Numbers 32
1 Forsothe the sones of Ruben and of Gad hadden many beestis, and catel with out noumbre was to hem, in werk beestis. And whanne thei hadden seyn Jazer and Galaad, couenable londis to beestis to be fed,
吕便子孙和迦得子孙的牲畜极其众多；他们看见雅谢地和基列地是可牧放牲畜之地，
2 thei camen to Moyses and Eleazar, preest, and to the princes of the multitude, and seiden,
就来见摩西和祭司以利亚撒，并会众的首领，说：
3 Astaroth, and Dibon, and Jacer, and Nemra, Esebon, and Eleale, and Sabam,
“亚大录、底本、雅谢、宁拉、希实本、以利亚利、示班、尼波、比稳，
4 and Nebo, and Beon, the lond which the Lord smoot in the siyt of the sones of Israel, is of moost plenteuous cuntrey to the pasture of beestis; and we thi seruauntis han ful many beestis;
就是耶和华在以色列会众前面所攻取之地，是可牧放牲畜之地，你仆人也有牲畜”；
5 and we preyen, if we han founde grace bifor thee, that thou yyue to vs thi seruauntis that cuntrey in to possessioun, and make not vs to passe Jordan.
又说：“我们若在你眼前蒙恩，求你把这地给我们为业，不要领我们过约旦河。”
6 To whiche Moises answeride, Whether youre britheren schulen go to batel, and ye schulen sitte here?
摩西对迦得子孙和吕便子孙说：“难道你们的弟兄去打仗，你们竟坐在这里吗？
7 Whi peruerten ye the soulis of Israel, that thei doren not passe in to the place, which the Lord schal yyue to hem?
你们为何使以色列人灰心丧胆、不过去进入耶和华所赐给他们的那地呢？
8 Whether youre fadris diden not so, whanne Y sente fro Cades Barne to aspie the lond,
我先前从加低斯·巴尼亚打发你们先祖去窥探那地，他们也是这样行。
9 and whanne thei camen to the valey of Clustre, whanne al the cuntrey was cumpassid, thei peruertiden the herte of the sones of Israel, that thei entriden not in to the coostis, whiche the Lord yaf to hem.
他们上以实各谷，去窥探那地回来的时候，使以色列人灰心丧胆，不进入耶和华所赐给他们的地。
10 And the Lord was wrooth, and swoor,
当日，耶和华的怒气发作，就起誓说：
11 seiynge, Thes men that stieden fro Egipt, fro twenti yeer and aboue, schulen not se the lond which Y bihiyte vndur an ooth to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and nolden sue me,
‘凡从埃及上来、二十岁以外的人断不得看见我对亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许之地，因为他们没有专心跟从我。
12 outakun Caleph, Cenezei, the sone of Jephone, and Josue, the sone of Nun; these tweyne filliden my wille.
惟有基尼洗族耶孚尼的儿子迦勒和嫩的儿子约书亚可以看见，因为他们专心跟从我。’
13 And the Lord was wrooth ayens Israel, and ledde hym aboute the deseert bi fourti yeer, til al the generacioun was wastid, that hadde do yuel in the `siyt of the Lord.
耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作，使他们在旷野飘流四十年，等到在耶和华眼前行恶的那一代人都消灭了。
14 And Moyses seide, Lo! ye encressyngis, and nurreis, `ether nurschid children, of synful men, han ryse for youre fadris, that ye schulden encreesse the strong veniaunce of the Lord ayens Israel.
谁知，你们起来接续先祖，增添罪人的数目，使耶和华向以色列大发烈怒。
15 That if ye nylen sue the Lord, in `the wildirnesse he schal forsake the puple, and ye schulen be cause of the deeth of alle men.
你们若退后不跟从他，他还要把以色列人撇在旷野，便是你们使这众民灭亡。”
16 And thei neiyiden nyy, and seiden, We schulen make foldis of scheep, and the stablis of beestis, and we schulen make strengthid citees to oure litle children.
两支派的人挨近摩西，说：“我们要在这里为牲畜垒圈，为妇人孩子造城。
17 Forsothe we vs silf schulen be armed `to defence, and schulen be gird `with armeris to asailyng, and schulen go to batel bifor the sones of Israel, til we bryngen hem in to her places; oure litle children and what euer thing we moun haue, schulen be in strengthid cytees, for the tresouns of the dwelleris.
我们自己要带兵器行在以色列人的前头，好把他们领到他们的地方；但我们的妇人孩子，因这地居民的缘故，要住在坚固的城内。
18 We schulen not turne ayen in to oure housis, til the sones of Israel welden her eritage;
我们不回家，直等到以色列人各承受自己的产业。
19 and we schulen not axe ony thing ouer Jordan, for we han now oure possessioun in the eest coost therof.
我们不和他们在约旦河那边一带之地同受产业，因为我们的产业是坐落在约旦河东边这里。”
20 To whiche Moises seide, If ye doen that, that ye biheten, be ye maad redi, and go ye to batel bifor the Lord;
摩西对他们说：“你们若这样行，在耶和华面前带着兵器出去打仗，
21 and ech man fiytere be armed, and passe Jordan, til the Lord distrye hise enemyes,
所有带兵器的人都要在耶和华面前过约旦河，等他赶出他的仇敌，
22 and al the lond be maad suget to hym; thanne ye schulen be giltles anentis God, and anentis Israel, and ye schulen holde the cuntreys, whiche ye wolen, bifor the Lord.
那地被耶和华制伏了，然后你们可以回来，向耶和华和以色列才为无罪，这地也必在耶和华面前归你们为业。
23 But if ye doon not that, that ye seien, it is not doute to ony man, that ne ye synnen ayens God; and wite ye, that youre synne schal take you.
倘若你们不这样行，就得罪耶和华，要知道你们的罪必追上你们。
24 Therfor bilde ye citees to youre litle children, and foldis and stablis to scheep, and to beestis; and fille ye that, that ye bihiyten.
如今你们口中所出的，只管去行，为你们的妇人孩子造城，为你们的羊群垒圈。”
25 And the sones of Gad and of Ruben seiden to Moises, We ben thi seruauntis; we schulen do that, that oure lord comaundith.
迦得子孙和吕便子孙对摩西说：“仆人要照我主所吩咐的去行。
26 We schulen leeue oure litle children, and wymmen, and scheep, and beestis in the citees of Galaad;
我们的妻子、孩子、羊群，和所有的牲畜都要留在基列的各城。
27 forsothe alle we thi seruauntis schulen go redi to batel, as thou, lord, spekist.
但你的仆人，凡带兵器的，都要照我主所说的话，在耶和华面前过去打仗。”
28 Therfor Moyses comaundide to Eleazar, preest, and to Josue, the sone of Nun, and to the princes of meynees, bi the lynagis of Israel, and seide to hem,
于是，摩西为他们嘱咐祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚，并以色列众支派的族长，说：
29 If the sones of Gad, and the sones of Ruben goen alle armed with you, to batel bifor the Lord, and the lond be maad suget to you, yyue ye to hem Galaad in to possessioun;
“迦得子孙和吕便子孙，凡带兵器在耶和华面前去打仗的，若与你们一同过约旦河，那地被你们制伏了，你们就要把基列地给他们为业。
30 but if thei nylen passe with you in to the lond of Chanaan, take thei places to dwelle among you.
倘若他们不带兵器和你们一同过去，就要在迦南地你们中间得产业。”
31 And the sones of Gad and the sones of Ruben answeriden, As the Lord spak to hise seruauntis, so we schulen do;
迦得子孙和吕便子孙回答说：“耶和华怎样吩咐仆人，仆人就怎样行。
32 we schulen go armed bifor the Lord, in to the lond of Chanaan, and we knowlechen, that we han take now possessioun ouer Jordan.
我们要带兵器，在耶和华面前过去，进入迦南地，只是约旦河这边、我们所得为业之地仍归我们。”
33 And so Moises yaf to the sones of Gad and of Ruben, and to half the lynage of Manasses, sone of Joseph, the rewme of Seon, kyng of Ammorey, and the rewme of Og, kyng of Basan, and `the lond of hem, with her citees, bi cumpas.
摩西将亚摩利王西宏的国和巴珊王噩的国，连那地和周围的城邑，都给了迦得子孙和吕便子孙，并约瑟的儿子玛拿西半个支派。
34 Therfor the sones of Gad bildiden Dibon, and Astaroth, and Aroer,
迦得子孙建造底本、亚他录、亚罗珥、
