Numbers 32
1 Now the descendants of Reuben and of Gad had large numbers of livestock. When they saw the land of Jazer and Gilead, the land was a wonderful place 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 descendants of Gad and Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the community. They said,
venerunt ad Moysen, et ad Elezarum sacerdotem, et principes multitudinis, atque dixerunt:
3 “This is a list of places we have surveyed: 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 These are the lands that Yahweh attacked before the community of Israel, and they are good places for livestock. We, your servants, have a lot of livestock.”
terra, quam percussit Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israel, regio uberrima est ad pastum animalium: et nos servi tui habemus iumenta plurima:
5 They said, “If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to us, your servants, as a possession. Do not make us cross over the Jordan.”
precamurque si invenimus gratiam coram te, ut des nobis famulis tuis eam in possessionem, nec facias nos transire Iordanem.
6 Moses replied to the descendants of Gad and Reuben, “Should your brothers go to war while you settle down here?
Quibus respondit Moyses: Numquid fratres vestri ibunt ad pugnam, et vos hic sedebitis?
7 Why discourage the hearts of the people of Israel from going over into the land that Yahweh has given them?
Cur subvertitis mentes filiorum Israel, ne transire audeant in locum, quem eis daturus est Dominus?
8 Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to examine the land.
nonne ita egerunt patres vestri, quando misi de Cadesbarne ad explorandam Terram?
9 They went up to the Valley of Eshkol. They saw the land and then discouraged the hearts of the people of Israel so that they refused to enter the land that Yahweh 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 Yahweh's anger was kindled on that day. He took an oath and said,
Qui iratus iuravit, dicens:
11 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and up, will see the land about which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not completely followed me, except for
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 Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua son of Nun. Only Caleb and Joshua have completely followed me.'
præter Caleb filium Iephone Cenezæum, et Iosue filium Nun: isti impleverunt voluntatem meam.
13 So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Israel. He made them wander around in the wilderness for forty years until all the generation who had done evil in his sight was destroyed.
Iratusque Dominus adversum Israel, circumduxit eum per desertum quadraginta annis, donec consumeretur universa generatio, quæ fecerat malum in conspectu eius.
14 Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, like just more sinful men, to add to Yahweh's burning anger toward Israel.
Et ecce, inquit, vos surrexistis pro patribus vestris, incrementa, et alumni hominum peccatorum, ut augeretis furorem Domini contra Israel.
15 If you turn away from following him, he will again leave Israel in the wilderness and you will have destroyed all this people.”
Quod si nolueritis sequi eum, in solitudine populum derelinquet, et vos causa eritis necis omnium.
16 So they came near Moses and said, “Allow us to build fences here for our cattle and cities for our families.
At illi prope accedentes, dixerunt: Caulas ovium fabricabimus, et stabula iumentorum, parvulis quoque nostris urbes munitas:
17 However, we ourselves will be ready and armed to go with Israel's army until we have led them into their place. But our families will live in the fortified cities because of the other people who still live in this 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 houses until every one of the people of Israel has obtained his inheritance.
Non revertemur in domos nostras, usque dum possideant filii Israel hereditatem suam:
19 We will not inherit the land with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance is here on the east side of the Jordan.”
nec quidquam quæremus trans Iordanem, quia iam habemus nostram possessionem in orientali eius plaga.
20 So Moses replied to them, “If you do what you say, if you arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to war,
Quibus Moyses ait: Si facitis quod promittitis, expediti pergite coram Domino ad pugnam:
21 then every one of your armed men must cross over the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has driven out his enemies from before him
et omnis vir bellator armatus Iordanem transeat, donec subvertat Dominus inimicos suos,
22 and the land is subdued before him. Then afterward you may return. You will be guiltless toward Yahweh and toward Israel. This land will be your possession before Yahweh.
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 so, look, you will have sinned against Yahweh. Be sure 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 families and pens for your sheep; then do what you have said.”
Ædificate ergo urbes parvulis vestris, et caulas, et stabula ovibus ac iumentis: et quod polliciti estis implete.
25 The descendants of Gad and Reuben spoke to Moses and said, “Your servants will do as you, our master, commands.
Dixeruntque filii Gad et Ruben ad Moysen: Servi tui sumus, faciemus quod iubet dominus noster.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will stay there in the cities of Gilead.
Parvulos nostros, et mulieres, et pecora, ac iumenta relinquemus in urbibus Galaad:
27 However, we, your servants, will cross over before Yahweh to battle, every man who is armed for war, as you, our master, say.”
nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum, sicut tu domine loqueris.
28 So Moses gave instructions concerning them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the leaders of the ancestor's clans in the tribes of the people of Israel.
Præcepit ergo Moyses Eleazaro sacerdoti, et Iosue filio Nun, et principibus familiarum per tribus Israel, et dixit ad eos:
29 Moses said to them, “If the descendants of Gad and Reuben cross over the Jordan with you, every man who is armed to battle before Yahweh, and if the land is subdued before you, then you will 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 cross over with you armed, then they will acquire their possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”
Sin autem noluerint transire armati vobiscum in Terram Chanaan, inter vos habitandi accipiant loca.
31 So the descendants of Gad and Reuben answered and said, “As Yahweh has said to us, your servants, this is what we will do.
Responderuntque filii Gad, et filii Ruben: Sicut locutus est Dominus servis suis, ita faciemus:
32 We will cross over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, but our possessed inheritance will remain with us on this side of the Jordan.”
ipsi armati pergemus coram Domino in Terram Chanaan, et possessionem iam suscepisse nos confitemur trans Iordanem.
33 So to the descendants of Gad and Reuben, and also to the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, Moses gave the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and of Og, king of Bashan. He gave to them the land, and distributed to them all its cities with their borders, the cities of the land around 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 The descendants of Gad rebuilt 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 with pens for sheep.
et Bethnemra, et Betharan, urbes munitas, et caulas pecoribus suis.
37 The descendants of Reuben rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
Filii vero Ruben ædificaverunt Hesebon, et Eleale, et Cariathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Meon—their names were later changed, and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities that 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 and took it away from the Amorites who were in it.
Porro filii Machir filii Manasse perrexerunt in Galaad, et vastaverunt eam interfecto Amorrhæo habitatore eius.
40 Then Moses gave Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and his people settled there.
Dedit ergo Moyses Terram Galaad Machir filio Manasse, qui habitavit in ea.
41 Jair son of Manasseh went and captured its towns and called them Havvoth Jair.
Iair autem filius Manasse abiit et occupavit vicos eius, quos appellavit Havoth Iair, id est, Villas Iair.
42 Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nobe quoque perrexit, et apprehendit Chanath cum viculis suis: vocavitque eam ex nomine suo Nobe.
