যাত্রাপুস্তক 9

1 তারপর প্রভু মোশিকে বললেন, ফরৌণকে গিয়ে বল, “প্রভু, ইস্রায়েলীয়দের ঈশ্বর বলেছেন, ‘আমার লোকদের আমার উপাসনা করার জন্য ছেড়ে দাও|’

2 তুমি যদি তাদের ধরে রাখো এবং য়েতে বাধা দাও

3 তাহলে প্রভু তোমার গবাদি পশুদের ওপর তাঁর ক্ষমতা প্রযোগ করবেন| তোমার সমস্ত ঘোড়া, গাধা, উট, গরু ও মেষের পাল প্রভুর কোপে এক ভয়ঙ্কর রোগের শিকার হবে|

4 কিন্তু প্রভু মিশরের পশুদের মতো ইস্রায়েলের পশুদের দুর্দশাগ্রস্ত করবেন না| ইস্রায়েলের লোকদের কোনও পশু মারা যাবে না|

5 আগামীকাল এই ঘটনা ঘটাবার জন্য প্রভু সময় নির্বাচন করেছেন|”

6 পরদিন, প্রভু য়েমন বলেছিলেন তেমন করলেন| মিশরীয়দের সমস্ত গৃহপালিত পশু মারা গেল| কিন্তু ইস্রায়েলের লোকদের কোনও পশু মারা গেল না|

7 ইস্রায়েলীয়দের কোনও পশু মারা গেছে কিনা তা দেখে আসতে ফরৌণ তাঁর কর্মচারীদের পাঠালেন এবং সে জানতে পারলো য়ে ইস্রায়েলীয়দের একটি পশুও মারা যায নি| কিন্তু তবুও ফরৌণ তাঁর জেদ ধরে রইলেন এবং লোকদের য়েতে দিলেন না|

8 প্রভু মোশি এবং হারোণকে বললেন, “একটা উনুন থেকে এক মুঠো ছাই নাও| মোশি তুমি সেই ছাই ফরৌণের সামনে বাতাসে ছুঁড়ে দাও|

9 এই ছাই ধূলিকণা হয়ে সারা মিশরে ছড়িয়ে পড়বে| এবং যখনই এই ধূলো মিশরের কোনও মানুষ বা পশুর গায়ে পড়বে তখনই তাদের গায়ে ফোঁড়া হবে|”

10 তাই মোশি ও হারোণ উনুন থেকে ছাই নিয়ে ফরৌণের সামনে দাঁড়াল| মোশি সেই ছাই আকাশে ছুঁড়ে দিল আর পশু ও মানুষের গায়ে ফোঁড়া বের হতে লাগল|

11 যাদুকররা মোশির সঙ্গে প্রতিয়োগিতা করতে পারল না| কারণ তাদেরও সারা গায়ে ফোঁড়া ছিল| মিশরের প্রতিটি জায়গায় এই রোগ দেখা দিল|

12 কিন্তু এতে প্রভু ফরৌণকে আরও উদ্ধত করে তুললেন| তাই ফরৌণ তাদের কথা শুনতে অস্বীকার করল| প্রভুর কথামতোই এসব ঘটেছিল|

13 এরপর প্রভু, ইস্রায়েলীয়দের ঈশ্বর মোশিকে বললেন, “সকালে উঠে ফরৌণের কাছে গিয়ে বলবে, প্রভু ঈশ্বর বলেছেন, ‘আমার লোকদের আমার উপাসনা করতে য়েতে দাও|

14 যদি তুমি তা না কর, তবে আমি তোমার জন্য, তোমার সমস্ত রাজকর্মচারীদের জন্য এবং লোকদের জন্য সমস্ত রকমের দুর্ভোগ পাঠাবো| তখন তুমি জানবে য়ে এই পৃথিবীতে আমার মতো ঈশ্বর আর নেই,

15 আমি আমার ক্ষমতা দিয়ে তোমাদের এমন রোগ দিতে পারি যা তোমাদের পৃথিবী থেকে মুছে দেবে|

16 কিন্তু আমি তোমাদের একটা কারণে এখানে রেখেছি| আমি তোমাকে আমার ক্ষমতা দেখানোর জন্য রেখেছি| যাতে সারা পৃথিবীর লোক আমার কথা শুনতে পারে|

17 তুমি এখনও আমার লোকদের সঙ্গে বিরোধিতা করছ এবং তাদের য়েতে দিচ্ছ না|

18 “তাই আগামীকাল এই সময় আমি এক ভয়ঙ্কর শিলাবৃষ্টি ঘটাবো| মিশরের শুরু থেকে আজ পর্য়ন্ত এই রকম ভয়ঙ্কর শিলাবৃষ্টি আর কখনও হয় নি|

19 এখন তুমি তোমার পশুদের একটি নিরাপদ স্থানে নিয়ে যাও| তোমার ক্ষেতে যা কিছু আছে সব একটি নিরাপদ স্থানে নিয়ে যাও| কেন? কারণ কোন লোক যদি ক্ষেতে পড়ে থাকে, তবে সে মারা যাবে; যদি কোন পশু মাঠে পড়ে থাকে সে মারা যাবে| তোমার বাড়ীর বাইরে যা কিছু পড়ে থাকবে সে সব কিছুর ওপরেই শিলাবৃষ্টি হবে|”

20 ফরৌণের সেই কর্মচারীরা যারা প্রভুর বার্তাকে গুরুত্ব দিয়েছিল তারা তাদের পশু ও ক্রীতদাসদের ক্ষেত থেকে নিয়ে এলো এবং ঘরে রেখে দিল|

21 কিন্তু য়ে সব কর্মচারীরা প্রভুর বার্তা অগ্রাহ্য করেছিল তারা তাদের ক্রীতদাসদের ও পশুদের মাঠে রেখে দিল|

22 প্রভু মোশিকে বললেন, “তোমার হাত আকাশের দিকে তুলে ধরো, তাহলে মিশরের ওপর শিলাবৃষ্টি শুরু হয়ে যাবে| মিশরের সমস্ত ক্ষেতের মানুষ, পশু ও গাছপালার ওপর এই শিলাবৃষ্টি হবে|”

23 তাই মোশি তার হাতের ছড়ি আকাশের দিকে তুলল, তারপর প্রভু ভূমির ওপর বজ্রনির্ঘোষ, শিলাবৃষ্টি ও অশনি ঘটালেন| সারা মিশরে শিলাবৃষ্টি হল|

24 শিলাবৃষ্টি হচ্ছিল এবং চারিদিকে বিদ্যুত চমকাচ্ছিল| এই ধরণের ভয়ঙ্কর শিলাবৃষ্টি মিশরের শুরু থেকে আজ পর্য়ন্ত আগে কখনও হয়নি|

25 এই শিলাবৃষ্টি মিশরের ক্ষেতের সমস্ত কিছু, লোকজন ও পশুসহ গাছপালা ধ্বংস করে দিল| এই শিলাবৃষ্টিতে মাটির সমস্ত গাছ ভেঙ্গে পড়েছিল|

26 একমাত্র ইস্রায়েলের লোকদের বাসস্থান গোশন প্রদেশে শিলাবৃষ্টি হল না|

27 ফরৌণ মোশি ও হারোণকে ডেকে বললেন, “এইবার বুঝেছি য়ে আমি পাপ করেছি| প্রভুই ঠিক ছিলেন| আমি ও আমার লোকরা ভুল করেছি|

28 প্রভুর দেওয়া শিলাবৃষ্টি ও বজ্রপাত আর সহ্য হচ্ছে না| ঈশ্বরকে গিয়ে এই ঝড় থামাতে বল| তাহলে আমি তোমাদের য়েতে দেব, তোমাদের আর এখানে থাকতে হবে না|”

29 মোশি ফরৌণকে বললেন, “আমি যখন শহর ত্যাগ করে যাবো তখন আমি প্রভুকে প্রার্থনার ভঙ্গীতে আমার হাতগুলো ওপরে তুলব| এবং তারপর বজ্রপাত ও শিলাবৃষ্টি থামবে| তখন তুমি জানবে য়ে এই পৃথিবী প্রভুর অধিকারে|

30 কিন্তু আমি জানি য়ে তুমি এবং তোমার কর্মচারীরা এখনও প্রভুকে শ্রদ্ধা করো না|”

31 য়ব ও শন গাছে ফুল এসে গিয়েছিল| তাই এই সমস্ত শস্য নষ্ট হয়ে গেল|

32 কিন্তু য়েহেতু গম ও জনার বড় হল না তাই সেগুলো নষ্ট হল না|

33 মোশি ফরৌণের কাছে থেকে শহরের বাইরে গেল, প্রভুকে প্রার্থনা করার ভঙ্গীতে তাঁর হাতগুলো ওপরে তুলল এবং তত্‌ক্ষণাত্‌ বজ্র, শিলাবৃষ্টি এমনকি বৃষ্টিও থেমে গেল|

34 যখন ফরৌণ দেখল বৃষ্টি, বজ্রপাত ও শিলাবৃষ্টি থেমে গিয়েছে তখন তিনি আবার ভুল করলেন| তিনি ও তার কর্মচারীরা জেদী হয়ে গেল|

35 ফরৌণ উদ্ধত হলেন এবং ইস্রায়েলের লোকদের য়েতে দিতে অস্বীকার করলেন| এসবই হয়েছিল ঠিক প্রভু য়েমন মোশিকে বলেছিলেন সেইরকম ভাবেই|

1 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

2 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,

3 Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.

4 And the Lord shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children’s of Israel.

5 And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land.

6 And the Lord did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

8 And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.

10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.

11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

12 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken unto Moses.

13 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?

18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

20 He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:

21 And he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.

22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.

23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.

26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

28 Intreat the Lord (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.

29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the Lord; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the Lord’s.

30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the Lord God.

31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.

32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.

33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the Lord: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.

35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken by Moses.

Numbers 32 in Tamil and English

1 ઇસ્રાએલી પ્રજા યાઝેર અને ગિલયાદના પ્રદેશમાં આવી, રૂબેન અને ગાદના કુળસમૂહો પાસે ઘેટાનાં મોટાં મોટાં ઘણ હતા. તેમણે જોયું કે આ પ્રદેશ ઢોરઢાંખરના ઉછેર માંટે ઉત્તમ અને અનુકુળ છે.
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 તેથી તેઓએ મૂસા; યાજક એલઆઝાર અને સમાંજના આગેવાનો સમક્ષ આવીને કહ્યું,
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 “ઇસ્રાએલી સમાંજને યહોવાએ જીતી આપેલો પ્રદેશ, અટારોથ, દીબોન, યાઝેર, નિમ્રાહ, હેશ્બોન, એલઆલેહ, સબામ, નબો અને બેઓન.
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 આ સમગ્ર પ્રદેશ ઢોરઢાંખરના ઉછેર માંટે ખૂબ અનુકૂળ છે, અને આપના સેવકો પાસે પુષ્કળ ઢોરો છે.
Even the country which the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

5 અમાંરા પર કૃપા હોય તો યર્દન નદી ઓળંગીને તે તરફના વિસ્તારને બદલે આ પ્રદેશ અમાંરા ભાગમાં આપો.”
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 મૂસાએ ગાદ અને રૂબેનના કુળસમૂહોને કહ્યું, “તમાંરા બીજા ઇસ્રાએલી ભાઈઓ તો યુદ્ધમાં જાય છે ત્યારેશું તમે અહી રહેવા માંગો છો?
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 ઇસ્રાએલીઓ યર્દન નદી ઓળંગીને યહોવાએ તેમને આપેલી ભૂમિમાં દાખલ થવા જાય છે, ત્યારે તમે શા માંટે તેમને નિરૂત્સાહી કરો છો?
And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath given them?

8 જ્યારે મેં તમાંરા પિતૃઓને કાદેશ બાર્નેઆથી દેશની જાસૂસી કરવા મોકલ્યા હતા, ત્યારે તેઓએ આવુ જ વર્તન કર્યુ હતું, તે લોકો એશ્કોલ ખીણ સુધી ગયા.
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

9 પ્રદેશ જોયો અને જે પ્રદેશ યહોવાએ ઇસ્રાએલીઓને આપ્યો હતો ત્યાં જવાનો તેમનો ઉત્સાહ તોડી પાડયો.
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 આથી તે દિવસે યહોવાનો ક્રોધ ભભૂકી ઊઠયો હતો અને તેણે વચન આપ્યું કે,
And the Lord’s anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

11 ‘તે લોકો મને વિશ્વાસુ રહ્યા નથી તેથી મિસરમાંથી આવેલા એમાંના 20વર્ષ અને તેથી વધારે ઉમરના ઇસ્રાએલીઓ ઈબ્રાહિમ, ઈસહાક અને યાકૂબને જે ભૂમિ આપવાનું વચન આપ્યુ હતું તેમાં તે પ્રવેશ કરશે નહિ.
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 અપવાદરૂપે ફકત માંરામાં સંપૂર્ણ વિશ્વાસ રાખનાર કનિઝઝી યફૂન્નેહનો પુત્ર કાલેબ અને નૂનનો પુત્ર યહોશુઆ જેઓએ વચનના દેશમાં જવા માંટે લોકોને અનુરોધ કર્યો હતો.’
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the Lord.

13 “ઇસ્રાએલીઓ ઉપર યહોવાનો કોપ ભભૂકી ઊઠયો, અને તેણે તેમને 40વર્ષ સુધી રણમાં રઝળાવ્યા, અને આખેર યહોવાને દુઃખ આપનારી આખી પેઢી સમાંપ્ત થઈ ગઈ
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 અને હવે તમે, પાપી લોકો, પણ તમાંરા પિતાઓએ કર્યુ તેમ કરો છો. શું તમાંરે યહોવાને તેના લોકો વિરુદ્ધ હજુ વધારે ગુસ્સે કરવા છે?
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 કારણ, જો તમે અત્યારે આ પ્રમાંણે દેવથી વિમુખ થશો તો તે આ બધા લોકોને રણમાં રઝળતાં છોડી દેશે અને તમે તેમના વિનાશનું નિમિત્ત બનશો.”
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 તેથી તેમણે મૂસાની પાસે જઈને કહ્યું, “અમે અહીં અમાંરાં ઘેટાંબકરાં માંટે વાડા બાંધીશું અને અમાંરાં સ્ત્રી બાળકો માંટે કિલ્લેબંધી નગરો બાંધીશું;
And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

17 ત્યાર બાદ અમે જાતે શસ્ત્રસજજ થઈને ઇસ્રાએલી પ્રજાની આગળ રહી તેમને તેમની ભૂમિમાં પહોંચાડતા સુધી લડીશું, એ સમય દરમ્યાન અમાંરાં સ્ત્રી બાળકો એ ગામોમાં દેશના મૂળ વતનીઓના હુમલાથી સુરક્ષિત રહી શકશે.
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 અને બધા ઇસ્રાએલીઓને તેઓનો વારસો-પોતાના ભાગની જમીનનો પાછો નહિ મળે ત્યાં સુધી અમે પાછા નહિ ફરીએ.
We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

19 વળી અમે યર્દન નદીને પેલે પારના પ્રદેશમાં તેમની સાથે જમીનમાં ભાગ માંગીશું નહિ, કારણ કે, તેના બદલે અમને યર્દન નદીને પૂર્વકાંઠે અમાંરા ભાગની જમીન મળેલી છે ત્યાં રહેવાનું અમે પસંદ કરીશું.”
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 એટલે મૂસાએ કહ્યું, “ઠીક, તો તમે જે કહ્યું છે તે પ્રમાંણે કરો અને યહોવાના યુદ્ધ માંટે પોતાને સજજ કરો.
And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the Lord to war,

21 અને યહોવા પોતાના શત્રુઓને તે દેશમાંથી હાંકી કાઢે ત્યાં સુધી તમાંરી સેનાની ટુકડીઓને યર્દન નદીને પાર રાખો અને ત્યાં રહો.
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the Lord, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

22 પછી તે ભૂમિ યહોવાના તાબામાં આવી જાય ત્યાર બાદ જ તમે પાછા ફરો તો, તમે યહોવા અને ઇસ્રાએલ પ્રત્યેના કર્તવ્યથી મુકત થશો અને આ ભૂમિ યહોવાની દ્રષ્ટિએ તમાંરી માંલિકીની થશે.
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 પરંતુ જો તમે જે કહ્યું, તે પ્રમાંણે નહિ કરો તો, તે યહોવાની વિરુદ્ધનું તમાંરું પાપ ગણાશે, અને તમાંરે તમાંરું પાપ અચૂક ભોગવવું પડશે.
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.

24 ભલે, જાઓ અને તમાંરાં કુટુંબો, સ્ત્રી બાળકો માંટે નગરો તથા તમાંરાં ઢોરઢાંખર માંટે વાડા બાંધો, અને તમે કહ્યું છે તે બધું તમે કરો. તમાંરું વચન પાળજો.”
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

25 ગાદ અને રૂબેનના કુળસમૂહોએ મૂસાને કહ્યું, “ધણી, અમે આપના સેવકો આપ કહેશો તેમ કરીશું, અને તમાંરી સૂચનાઓ અક્ષઃરશ પાળીશું.
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

26 અમાંરાં બાળકો અને સ્ત્રીઓ, અમાંરાં ઘેટાબકરાં અને બીજાં બધાં પ્રાણીઓ અહીં ગિલયાદનાં ગામોમાં રહેશે,
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

27 પણ અમે આપના સેવકો બધા હથિયાર ધારણ કરીશું અને યર્દન પાર જઈશું યહોવાની સમક્ષ લડવા માંટે અમાંરા ધણીએ કહ્યા મુજબ.”
But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.

28 તેથી મૂસાએ યાજક એલઆઝાર, યહોશુઆ અને ઇસ્રાએલના કુળસમૂહના આગેવાનોને કહ્યું,
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 “જો ગાદના અને રૂબેનના વંશજો હથિયાર ધારણ કરીને તમાંરી સાથે યહોવા સમક્ષ લડવાને યર્દન ઓળંગીને આવે, અને જો તે પ્રદેશ તમાંરા તાબામાં આવી જાય તો તમાંરે તેમને ગિલયાદનો પ્રદેશ તેમાં ભાગ તરીકે આપવો.
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 પણ જો તેઓ હથિયાર ધારણ કરીને તમાંરી સાથે યર્દન ઓળંગીને ન આવે તો તેમને તેમનો ભાગ કનાનમાં જ તમાંરી સાથે મળશે.”
But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

31 ગાદના અને રૂબેનના લોકોએ કહ્યું, “ધણી, અમે યહોવાએ જણાવ્યા મુજબ કરીશું.
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 અમે હથિયાર ધારણ કરીને યહોવા સમક્ષ યર્દન પાર કરીને કનાનના પ્રદેશમાં જઈશું. પણ અમને યર્દન નદીના આ પૂર્વકાંઠે અમાંરા ભાગની જમીન મળવી જોઈએ.”
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 ours.

33 આથી મૂસાએ ગાદના અને રૂબેનના વંશજોને તથા યૂસફના પુત્ર મનાશ્શાના અર્ધકુળસમૂહને અમોરીઓના રાજા સીહોનનું રાજ્ય અને બાશાનના રાજા ઓગનું રાજ્ય, એ સમગ્ર પ્રદેશ અને તેમાંના શહેરો તથા આજુબાજુની જમીન બધું આપી દીધું.
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 પછી ગાદના વંશજોએ કોટવાળાં નગરો બાંધ્યાં; દીબોન, અટારાથ, અરોએર,
And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

35 આટ્રોથ-શોફાન, યાઝેર, યોગ્બહાહ,
And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

36 બેથ-નિમ્રાહ અને બેન-હારાન, તથા ઘેટાબકરાંઓ માંટે વાડાઓ બાંધ્યા.
And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.

37 રૂબેનના વંશજોએ હેશ્બોન,
