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.
And the Canaanite king of Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, and he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
2 Eka Israel nosingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kama: “Ka ichiwonwa jogi e lwetwa, to wabiro tieko miechgi madongo duto.”
Then Israel vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou give this people wholly into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 Jehova Nyasaye nochiko ite ne kwayo Israel kendo nochiwo jo-Kanaan ne gin. Negitiekogi duto kod miechgi; omiyo kanyo negichako ni Horma.
And Jehovah listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them, and their cities. And they called the name of 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;
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to go round the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient on the way;
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 the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt that we should die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and no water, and our soul loathes this light bread.
6 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noolo thuonde man-gi kwiri mager kuomgi; negikayo ji kendo jo-Israel mathoth notho.
Then Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, which bit the people; and much people of Israel 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.
And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, in that we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee: pray to Jehovah that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed 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.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Make thee a fiery [serpent], and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, and looketh upon it, shall live.
9 Omiyo Musa noloso thuol mar mula mi okete ewi luth. Kane ngʼato thuol okayo mi bangʼe ongʼiyo thuond mulano to nochango.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, if a serpent had bitten any man, and he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 Jo-Israel nodhi nyime giwuoth mi gigo kambi kama iluongo ni Oboth.
And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth.
11 Eka ne giwuok Oboth mi gigo kambi kama iluongo ni Iye Abarim, mantiere e thim mochomo piny Moab kochiko yo wuok chiengʼ.
And they removed from Oboth, and encamped at Ijim-Abarim, in the wilderness that is before Moab, toward the sun-rising.
12 Kane giwuok kanyo negidhi nyime gi wuoth mi gigo kambi Holo mar Zered.
From thence they removed, and encamped at the torrent 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 thence they removed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites. For the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab 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 said in the book of the wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, and the brooks of Arnon;
15 kod kuonde mopie mag holo matut, kendo diny mochiko kar tich mar Ar kendo manie e kiewo mar Moab.”
And the stream of the brooks which turneth to the dwelling of Ar, And inclineth toward 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.”
And from thence to Beer: that is the well of which Jehovah spoke to Moses, Assemble the people, and I will give them water.
17 Eka Israel nower wendni: “Yaye soko, bubni oko! Werne soko,
Then Israel sang this song, Rise up, well! sing unto 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,
Well which princes digged, which the nobles of the people hollowed out at [the word of] the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness [they went] 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 that is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks over the surface of the waste.
21 Israel nooro joote mondo owach ne Sihon ma ruodh jo-Amor kama:
And 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 thy land; we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink water out of the wells; on the king's road will we go until we have passed thy border.
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 suffer Israel to go through his border; and Sihon gathered all his people, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and 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 smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 Israel nomako mier madongo duto mag jo-Amor kendo negidak kuondego, kaachiel gi Heshbon kod kuonde dak duto molwore.
And Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, at Heshbon, and in all its dependent 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.
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon.
27 Mano emomiyo jochuog wer nowero niya, “Bi Heshbon mondo mi ogere kendo; mad dala maduongʼ mar Sihon ochal kaka chon.
Therefore the poets say, Come to Heshbon; let the city of Sihon be built and established.
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 there went forth fire from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; It consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of the Arnon.
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 thee, Moab! thou art undone, people of Chemosh: He gave his sons that had escaped, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon the king of the Amorites.
30 “To waseloko loch margi; Heshbon osetieki duto nyaka ochopo Dibon. Wasemukogi nyaka chopi Nofa, modhi nyaka Medeba.”
And 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 Omiyo Israel nodak e piny jo-Amor.
And Israel dwelt 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.
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took its dependent villages, and he dispossessed the Amorites that 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.
And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, for battle to 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.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Fear him not! for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
35 Omiyo neginege, en kaachiel gi yawuote kod jolweny mage duto, maonge ngʼama otony mane odongʼ. Kendo negikawo pinye.
And they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, so that they left him none remaining, and took possession of his land.
