1
Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great number of livestock. And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for livestock.

2
So the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the congregation,
3 Atharoth et Dibon et Iazer et Nemra Esbon et Eleale et Sabam et Nebo et Beon
3
"Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 terram quam percussit Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israhel regionis uberrimae est ad pastum animalium et nos servi tui habemus iumenta plurima
4
the land that the LORD struck down before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock."
5 precamurque si invenimus gratiam coram te ut des nobis famulis tuis eam in possessionem ne facias nos transire Iordanem
5
And they said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Do not take us across the Jordan."

But Moses said to the people of Gad and to the people of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to the war while you sit here?
7 cur subvertitis mentes filiorum Israhel ne transire audeant in locum quem eis daturus est Dominus
7
Why will you discourage the heart of the people of Israel 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.

For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the people of Israel from going into the land that the LORD had given them.
10 qui iratus iuravit dicens
10
And the LORD's anger was kindled on that day, and he swore, saying,
11 si videbunt homines isti qui ascenderunt ex Aegypto a viginti annis et supra terram quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum Abraham Isaac et Iacob 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 that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not wholly followed me,
12 praeter Chaleb filium Iepphonne Cenezeum et Iosue filium Nun isti impleverunt voluntatem meam
12
none except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the LORD.'
13 iratusque Dominus adversum Israhel circumduxit eum per desertum quadraginta annis donec consumeretur universa generatio quae fecerat malum in conspectu eius

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 gone.
14 et ecce inquit vos surrexistis pro patribus vestris incrementa et alumni hominum peccatorum ut augeretis furorem Domini contra Israhel
14
And behold, you have risen in your fathers' place, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the LORD against Israel!
15 qui si nolueritis sequi eum in solitudine populum derelinquet et vos causa eritis necis omnium
15
For if you turn away from following him, he will again abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all this people."
16 at illi prope accedentes dixerunt caulas ovium fabricabimus et stabula iumentorum parvulis quoque nostris urbes munitas

So Moses said to them, "If you will do this, if you will take up arms to go before the LORD for the war,
21 et omnis vir bellator armatus Iordanem transeat donec subvertat Dominus inimicos suos
21
and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him
22 et subiciatur ei omnis terra tunc eritis inculpabiles et apud Dominum et apud Israhel et obtinebitis regiones quas vultis coram Domino
22
and the land is subdued before the LORD; then after that you shall return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
23 sin autem quod dicitis non feceritis nulli dubium quin peccetis in Dominum et scitote quoniam peccatum vestrum adprehendet vos
