ഇയ്യോബ് 31
1 ഞാൻ എന്റെ കണ്ണുമായി ഒരു നിയമം ചെയ്തു; പിന്നെ ഞാൻ ഒരു കന്യകയെ നോക്കുന്നതെങ്ങനെ?
2 എന്നാൽ മേലിൽനിന്നു ദൈവം നല്കുന്ന ഓഹരിയും ഉയരത്തിൽനിന്നു സർവ്വശക്തൻ തരുന്ന അവകാശവും എന്തു?
3 നീതികെട്ടവന്നു അപായവും ദുഷ്‌പ്രവൃത്തിക്കാർക്കു വിപത്തുമല്ലയോ?
4 എന്റെ വഴികളെ അവൻ കാണുന്നില്ലയോ? എന്റെ കാലടികളെയൊക്കെയും എണ്ണുന്നില്ലയോ?
5 ഞാൻ കപടത്തിൽ നടന്നുവെങ്കിൽ, എന്റെ കാൽ വഞ്ചനെക്കു ഓടിയെങ്കിൽ -
6 ദൈവം എന്റെ പരമാർത്ഥത അറിയേണ്ടതിന്നു ഒത്ത ത്രാസിൽ എന്നെ തൂക്കിനോക്കുമാറാകട്ടെ -
7 എന്റെ കാലടി വഴിവിട്ടു മാറിയെങ്കിൽ, എന്റെ ഹൃദയം എന്റെ കണ്ണിന്നു പിന്തുടർന്നുവെങ്കിൽ, വല്ല കറയും എന്റെ കൈക്കു പറ്റിയെങ്കിൽ,
8 ഞാൻ വിതെച്ചതു മറ്റൊരുത്തൻ തിന്നട്ടെ; എന്റെ സന്തതിക്കു മൂലനാശം ഭവിക്കട്ടെ.
9 എന്റെ ഹൃദയം ഒരു സ്ത്രീയിങ്കൽ ഭ്രമിച്ചുപോയെങ്കിൽ, കൂട്ടുകാരന്റെ വാതിൽക്കൽ ഞാൻ പതിയിരുന്നു എങ്കിൽ,
10 എന്റെ ഭാര്യ മറ്റൊരുത്തന്നു മാവു പൊടിക്കട്ടെ; അന്യർ അവളുടെ മേൽ കുനിയട്ടെ.
11 അതു മഹാപാതകമല്ലോ, ന്യായാധിപന്മാർ ശിക്ഷിക്കേണ്ടുന്ന കുറ്റമത്രേ;
12 അതു നരകപര്യന്തം ദഹിപ്പിക്കുന്ന തീയാകുന്നു; അതു എന്റെ അനുഭവം ഒക്കെയും നിർമ്മൂലമാക്കും.
13 എന്റെ ദാസനോ ദാസിയോ എന്നോടു വാദിച്ചിട്ടു ഞാൻ അവരുടെ ന്യായം തള്ളിക്കളഞ്ഞെങ്കിൽ,
14 ദൈവം എഴുന്നേല്ക്കുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ എന്തു ചെയ്യും? അവൻ സന്ദർശിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ എന്തുത്തരം പറയും?
15 ഗർഭത്തിൽ എന്നെ ഉരുവാക്കിയവനല്ലയോ അവനെയും ഉരുവാക്കിയതു? ഉദരത്തിൽ ഞങ്ങളെ നിർമ്മിച്ചതു ഒരുത്തനല്ലയോ?
16 ദരിദ്രന്മാരുടെ ആഗ്രഹം ഞാൻ മുടക്കിയെങ്കിൽ, വിധവയുടെ കണ്ണു ഞാൻ ക്ഷീണിപ്പിച്ചെങ്കിൽ,
17 അനാഥന്നു അംശം കൊടുക്കാതെ ഞാൻ തനിച്ചു എന്റെ ആഹാരം കഴിച്ചെങ്കിൽ -
18 ബാല്യംമുതൽ ഞാൻ അപ്പൻ എന്നപോലെ അവനെ വളർത്തുകയും ജനിച്ചതുമുതൽ അവളെ പരിപാലിക്കയും ചെയ്തുവല്ലോ -
19 ഒരുത്തൻ വസ്ത്രമില്ലാതെ നശിച്ചുപോകുന്നതോ ദരിദ്രൻ പുതപ്പില്ലാതെ ഇരിക്കുന്നതോ ഞാൻ കണ്ടിട്ടു
20 അവന്റെ അര എന്നെ അനുഗ്രഹിച്ചില്ലെങ്കിൽ, എന്റെ ആടുകളുടെ രോമംകൊണ്ടു അവന്നു കുളിർ മാറിയില്ലെങ്കിൽ,
21 പട്ടണവാതിൽക്കൽ എനിക്കു സഹായം കണ്ടിട്ടു ഞാൻ അനാഥന്റെ നേരെ കയ്യോങ്ങിയെങ്കിൽ,
22 എന്റെ ഭുജം തോൾപലകയിൽനിന്നു വീഴട്ടെ; എന്റെ കയ്യുടെ ഏപ്പു വിട്ടുപോകട്ടെ.
23 ദൈവം അയച്ച വിപത്തു എനിക്കു ഭയങ്കരമായിരുന്നു; അവന്റെ ഓന്നത്യംനിമിത്തം എനിക്കു ആവതില്ലാതെയായി.
24 ഞാൻ പൊന്നു എന്റെ ശരണമാക്കിയെങ്കിൽ, തങ്കത്തോടു നീ എന്റെ ആശ്രയം എന്നു പറഞ്ഞുവെങ്കിൽ,
25 എന്റെ ധനം വളരെയായിരിക്കകൊണ്ടും എന്റെ കൈ അധികം സമ്പാദിച്ചിരിക്കകൊണ്ടും ഞാൻ സന്തോഷിച്ചുവെങ്കിൽ,
26 സൂര്യൻ പ്രകാശിക്കുന്നതോ ചന്ദ്രൻ ശോഭയോടെ ഗമിക്കുന്നതോ കണ്ടിട്ടു
27 എന്റെ ഹൃദയം ഗൂഢമായി വശീകരിക്കപ്പെടുകയും എന്റെ വായി എന്റെ കയ്യെ ചുംബിക്കയും ചെയ്തുവെങ്കിൽ,
28 അതു ന്യായാധിപന്മാർ ശിക്ഷിക്കേണ്ടുന്ന കുറ്റം അത്രെ; അതിനാൽ ഉയരത്തിലെ ദൈവത്തെ ഞാൻ നിഷേധിച്ചു എന്നു വരുമല്ലോ.
29 എന്റെ വൈരിയുടെ നാശത്തിങ്കൽ ഞാൻ സന്തോഷിക്കയോ, അവന്റെ അനർത്ഥത്തിങ്കൽ ഞാൻ നിഗളിക്കയോ ചെയ്തു എങ്കിൽ--
30 അവന്റെ പ്രാണനാശം ഇച്ഛിച്ചു ഞാൻ ശാപം ചൊല്ലി പാപം ചെയ്‍വാൻ എന്റെ വായെ ഒരിക്കലും സമ്മതിച്ചിട്ടില്ല--
31 അവന്റെ മേശെക്കൽ മാംസം തിന്നു തൃപ്തി വരാത്തവർ ആർ
32 എന്നിങ്ങനെ എന്റെ കൂടാരത്തിലെ ആളുകൾ പറഞ്ഞില്ലെങ്കിൽ -- പരദേശി തെരുവീഥിയിൽ രാപ്പാർക്കേണ്ടിവന്നിട്ടില്ല; വഴിപോക്കന്നു ഞാൻ എന്റെ വാതിൽ തുറന്നുകൊടുത്തു--
33 ഞാൻ ആദാമിനെപ്പോലെ എന്റെ ലംഘനം മൂടി എന്റെ അകൃത്യം മാർവ്വിടത്തു മറെച്ചുവെച്ചെങ്കിൽ,
34 മഹാപുരുഷാരത്തെ ശങ്കിക്കകൊണ്ടും വംശക്കാരുടെ നിന്ദ എന്നെ ഭ്രമിപ്പിക്കകൊണ്ടും ഞാൻ വാതിലിന്നു പുറത്തിറങ്ങാതെ മിണ്ടാതിരുന്നു എങ്കിൽ--
35 അയ്യോ, എന്റെ സങ്കടം കേൾക്കുന്നവൻ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നുവെങ്കിൽ കൊള്ളായിരുന്നു!- ഇതാ, എന്റെ ഒപ്പു! സർവ്വശക്തൻ എനിക്കുത്തരം നല്കുമാറാകട്ടെ. എന്റെ പ്രതിയോഗി എഴുതിയ അന്യായ രേഖ കിട്ടിയെങ്കിൽ കൊള്ളായിരുന്നു!
36 അതു ഞാൻ എന്റെ ചുമലിൽ വഹിക്കുമായിരുന്നു; ഒരു മകുടമായിട്ടു അതു അണിയുമായിരുന്നു.
37 എന്റെ കാലടികളുടെ എണ്ണം ഞാൻ അവനെ ബോധിപ്പിക്കും; ഒരു പ്രഭു എന്നപോലെ ഞാൻ അവനോടു അടുക്കും.
38 എന്റെ നിലം എന്റെ നേരെ നിലവിളിക്കയോ അതിന്റെ ഉഴച്ചാലുകൾ ഒന്നിച്ചു കരകയോ ചെയ്തുവെങ്കിൽ,
39 വിലകൊടുക്കാതെ ഞാൻ അതിന്റെ വിളവു തിന്നുകയോ അതിന്റെ ഉടമക്കാരുടെ പ്രാണൻ പോകുവാൻ സംഗതിയാക്കുകയോ ചെയ്തു എങ്കിൽ,
40 കോതമ്പിന്നു പകരം കാരമുള്ളും യവത്തിന്നു പകരം കളയും മുളെച്ചുവളരട്ടെ. (ഇയ്യോബിന്റെ വചനങ്ങൾ അവസാനിച്ചു.)
1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
2 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
6 Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.
7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;
10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)
19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
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,
And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38 એલઆલેહ, કિર્યાથાઈમ, નબો, બઆલ-મેઓન અને સિબ્માંહ આ રીતે નબો અને બઆલ-મેઓનને નવા નામ આપ્યા.
And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
39 ત્યારબાદ મનાશ્શાના વંશજોમાંથી માંખીરના કુળસમૂહના લોકોએ ગિલયાદ પર ચઢાઈ કરીને તે જીત લીધું અને ત્યાંથી અમોરીઓને હાંકી કાઢયા.
And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
40 આથી મૂસાએ મનાશ્શાના કુળસમૂહના માંખીરને ગિલયાદ આપ્યું અને તે ત્યાં સ્થિર થયો.
And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41 મનાશ્શાના કુળસમૂહમાંથી યાઈરના ગોત્રના માંણસોએ ગિલયાદના અનેક નગરો પર ચઢાઈ કરી તેમનાં ગામડાં કબજે કરી લીધાં અને તેઓના પ્રદેશનું નામ બદલીને હાવ્વોથ-યાઈર નામ આપ્યું.
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth-jair.
42 વળી નોબાહ નામનો વ્યક્તિ લશ્કર લઈને કનાથ અને તેની આસપાસના ગામડાં પર ચઢી આવ્યો અને તે કબજે કરી લીધાં અને તેનું નામ પોતાના નામ ઉપરથી ‘નોબાહ’ રાખ્યું.
And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
