Liber Numeri

Filii autem Ruben et Gad habebant pecora multa, et erat illis in jumentis infinita substantia. Cumque vidissent Jazer et Galaad aptas animalibus alendis terras,

And 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,

Filios autem Rubene et Gado habe pecores multo, et infinita ad illos in iumentos substantia es. Cumque vide Iazro et Galaade apta ad animales alende terras,

venerunt ad Moysen, et ad Elezarum sacerdotem, et principes multitudinis, atque dixerunt:

They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said:

Veni ad Moyse, et ad Elezaro sacerdote, et principes de multitudine, et dic:

Ataroth, et Dibon, et Jazer, et Nemra, Hesebon, et Eleale, et Saban, et Nebo, et Beon,

Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, and Nebo, and Beon,

Ataroth, et Dibone, et Iazro, et Nemra, Hesebon, et Eleale, et Sabane, et Nebo, et Beone,

terra, quam percussit Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israël, regio uberrima est ad pastum animalium: et nos servi tui habemus jumenta plurima,

The 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:

Terra, Domino percute quam in conspectu de filios Israële, regione ubere es ad pastu de animales: et nos servos tuo habe iumentos multo,

precamurque si invenimus gratiam coram te, ut des nobis famulis tuis eam in possessionem, nec facias nos transire Jordanem.

And 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.

Et preca si inveni gratia coram te, ut da ad nos ad famulas tuo illa in possessione, nec fac nos transi Iordane.

Quibus respondit Moyses: Numquid fratres vestri ibunt ad pugnam, et vos hic sedebitis?

And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will you sit here?

Ad que Moyse responde: numquid fratres vestro i ad pugna, et vos hoc sede?

cur subvertitis mentes filiorum Israël, ne transire audeant in locum, quem eis daturus est Dominus?

Why 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?

Quare subverte mentes de filios Israële, ne transi aude in loco, quem ad illos da es Domino?

Nonne ita egerunt patres vestri, quando misi de Cadesbarne ad explorandam terram?

Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view the land?

Nonne ita patres vestro age, quando mitte de Cadesbarne ad explora terra?

cumque venissent usque ad Vallem botri, lustrata omni regione, subverterunt cor filiorum Israël, ut non intrarent fines, quos eis Dominus dedit.

And 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.

Cumque veni usque ad Valle botro, lustra omni regione, subverte corde de filios Israële, ut non intra fines, Domino ad illos da que.

Qui iratus juravit, dicens:

And he swore in his anger, saying:

Qui irascor iura, dicente:

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,

If 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,

Si vide homines isto, qui ascende ex Aegypto ab viginti annos et supra, terra, quam sub iuramento polliceor es Abrahame, Isaace, et Iacobo: et ne vol seque me,

præter Caleb filium Jephone Cenezæum, et Josue filium Nun: isti impleverunt voluntatem meam.

Except Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue the son of Nun: these have fulfilled my will.

Praeter Calebe filio Iephone Cenezaei, et Ioso filio Nune: isto imple voluntate meo.

Iratusque Dominus adversum Israël, circumduxit eum per desertum quadraginta annis, donec consumeretur universa generatio, quæ fecerat malum in conspectu ejus.

And 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.

Et irato Domino contra Israële, circumduce illo per deserto quadraginta annos, usque que consume universa generatione, que fac malo in conspectu de illo.

Et ecce, inquit, vos surrexistis pro patribus vestris, incrementa et alumni hominum peccatorum, ut augeretis furorem Domini contra Israël.

And 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.

Et ecce, dic, vos surge pro patres vestro, incrementos et alumnos de homines de peccatos, ut auge furore de Domino contra Israële.

Quod si nolueritis sequi eum, in solitudine populum derelinquet, et vos causa eritis necis omnium.

For 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.

Quod si ne vol seque illo, in solitudine populo derelinque, et vos causa es de nece de omni.

At illi prope accedentes, dixerunt: Caulas ovium fabricabimus, et stabula jumentorum, parvulis quoque nostris urbes munitas:

But they coming near, said: We will make sheepfolds, and stalls for our cattle, and strong cities for our children:

Sed illo prope accede, dic: caulas de oves fabricor, et stabulos de iumentos, ad parvulo etiam nostro urbes munie:

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.

And 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.

Nos autem ipso arma et accinge perge ad praelio ante filios Israële, usque que introduce illos ad locos suo. Parvulos nostro, et omni habere pote, es in urbes mura, propter habitatores insidias.

Non revertemur in domos nostras, usque dum possideant filii Israël hæreditatem suam:

We will not return into our houses until the children of Israel possess their inheritance:

Non reverte in domos nostro, usque dum filios Israële posside haereditate suo:

nec quidquam quæremus trans Jordanem, quia jam habemus nostram possessionem in orientali ejus plaga.

Neither will we seek any thing beyond the Jordan, because we have already our possession on the east side thereof,

Nec ullo quaere trans Iordane, quia jam habe nostro possessione in orientali de illo plaga.

Quibus Moyses ait: Si facitis quod promittitis, expediti pergite coram Domino ad pugnam:

And Moses said to them: If you do what you promise, go on well appointed for war before the Lord:

Ad que Moyse dic: si fac quod promitte, expedie perge coram Domino ad pugna:

et omnis vir bellator armatus Jordanem transeat, donec subvertat Dominus inimicos suos,

And let every fighting man pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow his enemies:

Et omni viro bellatore arma Iordane transi, usque que Domino subverte inimicos suo,

et subjiciatur ei omnis terra: tunc eritis inculpabiles apud Dominum et apud Israël, et obtinebitis regiones, quas vultis, coram Domino.

And 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.

Et omni ad illo terra subiice: tunc es inculpabile apud Domino et apud Israële, et obtine regiones, que vol, coram Domino.

Sin autem quod dicitis, non feceritis, nulli dubium est quin peccetis in Deum: et scitote quoniam peccatum vestrum apprehendet vos.

But 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.

Sin autem quod dic, non fac, ad nullo dubio es quin pecca in Deo: et sci quia peccato vestro apprehende vos.

Ædificate ergo urbes parvulis vestris, et caulas, et stabula ovibus ac jumentis: et quod polliciti estis, implete.

Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish what you have promised.

Aedifica ergo urbes ad parvulo vestro, et caulas, et stabulos oves et iumentos: et quod polliceor es, imple.

Dixeruntque filii Gad et Ruben ad Moysen: Servi tui sumus: faciemus quod jubet dominus noster.

And the children of Gad and Ruben said to Moses: We are thy servants, we will do what my lord commandeth.

Et filios Gado et Rubene dic ad Moyse: servis tuo es: fac quod domino nostro iube.

Parvulos nostros, et mulieres, et pecora, ac jumenta relinquemus in urbibus Galaad:

We will leave our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad:

Parvulis nostro, et mulieres, et pecores, et iumentos relinque in urbes Galaade:

nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum, sicut tu, domine, loqueris.

And we thy servants all well appointed will march on to the war, as thou, my lord, speakest.

Nos autem famulos tuo omni expedie perge ad bello, sicut te, domino, loque.

Præcepit ergo Moyses Eleazaro sacerdoti, et Josue filio Nun, et principibus familiarum per tribus Israël, et dixit ad eos:

Moses 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:

Praecipie ergo Moyse ad Eleazaro ad sacerdote, et Ioso ad filio Nune, et ad principes de familias per tre Israële, et dic ad illos:

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.

If 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.

Si filios Gado et filios Rubene transi vobisca Iordane omni armato ad bello coram Domino, et ad vos es terra subicie, da ad illos Galaade in possessione.

Sin autem noluerint transire armati vobiscum in terram Chanaan, inter vos habitandi accipiant loca.

But if they will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you.

Sin autem ne vol transi armato vobisca in terra Chanaane, inter vos habita accipe locos.

Responderuntque filii Gad et filii Ruben: Sicut locutus est Dominus servis suis, ita faciemus:

And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so will we do:

Et filios Gado et filios Rubene responde: sicut locuto es Domino ad servos suo, ita fac:

ipsi armati pergemus coram Domino in terram Chanaan, et possessionem jam suscepisse nos confitemur trans Jordanem.

We will go armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and we confess that we have already received our possession beyond the Jordan.

Ipso arma perge coram Domino in terra Chanaane, et possessione jam suscipe nos confite trans Iordane.

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.

Moses 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.

Da itaque Moyse ad filios Gado et Rubene, et de dimidia tribue Manasse de filio Ioseph, regno Sehone de rege de Amorrhaeo, et regno de Oge de rege Basan, et terra de illos cum urbes suo per circuitu.

Igitur exstruxerunt filii Gad, Dibon, et Ataroth, et Aroër,

Et Nabo, et Baalmeon verte nomines, Sabama etiam: impone vocabulas urbes, que exstrue.

Porro filii Machir filii Manasse, perrexerunt in Galaad, et vastaverunt eam interfecto Amorrhæo habitatore ejus.

Moreover the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, went into Galaad, and wasted it, cutting off the Amorrhites, the inhabitants thereof.
