< Numbers 32 >

1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;
وَكَانَ لِسِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ مَوَاشٍ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدّاً. فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلُوا عَلَى أَرْضِ يَعَزِيرَ وَأَرْضِ جِلْعَادَ وَجَدُوا أَنَّهَا صَالِحَةٌ لِرَعْيِ الْمَوَاشِي.١
2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
فَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ الشَّعْبِ:٢
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
«إِنَّ أَرَاضِي عَطَارُوتَ وَدِيبُونَ وَيَعَزِيرَ وَنِمْرَةَ وَحَشْبُونَ وَأَلِعَالَةَ وَشَبَامَ وَنَبُو وَبَعُونَ٣
4 [Even] the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي أَخْضَعَهَا الرَّبُّ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ هِيَ مَرَاعٍ صَالِحَةٌ لِرَعْيِ مَوَاشِي عَبِيدِكَ.٤
5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over Jordan.
فَإِنْ حَسُنَ لَدَيْكَ، أَعْطِ هَذِهِ الأَرَاضِي لِعَبِيدِكَ مُلْكاً، وَلا تَدَعْنَا نَعْبُرُ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ».٥
6 And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لأَبْنَاءِ سِبْطَيْ جَادٍ وَرَأُوبَيْنَ: «أَيَنْطَلِقُ إِخْوَتُكُمْ لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ وَأَنْتُمْ هُنَا قَاعِدُونَ؟٦
7 And why discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
لِمَاذَا تُضْعِفُونَ قُلُوبَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ عَنِ الْعُبُورِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ؟٧
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
إِنَّ هَذَا مَا فَعَلَهُ آبَاؤُكُمْ حِينَ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا الأَرْضَ،٨
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.
فَبَعْدَ أَنْ بَلَغُوا وَادِي أَشْكُولَ وَتَجَسَّسُوا الأَرْضَ أَضْعَفُوا قُلُوبَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ عَنِ الْعُبُورِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا الرَّبُّ لَهُمْ.٩
10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
فَاحْتَدَمَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ:١٠
11 Surely none of the men that came up from 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:
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،١١
12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
مَاعَدَا كَالَبَ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ الْقِنِزِّيَّ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونٍ، لأَنَّهُمَا أَطَاعَانِي مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبَيْهِمَا.١٢
13 And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was consumed.
وَإِذِ اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَتَاهَهُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، حَتَّى فَنِيَ كُلُّ الْجِيلِ الَّذِي ارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ.١٣
14 And behold, ye have risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD towards Israel.
وَهَا أَنْتُمْ نِتَاجُ تَرْبِيَةِ قَوْمٍ خُطَاةٍ، تَرْتَكِبُونَ وِزْرَ آبَائِكُمْ، لِتَزِيدُوا مِنْ شِدَّةِ غَضَبِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ.١٤
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and he will destroy all this people.
لأَنَّكُمْ إِنْ تَخَلَّيْتُمْ عَنْ طَاعَتِهِ، يَعُودُ وَيَتْرُكُهُمْ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ وَتَكُونُونَ أَنْتُمْ سَبَبَ هَلاكِهِمْ».١٥
16 And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheep-folds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
فَاقْتَرَبُوا مِنْهُ وَقَالُوا: «سَنَبْنِي حَظَائِرَ لِمَوَاشِينَا وَمُدُناً لأَطْفَالِنَا وَنِسَائِنَا،١٦
17 But we ourselves will go ready armed 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.
أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَتَسَلَّحُ وَنَنْطَلِقُ مُسْرِعِينَ أَمَامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى يَبْلُغُوا أَمَاكِنَهُمْ بَيْنَمَا يَمْكُثُ نِسَاؤُنَا وَأَطْفَالُنَا فِي مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ تَقِيهِمْ هَجْمَاتِ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ،١٧
18 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
وَلا نَرْجِعُ إِلَى بُيُوتِنَا حَتَّى يَمْتَلِكَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ نَصِيبَهُ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ.١٨
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance hath fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.
وَإِنَّنَا لَا نَرِثُ مَعَهُمْ شَيْئاً فِي غَرْبِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، لأَنَّنَا قَدْ حَصَلْنَا عَلَى نَصِيبِنَا فِي الأَرَاضِي الْوَاقِعَةِ فِي شَرْقِيِّهِ».١٩
20 And Moses said to them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «إِنْ وَفَيْتُمْ بِعَهْدِكُمْ فَحَمَلْتُمُ السِّلاحَ لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ،٢٠
21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
وَعَبَرَ كُلُّ مُتَسَلِّحٍ مِنْكُمْ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ لِيُحَارِبَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى يَتِمَّ طَرْدُ أَعْدَائِهِ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ،٢١
22 And the land shall be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
فَتَخْضَعُ الأَرْضُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَبَعْدَهَا تَرْجِعُونَ، عِنْدَئِذٍ تَكُونُونَ أَبْرِيَاءَ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ وَعِنْدَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتُصْبِحُ هَذِهِ الأَرْضُ مُلْكاً لَكُمْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.٢٢
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ نَكَثْتُمْ بِتَعَهُّدِكُمْ فَإِنَّكُمْ تُخْطِئُونَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ. وَثِقُوا أَنَّ خَطِيئَتَكُمْ سَتُلاحِقُكُمْ.٢٣
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
ابْنُوا مُدُناً لِنِسَائِكُمْ وَأَطْفَالِكُمْ، وَحَظَائِرَ لِغَنَمِكُمْ، وَنَفِّذُوا مَا تَعَهَّدْتُمْ بِهِ».٢٤
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
فَأَجَابَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطَيْ جَادٍ وَرَأُوبَيْنَ مُوسَى: «سَيَفْعَلُ عَبِيدُكَ كَأَمْرِ سَيِّدِهِمْ،٢٥
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
إِذْ يَمْكُثُ أَطْفَالُنَا وَنِسَاؤُنَا وَمَوَاشِينَا وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِنَا فِي مُدُنِ جِلْعَادَ،٢٦
27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
بَيْنَمَا يَعْبُرُ كُلُّ مُنْخَرِطٍ فِي الْجَيْشِ مِنْ عَبِيدِكَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ لِلْحَرْبِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كَمَا أَمَرَ سَيِّدُنَا».٢٧
28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
فَأَوْصَى بِهِمْ مُوسَى أَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنَ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونٍ وَرُؤَسَاءَ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ٢٨
29 And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed for battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
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.٢٩
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ تَقَاعَسُوا عَنِ الْعُبُورِ لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ مَعَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُوَرِّثُونَهُمْ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ».٣٠
31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said to thy servants, so will we do.
فَأَجَابَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطَيْ جَادٍ وَرَأُوبَيْنَ: «كُلُّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ مِنْ نَحْوِ عَبِيدِكَ نَلْتَزِمُ بِهِ،٣١
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be] ours.
فَإِنَّنَا نَعْبُرُ بِكَامِلِ أَسْلِحَتِنَا لِنُحَارِبَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَلَكِنَّنَا لَا نَرِثُ نَصِيباً فِي غَرْبِيِّ الأُرْدُنِّ».٣٢
33 And Moses gave to them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the 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, with its cities in the borders, [even] the cities of the country around.
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.٣٣
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
فَرَمَّمَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطِ جَادٍ مُدُنَ دِيبُونَ وَعَطَاروُتَ وَعَرُوعِيرَ،٣٤
35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
وَعَطْرُوتَ شُوفَانَ وَيَعَزِيرَ وَيَجْبَهَةَ،٣٥
36 And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities: and folds for sheep.
وَبَيْتَ نِمْرَةَ وَبَيْتَ هَارَانَ، وَجَعَلُوهَا مُدُناً مُحَصَّنَةً وَبَنَوْا أَيْضاً حَظَائِرَ لِغَنَمِهِمْ.٣٦
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
وَبَنَى أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ مُدُنَ حَشْبُونَ وَأَلِعَالَةَ وَقِرْيَتَايِمَ،٣٧
38 And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Shibmah: and gave other names to the cities which they built.
وَنَبُو وَبَعْلَ مَعُونَ اللَّتَيْنِ تَمَّ تَغْيِيرُ اسْمَيْهِمَا، وَسَبْمَةَ وَأَطْلَقُوا أَسْمَاءَ أُخْرَى عَلَى الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي بَنَوْهَا.٣٨
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite who [was] in it.
وَتَوَجَّهَ أَبْنَاءُ مَاكيِرَ مِنْ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى نَحْوَ جِلْعَادَ وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَيْهَا، وَطَرَدُوا الأَمُورِيِّينَ مِنْهَا،٣٩
40 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt in it.
فَوَهَبَ مُوسَى جِلْعَادَ لِنَسْلِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى فَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا.٤٠
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns, and called them Havoth-jair.
وَاسْتَوْلَى يَائِيرُ مِنْ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى عَلَى مَزَارِعِ جِلْعَادَ، وَدَعَاهَا حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ (وَمَعْنَاهَا قُرَى يَائِيرَ).٤١
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
كَمَا انْطَلَقَ نُوبَحُ وَتَمَلَّكَ قَنَاةَ وَالْقُرَى الْمُحِيطَةَ بِها وَأَطْلَقَ عَلَيْهَا اسْمَهُ «نُوبَحَ».٤٢
