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, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
2 Eka Israel nosingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kama: “Ka ichiwonwa jogi e lwetwa, to wabiro tieko miechgi madongo duto.”
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 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 hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities; and the name of the place was called 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 to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient because of 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: 'Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.'
6 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noolo thuonde man-gi kwiri mager kuomgi; negikayo ji kendo jo-Israel mathoth notho.
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they 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, because 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 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Los thuond mula kendo ikete ewi luth; ma ngʼato angʼata ma thuol okayo kongʼiye to chango.”
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 seeth 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 set it upon the pole; and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto 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 pitched 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 journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is in front of Moab, toward the sun-rising.
12 Kane giwuok kanyo negidhi nyime gi wuoth mi gigo kambi Holo mar Zered.
From thence they journeyed, and pitched 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 thence they journeyed, and pitched on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites. — For 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,
wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the LORD: Vaheb in Suphah, and the valleys of Arnon,
15 kod kuonde mopie mag holo matut, kendo diny mochiko kar tich mar Ar kendo manie e kiewo mar Moab.”
And the slope of the valleys that inclineth toward the seat of Ar, and leaneth upon 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 whereof the LORD said unto Moses: 'Gather the people together, and I will give them water.'
17 Eka Israel nower wendni: “Yaye soko, bubni oko! Werne soko,
Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well — sing ye 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,
The well, which the princes digged, which the nobles of the people delved, with the sceptre, and with their staves. And from the wilderness 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 field of Moab, by the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert.
21 Israel nooro joote mondo owach ne Sihon ma ruodh jo-Amor kama:
And Israel sent messengers unto 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 me pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells; we will go by the king's highway, 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.
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 came to Jahaz; and 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 smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon unto 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, in Heshbon, and in all the towns thereof.
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, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and 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.
Wherefore they that speak in parables say: Come ye 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 a fire is gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it hath devoured Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of 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, O people of Chemosh; he hath given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 “To waseloko loch margi; Heshbon osetieki duto nyaka ochopo Dibon. Wasemukogi nyaka chopi Nofa, modhi nyaka Medeba.”
We have shot at them — Heshbon is perished — even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Omiyo Israel nodak e piny jo-Amor.
Thus 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 Jazer, and they took the towns thereof, and drove out 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 of Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to 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.”
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, who dwelt at Heshbon.'
35 Omiyo neginege, en kaachiel gi yawuote kod jolweny mage duto, maonge ngʼama otony mane odongʼ. Kendo negikawo pinye.
So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him remaining; and they possessed his land.
