The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
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.
Israel vowed a vow to Yahweh, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”

Yahweh listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called 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.
They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.

The people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, there is no water, and our soul loathes this disgusting food!”
6 To naah Angraeng mah kasoetui thacak pahuinawk to kaminawk khaeah patoeh, pahui mah kaminawk to patuk pongah, Israel kaminawk loe paroeai duek o.
Yahweh sent venomous snakes among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel died.

The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us.” 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Make a venomous snake, and set it on a pole. It shall happen that everyone who is bitten, when he sees 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.
Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.

The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
11 Oboth hoi amsak o let moe, ni angyae bang ih Moab pha ai naah kaom, Iye-Abarim ahmuen ah atai o.
They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
12 To ahmuen hoiah amsak o let bae moe, Zered azawn ah anghak o.
From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.

From there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites; for the 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,
Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of Yahweh, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
15 Ar prae ah longh tathuk moe, Moab prae ramri taengah kaom vacong tui ah oh, tiah thuih ih lok to oh.
the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on 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.
From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Yahweh said to 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, well! Sing to it,

the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled 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 to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
21 Israel kaminawk mah Amor siangpahrang Sihon khaeah laicaehnawk to patoeh moe,
Israel sent messengers to 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 your land. We will not turn away into field or vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
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.
Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz. He 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.
Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was fortified.
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.
Israel took all these cities. Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
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 to the Arnon.
27 To pongah palungha lokthui kaminawk mah, Heshbon vangpui ah angzo oh, Sihon ih vangpui hae sah o si;
Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
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 a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the 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 you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.

We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
31 To pongah Israel kaminawk loe Amor kaminawk ih prae thungah khosak o.
Thus Israel lived 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.
Moses sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites who were there.

They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Don’t fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived 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 struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
