< اَلْعَدَد 32 >
وَأَمَّا بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَبَنُو جَادَ فَكَانَ لَهُمْ مَوَاشٍ كَثِيرَةٌ وَافِرَةٌ جِدًّا. فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا أَرْضَ يَعْزِيرَ وَأَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ، وَإِذَا ٱلْمَكَانُ مَكَانُ مَوَاشٍ، | ١ 1 |
Now the sons of Ruben and of Gad had many herds, and their substance in cattle was inestimable. And when they had seen that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were suitable for feeding animals,
أَتَى بَنُو جَادَ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ وَكَلَّمُوا مُوسَى وَأَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَرُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ قَائِلِينَ: | ٢ 2 |
they went to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest and the leaders of the multitude, and they said:
«عَطَارُوتُ وَدِيبُونُ وَيَعْزِيرُ وَنِمْرَةُ وَحَشْبُونُ وَأَلِعَالَةُ وَشَبَامُ وَنَبُو وَبَعُونُ، | ٣ 3 |
“Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ قُدَّامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هِيَ أَرْضُ مَوَاشٍ، وَلِعَبِيدِكَ مَوَاشٍ». | ٤ 4 |
the land, which the Lord has struck in the sight of the sons of Israel, is a very fertile region for pasturing animals. And we, your servants, have very many cattle.
ثُمَّ قَالُوا: «إِنْ وَجَدْنَا نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ فَلْتُعْطَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ لِعَبِيدِكَ مُلْكًا، وَلَا تُعَبِّرْنَا ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ». | ٥ 5 |
And so we beseech you, if we have found favor before you, that you give it to us, your subjects, as a possession, and that you not cause us cross the Jordan.”
فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِبَنِي جَادٍ وَبَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ: «هَلْ يَنْطَلِقُ إِخْوَتُكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْعُدُونَ هَهُنَا؟ | ٦ 6 |
And Moses answered them: “Should your brothers go to battle, while you sit here?
فَلِمَاذَا تَصُدُّونَ قُلُوبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْعُبُورِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Why do you subvert the minds of the sons of Israel, so that they might not dare to cross into the place which the Lord will give to them?
هَكَذَا فَعَلَ آبَاؤُكُمْ حِينَ أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ مِنْ قَادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ لِيَنْظُرُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٨ 8 |
Did not your fathers act in the same way, when I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to explore the land?
صَعِدُوا إِلَى وَادِي أَشْكُولَ وَنَظَرُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ وَصَدُّوا قُلُوبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ دُخُولِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٩ 9 |
And when they had gone all the way to the Valley of the Cluster of Grapes, having viewed the entire region, they subverted the hearts of the sons of Israel, so that they would not enter into the parts that the Lord gave to them.
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَأَقْسَمَ قَائِلًا: | ١٠ 10 |
And being angry, the Lord swore an oath, saying:
لَنْ يَرَى ٱلنَّاسُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ، مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَصَاعِدًا، ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلَّتِي أَقْسَمْتُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَّبِعُونِي تَمَامًا، | ١١ 11 |
‘These men, who ascended out of Egypt, from twenty years and above, will not see the land, which I have promised under an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For they were not willing to follow me,
مَا عَدَا كَالِبَ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ ٱلْقِنِزِّيَّ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ، لِأَنَّهُمَا ٱتَّبَعَا ٱلرَّبَّ تَمَامًا. | ١٢ 12 |
except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; these have fulfilled my will.’
فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَتَاهَهُمْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، حَتَّى فَنِيَ كُلُّ ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلَّذِي فَعَلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the Lord, being angry against Israel, led them in a course through the desert for forty years, until the entire generation, which had done evil in his sight, was consumed.
فَهُوَذَا أَنْتُمْ قَدْ قُمْتُمْ عِوَضًا عَنْ آبَائِكُمْ، تَرْبِيَةَ أُنَاسٍ خُطَاةٍ، لِكَيْ تَزِيدُوا أَيْضًا حُمُوَّ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٤ 14 |
And behold,” he said, “you have risen up in the place of your fathers, the offshoots and the nurslings of sinful men, in order to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.
إِذَا ٱرْتَدَدْتُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، يَعُودُ يَتْرُكُهُ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، فَتُهْلِكُونَ كُلَّ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ». | ١٥ 15 |
But if you are not willing to follow him, he will leave the people behind in the wilderness, and you will have been the cause of all our deaths.”
فَٱقْتَرَبُوا إِلَيْهِ وَقَالُوا: «نَبْنِي صِيَرَ غَنَمٍ لِمَوَاشِينَا هَهُنَا وَمُدُنًا لِأَطْفَالِنَا. | ١٦ 16 |
But approaching closer, they said: “We will manufacture sheep pens and cattle stalls, as well as fortified cities, for our little ones.
وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَنَتَجَرَّدُ مُسْرِعِينَ قُدَّامَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَتَّى نَأْتِيَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَكَانِهِمْ، وَيَلْبَثُ أَطْفَالُنَا فِي مُدُنٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ مِنْ وَجْهِ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٧ 17 |
But we ourselves will continue on, armed and girded for battle, before the sons of Israel, until we lead them to their places. Our little ones, and whatever we may be able to have, shall be in walled cities, because of the treachery of the inhabitants.
لَا نَرْجِعُ إِلَى بُيُوتِنَا حَتَّى يَقْتَسِمَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ نَصِيبَهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
We will not return to our houses, even until the sons of Israel may possess their inheritance.
إِنَّنَا لَا نَمْلِكُ مَعَهُمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ وَمَا وَرَاءَهُ، لِأَنَّ نَصِيبَنَا قَدْ حَصَلَ لَنَا فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى ٱلشَّرْقِ». | ١٩ 19 |
Neither will we seek anything across the Jordan, because we already have our possession on its eastern side.”
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ، إِنْ تَجَرَّدْتُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْحَرْبِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
And Moses said to them: “If you accomplish what you have promised, you may go out, equipped for battle, before the Lord.
وَعَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ كُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ مِنْكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى طَرَدَ أَعْدَاءَهُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ، | ٢١ 21 |
And let every fighting man cross over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrows his enemies,
وَأُخْضِعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَجَعْتُمْ، فَتَكُونُونَ أَبْرِيَاءَ مِنْ نَحْوِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَمِنْ نَحْوِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتَكُونُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مُلْكًا لَكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
and all the land is subjected to him. Then you will be guiltless with the Lord and with Israel, and you will obtain the regions which you desire before the Lord.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا هَكَذَا، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُخْطِئُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَتَعْلَمُونَ خَطِيَّتَكُمُ ٱلَّتِي تُصِيبُكُمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
But if you do not do what you have said, no one could doubt that you will have sinned against God. And know this: your sin shall overtake you.
اِبْنُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مُدُنًا لِأَطْفَالِكُمْ وَصِيَرًا لِغَنَمِكُمْ. وَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمُ ٱفْعَلُوا». | ٢٤ 24 |
Therefore, build cities for your little ones, and pens and stables for your sheep and cattle; and fulfill what you have promised.”
فَكَلَّمَ بَنُو جَادَ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ مُوسَى قَائِلِينَ: «عَبِيدُكَ يَفْعَلُونَ كَمَا أَمَرَ سَيِّدِي. | ٢٥ 25 |
And the sons of Gad and of Ruben said to Moses: “We are your servants, we shall do what you, our ruler, orders.
أَطْفَالُنَا وَنِسَاؤُنَا وَمَوَاشِينَا وَكُلُّ بَهَائِمِنَا تَكُونُ هُنَاكَ فِي مُدُنِ جِلْعَادَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
We will leave behind our little ones, and our wives, and the sheep and cattle, in the cities of Gilead.
وَعَبِيدُكَ يَعْبُرُونَ، كُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ لِلْجُنْدِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلْحَرْبِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ سَيِّدِي». | ٢٧ 27 |
And we, your servants, all well-equipped, will go forth to battle, just as you, our ruler, has spoken.”
فَأَوْصَى بِهِمْ مُوسَى أَلِعَازَارَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَيَشُوعَ بْنَ نُونَ وَرُؤُوسَ آبَاءِ ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Therefore, Moses instructed Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the princes of the families throughout the tribes of Israel, and he said to them:
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «إِنْ عَبَرَ ٱلْأُرْدُنَّ مَعَكُمْ بَنُو جَادَ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ، كُلُّ مُتَجَرِّدٍ لِلْحَرْبِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَمَتَى أُخْضِعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَمَامَكُمْ، تُعْطُونَهُمْ أَرْضَ جِلْعَادَ مُلْكًا. | ٢٩ 29 |
“If the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben cross over the Jordan with you, all armed for war before the Lord, and if the land becomes subject to you, give them Gilead as a possession.
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ يَعْبُرُوا مُتَجَرِّدِينَ مَعَكُمْ، يَتَمَلَّكُوا فِي وَسَطِكُمْ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
But if they are not willing to cross with you, armed, into the land of Canaan, then let them receive places among you for their dwellings.”
فَأَجَابَ بَنُو جَادٍ وَبَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ عَبِيدِكَ كَذَلِكَ نَفْعَلُ. | ٣١ 31 |
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben responded: “Just as the Lord has spoken to his servants, so shall we do.
نَحْنُ نَعْبُرُ مُتَجَرِّدِينَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَلَكِنْ نُعْطَى مُلْكَ نَصِيبِنَا فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». | ٣٢ 32 |
We will go forth, armed, before the Lord into the land of Canaan; and we acknowledge that we have already received our possession across the Jordan.”
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. | ٣٣ 33 |
And so, Moses gave to the sons of Gad and of Ruben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and their land with its surrounding cities.
فَبَنَى بَنُو جَادَ: دِيبُونَ وَعَطَارُوتَ وَعَرُوعِيرَ | ٣٤ 34 |
Therefore, the sons of Gad built up Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
وَعَطْرُوتَ شُوفَانَ وَيَعْزِيرَ وَيُجْبَهَةَ | ٣٥ 35 |
and Atroth and Shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
وَبَيْتَ نِمْرَةَ وَبَيْتَ هَارَانَ مُدُنًا مُحَصَّنَةً مَعَ صِيَرِ غَنَمٍ. | ٣٦ 36 |
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, as fortified cities with pens for their cattle.
وَبَنَى بَنُو رَأُوبَيْنَ: حَشْبُونَ وَأَلِعَالَةَ وَقَرْيَتَايِمَ | ٣٧ 37 |
Yet truly, the sons of Ruben built up Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
وَنَبُوَ وَبَعْلَ مَعُونَ، مُغَيَّرَتَيِ ٱلِٱسْمِ، وَسَبْمَةَ، وَدَعَوْا بِأَسْمَاءٍ أَسْمَاءَ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَوْا. | ٣٨ 38 |
and Nebo, and Baal-meon (their names having been changed) and Sibmah, appointing names for the cities which they had built.
وَذَهَبَ بَنُو مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى إِلَى جِلْعَادَ وَأَخَذُوهَا وَطَرَدُوا ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِيهَا. | ٣٩ 39 |
Moreover, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, continued on within Gilead, and they devastated it, putting to death its inhabitant, the Amorite.
فَأَعْطَى مُوسَى جِلْعَادَ لِمَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى فَسَكَنَ فِيهَا. | ٤٠ 40 |
Therefore, Moses gave the land of Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh, and he lived in it.
وَذَهَبَ يَائِيرُ ٱبْنُ مَنَسَّى وَأَخَذَ مَزَارِعَهَا وَدَعَاهُنَّ: حَوُّوثَ يَائِيرَ. | ٤١ 41 |
But Jair, the son of Manasseh, went out and occupied its villages, which he called Havoth Jair, that is, the Villages of Jair.
وَذَهَبَ نُوبَحُ وَأَخَذَ قَنَاةَ وَقُرَاهَا وَدَعَاهَا نُوبَحَ بِٱسْمِهِ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Likewise, Nobah went forth and captured Kenath with its villages. And he called it by his own name, Nobah.
