Numbers 21
1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, who was living toward the south, had heard this, namely, that Israel had arrived by the way of spies, he fought against them. And proving to be the victor, he led away prey from them.
Ie jinanji’ i Arade Mpanjaka nte-Kanàne nimoneñe Atimo añe te niary mb’e Atarime mb’eo t’Israele, le nialy am’ Israele re vaho nendese’e am-bahotse ty ila’e.
2 But Israel, obliging himself by a vow to the Lord, said: “If you deliver this people into my hand, I will wipe away their cities.”
Aa le nifanta am’ Iehovà t’Israele nanao ty hoe, Naho toe hasese’o am-pità’ay ondaty rezao le fonga harotsa’ay o rova’eo.
3 And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and he delivered the Canaanite, whom they put to death, overthrowing his cities. And they called the name of that place Hormah, that is, Anathema.
Nihaoñe’ Iehovà ty fiarañanaña’ Israele le nasese’e ama’e o nte-Kanàneo; fonga finongo’ iareo o rova’eo; vaho natao Kormà i taney.
4 Then they set out from mount Hor, by the way that leads to the Red Sea, to circle around the land of Edom. And the people began to tire of their journey and hardships.
Niavotse boak’ am-Bohi-Hore eo le nionjoñe mb’ an-dalañe migodañe mb’amy Ria-Binday mb’ eo, hiariañe i tane’ Edomey; fe nahangoae ondatio i liay.
5 And speaking against God and Moses, they said: “Why did you lead us away from Egypt, so as to die in the wilderness? Bread is lacking; there are no waters. Our soul is now nauseous over this very light food.”
Le nañinje an’ Andrianañahare naho i Mosè ondatio ami’ ty hoe: Aa vaho akore t’ie nindesa’o niakatse i Mitsraime hivetrake am-patrambey atoy, ie tsy ama’ mahakama ndra rano naho mampangorý anay ty mofo maivañe toy.
6 For this reason, the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, which wounded or killed many of them.
Aa le nañiraha’ Iehovà merem-boreke ty añivo’ ondatio ze nañehetse ondaty vaho maro amo ana’ Israeleo ty nifitake.
7 And so they went to Moses, and they said: “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray, so that he may take away these serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.
Aa le nimb’ amy Mosè mb’eo ondatio nanao ty hoe: Nandilatse ami’ ty nañinjea’ay azo naho Iehovà; ihalalio am’Iehovà ty hanintaha’e o mereñeo. Aa le nihalaly ho a ondatio t’i Mosè.
8 And the Lord said to him: “Make a bronze serpent, and place it as a sign. Whoever, having been struck, gazes upon it, shall live.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Itseneo sare merem-boreke le asampezo ami’ty bodan-katae; le ho veloñe ze hene ondaty nihehereñe, mitalahatse ama’e.
9 Therefore, Moses made a bronze serpent, and he placed it as a sign. When those who had been struck gazed upon it, they were healed.
Aa le namboare’ i Mosè an-torisìke i mereñey naho nasampe’e an-katae, aa naho nihehetse ondaty ty mereñe, ie nañente i mereñe torisìkey le niveloñe.
10 And the sons of Israel, setting out, made camp at Oboth.
Nionjoñe amy zao o ana’ Israeleo le nitobe e Obote.
11 Having departed from there, they pitched their tents at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness, which looks out toward Moab, opposite the eastern region.
Niavota’ iareo ty Obote vaho nitobe e Iai’haabarime, am-patrambey atiñana’ i Moabe mb’ am-panjirihan’ andro mb’eo.
12 And moving from there, they arrived at the Torrent of Zared.
Nionjoñe boak’ ao iereo le nitobe am-Bavatane’ i Zerede ao.
13 Having left that place behind, they then made camp opposite Arnon, which is in the desert, and which juts out at the borders of the Amorite. For certainly Arnon is at the limit of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorites.
Hirik’ ao iereo niavotse vaho nitobe alafe’ i Arnone amy fatrambey mifototse an-tane’ o nte-Emoreoy; amy te efe-tane’ i Moabe i Arnoney, mañefetse i Moabe amo nte-Emoreo.
14 About this place, it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: “As he did at the Red Sea, so will he do at the Torrents of Arnon.”
Izay ty nanoeñe amo Boke’ o Ali’ Iehovàoo ty hoe: Oahebe e Sofà, o toraha’ i Arnoneo,
15 The stones of the torrents were bent, so that they might rest in Ar and lie back within the borders of the Moabites.
naho ty teva’ o torahañeo ze mivariñe mb’an toe’ i Are, naho miefetse amy Moabe.
16 Beyond that place appeared a well, about which the Lord said to Moses: “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
Ie hirik’ ao nimb’e Bire mb’eo, i vovoñe nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosèy ty hoe, Atontono ondatio hanjotsoako rano.
17 Then Israel sang this verse: “Let the well rise up.” They sang:
Le hoe ty nisaboe’ Israele: Mivoaña ry vovoñeo, isabo!
18 “The well, the leaders dug it, and the commanders of the multitude prepared it, at the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staffs.”
ty vovo nalente’ o talèo, hinali’ ty roandria’ ondatio, an-kobaiñe, an-tsara’ i Mpandily. Ie boak’am-patrambey ao le nañavelo pak’e Matanà,
19 They went from the wilderness to Mattanah, from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
le boake Matanà mbe Mahaliele mb’eo, le hirike Mahaliele mb’e Bamote mb’eo,
20 from Bamoth, a valley in the region of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks out opposite the desert.
vaho boake Bamote am-bavatane’ i Moabe mb’ an-dengo’ i Pisgà mitolike mb’amy ratraratray añe.
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, saying:
Le nañitrike mb’amy Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Emoreo t’Israele, nanao ty hoe:
22 “I beg you to permit me to cross through your land. We will not turn aside into the fields or the vineyards. We will not drink waters from the wells. We will travel by the royal way, until we have passed your borders.”
Adono hiranga ty tane’o zahay. Tsy hivìke mb’ an-teteke ndra mb’ an-tane-bahe; tsy hikama rano am-bovoñe. Hañorike i Karanangam-Panjakay avao ampara’ te losore’ay ty efe-tane’o.
23 And he was not willing to allow Israel to cross through his borders. But instead, gathering an army, he went out to meet them in the desert, and he arrived at Jahaz and fought against them.
F’ie tsy napo’ i Sihone hiranga i efe’ey. Aa le natonto’ i Sihone ondati’e iabio vaho niavotse haname Israele am-patram-bey ey, le nivotrake e Iàhatse re naialy am’ Israele.
24 And he was struck down by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from Arnon, even to Jabbok and the sons of Ammon. For the borders of the Ammonites were held by a strong fortress.
Zinevo’ Israele an-delam-pibara vaho tinava’e i tane’ey boak’ amy Arnoney pak’ ami’ ty Iaboke naho pak’ amo nte-Amoneo amy te fatratse ty efe-tane’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
25 Therefore, Israel took all his cities and lived in the cities of the Amorite, namely, in Heshbon and its villages.
Aa le fonga rinambe’ Israele o rova’eo vaho songa nimoneña’ Israele o rova’ o nte-Emoreo, e Khesbone naho o hene ana-drova’eo.
26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who fought against the king of Moab. And he took all the land, which had been under his sovereignty, as far as Arnon.
Nirova’ i Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Emoreo ty Khesbone; niazo’e te nialy amy mpanjaka’ i Moabey taoloy vaho fonga rinambe’e i tane’e pak’amy Arnoney.
27 About this, it is said in the proverb: “Enter into Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be established and built.
Aa le hoe ty onin-tsaontsin-droae: Antao mb’e Khesbone mb’eo, hamboatse naho hañafatratse ty rova’ i Sihone
28 A fire has gone forth from Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon, and it has devoured Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the heights of Arnon.
Fa niakatse i Kesobone ty afo, lel’ afo boak’ an-drova’ i Sihone, nagodra’e i Are’ i Moabey o talen-kaboa’ i Arnoneo.
29 Woe to you, Moab! You are perishing, O people of Chemosh. He gave flight to his sons, and he gave the daughters into captivity, to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
Hekoheko ama’o ry Moabe, Rinotsake nahareo nte-Kemose: napo’e ho gike o ana-dahi’eo, naho o anak’ampela’eo ho mpirohi’ i Sihone, mpanjaka’ i Emorey.
30 Their yoke has been scattered from Heshbon even to Dibon. They have passed through, wearily, into Nophah, and as far as Medeba.”
Linihi’ay ambane iereo: Nihomake t’i Khesbone pak’e Dibone, le natsafe’ay pak’e Nofà, naho pak’e Medebà.
31 And so Israel lived in the land of the Amorite.
Aa le nimoneñe an-tane’ Emore ao t’Israele.
32 And Moses sent some to explore Jazer. These captured its villages and possessed its inhabitants.
Nampihitrife’ i Mosè ty hitingañe Ia’azere le rinambe’e o tanà’eo vaho nanoe’e soike ze nte-Emore tao.
33 And they turned themselves and ascended, along the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, met them with all his people, to fight at Edrei.
Nitsile iereo, nañavelo an-dalañe mb’e Basane mb’eo; le niavotse hifanalaka am’iareo t’i Oge mpanjaka’ i Basane rekets’ ondati’e iabio, hañotakotake e Edrey.
34 And the Lord said to Moses: “Do not be afraid of him. For I have delivered him, and all his people, as well as his land, into your hand. And you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, the inhabitant of Heshbon.”
Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ko ihembaña’o, fa natoloko am-pità’o rekets’ ondati’e iabio naho i tane’ey. Ano ama’e hambañe amy nanoa’o amy Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Emore nimpifehe’ i Khesboneoy.
35 Therefore, they struck him down also, with his sons, and all his people, even to utter destruction, and they possessed his land.
Aa le zinevo’ iareo naho o ana-dahi’eo naho ondati’eo, ampara t’ie tsy aman-tsengaha’e vaho rinambe’iereo i tane’ey.
