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 وَأَمَّا بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ فَكَانَ لَهُمْ مَوَاشٍ كَثِيرَةٌ وَافِرَةٌ جِدًّا. فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا أَرْضَ يَعْزِيرَ وَأَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ، وَإِذَا ٱلْمَكَانُ مَكَانُ مَوَاشٍ،

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

2 أَتَى بَنُو جَادَ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَكَلَّمُوا مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ قَائِلِينَ:

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

3 «عَطَارُوتُ وَدِيبُونُ وَيَعْزِيرُ وَنِمْرَةُ وَحَشْبُونُ وَأَلِعَالَةُ وَشَبَامُ وَنَبُو وَبَعُونُ،

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

4 ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ قُدَّامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هِيَ أَرْضُ مَوَاشٍ، وَلِعَبِيدِكَ مَوَاشٍ».

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 ثُمَّ قَالُوا: «إِنْ وَجَدْنَا نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ فَلْتُعْطَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ لِعَبِيدِكَ مُلْكًا، وَلَا تُعَبِّرْنَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ».

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

6 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِبَنِي جَادٍ وَبَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ: «هَلْ يَنْطَلِقُ إِخْوَتُكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْعُدُونَ هَهُنَا؟

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

7 فَلِمَاذَا تَصُدُّونَ قُلُوبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْعُبُورِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟

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

8 هَكَذَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُكُمْ حِينَ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ لِيَنْظُرُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ.

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 صَعِدُوا إِلَى وَادِي أَشْكُولَ وَنَظَرُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ وَصَدُّوا قُلُوبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ دُخُولِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

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

10 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَأَقْسَمَ قَائِلًا:

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 لَنْ يَرَى ٱلنَّاسُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ، مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا، ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَّبِعُونِي تَمَامًا،

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

12 مَا عَدَا كَالِبَ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ ٱلْقِنِزِّيَّ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ، لِأَنَّهُمَا ٱتَّبَعَا ٱلرَّبَّ تَمَامًا.

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 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَتَاهَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، حَتَّى فَنِيَ كُلُّ ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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 فَهُوَذَا أَنْتُمْ قَدْ قُمْتُمْ عِوَضًا عَنْ آبَائِكُمْ، تَرْبِيَةَ أُنَاسٍ خُطَاةٍ، لِكَيْ تَزِيدُوا أَيْضًا حُمُوَّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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 إِذَا ٱرْتَدَدْتُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، يَعُودُ يَتْرُكُهُ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، فَتُهْلِكُونَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ».

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 فَٱقْتَرَبُوا إِلَيْهِ وَقَالُوا: «نَبْنِي صِيَرَ غَنَمٍ لِمَوَاشِينَا هَهُنَا وَمُدُنًا لِأَطْفَالِنَا.

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 وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَتَجَرَّدُ مُسْرِعِينَ قُدَّامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى نَأْتِيَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَكَانِهِمْ، وَيَلْبَثُ أَطْفَالُنَا فِي مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ مِنْ وَجْهِ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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

18 لَا نَرْجِعُ إِلَى بُيُوتِنَا حَتَّى يَقْتَسِمَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ نَصِيبَهُ.

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 إِنَّنَا لَا نَمْلِكُ مَعَهُمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ وَمَا وَرَاءَهُ، لِأَنَّ نَصِيبَنَا قَدْ حَصَلَ لَنَا فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى ٱلشَّرْقِ».

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

20 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ، إِنْ تَجَرَّدْتُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْحَرْبِ،

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 وَعَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ كُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ مِنْكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى طَرَدَ أَعْدَاءَهُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ،

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 وَأُخْضِعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَجَعْتُمْ، فَتَكُونُونَ أَبْرِيَاءَ مِنْ نَحْوِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ نَحْوِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مُلْكًا لَكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا هَكَذَا، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُخْطِئُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَتَعْلَمُونَ خَطِيَّتَكُمُ ٱلَّتِي تُصِيبُكُمْ.

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

24 اِبْنُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مُدُنًا لِأَطْفَالِكُمْ وَصِيَرًا لِغَنَمِكُمْ. وَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمُ ٱفْعَلُوا».

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

25 فَكَلَّمَ بَنُو جَادَ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ: «عَبِيدُكَ يَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا أَمَرَ سَيِّدِي.

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

26 أَطْفَالُنَا وَنِسَاؤُنَا وَمَوَاشِينَا وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِنَا تَكُونُ هُنَاكَ فِي مُدُنِ جِلْعَادَ.

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 وَعَبِيدُكَ يَعْبُرُونَ، كُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ لِلْجُنْدِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْحَرْبِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ سَيِّدِي».

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 فَأَوْصَى بِهِمْ مُوسَى أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ وَرُؤُوسَ آبَاءِ ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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 وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «إِنْ عَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ مَعَكُمْ بَنُو جَادَ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ، كُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ لِلْحَرْبِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَمَتَى أُخْضِعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَمَامَكُمْ، تُعْطُونَهُمْ أَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ مُلْكًا.

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 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ يَعْبُرُوا مُتَجَرِّدِينَ مَعَكُمْ، يَتَمَلَّكُوا فِي وَسَطِكُمْ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ».

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

31 فَأَجَابَ بَنُو جَادٍ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ عَبِيدِكَ كَذَلِكَ نَفْعَلُ.

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 نَحْنُ نَعْبُرُ مُتَجَرِّدِينَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَلَكِنْ نُعْطَى مُلْكَ نَصِيبِنَا فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ».

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 فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى لَهُمْ، لِبَنِي جَادٍ وَبَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ، مَمْلَكَةَ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَمَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ، ٱلْأَرْضَ مَعَ مُدُنِهَا بِتُخُومِ مُدُنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ حَوَالَيْهَا.

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

34 فَبَنَى بَنُو جَادَ: دِيبُونَ وَعَطَارُوتَ وَعَرُوعِيرَ

35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

35 وَعَطْرُوتَ شُوفَانَ وَيَعْزِيرَ وَيُجْبَهَةَ

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

36 وَبَيْتَ نِمْرَةَ وَبَيْتَ هَارَانَ مُدُنًا مُحَصَّنَةً مَعَ صِيَرِ غَنَمٍ.

37 The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

37 وَبَنَى بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ: حَشْبُونَ وَأَلِعَالَةَ وَقَرْيَتَايِمَ

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

38 وَنَبُوَ وَبَعْلَ مَعُونَ، مُغَيَّرَتَيِ ٱلِٱسْمِ، وَسَبْمَةَ، وَدَعَوْا بِأَسْمَاءٍ أَسْمَاءَ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَوْا.

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

39 وَذَهَبَ بَنُو مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى إِلَى جِلْعَادَ وَأَخَذُوهَا وَطَرَدُوا ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِيهَا.

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

40 فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى جِلْعَادَ لِمَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى فَسَكَنَ فِيهَا.

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

41 وَذَهَبَ يَائِيرُ ٱبْنُ مَنَسَّى وَأَخَذَ مَزَارِعَهَا وَدَعَاهُنَّ: حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ.

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

42 وَذَهَبَ نُوبَحُ وَأَخَذَ قَنَاةَ وَقُرَاهَا وَدَعَاهَا نُوبَحَ بِٱسْمِهِ.
