4 Mojžišova 21
1 To když uslyšel Kananejský král v Arad, kterýž bydlil na poledne, že by táhl Izrael tou cestou, kterouž byli špehéři šli, bojoval s ním, a zajal jich množství.
The king of Arad [city] lived in the area where the Canaan people-group lived, in the desert in the southern part of the land. He heard a report that the Israelis were approaching on the road to Atharim [village]. So his army attacked the Israelis and captured some of them.
2 Tedy Izrael učinil slib Hospodinu, řka: Jestliže dáš lid tento v ruce mé, do gruntu zkazím města jejich.
Then the Israelis solemnly vowed: “Yahweh, if you will help us to defeat these people, we will completely destroy all their towns.”
3 I uslyšel Hospodin hlas Izraele a dal mu Kananejské, kterýžto do gruntu zkazil je i města jejich, a nazval jméno toho místa Horma.
Yahweh heard what they requested, and he enabled them to defeat the army of the Canaan people-group. The Israeli soldiers killed all the people and destroyed their towns. [Ever since that time], that place has been called Hormah [which means ‘destruction’].
4 Potom hnuli se s hory Hor cestou k moři Rudému, aby obešli zemi Idumejskou; i ustával lid velice na cestě.
Then the Israelis left Hor Mountain and traveled on the road towards the Red Sea, in order to go around [the land of] Edom. But the people became impatient along the way,
5 A mluvil lid proti Bohu a proti Mojžíšovi: Proč jste vyvedli nás z Egypta, abychom zemřeli na poušti? Nebo ani chleba ani vody není, a duše naše chléb tento ničemný sobě již zošklivila.
and they began to grumble/complain against God and against Moses/me. They said, “Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die here in this desert [RHQ]? There is nothing to eat here, and nothing to drink. And we detest this lousy [manna] food!”
6 Protož dopustil Hospodin na lid hady ohnivé, kteříž jej štípali, tak že množství lidu zemřelo z Izraele.
So Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among them. Many of the people were bitten by the snakes and died.
7 Tedy přišel lid k Mojžíšovi a řekli: Zhřešili jsme, nebo jsme mluvili proti Hospodinu a proti tobě; modl se Hospodinu, ať odejme od nás ty hady. I modlil se Mojžíš za lid.
Then the people came to Moses/me and cried out, saying, “We [now know that we] have sinned against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh, asking that he will take away the snakes!” So Moses/I prayed for the people.
8 I řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Udělej sobě hada podobného těm ohnivým, a vyzdvihni jej na sochu; a každý ušťknutý, když pohledí na něj, živ bude.
Then Yahweh told him/me, “Make a model/image of a poisonous snake, and attach it to the top of a pole. If those who are bitten by the snakes look at that model, they will (recover/get well).”
9 I udělal Mojžíš hada měděného, a vyzdvihl jej na sochu; a stalo se, když ušťkl had někoho, a on vzhlédl na hada měděného, že zůstal živ.
So Moses/I made a snake from bronze and attached it to the top of a pole. Then, when those who had been bitten by a snake looked at the bronze snake, they recovered!
10 Tedy hnuli se odtud synové Izraelští, a položili se v Obot.
Then the Israelis traveled to Oboth and (camped/set up their tents) there.
11 Potom pak hnuvše se z Obot, položili se při pahrbcích hor Abarim na poušti, kteráž jest naproti zemi Moábské k východu slunce.
Then they left there, and went to Iye-Abarim, in the desert on the eastern border of Moab.
12 Odtud brali se, a položili se v údolí Záred.
From there they traveled to the valley where the Zered riverbed is, and camped there.
13 Opět hnuvše se odtud, položili se u brodu potoka Arnon, kterýž jest na poušti, a vychází z končin Amorejských. Nebo Arnon jest pomezí Moábské mezi Moábskými a Amorejskými.
Then they traveled to the north side of the Arnon [River]. That area is in the desert next to the land where the Amor people-group lived. The Arnon [River] is the boundary between Moab and where the Amor people-group lived.
14 Protož praví se v knize bojů Hospodinových, že proti Vahebovi u vichřici bojoval, a proti potokům Arnon.
That is why in the book called ‘The Book of the Wars of Yahweh’ it tells about “Waheb [town] in the Suphah area, and the ravines there; and the Arnon [River]
15 Nebo tok těch potoků, kterýž se nachyluje ku položení Ar, ten jde vedlé pomezí Moábského.
and the ravines there, which extend as far as Ar [village] on the border of Moab.”
16 A odtud táhli do Beer; a to jest to Beer, o němž byl řekl Hospodin k Mojžíšovi: Shromažď lid, a dám jim vodu.
From there, the Israelis traveled to Beer. There was a well there, where Yahweh previously had said to Moses/me, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17 Tedy zpíval lid Izraelský písničku tuto: Vystupiž studnice, prozpěvujte o ní;
There the Israelis sang this song: “O well, give us water! Sing about this well!
18 Studnice, kterouž kopala knížata, kterouž vykopali přední z lidu s vydavatelem zákona holemi svými. Z pouště pak brali se do Matana,
Sing about this well which our leaders dug; they dug out [the dirt] with their royal scepters and their walking sticks.” Then the Israelis left that desert and went through Mattanah,
19 A z Matana do Nahaliel, z Nahaliel do Bamot,
Nahaliel, and Bamoth [villages].
20 A z Bamot do údolí, kteréž jest na poli Moábském, až k vrchu hory, kteráž leží na proti poušti.
Then they went to the valley in Moab where Pisgah [Mountain] rises above the desert.
21 Tedy poslal lid Izraelský posly k Seonovi králi Amorejskému, řka:
Then the Israelis sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. This was the message [that they/we gave him]:
22 Nechť jdeme skrze zemi tvou. Neuchýlíme se ani do pole, ani do vinic, ani z studnic vody píti nebudeme, ale cestou královskou půjdeme, dokavadž nepřejdeme pomezí tvého.
“Allow us to travel through your country. We will stay on the king’s highway, [the main road that goes from the south to the north], until we have finished traveling through your land. We will not walk through any field or vineyard, or drink water from your wells.”
23 I nedopustil Seon jíti lidu Izraelskému skrze krajinu svou, nýbrž sebrav Seon všecken lid svůj, vytáhl proti lidu Izraelskému na poušť, a přitáh do Jasa, bojoval proti Izraelovi.
But King Sihon refused. He would not allow them to walk through his land. Instead, he sent his whole army to attack the Israelis in the desert. They attacked the Israelis at Jahaz [village].
24 I porazil jej lid Izraelský mečem, a vzal v dědictví zemi jeho, od Arnon až do Jabok, a až do země synů Ammon; nebo pevné bylo pomezí Ammonitských.
But the Israelis completely defeated them and occupied their land, from the Arnon [River in the south] to the Jabbok [River in the north]. They stopped at the border of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, because [the Ammon army was defending] the border strongly.
25 Tedy vzal Izrael všecka ta města, a přebýval ve všech městech Amorejských, v Ezebon a ve všech městečkách jeho.
So the Israelis occupied all the cities and towns where the Amor people-group lived, and some of the Israelis began to live in them. They occupied Heshbon [city] and the nearby villages.
26 Nebo Ezebon bylo město Seona krále Amorejského, kterýž když bojoval proti králi Moábskému prvnímu, vzal mu všecku zemi jeho z rukou jeho až do Arnon.
Heshbon was the capital of the country. It was the city where King Sihon ruled. His army had previously defeated the army of the king of Moab, and then his people had begun to live in all of the land of Moab as far as the Arnon [River in the south].
27 Protož říkávali v přísloví: Poďte do Ezebon, aby vystaveno bylo a vzděláno město Seonovo.
For that reason, one of the poets wrote long ago, “Come to Heshbon, the city where King Sihon [ruled]. We want the city to be restored/rebuilt.
28 Nebo oheň vyšel z Ezebon, a plamen z města Seon, i spálil Ar Moábských a obyvatele výsosti Arnon.
A fire blazed from Heshbon; it burned down Ar [city] in Moab, it destroyed [everything on] the hills along the Arnon [River].
29 Běda tobě Moáb, zahynuls lide Chámos; dal syny své v utíkání, a dcery své v zajetí králi Amorejskému Seonovi.
You people of Moab, terrible things have happened to you! You people who [worship your god] Chemosh have been (annihilated/wiped out)! The men who [worshiped] [MET] Chemosh have run away and are now refugees, and the women [who worshiped him] have been captured by [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group.
30 A království jejich zahynulo od Ezebon až do Dibon, a vyhladili jsme je až do Nofe, kteréž jest až k Medaba.
But we have defeated [Sihon and] those descendants of Amor, all the way from Heshbon [in the north] to Dibon [city in the south]. We have completely obliterated/destroyed them as far as Nophah and Medeba [towns].”
31 A tak bydlil Izrael v zemi Amorejské.
So the Israeli people began to live in the land where the Amor people-group lived.
32 Potom poslal Mojžíš, aby shlédli Jazer, kteréž vzali i s městečky jeho; a tak vyhnal Amorejské, kteříž tam bydlili.
After Moses/I sent some men to explore the area near Jazer [city], Israeli people began to live in all the towns in that region and expelled the Amor people-group who lived there.
33 Obrátivše se pak, táhli cestou k Bázan. I vytáhl Og, král Bázan, proti nim, on i všecken lid jeho, aby bojoval v Edrei.
Then they turned [north] toward the Bashan region, but King Og of Bashan and all his army attacked them at Edrei [town].
34 Tedy řekl Hospodin Mojžíšovi: Neboj se ho; nebo v ruce tvé dal jsem jej, i všecken lid jeho, i zemi jeho, a učiníš jemu tak, jakož jsi učinil Seonovi, králi Amorejskému, kterýž bydlil v Ezebon.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Do not be afraid of Og, because I am going to enable your men to defeat him and his army, and to take possession of all his land. You will do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon.”
35 I porazili jej i syny jeho, i všecken lid jeho, tak že žádný živý po něm nezůstal, a uvázali se dědičně v zemi jeho.
And that is what happened. We Israelis defeated Og’s army, and killed King Og and his sons and all his people. Not a person survived! And then we Israelis began to live in their land.
