Nalupig ng Israel si Haring Og(A)
3 “Nagpatuloy tayo papuntang Bashan ngunit pagdating natin sa Edrei, sinalakay tayo ni Haring Og ng Bashan. 2 Sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, ‘Huwag kayong matakot sa kanya sapagkat matatalo ninyo sila tulad ng ginawa ninyo kay Haring Sihon ng Hesbon at sa mga Amoreo.’
3 “Sa tulong ni Yahweh, natalo nga natin si Haring Og at ang buong Bashan; wala tayong itinirang buháy isa man sa kanila. 4 Nasakop natin ang animnapu nilang lunsod sa Argob, ang buong kaharian ni Og sa Bashan, 5 ang maraming maliliit na nayon, at ang malalaki nilang lunsod na napapaligiran ng pader. 6 Tulad ng ginawa natin kay Haring Sihon ng Hesbon, nilipol natin sila pati mga kababaihan at mga bata. 7 Ang itinira lamang natin ay ang mga hayop at iba pang ari-arian nilang sinamsam natin.
8 “Nasakop natin noon ang lupain ng dalawang haring Amoreo, ang lupain nila sa silangan ng Jordan, mula sa Ilog Arnon hanggang sa Bundok ng Hermon. (9 Sirion ang tawag ng mga taga-Sidon sa Bundok ng Hermon at Senir naman ang tawag doon ng mga Amoreo.) 10 Nasakop din natin ang mga lunsod sa matataas na kapatagan, ang buong Gilead, ang Bashan, hanggang Salca at Edrei, na pawang sakop ni Haring Og.”
(11 Si Haring Og lamang ang natira sa mga taga-Refaim. Ang kabaong[a][b] niyang bato ay apat na metro ang haba at dalawang metro ang lapad. Ito ay nasa Lunsod ng Rabba, sa lupain ng Ammon, hanggang ngayon.)
Ang mga Liping Nanirahan sa Silangan ng Jordan(B)
12 “Nang masakop natin ang bansang iyon, ibinigay ko sa lipi nina Ruben at Gad ang lupain mula sa Aroer na nasa tabi ng Ilog Arnon, at ang kalahati ng Gilead. 13 Ang kalahati naman ng Gilead, ang Bashan, samakatuwid ang buong Argob ay ibinigay ko sa kalahati ng lipi ni Manases.”
(Ang buong Bashan ay tinatawag na lupain ng mga Refaim. 14 Ang buong lupain nga ng Argob, at ang Bashan, hanggang sa hangganan ng mga Gesureo at Maacateo, ay napunta kay Jair na anak ni Manases. Hanggang ngayon, may ilang nayon doon na tinatawag na Mga Nayon ni Jair, sunod sa pangalan niya.)
15 “Ang Gilead naman ay ibinigay ko kay Maquir. 16 Sa mga lipi naman nina Ruben at Gad ay ibinigay ko ang lupain mula sa Gilead hanggang sa kalagitnaan ng Ilog Arnon. Ang Ilog Arnon ang hangganan nito sa timog at ang Ilog Jabok naman sa hilaga. Dito naman nagsimula ang lupain ng lahi ni Ammon. 17 Sa kanluran ang lupain nila'y abot sa Ilog Jordan, mula sa Lawa ng Cineret hanggang sa Dagat na Patay. Abot naman sa Bundok Pisga sa gawing silangan.
18 “Sinabi(C) ko sa kanila noon: ‘Ang lupaing ito ang ibinibigay sa inyo ni Yahweh na ating Diyos, ngunit ang lahat ng mandirigma ay makikipaglaban munang kasama ng ibang Israelita. 19 Maiiwan dito ang inyong mga pamilya at ang inyong mga hayop sapagkat alam kong marami kayong alagang hayop. 20 Hindi kayo babalik dito hanggang ang mga kapatid ninyong Israelita ay hindi napapanatag sa lupaing ibinigay sa kanila ni Yahweh.’
21 “Ito naman ang sinabi ko kay Josue: ‘Nakita mo ang ginawa ni Yahweh sa dalawang haring Amoreo; ganoon din ang gagawin ni Yahweh sa mga hari ng lupaing pupuntahan ninyo. 22 Huwag kang matatakot sa kanila sapagkat si Yahweh ang siyang nakikipaglaban para sa inyo.’
Hindi Pinapasok sa Canaan si Moises
23 “Nakiusap(D) ako noon kay Yahweh. Ang sabi ko, 24 ‘Panginoong Yahweh, pinasimulan mo nang ipakita sa akin ang iyong kapangyarihan. Sinong diyos sa langit o sa lupa ang makakagawa ng iyong ginagawa? 25 Hinihiling ko sa iyong patawirin mo ako sa ibayo ng Jordan upang makita ko ang maganda at masaganang lupaing iyon, ang kaburulan at ang Bundok Lebanon.’
26 “Ngunit hindi niya ako pinakinggan sapagkat nagalit nga siya sa akin dahil sa inyo. Ang sagot niya sa akin: ‘Tumigil ka na! Huwag mo nang mabanggit-banggit sa akin ang bagay na ito. 27 Umakyat ka na lamang sa tuktok ng Pisga at tanawin mo ang paligid sapagkat hindi ka makakatawid ng Jordan. 28 Ituro mo kay Josue ang dapat niyang gawin, at palakasin mo ang kanyang loob sapagkat siya ang mangunguna sa Israel sa pagsakop sa lupaing matatanaw mo.’
29 “At nanatili tayo sa libis na nasa tapat ng Beth-peor.

Deuteronomy 3
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 3
Defeat of Og. 1 Next we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og, the king of Bashan, came out against us, he and all his people, to give battle at Edrei. 2 But the Lord said to me, “Do not fear him, for I will deliver him and all his people and his land into your hands. You will do the same thing to him that you did to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.” 3 The Lord, our God, delivered Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people into our hands. We continued to attack them until there was not a single survivor left. 4 This was when we captured all of his cities. There was not a single city that we did not take from them, sixty in all, the entire region of the Argob, the kingdom of Og of Bashan. 5 All of these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars. There were also a great number of unfortified cities. 6 We totally destroyed them, just as we had destroyed Sihon, the king of Heshbon, wiping out the men, women, and children from every city. 7 But we took all the cattle and spoils of the cities as pillage.
8 This was when we took the land of two of the kings of the Amorites from their hands, land on the east of the Jordan, from the Arnon River to Mount Hermon. 9 (The Sidonians call Hermon Siron, while the Amorites call it Senir.) 10 This included all of the cities of the plain and all of Gilead and all of Bashan, up to Salecah and Edrei, cities in the kingdom of Og of Bashan. 11 (Og was the last of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed was made of iron, and it was nine cubits long and four cubits wide. It is now in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)[a]
12 Distribution of Conquered Lands. From the land that we occupied at this time, I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the land beginning at Aroer on the Arnon River and half of the hill country of Gilead as well as its cities. 13 I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (This was the whole region of Argob with all of Bashan, and it was known as the land of the Rephaim. 14 The clan of Jair, the son of Manasseh, took the entire region of Argob up to the borders with the Geshurites and the Maacathites. They named it after themselves, so that Bashan is known as Havvoth-jair until the present.) 15 [b]I gave Gilead to Machir. 16 I gave the Reubenites and the Gadites the land that stretched from Gilead up to the Arnon River (with the center of the valley being the boundary) and on to the Jabbok River, the border with the Ammonites. 17 Its border on the west was the Jordan in the Arabah, from the Kinnereth down to the Sea in the Arabah, the Salt Sea, at the foot of the slopes of the Pisgah.
18 At that time I commanded you, “The Lord, your God, has given you this land to possess. Have all of the armed men pass over in front of their brethren, the Israelites, armed for battle. 19 But your wives and your children and your cattle (for I know that you have many cattle) can remain in your cities that I have given you. 20 It will be this way until the Lord gives rest to your brothers as he already has to you, so that they also come to possess the land that the Lord, your God, has given them on the other side of the Jordan. Then, each of you can return to the property that I have given you.”
21 Then I commanded Joshua, “You have seen with your own eyes what the Lord, your God, has done to these two kings. This is what the Lord will do to any kingdom that you might encounter.[c] 22 Do not be afraid of them, for the Lord, your God, will fight for you.”
23 Moses Forbidden to Enter Jordan. At that time I pleaded with the Lord, 24 “O Lord God, you have begun to show your servant your greatness and your strong arm. What God in heaven or on earth can do such deeds and mighty works as yours? 25 Please let me cross over and see the bounteous land that is on the other side of the Jordan, the hill country and the Lebanon.”
26 But the Lord was angry with me because of you[d] and would not listen to me. The Lord said to me, “Enough! Do not speak to me about this anymore. 27 Climb up to the top of Pisgah and look to the west, the north, the south, and the east and see it with your own eyes, for you shall not cross over this Jordan. 28 But give orders to Joshua and encourage and strengthen him, for he is to lead this people across and he will give them the land that you see as an inheritance.” 29 So we remained in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
Footnotes
- Deuteronomy 3:11 The bed seems more like a tomb. The description may refer to a geological or archaeological discovery: perhaps one of the dolmens to be seen in the region of Amman. This verse, like verse 9 above, verses 13b-14a below, and, earlier, 2:20-23, is a kind of explanatory note inserted in the discourse, of which it is not a part.
- Deuteronomy 3:15 This assignment of land to the tribes refers to a period earlier than that in verses 12-13.
- Deuteronomy 3:21 Drawing attention to the past victories of the Israelites is the Lord’s way of encouraging them to trust that he will continue to be their stronghold against the Canaanites.
- Deuteronomy 3:26 Because of you: Moses points his finger outward for his inability to enter the Promised Land. There are conflicting passages as to who is to blame (see Deut 32:51; Num 20:12).
