Lampahnah 21
1 Tuithim kah khosa Arad manghai Kanaan loh Atharim longpuei ah Israel a pawk te a yaak vaengah Israel te a vathoh tih tamna la a sol.
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 Te vaengah Israel loh BOEIPA taengah olcaeng neh a caeng tih, “He pilnam he ka kut ah nan paek la nan paek atah a khopuei khaw ka thup bitni,” a ti nah.
And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 BOEIPA loh Israel kah ol te a yaak dongah Kanaan te a paek. Te dongah amih neh a khopuei te a thup tih a hmuen ming te Hormah a sak.
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 tlang lamloh carhaek tuili longpuei la Edom khohmuen te lan ham cet uh. Tedae longpueng ah pilnam kah hinglu tah a huet pah.
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 Te dongah pilnam loh Pathen taeng neh Moses taengah, “Khosoek ah duek ham mai he balae tih Egypt lamloh kaimih nang khuen. Buh om pawh, tui om pawh. Buh kak tangkik he kaimih kah hinglu khaw a mueipuel coeng,” a ti uh.
And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have all of you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loathes this light bread.
6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh pilnam taengah minyuk rhul te a tueih pah tih pilnam te a tuk dongah Israel khui lamkah pilnam muep duek.
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Te vaengah pilnam te Moses taengla cet tih, “BOEIPA taeng neh nang taengah ka cal uh tholh coeng. BOEIPA taengah thangthui lamtah rhul te kaimih taeng lamloh khoe mai saeh,” a ti uh. Te dongah Moses te pilnam ham a thangthui pah.
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against you; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Namah loh minyuk saii lamtah rholik soah bang, te vaengah nana om bitni, rhul kah a tuk boeih loh te te a hmuh vaengah hing ni,” a ti nah.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make you a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live.
9 Te phoeiah Moses loh rhohum rhul te a saii tih rholik dongah a tai. Te a om phoeiah atah rhul loh hlang a tuk akhaw rhohum rhul te a paelki tih 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 Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek te thoeih uh tih Oboth ah rhaeh uh.
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
11 Oboth lamloh thoeih uh tih khomik khocuk kah Moab dan, Ijeabarim khosoek ah rhaeh uh.
And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 Te lamloh cet uh tih Zered soklong ah rhaeh uh.
From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
13 Te lamloh cet uh tih Amori khorhi lamkah aka pawk khosoek kah Arnon rhalvangan ah rhaeh uh. Moab khorhi kah Arnon tah Moab laklo neh Amori laklo ah om.
From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the coasts of the Amorites: for 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.
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 Soklong kah tuibah te Ar khosa la a doo tih Moab khorhi te a pangnat.
And at the stream of the brooks that goes down to the dwelling of Ar, and lies upon the border of Moab.
16 Te lamloh Beer la thoeih uh tih tekah tuito ah tah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam te coi lamtah amih te tui ka pae eh?,” a ti nah.
And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spoke unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Te vaengah Israel loh hekah laa he a hlai. Tuito phuet lah, amah te doo lah.
Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing all of you unto it:
18 Tuito te mangpa rhoek loh a too uh tih, pilnam hlangcong rhoek loh a vueh. Mattanah khosoek lamloh a conghol neh a taem uh.
The princes dug the well, the nobles of the people dug it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
19 Mattanah lamloh kaloh Nahaliel, Nahaliel lamloh Bamoth,
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 Bamoth lamloh Moab khohmuen kah kolrhawk, Pisgah som neh khopong hmai kah a dan la thoeihuh.
And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks toward Jeshimon.
21 Israel loh Amori manghai Sihon taengah puencawn a tueih tih,
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 “Na khohmuen longah ka kat mai eh, lohma li neh misurdum khuiah ka ael uh mahpawh, tuito tui khaw ka o uh mahpawh, na khorhi ka poeng hil manghai longpuei bangla ka vai uh bitni,” a ti nah.
Let me pass through your 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 your borders.
23 Tedae Sihon loh Israel te a khorhi longah kat sak pawh. Sihon loh a pilnam boeih te a coi tih Israel doe ham khosoek la cet uh. Jahaz la a pawk vaengah Israel te a tloek.
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 Te dongah Israel loh anih te cunghang ha neh a tloek tih a khohmuen te Arnon lamloh Jabbok hil, Ammon koca taeng duela a huul pa. Te vaengah Ammon koca khorhi tah cak.
And Israel stroke 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 ca loh te kah khopuei boeih te a loh pah. Te dongah Israel loh Amori khopuei rhoek boeih ah khaw, Heshbon neh a khobuel boeih ah khaw kho a sak.
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 Amori manghai Sihon kah khopuei Heshbon phoeiah tah lamhma kah Moab manghai te a tloek tih a kut lamkah a khohmuen pum te Arnon duela a 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 unto Arnon.
27 Te dongah aka thuidoek rhoek loh, “Halo uh, Heshbon thoh uh lamtah Sihon khopuei khaw sikim saeh,” tila aka thuidoek rhoek loh a thuiuh.
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 Hmai te Heshbon lamloh puek tih Sihon khorha lamkah hmaisai loh Arnon kah hmuensang boei, Moab Ar te a hlawp.
For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it has consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Anunae Moab nang aih te, Khemosh pilnam na milh coeng, a capa rhoek! te hlangyong la, a canu rhoek khaw Sihon Amori manghai taengah thongtla la a paek.
Woe to you, Moab! you are undone, O people of Chemosh: he has given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 Amih te n'dong tih Heshbon tah Dibon duela milh, Medeba taengkah Nophah duela m'pong sak uh coeng,” a ti uh.
We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reachs unto Medeba.
31 Te dongah Israel loh Amori khohmuen ah kho a sak.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 Te phoeiah Moses loh Jazer ah longyam la a tueih tih a khobuel rhoek te a buem, a huul uh phoeiah Amori te pahoi a vai uh.
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
33 Te phoeiah mael uh tih Bashan longpuei a paan uh. Te vaengah Bashan manghai Oga tah amih doe hamla amah khaw a pilnam boeih khaw, Edrei caemtloeknah la cet.
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 Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Anih te rhih boeh, Na kut dongah anih neh a pilnam boeih khaw, a khohmuen khaw kam paek coeng. Heshbon kah khosa, Amori manghai Sihon taengah na saii bangla anih te saii van,” a ti nah.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 Te dongah a taengah rhaengnaeng khaw a sueng pawt hil amah khaw, a ca rhoek khaw, a pilnam boeih khaw a tloek pa uh tih a khohmuen te a huul uh.
So they stroke him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
