تَثنِيَة 3

١ 1 ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَاتَّجَهْنَا نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ، فَخَرَجَ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ لِمُحَارَبَتِنَا بِكَامِلِ جَيْشِهِ، فِي إذْرَعِي.

And 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 the battle at Edre'i.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «لا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ. قَدْ نَصَرْتُكَ عَلَيْهِ مَعَ سَائِرِ جَيْشِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ، فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلْتَ بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِي كَانَ مُقِيماً فِي حَشْبُونَ.»

And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.

٣ 3 فَحَقَّقَ لَنَا إِلَهُنَا النَّصْرَ أَيْضاً عَلَى عُوجٍ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ وَعَلَى سَائِرِ جَيْشِهِ، فَهَزَمْنَاهُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ،

And the Lord our God gave into our hands also 'Og the king of Bashan, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him who escaped.

٤ 4 وَاسْتَوْلَيْنَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ مُدُنِهِ وَكُلِّ قُرَاهُ. فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا سِتِّينَ مَدِينَةً مُنْتَشِرَةً فِي كُلِّ مِنْطَقَةِ أَرْجُوبَ الَّتِي تُشَكِّلُ مَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

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

٥ 5 وَكَانَتْ جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ مُدُناً مُحَصَّنَةً بِالأَسْوَارِ الْعَالِيَةِ وَالأَبْوَابِ وَالْمَزَالِيجِ، فَضْلاً عَنْ قُرَى الصَّحْرَاءِ الْكَثِيرَةِ.

all these were fortified cities, with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled towns, which were a great many.

٦ 6 فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا كَمَا فَعَلْنَا بِمُدُنِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ، وَقَضَيْنَا عَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالأَطْفَالِ.

And we devoted them, as we had done unto Sichon the king of Cheshbon, devoting every inhabited city, the women, and the little ones.

٧ 7 وَلَكِنَّنَا غَنِمْنَا لأَنْفُسِنَا كُلَّ الْبَهَائِمِ وَأَسْلابِ الْمُدُنِ.

But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took as booty to ourselves.

٨ 8 وَأَخَذْنَا حِينَئِذٍ مِنْ أَيْدِي مَلِكَيِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الأَرْضَ الْوَاقِعَةَ شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ مِنْ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ حَتَّى جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ.

And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Emorites the land which is on this side of the Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Chermon;

٩ 9 وَيَدْعُو الصِّيدُونِيُّونَ جَبَلَ حَرْمُونَ «سِرْيُونَ». أَمَّا الأَمُورِيُّونَ فَيَدْعُونَهُ «سَنِيرَ».

(The Sidonians call Chermon Siryon; and the Emorites call it Senir; )

١٠ 10 وَهَكَذَا اسْتَوْلَيْنَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ السَّهْلِ وَسَائِرِ جِلْعَادَ وَبَاشَانَ إِلَى سَلْخَةَ وَإِذْرَعِي مَدِينَتَيْ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

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

١١ 11 وَكَانَ عُوجٌ آخِرَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ الرَّفَائِيِّينَ. وَكَانَ سَرِيرُهُ مَصْنُوعاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَلا يَزَالُ مَحْفُوظاً فِي (مُتْحَفِ) رَبَّةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. طُولُهُ تِسْعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَعَرْضُهُ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ).

For only 'Og the king of Bashan had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; lo! it is in Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon: nine cubits is its length, and four cubits its breadth, after the arm of a man.

١٢ 12 وَقَدِ امْتَلَكْنَا آنَئِذٍ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ، فَأَعْطَيْتُ لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْجَادِيِّينَ بِلادَ عَرُوعِيرَ الْوَاقِعَةَ عَلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَنِصْفَ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ.

And of this land, of which we took possession at that time, from 'Aro'er, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gil'ad, and the cities thereof, I gave unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

١٣ 13 كَمَا أَعْطَيْتُ لِنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى بَقِيَّةَ جِلْعَادَ، وَكُلَّ مِنْطَقَةِ أَرْجُوبَ وَبَاشَانَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُشَكِّلُ مَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ، وَهِيَ تُدْعَى أَيْضاً أَرْضَ الرَّفَائِيِّينَ.

And the rest of Gil'ad, and all Bashan, the kingdom of 'Og, I gave unto the half tribe of Menasseh: all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, this is called the land of Rephaim.

١٤ 14 فَأَخَذَ يَائِيرُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ مَنَسَّى جَمِيعَ مِنْطَقَةِ أَرْجُوبَ حَتَّى حُدُودِ الْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَالْمَعْكِيِّينَ، وَأَطْلَقَ اسْمَهُ عَلَى أَرْضِ بَاشَانَ، فَدَعَاهَا حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ (وَمَعْنَاهَا قُرَى يَائِيرَ) إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

Yair the son of Menasseh took all the region of Argob up to the border of the Geshurites and the Ma-'achathites; and he called them the [land of] Bashan, after his own name, the villages of Yair, unto this day.

١٥ 15 كَذَلِكَ أَعْطَيْتُ مَاكِيرَ جِلْعَادَ.

And unto Machir I gave Gil'ad.

١٦ 16 أَمَّا الرَّأُوبَيْنِيُّونَ وَالْجَادِيُّونَ فَقَدْ مَلَّكْتُهُمُ الْمِنْطَقَةَ الْمُمْتَدَّةَ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ حَتَّى مُنْتَصَفِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، حَيْثُ تَنْتَهِي حُدُودُهُمْ. وَكَذَلِكَ إِلَى وَادِي يَبُّوقَ الْمُتَاخِمِ لِحُدُودِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gil'ad even unto the brook Arnon, the land within the river and that adjoining, even unto the brook Yabbok, the border of the children of 'Ammon;

١٧ 17 كَمَا امْتَدَّتْ حُدُودُهُمْ إِلَى الْغَرْبِ حَتَّى نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ فِي وَادِي الْعَرَبَةِ، مِنْ كِنَّارَةَ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ الْمَيِّتِ تَحْتَ سُفُوحِ جَبَلِ الْفِسْجَةِ شَرْقاً.

The plain also, and the Jordan, and the adjoining land, from Kinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea, under the declivities of Pisgah, eastward.

١٨ 18 وَأَمَرْتُ سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى قَائِلاً: قَدْ أَوْرَثَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا. فَلْيَعْبُرْ أَبْطَالُكُمْ مُدَجَّجِينَ بِالسِّلاحِ فِي طَلِيعَةِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it: armed shall ye pass over before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are fit to bear arms.

١٩ 19 وَلْتَمْكُثْ نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ، الَّتِي أَعْلَمُ كَثْرَتَهَا، فِي مُدُنِكُمُ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَكُمْ

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

٢٠ 20 إِلَى أَنْ يَمْتَلِكَ إِخْوَتُكُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَهُمْ غَرْبِيَّ الأُرْدُنِّ وَيُرِيحُهُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ. ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ كُلٌّ مِنْكُمْ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ الَّذِي وَهَبْتُهُ لَهُ.

Until that the Lord have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God giveth them beyond the Jordan: then shall ye return every man unto his possession which I have given you.

٢١ 21 وَقُلْتُ حِينَذَاكَ لِيَشُوعَ: «لَقَدْ شَهِدَتْ عَيْنَاكَ مَا أَنْزَلَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِهَذَيْنِ الْمَلِكَيْنِ، فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا سَيَصْنَعُ بِجَمِيعِ الْمَمَالِكِ الَّتِي أَنْتَ عَابِرٌ إِلَيْهَا.

And Joshua also I commanded at that time, saying, Thy own eyes have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto these two kings: thus will the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

٢٢ 22 لَا تَجْزَعُوا مِنْهُمْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ».

Ye shall not fear them; for the Lord your God it is who fighteth for you.

٢٣ 23 وَتَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ قَائِلاً:

And I besought the Lord at that time, saying,

٢٤ 24 «يَا سَيِّدُ هَا أَنْتَ قَدِ ابْتَدَأْتَ تُعْلِنُ لِعَبْدِكَ عَظَمَتَكَ وَقُوَّةَ قُدْرَتِكَ فَأَيُّ إِلَهٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى الأَرْضِ يُجْرِي مِثْلَ أَعْمَالِكَ وَجَبَرُوتِكَ.

O Lord Eternal, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand; for what God is there in heaven or on earth, that can do aught like thy works, and like thy mighty deeds?

٢٥ 25 دَعْنِي أَعْبُرُ لأَرَى لُبْنَانَ وَالأَرْضَ الْخَصِيبَةَ غَرْبِيَّ الأُرْدُنِّ بِتِلالِهَا الطَّيِّبَةِ».

Let me go over, I pray thee, that I may see the good land which is on the other side of the Jordan, this goodly mountain, and the Lebanon.

٢٦ 26 لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ غَضِبَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، وَلَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لِي، بَلْ قَالَ: كَفَاكَ. لَا تَعُدْ تُكَلِّمُنِي فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ.

But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and he would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; do not continue to speak unto me any more of this matter.

٢٧ 27 اصْعَدْ إِلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلِ الْفِسْجَةِ وَتَلَفَّتْ إِلَى الْغَرْبِ وَالشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ وَالشَّرْقِ وَشَاهِدِ الأَرْضَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ لَكِنْ لَنْ تَعْبُرَ إِلَى غَرْبِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

Get thee up unto the top of Pisgah, and lift up thy eyes, westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thy eyes; for thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.

٢٨ 28 إِنَّمَا يَشُوعُ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقُودُ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْسِمُ لَهُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تُشَاهِدُهَا. كَذَلِكَ أَوْصِهِ وَثَبِّتْهُ وَشَجِّعْهُ.

And do thou charge Joshua, and strengthen him, and encourage him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall divide out to them the land which thou shalt see.

٢٩ 29 وَهَكَذَا مَكَثْنَا فِي الْوَادِي مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ فَغُورَ.

And we abode in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
