Numbers 32

1 And much cattle hath been to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad, very many; and they see the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, and lo, the place [is] a place [for] cattle;

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

2 and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, come in and speak unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the company, saying:

٢ فَقَالُوا لِمُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ الْكَاهِنِ وَرُؤَسَاءِ الشَّعْبِ:

3 'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon —

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

4 the land which Jehovah hath smitten before the company of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'

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

5 And they say, 'If we have found grace in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession; cause us not to pass over the Jordan.'

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

6 And Moses saith to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, 'Do your brethren go in to the battle, and ye — do ye sit here?

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

7 and why discourage ye the heart of the sons of Israel from passing over unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them?

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

8 'Thus did your fathers in my sending them from Kadesh-Barnea to see the land;

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

9 and they go up unto the valley of Eshcol, and see the land, and discourage the heart of the sons of Israel so as not to go in unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them;

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

10 and the anger of Jehovah burneth in that day, and He sweareth, saying,

١٠ فَاحْتَدَمَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ وَقَالَ:

11 They do not see — the men who are coming up out of Egypt from a son of twenty years and upward — the ground which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, for they have not been fully after 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 save Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they have been fully after Jehovah;

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

13 and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He causeth them to wander in the wilderness forty years, until the consumption of all the generation which is doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.

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

14 'And lo, ye have risen in the stead of your fathers, an increase of men — sinners, to add yet to the fury of the anger of Jehovah toward Israel;

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

15 when ye turn back from after Him, then He hath added yet to leave him in the wilderness, and ye have done corruptly to all this people.'

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

16 And they come nigh unto him, and say, 'Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;

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

17 and we — we are armed hasting before the sons of Israel till that we have brought them in unto their place; and our infants have dwelt in the cities of defence 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 do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of Israel have inherited each his inheritance,

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

19 for we do not inherit with them beyond the Jordan and yonder, for our inheritance hath come unto us beyond the Jordan at the [sun] -rising.'

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

20 And Moses saith unto them, 'If ye do this thing: if ye are armed before Jehovah for battle,

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

21 and every armed one of you hath passed over the Jordan before Jehovah, till his dispossessing 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 hath been subdued before Jehovah — then afterwards ye do turn back, and have been acquitted by Jehovah, and by Israel; and this land hath been to you for a possession before Jehovah.

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

23 'And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and know ye your sin, that it doth find you;

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

24 build for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do ye.'

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

25 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto Moses, saying, 'Thy servants do as my lord is commanding;

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

26 our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, are there in cities of Gilead,

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

27 and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'

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

28 And Moses commandeth concerning them Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel;

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

29 and Moses saith unto them, 'If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over with you the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land hath been subdued before you, then ye have given to 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 and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.'

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

31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, 'That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants — so we do;

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

32 we — we pass over armed before Jehovah [to] the land of Canaan, and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance beyond the Jordan.'

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

33 And Moses giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the land round about.

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 And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

٣٤ فَرَمَّمَ أَبْنَاءُ سِبْطِ جَادٍ مُدُنَ دِيبُونَ وَعَطَاروُتَ وَعَرُوعِيرَ،

35 and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

٣٥ وَعَطْرُوتَ شُوفَانَ وَيَعَزِيرَ وَيَجْبَهَةَ،

36 and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defence, and sheepfolds.

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

37 And the sons of Reuben have build Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

٣٧ وَبَنَى أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ مُدُنَ حَشْبُونَ وَأَلِعَالَةَ وَقِرْيَتَايِمَ،

38 and Nebo, and Baal-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah, and they call by [these] names the names of the cities which they have built.

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

39 And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who [is] in it;

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

40 and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it.

٤٠ فَوَهَبَ مُوسَى جِلْعَادَ لِنَسْلِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى فَأَقَامُوا فِيهَا.

41 And Jair son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their towns, and calleth them 'Towns of Jair;'

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

42 and Nobah hath gone and captureth Kenath, and its villages, and calleth it Nobah, by his own name.

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