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.
Filii autem Ruben et Gad habebant pecora multa, et erat illis in iumentis infinita substantia. Cumque vidissent Iazer, et Galaad aptas animalibus alendis terras,
2 So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
venerunt ad Moysen, et ad Elezarum sacerdotem, et principes multitudinis, atque dixerunt:
3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
Ataroth, et Dibon, et Iazer, et Nemra, Hesebon, et Eleale, et Saban, et Nebo, et Beon,
4 which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”
terra, quam percussit Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israel, regio uberrima est ad pastum animalium: et nos servi tui habemus iumenta plurima:
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.”
precamurque si invenimus gratiam coram te, ut des nobis famulis tuis eam in possessionem, nec facias nos transire Iordanem.
6 But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
Quibus respondit Moyses: Numquid fratres vestri ibunt ad pugnam, et vos hic sedebitis?
7 Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?
Cur subvertitis mentes filiorum Israel, ne transire audeant in locum, quem eis daturus est Dominus?
8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.
nonne ita egerunt patres vestri, quando misi de Cadesbarne ad explorandam Terram?
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.
Cumque venissent usque ad Vallem botri, lustrata omni regione, subverterunt cor filiorum Israel, ut non intrarent fines, quos eis Dominus dedit.
10 So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
Qui iratus iuravit, dicens:
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—
Si videbunt homines isti, qui ascenderunt ex Ægypto a viginti annis et supra, Terram, quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: et noluerunt sequi me,
12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’
præter Caleb filium Iephone Cenezæum, et Iosue filium Nun: isti impleverunt voluntatem meam.
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.
Iratusque Dominus adversum Israel, circumduxit eum per desertum quadraginta annis, donec consumeretur universa generatio, quæ fecerat malum in conspectu eius.
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.
Et ecce, inquit, vos surrexistis pro patribus vestris, incrementa, et alumni hominum peccatorum, ut augeretis furorem Domini contra Israel.
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.”
Quod si nolueritis sequi eum, in solitudine populum derelinquet, et vos causa eritis necis omnium.
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.
At illi prope accedentes, dixerunt: Caulas ovium fabricabimus, et stabula iumentorum, parvulis quoque nostris urbes munitas:
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.
nos autem ipsi armati et accincti pergemus ad prælium ante filios Israel, donec introducamus eos ad loca sua. Parvuli nostri, et quidquid habere possumus, erunt in urbibus muratis, propter habitatorum insidias.
18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.
Non revertemur in domos nostras, usque dum possideant filii Israel hereditatem suam:
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.”
nec quidquam quæremus trans Iordanem, quia iam habemus nostram possessionem in orientali eius plaga.
20 Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,
Quibus Moyses ait: Si facitis quod promittitis, expediti pergite coram Domino ad pugnam:
21 and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,
et omnis vir bellator armatus Iordanem transeat, donec subvertat Dominus inimicos suos,
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.
et subiiciatur ei omnis Terra: tunc eritis inculpabiles apud Dominum et apud Israel, et obtinebitis regiones, quas vultis coram Domino.
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.
Sin autem quod dicitis, non feceritis, nulli dubium est quin peccetis in Deum: et scitote quoniam peccatum vestrum apprehendet vos.
24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
Ædificate ergo urbes parvulis vestris, et caulas, et stabula ovibus ac iumentis: et quod polliciti estis implete.
25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
Dixeruntque filii Gad et Ruben ad Moysen: Servi tui sumus, faciemus quod iubet dominus noster.
26 Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
Parvulos nostros, et mulieres, et pecora, ac iumenta relinquemus in urbibus Galaad:
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.”
nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum, sicut tu domine loqueris.
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.
Præcepit ergo Moyses Eleazaro sacerdoti, et Iosue filio Nun, et principibus familiarum per tribus Israel, et dixit ad eos:
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.
Si transierint filii Gad, et filii Ruben vobiscum Iordanem omnes armati ad bellum coram Domino, et vobis fuerit Terra subiecta: date eis Galaad in possessionem.
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.”
Sin autem noluerint transire armati vobiscum in Terram Chanaan, inter vos habitandi accipiant loca.
31 The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.
Responderuntque filii Gad, et filii Ruben: Sicut locutus est Dominus servis suis, ita faciemus:
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.”
ipsi armati pergemus coram Domino in Terram Chanaan, et possessionem iam suscepisse nos confitemur trans Iordanem.
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.
Dedit itaque Moyses filiis Gad et Ruben, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse filii Ioseph regnum Sehon regis Amorrhæi, et regnum Og regis Basan, et terram eorum cum urbibus suis per circuitum.
34 And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
Igitur extruxerunt filii Gad, Dibon, et Ataroth, et Aroer,
35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
et Etroth, et Sophan, et Iazer, et Iegbaa,
36 Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.
et Bethnemra, et Betharan, urbes munitas, et caulas pecoribus suis.
37 The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
Filii vero Ruben ædificaverunt Hesebon, et Eleale, et Cariathaim,
38 as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.
et Nabo, et Baalmeon versis nominibus, Sabama quoque: imponentes vocabula urbibus, quas extruxerunt.
39 The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
Porro filii Machir filii Manasse perrexerunt in Galaad, et vastaverunt eam interfecto Amorrhæo habitatore eius.
40 So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
Dedit ergo Moyses Terram Galaad Machir filio Manasse, qui habitavit in ea.
41 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.
Iair autem filius Manasse abiit et occupavit vicos eius, quos appellavit Havoth Iair, id est, Villas Iair.
42 And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nobe quoque perrexit, et apprehendit Chanath cum viculis suis: vocavitque eam ex nomine suo Nobe.
