< Numbers 32 >

1 Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that look, the place was a place for livestock;
Filii autem Ruben et Gad habebant pecora multa, et erat illis in iumentis infinita substantia. Cumque vidissent Iazer, et Galaad aptas animalibus alendis terras,
2 the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the cohen, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,
venerunt ad Moysen, et ad Elezarum sacerdotem, et principes multitudinis, atque dixerunt:
3 "Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sibmah, and Nebo, and Beon,
Ataroth, et Dibon, et Iazer, et Nemra, Hesebon, et Eleale, et Saba, et Nebo, et Beon,
4 the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock."
terra, quam percussit Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israel, regio uberrima est ad pastum animalium: et nos servi tui habemus iumenta plurima:
5 They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over the Jordan."
precamurque si invenimus gratiam coram te, ut des nobis famulis tuis eam in possessionem, nec facias nos transire Iordanem.
6 Moses said to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here?
Quibus respondit Moyses: Numquid fratres vestri ibunt ad pugnam, et vos hic sedebitis?
7 Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
Cur subvertitis mentes filiorum Israel, ne transire audeant in locum, quem eis daturus est Dominus?
8 Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
nonne ita egerunt patres vestri, quando misi de Cadesbarne ad explorandam Terram?
9 For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
Cumque venissent usque ad Vallem botri, lustrata omni regione, subverterunt cor filiorum Israel, ut non intrarent fines, quos eis Dominus dedit.
10 The LORD's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying,
Qui iratus iuravit, dicens:
11 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
Si videbunt homines isti, qui ascenderunt ex Aegypto a viginti annis et supra, Terram, quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: et noluerunt sequi me,
12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed the LORD completely.'
praeter Caleb filium Iephone Cenezaeum, et Iosue filium Nun: isti impleverunt voluntatem meam.
13 The LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
Iratusque Dominus adversum Israel, circumduxit eum per desertum quadraginta annis, donec consumeretur universa generatio, quae fecerat malum in conspectu eius.
14 "Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
Et ecce, inquit, vos surrexistis pro patribus vestris, incrementa, et alumni hominum peccatorum, ut augeretis furorem Domini contra Israel.
15 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people."
Quod si nolueritis sequi eum, in solitudine populum derelinquet, et vos causa eritis necis omnium.
16 They came near to him, and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones:
At illi prope accedentes, dixerunt: Caulas ovium fabricabimus, et stabula iumentorum, parvulis quoque nostris urbes munitas:
17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
nos autem ipsi armati et accincti pergemus ad praelium ante filios Israel, donec introducamus eos ad loca sua. Parvuli nostri, et quidquid habere possumus, erunt in urbibus muratis, propter habitatorum insidias.
18 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Non revertemur in domos nostras, usque dum possideant filii Israel hereditatem suam:
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward."
nec quidquam quaeremus trans Iordanem, quia iam habemus nostram possessionem in orientali eius plaga.
20 Moses said to them, "If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
Quibus Moyses ait: Si facitis quod promittitis, expediti pergite coram Domino ad pugnam:
21 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
et omnis vir bellator armatus Iordanem transeat, donec subvertat Dominus inimicos suos,
22 and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards the LORD, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the LORD.
et subiiciatur ei omnis Terra: tunc eritis inculpabiles apud Dominum et apud Israel, et obtinebitis regiones, quas vultis coram Domino.
23 "But if you will not do so, look, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.
Sin autem quod dicitis, non feceritis, nulli dubium est quin peccetis in Deum: et scitote quoniam peccatum vestrum apprehendet vos.
24 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."
Aedificate ergo urbes parvulis vestris, et caulas, et stabula ovibus ac iumentis: et quod polliciti estis implete.
25 The people of Gad and the people of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do as my lord commands.
Dixeruntque filii Gad et Ruben ad Moysen: Servi tui sumus, faciemus quod iubet dominus noster.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
Parvulos nostros, et mulieres, et pecora, ac iumenta relinquemus in urbibus Galaad:
27 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says."
nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum, sicut tu domine loqueris.
28 So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the cohen, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' households of the tribes of the children of Israel.
Praecepit ergo Moyses Eleazaro sacerdoti, et Iosue filio Nun, et principibus familiarum per tribus Israel, et dixit ad eos:
29 Moses said to them, "If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you; then you are to give them the land of Gilead for a possession.
Si transierint filii Gad, et filii Ruben vobiscum Iordanem omnes armati ad bellum coram Domino, et vobis fuerit Terra subiecta: date eis Galaad in possessionem.
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed to battle before the LORD, then you are to bring over their children and their wives and their flocks before you into the land of Canaan, and they are to have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."
Sin autem noluerint transire armati vobiscum in Terram Chanaan, inter vos habitandi accipiant loca.
31 The people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, saying, "As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.
Responderuntque filii Gad, et filii Ruben: Sicut locutus est Dominus servis suis, ita faciemus:
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan."
ipsi armati pergemus coram Domino in Terram Chanaan, et possessionem iam suscepisse nos confitemur trans Iordanem.
33 Moses gave to them, even to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.
Dedit itaque Moyses filiis Gad et Ruben, et dimidiae tribui Manasse filii Ioseph regnum Sehon regis Amorrhaei, et regnum Og regis Basan, et terram eorum cum urbibus suis per circuitum.
34 The people of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Igitur extruxerunt filii Gad, Dibon, et Ataroth, et Aroer,
35 and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
et Roth, et Sophan, et Iazer, et Iegbaa,
36 and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep.
et Bethnemra, et Betharan, urbes munitas, et caulas pecoribus suis.
37 The people of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
Filii vero Ruben aedificaverunt Hesebon, et Eleale, et Cariathaim,
38 and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built.
et Nabo, et Baalmeon versis nominibus, Sabama quoque: imponentes vocabula urbibus, quas extruxerunt.
39 The descendants of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.
Porro filii Machir filii Manasse perrexerunt in Galaad, et vastaverunt eam interfecto Amorrhaeo habitatore eius.
40 Moses gave Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh; and he lived in it.
Dedit ergo Moyses Terram Galaad Machir filio Manasse, qui habitavit in ea.
41 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns, and called them Havvoth Jair.
Iair autem filius Manasse abiit et occupavit vicos eius, quos appellavit Havoth Iair, id est, Villas Iair.
42 Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Nobe quoque perrexit, et apprehendit Chanath cum viculis suis: vocavitque eam ex nomine suo Nobe.
