Números 32
Diodati 1885
1OR i figliuoli di Ruben, e i figliuoli di Gad, aveano del bestiame in grandissimo numero: laonde, veggendo che il paese di Iazer, e il paese di Galaad, era luogo da bestiame;
2vennero, e parlarono a Mosè, e al Sacerdote Eleazaro, e a' Capi della raunanza, dicendo:
3Atarot, e Dibon, e Iazer, e Nimra, e Hesbon, ed Eleale, e Sebam, e Nebo, e Beon,
4che è il paese che il Signore ha percosso davanti alla raunanza d'Israele, è un paese da bestiame, e i tuoi servitori hanno del bestiame.
5Poi dissero: Se abbiamo trovata grazia appo te, sia dato questo paese a possedere ai tuoi servitori, e non farci passare il Giordano.
6Ma Mosè rispose a' figliuoli di Gad, e a' figliuoli di Ruben: Andrebbero i vostri fratelli alla guerra, e voi ve ne stareste qui?
7E perchè rendete voi fiacco il cuor de' figliuoli d'Israele, per non passare al paese, che il Signore ha loro donato?
8Così fecero i vostri padri, quando io li mandai da Cades-barnea, per vedere il paese.
9Perciocchè essi salirono fino alla Valle di Escol, e, dopo ch'ebbero veduto il paese, renderono fiacco il cuor de' figliuoli d'Israele, per non entrar nel paese che il Signore avea loro donato.
10Laonde, l'ira del Signore si accesse in quel giorno, ed egli giurò, dicendo:
11Se gli uomini, che sono usciti fuor di Egitto, dall'età di vent'anni in su, veggono mai la terra, della quale io ho giurato ad Abrahamo, a Isacco e a Giacobbe; conciossiachè non mi abbiano seguitato appieno;
12salvo Caleb, figliuolo di Gefunne, Chenizzeo, e Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun; perciocchè essi hanno seguitato il Signore appieno.
13E l'ira del Signore si accese contro a Israele; ed egli li ha fatti andar vagando per lo deserto, lo spazio di quarant'anni, finchè sia stata consumata tutta quella generazione, che avea fatto quel male nel cospetto del Signore.
14Ed ecco, voi siete sorti in luogo de' vostri padri, schiatta d'uomini peccatori, per accrescere ancora l'ira del Signore contro a Israele.
15Perciocchè, se voi vi stornate di dietro a lui, egli seguiterà a lasciarlo nel deserto; e così farete perir tutto questo popolo.
16Ma essi si accostarono a lui, e dissero: Noi edificheremo qui delle mandre per lo nostro bestiame, e delle città per le nostre famiglie.
17Ma noi ci metteremo in ordine, pronti per andar davanti a' figliuoli d'Israele, infino a tanto che li abbiamo condotti al luogo loro; e in questo mezzo le nostre famiglie dimoreranno nelle città forti, per tema degli abitanti del paese.
18Noi non ritorneremo alle case nostre, finchè ciascuno de' figliuoli d'Israele non sia entrato nella sua eredità.
19Perciocchè, quant'è a noi, noi non possederemo nulla con loro di là dal Giordano; essendoci la nostra eredità scaduta di qua dal Giordano, verso oriente.
20E Mosè disse loro: Se voi fate questa cosa, e siete in ordine per andare alla guerra, davanti al Signore;
21e qualunque di voi è atto alla guerra, passa il Giordano davanti al Signore, finchè egli abbia cacciati i suoi nemici dal suo cospetto;
22dopo che il paese sarà stato soggiogato al Signore, voi potrete ritornarvene, e sarete fuor di colpa appo il Signore, e appo Israele; e questo paese sarà vostro, per possederlo nel cospetto del Signore.
23Ma, se non fate così, ecco, voi avrete peccato contro al Signore; e sappiate che il vostro peccato vi ritroverà.
24Edificatevi delle città per le vostre famiglie, e delle mandre per le vostre gregge, e fate ciò che vi è uscito della bocca.
25E i figliuoli di Gad, e i figliuoli di Ruben, risposero a Mosè, dicendo: I tuoi servitori faranno come il mio signore comanda.
26I nostri piccoli fanciulli, le nostre mogli, le nostre gregge, e tutto il nostro bestiame dimoreranno colà nelle città di Galaad.
27Ma quant'è a' tuoi servitori chiunque sarà atto alla guerra passerà alla guerra, davanti al Signore, come dice il mio signore.
28E Mosè diede ordine intorno a loro al Sacerdote Eleazaro, e a Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun, e a' Capi delle nazioni paterne delle tribù de' figliuoli d'Israele;
29e disse loro: Se tutti coloro d'infra i figliuoli di Gad, e i figliuoli di Ruben, che sono atti alla guerra, passano con voi il Giordano davanti al Signore, quando il paese vi sarà soggiogato, date loro a possedere il paese di Galaad.
30Ma, se non passano con voi in arme, abbiano la lor possessione fra voi nel paese di Canaan.
31E i figliuoli di Gad, e i figliuoli di Ruben, risposero, dicendo: Noi faremo interamente come il Signore ha detto ai tuoi servitori.
32Noi passeremo in arme nel paese di Canaan, davanti al Signore; sol restici la possessione della nostra eredità di qua dal Giordano.
33Mosè adunque diede loro, a' figliuoli di Gad, a' figliuoli di Ruben, e alla metà della tribù di Manasse, figliuolo di Giuseppe, il regno di Sihon, re degli Amorrei, e il regno di Og, re di Basan, il paese diviso per le sue città, co' lor confini, le città del paese d'ogni intorno.
34E i figliuoli di Gad riedificarono Dibon, e Atarot, e Aroer;
35e Atrotsofan, e Iazer, e Iogbeha;
36e Betnimra, e Bet-haran, città forti, e fecero ancora delle mandre per le gregge.
37E i figliuoli di Ruben riedificarono Hesbon, ed Eleale, e Chiriataim;
38e Nebo, e Baal-meon, mutati i nomi, e Sibma; e posero altri nomi alle città che riedificarono.
39E i figliuoli di Machir, figliuolo di Manasse, andarono in Galaad, e lo presero, e cacciarono gli Amorrei che vi erano.
40Mosè adunque diede Galaad a Machir, figliuolo di Manasse; ed egli abitò quivi.
41Iair anch'egli, figliuolo di Manasse, andò, e prese le villate di quelli, e pose loro nome: Le villate di Iair.
42Noba parimente andò, e prese Chenat, e le terre del suo territorio; e chiamò quella Noba, del suo nome.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y LOS hijos de Rubén y los hijos de Gad tenían una muy grande muchedumbre de ganado; los cuales viendo la tierra de Jazer y de Galaad, parecióles el país lugar de ganado.
2Y vinieron los hijos de Gad y los hijos de Rubén, y hablaron á Moisés, y á Eleazar el sacerdote, y á los príncipes de la congregación, diciendo:
3Ataroth, y Dibón, y Jazer, y Nimra, y Hesbón, y Eleale, y Sabán, y Nebo, y Beón,
4La tierra que Jehová hirió delante de la congregación de Israel, es tierra de ganado, y tus siervos tienen ganado.
5Por tanto, dijeron, si hallamos gracia en tus ojos, dése esta tierra á tus siervos en heredad, y no nos hagas pasar el Jordán.
6Y respondió Moisés á los hijos de Gad y á los hijos de Rubén: ¿Vendrán vuestros hermanos á la guerra, y vosotros os quedaréis aquí?
7¿Y por qué prevenís el ánimo de los hijos de Israel, para que no pasen á la tierra que les ha dado Jehová?
8Así hicieron vuestros padres, cuando los envié desde Cades-barnea para que viesen la tierra.
9Que subieron hasta la arroyada de Escol, y después que vieron la tierra, preocuparon el ánimo de los hijos de Israel, para que no viniesen á la tierra que Jehová les había dado.
10Y el furor de Jehová se encendió entonces, y juró diciendo:
11Que no verán los varones que subieron de Egipto de veinte años arriba, la tierra por la cual juré á Abraham, Isaac, y Jacob, por cuanto no fueron perfectos en pos de mí;
12Excepto Caleb, hijo de Jephone Cenezeo, y Josué hijo de Nun, que fueron perfectos en pos de Jehová.
13Y el furor de Jehová se encendió en Israel, é hízolos andar errantes cuarenta años por el desierto, hasta que fué acabada toda aquella generación, que había hecho mal delante de Jehová.
14Y he aquí vosotros habéis sucedido en lugar de vuestros padres, prole de hombres pecadores, para añadir aún á la ira de Jehová contra Israel.
15Si os volviereis de en pos de él, él volverá otra vez á dejaros en el desierto, y destruiréis á todo este pueblo.
16Entonces ellos se llegaron á él y dijeron: Edificaremos aquí majadas para nuestro ganado, y ciudades para nuestros niños;
17Y nosotros nos armaremos, é iremos con diligencia delante de los hijos de Israel, hasta que los metamos en su lugar: y nuestros niños quedarán en ciudades fuertes á causa de los moradores del país.
18No volveremos á nuestras casas hasta que los hijos de Israel posean cada uno su heredad.
19Porque no tomaremos heredad con ellos al otro lado del Jordán ni adelante, por cuanto tendremos ya nuestra heredad de estotra parte del Jordán al oriente.
20Entonces les respondió Moisés: Si lo hiciereis así, si os apercibiereis para ir delante de Jehová á la guerra,
21Y pasareis todos vosotros armados el Jordán delante de Jehová, hasta que haya echado á sus enemigos de delante de sí,
22Y sea el país sojuzgado delante de Jehová; luego volveréis, y seréis libres de culpa para con Jehová, y para con Israel; y esta tierra será vuestra en heredad delante de Jehová.
23Mas si así no lo hiciereis, he aquí habréis pecado á Jehová; y sabed que os alcanzará vuestro pecado.
24Edificaos ciudades para vuestros niños, y majadas para vuestras ovejas, y haced lo que ha salido de vuestra boca.
25Y hablaron los hijos de Gad y los hijos de Rubén á Moisés, diciendo: Tus siervos harán como mi señor ha mandado.
26Nuestros niños, nuestras mujeres, nuestros ganados, y todas nuestras bestias, estarán ahí en las ciudades de Galaad;
27Y tus siervos, armados todos de guerra, pasarán delante de Jehová á la guerra, de la manera que mi señor dice.
28Entonces los encomendó Moisés á Eleazar el sacerdote, y á Josué hijo de Nun, y á los príncipes de los padres de las tribus de los hijos de Israel.
29Y díjoles Moisés: Si los hijos de Gad y los hijos de Rubén, pasaren con vosotros el Jordán, armados todos de guerra delante de Jehová, luego que el país fuere sojuzgado delante de vosotros, les daréis la tierra de Galaad en posesión:
30Mas si no pasaren armados con vosotros, entonces tendrán posesión entre vosotros en la tierra de Canaán.
31Y los hijos de Gad y los hijos de Rubén respondieron, diciendo: Haremos lo que Jehová ha dicho á tus siervos.
32Nosotros pasaremos armados delante de Jehová á la tierra de Canaán, y la posesión de nuestra heredad será de esta parte del Jordán.
33Así les dió Moisés á los hijos de Gad y á los hijos de Rubén, y á la media tribu de Manasés hijo de José, el reino de Sehón rey Amorrheo, y el reino de Og rey de Basán, la tierra con sus ciudades y términos, las ciudades del país alrededor.
34Y los hijos de Gad edificaron á Dibón, y á Ataroth, y á Aroer,
35Y á Atroth-sophan, y á Jazer, y á Jogbaa,
36Y á Beth-nimra, y á Betharán: ciudades fuertes, y también majadas para ovejas.
37Y los hijos de Rubén edificaron á Hesbón, y á Eleale, y á Kiriathaim,
38Y á Nebo, y á Baal-meón, (mudados los nombres), y á Sibma: y pusieron nombres á las ciudades que edificaron.
39Y los hijos de Machîr hijo de Manasés fueron á Galaad, y tomáronla, y echaron al Amorrheo que estaba en ella.
40Y Moisés dió Galaad á Machîr hijo de Manasés, el cual habitó en ella.
41También Jair hijo de Manasés fué y tomó sus aldeas, y púsoles por nombre Havoth-jair.
42Asimismo Noba fué y tomó á Kenath y sus aldeas, y llamóle Noba, conforme á su nombre.
King James Version
1Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;
2The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
3Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
5Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
6And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
8Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
9For when they went up unto 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.
10And the LORD’s anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
11Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
12Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
13And the LORD’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
14And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
15For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
17But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
19For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
20And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
21And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
22And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
23But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
24Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
27But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
28So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
29And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
30But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
32We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.
33And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto 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, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.
34And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
37And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
39And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
40And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth-jair.
42And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
World English Bible
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.
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,
3“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”
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.”
6Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
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.
10The LORD’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying,
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,
12except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed the LORD completely.’
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.
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.
15For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all these people.”
16They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones;
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.
18We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their inheritance.
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.”
20Moses said to them: “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
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,
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.
23“But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.
24Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.”
25The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands.
26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says.”
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.
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;
30but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”
31The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.
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.”
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.
34The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities and folds for sheep.
37The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built.
39The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein.
40Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein.
41Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its villages, and called them Havvoth Jair.
42Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
