Numbers 21
1 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
Ary raha ren’ ilay Kananita, mpanjakan’ i Arada, izay nonina teo amin’ ny tany atsimo, fa efa mandeha amin’ ny lalana mankany Atarima ny Isiraely, dia niady taminy izy, ka nentiny ho babo ny sasany tamin’ ny Isiraely.
2 Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
Dia nivoady tamin’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Raha hatolotrao eo an-tananay tokoa ity firenena ity, dia hataonay levona avokoa ny tanànany.
3 The LORD listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called Hormah.
Ary Jehovah nihaino ny feon’ ny Isiraely ka dia natolony azy ny Kananita: ary dia nataon’ ny Isiraely levona izy sy ny tanànany; koa ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia natao hoe Horma.
4 They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.
Ary niala tany an-tendrombohitra Hora izy ka nahazo ny lalana mankany amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena hanodidina ny tany Edoma; dia kivy ny fanahin’ ny olona noho ny lalana.
5 The people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, there is no water, and our soul loathes this disgusting food!”
Ary niteny nanome tsiny an’ Andriamanitra sy Mosesy ny olona ka nanao hoe: Nahoana no nentinao niakatra avy tany Egypta amin’ ny lalan’ ny mpisafo-tany izahay ho faty atỳ an-efitra? fa tsy misy mofo na rano atỳ ary mahamonamonaina ny fanahinay itony mofomofo foana itony.
6 The LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel died.
Ary Jehovah dia nampandeha ny menaran’ afo teny amin’ ny olona, ka nanaikitra ny olona ireny; dia nahafatesana be ny olona Isiraely.
7 The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses prayed for the people.
Dia nankeo amin’ i Mosesy ny olona ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota izahay, fa efa niteny nanome tsiny an’ i Jehovah sy ianao. Ifony amin’ i Jehovah izahay mba hanesorany ny menarana aminay. Dia nifona ho an’ ny olona Mosesy.
8 The LORD said to Moses, “Make a venomous snake, and set it on a pole. It shall happen that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Manaova menaran’ afo, ka ahantòny amin’ ny hazo lava, ary izay rehetra voakaikitra dia ho velona, raha mijery izany.
9 Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.
Dia nanao menarana varahina Mosesy ka nanantona azy tamin’ ny hazo lava; ary izay olona voakaikitry ny menarana ka nijery ilay menarana varahina dia velona.
10 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nifindra ka nitoby tao Obota.
11 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
Ary nony niala tao Obota, izy, dia nitoby tao Ie-abarima, tany amin’ ny efitra izay mifanolotra amin’ i Moaba, tandrifin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro.
12 From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
Ary nony niala tao izy, dia nitoby tao amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda.
13 From there they traveled, 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.
Ary nony niala tao izy, dia nitoby tao an-dafin’ i Arnona, izay any an-efitra sady avy amin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Amorita; fa Arnona no fari-tanin’ ny Moabita, eo anelanelan’ ny Moabita sy ny Amorita.
14 Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
Koa izany no ilazana eo amin’ ny Bokin’ ny Adin’ i Jehovah hoe: Vaheba any Sofa sy ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona,
15 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”
Ary ny tany kisolosolo amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka, izay mandroso mankeo amin’ ny tanin’ i Ara ka mipaka amin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Moaba.
16 From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
Ary niala tao izy hankany Bera, dia ilay lavaka fantsakana nilazan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy hoe: Angony ny olona, fa homeko rano izy.
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,
Dia nihira izao fihirana izao ny Isiraely: Miboiboiha, ry lavaka fantsakana! Ataovinareo an-kira izy;
18 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
Lavaka fantsakana izay nohadin’ ireo mpanao lalàna, ary nolavahan’ ireo manan-kaja amin’ ny firenena. Tamin’ ny tehiny, dia ny tehina fanapahana. Ary nony niala tany an-efitra izy, dia nankao Matana.
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
Ary nony niala tao Matana izy, dia nankao Nahaliela; ary nony niala tao Nahaliela izy, dia nankao Bamota;
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
ary nony niala tao Bamota izy, dia nankany an-dohasaha izay ao amin’ ny tany Moaba, ao an-tampon’ i Pisga, izay manatrika ny efitra.
21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Ary ny Isiraely naniraka olona ho any amin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, hanao hoe:
22 “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn away into field or vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
Aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao izahay, fa tsy hania ho amin’ ny saha na ho amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka izahay, ary tsy hisotro ny rano amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana; ny lalan’ andriana ihany no halehanay mandra-pahafakay ny fari-taninao.
23 Sihon would not allow 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. He fought against Israel.
Nefa Sihona tsy namela ny Isiraely handeha hamaky ny taniny, fa nanangona ny vahoakany rehetra izy ka nivoaka avy tany an-efitra hihaona amin’ ny Isiraely, dia nankany Jahaza; ary niady tamin’ ny Isiraely teo izy.
24 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was fortified.
Ary ny Isiraely namely azy tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra ka nahazo ny taniny hatrany Amona ka hatrany Jaboka, dia hatramin’ ny taranak’ i Amona; fa mafy ny fari-tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
25 Israel took all these cities. Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
Dia nalain’ ny Isiraely izany tanàna rehetra izany; ary nonenany ny tanànan’ ny Amorita rehetra, dia Hesbona sy ny zana-bohiny rehetra.
26 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 to the Arnon.
Hesbona no tanànan’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay efa nanafika ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba taloha, ka efa nalainy taminy avokoa ny taniny rehetra hatrany Arnona.
27 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
Izany no nanaovan’ ny mpanao oha-teny hoe: Midìra ao Hesbona ianareo; aoka hamboarina sy hatao mafy ny tanànan’ i Sihona;
28 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
Fa nisy afo nivoaka avy tao Hesbona, sy lelafo avy tao an-tanànan’ i Sihona, Ka nandevona an’ i Aran’ i Moaba sy ny tompon’ ny havoan’ i Arnona.
29 Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.
Lozanao, ry Moaba! Ringana ianao, ry olon’ i Kemosy! Foiny handositra ny zananilahy, ary navelany ho babo ny zananivavy, ho an’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita.
30 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
Notifirintsika izy; ringana Hesbona hatrany Dibona; nofoanantsika izy hatrany Nofa, izay mipaka an’ i Medeba.
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
Dia nitoetra tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Amorita ny Isiraely.
32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
Ary Mosesy naniraka olona hisafo an’ i Jazera; ary ny Isiraely dia nahafaka ny zana-bohiny ka nandroaka ny Amorita izay tany.
33 They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
Ary niverina ny olona ka niakatra tamin’ ny lalana mankany Basana; dia nivoaka Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana, hihaona aminy, dia izy sy ny vahoakany rehetra, hiady tao Edrehy.
34 The LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”
Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Aza matahotra azy ianao, fa efa natolotro eo an-tananao izy sy ny vahoakany rehetra ary ny taniny; ary ianao hanao aminy araka izay nataonao tamin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay nitoetra tao Hesbona.
35 So they struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
Dia namely azy sy ny zananilahy ary ny vahoakany rehetra izy, ka tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza; dia nahazo ny taniny izy.
