Brojevi 21
1 Kralj Arada, Kanaanac koji je živio u Negebu, ču da Izrael dolazi Atarimskim putem, pa navali na Izraela i neke njegove zarobi.
And when king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, had heard this, to wit, that Israel was come by the way of the spies, he fought against them, and overcoming them carried off their spoils.
2 Tada se Izrael ovako zavjetova Jahvi: “Ako u moje ruke izručiš ovaj narod, potpuno ću uništiti njegove gradove.”
But Israel binding himself by vow to the Lord, said: It thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 Jahve usliša glas Izraela i predade mu Kanaance. A Izrael njih i njihove gradove 'heremom' uništi. Stoga se ono mjesto prozva Horma.
And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and delivered up the Chanaanite, and they cut them off and destroyed their cities: and they called the name of that place Horma, that is to say, Anathema.
4 Od brda Hora zapute se prema Crvenom moru da zaobiđu zemlju edomsku. Narod putem postane nestrpljiv.
And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and labour:
5 I počne govoriti i protiv Boga i protiv Mojsija: “Zašto nas izvedoste iz Egipta da pomremo u ovoj pustinji? Nema kruha, nema vode, a to bijedno jelo već se ogadilo dušama našim.”
And speaking against God and Moses, they said: Why didst thou bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food.
6 Onda Jahve pošalje na narod ljute zmije; ujedale ih one, tako te pomrije mnogo naroda u Izraelu.
Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.
7 Dođe narod k Mojsiju pa reče: “Sagriješili samo kad smo govorili protiv Jahve i protiv tebe. Pomoli se Jahvi da ukloni zmije od nas!” Mojsije se pomoli za narod,
Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and thee: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 i Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Napravi otrovnicu i stavi je na stup: tko god bude ujeden, ostat će na životu ako je pogleda.”
And the Lord said to him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.
9 Mojsije napravi zmiju od mjedi i postavi je na stup. Kad bi koga ujela ljutica, pogledao bi u mjedenu zmiju i ozdravio.
Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.
10 Pođu Izraelci i utabore se u Obotu.
And the children of Israel setting forwards camped in Oboth.
11 Potom se zapute iz Obota i utabore se kraj Ije-Abarima, u pustinji što je nasuprot Moabu, sa strane sunčeva izlaska.
And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east.
12 Odande otputuju te se utabore u dolini Zaredu.
And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared:
13 Odande krenu i utabore se s onu stranu Arnona, koji je u pustinji a izvire u području Amorejaca. Jer je Arnon granica moapska između Moabaca i Amorejaca.
Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites.
14 Zato se veli u “Knjizi Jahvinih vojni”: “Vaheb kod Sufe i doline arnonske
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Amen.
15 i padine doline što se naginje prema mjestu Aru i naslanja se na granicu moapsku ...”
The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.
16 Odande odoše u Beer. To je bunar o kojem je Jahve rekao Mojsiju: “Skupi narod da im dam vode!”
When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Tada Izrael zapjeva ovu pjesmu: “Proključaj, studenče! A vi ga uznosite:
Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:
18 knezovi ga iskopali, prvaci narodni izdubli žezlom, štapom svojim.” Iz pustinje odu u Matanu,
The well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana.
19 iz Matane u Nahaliel, a iz Nahaliela u Bamot;
From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.
20 iz Bamota u dolinu što se stere u moapskom polju, prema vrhuncu Pisge, s koje se pruža vidik na pustaru.
From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.
21 Sad Izrael posla glasnike Sihonu, amorejskome kralju, s porukom:
And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying:
22 “Pusti da prođem preko tvoje zemlje. Nećemo zalaziti u polja i u vinograde, niti ćemo piti vode iz bunara. Ići ćemo Kraljevskim putem dok ne prođemo tvoje područje.”
I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king’s highway, till we be past thy borders.
23 Ali Sihon ne dopusti Izraelu da prođe njegovim područjem, nego skupi sav svoj narod te izađe u pustinju da presretne Izraelce. Stigavši do Jahze, zavojuje na Izraela.
And he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa, and fought against them.
24 Ali ga Izrael potuče oštrim mačem i osvoji njegovu zemlju od Arnona do Jaboka, do Amonaca, jer je Az ležao na granici Amonaca.
And he was slain by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jeboc, and to the confines of the children of Ammon: for the borders of the Ammonites, were kept with a strong garrison.
25 Izrael zauzme sve one gradove i Izrael se nastani u svim onim gradovima Amorejaca; u Hešbonu i svim njegovim naseljima.
So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof.
26 Kako je Hešbon bio glavni grad Sihona, amorejskog kralja, koji je ratovao protiv prijašnjega moapskoga kralja te osvojio svu njegovu zemlju do Arnona,
Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominions, as far as the Arnon.
27 kažu zato pjesnici: “Hrabro, o Hešbone, dobro sazdani, čvrsto posađeni grade Sihonov!
Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:
28 Iz Hešbona oganj suknu, plamen iz grada Sihonova, sažga Ar moapski, proždrije visove arnonske.
A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon.
29 Teško tebi, Moabe! Propao si, narode Kemošev! Od sinova bjegunce učini, a od kćeri svojih ropkinje Sihonu, kralju amorejskom.
Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites.
30 Pobili smo ih; propao je Hešbon do Dibona: sve smo razorili do Nofaha, što je blizu Medebe ...”
Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba.
31 Tako se Izrael nastani u zemlji Amorejaca.
So Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorrhite.
32 Mojsije se uputi da izvidi Jazer. Potom zauzmu njegova naselja a rastjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.
And Moses sent some to take a view of Jazer: and they took the villages of it, and conquered the inhabitants.
33 Okrenu se onda i pođu prema Bašanu. A bašanski kralj Og presrete ih sa svim svojim narodom da zapodjene boj kod Edreja.
And they turned themselves, and went up by the way of Basan, and Og the king of Basan came against them with all his people, to fight in Edrai.
34 Ali Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Ne boj ga se! Predao sam u tvoje ruke njega, sav njegov narod i njegovu zemlju. Postupi s njim kako si postupio s amorejskim kraljem Sihonom koji je boravio u Hešbonu.”
And the Lord said to Moses: Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people, and his country into thy hand: and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, the inhabitant of Hesebon.
35 I potukoše ga, i sinove njegove, i sav njegov narod, tako da nitko ne uteče. Potom zaposjedoše njegovu zemlju.
So they slew him also with his sons, and all his people, not letting any one escape, and they possessed his land.
