اَلتَّثْنِيَة 3
| «ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَصَعِدْنَا فِي طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ، فَخَرَجَ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ لِلِقَائِنَا هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ قَوْمِهِ لِلْحَرْبِ فِي إِذْرَعِي. | ١ 1 |
We set off and went up the road towards Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, and his whole army came out to fight us at Edrei.
| 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. | ٢ 2 |
But the Lord told me, “Don't be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, together with all his people and his land. Deal with him as you did with Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.”
| فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى أَيْدِينَا عُوجَ أَيْضًا مَلِكَ بَاشَانَ وَجَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ، فَضَرَبْنَاهُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُ شَارِدٌ. | ٣ 3 |
So the Lord our God handed over to us Og, king of Bashan, and his whole army as well. We killed them and left no survivors.
| وَأَخَذْنَا كُلَّ مُدُنِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ. لَمْ تَكُنْ قَرْيَةٌ لَمْ نَأْخُذْهَا مِنْهُمْ. سِتُّونَ مَدِينَةً، كُلُّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ مَمْلَكَةُ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ. | ٤ 4 |
We also captured all his towns. There wasn't a single town among all the sixty that we didn't capture. This included the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
| كُلُّ هَذِهِ كَانَتْ مُدُنًا مُحَصَّنَةً بِأَسْوَارٍ شَامِخَةٍ، وَأَبْوَابٍ وَمَزَالِيجَ. سِوَى قُرَى ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ جِدًّا. | ٥ 5 |
All of these towns were fortified with high walls and gates with bars. There were many more villages as well, those that didn't have walls.
| فَحَرَّمْنَاهَا كَمَا فَعَلْنَا بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ، مُحَرِّمِينَ كُلَّ مَدِينَةٍ: ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ. | ٦ 6 |
We set them apart for destruction, just as we did to Sihon, king of Heshbon, killing all the men, women, and children of every city.
| لَكِنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَغَنِيمَةِ ٱلْمُدُنِ نَهَبْنَاهَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا. | ٧ 7 |
But we took for ourselves all the livestock and plunder from the towns.
| وَأَخَذْنَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكَيِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، مِنْ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ إِلَى جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ. | ٨ 8 |
So in summary, at that time we took from the two Amorite kings the land east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley all the way to Mount Hermon.
| وَٱلصَّيْدُونِيُّونَ يَدْعُونَ حَرْمُونَ سِرْيُونَ، وَٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ يَدْعُونَهُ سَنِيرَ. | ٩ 9 |
(Mount Hermon is called Sirion by the Sidonians and Senir by the Amorites.)
| كُلَّ مُدُنِ ٱلسَّهْلِ وَكُلَّ جِلْعَادَ وَكُلَّ بَاشَانَ إِلَى سَلْخَةَ وَإِذْرَعِي مَدِينَتَيْ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ. | ١٠ 10 |
The area included all the towns of the plain, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan, up to and including the towns of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og.
| 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. | ١١ 11 |
(Only Og, king of Bashan, was left of the race of the Rephaim. He had a bed made of iron that was nine cubits long and four cubits wide. It's still in the Ammonite town of Rabbah.)
| «فَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱمْتَلَكْنَاهَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، وَنِصْفَ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ وَمُدُنَهُ أَعْطَيْتُ لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ. | ١٢ 12 |
This is when we took over the land. I assigned to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land to the north of the town of Aroer in the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns.
| وَبَقِيَّةَ جِلْعَادَ وَكُلَّ بَاشَانَ مَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ أَعْطَيْتُ لِنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى. كُلَّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ مَعَ كُلِّ بَاشَانَ. وَهِيَ تُدْعَى أَرْضَ ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ. | ١٣ 13 |
I assigned to the half-tribe of Manasseh the rest of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The whole region of Argob, all the territory of Bashan, was formerly called the land of the Rephaim.)
| يَائِيرُ ٱبْنُ مَنَسَّى أَخَذَ كُلَّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ إِلَى تُخْمِ ٱلْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْمَعْكِيِّينَ، وَدَعَاهَا عَلَى ٱسْمِهِ بَاشَانَ «حَوُّوثِ يَائِيرَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took over the whole region of Argob right up to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites and changed the name of Bashan to Havvoth-jair after himself, which is still its name to this day.
| وَلِمَاكِيرَ أَعْطَيْتُ جِلْعَادَ. | ١٥ 15 |
I assigned the rest of Gilead to the descendants of Machir,
| وَلِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ أَعْطَيْتُ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ إِلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَسَطَ ٱلْوَادِي تُخْمًا، وَإِلَى وَادِي يَبُّوقَ تُخْمِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. | ١٦ 16 |
while I assigned to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the area from Gilead to the Arnon Valley, the boundary line being the middle of the valley, all the way to the Jabbok River on the Ammonite border.
| وَٱلْعَرَبَةَ وَٱلْأُرْدُنَّ تُخْمًا مِنْ كِنَّارَةَ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، بَحْرِ ٱلْمِلْحِ، تَحْتَ سُفُوحِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ. | ١٧ 17 |
The Jordan River in the Arabah bordered it to the west, from the Sea of Galilee to the Sea of the Arabah (the Dead Sea). On the east lay the slopes of the Pisgah mountain range.
| «وَأَمَرْتُكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا. مُتَجَرِّدِينَ تَعْبُرُونَ أَمَامَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّ ذَوِي بَأْسٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
This was when I gave you these instructions: “The Lord your God has given you this country as yours to own. All your warriors are to cross over, ready for battle, leading your fellow Israelites.
| أَمَّا نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ، قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ لَكُمْ مَوَاشِيَ كَثِيرَةً، فَتَمْكُثُ فِي مُدُنِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ، | ١٩ 19 |
However, your wives, your children, and your livestock (I know that you have plenty of livestock) can stay behind in the towns I have given you,
| حَتَّى يُرِيحَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِخْوَتَكُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ وَيَمْتَلِكُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ يُعْطِيهِمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
until the Lord gives victory to your fellow Israelites and they have peace, just as he has for you, after taking over the land that the Lord your God is giving them on the other side of the Jordan. Then you can all return to the land I have given you to own.”
| 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. | ٢١ 21 |
This was the time I ordered Joshua: “You've seen with your own eyes seen everything the Lord your God did to these two kings. The Lord will do the same to all the kingdoms where you're going.
| لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ ٱلْمُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Don't be afraid of them, for the Lord your God himself will be fighting on your side.”
| «وَتَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: | ٢٣ 23 |
This was also the time I pleaded with the Lord, saying,
| يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنْتَ قَدِ ٱبْتَدَأْتَ تُرِي عَبْدَكَ عَظَمَتَكَ وَيَدَكَ ٱلشَّدِيدَةَ. فَإِنَّهُ أَيُّ إِلَهٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَعْمَلُ كَأَعْمَالِكَ وَكَجَبَرُوتِكَ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
“Lord God, you've really only just begun to show your power and greatness to me, your servant. What god in heaven or on earth has the incredible ability to do the mighty acts you do?
| دَعْنِي أَعْبُرْ وَأَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلَ ٱلْجَيِّدَ وَلُبْنَانَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Please, let me cross over the Jordan and see the good land there, the beautiful hills, and the mountains of Lebanon!”
| لَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ غَضِبَ عَلَيَّ بِسَبَبِكُمْ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِي، بَلْ قَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: كَفَاكَ! لَا تَعُدْ تُكَلِّمُنِي أَيْضًا فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
But the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he refused to listen to me. “That's enough,” he told me. “Don't talk to me about this anymore.
| ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ وَٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى ٱلْغَرْبِ وَٱلشِّمَالِ وَٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱلشَّرْقِ، وَٱنْظُرْ بِعَيْنَيْكَ، لَكِنْ لَا تَعْبُرُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Climb up to the top of Mount and look west, north, south, and east. Take a long look at the land with your own eyes, because you're not going to cross this Jordan.
| وَأَمَّا يَشُوعُ فَأَوْصِهِ وَشَدِّدْهُ وَشَجِّعْهُ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْبُرُ أَمَامَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ لَهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي تَرَاهَا. | ٢٨ 28 |
Instead, put Joshua in charge because he's the one who will cross over, leading the people and helping them to take over the land that you see. Encourage him and support him.”
| فَمَكَثْنَا فِي ٱلْجِوَاءِ مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ فَغُورَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
So we remained there in the valley near Beth-peor.
