Numbers 21
1 And when king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, had heard this, to wit, that Israel was come by the way of the spies, he fought against them, and overcoming them carried off their spoils.
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa mũthamaki Mũkaanani wa Aradi, ũrĩa watũũraga Negevu, aiguire atĩ Isiraeli nĩokagĩra njĩra ya Atharimu, agĩthiĩ agĩtharĩkĩra andũ a Isiraeli, na agĩtaha amwe ao.
2 But Israel binding himself by vow to the Lord, said: It thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, I will utterly destroy their cities.
Nao andũ Isiraeli makĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ harĩ Jehova makiuga atĩrĩ: “Ũngĩneana andũ aya moko-inĩ maitũ-rĩ, nĩtũkananga matũũra mao marĩa manene biũ.”
3 And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and delivered up the Chanaanite, and they cut them off and destroyed their cities: and they called the name of that place Horma, that is to say, Anathema.
Nake Jehova akĩigua ihooya rĩa andũ a Isiraeli na akĩneana andũ acio a Kaanani kũrĩ o. Nao makĩananga andũ acio biũ hamwe na matũũra mao; nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Horoma.
4 And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and labour:
Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩnyiita rũgendo kuuma Kĩrĩma kĩa Horu magereire njĩra ya gũthiĩ Iria Itune, nĩguo mathiũrũrũke bũrũri wa Edomu. No andũ acio magĩthethũka marĩ njĩra-inĩ;
5 And speaking against God and Moses, they said: Why didst thou bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food.
nao magĩũkĩrĩra Ngai o na Musa na mĩario makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwatũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri tũũke tũkuĩre gũkũ werũ-inĩ nĩkĩ? Gũkũ gũtirĩ irio! Na gũtirĩ maaĩ! O na nĩtũthũire irio ici itarĩ kĩene!”
6 Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.
Nake Jehova akĩmatũmĩra nyoka ciarĩ na thumu; ikĩrũma andũ a Isiraeli, na aingĩ ao magĩkua.
7 Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and thee: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
Andũ acio magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Musa makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwehirie rĩrĩa twaaririe tũgĩũkĩrĩra Jehova hamwe nawe. Hooya nĩguo Jehova atwehererie nyoka ici.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩhoera andũ acio.
8 And the Lord said to him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thondeka nyoka ũmĩcuurie gĩtugĩ igũrũ; mũndũ o wothe ũrĩĩrũmagwo-rĩ, aamĩrora nĩarĩtũũraga muoyo.”
9 Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩthondeka nyoka ya gĩcango, akĩmĩcuuria gĩtugĩ igũrũ. Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe aarũmwo nĩ nyoka na aarora nyoka ĩyo ya gĩcango, agatũũra muoyo.
10 And the children of Israel setting forwards camped in Oboth.
Andũ a Isiraeli makiumagara, magĩthiĩ makĩamba hema ciao Obothu.
11 And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east.
Ningĩ makiuma Obothu magĩthiĩ Iye-Abarimu, makĩamba hema ciao werũ-inĩ ũrĩa ũngʼethanĩire na Moabi mwena wa irathĩro.
12 And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared:
Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ na mbere, makĩamba hema ciao Kĩanda kĩa Zeredi.
13 Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites.
Moimagara kuuma kũu makĩamba hema kũrigania na Rũũĩ rwa Arinoni, kũu werũ ũrĩa ũthiĩte nginya bũrũri wa Aamori; nĩgũkorwo Rũũĩ rwa Arinoni nĩruo rwarĩ mũhaka wa Moabi na Aamori.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Amen.
Na nĩkĩo Ibuku rĩa Mbaara cia Jehova riugĩte atĩrĩ: “… Wahebu thĩinĩ wa Sufa, na mĩkuru, Arinoni
15 The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.
na igaragaro-inĩ cia mĩkuru ĩrĩa ithiĩte o nginya kũu Ari, na ĩgatwarana na mũhaka wa Moabi.”
16 When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ na mbere nginya kũu Biri, gĩthima-inĩ harĩa Jehova erire Musa atĩrĩ, “Cookereria andũ hamwe na nĩngũmahe maaĩ.”
17 Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Isiraeli makĩina rwĩmbo rũrũ: “Therũka maaĩ, wee gĩthima gĩkĩ! Inyuĩ na inyuĩ inai ũhoro wakĩo,
18 The well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana.
ũhoro wa gĩthima kĩrĩa anene menjete, kĩrĩa gĩathikũririo nĩ andũ arĩa marĩ igweta, andũ arĩa marĩ igweta marĩ na njũgũma cia ũnene na mĩthĩĩgi yao.” Ningĩ makiuma werũ-inĩ magĩthiĩ Matana,
19 From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.
kuuma Matana magĩthiĩ Nahalieli, kuuma Nahalieli magĩthiĩ Bamothu,
20 From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.
na kuuma Bamothu magĩthiĩ kĩanda kĩa Moabi, kũrĩa gacũmbĩrĩ ka Pisiga kangʼetheire werũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ kĩndũ.
21 And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying:
Isiraeli nĩatũmire andũ kũrĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori makamwĩre atĩrĩ:
22 I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king’s highway, till we be past thy borders.
“Twĩtĩkĩrie tũtuĩkanĩrie bũrũri wanyu. Tũtigũtoonya mĩgũnda yanyu ya irio, kana ya mĩthabibũ, kana tũnyue maaĩ kuuma gĩthima o na kĩmwe. Tũkũgerera njĩra ĩrĩa nene ya mũthamaki o nginya tũtuĩkanie bũrũri wanyu.”
23 And he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa, and fought against them.
No Mũthamaki Sihoni akĩgiria andũ a Isiraeli mahĩtũkĩre bũrũri wake. We onganirie mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, akiumagara agĩthiĩ werũ-inĩ agatharĩkĩre andũ a Isiraeli. Rĩrĩa aakinyire Jahazu-rĩ, akĩhũũrana na andũ a Isiraeli.
24 And he was slain by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jeboc, and to the confines of the children of Ammon: for the borders of the Ammonites, were kept with a strong garrison.
No andũ a Isiraeli makĩmooraga na hiũ cia njora na magĩtunya mũthamaki ũcio bũrũri wake kuuma Arinoni nginya Jaboku, no maakinyire o mũhaka-inĩ wa andũ a Amoni, tondũ warĩ mũirige na hinya mũno.
25 So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof.
Isiraeli agĩtunya Aamori matũũra mothe mao marĩa manene na magĩtũũra kuo, o hamwe na Heshiboni na tũtũũra tuothe tũrĩa twarigainie nakuo.
26 Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominions, as far as the Arnon.
Heshiboni nĩrĩo rĩarĩ itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa warũĩte na mũthamaki wa Moabi ũrĩa waathanaga mbere ĩyo, na akamũtunya bũrũri wake wothe o nginya Arinoni.
27 Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:
Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga aini a marebeta moige atĩrĩ: “Ũkaai Heshiboni nĩgeetha rĩakwo rĩngĩ; itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni nĩrĩcokererio.
28 A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon.
“Mwaki nĩwoimire kũu Heshiboni, rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũkiuma itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni. Ũkĩniina itũũra rĩa Ari Moabi, o atũũri a kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwa Arinoni.
29 Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites.
Kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro, wee Moabi-ĩ! Inyuĩ andũ a Kemoshu! Kaĩ mũrĩ aanange-ĩ. Nĩarekereirie ariũ ake magatuĩka eethari, o na airĩtu ake akĩmarekereria matahwo nĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori.
30 Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba.
“No ithuĩ nĩtũmangʼaũranĩtie; Heshiboni kwanangĩtwo guothe nginya o Diboni. Tũmamomorete tũgakinya Nofa, itũũra rĩrĩa rĩkuhanĩrĩirie na Medeba.”
31 So Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorrhite.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũũra bũrũri ũcio wa Aamori.
32 And Moses sent some to take a view of Jazer: and they took the villages of it, and conquered the inhabitants.
Thuutha wa Musa gũtũma andũ magathigaane Jazeri, andũ a Isiraeli magĩtunyana tũtũũra tũrĩa twarigiicĩirie itũũra rĩu, na makĩingata Aamori arĩa maarĩ kuo.
33 And they turned themselves, and went up by the way of Basan, and Og the king of Basan came against them with all his people, to fight in Edrai.
Ningĩ makĩgarũrũka, makĩambata na njĩra marorete Bashani, nake Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita makiumagara makahũũrane na Isiraeli kũu Edirei.
34 And the Lord said to Moses: Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people, and his country into thy hand: and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, the inhabitant of Hesebon.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ndũkamwĩtigĩre, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩmũneanĩte moko-inĩ maku, hamwe na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, o na bũrũri wake. Mwĩke o ũrĩa wekire Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa waathanaga Heshiboni.”
35 So they slew him also with his sons, and all his people, not letting any one escape, and they possessed his land.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩũraga Mũthamaki Ogu hamwe na ariũ ake, o na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, mategũtigia mũndũ o na ũmwe muoyo. Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩgwatĩra bũrũri wake.
