Numbers 21
1 And it came to the ears of the Canaanite, the king of Arad, living in the South, that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, and he came out against them and took some of them prisoners.
Mgbe eze Kenan, bụ Arad, onye bi na Negev nụrụ na ndị Izrel na-agbaso ụzọ ahụ na-aga obodo Atarim, ọ chịkọtara ndị agha ya, pụkwuru ndị Izrel, lụso ha agha. Ọ dọtara ụfọdụ nʼime ha nʼagha.
2 Then Israel made an oath to the Lord, and said, If you will give up this people into my hands, then I will send complete destruction on all their towns.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Izrel kwere Onyenwe anyị nkwa sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-enyere anyị aka imeri eze Arad na ndị ya, anyị ga-ebibi obodo ha niile kpamkpam.”
3 And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them; and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.
Onyenwe anyị ṅara ntị nʼarịrịọ ha, nyere ha aka imeri ndị Kenan ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel bibiri obodo ha niile, na ndị niile bi nʼime ya. Ya mere, aha a kpọrọ ebe ahụ niile bụ Homa.
4 Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.
Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel sitere nʼugwu Hor bilie ije ha, si ụzọ gawara Osimiri Uhie, ka ha nwee ike gaa gburugburu ala ndị Edọm. Ma ndị Izrel enweghị ntachiobi oge niile ha nọ nʼije a.
5 And crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.
Ha kwuru okwu megide Chineke na Mosis sị, “Gịnị mere i ji site nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta anyị ka anyị nwụsịa nʼọzara a? Lee na nri ọbụla adịghị nʼebe a, mmiri ọṅụṅụ adịghịkwa, ike iri mánà a na-enweghị isi agwụkwala anyị.”
6 Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị zitere agwọ ọjọọ na-ata ata nʼetiti ha. Agwọ ndị a tagbukwara ọtụtụ nʼime ụmụ Izrel.
7 Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Izrel bịakwutere Mosis sị ya, “Anyị emehiela, nʼihi na anyị ekwuluola Onyenwe anyị, kwulukwaa gị onwe gị. Biko rịọrọ anyị Onyenwe anyị ka o wezugara anyị agwọ ọjọọ ndị a.” Mosis rịọrọ arịrịọ nʼihi ha.
8 And the Lord said to Moses, Make an image of a snake and put it on a rod, and anyone who has been wounded by the snakes, looking on it will be made well.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Kpụọ otu agwọ yiri agwọ ndị a. Kwụba ya nʼọnụ ogologo osisi nke ị ga-amanye nʼala ebe mmadụ niile ga-ahụ ya anya. Onye ọbụla agwọ ọjọọ a tara ga-adị ndụ ma ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-ewelite anya ya elu lekwasị agwọ ahụ ị kwụbara nʼelu osisi ahụ.”
9 So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod; and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.
Ya mere, Mosis ji bronz kpụta agwọ yiri otu nʼime agwọ ndị ahụ, tinye ya nʼọnụ osisi dị ogologo. Onye ọbụla kwa agwọ ahụ tara nke welitere anya ya elu lee agwọ bronz ahụ anya, dịkwara ndụ.
10 Then the children of Israel went on and put up their tents in Oboth.
Ụmụ Izrel biliri njem, manye ụlọ ikwu ha na Obot.
11 And journeying on again from Oboth, they put up their tents in Iye-abarim, in the waste land before Moab looking east.
Ha sikwa nʼObot bilie njem, maa ụlọ ikwu ha na Iye Abarim, nʼọzara ahụ nke chere ihu nʼobodo Moab, nʼụzọ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
12 And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.
Ha si nʼebe ahụ bilie njem, manye ụlọ ikwu ha na Ndagwurugwu Zered.
13 From there they went on and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon, which is on the waste land at the edge of the land of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the line of division between Moab and the Amorites:
Ha sitekwara nʼebe ahụ bilie njem, maa ụlọ ikwu ha nʼofe iyi Anọn nke dị nʼọzara ruru nʼoke ala ndị Amọrait. Iyi Anọn bụ oke ala Moab, nʼetiti ndị Moab na ndị Amọrait.
14 As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;
Nʼihi nke a, nʼAkwụkwọ Agha dị iche iche nke Onyenwe anyị na-asị, “Waheb nʼime Sufa ya na ndagwurugwu niile Anọn
15 The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.
na mgbadata ndagwurugwu ndị ahụ nke gbasapụrụ ruo nʼebe Ar dị, nke tọgbọrọ nʼoke ala Moab.”
16 From there they went on to Beer, the water-spring of which the Lord said to Moses, Make the people come together and I will give them water.
Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel niile biliri njem bịarute Bịa bụ nʼolulu mmiri ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis iwu sị, “Kpọkọtaa ndị Izrel niile, nʼihi na m na-aga inye ha mmiri.”
17 Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:
Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel bụrụ abụ a. “Sọpụta gị olulu mmiri! Bụọnụ abụ banyere mmiri a!
18 The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:
Olulu mmiri ụmụ ndị eze gwuru nke ndị ndu anyị doziri. Mkpara eze ha na mkpara ha, ka ha ji gwuo ya.” Emesịa, ha hapụrụ ọzara ahụ, gaa nʼihu ruo nʼobodo Matana.
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
Ha si Matana jeruo Nahaliel, si Nahaliel jeruo Bamot.
20 And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.
Sitekwa Bamot rute na ndagwurugwu ahụ dị nʼọhịa Moab, ruo nʼugwu Pisga, nke chere ihu nʼala ahụ tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
21 And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,
Ndị Izrel zipụrụ ndị ozi ka ha jekwuru Saịhọn, eze ndị Amọrait, sị ya,
22 Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.
“Biko, kwere ka anyị site nʼobodo gị gafee. Anyị agaghị atụgharị banye nʼime ala ubi gị maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị, maọbụ ṅụọ mmiri site nʼolulu mmiri ọbụla dị nʼala gị. Anyị ga-eje nʼokporoụzọ eze tutu ruo mgbe anyị ga-agabiga oke ala gị.”
23 And Sihon would not let Israel go through his land; but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.
Ma Saịhọn ekweghị na ụmụ Izrel ga-esi nʼoke ala ya gafee. Ọ chịkọtara ndị agha ya niile, zọpụ ije ibu agha megide ndị Izrel nʼime ọzara ahụ. Mgbe o rutere Jehaz, ọ lụsoro Izrel agha.
24 But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.
Ma Izrel jiri mma agha gbuo ya. Nwetara onwe ha ala ya, site nʼiyi Anọn ruo nʼiyi Jabọk, gamiekwa rute nʼoke ala ha na ndị Amọn, ha kwụsịrị nʼihi nʼoke ala ndị Amọn siri ike karịa.
25 And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.
Ndị Izrel lụgburu obodo niile nke ndị Amọrait bichie nʼime ha, tinyere Heshbọn na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu.
26 For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.
Heshbọn bụ isi obodo Saịhọn, eze ndị Amọrait onye busoro eze naara achị Moab agha dọta ala ya niile nʼagha ruo Anọn.
27 So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:
Ọ bụ nke a mere ndị na-arọ abụ ji kwuo sị, “Bịa na Heshbọn ka e wukwaa ya, ka e mee ka isi obodo eze Saịhọn guzosie ike.
28 For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon: for the destruction of Ar in Moab, and the lords of the high places of the Arnon.
“Nʼihi na ọkụ esitela na Heshbọn pụọ. Ire ọkụ esitela nʼobodo ukwu Saịhọn, rechapụ obodo Ar, nke dị na Moab, ndị nwe ebe niile dị elu nke Anọn.
29 Sorrow is yours, O Moab! Destruction is your fate, O people of Chemosh: his sons have gone in flight, and his daughters are prisoners, in the hands of Sihon, king of the Amorites.
Ahụhụ dịrị gị Moab! Ndị a lara nʼiyi ka unu bụ, unu ndị Kemosh. Ụmụ ya ndị ikom aghọọla ndị na-enweghị ebe obibi. A dọtala ụmụ ndị inyom nʼagha, nye Saịhọn eze ndị Amọrait.
30 They are wounded with our arrows; destruction has come on Heshbon, even to Dibon; and we have made the land waste as far as Nophah, stretching out to Medeba.
“Ma anyị ebibiela ha, bibie Heshbọn ruo rịị na Dibọn, bibie ha ruo Nofa, ruokwa rịị Medeba.”
31 So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.
Ya mere, ụmụ Izrel bichiri nʼala ndị Amọrait.
32 And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.
Emesịa, Mosis zipụrụ ndị nnyopụta ka ha ga nyochaa Jeza. Ụmụ Izrel tigburu obodo niile dị gburugburu ya chụpụkwa ndị Amọrait bi nʼebe ahụ.
33 Then turning they went up by the way of Bashan; and Og, king of Bashan, went out against them with all his people, to the fight at Edrei.
Mgbe ahụ, ha chigharịrị gbagoo nʼụzọ gawara Bashan. Ma Ọg, eze Bashan, na ndị agha ya niile biliri chịrị agha pụọ izute ha na Edrei.
34 And the Lord said to Moses, Have no fear of him: for I have given him up into your hands, with all his people and his land; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, at Heshbon.
Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu, sị, “Atụla ya egwu nʼihi na ewerela m ya na ndị agha ya niile, na ala ya, nyefee gị nʼaka. Mee ya ihe i mere Saịhọn eze ndị Amọrait onyeisi obodo ya bụ Heshbọn.”
35 So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.
Ya mere, ha gburu ya, tinyere ụmụ ya na ndị agha ya niile, na-ahapụghị onye ọbụla ndụ nye ha. Ha nwetakwara ala ha, biri nʼime ya.
