Numbers 21
1 The Canaanite king of Arad who lived in the Negev learned that the Israelites were approaching on the road to Atharim. He went and attacked Israel and took some of them prisoners.
И услыша Хананей царь Арадский живый при пустыни, яко прииде Израиль путем Афаримским, и ратова противу Израиля, и взя от них плен.
2 So Israel made a solemn promise to the Lord: “If you hand these people over to us, we pledge to completely destroy their towns.”
И обещася Израиль обетом Господу и рече: аще мне предаси люди сия подручны, погублю их и грады их.
3 The Lord responded to their appeal and handed over the Canaanites to them. The Israelites completely destroyed them and their towns, and named the place Hormah.
И услыша Господь глас Израилев и предаде Хананеа подручна ему: и опустоши его и грады его, и прозва има месту тому Запустение.
4 The Israelites left Mount Hor by the road leading to the Red Sea so they could avoid traveling through the country of Edom. But the people became bad-tempered on the way
И воздвигшеся от Ора горы путем иже к морю Чермному, обыдоша землю Едомлю: и малодушествоваша людие на пути,
5 and made complaints against God and against Moses, saying, “Why did you lead us out of Egypt to die in the desert? We don't have bread or water, and we hate this awful 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 So the Lord sent poisonous snakes to attack them, and many Israelites were bitten and died.
И посла Господь на люди змиев умерщвляющих, и угрызаху людий: и умроша люди мнози от сынов Израилевых.
7 The people went to see Moses and told him, “We were wrong to make complaints against the Lord and against you. Please pray to the Lord to get rid of the snakes from us.” Moses prayed to the Lord on their behalf.
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 The Lord told Moses, “Make a model of a snake and put it on a pole. When anyone who has been bitten looks at it, they will 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 Moses made a snake out of bronze and put it on a pole. Those who looked at it did live.
И сотвори Моисей змию медяну и постави ю на знамени: и бысть егда угрызаше змия человека, и взираше на змию медяну, и оживаше.
10 The Israelites left and camped at Oboth.
И воздвигошася сынове Израилевы, и ополчишася во Овофе:
11 Then they moved on from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the desert on the east side of Moab.
и воздвигшеся от Овофа, ополчишася во Ахалгеи об ону страну пустыни, яже есть пред лицем Моавитским, на восток солнца:
12 They left there and camped in the Valley of Zered.
и оттуду воздвигошася, и ополчишася в дебри Заред:
13 Then they moved on from there and camped on the far side of the Arnon River, in the desert near Amorite territory. The Arnon River is the border between the Moab 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 That's why the Book of the Wars of the Lord refers to “the town of Waheb in Suphah and the canyon of the Arnon,
Сего ради глаголется в книзе брань Господня: Зоову попали, и потоки Арнони,
15 the canyon slopes that reach the village of Ar that lies on the border with Moab.”
и потоки устрои в селение Ир, и прилежит пределом Моавлим.
16 From there they moved on to Beer, the well where the Lord told Moses, “Have the people gather together so I can 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 the Israelites sang this song: “Pour out water, well! Everyone of you sing to it!
Тогда воспе Израиль песнь сию у кладязя: начинайте ему:
18 The tribal chiefs dug the well; yes the leaders of the people dug the well with their rods of authority and their walking sticks.” The Israelites left the desert and carried on to Mattanah.
кладязь, ископаша его князи, изсекоша его царие язычестии во царствии их, внегда обладати ими. И от кладязя (воздвигошася) в Манфанаил:
19 From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
и от Манфанаила в Наадиил, и от Наадиила в Вамоф:
20 and from Bamoth to the valley in the territory of Moab where the top of Mount Pisgah looks down on the wastelands.
и от Вамофа в Напин, иже есть на поли Моавли, от верха Изсеченаго, зрящаго пред лице пустыни.
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, with the following request:
И посла Моисей послы к Сиону царю Аморрейску, словесы мирными глаголя:
22 “Please allow us to travel through your country. We won't cross any of your fields or vineyards, or drink water from any of your wells. We will stay on the King's Highway until we have passed through your country.”
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 But Sihon refused to allow the Israelites to travel through his territory. Instead, he called out his whole army and went out to meet the Israelites head-on in the desert. When he arrived at Jahaz, he attacked the Israelites.
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 The Israelites defeated them, killing them with their swords. They took over his land from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River —but only as far as the border of the Ammonites, because it was well defended.
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 The Israelites conquered all the Amorite towns and took them over, including Heshbon and its surrounding 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 capital of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the previous king of Moab and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon River.
есть бо Есевон град Сиона царя Аморрейска: и сей повоева царя Моавля прежде и взя всю землю его от Ароира даже до Арнона.
27 That's why the old songwriters wrote: “Come to Heshbon and have it be rebuilt; restore the town of Sihon!
Сего ради рекут приточницы: приидите во Есевон, да соградится и созиждется град Сион:
28 For a fire blazed out from Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon. It burned up Ar in Moab where the rulers live on the high places of Arnon.
яко огнь изыде от Есевона и пламень от града Сиона, и пояде даже до Моава, и пожре столпы Арнонския:
29 What a disaster you face, Moab! You are all going to die, people of Chemosh! You handed over your sons as exiles and your daughters as prisoners to Sihon, king of the Amorites.
горе тебе, Моаве, погибосте, людие Хамосовы: продани быша сынове их в заключение и дщери их пленницы царю Аморрейскому Сиону:
30 But now we have defeated the Amorites! Heshbon's rule has been destroyed all the way to Dibon. We wiped them out all the way to Nophah and on to Medeba.”
и семя их погибнет, Есевон даже до Девона: и жены их еще разожгоша огнь на Моава.
31 The Israelites occupied the country of the Amorites.
Вселися же Израиль во вся грады Аморрейски:
32 Moses sent men to explore Jazer. The Israelites conquered its surrounding villages and expelled the Amorites living there.
и посла Моисей соглядати Иазира: и взяша его и села его, и изгнаша Аморреа живущаго тамо:
33 Then they continued on the road towards Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, led his whole army out to meet them head on, and fought them at Edrei.
и возвратившеся, приидоша путем в Васан. И изыде Ог, царь Васанский, противу им и вси людие его на брань во Едраин.
34 The Lord told Moses, “You don't need to be afraid of him, because I have handed him over to you, along with all his people and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled from 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 So they killed Og, his sons, and all his army. Nobody survived, and the Israelites took over his country.
И порази его и сыны его и вся люди его, даже не оста в них живый: и наследиша землю его.
