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.
А кад чу Хананеј, цар арадски, који живљаше на југу, да иде Израиљ путем којим идоше уходе, он се поби с њима и зароби их неколико.
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.”
Тада се Израиљ заветова Господу и рече: Ако даш овај народ мени у руке, до темеља ћу раскопати градове њихове.
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.
И услиши Господ глас Израиљев и даде му Хананеје, а он затре њих и градове њихове, и прозва оно место Орма.
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.
Потом пођоше од горе Ора к Црвеном мору обилазећи земљу едомску, и ослаби дух народу од пута.
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.”
И викаше народ на Бога и на Мојсија: Зашто нас изведосте из Мисира да изгинемо у овој пустињи? Јер нема ни хлеба ни воде, а овај се никакви хлеб већ огадио души нашој.
6 For this reason, the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, which wounded or killed many of them.
А Господ пусти на народ змије ватрене, које их уједаху, те помре много народа у Израиљу.
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.
Тада дође народ к Мојсију и рекоше: Згрешисмо што викасмо на Господа и на тебе; моли Бога нека уклони змије од нас. И Мојсије се помоли за народ.
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.”
И Господ рече Мојсију: Начини змију ватрену, и метни је на мотку, и кога уједе змија, нека погледа у њу, па ће оздравити.
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.
И начини Мојсије змију од бронзе, и метну је на мотку, и кога год уједе змија он погледа у змију од бронзе, и оздрави.
10 And the sons of Israel, setting out, made camp at Oboth.
Потом пођоше синови Израиљеви, и стадоше у логор у Овоту.
11 Having departed from there, they pitched their tents at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness, which looks out toward Moab, opposite the eastern region.
И из Овота отишавши стадоше у логор на брдима аваримским у пустињи која је према моавској с истока.
12 And moving from there, they arrived at the Torrent of Zared.
Оданде отишавши стадоше у логор у долини Зареду.
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.
И одатле отишавши стадоше у логор на брду на Арнону, који је у пустињи и излази од међе аморејске. Јер је Арнон међа моавска између Моаваца и Аморејаца.
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.”
Зато се каже у књизи о ратовима Господњим: На Вајева у Суфи и на потоке арнонске.
15 The stones of the torrents were bent, so that they might rest in Ar and lie back within the borders of the Moabites.
Јер ти потоци, који допиру до места Ара, теку покрај међе моавске.
16 Beyond that place appeared a well, about which the Lord said to Moses: “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
А отуда дођоше к Виру; то је студенац за који беше рекао Господ Мојсију: Скупи народ, и даћу им воде.
17 Then Israel sang this verse: “Let the well rise up.” They sang:
Тада пева Израиљ песму ову: Дижи се, студенче; припевајте га;
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.”
Студенче, који копаше кнезови, који ископаше поглавари народни с оним који постави закон, палицама својим. А из пустиње отидоше у Мантанаил,
19 They went from the wilderness to Mattanah, from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
А из Мантанаила, у Надил, а из Надила у Вамот,
20 from Bamoth, a valley in the region of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks out opposite the desert.
А из Вамота у долину која је у пољу моавском код горе Фазге и гледа у пустињу.
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, saying:
Тада посла Израиљ посланике к Сиону, цару аморејском говорећи:
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.”
Пусти да прођемо кроз твоју земљу, нећемо свртати ни у поље ни у виноград, нити ћемо пити воде из студенаца; ићи ћемо царским путем докле не пређемо међу твоју.
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.
Али не даде Сион Израиљу да прође кроз земљу његову, него сабра Сион сав народ свој, и изађе на Израиља у пустињу, и дође у Јасу, и поби се с Израиљем.
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.
Али га исече Израиљ оштрим мачем, и освоји земљу његову од Арона па до Јавока, до синова Амонових, јер тврда беше међа синова Амонових.
25 Therefore, Israel took all his cities and lived in the cities of the Amorite, namely, in Heshbon and its villages.
И узе Израиљ сва она места и насели се у свим градовима аморејским, у Есевону и у свим селима његовим.
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.
Јер Есевон беше град Сиона, цара аморејског, који беше први завојштио на цара моавског и беше му узео сву земљу његову до Арнона.
27 About this, it is said in the proverb: “Enter into Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be established and built.
Зато говоре у причи: Ходите у Есевон, да се сагради и подигне град Сионов.
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.
Јер огањ изађе из Есевона, пламен из града Сионовог, и спали Ар моавски и становнике на висини арнонској.
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.
Тешко теби, Моаве; пропао си; народе Хемосов; дао је синове своје који утекоше и кћери своје у ропство Сиону, цару аморејском.
30 Their yoke has been scattered from Heshbon even to Dibon. They have passed through, wearily, into Nophah, and as far as Medeba.”
Али их пострељасмо, пропаде Есевон до Девона, и потрсмо их до Нофе, која допире до Медеве.
31 And so Israel lived in the land of the Amorite.
И тако живи Израиљ у земљи аморејској.
32 And Moses sent some to explore Jazer. These captured its villages and possessed its inhabitants.
Потом посла Мојсије да уходе Јазир, и узеше села око њега, и изагнаше Аморејце који беху онде.
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.
Потом обративши се пођоше у Васан; и изиђе Ог, цар васански пред њих, он и сав народ његов на бој у Едрајин.
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.”
А Господ рече Мојсију: Не бој га се; јер сам га дао у твоје руке и сав народ његов и земљу његову; и учини му како си учинио Сиону, цару Аморејском који живљаше у Есевону.
35 Therefore, they struck him down also, with his sons, and all his people, even to utter destruction, and they possessed his land.
И побише га и синове његове и сав народ његов, да не оста ниједан, и освојише земљу његову.
