The tribes of Ruben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasses, receive their inheritance on the east side of Jordan, upon conditions approved of by Moses.

1And the sons of Ruben and Gad had many flocks of cattle, and their substance in beasts was infinite. And when they saw the lands of Jazer and Galaad fit for feeding cattle,Or i figliuoli di Ruben e di Gad aveano molti bestiami, e un capitale immenso in giumenti. E avendo veduto, come le terre di Jazer e di Galaad erano atte a nutrir animali.AND the children of Ruben and Gad had much cattel, and they had in beastes an infinite substance. And when they had seene Iazer and Galaad fitte countries for to feede cattel,Filii autem Ruben et Gad habebant pecora multa, et erat illis in jumentis infinita substantia. Cumque vidissent Jazer et Galaad aptas animalibus alendis terras, 2They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said:Si presentarono a Mosè, e ad Eleazaro sommo sacerdote, e a' principi del popolo, e dissero:they came to Moyses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said:venerunt ad Moysen, et ad Elezarum sacerdotem, et principes multitudinis, atque dixerunt: 3Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, and Nebo, and Beon,Ataroth, e Dibon, e Jazer, e Nemra, Hesebon, ed Eleale, e Saban, e Nebo, e Beon,Ataroth, and Dibon, and Iazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Sabam, and Nebo, and Beon,Ataroth, et Dibon, et Jazer, et Nemra, Hesebon, et Eleale, et Saban, et Nebo, et Beon, 4The land, which the Lord hath conquered in the sight of the children of Israel, is a very fertile soil for the feeding of beasts: and we thy servants have very much cattle:Terre, che il Signore ha domate per mano de' figliuoli d'Israele, sono un paese grassissimo pel pascolo degli animali: e noi tuoi servi abbiamo molti bestiami;the land, which our Lord smote in the sight of the children of Israel, is of a verie plentiful soile for the feeding of beastes: and we thy seruantes haue very much cattel:terra, quam percussit Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israël, regio uberrima est ad pastum animalium: et nos servi tui habemus jumenta plurima, 5And we pray thee, if we have found favour in thy sight, that thou give it to us thy servants in possession, and make us not pass over the Jordan.E ti preghiamo che se abbiam trovato grazia dinanzi a te, tu lo dia a noi tuoi servi per nostra possessione, e non ci facci passare il Giordano.and we pray thee if we haue found grace before thee, that thou geue vs thy seruantes the same in possession, and make vs not passe ouer Iordanprecamurque si invenimus gratiam coram te, ut des nobis famulis tuis eam in possessionem, nec facias nos transire Jordanem.

6And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will you sit here?Rispose Mosè: Anderanno eglino i vostri fratelli a combattere, e voi starete qui a sedere?To whom Moyses answered: Why shal your brethren goe to sight, and wil you sitte here?Quibus respondit Moyses: Numquid fratres vestri ibunt ad pugnam, et vos hic sedebitis ? 7Why do ye overturn the minds of the children of Israel, that they may not dare to pass into the place which the Lord hath given them?Per qual motivo disanimate voi i figliuoli d'Israele a segno, che non abbian coraggio di andare nel paese, che il Signore vuol dare ad essi?Why subuert you the mindes of the children of Israel, that they may not be bold to passe into the place, which our Lord wil geue them?cur subvertitis mentes filiorum Israël, ne transire audeant in locum, quem eis daturus est Dominus ? 8Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view the land?Non fecer eglino altrettanto i padri vostri, allorché io da Cadesbarne mandai ad esaminare il paese?Did not your fathers so, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view the Land?Nonne ita egerunt patres vestri, quando misi de Cadesbarne ad explorandam terram ? 9And when they were come as far as the valley of the cluster, having viewed all the country, they overturned the hearts of the children of Israel, that they should not enter into the coasts, which the Lord gave them.Ed eglino essendo arrivati fino alla valle del Grappolo, girato avendo tutto il paese, disanimarono i figliuoli d'Israele, perché non entrassero nella terra assegnata loro dal Signore.And when they were come as farre as the Valley of cluster, hauing viewed al the countrie, they subuerted the hart of the children of Israel, that they should not enter the coastes, which our Lord gaue them.cumque venissent usque ad Vallem botri, lustrata omni regione, subverterunt cor filiorum Israël, ut non intrarent fines, quos eis Dominus dedit. 10And he swore in his anger, saying:Onde irato con essi giurò, e disse:Who being wrath sware, saying:Qui iratus juravit, dicens: 11If these men, that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land, which I promised with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: because they would not follow me,Questi uomini usciti dall'Egitto dall'età di venti anni in poi, non vedranno la terra promessa da me con giuramento ad Abramo, ad Isacco, e Giacobbe, perché non hanno voluto seguir me,If these men, that came vp out of Aegypt, from twentie yeares and vpward, shal see the land, which vnder othe I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Iacob: and they would not folow me,Si videbunt homines isti, qui ascenderunt ex Ægypto a viginti annis et supra, terram, quam sub juramento pollicitus sum Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob: et noluerunt sequi me, 12Except Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue the son of Nun: these have fulfilled my will.Eccetto Caleb figliuolo di Jephone Cenezeo, e Giosuè figliuolo di Nun: questi hanno adempiuta la mia volontà.except Caleb the sonne of Iephone the Cenezeite, and Iosue the sonne of Nun: these haue fulfilled my wil.præter Caleb filium Jephone Cenezæum, et Josue filium Nun: isti impleverunt voluntatem meam.

13And the Lord being angry against Israel, led them about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that had done evil in his sight, was consumed.E il Signore sdegnato con Israele lo ha fatto andar girando pel deserto quarant'anni, sino a tanto che quella generazione, che avea fatto il male dinanzi a lui, fosse consunta.And our Lord being wrath agaynst Israel, led him about through the desert fourtie yeares, vntil the whole generation was consumed, that had done euil in his sight.Iratusque Dominus adversum Israël, circumduxit eum per desertum quadraginta annis, donec consumeretur universa generatio, quæ fecerat malum in conspectu ejus. 14And behold, said he, you are risen up instead of your fathers, the increase and offspring of sinful men, to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.E adesso (diss'egli) siete usciti fuora voi in luogo dei padri vostri, rampolli ed allievi di uomini peccatori, ad attizzare il furor del Signore contro Israele.And behold, quoth he, you are risen vp in steed of your fathers, the ofspring and disciples of sinful men, to augment the furie of our Lord agaynst Israel.Et ecce, inquit, vos surrexistis pro patribus vestris, incrementa et alumni hominum peccatorum, ut augeretis furorem Domini contra Israël. 15For if you will not follow him, he will leave the people in the wilderness, and you shall be the cause of the destruction of all.Ma se voi non vorrete seguirlo, egli lascerà il popolo nella solitudine, e voi sarete cagione dello sterminio di tutti.But if you wil not folow him, he wil leaue the people in the wildernesse, and you shal be the cause of the death of al.Quod si nolueritis sequi eum, in solitudine populum derelinquet, et vos causa eritis necis omnium. 16But they coming near, said: We will make sheepfolds, and stalls for our cattle, and strong cities for our children:Ma quegli fattisi più da presso dissero: Noi fabbricheremo dei recinti per le pecore, e delle stalle pe' giumenti, e le città forti pe' nostri fanciulli:But they coming nere, said: We wil make shepcottes, and stalles for our cattel, for our litle ones also fensed cities:At illi prope accedentes, dixerunt: Caulas ovium fabricabimus, et stabula jumentorum, parvulis quoque nostris urbes munitas: 17And we ourselves will go armed and ready for battle before the children of Israel, until we bring them in unto their places. Our little ones, and all we have, shall be in walled cities, for fear of the ambushes of the inhabitants.Noi poi armati, e in ordine anderemo alle battaglie innanzi a' figliuoli d'Israele, sino a tanto che gli avremo introdotti ne' luoghi loro. I nostri fanciulli, e tutti i nostri beni resteranno nelle città munite per esser sicuri dalle insidie di quegli abitanti.and we our selues armed and girded wil march on to battle before the children of Israel, vntil we bring them in vnto their places. Our litle ones and whatsoeuer we can haue, shal be in walled cities, because of the lying of wayte of the inhabitantes.nos autem ipsi armati et accincti pergemus ad prælium ante filios Israël, donec introducamus eos ad loca sua. Parvuli nostri, et quidquid habere possumus, erunt in urbibus muratis, propter habitatorum insidias.

18We will not return into our houses until the children of Israel possess their inheritance:Noi non torneremo alle nostre case, sino a tanto che i figliuoli d'Israele sieno al possesso della loro eredità:We wil not returne into our houses, vntil the children of Israel possesse their inheritance:Non revertemur in domos nostras, usque dum possideant filii Israël hæreditatem suam: 19Neither will we seek any thing beyond the Jordan, because we have already our possession on the east side thereof,E non cercheremo nulla di là dal Giordano, perché abbiam già la nostra porzione dalla parte orientale di esso.neither wil we seeke any thing beyound Iordan, because already we haue our possession on the east side therof.nec quidquam quæremus trans Jordanem, quia jam habemus nostram possessionem in orientali ejus plaga. 20And Moses said to them: If you do what you promise, go on well appointed for war before the Lord:Rispose loro Mosè: se voi fate quello che promettete, andate pronti alla pugna davanti al Signore:To whom Moyses said: If you doe that you promisse, march on wel appointed before our Lord to fight:Quibus Moyses ait: Si facitis quod promittitis, expediti pergite coram Domino ad pugnam: 21And let every fighting man pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow his enemies:E ogni uomo atto alla guerra passi armato il Giordano, per fino a tanto che abbia il Signore distrutti i suoi nemici.and let euerie man of warre passe ouer Iordan, vntil our Lord subuert his enemies,et omnis vir bellator armatus Jordanem transeat, donec subvertat Dominus inimicos suos, 22And all the land be brought under him, then shall you be blameless before the Lord and before Israel, and you shall obtain the countries that you desire, before the Lord.E sia soggetto a lui tutto quel paese: allora voi sarete irreprensibili presso il Signore, e presso Israele, e otterrete con approvazione del Signore le terre, che voi bramate.and al the Land be subdued to him: then shal you be blamelesse before our Lord and before Israel, and you shal obteyne the countries that you would in the sight of our Lord.et subjiciatur ei omnis terra: tunc eritis inculpabiles apud Dominum et apud Israël, et obtinebitis regiones, quas vultis, coram Domino. 23But if you do not what you say, no man can doubt but you sin against God: and know ye, that your sin shall overtake you.Se poi non farete quello che dite, non v'ha dubbio, che peccherete contro Dio: e sappiate, che il vostro peccato vi coglierà.But if you doe not, that which you say, no man can doubt but you sinne against God: and know ye that your sinne shal apprehend you.Sin autem quod dicitis, non feceritis, nulli dubium est quin peccetis in Deum: et scitote quoniam peccatum vestrum apprehendet vos.

24Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish what you have promised.Rifabbricate adunque le città pe' vostri fanciulli, e de' recinti, e delle stalle pelle pecore, e pe' giumenti: e adempite la vostra promessa.Build therfore cities for your litle ones, and sheepecotes and stalles for your sheepe and cattel: and accomplish that which you haue promised.Ædificate ergo urbes parvulis vestris, et caulas, et stabula ovibus ac jumentis: et quod polliciti estis, implete. 25And the children of Gad and Ruben said to Moses: We are thy servants, we will do what my lord commandeth.E dissero i figliuoli di Gad, e di Ruben a Mosè: Noi siamo tuoi servi, faremo quello che ci comanda il Signor nostro.And the children of Gad and Ruben said to Moyses: We are thy seruantes, we wil do that which our lord commandeth.Dixeruntque filii Gad et Ruben ad Moysen: Servi tui sumus: faciemus quod jubet dominus noster. 26We will leave our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad:Lasceremo i nostri fanciulli, e le donne, e i greggi, e i giumenti nelle città di Galaad:We wil leaue our litle ones, and our wiues, and sheepe, and cattel in the cities of Galaad:Parvulos nostros, et mulieres, et pecora, ac jumenta relinquemus in urbibus Galaad: 27And we thy servants all well appointed will march on to the war, as thou, my lord, speakest.E noi tutti servi tuoi andremo pronti alla guerra, come dici tu, o signore.and we thy seruantes al wel appoynted wil march on to the warre, as thou my lord speakest.nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum, sicut tu, domine, loqueris. 28Moses therefore commanded Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families of all the tribes of Israel, and said to them:Mosè dunque intimò, e disse ad Eleazaro sacerdote, e a Giosuè figliuolo di Nun, e a' principi, delle famiglie delle tribù d'Israele:Moyses therfore commanded Eleazar the priest, and Iosue the sonne of Nun, and the princes of the families by the tribes of Israel, and he said to them:Præcepit ergo Moyses Eleazaro sacerdoti, et Josue filio Nun, et principibus familiarum per tribus Israël, et dixit ad eos: 29If the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben pass with you over the Jordan, all armed for war before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you: give them Galaad in possession.Se i figliuoli di Gad e di Ruben passeranno con voi il Giordano tutti armati per combattere davanti al Signore, conquistato che sia da voi quel paese, date loro la terra di Galaad in dominio.If the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben passe with you ouer Iordan al armed to the warre before our Lord, and the Land be subdued to you: geue them Galaad in possession.Si transierint filii Gad et filii Ruben vobiscum Jordanem omnes armati ad bellum coram Domino, et vobis fuerit terra subjecta, date eis Galaad in possessionem.

30But if they will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you.Ma se non vorranno passare con voi nella terra di Canaan, abbiano tra voi il luogo da abitare.But if they wil not passe armed with you into the Land of Chanaan, let them take places to dwel in among you.Sin autem noluerint transire armati vobiscum in terram Chanaan, inter vos habitandi accipiant loca. 31And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so will we do:Risposero i figliuoli di Gad e di Ruben: Come ha detto il Signore a' suoi servi, così faremo:And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As our lord hath spoken to his seruantes, so Wil we doe:Responderuntque filii Gad et filii Ruben: Sicut locutus est Dominus servis suis, ita faciemus: 32We will go armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and we confess that we have already received our possession beyond the Jordan.Noi armati andremo sotto la condotta del Signore nella terra di Canaan, e confessiamo di aver già ricevuta la porzione nostra di qua del Giordano.our selues atmed wil march before our Lord into the Land of Chanaan, and we confesse that we haue already receiued our possession beyond Iordan.ipsi armati pergemus coram Domino in terram Chanaan, et possessionem jam suscepisse nos confitemur trans Jordanem. 33Moses therefore gave to the children of Gad and of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasses the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and their land and the cities thereof round about.Diede adunque Mosè ai figliuoli di Gad e di Ruben, e a mezza la tribù di Manasse figliuolo di Giuseppe il regno di Sehon re degli Amorrhei, e il regno di Og re di Basan, e la terra di essi colle città all'intorno.Moyses therfore gaue to the children of Gad and Ruben, and to the halfe tribe of Manasses the sonne of Ioseph, the kingdome of Sehon king of the Amorrheite, and the kingdome of Og king of Basan, and their land and the cities therof round about.Dedit itaque Moyses filiis Gad et Ruben, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse filii Joseph, regnum Sehon regis Amorrhæi, et regnum Og regis Basan, et terram eorum cum urbibus suis per circuitum. 34And the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,I figliuoli adunque di Gad, fabbricarono Dibon, e Ataroth, e Aroer,Therfore the sonnes of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,Igitur exstruxerunt filii Gad, Dibon, et Ataroth, et Aroër, 35And Etroth, and Sophan, and Jazer, and Jegbaa,Ed Etroth, e Sophan, e Jazer, e Jeghaa,and Etroth, and Sophan, and Iazar, and Iegbaa,et Etroth, et Sophan, et Jazer, et Jegbaa, 36And Bethnemra, and Betharan, fenced cities, and folds for their cattle.E Bethnemra, e Betharan città munite, e parchi pe' loro bestiami.and Bethnemra, and Betharan, cities fensed, aud sheepecotes for their sheepe.et Bethnemra, et Betharan, urbes munitas, et caulas pecoribus suis.
