Numbers 32
1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a great number of cattle: and when they saw that the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was a good place for cattle;
Filii autem Ruben et Gad habebant pecora multa, et erat illis in jumentis infinita substantia. Cumque vidissent Jazer et Galaad aptas animalibus alendis terras,
2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the meeting,
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 Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
Ataroth, et Dibon, et Jazer, et Nemra, Hesebon, et Eleale, et Saban, et Nebo, et Beon,
4 The land which the Lord gave into the hands of the children of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have cattle.
terra, quam percussit Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israël, regio uberrima est ad pastum animalium: et nos servi tui habemus jumenta plurima,
5 And they said, With your approval, let this land be given to your servants as their heritage: do not take us over Jordan.
precamurque si invenimus gratiam coram te, ut des nobis famulis tuis eam in possessionem, nec facias nos transire Jordanem.
6 And Moses said to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben, Are your brothers to go to the war, while you take your rest here?
Quibus respondit Moyses: Numquid fratres vestri ibunt ad pugnam, et vos hic sedebitis?
7 Why would you take from the children of Israel the desire to go over into the land which the Lord has given them?
cur subvertitis mentes filiorum Israël, ne transire audeant in locum, quem eis daturus est Dominus?
8 So did your fathers, 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 took from the children of Israel the desire to go into the land which the Lord had given them.
cumque venissent usque ad Vallem botri, lustrata omni regione, subverterunt cor filiorum Israël, ut non intrarent fines, quos eis Dominus dedit.
10 And at that time the Lord was moved to wrath, and made an oath, saying,
Qui iratus juravit, dicens:
11 Truly, not one of the men of twenty years old and over who came out of Egypt will see the land which I gave by oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they have not been true to me with all their heart;
Si videbunt homines isti, qui ascenderunt ex Ægypto a viginti annis et supra, terram, quam sub juramento pollicitus sum Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob: et noluerunt sequi me,
12 But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, the son of Nun: because they have been true to the Lord.
præter Caleb filium Jephone Cenezæum, et Josue filium Nun: isti impleverunt voluntatem meam.
13 Then the Lord was angry with Israel, and he made them wanderers in the waste land for forty years? till all that generation who had done evil in the eyes of the Lord was dead.
Iratusque Dominus adversum Israël, circumduxit eum per desertum quadraginta annis, donec consumeretur universa generatio, quæ fecerat malum in conspectu ejus.
14 And now you have come to take the place of your fathers, another generation of sinners, increasing the wrath of the Lord against Israel.
Et ecce, inquit, vos surrexistis pro patribus vestris, incrementa et alumni hominum peccatorum, ut augeretis furorem Domini contra Israël.
15 For if you are turned away from him, he will send them wandering again in the waste land; and you will be the cause of the destruction of all this people.
Quod si nolueritis sequi eum, in solitudine populum derelinquet, et vos causa eritis necis omnium.
16 Then they came to him, and said, We will make safe places for our cattle here, and towns for our little ones;
At illi prope accedentes, dixerunt: Caulas ovium fabricabimus, et stabula jumentorum, parvulis quoque nostris urbes munitas:
17 But we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel till we have taken them to their place: but our little ones will be safe in the walled towns against the people of the land.
nos autem ipsi armati et accincti pergemus ad prælium ante filios Israël, donec introducamus eos ad loca sua. Parvuli nostri, et quidquid habere possumus, erunt in urbibus muratis, propter habitatorum insidias.
18 We will not come back to our houses till every one of the children of Israel has come into his heritage.
Non revertemur in domos nostras, usque dum possideant filii Israël hæreditatem suam:
19 For we will not have our heritage with them on the other side of Jordan and forward; because our heritage has come to us on this side of Jordan to the east.
nec quidquam quæremus trans Jordanem, quia jam habemus nostram possessionem in orientali ejus plaga.
20 Then Moses said to them, If you will do this, arming yourselves to go before the Lord to the war,
Quibus Moyses ait: Si facitis quod promittitis, expediti pergite coram Domino ad pugnam:
21 Every armed man of you going across Jordan before the Lord till he has overcome and sent in flight all who are against him,
et omnis vir bellator armatus Jordanem transeat, donec subvertat Dominus inimicos suos,
22 And the land is under the rule of the Lord: then after that you may come back, having done no wrong to the Lord and to Israel; and this land will be yours for your heritage before the Lord.
et subjiciatur ei omnis terra: tunc eritis inculpabiles apud Dominum et apud Israël, et obtinebitis regiones, quas vultis, coram Domino.
23 But if you do not do this, then you are sinners against the Lord; and you may be certain that your sin will have its reward.
Sin autem quod dicitis, non feceritis, nulli dubium est quin peccetis in Deum: et scitote quoniam peccatum vestrum apprehendet vos.
24 So get to work building your towns for your little ones, and safe places for your sheep; and do as you have said.
Ædificate ergo urbes parvulis vestris, et caulas, et stabula ovibus ac jumentis: et quod polliciti estis, implete.
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said to Moses, Your servants will do as my lord says.
Dixeruntque filii Gad et Ruben ad Moysen: Servi tui sumus: faciemus quod jubet dominus noster.
26 Our little ones, our wives, and our flocks, and all our cattle, will be there in the towns of Gilead;
Parvulos nostros, et mulieres, et pecora, ac jumenta relinquemus in urbibus Galaad:
27 But your servants will go over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to the fight, as my lord says.
nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum, sicut tu, domine, loqueris.
28 So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel.
Præcepit ergo Moyses Eleazaro sacerdoti, et Josue filio Nun, et principibus familiarum per tribus Israël, et dixit ad eos:
29 And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:
Si transierint filii Gad et filii Ruben vobiscum Jordanem omnes armati ad bellum coram Domino, et vobis fuerit terra subjecta, date eis Galaad in possessionem.
30 But if they do not go over with you armed, they will have to take their heritage with you in the land of Canaan.
Sin autem noluerint transire armati vobiscum in terram Chanaan, inter vos habitandi accipiant loca.
31 Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said, 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 go over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and you will give us our heritage on this side of Jordan.
ipsi armati pergemus coram Domino in terram Chanaan, et possessionem jam suscepisse nos confitemur trans Jordanem.
33 So Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and Og, king of Bashan, all the land with its towns and the country round them.
Dedit itaque Moyses filiis Gad et Ruben, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse filii Joseph, regnum Sehon regis Amorrhæi, et regnum Og regis Basan, et terram eorum cum urbibus suis per circuitum.
34 And the children of Gad were the builders of Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer;
Igitur exstruxerunt filii Gad, Dibon, et Ataroth, et Aroër,
35 And Atroth-shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah;
et Etroth, et Sophan, et Jazer, et Jegbaa,
36 And Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran: walled towns and shut-in places for sheep.
et Bethnemra, et Betharan, urbes munitas, et caulas pecoribus suis.
37 And the children of Reuben were the builders of Heshbon and Elealeh and Kiriathaim;
Filii vero Ruben ædificaverunt Hesebon, et Eleale, et Cariathaim,
38 And Nebo and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the towns they made.
et Nabo, et Baalmeon versis nominibus, Sabama quoque: imponentes vocabula urbibus, quas exstruxerunt.
39 And the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it, driving out the Amorites who were living there.
Porro filii Machir filii Manasse, perrexerunt in Galaad, et vastaverunt eam interfecto Amorrhæo habitatore ejus.
40 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he made it his living-place.
Dedit ergo Moyses terram Galaad Machir filio Manasse, qui habitavit in ea.
41 And Jair, the son of Manasseh, went and took the towns of Gilead, naming them Havvoth-Jair.
Jair autem filius Manasse abiit, et occupavit vicos ejus, quos appellavit Havoth Jair, id est, Villas Jair.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath and its small towns, naming it Nobah, after himself.
Nobe quoque perrexit, et apprehendit Chanath cum viculis suis: vocavitque eam ex nomine suo Nobe.
