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.
quod cum audisset Chananeus rex Arad qui habitabat ad meridiem venisse scilicet Israhel per exploratorum viam pugnavit contra illum et victor existens duxit ex eo praedam
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.
at Israhel voto se Domino obligans ait si tradideris populum istum in manu mea delebo urbes eius
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.
exaudivitque Dominus preces Israhel et tradidit Chananeum quem ille interfecit subversis urbibus eius et vocavit nomen loci illius Horma id est anathema
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.
profecti sunt autem et de monte Or per viam quae ducit ad mare Rubrum ut circumirent terram Edom et taedere coepit populum itineris ac laboris
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.
locutusque contra Deum et Mosen ait cur eduxisti nos de Aegypto ut moreremur in solitudine deest panis non sunt aquae anima nostra iam nausiat super cibo isto levissimo
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.
quam ob rem misit Dominus in populum ignitos serpentes ad quorum plagas et mortes plurimorum
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.
venerunt ad Mosen atque dixerunt peccavimus quia locuti sumus contra Dominum et te ora ut tollat a nobis serpentes oravit Moses pro populo
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.
et locutus est Dominus ad eum fac serpentem et pone eum pro signo qui percussus aspexerit eum vivet
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.
fecit ergo Moses serpentem aeneum et posuit pro signo quem cum percussi aspicerent sanabantur
10 Then the children of Israel went on and put up their tents in Oboth.
profectique filii Israhel castrametati sunt in Oboth
11 And journeying on again from Oboth, they put up their tents in Iye-abarim, in the waste land before Moab looking east.
unde egressi fixere tentoria in Hieabarim in solitudine quae respicit Moab contra orientalem plagam
12 And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.
et inde moventes venerunt ad torrentem Zared
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:
quem relinquentes castrametati sunt contra Arnon quae est in deserto et prominet in finibus Amorrei siquidem Arnon terminus est Moab dividens Moabitas et Amorreos
14 As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;
unde dicitur in libro bellorum Domini sicut fecit in mari Rubro sic faciet in torrentibus Arnon
15 The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.
scopuli torrentium inclinati sunt ut requiescerent in Ar et recumberent in finibus Moabitarum
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.
ex eo loco apparuit puteus super quo locutus est Dominus ad Mosen congrega populum et dabo ei aquam
17 Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:
tunc cecinit Israhel carmen istud ascendat puteus concinebant
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:
puteus quem foderunt principes et paraverunt duces multitudinis in datore legis et in baculis suis de solitudine Matthana
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
de Matthana Nahalihel de Nahalihel in Bamoth
20 And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.
de Bamoth vallis est in regione Moab in vertice Phasga et quod respicit contra desertum
21 And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,
misit autem Israhel nuntios ad Seon regem Amorreorum dicens
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.
obsecro ut transire mihi liceat per terram tuam non declinabimus in agros et vineas non bibemus aquas ex puteis via regia gradiemur donec transeamus terminos tuos
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.
qui concedere noluit ut transiret Israhel per fines suos quin potius exercitu congregato egressus est obviam in desertum et venit in Iasa pugnavitque contra eum
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.
a quo percussus est in ore gladii et possessa est terra eius ab Arnon usque Iebboc et filios Ammon quia forti praesidio tenebantur termini Ammanitarum
25 And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.
tulit ergo Israhel omnes civitates eius et habitavit in urbibus Amorrei in Esebon scilicet et viculis eius
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.
urbs Esebon fuit regis Seon Amorrei qui pugnavit contra regem Moab et tulit omnem terram quae dicionis illius fuerat usque Arnon
27 So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:
idcirco dicitur in proverbio venite in Esebon aedificetur et construatur civitas Seon
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.
ignis egressus est de Esebon flamma de oppido Seon et devoravit Ar Moabitarum et habitatores excelsorum Arnon
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.
vae tibi Moab peristi popule Chamos dedit filios eius in fugam et filias in captivitatem regi Amorreorum Seon
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.
iugum ipsorum disperiit ab Esebon usque Dibon lassi pervenerunt in Nophe et usque Medaba
31 So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.
habitavit itaque Israhel in terra Amorrei
32 And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.
misitque Moses qui explorarent Iazer cuius ceperunt viculos et possederunt habitatores
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.
verteruntque se et ascenderunt per viam Basan et occurrit eis Og rex Basan cum omni populo suo pugnaturus in Edrai
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.
dixitque Dominus ad Mosen ne timeas eum quia in manu tua tradidi illum et omnem populum ac terram eius faciesque illi sicut fecisti Seon regi Amorreorum habitatori Esebon
35 So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.
percusserunt igitur et hunc cum filiis suis universumque populum eius usque ad internicionem et possederunt terram illius
