Numbers 32

1 Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.

1 吕便和迦得的子孙有许多牲畜，他们见雅谢和基列适于放牧，

2 So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,

2 就来见摩西、以利亚撒祭司和会众的首领，说：

3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,

3 “亚他录、底本、雅谢、宁拉、希实本、以利亚利、示班、尼波和比稳——

4 which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”

4 这些耶和华为以色列会众攻取的地方适于放牧，而仆人们有许多牲畜。

5 “If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”

5 如果你们恩待我们，请将这些地方赐给我们作产业，别让我们过约旦河了。”

6 But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?

6 摩西对他们说：“难道你们的同胞去打仗，你们却坐在这里吗？

7 Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?

7 你们为何使以色列人军心动摇，不敢进入耶和华所赐之地？

8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.

8 从前我在加低斯·巴尼亚派你们的祖先去打探那地方的时候，他们就是这样。

9 For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.

9 他们到以实各谷打探那地方，回来后竟动摇军心，使以色列人不敢进入耶和华所赐之地。

10 So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,

10 那天耶和华发怒，起誓说，

11 ‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—

11 ‘从埃及出来、二十岁以上的人都看不到我起誓要赐给亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各的土地，因为他们没有一心追随我；

12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’

12 只有基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒和嫩的儿子约书亚可以看到，因为他们一心追随我。’

13 The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.

13 耶和华向以色列人发怒，使他们在旷野漂泊了四十年，直到在耶和华面前作恶的那一代都死了。

14 Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.

14 “现在，你们这群罪人的后代竟然重蹈前人的覆辙，加剧耶和华向以色列所发的怒气。

15 For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”

15 如果你们离弃祂，祂必再次把以色列人丢弃在旷野，这样你们就毁了整个民族。”

16 Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.

16 他们上前对摩西说：“我们要在这里为牲畜建棚圈，为家小筑城邑，

17 But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.

17 让他们留在坚固的城内，免受当地居民的威胁。然后我们必拿起兵器率先上阵，直到帮其他以色列同胞夺取他们的土地。

18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.

18 在其他同胞占领各自的产业之前，我们决不回家。

19 Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”

19 但我们不会跟他们在约旦河西岸分土地，我们已经得到约旦河东边作产业。”

20 Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,

20 摩西说：“如果你们信守承诺，拿起兵器在耶和华面前出战，

21 and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,

21 你们全军就要在耶和华面前渡过约旦河，直到祂赶走祂面前的仇敌，

22 then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.

22 征服那地方。之后，你们才可以回家，才算在耶和华和以色列人面前尽了自己的责任，这地方就在耶和华面前归给你们作产业。

23 But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.

23 但你们如果不这样做，就是得罪耶和华，必难逃罪责。

24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”

24 你们现在去为家小筑城邑，为牛羊建棚圈吧，但别忘了信守承诺。”

25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.

25 迦得和吕便的子孙对摩西说：“仆人们一定遵命而行。

26 Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.

26 我们的妻子、孩子、牛羊等牲畜都会留在基列的各城。

27 But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”

27 仆人当中所有能上阵打仗的人都会照你的吩咐在耶和华面前过河作战。”

28 So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.

28 于是，摩西对以利亚撒祭司、嫩的儿子约书亚和以色列各支派的族长说：

29 And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.

29 “如果迦得和吕便子孙中所有能上阵打仗的人，在耶和华面前跟你们一同过河作战，你们征服那片土地以后，就要把基列给他们作产业。

30 But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan.”

30 如果他们不带着兵器跟你们一起过河作战，就只能在迦南与你们同分产业。”

31 The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.

31 迦得和吕便的子孙再次说：“凡耶和华所吩咐的，仆人们一定照办。

32 We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”

32 我们一定带着兵器在耶和华面前过河，进入迦南，但我们要拥有约旦河东边作产业。”

33 So Moses gave to the Gadites, to the Reubenites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.

33 摩西就把亚摩利王西宏和巴珊王噩的国土及周围的城邑，都给了迦得的子孙、吕便的子孙和约瑟儿子玛拿西的半个支派。

34 And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

34 迦得的子孙重建了底本、亚他录、亚罗珥、

35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

35 亚他录·朔反、雅谢、约比哈、

36 Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.

36 伯·宁拉和伯·哈兰，使之成为坚固的城池，并建了羊圈。

37 The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

37 吕便的子孙重建了希实本、以利亚利、基列亭、

38 as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.

38 尼波、巴力·免和西比玛。他们为重建的城邑起了新名字，如尼波和巴力·免。

39 The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.

39 玛拿西之子玛吉的子孙占领了基列，赶走了那里的亚摩利人。

40 So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.

40 摩西就把基列赐给玛拿西的儿子玛吉，他便住在那里。

41 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.

41 玛拿西的子孙雅珥占领了基列的村庄，将它们改名为哈倭特·雅珥。

42 And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.

42 挪巴占领了基纳及其周围的村庄，就按自己的名字称基纳为挪巴。
