Conquest and Division of Transjordan
32 Now the Reubenites and the Gadites owned a very great number of cattle. When they saw that the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was a good place for cattle, 2 the Gadites and the Reubenites came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying, 3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon— 4 the land that the Lord subdued before the congregation of Israel—is a land for cattle; and your servants have cattle.” 5 They continued, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not make us cross the Jordan.”
6 But Moses said to the Gadites and to the Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here? 7 Why will you discourage the hearts of the Israelites from going over into the land that the Lord has given them? 8 Your fathers did this, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. 9 When they went up to the Wadi Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the hearts of the Israelites from going into the land that the Lord had given them. 10 The Lord’s anger was kindled on that day and he swore, saying, 11 ‘Surely none of the people who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not unreservedly followed me— 12 none except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they have unreservedly followed the Lord.’ 13 And the Lord’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness for forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord had disappeared. 14 And now you, a brood of sinners, have risen in place of your fathers, to increase the Lord’s fierce anger against Israel! 15 If you turn away from following him, he will again abandon them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people.”
16 Then they came up to him and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our flocks, and towns for our little ones, 17 but we will take up arms as a vanguard[a] before the Israelites, until we have brought them to their place. Meanwhile our little ones will stay in the fortified towns because of the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until all the Israelites have obtained their inheritance. 19 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 to the east.”
20 So Moses said to them, “If you do this—if you take up arms to go before the Lord for the war, 21 and all those of you who bear arms cross the Jordan before the Lord, until he has driven out his enemies from before him 22 and the land is subdued before the Lord—then after that you may return and be free of obligation to the Lord and to Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the Lord. 23 But if you do not do this, you have sinned against the Lord; and be sure your sin will find you out. 24 Build towns for your little ones, and folds for your flocks; but do what you have promised.”
25 Then the Gadites and the Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do as my lord commands. 26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall remain there in the towns of Gilead; 27 but your servants will cross over, everyone armed for war, to do battle for the Lord, just as my lord orders.”
28 So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the heads of the ancestral houses of the Israelite tribes. 29 And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and the Reubenites, everyone armed for battle before the Lord, will cross over the Jordan with you and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession; 30 but if they will not cross over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.” 31 The Gadites and the Reubenites answered, “As the Lord has spoken to your servants, so we will do. 32 We will cross over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, but the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us on this side of[b] the Jordan.”
33 Moses gave to them—to the Gadites and to the Reubenites and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph—the kingdom of King Sihon of the Amorites and the kingdom of King Og of Bashan, the land and its towns, with the territories of the surrounding towns. 34 And the Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, 35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, 36 Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities, and folds for sheep. 37 And the Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim, 38 Nebo, and Baal-meon (some names being changed), and Sibmah; and they gave names to the towns that they rebuilt. 39 The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were there; 40 so Moses gave Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he settled there. 41 Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their villages, and renamed them Havvoth-jair.[c] 42 And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and renamed it Nobah after himself.

32 ¶ Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock, and when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, it seemed unto them that the place was a place for livestock.
2 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses and to Eleazar, the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
3 Ataroth and Dibon and Jazer and Nimrah and Heshbon and Elealeh and Shebam and Nebo and Beon,
4 the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and thy slaves have livestock.
5 Therefore, they said, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy slaves for a possession and do not make us pass the Jordan.
6 And Moses said unto the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7 Why do ye discourage the heart of the sons of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8 Thus did your fathers when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the sons of Israel that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
10 And the LORD’s anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they were not perfect in following me,
12 except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua, the son of Nun, for they were perfect in following the LORD.
13 And 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.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in the place of your fathers, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave you in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16 ¶ Then they came near unto him and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones,
17 but we ourselves will go arm ourselves and go with diligence before the sons 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.
18 We will not return unto our houses until the sons of Israel have inherited each man his inheritance.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan or forward because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.
20 Then Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will prepare yourselves to go before the LORD to the war
21 and will all pass the Jordan armed before the LORD until he has driven out his enemies from before him
22 and the land is 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.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye shall have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will catch up with you.
24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.
25 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying, Thy slaves will do as my lord commands.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our beasts, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27 but thy slaves, each one armed for war, will pass before the LORD to battle, as our lord saith.
28 ¶ So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the princes of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
29 And Moses said unto them, If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben will pass the Jordan with you, each one armed to battle, before the LORD, after the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession.
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD has said unto thy slaves, so will we do.
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side of the Jordan shall be ours.
33 Thus Moses gave unto the sons of Gad and to the sons 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 its cities and borders, even the cities of the country round about.
34 And the sons of Gad built Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer
35 and Atroth-shophan and Jaazer and Jogbehah
36 and Bethnimrah and Bethharan, fenced cities, and also folds for sheep.
37 And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon and Elealeh and Kirjathaim
38 and Nebo and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Shibmah and gave other names unto the cities which they built.
39 And the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it and dispossessed the Amorite who was in it.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41 Jair, the son of Manasseh also went and took the small towns thereof and called them Havothjair.
42 Likewise Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.

Cuộc Chinh Phục và Chia Ðất Phía Ðông Sông Giô-đanh
32 Lúc bấy giờ con cháu Ru-bên và con cháu Gát đã làm chủ nhiều đàn súc vật đông đúc. Khi họ thấy miền Gia-xe và miền Ghi-lê-át là nơi thích hiệp để nuôi các đàn súc vật, 2 con cháu Ru-bên và con cháu Gát đến nói với Môi-se, Tư Tế Ê-lê-a-xa, và các vị lãnh đạo của hội chúng rằng, 3 “A-ta-rốt, Ði-bôn, Gia-xe, Nim-ra, Hếch-bôn, Ê-lê-a-lê, Sê-bam, Nê-bô, và Bê-ôn, 4 những vùng mà Chúa đã đánh bại trước mặt hội chúng I-sơ-ra-ên là những vùng thật tốt cho việc nuôi bầy súc vật, và các tôi tớ ông có nhiều bầy súc vật.” 5 Họ nói tiếp, “Nếu chúng tôi được ơn trước mặt ông, xin ban những vùng đất ấy cho các tôi tớ ông làm sản nghiệp. Xin đừng bắt chúng tôi phải qua bên kia Sông Giô-đanh.”
6 Nhưng Môi-se nói với con cháu Gát và con cháu Ru-bên, “Anh em của anh em sẽ ra trận mà anh em ngồi đây sao? 7 Tại sao anh em làm nản lòng dân I-sơ-ra-ên trong việc đi qua chiếm xứ mà Chúa đã ban cho họ? 8 Tổ phụ anh em đã làm như vậy khi tôi sai họ từ Ca-đe Ba-nê-a đi do thám xứ. 9 Khi họ đến Khe Ếch-côn và nhìn thấy xứ, rồi trở về xui cho dân nản lòng không muốn vào xứ mà Chúa đã ban cho họ. 10 Chúa đã nổi giận trong ngày đó và thề rằng, 11 ‘Chắc chắn không một ai trong dân đã ra khỏi Ai-cập từ hai mươi tuổi trở lên sẽ thấy xứ mà Ta đã thề ban cho Áp-ra-ham, I-sác, và Gia-cốp, vì chúng đã không hết lòng tin tưởng và theo Ta, 12 ngoại trừ Ca-lép con của Giê-phu-nê người Kê-nít, và Giô-suê con của Nun, vì họ đã hết lòng tin tưởng và theo Chúa.’ 13 Cơn giận của Chúa đã nổi bừng lên đối với dân I-sơ-ra-ên. Ngài đã khiến họ đi lang thang bốn mươi năm trong đồng hoang, cho đến khi mọi người trong thế hệ đã làm điều tội lỗi trước mặt Chúa đó đều qua đời. 14 Nầy, bây giờ anh em tính nổi lên thay cho cha anh mình, những người tội lỗi, làm gia tăng cơn giận của Chúa đối với I-sơ-ra-ên nữa sao? 15 Nếu anh em quyết định lìa bỏ Ngài, Ngài sẽ lìa bỏ anh em trong đồng hoang, và như thế anh em sẽ tiêu diệt cả dân nầy.”
16 Những người đó đến gần Môi-se và nói, “Chúng tôi xin được xây cất các ràn cho các đàn chiên chúng tôi, xây dựng thành trì cho các con nhỏ chúng tôi, 17 rồi chúng tôi sẽ lập tức cầm binh khí mình đi tiên phong trước dân I-sơ-ra-ên cho đến khi chúng tôi đem họ vào nơi sẽ được chia cho họ, trong khi đó các con nhỏ chúng tôi đã được ở trong các thành kiên cố, vì các dân bản xứ vẫn còn đó. 18 Chúng tôi sẽ không trở về nhà mình cho đến khi toàn thể dân I-sơ-ra-ên đã vào nhận lấy phần cơ nghiệp của mình. 19 Chúng tôi sẽ không chia phần cơ nghiệp với họ bên kia Sông Giô-đanh hoặc những vùng xa hơn ở bên đó, bởi vì phần cơ nghiệp của chúng tôi ở phía đông nầy của Sông Giô-đanh.”
20 Môi-se nói với họ, “Nếu anh em làm điều nầy: Anh em sẽ cầm lấy binh khí mình đi trước mặt Chúa vào trận mạc, 21 tất cả anh em phải mang vũ khí mình đi qua Sông Giô-đanh trước mặt Chúa cho đến khi Ngài đã đuổi tất cả quân thù của Ngài khỏi mặt Ngài, 22 và cả xứ bị khuất phục trước mặt Chúa, rồi sau đó anh em mới trở về, bấy giờ anh em sẽ được xem như đã làm xong trách nhiệm đối với Chúa và đối với dân I-sơ-ra-ên, rồi xứ nầy sẽ được xem là phần sản nghiệp của anh em trước mặt Chúa. 23 Nếu anh em không làm điều ấy, anh em sẽ mắc tội trước mặt Chúa; và chắc chắn anh em sẽ chuốc lấy hậu quả của tội lỗi đó cho mình. 24 Hãy xây dựng thành trì cho các con nhỏ của anh em, hãy xây cất các ràn cho các đàn chiên và dê của anh em, và hãy nhớ giữ lời anh em đã hứa.”
25 Bấy giờ con cháu Gát và con cháu Ru-bên nói với Môi-se, “Các tôi tớ chúa sẽ làm y như chúa truyền. 26 Các con trẻ chúng tôi, vợ chúng tôi, các đàn súc vật chúng tôi, và tất cả bầy gia súc của chúng tôi sẽ ở lại trong các thành trong miền Ghi-lê-át, 27 nhưng các tôi tớ của chúa sẽ đi qua Sông Giô-đanh. Ai nấy sẽ trang bị để ra chiến trường, hầu đánh trận cho Chúa, như ngài truyền.”
28 Môi-se ban lịnh về họ cho Tư Tế Ê-lê-a-xa, cho Giô-suê con của Nun, và cho các thủ lãnh của các chi tộc I-sơ-ra-ên. 29 Môi-se nói với họ, “Nếu con cháu Gát và con cháu Ru-bên mỗi người đều mang lấy khí giới của mình đi ra đánh trận trước mặt Chúa, nếu họ cùng đi qua Sông Giô-đanh với anh em và nếu đất đó bị khuất phục trước mặt anh em, anh em hãy ban cho họ miền Ghi-lê-át làm sản nghiệp; 30 nhưng nếu họ không mang lấy vũ khí đi qua Sông Giô-đanh với anh em, họ sẽ nhận phần sản nghiệp của họ ở giữa anh em trong đất Ca-na-an.”
31 Con cháu Gát và con cháu Ru-bên bèn trả lời, “Như Chúa đã truyền cho các tôi tớ Ngài thế nào, chúng tôi sẽ làm y như thế đó. 32 Chúng tôi sẽ mang vũ khí đi qua sông trước mặt Chúa, để vào chiếm đất Ca-na-an, nhưng phần sản nghiệp chúng tôi sẽ nằm phía bên nầy Sông Giô-đanh.”
33 Môi-se ban cho họ –tức các con cháu Gát, các con cháu Ru-bên, và phân nửa chi tộc Ma-na-se con trai Giô-sép– vương quốc của Si-hôn vua dân A-mô-ri và vương quốc của Óc vua Ba-san, tức lãnh thổ và các thành của các xứ ấy, và đất đai chung quanh các thành đó.
34 Con cháu Gát xây dựng lại các thành Ði-bôn, A-ta-rốt, A-rô-e, 35 A-trốt Sô-phan, Gia-xe, Gióp-bê-ha, 36 Bết Nim-ra, và Bết Ha-ran trở nên những thành kiên cố, và họ cũng xây cất các ràn để giữ chiên và dê.
37 Con cháu Ru-bên xây dựng lại các thành Hếch-bôn, Ê-lê-a-lê, Ki-ri-át-ha-im, 38 Nê-bô, Ba-anh Mê-ôn (các thành nầy đã đổi tên), và Síp-ma. Họ đặt tên lại cho các thành họ tái xây dựng.
39 Con cháu của Ma-khia con trai Ma-na-se đến Ghi-lê-át, chiếm lấy miền đó, và đuổi người A-mô-ri ở đó đi. 40 Vì thế Môi-se ban miền Ghi-lê-át cho Ma-khia con trai Ma-na-se, và ông định cư tại đó.
41 Giai-rơ con trai Ma-na-se đến chiếm lấy các thị trấn trong miền đó và đặt tên lại là Ha-vốt Giai-rơ.[a]
42 Nô-ba đến chiếm lấy thành Kê-nát và các thị trấn trực thuộc thành đó, rồi lấy tên mình là Nô-ba mà đặt tên cho cả vùng đó.

The Transjordan Tribes
32 The Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks,(A) saw that the lands of Jazer(B) and Gilead(C) were suitable for livestock.(D) 2 So they came to Moses and Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the community,(E) and said, 3 “Ataroth,(F) Dibon,(G) Jazer,(H) Nimrah,(I) Heshbon,(J) Elealeh,(K) Sebam,(L) Nebo(M) and Beon(N)— 4 the land the Lord subdued(O) before the people of Israel—are suitable for livestock,(P) and your servants have livestock. 5 If we have found favor in your eyes,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as our possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.(Q)”
6 Moses said to the Gadites and Reubenites, “Should your fellow Israelites go to war while you sit here? 7 Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the Lord has given them?(R) 8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over the land.(S) 9 After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol(T) and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the Lord had given them. 10 The Lord’s anger was aroused(U) that day and he swore this oath:(V) 11 ‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more(W) when they came up out of Egypt(X) will see the land I promised on oath(Y) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(Z)— 12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the Lord wholeheartedly.’(AA) 13 The Lord’s anger burned against Israel(AB) and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone.(AC)
14 “And here you are, a brood of sinners, standing in the place of your fathers and making the Lord even more angry with Israel.(AD) 15 If you turn away from following him, he will again leave all this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.(AE)”
16 Then they came up to him and said, “We would like to build pens(AF) here for our livestock(AG) and cities for our women and children. 17 But we will arm ourselves for battle[a] and go ahead of the Israelites(AH) until we have brought them to their place.(AI) Meanwhile our women and children will live in fortified cities, for protection from the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has received their inheritance.(AJ) 19 We will not receive any inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance(AK) has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”(AL)
20 Then Moses said to them, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle(AM) 21 and if all of you who are armed cross over the Jordan before the Lord until he has driven his enemies out before him(AN)— 22 then when the land is subdued before the Lord, you may return(AO) and be free from your obligation to the Lord and to Israel. And this land will be your possession(AP) before the Lord.(AQ)
23 “But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the Lord; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.(AR) 24 Build cities for your women and children, and pens for your flocks,(AS) but do what you have promised.(AT)”
25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “We your servants will do as our lord commands.(AU) 26 Our children and wives, our flocks and herds will remain here in the cities of Gilead.(AV) 27 But your servants, every man who is armed for battle, will cross over to fight(AW) before the Lord, just as our lord says.”
28 Then Moses gave orders about them(AX) to Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun(AY) and to the family heads of the Israelite tribes.(AZ) 29 He said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites, every man armed for battle, cross over the Jordan with you before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you,(BA) you must give them the land of Gilead as their possession.(BB) 30 But if they do not cross over(BC) with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan.(BD)”
31 The Gadites and Reubenites answered, “Your servants will do what the Lord has said.(BE) 32 We will cross over before the Lord into Canaan armed,(BF) but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan.(BG)”
33 Then Moses gave to the Gadites,(BH) the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh(BI) son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites(BJ) and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan(BK)—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.(BL)
34 The Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,(BM) 35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer,(BN) Jogbehah,(BO) 36 Beth Nimrah(BP) and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and built pens for their flocks.(BQ) 37 And the Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon,(BR) Elealeh(BS) and Kiriathaim,(BT) 38 as well as Nebo(BU) and Baal Meon (these names were changed) and Sibmah.(BV) They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.
39 The descendants of Makir(BW) son of Manasseh went to Gilead,(BX) captured it and drove out the Amorites(BY) who were there. 40 So Moses gave Gilead to the Makirites,(BZ) the descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there. 41 Jair,(CA) a descendant of Manasseh, captured their settlements and called them Havvoth Jair.[b](CB) 42 And Nobah captured Kenath(CC) and its surrounding settlements and called it Nobah(CD) after himself.(CE)
