1 Itaque conversi ascendimus per iter Basan; egressusque est Og rex Basan in occursum nobis cum omni populo suo ad bellandum in Edrai.1 “And so, having turned back, we ascended by the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, went forth with his people to meet us in warfare at Edrei.
2 Dixitque Dominus ad me: “Ne timeas eum, quia in manu tua tradidi eum cum omni populo ac terra sua; faciesque ei, sicut fecisti Sehon regi Amorraeorum, qui habitavit in Hesebon”.2 And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fear him. For he has been delivered into your hand, with all his people as well as his land. And you shall do to him just as you have done to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’
3 Tradidit ergo Dominus Deus noster in manibus nostris etiam Og regem Basan et universum populum eius; percussimusque eos usque ad internecionem.3 Therefore, the Lord our God delivered into our hands, now Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck them down unto utter annihilation,
4 Et cepimus cunctas civitates eius in illo tempore. Non fuit oppidum, quod nos effugeret: sexaginta urbes, omnem regionem Argob, regnum Og in Basan.4 laying waste to all his cities at one time. There was not a village which escaped from us: sixty cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og, in Bashan.
5 Cunctae urbes erant munitae muris altissimis portisque et vectibus, absque oppidis innumeris, quae non habebant muros.5 All the cities were fortified with very high walls, and with gates and bars, in addition to innumerable villages which had no walls.
6 Et percussimus eos anathemate, sicut feceramus Sehon regi Hesebon, disperdentes omnem civitatem virosque ac mulieres et parvulos;6 And we wiped them out, just as we had done to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, destroying every city, and its men, as well as women and children.
7 iumenta autem et spolia urbium diripuimus.
7 But the cattle and the spoils of the cities, we plundered.
8 Tulimusque illo in tempore terram de manu duorum regum Amorraeorum, qui erant trans Iordanem, a torrente Arnon usque ad montem Hermon8 And at that time, we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan: from the torrent Arnon as far as Mount Hermon,
9 — Sidonii vocant Hermon Sarion et Amorraei Sanir —9 which the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call Senir,
10 omnes civitates, quae sitae sunt in planitie, et universam terram Galaad et Basan usque Salcha et Edrai, civitates regni Og in Basan.10 all the cities that are situated in the plain, and the entire land of Gilead and Bashan, all the way to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 — Solus quippe Og rex Basan remanserat de residuis Raphaim. Monstratur lectus eius ferreus. Nonne est in Rabba filiorum Ammon? Novem cubitos habet longitudinis et quattuor latitudinis ad mensuram cubiti virilis manus C.
11 For only Og, the king of Bashan, was left behind out of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is on display, (it is in Rabbah, among the sons of Ammon) being nine cubits in length, and four in width, according to the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.
12 Terramque hanc possedimus in tempore illo ab Aroer, quae est super ripam torrentis Arnon, usque ad mediam partem montis Galaad; et civitates illius dedi Ruben et Gad.12 And we possessed the land, at that time, from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, as far as the middle of Mount Gilead. And I gave its cities to Ruben and Gad.
13 Reliquam autem partem Galaad et omnem Basan, regnum Og, tradidi mediae tribui Manasse, omnem regionem Argob. Cuncta Basan vocatur terra Raphaim.13 Then I delivered the remaining part of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, which is the entire region of Argob, to one half of the tribe of Manasseh. And all of Bashan is called the land of the giants.
14 Iair filius Manasse possedit omnem regionem Argob usque ad terminos Gesuri et Maachathi; vocavitque ea ex nomine suo Basan Havoth Iair (id est villas Iair) usque in praesentem diem.14 Jair, the son of Manasseh, possessed all the region of Argob, as far as the borders of Geshur and Maacath. And he called Bashan by his own name, Havvoth Jair, that is, the villages of Jair, even to the present day.
15 Machir quoque dedi Galaad.15 Likewise, to Machir, I gave Gilead.
16 Et tribubus Ruben et Gad dedi de terra Galaad usque ad torrentem Arnon, medium torrentis et confinium usque ad torrentem Iaboc, qui est terminus filiorum Ammon;16 And to the tribes of Ruben and Gad, I gave from the land of Gilead as far as the torrent Arnon, one half of the torrent and its confines, even to the torrent Jabbok, which is along the border of the sons of Ammon,
17 et Arabam atque Iordanem et terminos a Chenereth usque ad mare Arabae, quod est mare Salis, ad radices montis Phasga contra orientem.
17 and the plain of the wilderness, as well as the Jordan, and the borders of Chinnereth, all the way to the sea of the desert, which is very salty, to the base of Mount Pisgah toward the east.
18 Praecepique vobis in tempore illo dicens: Dominus Deus vester dedit vobis terram hanc in hereditatem; expediti praecedite fratres vestros filios Israel, omnes viri robusti,18 And I instructed you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God gives to you this land as an inheritance. Having armed yourselves, go before your brothers, the sons of Israel, all you strong men.
19 absque uxoribus et parvulis ac iumentis. Novi enim quod plura habeatis pecora, et in urbibus remanere debebunt, quas tradidi vobis,19 Leave behind your wives and little ones, as well as the cattle. For I know that you have many cattle, and they should remain in the cities which I have delivered to you,
20 donec requiem tribuat Dominus fratribus vestris, sicut vobis tribuit, et possideant etiam ipsi terram, quam Dominus Deus vester daturus est eis trans Iordanem; tunc revertetur unusquisque in possessionem suam, quam dedi vobis.
20 until the Lord provides rest to your brothers, just as he has provided for you. And they, too, shall possess the land, which he will give to them beyond the Jordan. Then each one shall return to his possession, which I have allotted to you.’
21 Iosue quoque in tempore illo praecepi dicens: Oculi tui viderunt, quae fecit Dominus Deus vester duobus his regibus; sic faciet omnibus regnis, ad quae transiturus es.21 Likewise, I instructed Joshua at that time, saying: ‘Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So also will he do to all the kingdoms through which you shall pass.
22 Ne timeas eos: Dominus enim Deus vester pugnabit pro vobis.
22 You should not fear them. For the Lord your God will fight on your behalf.’
23 Precatusque sum Dominum in tempore illo dicens:23 And I beseeched the Lord at that time, saying:
24 Domine Deus, tu coepisti ostendere servo tuo magnitudinem tuam manumque fortissimam; neque enim est alius Deus vel in caelo vel in terra, qui possit facere opera tua et comparari fortitudini tuae.24 ‘Lord God, you have begun to reveal your greatness and your very strong hand to your servant. For there is no other god, either in heaven or on earth, who is able to accomplish your works, or to be compared to your strength.
25 Transeam igitur et videam terram hanc optimam trans Iordanem et montem istum egregium et Libanum.25 Therefore, I will cross over, and I will view this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this singular mountain, and Lebanon.’
26 Iratusque est Dominus mihi propter vos nec exaudivit me, sed dixit mihi: “Sufficit tibi; nequaquam ultra loquaris de hac re ad me.26 And the Lord became angry with me because of you, and he would not heed me. But he said to me: ‘It is enough for you. You shall no longer speak to me at all about this matter.
27 Ascende cacumen Phasgae et oculos tuos circumfer ad occidentem et aquilonem austrumque et orientem et aspice; nec enim transibis Iordanem istum.27 Ascend to the summit of Pisgah, and look around with your eyes to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east, and behold it. For you shall not cross this Jordan.
28 Praecipe Iosue et corrobora eum atque conforta, quia ipse praecedet populum istum et dividet eis terram, quam visurus es”.
28 Instruct Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him. For he shall go before this people, and he shall distribute to them the land that you will see.’
29 Mansimusque in valle contra Bethphegor.
29 And we remained in the valley, opposite the shrine of Peor.”
