1 Arad Canaan gam lhanglamma lengpa chun Israel mite chun agamkai chu ahin jotpa tauve tithu ajah doh phat in, gal abol khum tan ahile Israel mite phabep songkul atang den tauvin ahi.
The Canaanite king of Arad who lived in the Negev learned that the Israelites were approaching on the road to Atharim. He went and attacked Israel and took some of them prisoners.
2 Chuin Israel miten hitin aseijun Pakai masangah akitom tauvin ahi. Pakai, Pathen nangma in hiche mite hi keima ho khutna neipeh doh ule keihon amaho khopi jaona abonchauva ka suh gam diu ahi, tin asei tau vin ahi.
So Israel made a solemn promise to the Lord: “If you hand these people over to us, we pledge to completely destroy their towns.”
3 Pakaiyin Israel mite taona chu asan peh tan Canaan mite chunga galjona aneitauvin, khopi jong abonchan ajousoh heltauvin chuleh hiche mun chu Hormah asah taove.
The Lord responded to their appeal and handed over the Canaanites to them. The Israelites completely destroyed them and their towns, and named the place Hormah.
4 Israelte chun hikom muna kon chun tuisan lam ahin jon’un Edom gam ahin jotpa uvin, hinlah Israel mite chun lamsao tah ahin jot phat uvin Mose henga akiphin gam taovin ahi.
The Israelites left Mount Hor by the road leading to the Red Sea so they could avoid traveling through the country of Edom. But the people became bad-tempered on the way
5 Israel mite chu Pathen chule Mose heng nga aki phintauvin, itidan a gamthip lah a Egypt apatna nei hin puidoh mong mong uham ati tauvin ahi. Hilai mun hi don ding jong imacha umlou chule keiho hiche manna jong hi kachim tauve tin aseiyuve.
and made complaints against God and against Moses, saying, “Why did you lead us out of Egypt to die in the desert? We don't have bread or water, and we hate this awful food!”
6 Hichun Pakajin Israel mite chunga alunghang na ahin bunglhan ahile aneh nauva chun gu ajaovin mi phabep in thina atoh tauvin ahi.
So the Lord sent poisonous snakes to attack them, and many Israelites were bitten and died.
7 Chuin Israel mite Pakai henga ataovun keihon Pakai doumah seijin ka um un ahile gimbolna ka chung uva ahung lhung jeng tan ahi. Nei ngaidam tauvin tin Pakai henga atao un ahi.
The people went to see Moses and told him, “We were wrong to make complaints against the Lord and against you. Please pray to the Lord to get rid of the snakes from us.” Moses prayed to the Lord on their behalf.
8 Hichun Pakaiyin Mose hengah hiti hin aseijin gul lim semthu in lang khom phung a dinsah in lang, koi hita jong leh hi che gul ve tapou chu dam doh ding, gul in achuh khah jongle damna anei thei ding ahi.
The Lord told Moses, “Make a model of a snake and put it on a pole. When anyone who has been bitten looks at it, they will live.”
9 Mose’n gul asem thun khom ma akhen beh in, koi hita jong le hiche ve achu gul’in achuh khah na akon damna um jeng ding ahi, tin aseijin ahi.
Moses made a snake out of bronze and put it on a pole. Those who looked at it did live.
10 Chu in Israel mite ngahmun lam jon in akitol kittauvin ahi.
The Israelites left and camped at Oboth.
11 Chuin amaho Oboth apat in Ije-Abarim mun lam ahoh pauvin gamthip lam Moab sodoh nalam chu ahi.
Then they moved on from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the desert on the east side of Moab.
12 Ije-Abarim kiti Oboth solam gamthip lah a pat’in aki patdoh un Zared luikhuh a aki chol do tauvin ahi.
They left there and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13 Hichun amaho aki pat doh un Arnon vadung gamthip Amor mite chenna gam lam jon in achie kit tauvin, Arnon vadung hi Moab mite le Amor mite gamgi ahiye.
Then they moved on from there and camped on the far side of the Arnon River, in the desert near Amorite territory. The Arnon River is the border between the Moab and the Amorites.
14 Hijeh chun Pathen lekhabua kimu Pakai galbolna hichu Arnon vadung mun ahi.
That's why the Book of the Wars of the Lord refers to “the town of Waheb in Suphah and the canyon of the Arnon,
15 Hiche mun chu Arnon gam chule Moab gamgi ahi.
the canyon slopes that reach the village of Ar that lies on the border with Moab.”
16 Chuin Arnon gam le Moab gamgi’a pat chun Israel mite Beer jon in akitol tauvin ahi. Hiche muna hi PakaiyinMose hengah thu aseiyin nangho kikoukhom’un keiman nadon diu twi ka peh ding nahiuve tia aseina mun chu ahiye.
From there they moved on to Beer, the well where the Lord told Moses, “Have the people gather together so I can give them water.”
17 Hiche muna chun Israel miten Pathen vahchoila asauvin, ama thangvah nan adim uve.
Then the Israelites sang this song: “Pour out water, well! Everyone of you sing to it!
18 Hiche tui umna muna chun lengnu apang hoi ahiuvin, lamkai ho ahin, abonchauvin twikhuh chu alaiyun chu in Mattanah lam jon in ache tauvin ahi.
The tribal chiefs dug the well; yes the leaders of the people dug the well with their rods of authority and their walking sticks.” The Israelites left the desert and carried on to Mattanah.
19 Mattanah apat’in Nahaliel gam chu ajon un chu in Nahaliel apat in Bamoth ajon un ahi.
From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 Bamoth phaicham alhung tauvin hichu Moab gamsung ahin Pisgah mun hiche apat chu Jeshimon lam ki galdot ahi tai.
and from Bamoth to the valley in the territory of Moab where the top of Mount Pisgah looks down on the wastelands.
21 Chuin Israel miten Mose lamkaijin Amor mite lengpa Sihon henga thuthot aneiyun ahi.
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, with the following request:
22 Keima hon nagam leiset chu kapel thei diu ham keiho ching thei tah a kachi diu chule lengpi lei lah a kachi lou diu nangho tuikhuh a jong tui kadon lou diu ahi. Nangho gamkai sunga hi lengpa lamlen bou kaho pa diu ahi bouve, tin aseiyun ahi.
“Please allow us to travel through your country. We won't cross any of your fields or vineyards, or drink water from any of your wells. We will stay on the King's Highway until we have passed through your country.”
23 Ahinlah Amor mite lengpa Sihon chun Israel mite chu agam ajotpa na diu chu aphal peh tapon, phalpih malah chun lengpa Sihon chu agalsat techu akou khom in abonchauvin gam thip laitah ah chun abulu tan Jahaz kiti mun a chun aki bulu to tauvin ahi.
But Sihon refused to allow the Israelites to travel through his territory. Instead, he called out his whole army and went out to meet the Israelites head-on in the desert. When he arrived at Jahaz, he attacked the Israelites.
24 Isreal miten jong Amor mite chu ale thuh un agam leiset ho jouse jong atou pha tauvin, Arnon vadung apat Jabbok vadung gei Isreal mite chu Amon mite gamgi chan ahung galkaijun Amon mite khopi chu hoitah a kigen kul ahijeh chun hiche muna chun ahung lhung tauvin ahi.
The Israelites defeated them, killing them with their swords. They took over his land from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River —but only as far as the border of the Ammonites, because it was well defended.
25 Hichun Isreal mite le Amon miten agam le lei jouse alo sohtauvin Hesbon khopi ahin adang dang khovel ho jong atou pha sohtauvin ahi.
The Israelites conquered all the Amorite towns and took them over, including Heshbon and its surrounding villages.
26 Amor mite lengpa Sihon dinga Hesbon khopi ana hin Moab mite lengpa kulpi jong ana tou pha in chule Arnon vadung gei ana toupha in ahi.
Heshbon was the capital of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the previous king of Moab and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon River.
27 Mimasa hon Sihon thusimho anajihlut un ahile Hesbon lang apat nang ho hung umdol thusim chu hiche ahin Sihon khopi avella kitung doh kit ahiye.
That's why the old songwriters wrote: “Come to Heshbon and have it be rebuilt; restore the town of Sihon!
28 Hesbon na kon in mei kong ahung kong doh in Sihon kiti’a konin meikhu ahung khu doh in Maob khopi a Arnon umna Moab khopi Arnon chu meikong in ahal lhatai Arnon mite lah a sangtah'a umho chu asuse taove.
For a fire blazed out from Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon. It burned up Ar in Moab where the rulers live on the high places of Arnon.
29 Moab mite hi itabang genthei nan alhun khum hitam! Chemosh boh khup teho nangma akichai na hitai Chemosh in pasal ho umna neilou bang asoh tan a chanu te vang chu Sihon, Amor mite lengpa khut’a asoh achang tauvin ahi.
What a disaster you face, Moab! You are all going to die, people of Chemosh! You handed over your sons as exiles and your daughters as prisoners to Sihon, king of the Amorites.
30 Eihon amaho chu Hesbon a pat’a Dibon gei chu isuh cheh taovin, eihon amho chu Nophah apat Medeba gei chu ipum nocheh taovin ahi.
But now we have defeated the Amorites! Heshbon's rule has been destroyed all the way to Dibon. We wiped them out all the way to Nophah and on to Medeba.”
31 Hiti ahi jeh chun Isreal miten Amor mite chenna gam alo khum taovin ahi.
The Israelites occupied the country of the Amorites.
32 Mose’n phat chomkhat jouvin Jaazer lam ah’a khol chedin asoltan Isreal miten hiche vel'a khopi um jouse chu atou pha tauvin hikom a cheng Amor mite chu abonchauvin ano doh tauve.
Moses sent men to explore Jazer. The Israelites conquered its surrounding villages and expelled the Amorites living there.
33 Hichun Isreal mite aki nung hei taovin Bashan jotna lam ajon tauvin, amavang Bashan lengpa Og chun ama nam mite jouse chutoh Edrei mun ah ana bulhu uvin ahi.
Then they continued on the road towards Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, led his whole army out to meet them head on, and fought them at Edrei.
34 Pakajin Mose henga thu aseiyin Bashan lengpa Og chu ging hih beh in ajeh chu keiman nangma hi gal jona ka peh ding, amaho gamle leiset jouse chule amite chunga thanei na le galjona kapeh nahi tai. Heshbon vaipopa Amor mite lengpa Sihon nabol na bang tah a nagal jo kitding ahi.
The Lord told Moses, “You don't need to be afraid of him, because I have handed him over to you, along with all his people and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled from Heshbon.”
35 Hichun Isreal miten Og lengpa kiti pa ahin amite jouse chu koimacha ahing a nakoi loubeh diu ahi tai. Hichun Isreal miten Bashan mite jouse chu agam le aleiset atou pha taovin asat gam tauve.
So they killed Og, his sons, and all his army. Nobody survived, and the Israelites took over his country.
