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!”

The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses prayed for the people.

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 Te dongah BOEIPA kah caemtloek cabu khuiah tah “Suphah kah Vaheb neh Arnon soklong,” a ti.
Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,

From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17 Te vaengah Israel loh hekah laa hea hlai. Tuito phuet lah, amah te doo lah.
Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,

and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20 Bamoth lamloh Moab khohmuen kah kolrhawk, Pisgah som neh khopong hmai kaha dan la thoeihuh.

Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

“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 Tedae Sihon loh Israel te a khorhi longah kat sak pawh. Sihon loh a pilnam boeih tea coi tih Israel doe ham khosoek la cet uh. Jahaz laa pawk vaengah Israel tea tloek.
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.

26 Amori manghai Sihon kah khopuei Heshbon phoeiah tah lamhma kah Moab manghai tea tloek tih a kut lamkah a khohmuen pum te Arnon duelaa loh.
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 Te dongah aka thuidoekrhoek loh, “Halo uh, Heshbon thoh uh lamtah Sihon khopuei khaw sikim saeh,” tila aka thuidoek rhoek loh a thuiuh.

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 Anunae Moab nang aih te, Khemosh pilnamna milh coeng, a capa rhoek! te hlangyong la, a canurhoek khaw Sihon Amori manghai taengah thongtla laa paek.
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.
30 Amih te n'dongtih Heshbon tah Dibon duela milh, Medeba taengkah Nophah duela m'pong sak uh coeng,” a ti uh.
We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”

So they struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
