< Deuteronomy 3 >

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.
Itaque conversi ascendimus per iter Basan: egressusque est Og rex Basan in occursum nobis cum populo suo ad bellandum in Edrai.
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.”
Dixitque Dominus ad me: Ne timeas eum: quia in manu tua traditus est cum omni populo ac terra sua: faciesque ei sicut fecisti Sehon regi Amorrhæorum, qui habitavit in Hesebon.
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.
Tradidit ergo Dominus Deus noster in manibus nostris etiam Og regem Basan, et universum populum eius: percussimusque eos usque ad internecionem,
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.
vastantes cunctas civitates illius uno tempore. non fuit oppidum, quod nos effugeret: sexaginta urbes, omnem regionem Argob regni Og in Basan.
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.
Cunctæ urbes erant munitæ muris altissimis, portisque et vectibus, absque oppidis innumeris, quæ non habebant muros.
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.
Et delevimus eos, sicut feceramus Sehon regi Hesebon, disperdentes omnem civitatem, virosque ac mulieres et parvulos:
7 But we took for ourselves all the livestock and plunder from the towns.
iumenta autem et spolia urbium diripuimus.
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.
Tulimusque illo in tempore terram de manu duorum regum Amorrhæorum, qui erant trans Iordanem: a torrente Arnon usque ad montem Hernon,
9 (Mount Hermon is called Sirion by the Sidonians and Senir by the Amorites.)
quem Sidonii Sarion vocant, et Amorrhæi Sanir:
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.
omnes civitates, quæ sitæ sunt in planitie, et universam Terram Galaad et Basan usque ad Selcha, et Edrai civitates regni Og in Basan.
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.)
Solus quippe Og rex Basan restiterat de stirpe gigantum. Monstratur lectus eius ferreus, qui est in Rabbath filiorum Ammon, novem cubitos habens longitudinis, et quattuor latitudinis ad mensuram cubiti virilis manus.
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.
Terramque possedimus tempore illo ab Aroer, quæ est super ripam torrentis Arnon, usque ad mediam partem montis Galaad: et civitates illius dedi Ruben et Gad.
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.)
Reliquam autem partem Galaad, et omnem Basan regni Og, tradidi mediæ tribui Manasse, omnem regionem Argob: cunctaque Basan vocatur Terra gigantum.
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.
Iair filius Manasse possedit omnem regionem Argob usque ad terminos Gessuri, et Machati. Vocavitque ex nomine suo Basan, Havoth Iair, id est, Villas Iair, usque in præsentem diem.
15 I assigned the rest of Gilead to the descendants of Machir,
Machir quoque dedi Galaad.
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.
Et tribubus Ruben et Gad dedi de Terra Galaad usque ad Torrentem Arnon medium torrentis, et confinium usque ad torrentem Ieboc, qui est terminus filiorum Ammon:
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.
et planitiem solitudinis, atque Iordanem, et terminos Cenereth usque ad mare deserti, quod est salsissimum, ad radices montis Phasga contra orientem.
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.
Præcepique vobis in tempore illo, dicens: Dominus Deus vester dat vobis terram hanc in hereditatem: expediti præcedite fratres vestros filios Israel omnes viri robusti:
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,
absque uxoribus, et parvulis atque iumentis. Novi enim quod plura habeatis pecora, et in urbibus remanere debebunt, quas tradidi vobis,
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.”
donec requiem tribuat Dominus fratribus vestris, sicut vobis tribuit: et possideant ipsi etiam Terram, quam daturus est eis trans Iordanem: tunc revertetur unusquisque in possessionem suam, quam dedi vobis.
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.
Iosue quoque in tempore illo præcepi, dicens: Oculi tui viderunt quæ fecit Dominus Deus vester duobus his regibus: sic faciet omnibus regnis, ad quæ transiturus es.
22 Don't be afraid of them, for the Lord your God himself will be fighting on your side.”
Ne timeas eos: Dominus enim Deus vester pugnabit pro vobis.
23 This was also the time I pleaded with the Lord, saying,
Precatusque sum Dominum in tempore illo, dicens:
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?
Domine Deus tu cœpisti ostendere servo tuo magnitudinem tuam, manumque fortissimam. neque enim est alius Deus vel in cælo, vel in terra, qui possit facere opera tua, et comparari fortitudini tuæ.
25 Please, let me cross over the Jordan and see the good land there, the beautiful hills, and the mountains of Lebanon!”
Transibo igitur, et videbo Terram hanc optimam trans Iordanem, et montem istum egregium, et Libanum.
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.
Iratusque est Dominus mihi propter vos, nec exaudivit me, sed dixit mihi: Sufficit tibi: nequaquam ultra loquaris de hac re ad me.
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.
Ascende cacumen Phasgæ, et oculos tuos circumfer ad occidentem, et ad aquilonem, austrumque et orientem, et aspice. nec enim transibis Iordanem istum.
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.”
Præcipe Iosue, et corrobora eum atque conforta: quia ipse præcedet populum istum, et dividet eis Terram, quam visurus es.
29 So we remained there in the valley near Beth-peor.
Mansimusque in valle contra fanum Phogor.
