Numbers 32
King James Version
32 Now 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;
2 The 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,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 Even the country which the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
5 Wherefore, 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.
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath 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 children 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 sware, 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 sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed 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 your fathers' stead, 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 them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
17 But 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.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the Lord to war,
21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the Lord, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
22 And 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.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.
28 So 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:
29 And 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:
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 children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
32 We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be our's.
33 And 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.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
37 And the children 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 builded.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
民數記 32
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
約旦河東的支派(A)
32 呂便子孫和迦得子孫的牲畜極其眾多。他們看到雅謝地和基列地；看哪，這是可牧放牲畜的地方。 2 呂便子孫和迦得子孫就到摩西和以利亞撒祭司，以及會眾的領袖那裏，說： 3 「亞他錄、底本、雅謝、寧拉、希實本、以利亞利、示班、尼波、比穩， 4 就是耶和華在以色列會眾面前所攻取之地，是可牧放牲畜之地，而你的僕人也有牲畜。」 5 又說：「我們若在你眼前蒙恩，求你把這地給我們為業；不要領我們過約旦河。」
6 摩西對迦得子孫和呂便子孫說：「難道你們的弟兄去打仗，你們卻留在這裏嗎？ 7 你們為甚麼使以色列人灰心，不渡過去，進入耶和華所賜給他們的那地呢？ 8 我從加低斯‧巴尼亞派你們的父執之輩去窺探那地時，他們就曾這樣做過。 9 他們上到以實各谷，窺探了那地之後，竟然使以色列人灰心，不願進入耶和華所賜給他們的地。 10 當日，耶和華的怒氣發作，起誓說： 11 『凡從埃及上來二十歲以上的人，斷不得看見我對亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許之地，因為他們沒有專心跟從我； 12 惟有基尼洗族耶孚尼的兒子迦勒，還有嫩的兒子約書亞可以看見，因為他們專心跟從耶和華。』 13 耶和華的怒氣向以色列發作，使他們在曠野飄流四十年，直到在耶和華眼前作惡的那一代都消滅了。 14 看哪，你們這一夥罪人，竟然接續你們父執之輩，再增加耶和華對以色列所發的怒氣。 15 你們若轉離不跟從他，他要再把以色列人撇在曠野；這樣，你們就使這眾百姓滅亡了。」
16 他們挨近摩西，說：「我們要在這裏為牲畜築圈，為孩童建城。 17 我們自己卻要帶兵器，急速行在以色列人的前面，領他們直到他們的地方。我們的孩童可以留在堅固的城內，躲避當地的居民。 18 我們必不回自己的家，直等到以色列人各自承受了自己的產業。 19 我們不和他們在約旦河那邊分產業，因為我們的產業是在約旦河的東邊。」 20 摩西對他們說：「你們若要這麼做，若要在耶和華面前帶着兵器出去打仗， 21 你們中間所有帶兵器的人都要在耶和華面前過約旦河，直到耶和華把仇敵從他面前趕出去。 22 那地在耶和華面前被征服以後，你們方可回來。這樣，你們向耶和華和以色列才算為無罪，這地也必在耶和華面前歸你們為業。 23 倘若你們不這樣做，看哪，你們就得罪了耶和華，當知道你們的罪必找上你們。 24 如今你們可以為孩童建城，為羊羣築圈，但你們口所講出來的話，必須實踐。」 25 迦得子孫和呂便子孫對摩西說：「你的僕人們必照我主所吩咐的去做。 26 我們的孩子、妻子、牛羊和所有的牲畜都要留在基列的各城。 27 但你的僕人，凡能帶兵器上戰場的，都要照我主所說的話，在耶和華面前渡過去打仗。」
28 於是，摩西為他們吩咐以利亞撒祭司和嫩的兒子約書亞，以及以色列人各支派父系的領袖。 29 摩西對他們說：「迦得子孫和呂便子孫，凡帶兵器在耶和華面前去打仗的，若與你們一同渡過約旦河，那地被你們征服以後，你們就要把基列地給他們為業。 30 倘若他們不帶兵器與你們一同渡過去，他們就要在迦南地你們中間得產業。」 31 迦得子孫和呂便子孫回答說：「耶和華怎樣吩咐僕人，我們就必照樣做。 32 我們自己必帶着兵器，在耶和華面前渡過去，進入迦南地，好使我們在約旦河這邊得到我們的產業。」
33 摩西把亞摩利王西宏的國和巴珊王噩的國，就是他們的國土和周圍的城鎮，都給了迦得子孫和呂便子孫，以及約瑟的兒子瑪拿西半個支派。 34 迦得子孫建造了底本、亞他錄、亞羅珥、 35 亞他錄‧朔反、雅謝、約比哈、 36 伯‧寧拉、伯‧哈蘭，都是堅固城，並築有羊圈。 37 呂便子孫建造了希實本、以利亞利、基列亭、 38 尼波、巴力‧免（名字是改了的）、西比瑪；他們給建造的城另起別名。 39 瑪拿西的兒子瑪吉的子孫往基列去，佔了那地，趕出那裏的亞摩利人。 40 摩西把基列賜給瑪拿西的兒子瑪吉，他就住在那裏。 41 瑪拿西的子孫睚珥佔了基列的城鎮，就稱這些城鎮為哈倭特‧睚珥。 42 挪巴佔了基納和基納的鄉鎮，就照自己的名字稱基納為挪巴。
