اَلتَّثْنِيَة 3

١ 1 «ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْنَا وَصَعِدْنَا فِي طَرِيقِ بَاشَانَ، فَخَرَجَ عُوجُ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ لِلِقَائِنَا هُوَ وَجَمِيعُ قَوْمِهِ لِلْحَرْبِ فِي إِذْرَعِي.

“And we turn and go up the way to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan comes out to meet us, he and all his people, to the battle [at] Edrei.

٢ 2 فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: لَا تَخَفْ مِنْهُ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ دَفَعْتُهُ إِلَى يَدِكَ وَجَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ وَأَرْضِهِ، فَتَفْعَلُ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلْتَ بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ سَاكِنًا فِي حَشْبُونَ.

And YHWH says to me, Do not fear him, for I have given him, and all his people, and his land into your hand, and you have done to him as you have done to Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon.

٣ 3 فَدَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى أَيْدِينَا عُوجَ أَيْضًا مَلِكَ بَاشَانَ وَجَمِيعَ قَوْمِهِ، فَضَرَبْنَاهُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُ شَارِدٌ.

And our God YHWH indeed gives Og king of Bashan and all his people into our hands, and we strike him until there has been no remnant left to him;

٤ 4 وَأَخَذْنَا كُلَّ مُدُنِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ. لَمْ تَكُنْ قَرْيَةٌ لَمْ نَأْخُذْهَا مِنْهُمْ. سِتُّونَ مَدِينَةً، كُلُّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ مَمْلَكَةُ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

and we capture all his cities at that time; there has not been a city which we have not taken from them—sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

٥ 5 كُلُّ هَذِهِ كَانَتْ مُدُنًا مُحَصَّنَةً بِأَسْوَارٍ شَامِخَةٍ، وَأَبْوَابٍ وَمَزَالِيجَ. سِوَى قُرَى ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ جِدًّا.

All these [are] cities fortified with high walls, double gates, and bar, apart from very many cities of the open place;

٦ 6 فَحَرَّمْنَاهَا كَمَا فَعَلْنَا بِسِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ، مُحَرِّمِينَ كُلَّ مَدِينَةٍ: ٱلرِّجَالَ وَٱلنِّسَاءَ وَٱلْأَطْفَالَ.

and we devote them, as we have done to Sihon king of Heshbon, devoting [the] men, the women, and the infants of every city;

٧ 7 لَكِنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَغَنِيمَةِ ٱلْمُدُنِ نَهَبْنَاهَا لِأَنْفُسِنَا.

and all the livestock, and the spoil of the cities, we have spoiled for ourselves.

٨ 8 وَأَخَذْنَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكَيِ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، مِنْ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ إِلَى جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ.

And at that time we take the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorite, which is beyond the Jordan, from the Brook of Arnon to Mount Hermon

٩ 9 وَٱلصَّيْدُونِيُّونَ يَدْعُونَ حَرْمُونَ سِرْيُونَ، وَٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ يَدْعُونَهُ سَنِيرَ.

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

١٠ 10 كُلَّ مُدُنِ ٱلسَّهْلِ وَكُلَّ جِلْعَادَ وَكُلَّ بَاشَانَ إِلَى سَلْخَةَ وَإِذْرَعِي مَدِينَتَيْ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ.

all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

١١ 11 إِنَّ عُوجَ مَلِكَ بَاشَانَ وَحْدَهُ بَقِيَ مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ. هُوَذَا سَرِيرُهُ سَرِيرٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ. أَلَيْسَ هُوَ فِي رَبَّةِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ؟ طُولُهُ تِسْعُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَعَرْضُهُ أَرْبَعُ أَذْرُعٍ بِذِرَاعِ رَجُلٍ.

For only Og king of Bashan had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead [is] a bedstead of iron. Is it not in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon? Its length [is] nine cubits and its breadth [is] four cubits, by the cubit of a man.

١٢ 12 «فَهَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱمْتَلَكْنَاهَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، وَنِصْفَ جَبَلِ جِلْعَادَ وَمُدُنَهُ أَعْطَيْتُ لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ.

And this land, [which] we had possessed at that time, from Aroer, which [is] by the Brook of Arnon, and the half of Mount Gilead and its cities, I have given to the Reubenite and to the Gadite;

١٣ 13 وَبَقِيَّةَ جِلْعَادَ وَكُلَّ بَاشَانَ مَمْلَكَةَ عُوجٍ أَعْطَيْتُ لِنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى. كُلَّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ مَعَ كُلِّ بَاشَانَ. وَهِيَ تُدْعَى أَرْضَ ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ.

and the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I have given to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan—it is called the land of [the] Rephaim.

١٤ 14 يَائِيرُ ٱبْنُ مَنَسَّى أَخَذَ كُلَّ كُورَةِ أَرْجُوبَ إِلَى تُخْمِ ٱلْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْمَعْكِيِّينَ، وَدَعَاهَا عَلَى ٱسْمِهِ بَاشَانَ «حَوُّوثِ يَائِيرَ» إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

Jair son of Manasseh has taken all the region of Argob, as far as the border of Geshuri and Maachathi ([namely] Bashan), and calls them by his own name, Havoth-Jair, to this day.

١٥ 15 وَلِمَاكِيرَ أَعْطَيْتُ جِلْعَادَ.

And I have given Gilead to Machir.

١٦ 16 وَلِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَٱلْجَادِيِّينَ أَعْطَيْتُ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ إِلَى وَادِي أَرْنُونَ وَسَطَ ٱلْوَادِي تُخْمًا، وَإِلَى وَادِي يَبُّوقَ تُخْمِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ.

And to the Reubenite and to the Gadite I have given from Gilead even to the Brook of Arnon, the middle of the valley and the border, even to the Brook of Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon,

١٧ 17 وَٱلْعَرَبَةَ وَٱلْأُرْدُنَّ تُخْمًا مِنْ كِنَّارَةَ إِلَى بَحْرِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، بَحْرِ ٱلْمِلْحِ، تَحْتَ سُفُوحِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ نَحْوَ ٱلشَّرْقِ.

and the plain, and the Jordan, and the border, from Chinnereth even to the Sea of the Plain (the Salt Sea), under the Springs of Pisgah, at the [sun]-rising.

١٨ 18 «وَأَمَرْتُكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ قَدْ أَعْطَاكُمْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِتَمْتَلِكُوهَا. مُتَجَرِّدِينَ تَعْبُرُونَ أَمَامَ إِخْوَتِكُمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، كُلُّ ذَوِي بَأْسٍ.

And at that time I command you, saying, Your God YHWH has given this land to you to possess it; you pass over armed before your brothers the sons of Israel, all the sons of might.

١٩ 19 أَمَّا نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَأَطْفَالُكُمْ وَمَوَاشِيكُمْ، قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ لَكُمْ مَوَاشِيَ كَثِيرَةً، فَتَمْكُثُ فِي مُدُنِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ،

Only your wives, and your infants, and your livestock—I have known that you have much livestock—dwell in your cities which I have given to you,

٢٠ 20 حَتَّى يُرِيحَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِخْوَتَكُمْ مِثْلَكُمْ وَيَمْتَلِكُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ يُعْطِيهِمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مُلْكِهِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ.

until YHWH gives rest to your brothers like yourselves, and they also have possessed the land which your God YHWH is giving to them beyond the Jordan; then you have each turned back to his possession which I have given to you.

٢١ 21 وَأَمَرْتُ يَشُوعَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا: عَيْنَاكَ قَدْ أَبْصَرَتَا كُلَّ مَا فَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ بِهَذَيْنِ ٱلْمَلِكَيْنِ. هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ عَابِرٌ إِلَيْهَا.

And I have commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes are seeing all that which your God YHWH has done to these two kings—so YHWH does to all the kingdoms to where you are passing over;

٢٢ 22 لَا تَخَافُوا مِنْهُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ هُوَ ٱلْمُحَارِبُ عَنْكُمْ.

do not fear them, for your God YHWH—He is fighting for you.

٢٣ 23 «وَتَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَائِلًا:

And to YHWH I beg for grace at that time, saying,

٢٤ 24 يَا سَيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنْتَ قَدِ ٱبْتَدَأْتَ تُرِي عَبْدَكَ عَظَمَتَكَ وَيَدَكَ ٱلشَّدِيدَةَ. فَإِنَّهُ أَيُّ إِلَهٍ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَعْمَلُ كَأَعْمَالِكَ وَكَجَبَرُوتِكَ؟

Lord YHWH, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand; for who [is] a god in the heavens or in earth who does according to Your works and according to Your might?

٢٥ 25 دَعْنِي أَعْبُرْ وَأَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ ٱلَّتِي فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، هَذَا ٱلْجَبَلَ ٱلْجَيِّدَ وَلُبْنَانَ.

Please let me pass over and see the good land which [is] beyond the Jordan, this good hill-country, and Lebanon.

٢٦ 26 لَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ غَضِبَ عَلَيَّ بِسَبَبِكُمْ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِي، بَلْ قَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: كَفَاكَ! لَا تَعُدْ تُكَلِّمُنِي أَيْضًا فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ.

And YHWH shows Himself angry with me for your sake, and has not listened to me, and YHWH says to me, Enough of you; do not add to speak to Me about this thing anymore;

٢٧ 27 ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْفِسْجَةِ وَٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى ٱلْغَرْبِ وَٱلشِّمَالِ وَٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱلشَّرْقِ، وَٱنْظُرْ بِعَيْنَيْكَ، لَكِنْ لَا تَعْبُرُ هَذَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ.

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 do not pass over this Jordan;

٢٨ 28 وَأَمَّا يَشُوعُ فَأَوْصِهِ وَشَدِّدْهُ وَشَجِّعْهُ، لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْبُرُ أَمَامَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُ لَهُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي تَرَاهَا.

and charge Joshua, and strengthen him, and harden him, for he passes over before this people, and he causes them to inherit the land which you see.

٢٩ 29 فَمَكَثْنَا فِي ٱلْجِوَاءِ مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ فَغُورَ.

And we dwell in a valley opposite Beth-Peor.”
