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.
И услыша Хананей царь Арадский живый при пустыни, яко прииде Израиль путем Афаримским, и ратова противу Израиля, и взя от них плен.
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.”
И обещася Израиль обетом Господу и рече: аще мне предаси люди сия подручны, погублю их и грады их.
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 услыша Господь глас Израилев и предаде Хананеа подручна ему: и опустоши его и грады его, и прозва има месту тому Запустение.
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.
И воздвигшеся от Ора горы путем иже к морю Чермному, обыдоша землю Едомлю: и малодушествоваша людие на пути,
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 роптаху людие на Бога и на Моисеа, глаголюще: вскую извел еси ны из Египта убити нас в пустыни, яко несть хлеба, ни воды? И душа наша негодует о хлебе сем тщем.
6 For this reason, the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, which wounded or killed many of them.
И посла Господь на люди змиев умерщвляющих, и угрызаху людий: и умроша люди мнози от сынов Израилевых.
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.
И пришедше людие к Моисеови глаголаша: согрешихом, яко роптахом на Господа и на тя: помолися убо ко Господу, да отженет от нас змии. И помолися Моисей ко Господу о людех.
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 рече Господь к Моисею: сотвори себе змию (медяну) и положи ю на знамя: и будет аще угрызет змия человека, всяк угрызенный видев ю жив будет.
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 сотвори Моисей змию медяну и постави ю на знамени: и бысть егда угрызаше змия человека, и взираше на змию медяну, и оживаше.
10 And the sons of Israel, setting out, made camp at Oboth.
И воздвигошася сынове Израилевы, и ополчишася во Овофе:
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 воздвигшеся от Овофа, ополчишася во Ахалгеи об ону страну пустыни, яже есть пред лицем Моавитским, на восток солнца:
12 And moving from there, they arrived at the Torrent of Zared.
и оттуду воздвигошася, и ополчишася в дебри Заред:
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 оттуду воздвигшеся, ополчишася об ону страну Арнона в пустыни, яже исходит от предел Аморрейских: есть бо Арнон предел Моавль между Моавом и между Аморреом.
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.”
Сего ради глаголется в книзе брань Господня: Зоову попали, и потоки Арнони,
15 The stones of the torrents were bent, so that they might rest in Ar and lie back within the borders of the Moabites.
и потоки устрои в селение Ир, и прилежит пределом Моавлим.
16 Beyond that place appeared a well, about which the Lord said to Moses: “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
И оттуду (воздвигошася) ко Кладязю: сей есть кладязь, о немже рече Господь к Моисею: собери люди, и дам им воду пити.
17 Then Israel sang this verse: “Let the well rise up.” They sang:
Тогда воспе Израиль песнь сию у кладязя: начинайте ему:
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.”
кладязь, ископаша его князи, изсекоша его царие язычестии во царствии их, внегда обладати ими. И от кладязя (воздвигошася) в Манфанаил:
19 They went from the wilderness to Mattanah, from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
и от Манфанаила в Наадиил, и от Наадиила в Вамоф:
20 from Bamoth, a valley in the region of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks out opposite the desert.
и от Вамофа в Напин, иже есть на поли Моавли, от верха Изсеченаго, зрящаго пред лице пустыни.
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, saying:
И посла Моисей послы к Сиону царю Аморрейску, словесы мирными глаголя:
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.”
да пройдем сквозе землю твою, путем пойдем: не уклонимся ни на села, ни на винограды, не испием воды от кладязь твоих: путем царским пойдем, дондеже пройдем пределы твоя.
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.
И не даде Сион Израилю проити сквозе пределы своя: и собра Сион вся люди своя, и изыде ополчитися на Израиля в пустыню: и прииде во Иассан, и ополчися на Израиля.
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.
И порази его Израиль убийством меча, и обладаше землею его от Арнона до Иавока, даже до сынов Амманих: яко Иазир пределы сынов Амманих суть.
25 Therefore, Israel took all his cities and lived in the cities of the Amorite, namely, in Heshbon and its villages.
И взя Израиль вся грады сия: и вселися Израиль во всех градех Аморрейских, во Есевоне и во всех подлежащих ему:
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.
есть бо Есевон град Сиона царя Аморрейска: и сей повоева царя Моавля прежде и взя всю землю его от Ароира даже до Арнона.
27 About this, it is said in the proverb: “Enter into Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be established and built.
Сего ради рекут приточницы: приидите во Есевон, да соградится и созиждется град Сион:
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.
яко огнь изыде от Есевона и пламень от града Сиона, и пояде даже до Моава, и пожре столпы Арнонския:
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.
горе тебе, Моаве, погибосте, людие Хамосовы: продани быша сынове их в заключение и дщери их пленницы царю Аморрейскому Сиону:
30 Their yoke has been scattered from Heshbon even to Dibon. They have passed through, wearily, into Nophah, and as far as Medeba.”
и семя их погибнет, Есевон даже до Девона: и жены их еще разожгоша огнь на Моава.
31 And so Israel lived in the land of the Amorite.
Вселися же Израиль во вся грады Аморрейски:
32 And Moses sent some to explore Jazer. These captured its villages and possessed its inhabitants.
и посла Моисей соглядати Иазира: и взяша его и села его, и изгнаша Аморреа живущаго тамо:
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.
и возвратившеся, приидоша путем в Васан. И изыде Ог, царь Васанский, противу им и вси людие его на брань во Едраин.
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.”
И рече Господь к Моисею: не убойся его, яко в руце твои предах его и вся люди его и всю землю его: и сотвориши ему, якоже сотворил еси Сиону царю Аморрейску, иже живяше во Есевоне.
35 Therefore, they struck him down also, with his sons, and all his people, even to utter destruction, and they possessed his land.
И порази его и сыны его и вся люди его, даже не оста в них живый: и наследиша землю его.
