1Filii autem Ruben et Gad habebant pecora multa, et erat illis in jumentis infinita substantia. Cumque vidissent Jazer et Galaad aptas animalibus alendis terras,
1Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. They saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead. Behold, the place was a place for livestock.
2venerunt ad Moysen, et ad Elezarum sacerdotem, et principes multitudinis, atque dixerunt:
2Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
3Ataroth, et Dibon, et Jazer, et Nemra, Hesebon, et Eleale, et Saban, et Nebo, et Beon,
3“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4terra, quam percussit Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israël, regio uberrima est ad pastum animalium: et nos servi tui habemus jumenta plurima,
4the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”
5precamurque si invenimus gratiam coram te, ut des nobis famulis tuis eam in possessionem, nec facias nos transire Jordanem.
5They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.”
6Quibus respondit Moyses: Numquid fratres vestri ibunt ad pugnam, et vos hic sedebitis?
6Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7cur subvertitis mentes filiorum Israël, ne transire audeant in locum, quem eis daturus est Dominus?
7Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8Nonne ita egerunt patres vestri, quando misi de Cadesbarne ad explorandam terram?
8Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
9cumque venissent usque ad Vallem botri, lustrata omni regione, subverterunt cor filiorum Israël, ut non intrarent fines, quos eis Dominus dedit.
9For 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.
10Qui iratus juravit, dicens:
10The LORD’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying,
11Si 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,
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,
12præter Caleb filium Jephone Cenezæum, et Josue filium Nun: isti impleverunt voluntatem meam.
12except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed the LORD completely.’
13Iratusque Dominus adversum Israël, circumduxit eum per desertum quadraginta annis, donec consumeretur universa generatio, quæ fecerat malum in conspectu ejus.
13The LORD’s anger burned 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 LORD’s sight was consumed.
14Et ecce, inquit, vos surrexistis pro patribus vestris, incrementa et alumni hominum peccatorum, ut augeretis furorem Domini contra Israël.
14“Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
15Quod si nolueritis sequi eum, in solitudine populum derelinquet, et vos causa eritis necis omnium.
15For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all these people.”
16At illi prope accedentes, dixerunt: Caulas ovium fabricabimus, et stabula jumentorum, parvulis quoque nostris urbes munitas:
16They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones;
17nos 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.
17but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18Non revertemur in domos nostras, usque dum possideant filii Israël hæreditatem suam:
18We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their inheritance.
19nec quidquam quæremus trans Jordanem, quia jam habemus nostram possessionem in orientali ejus plaga.
19For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.”
20Quibus Moyses ait: Si facitis quod promittitis, expediti pergite coram Domino ad pugnam:
20Moses said to them: “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
21et omnis vir bellator armatus Jordanem transeat, donec subvertat Dominus inimicos suos,
21and every one of your armed men will pass over the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
22et subjiciatur ei omnis terra: tunc eritis inculpabiles apud Dominum et apud Israël, et obtinebitis regiones, quas vultis, coram Domino.
22and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be clear of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. Then this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
23Sin autem quod dicitis, non feceritis, nulli dubium est quin peccetis in Deum: et scitote quoniam peccatum vestrum apprehendet vos.
23“But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.
24Ædificate ergo urbes parvulis vestris, et caulas, et stabula ovibus ac jumentis: et quod polliciti estis, implete.
24Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.”
25Dixeruntque filii Gad et Ruben ad Moysen: Servi tui sumus: faciemus quod jubet dominus noster.
25The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands.
26Parvulos nostros, et mulieres, et pecora, ac jumenta relinquemus in urbibus Galaad:
26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum, sicut tu, domine, loqueris.
27but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says.”
28Præcepit ergo Moyses Eleazaro sacerdoti, et Josue filio Nun, et principibus familiarum per tribus Israël, et dixit ad eos:
28So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the children of Israel.
29Si transierint filii Gad et filii Ruben vobiscum Jordanem omnes armati ad bellum coram Domino, et vobis fuerit terra subjecta, date eis Galaad in possessionem.
29Moses said to them, “If the children of Gad and the children 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 shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30Sin autem noluerint transire armati vobiscum in terram Chanaan, inter vos habitandi accipiant loca.
30but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”
31Responderuntque filii Gad et filii Ruben: Sicut locutus est Dominus servis suis, ita faciemus:
31The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.
32ipsi armati pergemus coram Domino in terram Chanaan, et possessionem jam suscepisse nos confitemur trans Jordanem.
32We 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.”
33Dedit 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.
33Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children 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.
34Igitur exstruxerunt filii Gad, Dibon, et Ataroth, et Aroër,
34The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35et Etroth, et Sophan, et Jazer, et Jegbaa,
35Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36et Bethnemra, et Betharan, urbes munitas, et caulas pecoribus suis.
36Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities and folds for sheep.
37Filii vero Ruben ædificaverunt Hesebon, et Eleale, et Cariathaim,
37The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38et Nabo, et Baalmeon versis nominibus, Sabama quoque: imponentes vocabula urbibus, quas exstruxerunt.
38Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built.
39Porro filii Machir filii Manasse, perrexerunt in Galaad, et vastaverunt eam interfecto Amorrhæo habitatore ejus.
39The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein.
40Dedit ergo Moyses terram Galaad Machir filio Manasse, qui habitavit in ea.
40Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein.
41Jair autem filius Manasse abiit, et occupavit vicos ejus, quos appellavit Havoth Jair, id est, Villas Jair.
41Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its villages, and called them Havvoth Jair.
42Nobe quoque perrexit, et apprehendit Chanath cum viculis suis: vocavitque eam ex nomine suo Nobe.
