Deuteronomy 3

1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan. Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

١ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَاتَّجَهْنَا نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ، فَخَرَجَ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ لِمُحَارَبَتِنَا بِكَامِلِ جَيْشِهِ، فِي إذْرَعِي.

2 Yahweh said to me, “Don’t fear him; for I have delivered him, with all his people and his land, into your hand. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”

٢ فَقَالَ لِي الرَّبُّ: «لا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ. قَدْ نَصَرْتُكَ عَلَيْهِ مَعَ سَائِرِ جَيْشِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ، فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلْتَ بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِي كَانَ مُقِيماً فِي حَشْبُونَ.»

3 So Yahweh our God also delivered into our hand Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. We struck him until no one was left to him remaining.

٣ فَحَقَّقَ لَنَا إِلَهُنَا النَّصْرَ أَيْضاً عَلَى عُوجٍ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ وَعَلَى سَائِرِ جَيْشِهِ، فَهَزَمْنَاهُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ،

4 We took all his cities at that time. There was not a city which we didn’t take from them: sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

٤ وَاسْتَوْلَيْنَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ مُدُنِهِ وَكُلِّ قُرَاهُ. فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا سِتِّينَ مَدِينَةً مُنْتَشِرَةً فِي كُلِّ مِنْطَقَةِ أَرْجُوبَ الَّتِي تُشَكِّلُ مَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

5 All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, in addition to a great many villages without walls.

٥ وَكَانَتْ جَمِيعُ هَذِهِ مُدُناً مُحَصَّنَةً بِالأَسْوَارِ الْعَالِيَةِ وَالأَبْوَابِ وَالْمَزَالِيجِ، فَضْلاً عَنْ قُرَى الصَّحْرَاءِ الْكَثِيرَةِ.

6 We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones.

٦ فَدَمَّرْنَاهَا كَمَا فَعَلْنَا بِمُدُنِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ، وَقَضَيْنَا عَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالأَطْفَالِ.

7 But all the livestock, and the plunder of the cities, we took for plunder for ourselves.

٧ وَلَكِنَّنَا غَنِمْنَا لأَنْفُسِنَا كُلَّ الْبَهَائِمِ وَأَسْلابِ الْمُدُنِ.

8 We took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon.

٨ وَأَخَذْنَا حِينَئِذٍ مِنْ أَيْدِي مَلِكَيِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الأَرْضَ الْوَاقِعَةَ شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ مِنْ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ حَتَّى جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ.

9 (The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir.)

٩ وَيَدْعُو الصِّيدُونِيُّونَ جَبَلَ حَرْمُونَ «سِرْيُونَ». أَمَّا الأَمُورِيُّونَ فَيَدْعُونَهُ «سَنِيرَ».

10 We took all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

١٠ وَهَكَذَا اسْتَوْلَيْنَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ السَّهْلِ وَسَائِرِ جِلْعَادَ وَبَاشَانَ إِلَى سَلْخَةَ وَإِذْرَعِي مَدِينَتَيْ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

11 (For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. Behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? Nine cubits was its length, and four cubits its width, after the cubit of a man.)

١١ وَكَانَ عُوجٌ آخِرَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ الرَّفَائِيِّينَ. وَكَانَ سَرِيرُهُ مَصْنُوعاً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَلا يَزَالُ مَحْفُوظاً فِي (مُتْحَفِ) رَبَّةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ. طُولُهُ تِسْعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَعَرْضُهُ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ مِتْرَيْنِ).

12 This land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites;

١٢ وَقَدِ امْتَلَكْنَا آنَئِذٍ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ، فَأَعْطَيْتُ لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْجَادِيِّينَ بِلادَ عَرُوعِيرَ الْوَاقِعَةَ عَلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَنِصْفَ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ.

13 and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh—all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim.

١٣ كَمَا أَعْطَيْتُ لِنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى بَقِيَّةَ جِلْعَادَ، وَكُلَّ مِنْطَقَةِ أَرْجُوبَ وَبَاشَانَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُشَكِّلُ مَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ، وَهِيَ تُدْعَى أَيْضاً أَرْضَ الرَّفَائِيِّينَ.

14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.)

١٤ فَأَخَذَ يَائِيرُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ مَنَسَّى جَمِيعَ مِنْطَقَةِ أَرْجُوبَ حَتَّى حُدُودِ الْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَالْمَعْكِيِّينَ، وَأَطْلَقَ اسْمَهُ عَلَى أَرْضِ بَاشَانَ، فَدَعَاهَا حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ (وَمَعْنَاهَا قُرَى يَائِيرَ) إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

15 I gave Gilead to Machir.

١٥ كَذَلِكَ أَعْطَيْتُ مَاكِيرَ جِلْعَادَ.

16 To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and its border, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;

١٦ أَمَّا الرَّأُوبَيْنِيُّونَ وَالْجَادِيُّونَ فَقَدْ مَلَّكْتُهُمُ الْمِنْطَقَةَ الْمُمْتَدَّةَ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ حَتَّى مُنْتَصَفِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، حَيْثُ تَنْتَهِي حُدُودُهُمْ. وَكَذَلِكَ إِلَى وَادِي يَبُّوقَ الْمُتَاخِمِ لِحُدُودِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

17 the Arabah also, and the Jordan and its border, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.

١٧ كَمَا امْتَدَّتْ حُدُودُهُمْ إِلَى الْغَرْبِ حَتَّى نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ فِي وَادِي الْعَرَبَةِ، مِنْ كِنَّارَةَ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ الْمَيِّتِ تَحْتَ سُفُوحِ جَبَلِ الْفِسْجَةِ شَرْقاً.

18 I commanded you at that time, saying, “Yahweh your God has given you this land to possess it. All of you men of valor shall pass over armed before your brothers, the children of Israel.

١٨ وَأَمَرْتُ سِبْطَيْ رَأُوبَيْنَ وَجَادٍ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى قَائِلاً: قَدْ أَوْرَثَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا. فَلْيَعْبُرْ أَبْطَالُكُمْ مُدَجَّجِينَ بِالسِّلاحِ فِي طَلِيعَةِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your livestock, (I know that you have much livestock), shall live in your cities which I have given you,

١٩ وَلْتَمْكُثْ نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ، الَّتِي أَعْلَمُ كَثْرَتَهَا، فِي مُدُنِكُمُ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَكُمْ

20 until Yahweh gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also possess the land which Yahweh your God gives them beyond the Jordan. Then you shall each return to his own possession, which I have given you.”

٢٠ إِلَى أَنْ يَمْتَلِكَ إِخْوَتُكُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي يُوَرِّثُهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ لَهُمْ غَرْبِيَّ الأُرْدُنِّ وَيُرِيحُهُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ. ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ كُلٌّ مِنْكُمْ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ الَّذِي وَهَبْتُهُ لَهُ.

21 I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to these two kings. So shall Yahweh do to all the kingdoms where you go over.

٢١ وَقُلْتُ حِينَذَاكَ لِيَشُوعَ: «لَقَدْ شَهِدَتْ عَيْنَاكَ مَا أَنْزَلَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِهَذَيْنِ الْمَلِكَيْنِ، فَإِنَّهُ هَكَذَا سَيَصْنَعُ بِجَمِيعِ الْمَمَالِكِ الَّتِي أَنْتَ عَابِرٌ إِلَيْهَا.

22 You shall not fear them; for Yahweh your God himself fights for you.”

٢٢ لَا تَجْزَعُوا مِنْهُمْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ يُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ».

23 I begged Yahweh at that time, saying,

٢٣ وَتَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ قَائِلاً:

24 “Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or in earth that can do works like yours, and mighty acts like yours?

٢٤ «يَا سَيِّدُ هَا أَنْتَ قَدِ ابْتَدَأْتَ تُعْلِنُ لِعَبْدِكَ عَظَمَتَكَ وَقُوَّةَ قُدْرَتِكَ فَأَيُّ إِلَهٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى الأَرْضِ يُجْرِي مِثْلَ أَعْمَالِكَ وَجَبَرُوتِكَ.

25 Please let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that fine mountain, and Lebanon.”

٢٥ دَعْنِي أَعْبُرُ لأَرَى لُبْنَانَ وَالأَرْضَ الْخَصِيبَةَ غَرْبِيَّ الأُرْدُنِّ بِتِلالِهَا الطَّيِّبَةِ».

26 But Yahweh was angry with me because of you, and didn’t listen to me. Yahweh said to me, “That is enough! Speak no more to me of this matter.

٢٦ لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ غَضِبَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، وَلَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لِي، بَلْ قَالَ: كَفَاكَ. لَا تَعُدْ تُكَلِّمُنِي فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ.

27 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shall not go over this Jordan.

٢٧ اصْعَدْ إِلَى قِمَّةِ جَبَلِ الْفِسْجَةِ وَتَلَفَّتْ إِلَى الْغَرْبِ وَالشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ وَالشَّرْقِ وَشَاهِدِ الأَرْضَ بِعَيْنَيْكَ لَكِنْ لَنْ تَعْبُرَ إِلَى غَرْبِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

28 But commission Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.”

٢٨ إِنَّمَا يَشُوعُ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقُودُ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْسِمُ لَهُمُ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تُشَاهِدُهَا. كَذَلِكَ أَوْصِهِ وَثَبِّتْهُ وَشَجِّعْهُ.

29 So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.

٢٩ وَهَكَذَا مَكَثْنَا فِي الْوَادِي مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ فَغُورَ.
