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 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 Tada se Izrael ovako zavjetova Jahvi: “Ako u moje ruke izručiš ovaj narod, potpuno ću uništiti njegove gradove.”
And Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then 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 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 Od brda Hora zapute se prema Crvenom moru da zaobiđu zemlju edomsku. Narod putem postane nestrpljiv.
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 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 the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 Onda Jahve pošalje na narod ljute zmije; ujedale ih one, tako te pomrije mnogo naroda u Izraelu.
And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
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,
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the 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 unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon 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.
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 Pođu Izraelci i utabore se u Obotu.
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched 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 they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 Odande otputuju te se utabore u dolini Zaredu.
From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of 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.
From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
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, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 i padine doline što se naginje prema mjestu Aru i naslanja se na granicu moapsku ...”
And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
16 Odande odoše u Beer. To je bunar o kojem je Jahve rekao Mojsiju: “Skupi narod da im dam vode!”
And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the Lord spake unto 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 sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 knezovi ga iskopali, prvaci narodni izdubli žezlom, štapom svojim.” Iz pustinje odu u Matanu,
The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
19 iz Matane u Nahaliel, a iz Nahaliela u Bamot;
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 iz Bamota u dolinu što se stere u moapskom polju, prema vrhuncu Pisge, s koje se pruža vidik na pustaru.
And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21 Sad Izrael posla glasnike Sihonu, amorejskome kralju, s porukom:
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, 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.”
Let me pass through thy 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 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 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 Ali ga Izrael potuče oštrim mačem i osvoji njegovu zemlju od Arnona do Jaboka, do Amonaca, jer je Az ležao na granici Amonaca.
And Israel smote 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 Izrael zauzme sve one gradove i Izrael se nastani u svim onim gradovima Amorejaca; u Hešbonu i svim njegovim naseljima.
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 Kako je Hešbon bio glavni grad Sihona, amorejskog kralja, koji je ratovao protiv prijašnjega moapskoga kralja te osvojio svu njegovu zemlju do Arnona,
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 kažu zato pjesnici: “Hrabro, o Hešbone, dobro sazdani, čvrsto posađeni grade Sihonov!
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 Iz Hešbona oganj suknu, plamen iz grada Sihonova, sažga Ar moapski, proždrije visove arnonske.
For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of 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 Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 Pobili smo ih; propao je Hešbon do Dibona: sve smo razorili do Nofaha, što je blizu Medebe ...”
We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Tako se Izrael nastani u zemlji Amorejaca.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 Mojsije se uputi da izvidi Jazer. Potom zauzmu njegova naselja a rastjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
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 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 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 unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 I potukoše ga, i sinove njegove, i sav njegov narod, tako da nitko ne uteče. Potom zaposjedoše njegovu zemlju.
So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
