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;

¹Sinovi Rubenovi pa in sinovi Gadovi so imeli veliko množino čred, in videli so pokrajino Jazersko in Gileadsko, in glej, ta kraj je bil pripraven za živinorejo.

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,

²Pridejo torej sinovi Rubenovi in sinovi Gadovi in ogovore Mojzesa, Eleazarja duhovnika in kneze občine, rekoč:

³Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

³Atarot, Dibon, Jazer, Nimra, Hesbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo in Beon

⁴Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

⁴v deželi, ki jo je GOSPOD udaril pred Izraelovo občino, je dežela za živino, in mi, hlapci tvoji, imamo dosti živine.

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.

⁵Reko torej: Ako smo našli milost v tvojih očeh, daj to deželo v posest nam hlapcem svojim; ne vodi nas onkraj Jordana.

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?

⁶A Mojzes reče sinovom Gadovim in sinovom Rubenovim: Bratje vaši naj gredo v boj, vi pa hočete tu sedeti?

⁷And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

⁷In zakaj odvračate srce Izraelovih sinov, da ne bi šli tja v deželo, ki jim jo je dal GOSPOD?

⁸Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.

⁸Tako so storili očetje vaši, ko sem jih poslal iz Kades-barnee ogledat deželo;

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.

⁹ko so prišli gori do doline Eškolske in si ogledali deželo, so odvrnili srce sinov Izraelovih, da ne bi šli v deželo, ki jim jo je dal GOSPOD.

¹⁰And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

¹⁰In srd GOSPODOV se je razvnel tisti dan, in prisegel je, rekoč:

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:

¹¹Nihče izmed mož, ki so šli sem iz Egipta, od dvajsetletnih in više, ne bo videl dežele, ki sem jo s prisego obljubil Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu, zato ker niso hodili zvesto za mano,

¹²Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

¹²razen Kaleba, sina Jefunovega, Kenizejca, in Jozueta, sina Nunovega, kajti ona sta zvesto hodila za GOSPODOM.

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.

¹³In razvnel se je srd GOSPODOV zoper Izraela, in naredil je, da so se morali klatiti po puščavi štirideset let, dokler ni pomrl ves rod, ki je hudo ravnal pred očmi GOSPODOVIMI.

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.

¹⁴In glejte, vi ste stopili na mesto očetov svojih, izrastki grešnih ljudi, da še bolj pomnožite togoto srda GOSPODOVEGA zoper Izraela.

¹⁵For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

¹⁵Zakaj če se odvrnete in ne boste hodili za njim, on ga pusti še dalje v puščavi, in tako pogubite vse to ljudstvo.

¹⁶And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

¹⁶In stopijo k njemu bliže in reko: Samo ograje hočemo tu postaviti za živino svojo in mesta za otročiče svoje,

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.

¹⁷sami pa pojdemo oboroženi pred Izraelovimi sinovi, da jih spremimo na njih kraj. Otroci naši naj ostanejo v ograjenih mestih zaradi prebivalcev te dežele.

¹⁸We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

¹⁸Ne vrnemo se v hiše svoje, dokler ne posede sleherni sinov Izraelovih svoje dediščine.

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.

¹⁹Zakaj ž njimi nočemo ničesar podedovati onkraj Jordana in tam dalje, ako nam pripade dediščina naša na tej strani Jordana, proti jutru.

²⁰And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,

²⁰Nato jim veli Mojzes: Ako izpolnite to besedo, ako se oborožite in pojdete v boj pred GOSPODOM,

²¹And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

²¹in pride vsak oboroženec izmed vas čez Jordan pred GOSPODOM, dokler ne prežene sovražnikov svojih izpred sebe

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.

²²in bo zemlja podvržena pred GOSPODOM, in ako se šele potem vrnete, nedolžni bodete pred GOSPODOM in pred Izraelom, in ta dežela vam bodi v posest pred GOSPODOM.

²³But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

²³Ako pa ne storite tako, glejte, grešili ste zoper GOSPODA, in vedite, da vas greh vaš doleti.

²⁴Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

²⁴Postavite si mesta za otročiče svoje in ograje za živino svojo in storite, kakor so govorila usta vaša.

²⁵And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

²⁵In sinovi Gadovi in sinovi Rubenovi reko Mojzesu takole: Hlapci tvoji bodo storili, kakor je ukazal naš gospod.

²⁶Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

²⁶Otroci naši, žene naše, črede naše in vsa naša živina ostanejo tu v gileadskih mestih;

²⁷But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.

²⁷mi pa, tvoji hlapci, pojdemo, vsi oboroženi za vojsko, pred GOSPODOM v boj, kakor je govoril naš GOSPOD.

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:

²⁸Tedaj zapove Mojzes glede njih Eleazarju duhovniku in Jozuetu, sinu Nunovemu, in poglavarjem očetovin iz rodov Izraelovih sinov.

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:

²⁹In Mojzes jim reče: Ako pojdejo sinovi Gadovi in sinovi Rubenovi, vsi oboroženi, z vami čez Jordan v boj pred GOSPODOM in dežela vam bo podvržena, dajte jim pokrajino Gileadsko v posest;

³⁰But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

³⁰ako pa ne pojdejo oboroženi z vami na ono stran, naj imajo posestva med vami v deželi Kanaanski.

³¹And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

³¹Nato odgovore sinovi Gadovi in sinovi Rubenovi, rekoč: Kakor je govoril GOSPOD hlapcem tvojim, tako storimo.

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.

³²Pojdemo oboroženi pred GOSPODOM v deželo Kanaansko, a dedna posest nam ostani tostran Jordana.

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.

³³In dal je Mojzes sinovom Rubenovim in sinovom Gadovim in polovici rodu Manaseja, Jožefovega sinú, kraljestvo Sihona, kralja Amorejcev, in kraljestvo Oga, kralja basanskega, deželo in njena mesta ž njih okraji, mesta po deželi naokrog.

³⁴And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

³⁴In sinovi Gadovi so sezidali Dibon, Atarot, Aroer,

³⁵And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

³⁵Atrot-šofan, Jazer, Jogbeho,

³⁶And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.

³⁶Bet-nimro in Bet-haran: utrjena mesta in ograje za ovce.

³⁷And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

³⁷Sinovi Rubenovi so pa sezidali Hesbon, Eleale, Kirjataim,

³⁸And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

³⁸Nebo, Baal-meon (katerim so premenili imena) in Sibmo, in dali so druga imena mestom, ki so jih zgradili.

³⁹And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

³⁹A sinovi Mahirja, Manasejevega sinú, so šli v Gilead in zasedli ta kraj ter pregnali Amorejce, ki so bili v njem.

⁴⁰And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

⁴⁰In dal je Mojzes Gilead Mahirju, Manasejevemu sinu, in prebival je v njem.

⁴¹And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.

⁴¹Jair pa, sin Manasejev, je šel in zasedel njegove vasi in jih imenoval Jairove trge.Tudi Nobah je šel ter zasedel Kenat in podložne mu vasi in jih imenoval po svojem imenu Nobah.

⁴²And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

⁴²Tudi Nobah je šel ter zasedel Kenat in podložne mu vasi in jih imenoval po svojem imenu Nobah.
