Numbers 32

1 Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that look, the place was a place for livestock;

١ وَكَانَ لِسِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ مَوَاشٍ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدّاً. فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلُوا عَلَى أَرْضِ يَعَزِيرَ وَأَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ وَجَدُوا أَنَّهَا صَالِحَةٌ لِرَعْيِ الْمَوَاشِي.

2 the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,

٢ فَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ الشَّعْبِ:

3 "Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sibmah, and Nebo, and Beon,

٣ «إِنَّ أَرَاضِي عَطَارُوتَ وَدِيبُونَ وَيَعَزِيرَ وَنِمْرَةَ وَحَشْبُونَ وَأَلِعَالَةَ وَشَبَامَ وَنَبُو وَبَعُونَ

4 the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock."

٤ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي أَخْضَعَهَا الرَّبُّ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ هِيَ مَرَاعٍ صَالِحَةٌ لِرَعْيِ مَوَاشِي عَبِيدِكَ.

5 They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over the Jordan."

٥ فَإِنْ حَسُنَ لَدَيْكَ، أَعْطِ هَذِهِ الأَرَاضِي لِعَبِيدِكَ مُلْكاً، وَلا تَدَعْنَا نَعْبُرُ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ».

6 Moses said to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here?

٦ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لأَبْنَاءِ سِبْطَيْ جَادٍ وَرَأُوبَيْنَ: «أَيَنْطَلِقُ إِخْوَتُكُمْ لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ وَأَنْتُمْ هُنَا قَاعِدُونَ؟

7 Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?

٧ لِمَاذَا تُضْعِفُونَ قُلُوبَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ عَنِ الْعُبُورِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ؟

8 Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.

٨ إِنَّ هَذَا مَا فَعَلَهُ آبَاؤُكُمْ حِينَ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا الأَرْضَ،

9 For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

٩ فَبَعْدَ أَنْ بَلَغُوا وَادِي أَشْكُولَ وَتَجَسَّسُوا الأَرْضَ أَضْعَفُوا قُلُوبَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ عَنِ الْعُبُورِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ.

10 The LORD's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying,

١٠ فَاحْتَدَمَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ:

11 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

١١ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُونِي مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَإِنَّ الرِّجَالَ مِنِ ابْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ لَنْ يَرَوْا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ أَهَبَهَا لِنَسْلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ،

12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed the LORD completely.'

١٢ مَاعَدَا كَالَبَ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ الْقِنِزِّيَّ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونٍ، لأَنَّهُمَا أَطَاعَانِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبَيْهِمَا.

13 The LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

١٣ وَإِذِ اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَتَاهَهُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، حَتَّى فَنِيَ كُلُّ الْجِيلِ الَّذِي ارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ.

14 "Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

١٤ وَهَا أَنْتُمْ نِتَاجُ تَرْبِيَةِ قَوْمٍ خُطَاةٍ، تَرْتَكِبُونَ وِزْرَ آبَائِكُمْ، لِتَزِيدُوا مِنْ شِدَّةِ غَضَبِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.

15 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people."

١٥ لأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ تَخَلَّيْتُمْ عَنْ طَاعَتِهِ، يَعُودُ وَيَتْرُكُهُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ وَتَكُونُونَ أَنْتُمْ سَبَبَ هَلاكِهِمْ».

16 They came near to him, and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones:

١٦ فَاقْتَرَبُوا مِنْهُ وَقَالُوا: «سَنَبْنِي حَظَائِرَ لِمَوَاشِينَا وَمُدُناً لأَطْفَالِنَا وَنِسَائِنَا،

17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

١٧ أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَتَسَلَّحُ وَنَنْطَلِقُ مُسْرِعِينَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى يَبْلُغُوا أَمَاكِنَهُمْ بَيْنَمَا يَمْكُثُ نِسَاؤُنَا وَأَطْفَالُنَا فِي مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ تَقِيهِمْ هَجْمَاتِ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ،

18 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

١٨ وَلا نَرْجِعُ إِلَى بُيُوتِنَا حَتَّى يَمْتَلِكَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ نَصِيبَهُ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ.

19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward."

١٩ وَإِنَّنَا لَا نَرِثُ مَعَهُمْ شَيْئاً فِي غَرْبِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، لأَنَّنَا قَدْ حَصَلْنَا عَلَى نَصِيبِنَا فِي الأَرَاضِي الْوَاقِعَةِ فِي شَرْقِيِّهِ».

20 Moses said to them, "If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,

٢٠ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «إِنْ وَفَيْتُمْ بِعَهْدِكُمْ فَحَمَلْتُمُ السِّلاحَ لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ،

21 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,

٢١ وَعَبَرَ كُلُّ مُتَسَلِّحٍ مِنْكُمْ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ لِيُحَارِبَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى يَتِمَّ طَرْدُ أَعْدَائِهِ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ،

22 and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards the LORD, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the LORD.

٢٢ فَتَخْضَعُ الأَرْضُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَبَعْدَهَا تَرْجِعُونَ، عِنْدَئِذٍ تَكُونُونَ أَبْرِيَاءَ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ وَعِنْدَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتُصْبِحُ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ مُلْكاً لَكُمْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

23 "But if you will not do so, look, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.

٢٣ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ نَكَثْتُمْ بِتَعَهُّدِكُمْ فَإِنَّكُمْ تُخْطِئُونَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ. وَثِقُوا أَنَّ خَطِيئَتَكُمْ سَتُلاحِقُكُمْ.

24 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."

٢٤ ابْنُوا مُدُناً لِنِسَائِكُمْ وَأَطْفَالِكُمْ، وَحَظَائِرَ لِغَنَمِكُمْ، وَنَفِّذُوا مَا تَعَهَّدْتُمْ بِهِ».

25 The people of Gad and the people of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do as my lord commands.

٢٥ فَأَجَابَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطَيْ جَادٍ وَرَأُوبَيْنَ مُوسَى: «سَيَفْعَلُ عَبِيدُكَ كَأَمْرِ سَيِّدِهِمْ،

26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;

٢٦ إِذْ يَمْكُثُ أَطْفَالُنَا وَنِسَاؤُنَا وَمَوَاشِينَا وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِنَا فِي مُدُنِ جِلْعَادَ،

27 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says."

٢٧ بَيْنَمَا يَعْبُرُ كُلُّ مُنْخَرِطٍ فِي الْجَيْشِ مِنْ عَبِيدِكَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ لِلْحَرْبِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كَمَا أَمَرَ سَيِّدُنَا».

28 So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.

٢٨ فَأَوْصَى بِهِمْ مُوسَى أَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنَ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونٍ وَرُؤَسَاءَ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ

29 Moses said to them, "If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you; then you are to give them the land of Gilead for a possession.

٢٩ قَائِلاً: «إِنْ عَبَرَ مَعَكُمْ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ كُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ لِلْحَرْبِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الرَّبِّ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ سِبْطَيْ جَادٍ وَرَأُوبَيْنَ، وَتَمَّ الاسْتِيلاءُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، تُوَرِّثُونَهُمْ أَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ مُلْكاً.

30 But if they will not pass over with you armed to battle before the LORD, then you are to bring over their children and their wives and their flocks before you into the land of Canaan, and they are to have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."

٣٠ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ تَقَاعَسُوا عَنِ الْعُبُورِ لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ مَعَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُوَرِّثُونَهُمْ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ».

31 The people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, saying, "As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.

٣١ فَأَجَابَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطَيْ جَادٍ وَرَأُوبَيْنَ: «كُلُّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ مِنْ نَحْوِ عَبِيدِكَ نَلْتَزِمُ بِهِ،

32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan."

٣٢ فَإِنَّنَا نَعْبُرُ بِكَامِلِ أَسْلِحَتِنَا لِنُحَارِبَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَلَكِنَّنَا لَا نَرِثُ نَصِيباً فِي غَرْبِيِّ الأُرْدُنِّ».

33 Moses gave to them, even to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.

٣٣ فَوَهَبَ مُوسَى أَبْنَاءَ سِبْطَيْ جَادٍ وَرَأُوبَيْنَ وَأَبْنَاءَ نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ مَمْلَكَةَ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ، وَمَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ بِمَا فِيهِمَا مِنْ أَرَاضٍ وَمُدُنٍ وَاقِعَةٍ ضِمْنَ حُدُودِهِمَا.

34 The people of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

٣٤ فَرَمَّمَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطِ جَادٍ مُدُنَ دِيبُونَ وَعَطَاروُتَ وَعَرُوعِيرَ،

35 and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,

٣٥ وَعَطْرُوتَ شُوفَانَ وَيَعَزِيرَ وَيَجْبَهَةَ،

36 and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep.

٣٦ وَبَيْتَ نِمْرَةَ وَبَيْتَ هَارَانَ، وَجَعَلُوهَا مُدُناً مُحَصَّنَةً وَبَنَوْا أَيْضاً حَظَائِرَ لِغَنَمِهِمْ.

37 The people of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,

٣٧ وَبَنَى أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ مُدُنَ حَشْبُونَ وَأَلِعَالَةَ وَقِرْيَتَايِمَ،

38 and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built.

٣٨ وَنَبُو وَبَعْلَ مَعُونَ اللَّتَيْنِ تَمَّ تَغْيِيرُ اسْمَيْهِمَا، وَسَبْمَةَ وَأَطْلَقُوا أَسْمَاءَ أُخْرَى عَلَى الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي بَنَوْهَا.

39 The descendants of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.

٣٩ وَتَوَجَّهَ أَبْنَاءُ مَاكيِرَ مِنْ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى نَحْوَ جِلْعَادَ وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا، وَطَرَدُوا الأَمُورِيِّينَ مِنْهَا،

40 Moses gave Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh; and he lived in it.

٤٠ فَوَهَبَ مُوسَى جِلْعَادَ لِنَسْلِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى فَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا.

41 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns, and called them Havvoth Jair.

٤١ وَاسْتَوْلَى يَائِيرُ مِنْ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى عَلَى مَزَارِعِ جِلْعَادَ، وَدَعَاهَا حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ (وَمَعْنَاهَا قُرَى يَائِيرَ).

42 Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

٤٢ كَمَا انْطَلَقَ نُوبَحُ وَتَمَلَّكَ قَنَاةَ وَالْقُرَى الْمُحِيطَةَ بِها وَأَطْلَقَ عَلَيْهَا اسْمَهُ «نُوبَحَ».
