Numbers 21
1 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.
A ka rongo a Kingi Arara, te Kanaani, i noho nei ki te taha ki te tonga, e haere ana a Iharaira na te ara o Atarimi; na ka tatau ia ki a Iharaira, a whakaraua ana etahi o ratou e ia.
2 So Israel made a vow to the LORD: “If You will deliver this people into our hands, we will devote their cities to destruction.”
Na ka puta te ki taurangi a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Ki te tukua mai e koe tenei iwi ki toku ringa ka tino whakangaromia e ahau o ratou pa.
3 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.
A i whakarongo a Ihowa ki te reo o Iharaira, a homai ana e ia nga Kanaani; a tino whakangaromia ana ratou me o ratou pa e ratou: a huaina iho te ingoa o taua wahi ko Horema.
4 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
Na, ka turia atu e ratou i Maunga Horo na te ara o te Moana Whero ki te taiawhio i te whenua o Eroma: a pouri noa iho te wairua o te iwi i te ara.
5 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!”
A ka whakahe te iwi i te Atua, i a Mohi hoki, He aha i kawea mai ai matou ki runga nei i Ihipa kia mate ki te koraha? kahore nei hoki he taro, kahore he wai; a e whakarihariha ana to matou wairua ki tenei taro mama.
6 So the LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and many of the Israelites were bitten and died.
Na ka tukua mai e Ihowa he nakahi tu a ahi ki te iwi, a ka ngaua te iwi; a he tokomaha o Iharaira i mate.
7 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.
Na ka haere te iwi ki a Mohi, ka mea, Kua hara matou i a matou i whakahe i a Ihowa, i a koe hoki; inoi ki a Ihowa kia tangohia atu e ia nga nakahi i a matou. Na ka inoi a Mohi mo te iwi.
8 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.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Hanga tetahi nakahi tu a ahi mau, ka whakanoho ki te pou: na, mehemea kua ngaua tetahi, a ka titiro atu ia ki reira, ka ora.
9 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.
Na hanga ana e Mohi te nakahi ki te parahi, a whakanohoia ana ki te pou; na, mehemea kua ngaua tetahi e te nakahi, ka titiro ia ki te nakahi parahi, kua ora.
10 Then the Israelites set out and camped at Oboth.
Na ka turia atu e nga tama a Iharaira, a noho ana i Opoto.
11 They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness opposite Moab to the east.
A ka turia atu i Opoto, a noho ana i Iteaparimi, i te koraha i te ritenga atu o Moapa, whaka te rawhiti.
12 From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered.
A ka haere atu ratou i reira, a noho ana i te raorao i Terete.
13 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.
Na ka turia atu i reira, a noho ana i tera taha o Aronona, o tera i te koraha e puta mai ana i nga wahi o nga Amori: ko Aronona hoki te rohe ki a Moapa, kei waenganui o Moapa, o nga Amori.
14 Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: “Waheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,
Koia i korerotia ai i te pukapuka o nga whawhai a Ihowa, Ko tana i mea ai ki te Moana Whero, ki nga awa hoki o Aronona,
15 even the slopes of the wadis that extend to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
Ki nga hurihanga wai ano hoki, e anga ana ki te nohoanga i Ara, e piri nei ki te rohe o Moapa.
16 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.”
A i haere atu ratou i reira ki Peere: ko te puna ia i korero ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Huihuia te iwi, a maku e hoatu he wai ki a ratou.
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well, all of you sing to it!
Na ka waiatatia tenei waiata e Iharaira, Pupuke ake, e te puna; waiatatia:
18 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,
Te puna i keria e nga rangatira, i keria e nga ariki o te iwi, ki te hepeta, a ki a ratou tokotoko. Na ka turia atu e ratou tokotoko. Na ka turia atu e ratou i te koraha ki Matana:
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
I Matana hoki ki Nahariere; a ia Nahariere ki Pamoto:
20 and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.
A i Pamoto ki te raorao i te whenua o Moapa, ki te tihi o Pihika, e titiro iho ana ki te koraha.
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Na ka unga tangata a Iharaira ki a Hihona kingi o nga Amori, hei mea,
22 “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.”
Tukua atu ahau na tou whenua; e kore matou e peka ki nga mara, ki nga mara waina ranei; e kore matou e inu i te wai o nga puna: ka haere matou na te huanui o te kingi, kia pahemo ra ano ou rohe i a matou.
23 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.
Otiia kihai a Hihona i tuku i a Iharaira kia tika na tona wahi; na huihuia ana e Hihona tona iwi katoa, a puta mai ana ki te tu i a Iharaira ki te koraha, na ka haere ia ki Iahata: a ka tatau ia i a Iharaira.
24 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.
A patua iho ia e Iharaira ki te mata o te hoari, tangohia ana e ratou tona whenua, o Aranona atu a tae noa ki Iapoko, ki nga tama ra ano a Amona: he rohe hoki e kore e taea to nga tama a Amona.
25 Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them, including Heshbon and all its villages.
A riro ana i a Iharaira enei pa katoa: a nohoia ana e Iharaira nga pa katoa o nga Amori, a Hehepona, me ona pa ririki.
26 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.
He pa hoki a Hehepona no Hihona kingi o nga Amori; i whawhai hoki ia ki to mua kingi o Moapa, a tangohia ana e ia tona whenua katoa i tona ringa a tae noa ki Aronona.
27 That is why the poets say: “Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt; let the city of Sihon be restored.
Koia te hunga korero whakatauki ka mea ai, Haere mai ki Hehepona, kia hanga, kia whakaungia te pa o Hihoma:
28 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.
Kua puta atu hoki he ahi i Hehepona, he mura i te pa o Hihona: a pau ake a Ara o Moapa, me nga ariki o nga wahi tiketike o Aranona.
29 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.
Aue te mate mou, e Moapa! ka ngaro koe, e te iwi o Kemoho: kua hoatu e ia ana tama i rere morehu, me ana tamahine, hei pononga ma Hihona, ma te kingi o nga Amori.
30 But we have overthrown them; Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon. We demolished them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
I kopere atu matou ki a ratou; kua ngaro a Hehepona, tae noa ki Ripono, kua huna e matou tae noa ki Nopa e totoro atu nei ki Merepa.
31 So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
Na ka noho a Iharaira ki te whenua o nga Amori.
32 After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
A ka tono tangata a Mohi ki te tutei i Iatere, a ka riro i a ratou nga pa o reira, i pana hoki nga Amori e noho ana i reira.
33 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.
Na ka tahuri ratou, a ka haere ki runga na te ara o Pahana: na ko te putanga mai o Oka kingi o Pahana, ki te whakatutaki i a ratou, a ia, me tona iwi katoa ki te whawhai ki Eterei.
34 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.”
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kei wehi i a ia; kua hoatu hoki ia e ahau ki tou ringa, me tona iwi katoa, me tona whenua; a ka rite tau e mea ai ki a ia ki tau i mea ai ki a Hihona kingi o nga Amori i noho ra i Hehepona.
35 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.
Na patua iho ia e ratou, me ana tama, me tona iwi katoa, a kore noa e toe tetahi morehu ona: a tangohia ana e ratou tona whenua.
