٌ.

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 وَأَخَذْنَا كُلَّ مُدُنِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ. لَمْ تَكُنْ قَرْيَةٌ لَمْ نَأْخُذْهَا مِنْهُمْ. سِتُّونَ مَدِينَةً، كُلُّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ مَمْلَكَةُ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

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

5 كُلُّ هَذِهِ كَانَتْ مُدُنًا مُحَصَّنَةً بِأَسْوَارٍ شَامِخَةٍ، وَأَبْوَابٍ وَمَزَالِيجَ. سِوَى قُرَى ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ جِدًّا.

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 فَحَرَّمْنَاهَا كَمَا فَعَلْنَا بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ، مُحَرِّمِينَ كُلَّ مَدِينَةٍ: ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ.

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

7 لَكِنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَغَنِيمَةِ ٱلْمُدُنِ نَهَبْنَاهَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا.

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 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكَيِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، مِنْ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ إِلَى جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ.

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

9 وَٱلصَّيْدُونِيُّونَ يَدْعُونَ حَرْمُونَ سِرْيُونَ، وَٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ يَدْعُونَهُ 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 كُلَّ مُدُنِ ٱلسَّهْلِ وَكُلَّ جِلْعَادَ وَكُلَّ بَاشَانَ 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 إِنَّ عُوجَ مَلِكَ بَاشَانَ وَحْدَهُ بَقِيَ مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ. هُوَذَا سَرِيرُهُ سَرِيرٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ. أَلَيْسَ هُوَ فِي رَبَّةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ؟ طُولُهُ تِسْعُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَعَرْضُهُ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ بِذِرَاعِ رَجُلٍ.

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 «فَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱمْتَلَكْنَاهَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، وَنِصْفَ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ وَمُدُنَهُ أَعْطَيْتُ لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ.

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 وَبَقِيَّةَ جِلْعَادَ وَكُلَّ بَاشَانَ مَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ أَعْطَيْتُ لِنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى. كُلَّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ مَعَ كُلِّ بَاشَانَ. وَهِيَ تُدْعَى أَرْضَ ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ.

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 يَائِيرُ ٱبْنُ مَنَسَّى أَخَذَ كُلَّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ إِلَى تُخْمِ ٱلْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْمَعْكِيِّينَ، وَدَعَاهَا عَلَى ٱسْمِهِ بَاشَانَ «حَوُّوثِ يَائِيرَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

15 To Machir I gave Gilead,

15 وَلِمَاكِيرَ أَعْطَيْتُ 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 وَلِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ أَعْطَيْتُ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ إِلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَسَطَ ٱلْوَادِي تُخْمًا، وَإِلَى وَادِي يَبُّوقَ تُخْمِ 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 وَٱلْعَرَبَةَ وَٱلْأُرْدُنَّ تُخْمًا مِنْ كِنَّارَةَ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، بَحْرِ ٱلْمِلْحِ، تَحْتَ سُفُوحِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ.

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 «وَأَمَرْتُكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا. مُتَجَرِّدِينَ تَعْبُرُونَ أَمَامَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّ ذَوِي بَأْسٍ.

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 أَمَّا نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ، قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ لَكُمْ مَوَاشِيَ كَثِيرَةً، فَتَمْكُثُ فِي مُدُنِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ،

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 حَتَّى يُرِيحَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِخْوَتَكُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ وَيَمْتَلِكُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ يُعْطِيهِمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ.

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 وَأَمَرْتُ يَشُوعَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: عَيْنَاكَ قَدْ أَبْصَرَتَا كُلَّ مَا فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِهَذَيْنِ ٱلْمَلِكَيْنِ. هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ عَابِرٌ إِلَيْهَا.

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

22 لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ ٱلْمُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ.

23 At that time I also pleaded with the LORD:

23 «وَتَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا:

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 ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنْتَ قَدِ ٱبْتَدَأْتَ تُرِي عَبْدَكَ عَظَمَتَكَ وَيَدَكَ ٱلشَّدِيدَةَ. فَإِنَّهُ أَيُّ إِلَهٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَعْمَلُ كَأَعْمَالِكَ وَكَجَبَرُوتِكَ؟

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

25 دَعْنِي أَعْبُرْ وَأَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلَ ٱلْجَيِّدَ وَلُبْنَانَ.

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 ٱلرَّبَّ غَضِبَ عَلَيَّ بِسَبَبِكُمْ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِي، بَلْ قَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: كَفَاكَ! لَا تَعُدْ تُكَلِّمُنِي أَيْضًا فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ.

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 ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ وَٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى ٱلْغَرْبِ وَٱلشِّمَالِ وَٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱلشَّرْقِ، وَٱنْظُرْ بِعَيْنَيْكَ، لَكِنْ لَا تَعْبُرُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ.

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 وَأَمَّا يَشُوعُ فَأَوْصِهِ وَشَدِّدْهُ وَشَجِّعْهُ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْبُرُ أَمَامَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ لَهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي تَرَاهَا.

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

29 فَمَكَثْنَا فِي ٱلْجِوَاءِ مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ فَغُورَ.
