Numbers 32
1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and they saw the land of Ya'zer, and the land of Gil'ad, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle.
Filii autem Ruben et Gad habebant pecora multa, et erat illis in jumentis infinita substantia. Cumque vidissent Jazer et Galaad aptas animalibus alendis terras,
2 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came, and said unto Moses, and unto Elazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, as followeth,
venerunt ad Moysen, et ad Elezarum sacerdotem, et principes multitudinis, atque dixerunt:
3 'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Ya'zer, and Nimrah, and Cheshbon, and El'aleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Be'on,
Ataroth, et Dibon, et Jazer, et Nemra, Hesebon, et Eleale, et Saban, et Nebo, et Beon,
4 The country which the Lord hath smitten before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle; and thy servants have cattle.
terra, quam percussit Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israël, regio uberrima est ad pastum animalium: et nos servi tui habemus jumenta plurima,
5 And they said, If we have found grace in thy eyes, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession: do not compel us to go over the Jordan.
precamurque si invenimus gratiam coram te, ut des nobis famulis tuis eam in possessionem, nec facias nos transire Jordanem.
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad, and unto the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to the war, and will ye sit here?
Quibus respondit Moyses: Numquid fratres vestri ibunt ad pugnam, et vos hic sedebitis?
7 And wherefore will you turn aside the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath given them?
cur subvertitis mentes filiorum Israël, ne transire audeant in locum, quem eis daturus est Dominus?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea' to see the land.
Nonne ita egerunt patres vestri, quando misi de Cadesbarne ad explorandam terram?
9 For they went up as far as the valley of Eshcol, and they saw the land, and then they turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, so that they would not go into the land which the Lord had given them.
cumque venissent usque ad Vallem botri, lustrata omni regione, subverterunt cor filiorum Israël, ut non intrarent fines, quos eis Dominus dedit.
10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled on that day, and he swore, saying,
Qui iratus juravit, dicens:
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
Si videbunt homines isti, qui ascenderunt ex Ægypto a viginti annis et supra, terram, quam sub juramento pollicitus sum Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob: et noluerunt sequi me,
12 Save Caleb the son of Yephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed the Lord.
præter Caleb filium Jephone Cenezæum, et Josue filium Nun: isti impleverunt voluntatem meam.
13 And the anger of the Lord was thus kindled against Israel, and he made them wander about in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation was spent, that had done the evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Iratusque Dominus adversum Israël, circumduxit eum per desertum quadraginta annis, donec consumeretur universa generatio, quæ fecerat malum in conspectu ejus.
14 And now, behold, ye are risen up in your father's stead, a new race of sinful men, to augment yet more the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel.
Et ecce, inquit, vos surrexistis pro patribus vestris, incrementa et alumni hominum peccatorum, ut augeretis furorem Domini contra Israël.
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet longer leave them in the wilderness; and ye will thus be destruction to all this people.
Quod si nolueritis sequi eum, in solitudine populum derelinquet, et vos causa eritis necis omnium.
16 And they came near unto him, and said, Sheepfolds will we build for our cattle here, and cities for our little ones;
At illi prope accedentes, dixerunt: Caulas ovium fabricabimus, et stabula jumentorum, parvulis quoque nostris urbes munitas:
17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until that we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.
nos autem ipsi armati et accincti pergemus ad prælium ante filios Israël, donec introducamus eos ad loca sua. Parvuli nostri, et quidquid habere possumus, erunt in urbibus muratis, propter habitatorum insidias.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have acquired for themselves every man his inheritance.
Non revertemur in domos nostras, usque dum possideant filii Israël hæreditatem suam:
19 For we will not take possession with them on the other side of the Jordan, and farther on: when our inheritance hath come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.
nec quidquam quæremus trans Jordanem, quia jam habemus nostram possessionem in orientali ejus plaga.
20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will arm yourselves before the Lord for the war;
Quibus Moyses ait: Si facitis quod promittitis, expediti pergite coram Domino ad pugnam:
21 And every armed man of you will go over the Jordan before the Lord, until he have driven out his enemies from before him;
et omnis vir bellator armatus Jordanem transeat, donec subvertat Dominus inimicos suos,
22 And when, only after the land hath been subdued before the Lord, ye will return, and ye be thus guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel: then shall this land be yours for a possession before the Lord.
et subjiciatur ei omnis terra: tunc eritis inculpabiles apud Dominum et apud Israël, et obtinebitis regiones, quas vultis, coram Domino.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord; and ye shall experience the punishment of your sin which will overtake you.
Sin autem quod dicitis, non feceritis, nulli dubium est quin peccetis in Deum: et scitote quoniam peccatum vestrum apprehendet vos.
24 Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks; and that which hath proceeded out of your mouth shall ye do.
Ædificate ergo urbes parvulis vestris, et caulas, et stabula ovibus ac jumentis: et quod polliciti estis, implete.
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said unto Moses, as followeth, Thy servants will do as my Lord commandeth.
Dixeruntque filii Gad et Ruben ad Moysen: Servi tui sumus: faciemus quod jubet dominus noster.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall remain there in the cities of Gil'ad;
Parvulos nostros, et mulieres, et pecora, ac jumenta relinquemus in urbibus Galaad:
27 But thy servants will pass over, every one that is armed for the army, before the Lord, to the war, as my Lord speaketh.
nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum, sicut tu, domine, loqueris.
28 And Moses commanded concerning them Elazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes of the children of Israel;
Præcepit ergo Moyses Eleazaro sacerdoti, et Josue filio Nun, et principibus familiarum per tribus Israël, et dixit ad eos:
29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben do pass with you over the Jordan, every one that is armed for the war, before the Lord, and the land shall be subdued before you: then shall ye give to them the land of Gil'ad for a possession;
Si transierint filii Gad et filii Ruben vobiscum Jordanem omnes armati ad bellum coram Domino, et vobis fuerit terra subjecta, date eis Galaad in possessionem.
30 But if they should not pass over armed with you, they shall take possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
Sin autem noluerint transire armati vobiscum in terram Chanaan, inter vos habitandi accipiant loca.
31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, That which the Lord hath spoken concerning thy servants, even so will we do.
Responderuntque filii Gad et filii Ruben: Sicut locutus est Dominus servis suis, ita faciemus:
32 We will indeed pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, while ours remaineth the possession of our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.
ipsi armati pergemus coram Domino in terram Chanaan, et possessionem jam suscepisse nos confitemur trans Jordanem.
33 And Moses gave unto them, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Menasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sichon, the king of the Emorites, and the kingdom of 'Og, the king of Bashan, the land, with its cities within the boundaries, the cities of the country round about.
Dedit itaque Moyses filiis Gad et Ruben, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse filii Joseph, regnum Sehon regis Amorrhæi, et regnum Og regis Basan, et terram eorum cum urbibus suis per circuitum.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and 'Ataroth, and 'Aro'er,
Igitur exstruxerunt filii Gad, Dibon, et Ataroth, et Aroër,
35 And 'Atroth-shophan, and Ya'zer, and Yogbehah.
et Etroth, et Sophan, et Jazer, et Jegbaa,
36 And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities, and folds for flocks,
et Bethnemra, et Betharan, urbes munitas, et caulas pecoribus suis.
37 And the children of Reuben built Cheshbon, and El'aleh, and Kiryathayim,
Filii vero Ruben ædificaverunt Hesebon, et Eleale, et Cariathaim,
38 And Nebo, and Ba'al-me'on [their names being changed], and Shibmah; and they gave the former names unto the cities which they built.
et Nabo, et Baalmeon versis nominibus, Sabama quoque: imponentes vocabula urbibus, quas exstruxerunt.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Menasseh went to Gil'ad, and conquered it, and dispossessed the Emorites who were in it.
Porro filii Machir filii Manasse, perrexerunt in Galaad, et vastaverunt eam interfecto Amorrhæo habitatore ejus.
40 And Moses gave Gil'ad unto Machir the son of Menasseh; and he dwelt therein.
Dedit ergo Moyses terram Galaad Machir filio Manasse, qui habitavit in ea.
41 And Yair the son of Menasseh went and conquered the small towns thereof, and called them Chavoth-yair.
Jair autem filius Manasse abiit, et occupavit vicos ejus, quos appellavit Havoth Jair, id est, Villas Jair.
42 And Nobach went and conquered Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobach, after his own name.
Nobe quoque perrexit, et apprehendit Chanath cum viculis suis: vocavitque eam ex nomine suo Nobe.
