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 Arad — dwelling in the south, heareth that Israel hath come the way of the Atharim, and he fighteth against Israel, and taketh [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 voweth a vow to Jehovah, and saith, 'If Thou dost certainly give this people into my hand, then I have devoted 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 hearkeneth to the voice of Israel, and giveth up the Canaanite, and he devoteth them and their cities, and calleth 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 journey from mount Hor, the way of the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom, and the soul of the people is short in 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 speak against God, and against Moses, 'Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul hath been weary of this light bread.'
6 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noolo thuonde man-gi kwiri mager kuomgi; negikayo ji kendo jo-Israel mathoth notho.
And Jehovah sendeth among the people the burning serpents, and they bite the people, and much people of Israel die;
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 come in unto Moses and say, 'We have sinned, for we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, and He doth turn aside from us the serpent;' and Moses prayeth in behalf of 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 saith unto Moses, 'Make for thee a burning [serpent], and set it on an ensign; and it hath been, every one who is bitten and hath seen it — he hath lived.
9 Omiyo Musa noloso thuol mar mula mi okete ewi luth. Kane ngʼato thuol okayo mi bangʼe ongʼiyo thuond mulano to nochango.
And Moses maketh a serpent of brass, and setteth it on the ensign, and it hath been, if the serpent hath bitten any man, and he hath looked expectingly unto the serpent of brass — he hath lived.
10 Jo-Israel nodhi nyime giwuoth mi gigo kambi kama iluongo ni Oboth.
And the sons of Israel journey, and encamp 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 journey from Oboth, and encamp in Ije-Abarim, in the wilderness that [is] on the front of Moab, at the rising of the sun.
12 Kane giwuok kanyo negidhi nyime gi wuoth mi gigo kambi Holo mar Zered.
From thence they have journeyed, and encamp in the valley of Zared.
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 have journeyed, and encamp beyond Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness which is coming out of the border of the Amorite, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorite;
14 Mano emomiyo Kitabu mar Lweny mar Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Waheb mantiere Sufa kod holo mar aora Arnon,
therefore it is said in a book, 'The wars of Jehovah,' — 'Waheb 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 spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the dwelling of Ar, And hath leaned to 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 [they journeyed] to Beer; it [is] the well [concerning] which Jehovah said to Moses, 'Gather the people, and I give to them — water.'
17 Eka Israel nower wendni: “Yaye soko, bubni oko! Werne soko,
Then singeth Israel this song, concerning the well — they have answered 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,
'A well — digged it have princes, Prepared it have nobles of the people, With the lawgiver, with their staves.' And from the wilderness [they journeyed] 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 in the valley which [is] in the field of Moab [to] the top of Pisgah, which hath looked on the front of the wilderness.
21 Israel nooro joote mondo owach ne Sihon ma ruodh jo-Amor kama:
And Israel sendeth messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorite, 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 do not turn aside into a field, or into a vineyard, we do not drink waters of a well; in the king's way we go, till that we pass over 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 hath not suffered Israel to pass through his border, and Sihon gathereth all his people, and cometh out to meet Israel into the wilderness, and cometh in to Jahaz, and fighteth 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 smiteth him by the mouth of the sword, and possesseth his land from Arnon unto Jabbok — unto the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon [is] strong.
25 Israel nomako mier madongo duto mag jo-Amor kendo negidak kuondego, kaachiel gi Heshbon kod kuonde dak duto molwore.
And Israel taketh all these cities, and Israel dwelleth in all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon, and in 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.
for Heshbon is a city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he hath fought against the former king of Moab, and taketh all his land out of his hand, unto Arnon;
27 Mano emomiyo jochuog wer nowero niya, “Bi Heshbon mondo mi ogere kendo; mad dala maduongʼ mar Sihon ochal kaka chon.
therefore those using similes say — 'Enter ye Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,
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 fire hath gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, It hath consumed Ar of Moab, Owners 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, O Moab, Thou hast perished, O people of Chemosh, He hath given his sons who escape — Also his daughters — Into captivity, to a king of the Amorite — Sihon!
30 “To waseloko loch margi; Heshbon osetieki duto nyaka ochopo Dibon. Wasemukogi nyaka chopi Nofa, modhi nyaka Medeba.”
And we shoot them, Perished hath Heshbon unto Dibon, And we make desolate unto Nophah, Which [is] unto Medeba.'
31 Omiyo Israel nodak e piny jo-Amor.
And Israel dwelleth in the land of the Amorite,
32 Bangʼ ka Musa noseoro jonon piny Jazer, jo-Israel nokawo kuonde dak molwore kendo ne giriembo jo-Amor mane ni kanyo.
and Moses sendeth to spy out Jaazer, and they capture its villages, and dispossess the Amorite who [is] 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 turn and go up the way of Bashan, and Og king of Bashan cometh out to meet 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Fear him not, for into thy hand I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and thou hast done to him as thou hast done to Sihon king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon.'
35 Omiyo neginege, en kaachiel gi yawuote kod jolweny mage duto, maonge ngʼama otony mane odongʼ. Kendo negikawo pinye.
And they smite him, and his sons, and all his people, until he hath not left to him a remnant, and they possess his land.
