Kwan 21
1 Kane ruodh Arad ma ja-Kanaan, mane odak Negev, nowinjo ni Israel ne wuotho e yo kochiko Atharim, nomonjo jo-Israel mi omako moko.
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 Eka Israel nosingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kama: “Ka ichiwonwa jogi e lwetwa, to wabiro tieko miechgi madongo duto.”
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 Jehova Nyasaye nochiko ite ne kwayo Israel kendo nochiwo jo-Kanaan ne gin. Negitiekogi duto kod miechgi; omiyo kanyo negichako ni Horma.
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 Negiwuotho ka gia Got Hor ka giluwo yo mochiko Nam Makwar, mondo giluor Edom. To ji chunygi nojok ka gin e yo;
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 omiyo negikwedo Nyasaye kod Musa, mi giwacho niya, “En angʼo momiyo ne igolowa Misri mondo watho e thimni? Waonge chiemo, waonge pi! Ok wadwar chiemo marachni!”
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 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noolo thuonde man-gi kwiri mager kuomgi; negikayo ji kendo jo-Israel mathoth notho.
So the LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and many of the Israelites were bitten and died.
7 Ji nobiro ir Musa mi giwachone niya, “Ne watimo richo e kinde mane wakwedo Jehova Nyasaye kod in. Lamnwa mondo Jehova Nyasaye ogol thuondegi oa kuomwa.” Omiyo Musa nolamone jogo.
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 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Los thuond mula kendo ikete ewi luth; ma ngʼato angʼata ma thuol okayo kongʼiye to chango.”
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 Omiyo Musa noloso thuol mar mula mi okete ewi luth. Kane ngʼato thuol okayo mi bangʼe ongʼiyo thuond mulano to nochango.
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 Jo-Israel nodhi nyime giwuoth mi gigo kambi kama iluongo ni Oboth.
Then the Israelites set out and camped at Oboth.
11 Eka ne giwuok Oboth mi gigo kambi kama iluongo ni Iye Abarim, mantiere e thim mochomo piny Moab kochiko yo wuok chiengʼ.
They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness opposite Moab to the east.
12 Kane giwuok kanyo negidhi nyime gi wuoth mi gigo kambi Holo mar Zered.
From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13 Negiwuok kanyo mi gigo kambi e bath aora Arnon, ma en thim molawore nyaka e piny jo-Amor. Arnon en kiewo mar Moab, mantiere e kind Moab kod jo-Amor.
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 Mano emomiyo Kitabu mar Lweny mar Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Waheb mantiere Sufa kod holo mar aora Arnon,
Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: “Waheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,
15 kod kuonde mopie mag holo matut, kendo diny mochiko kar tich mar Ar kendo manie e kiewo mar Moab.”
even the slopes of the wadis that extend to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
16 Koa kanyo negidhi nyime nyaka Beer, ma en soko kama Jehova Nyasaye nonyisoe Musa niya, “Chok ji obed kanyakla kendo abiro miyogi pi.”
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 Eka Israel nower wendni: “Yaye soko, bubni oko! Werne soko,
Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well, all of you sing to it!
18 wer kuom soko mane rawera matin okunyo, mano mane joka ruoth okunyo; joka ruoth molony e chike kendo man-gi odunga.” Eka negiwuok e thimno ka gidhi Matana,
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 ka gia Matana negidhi Nahaliel, ka gia Nahaliel negidhi Bamoth,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 kendo kane gia Bamoth negidhi e holo mar Moab kama omanyore gi wi got Pisga minyalo nenogo kama otwo.
and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.
21 Israel nooro joote mondo owach ne Sihon ma ruodh jo-Amor kama:
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 “Yienwauru wakal e pinyu. Ok wanabar tenge e puothu moro amora kata e mago mag mzabibu, kata modho pi moa e soko moro amora. Wabiro wuotho e yor ruoth moriere tir nyaka wakal pinyruodhi.”
“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 To Sihon notamo jo-Israel kalo e pinye. Nochoko ogandane mar lweny duto kendo negidhi e thim mondo giked gi Israel. Kane ochopo Jahaz, nokedo gi Israel.
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 Kata kamano jo-Israel nonege gi ligangla kendo gikawo puothe koa aora Arnon nyaka Jabok, ma en tongʼ mar jo-Amon kendo ne giyudo e pinyno ka jogo roteke.
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 Israel nomako mier madongo duto mag jo-Amor kendo negidak kuondego, kaachiel gi Heshbon kod kuonde dak duto molwore.
Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them, including Heshbon and all its villages.
26 Heshbon ne en dala maduongʼ mar Sihon ruodh jo-Amor mane osekedo gi ruoth machon mar Moab kendo nosemayo lopene duto mochopo nyaka aora Arnon.
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 Mano emomiyo jochuog wer nowero niya, “Bi Heshbon mondo mi ogere kendo; mad dala maduongʼ mar Sihon ochal kaka chon.
That is why the poets say: “Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt; let the city of Sihon be restored.
28 “Mach nowuok Heshbon, en mach makakni moa e dala maduongʼ mar Sihon. Nowangʼo Ar man Moab, ma gin jokanyo mag kuonde motingʼore malo mag Arnon.
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 Okwongʼi, yaye Moab, otieku duto, yaye jo-Kemosh! Oseweyo yawuote e lwet nono mobedo jonjore kendo nyige obedo joma oter e twech, ir Sihon ruodh jo-Amor.
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 “To waseloko loch margi; Heshbon osetieki duto nyaka ochopo Dibon. Wasemukogi nyaka chopi Nofa, modhi nyaka Medeba.”
But we have overthrown them; Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon. We demolished them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
31 Omiyo Israel nodak e piny jo-Amor.
So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
32 Bangʼ ka Musa noseoro jonon piny Jazer, jo-Israel nokawo kuonde dak molwore kendo ne giriembo jo-Amor mane ni kanyo.
After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 Eka negigomo ma giluwo yo madhi Bashan, kendo Og ruodh Bashan gi jolweny mage duto nowuok riat mokedo kodgi e lweny Edrei.
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 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Kik iluore, nimar asechiwe e lweti, en kaachiel gi jolweny mage duto kod pinye. Timne kaka ne itimone Sihon ruodh jo-Amor, mane obedo gi loch e piny Heshbon.”
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 Omiyo neginege, en kaachiel gi yawuote kod jolweny mage duto, maonge ngʼama otony mane odongʼ. Kendo negikawo pinye.
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.
