اَلتَّثْنِيَة 3

١ 1 «ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَصَعِدْنَا فِي طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ، فَخَرَجَ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ لِلِقَائِنَا هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ قَوْمِهِ لِلْحَرْبِ فِي إِذْرَعِي.

Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

٢ 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.

And Yhwh said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

٣ 3 فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى أَيْدِينَا عُوجَ أَيْضًا مَلِكَ بَاشَانَ وَجَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ، فَضَرَبْنَاهُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُ شَارِدٌ.

So Yhwh our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

٤ 4 وَأَخَذْنَا كُلَّ مُدُنِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ. لَمْ تَكُنْ قَرْيَةٌ لَمْ نَأْخُذْهَا مِنْهُمْ. سِتُّونَ مَدِينَةً، كُلُّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ مَمْلَكَةُ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

٥ 5 كُلُّ هَذِهِ كَانَتْ مُدُنًا مُحَصَّنَةً بِأَسْوَارٍ شَامِخَةٍ، وَأَبْوَابٍ وَمَزَالِيجَ. سِوَى قُرَى ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ جِدًّا.

All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.

٦ 6 فَحَرَّمْنَاهَا كَمَا فَعَلْنَا بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ، مُحَرِّمِينَ كُلَّ مَدِينَةٍ: ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ.

And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

٧ 7 لَكِنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَغَنِيمَةِ ٱلْمُدُنِ نَهَبْنَاهَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا.

But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.

٨ 8 وَأَخَذْنَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكَيِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، مِنْ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ إِلَى جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ.

And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;

٩ 9 وَٱلصَّيْدُونِيُّونَ يَدْعُونَ حَرْمُونَ سِرْيُونَ، وَٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ يَدْعُونَهُ سَنِيرَ.

( Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir; )

١٠ 10 كُلَّ مُدُنِ ٱلسَّهْلِ وَكُلَّ جِلْعَادَ وَكُلَّ بَاشَانَ إِلَى سَلْخَةَ وَإِذْرَعِي مَدِينَتَيْ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

١١ 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.

For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

١٢ 12 «فَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱمْتَلَكْنَاهَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، وَنِصْفَ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ وَمُدُنَهُ أَعْطَيْتُ لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ.

And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

١٣ 13 وَبَقِيَّةَ جِلْعَادَ وَكُلَّ بَاشَانَ مَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ أَعْطَيْتُ لِنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى. كُلَّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ مَعَ كُلِّ بَاشَانَ. وَهِيَ تُدْعَى أَرْضَ ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ.

And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.

١٤ 14 يَائِيرُ ٱبْنُ مَنَسَّى أَخَذَ كُلَّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ إِلَى تُخْمِ ٱلْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْمَعْكِيِّينَ، وَدَعَاهَا عَلَى ٱسْمِهِ بَاشَانَ «حَوُّوثِ يَائِيرَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashan–havoth–jair, unto this day.

١٥ 15 وَلِمَاكِيرَ أَعْطَيْتُ جِلْعَادَ.

And I gave Gilead unto Machir.

١٦ 16 وَلِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ أَعْطَيْتُ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ إِلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَسَطَ ٱلْوَادِي تُخْمًا، وَإِلَى وَادِي يَبُّوقَ تُخْمِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;

١٧ 17 وَٱلْعَرَبَةَ وَٱلْأُرْدُنَّ تُخْمًا مِنْ كِنَّارَةَ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، بَحْرِ ٱلْمِلْحِ، تَحْتَ سُفُوحِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ.

The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdoth–pisgah eastward.

١٨ 18 «وَأَمَرْتُكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا. مُتَجَرِّدِينَ تَعْبُرُونَ أَمَامَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّ ذَوِي بَأْسٍ.

And I commanded you at that time, saying, Yhwh your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.

١٩ 19 أَمَّا نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ، قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ لَكُمْ مَوَاشِيَ كَثِيرَةً، فَتَمْكُثُ فِي مُدُنِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ،

But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, ( for I know that ye have much cattle, ) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;

٢٠ 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.

Until Yhwh have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which Yhwh your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.

٢١ 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.

And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that Yhwh your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall Yhwh do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

٢٢ 22 لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ ٱلْمُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ.

Ye shall not fear them: for Yhwh your God he shall fight for you.

٢٣ 23 «وَتَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا:

And I besought Yhwh at that time, saying,

٢٤ 24 يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنْتَ قَدِ ٱبْتَدَأْتَ تُرِي عَبْدَكَ عَظَمَتَكَ وَيَدَكَ ٱلشَّدِيدَةَ. فَإِنَّهُ أَيُّ إِلَهٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَعْمَلُ كَأَعْمَالِكَ وَكَجَبَرُوتِكَ؟

O Lord Yhwh, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

٢٥ 25 دَعْنِي أَعْبُرْ وَأَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلَ ٱلْجَيِّدَ وَلُبْنَانَ.

I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.

٢٦ 26 لَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ غَضِبَ عَلَيَّ بِسَبَبِكُمْ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِي، بَلْ قَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: كَفَاكَ! لَا تَعُدْ تُكَلِّمُنِي أَيْضًا فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ.

But Yhwh was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and Yhwh said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.

٢٧ 27 ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ وَٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى ٱلْغَرْبِ وَٱلشِّمَالِ وَٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱلشَّرْقِ، وَٱنْظُرْ بِعَيْنَيْكَ، لَكِنْ لَا تَعْبُرُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ.

Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

٢٨ 28 وَأَمَّا يَشُوعُ فَأَوْصِهِ وَشَدِّدْهُ وَشَجِّعْهُ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْبُرُ أَمَامَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ لَهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي تَرَاهَا.

But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.

٢٩ 29 فَمَكَثْنَا فِي ٱلْجِوَاءِ مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ فَغُورَ.

So we abode in the valley over against Beth–peor.
