1 GLT وَأَمَّا بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ فَكَانَ لَهُمْ مَوَاشٍ كَثِيرَةٌ وَافِرَةٌ جِدًّا. فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا أَرْضَ يَعْزِيرَ وَأَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ، وَإِذَا ٱلْمَكَانُ مَكَانُ مَوَاشٍ، BSB BSB: Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.
2 GLT أَتَى بَنُو جَادَ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَكَلَّمُوا مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ قَائِلِينَ: BSB BSB: So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
3 GLT «عَطَارُوتُ وَدِيبُونُ وَيَعْزِيرُ وَنِمْرَةُ وَحَشْبُونُ وَأَلِعَالَةُ وَشَبَامُ وَنَبُو وَبَعُونُ، BSB BSB: “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 GLT ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ قُدَّامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هِيَ أَرْضُ مَوَاشٍ، وَلِعَبِيدِكَ مَوَاشٍ». BSB BSB: which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”
5 GLT ثُمَّ قَالُوا:«إِنْ وَجَدْنَا نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ فَلْتُعْطَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ لِعَبِيدِكَ مُلْكًا، وَلَا تُعَبِّرْنَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ». BSB BSB: “If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”
6 GLT فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِبَنِي جَادٍ وَبَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ:«هَلْ يَنْطَلِقُ إِخْوَتُكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْعُدُونَ هَهُنَا؟ BSB BSB: But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7 GLT فَلِمَاذَا تَصُدُّونَ قُلُوبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْعُبُورِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ BSB BSB: Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?
8 GLT هَكَذَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُكُمْ حِينَ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ لِيَنْظُرُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ. BSB BSB: This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.
9 GLT صَعِدُوا إِلَى وَادِي أَشْكُولَ وَنَظَرُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ وَصَدُّوا قُلُوبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ دُخُولِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ. BSB BSB: For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.
10 GLT فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَأَقْسَمَ قَائِلًا: BSB BSB: So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
11 GLT لَنْ يَرَى ٱلنَّاسُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ، مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا، ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَّبِعُونِي تَمَامًا، BSB BSB: ‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—
12 GLT مَا عَدَا كَالِبَ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ ٱلْقِنِزِّيَّ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ، لِأَنَّهُمَا ٱتَّبَعَا ٱلرَّبَّ تَمَامًا. BSB BSB: not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’
13 GLT فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَتَاهَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، حَتَّى فَنِيَ كُلُّ ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. BSB BSB: The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.
14 GLT فَهُوَذَا أَنْتُمْ قَدْ قُمْتُمْ عِوَضًا عَنْ آبَائِكُمْ، تَرْبِيَةَ أُنَاسٍ خُطَاةٍ، لِكَيْ تَزِيدُوا أَيْضًا حُمُوَّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. BSB BSB: Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.
15 GLT إِذَا ٱرْتَدَدْتُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، يَعُودُ يَتْرُكُهُ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، فَتُهْلِكُونَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ». BSB BSB: For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”
16 GLT فَٱقْتَرَبُوا إِلَيْهِ وَقَالُوا:«نَبْنِي صِيَرَ غَنَمٍ لِمَوَاشِينَا هَهُنَا وَمُدُنًا لِأَطْفَالِنَا. BSB BSB: Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.
17 GLT وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَتَجَرَّدُ مُسْرِعِينَ قُدَّامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى نَأْتِيَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَكَانِهِمْ، وَيَلْبَثُ أَطْفَالُنَا فِي مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ مِنْ وَجْهِ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. BSB BSB: But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.
18 GLT لَا نَرْجِعُ إِلَى بُيُوتِنَا حَتَّى يَقْتَسِمَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ نَصِيبَهُ. BSB BSB: We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.
19 GLT إِنَّنَا لَا نَمْلِكُ مَعَهُمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ وَمَا وَرَاءَهُ، لِأَنَّ نَصِيبَنَا قَدْ حَصَلَ لَنَا فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى ٱلشَّرْقِ». BSB BSB: Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”
20 GLT فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى:«إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ، إِنْ تَجَرَّدْتُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْحَرْبِ، BSB BSB: Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,
21 GLT وَعَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ كُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ مِنْكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى طَرَدَ أَعْدَاءَهُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ، BSB BSB: and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,
22 GLT وَأُخْضِعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَجَعْتُمْ، فَتَكُونُونَ أَبْرِيَاءَ مِنْ نَحْوِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ نَحْوِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مُلْكًا لَكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. BSB BSB: then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.
23 GLT وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا هَكَذَا، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُخْطِئُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَتَعْلَمُونَ خَطِيَّتَكُمُ ٱلَّتِي تُصِيبُكُمْ. BSB BSB: But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.
24 GLT اِبْنُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مُدُنًا لِأَطْفَالِكُمْ وَصِيَرًا لِغَنَمِكُمْ. وَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمُ ٱفْعَلُوا». BSB BSB: Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
25 GLT فَكَلَّمَ بَنُو جَادَ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ:«عَبِيدُكَ يَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا أَمَرَ سَيِّدِي. BSB BSB: The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
26 GLT أَطْفَالُنَا وَنِسَاؤُنَا وَمَوَاشِينَا وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِنَا تَكُونُ هُنَاكَ فِي مُدُنِ جِلْعَادَ. BSB BSB: Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
27 GLT وَعَبِيدُكَ يَعْبُرُونَ، كُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ لِلْجُنْدِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْحَرْبِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ سَيِّدِي». BSB BSB: But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”
28 GLT فَأَوْصَى بِهِمْ مُوسَى أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ وَرُؤُوسَ آبَاءِ ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. BSB BSB: So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.
29 GLT وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى:«إِنْ عَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ مَعَكُمْ بَنُو جَادَ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ، كُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ لِلْحَرْبِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَمَتَى أُخْضِعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَمَامَكُمْ، تُعْطُونَهُمْ أَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ مُلْكًا. BSB BSB: And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
30 GLT وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ يَعْبُرُوا مُتَجَرِّدِينَ مَعَكُمْ، يَتَمَلَّكُوا فِي وَسَطِكُمْ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ». BSB BSB: But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan.”
31 GLT فَأَجَابَ بَنُو جَادٍ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ قَائِلِينَ:«ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ عَبِيدِكَ كَذَلِكَ نَفْعَلُ. BSB BSB: The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.
32 GLT نَحْنُ نَعْبُرُ مُتَجَرِّدِينَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَلَكِنْ نُعْطَى مُلْكَ نَصِيبِنَا فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». BSB BSB: We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”
33 GLT فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى لَهُمْ، لِبَنِي جَادٍ وَبَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى بْنِ يُوسُفَ، مَمْلَكَةَ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَمَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ مَلِكِ بَاشَانَ، ٱلْأَرْضَ مَعَ مُدُنِهَا بِتُخُومِ مُدُنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ حَوَالَيْهَا. BSB BSB: So Moses gave to the Gadites, to the Reubenites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.
34 GLT فَبَنَى بَنُو جَادَ: دِيبُونَ وَعَطَارُوتَ وَعَرُوعِيرَ BSB BSB: And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 GLT وَعَطْرُوتَ شُوفَانَ وَيَعْزِيرَ وَيُجْبَهَةَ BSB BSB: Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 GLT وَبَيْتَ نِمْرَةَ وَبَيْتَ هَارَانَ مُدُنًا مُحَصَّنَةً مَعَ صِيَرِ غَنَمٍ. BSB BSB: Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.
37 GLT وَبَنَى بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ: حَشْبُونَ وَأَلِعَالَةَ وَقَرْيَتَايِمَ BSB BSB: The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 GLT وَنَبُوَ وَبَعْلَ مَعُونَ، مُغَيَّرَتَيِ ٱلِٱسْمِ، وَسَبْمَةَ، وَدَعَوْا بِأَسْمَاءٍ أَسْمَاءَ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَوْا. BSB BSB: as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.
39 GLT وَذَهَبَ بَنُو مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى إِلَى جِلْعَادَ وَأَخَذُوهَا وَطَرَدُوا ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِيهَا. BSB BSB: The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
40 GLT فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى جِلْعَادَ لِمَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى فَسَكَنَ فِيهَا. BSB BSB: So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
41 GLT وَذَهَبَ يَائِيرُ ٱبْنُ مَنَسَّى وَأَخَذَ مَزَارِعَهَا وَدَعَاهُنَّ: حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ. BSB BSB: Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.
42 GLT وَذَهَبَ نُوبَحُ وَأَخَذَ قَنَاةَ وَقُرَاهَا وَدَعَاهَا نُوبَحَ بِٱسْمِهِ. BSB BSB: And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
