Milu Pareinae 21
1 Kanaannaw Arad siangpahrang akalae kaawm e niyah, Isarelnaw, Atharim lam koe lah a tho awh ti a thai awh toteh, Isarelnaw hah a tuk awh teh, a tangawn san lah a man awh.
When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked Israel and captured some prisoners.
2 Hottelah Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA koevah lawk a kam awh teh, hetnaw heh kaimouh kut dawk na poe pawiteh, a khopui hah peng ka raphoe thai han telah ati awh.
So Israel made a vow to the LORD: “If You will deliver this people into our hands, we will devote their cities to destruction.”
3 BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw e lawk a tarawi pouh teh, Kanaannaw teh a kut dawk poe lah ao. Amamouh hoi a khopuinaw hah he a raphoe teh, hote hmuen teh Hormah telah ati awh.
And the LORD heard Israel’s plea and delivered up the Canaanites. Israel devoted them and their cities to destruction; so they named the place Hormah.
4 Hor mon koehoi tuipui paling koelah Edom ram lawngven lahoi a cei awh. Lam ekvoi a kâhei awh dawkvah, taminaw pueng teh a lungkuep laipalah,
Then they set out from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, in order to bypass the land of Edom. But the people grew impatient on the journey
5 Cathut hoi Mosi taranlahoi kahrawngum vah due hanelah bangkongmaw Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai. Vaiyei hai awm hoeh, tui hai awm hoeh, hete vaiyei karawcap e hai ka hringnae ni a panuet toe, telah ati awh.
and spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you led us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread or water, and we detest this wretched food!”
6 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hmai tahrun a thasin teh, taminaw a khue dawkvah moikapap a due awh.
So the LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and many of the Israelites were bitten and died.
7 Hatnavah taminaw ni Mosi koe a tho awh teh, BAWIPA hoi nang koe taranlahoi lawk ka dei e hah ka yon awh toe. Tahrunnaw hah kaimouh koehoi takhoe hanlah BAWIPA koe na kâhet pouh leih, telah atipouh.
Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Intercede with the LORD so He will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses interceded for the people.
8 BAWIPA ni Mosi koe hmai tahrun hah sak nah teh khom dawk hoi pathout pouh. Tahrun ni a khue e pueng ni hote hah a khet vaiteh a hring awh han telah atipouh.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will live.”
9 Hahoi Mosi ni rahum tahrun hah a sak teh, khom dawk a vo. Hahoi teh tahrun ni a khue e pueng rahum tahrun hah a khet awh teh a dam awh.
So Moses made a bronze snake and mounted it on a pole. If anyone who was bitten looked at the bronze snake, he would live.
10 Isarel catounnaw teh, pou a kâtahruet awh teh, Oboth vah a roe awh.
Then the Israelites set out and camped at Oboth.
11 Oboth hoi bout a cei awh teh, Kanîtholah Moab kahrawng teng Iyeabarim vah a roe awh.
They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness opposite Moab to the east.
12 Haw hoi a cei awh teh Zered tanghling dawk a roe awh.
From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13 Haw hoi bout a cei awh teh, Amornaw e ramri hoi pou kâkuen e Arnon namran lah a roe awh. Arnon teh Moab ramri, Moab hoi Amornaw rahak vah kaawm e doeh.
From there they moved on and camped on the other side of the Arnon, in the wilderness that extends into the Amorite territory. Now the Arnon is the border between the Moabites and the Amorites.
14 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA tarantuknae cauk dawk, Suphat hoi Vaheb Arnon, Arnon sawkcanaw hoi.
Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: “Waheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,
15 Ar kho lahoi ka lawng e sawkcanaw hai, Moab ramri lahoi a teng poe ka lawng e telah a dei awh.
even the slopes of the wadis that extend to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
16 Hahoi, Beer lah a cei awh. Haw teh BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, taminaw pueng hah kaw nateh, tui ka poe han ati nae tuikhu koe doeh.
From there they went on to Beer, the well where the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people so that I may give them water.”
17 Hahoi hete la heh Isarelnaw ni a sak awh. Oe tuiphuek tâcawt haw telah la heh a phueng awh
Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well, all of you sing to it!
18 Kahrawikungnaw a bonae tuikhu hah kâlawk kapoekung sonron hoi tai e, miphunnaw kahrawikung ni a tai e, ti hoiyah, hote kahrawng koehoi Mattanah lah a cei awh.
The princes dug the well; the nobles of the people hollowed it out with their scepters and with their staffs.” From the wilderness the Israelites went on to Mattanah,
19 Mattanah hoi Nahaliel, Nahaliel hoi Bamoth,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 Bamoth hoi Moab ram kaawm e tanghling, Pisgah som kho ouk khetnae hmuen, hmu thainae koe a kâtahruet awh.
and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.
21 Isarelnaw ni Amornaw e siangpahrang Sihon koevah, na ram dawk hoi kaimouh na rakan sak haw. Na law dawk thoseh, misur takha dawk thoseh, ka cet awh mahoeh. Na tuikhu dawk e tui hai ka net awh mahoeh.
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Na ram ka tapoung hoeh roukrak, siangpahrang lamthungpui dawk doeh ka cet awh ti telah patounenaw a patoun.
“Let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.”
23 Hatei, Sihon ni a ram dawk rakan sak hane pasoung hoeh. Hottelah Sihon ni a taminaw pueng a pâkhueng teh, Isarelnaw tuk hanlah kahrawngum a kamthaw awh. Jahaz vah a pha awh teh Isarelnaw hah a tuk awh.
But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory. Instead, he gathered his whole army and went out to confront Israel in the wilderness. When he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.
24 Isarelnaw ni, kahran e tahloi hoi a tuk awh van teh a ram teh Arnon hoi Jabbok totouh, Ammon catounnaw ram totouh a la pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ammonnaw e ramri teh pou a patoup awh e doeh.
And Israel put him to the sword and took possession of his land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok—but only up to the border of the Ammonites, because it was fortified.
25 Isarelnaw ni khonaw pueng koung a la awh. Hottelah Isarelnaw teh, Ammonnaw e khonaw pueng dawk Heshbon hoi khotenaw pueng dawk kho a sak awh.
Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them, including Heshbon and all its villages.
26 Heshbon kho teh Ammornaw e siangpahrang Sihon onae kho doeh. Ahni teh Moab siangpahrang hoi taran a kâtuk teh a kut dawk e a ram naw pueng Arnon palang kalatkung doeh.
Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land as far as the Arnon.
27 Hatdawkvah, la ka phuengkung ni, Heshbon vah tho loe, Sihon khopui teh bout thawng awh sei, bout pathoup awh sei.
That is why the poets say: “Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt; let the city of Sihon be restored.
28 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Heshbon hoi hmai a tâco teh, Sihon khopui hoi hmai a to. Moab khopui Ar kho koung a kak. Arnon hmuenrasang bawinaw hoi,
For a fire went out from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the rulers of Arnon’s heights.
29 Oe Moab na yawthoe, nang teh na kahma toe. Khemosh taminaw, Amornaw e siangpahrang koevah, a capanaw yawngkhai hane hoi, a canunaw a san lah a poe awh.
Woe to you, O Moab! You are destroyed, O people of Chemosh! He gave up his sons as refugees, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 Hatei, kai ni na tâ awh toe. Heshbon teh Dibon totouh a kahma. Hottelah Nophah kho totouh a raphoe teh, hot ni teh Medeba totouh a pha.
But we have overthrown them; Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon. We demolished them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
31 Hot patetlah Amornaw e ram koe Isarelnaw teh kho a sak awh.
So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
32 Hahoi Mosi ni Jazer tuet hanlah tami a patoun. Hote kho a la teh, haw vah kaawm e Amor taminaw a pâlei awh.
After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 A ban awh teh, Bashan lam koe lah a takhang awh. Bashan siangpahrang Og teh ahnimouh tuk hanelah ama hoi a taminaw pueng hoi Edrei hoi tuk hanelah a kamthaw awh.
Then they turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet them in battle at Edrei.
34 BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah ahni teh taket hanh loe. Ama hoi a taminaw khuehoi a ram totouh na kut dawk na poe toe. Heshbon e kaawm e Amornaw e siangpahrang Sihon koevah na sak e patetlah na sak han telah atipouh.
But the LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”
35 Hahoi teh ama thoseh, a capanaw thoseh, buet touh boehai pâhlung laipalah a taminaw pueng hoi a thei awh teh a ram teh hmawi a tawn pouh awh.
So they struck down Og, along with his sons and his whole army, until no remnant was left. And they took possession of his land.
