1 Prae aloih bang kaom, Kanaan siangpahrang Arad mah, Israel kaminawk loe Atharim loklam bang hoiah angzo o tih, tiah a thaih naah, Israel kaminawk to a tuk moe, thoemto Israel kaminawk to a naeh.
And [when] king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took [some] of them prisoners.
2 To naah Israel mah Angraeng khaeah, Hae kaminawk hae ka ban ah nang paek nahaeloe, nihcae ih vangpuinawk to ka phraek pae boih han, tiah lokkamhaih sak.
And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 To naah Israel lawkthuihaih to Angraeng mah tahngaih pae moe, Kanaan kaminawk to nihcae ban ah a paek; nihcae hoi nihcae ih vangpuinawk to Israel kaminawk mah phraek pae o boih; to pongah to ahmuen to Hormah, tiah kawk o.
And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
4 Hor mae hoi tacawt o moe, tuipui kathim bangah caehhaih loklam hoiah, Edom prae takui hanah a caeh o naah, loklam to set pongah kaminawk palungboeng o.
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 To naah kaminawk mah Sithaw hoi Mosi khaeah, Tipongah kaicae praezaek ah dueksak hanah Izip prae hoiah nang tacawt haih loe? Caak han takaw doeh om ai, tui doeh om ai; kakhraem ai hae takaw doeh ka panuet o boeh, tiah laisaep o thuih.
And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for [there is] no bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 To naah Angraeng mah kasoetui thacak pahuinawk to kaminawk khaeah patoeh, pahui mah kaminawk to patuk pongah, Israel kaminawk loe paroeai duek o.
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 To pongah kaminawk loe Mosi khaeah angzoh o moe, Angraeng hoi nang kang laisaep o thuih pongah ka zae o boeh; Angraeng mah pahuinawk hae kaicae khae hoiah lak let hanah, lawk na thui paeh, tiah a naa o. To pongah Mosi mah kaminawk hanah lawkthuih pae.
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Kasoetui thacak pahui maeto sah ah loe, cungkui tadong ah bang ah; pahui mah patuk ih kami boih mah, pahui to khet naah, hing o tih, tiah a naa.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 To pongah Mosi mah sum kamling hoiah pahui to sak moe, cungkui pongah a bangh; pahui mah patuk ih kami mah, sum kamling hoiah sak ih pahui to khet naah a hing.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 Israel kaminawk loe hmabang caeh o poe moe, Oboth ah anghak o.
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
11 Oboth hoi amsak o let moe, ni angyae bang ih Moab pha ai naah kaom, Iye-Abarim ahmuen ah atai o.
And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which [is] before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 To ahmuen hoiah amsak o let bae moe, Zered azawn ah anghak o.
From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
13 To ahmuen hoiah amsak o moe, Amor kaminawk ohhaih prae taeng ih praezaek ah kaom, Arnon vapui taeng ih ahmuen maeto bangah anghak o; Arnon vapui loe Moab hoi Amor prae salakah oh.
From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 To pongah, Tuipui kathim hoi Arnon vacongnawk ah a sak ih hmuen kawng loe Angraeng ih misatukhaih cabu thungah oh,
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 Ar prae ah longh tathuk moe, Moab prae ramri taengah kaom vacong tui ah oh, tiah thuih ih lok to oh.
And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
16 Arnon vapui hoi Beer tuipuek ah caeh o moe, to ih tuipuek ahmuen ah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Kaminawk to nawnto amkhuengsak ah, nihcae to tui ka paek han, tiah a naa.
And from thence [they went] to Beer: that [is] the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 To naah Israel kaminawk mah hae laa hae sak o; Aw tuipuek nang, tacawt tahang ah; tacawt tahang hanah laa to sah o boih ah;
Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 ukhaih kaalok sahkung mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng ih caanawk mah tuipuek to takaeh o moe, kami zaehoikungnawk mah doeh angmacae ih cunghet hoiah tuipuek to takaeh o boeh, tiah laa to sak o. To praezaek ahmuen hoiah Mattanah ah a caeh o;
The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by [the direction of] the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah:
19 Mattanah ahmuen hoiah Nahaliel ah, Nahaliel hoiah Bamoth ah,
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 Bamoth hoiah Moab prae thung ih azawn ah caeh o moe, Jeshimon vangpui danhaih Pisgah maesom nuiah a caeh o.
And from Bamoth [in] the valley, that [is] in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21 Israel kaminawk mah Amor siangpahrang Sihon khaeah laicaehnawk to patoeh moe,
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 na prae thung hoiah na caehsak raeh; na lawk thungah maw, to tih ai boeh loe na misur takha thungah maw, ka caeh o mak ai; na tuipuek thung ih tui doeh ka nae o mak ai; na prae ka poeng o ai karoek to, Siangpahrang ih Manglaih Lampui hoiah ni ka caeh o han, tiah thuih pae o.
Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink [of] the waters of the well: [but] we will go along by the king’s [high] way, until we be past thy borders.
23 Toe Sihon mah Israel kaminawk to a prae thung hoiah caehsak ai; anih mah angmah ih misatuh kaminawk to kok boih moe, Israel kaminawk tuk hanah praezaek ah a caeh; Jahaz ahmuen ah caeh moe, Israel kaminawk to a tuk.
And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 Toe Israel kaminawk mah anih to sumsen hoiah takroek o moe, anih ih prae to Arnon hoi Jabbok karoek to, Ammon kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen karoek to lak pae o; Ammon kaminawk ih ramri loe kacak ah pakaa o.
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon [was] strong.
25 Israel kaminawk mah Amor kaminawk ih vangpuinawk to lak o boih moe, Heshbon hoi a taengah kaom avangnawk doeh a lak pae o boih.
And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26 Heshbon loe Armor kaminawk ih siangpahrang, Sihon ohhaih vangpui ah oh; anih mah hmaloe ah kaom Moab siangpahrang to tuk moe, anih khae hoiah a prae to Arnon vapui khoek to a lak pae.
For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
27 To pongah palungha lokthui kaminawk mah, Heshbon vangpui ah angzo oh, Sihon ih vangpui hae sah o si;
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 Sihon siangpahrang ohhaih, Heshbon hoiah hmai to tacawt moe, Moab prae thungah kaom Ar vangpui hoi Arnon vapui taengah kaom, maesang ukkung siangpahrangnawk to kangh boih boeh.
For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, [and] the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Aw Moab prae, khosak na bingh! Aw Khemosh kaminawk, nam ro o boih boeh! Kacawn a capa to misa mah naeh boeh moe, a canunawk to Amor kaminawk ih siangpahrang Sihon khaeah misong ah caehsak boeh.
Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 Kaicae mah Amor kaminawk to ka tuk o pongah, Heshbon prae loe Dibon vangpui khoek to amro boih boeh; Medeba taengah kaom, Nophah vangpui khoek to nihcae to kam ro o sak boih boeh, tiah a thuih o.
We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which [reacheth] unto Medeba.
31 To pongah Israel kaminawk loe Amor kaminawk ih prae thungah khosak o.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 Mosi mah Jaazer vangpui to khet hanah kaminawk to patoeh moe, a taengah kaom vangtanawk to a lak o, to ah kaom Amor kaminawk doeh a haek o.
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that [were] there.
33 To pacoengah nihcae loe amlaem o moe, Bashan bang caehhaih loklam bangah caeh o tahang; to naah Bashan siangpahrang Og mah, angmah ih misatuh kaminawk boih hoiah Edrei ahmuen ah nihcae to tuk hanah a caeh o.
And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
34 To naah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah, Anih to zii hmah; anih doeh, anih ih misatuh kaminawk boih hoi anih ih prae doeh, na ban ah kang paek boeh; to pongah Heshbon ah kaom, Amor kaminawk ih siangpahrang Sihon nuiah na sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, anih nuiah doeh sah ah, tiah a naa.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 To pongah anih to, a capanawk hoi a misatuh kaminawk boih hoiah nawnto, maeto doeh kahing ah loisak ai ah a hum bit; to pacoengah anih ih prae to lak pae o.
So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
