Numbers 21
1 When King Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt toward the South, heard tel that Israel came by the way of the spies, then fought hee against Israel, and tooke of them prysoners.
Kralj Arada, Kanaanac koji je živio u Negebu, ču da Izrael dolazi Atarimskim putem, pa navali na Izraela i neke njegove zarobi.
2 So Israel vowed a vowe vnto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliuer and giue this people into mine hand, then I wil vtterly destroy their cities.
Tada se Izrael ovako zavjetova Jahvi: “Ako u moje ruke izručiš ovaj narod, potpuno ću uništiti njegove gradove.”
3 And the Lord heard the voyce of Israel, and deliuered them the Canaanites: and they vtterly destroied them and their cities, and called ye name of the place Hormah.
Jahve usliša glas Izraela i predade mu Kanaance. A Izrael njih i njihove gradove 'heremom' uništi. Stoga se ono mjesto prozva Horma.
4 After, they departed from the mount Hor by the way of the red Sea, to compasse the land of Edom: and the people were sore grieued because of the way.
Od brda Hora zapute se prema Crvenom moru da zaobiđu zemlju edomsku. Narod putem postane nestrpljiv.
5 And the people spake against God and against Moses, saying, Wherefore haue ye brought vs out of Egypt, to die in the wildernesse? for here is neither bread nor water, and our soule lotheth this light bread.
I počne govoriti i protiv Boga i protiv Mojsija: “Zašto nas izvedoste iz Egipta da pomremo u ovoj pustinji? Nema kruha, nema vode, a to bijedno jelo već se ogadilo dušama našim.”
6 Wherefore the Lord sent fierie serpents among ye people, which stung the people: so that many of the people of Israel died.
Onda Jahve pošalje na narod ljute zmije; ujedale ih one, tako te pomrije mnogo naroda u Izraelu.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses and said, We haue sinned: for wee haue spoken against the Lord, and against thee: pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from vs: and Moses prayed for the people.
Dođe narod k Mojsiju pa reče: “Sagriješili samo kad smo govorili protiv Jahve i protiv tebe. Pomoli se Jahvi da ukloni zmije od nas!” Mojsije se pomoli za narod,
8 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it vp for a signe, that as many as are bitten, may looke vpon it, and liue.
i Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Napravi otrovnicu i stavi je na stup: tko god bude ujeden, ostat će na životu ako je pogleda.”
9 So Moses made a serpent of brasse, and set it vp for a signe: and when a serpent had bitten a man, then he looked to the serpent of brasse, and liued.
Mojsije napravi zmiju od mjedi i postavi je na stup. Kad bi koga ujela ljutica, pogledao bi u mjedenu zmiju i ozdravio.
10 And ye children of Israel departed thence, and pitched in Oboth.
Pođu Izraelci i utabore se u Obotu.
11 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in lie-abarim, in the wildernesse, which is before Moab on the Eastside.
Potom se zapute iz Obota i utabore se kraj Ije-Abarima, u pustinji što je nasuprot Moabu, sa strane sunčeva izlaska.
12 They remoued thence, and pitched vpon the riuer of Zared.
Odande otputuju te se utabore u dolini Zaredu.
13 Thence they departed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wildernesse, and commeth out of the coasts of the Amorites: (for Arnon is the border of Moab, betweene the Moabites and the Amorites)
Odande krenu i utabore se s onu stranu Arnona, koji je u pustinji a izvire u području Amorejaca. Jer je Arnon granica moapska između Moabaca i Amorejaca.
14 Wherefore it shall be spoken in the booke of the battels of the Lord, what thing he did in the red sea, and in the riuers of Arnon,
Zato se veli u “Knjizi Jahvinih vojni”: “Vaheb kod Sufe i doline arnonske
15 And at the streame of the riuers that goeth downe to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth vpon the border of Moab.
i padine doline što se naginje prema mjestu Aru i naslanja se na granicu moapsku ...”
16 And from thence they turned to Beer: the same is the well where the Lord said vnto Moses, Assemble the people, and I wil giue them water.
Odande odoše u Beer. To je bunar o kojem je Jahve rekao Mojsiju: “Skupi narod da im dam vode!”
17 Then Israel sang this song, Rise vp well, sing ye vnto it.
Tada Izrael zapjeva ovu pjesmu: “Proključaj, studenče! A vi ga uznosite:
18 The princes digged this well, the captaines of the people digged it, euen the lawe giuer, with their staues. And from the wildernesse they came to Mattanah,
knezovi ga iskopali, prvaci narodni izdubli žezlom, štapom svojim.” Iz pustinje odu u Matanu,
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
iz Matane u Nahaliel, a iz Nahaliela u Bamot;
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the plaine of Moab, to the top of Pisgah that looketh toward Ieshimon.
iz Bamota u dolinu što se stere u moapskom polju, prema vrhuncu Pisge, s koje se pruža vidik na pustaru.
21 Then Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, saying,
Sad Izrael posla glasnike Sihonu, amorejskome kralju, s porukom:
22 Let me goe through thy land: we wil not turne aside into the fieldes, nor into the vineyardes, neither drinke of the waters of ye welles: we will goe by the kings way, vntill we be past thy countrey.
“Pusti da prođem preko tvoje zemlje. Nećemo zalaziti u polja i u vinograde, niti ćemo piti vode iz bunara. Ići ćemo Kraljevskim putem dok ne prođemo tvoje područje.”
23 But Sihon gaue Israel no licence to passe through his countrey, but Sihon assembled all his people, and went out against Israel into the wildernesse: and he came to Iahoz, and fought against Israel.
Ali Sihon ne dopusti Izraelu da prođe njegovim područjem, nego skupi sav svoj narod te izađe u pustinju da presretne Izraelce. Stigavši do Jahze, zavojuje na Izraela.
24 But Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and conquered his land, from Arnon vnto Iabok, euen vnto ye children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
Ali ga Izrael potuče oštrim mačem i osvoji njegovu zemlju od Arnona do Jaboka, do Amonaca, jer je Az ležao na granici Amonaca.
25 And Israel tooke al these cities, and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof.
Izrael zauzme sve one gradove i Izrael se nastani u svim onim gradovima Amorejaca; u Hešbonu i svim njegovim naseljima.
26 For Heshbon was the citie of Sihon the king of the Amorites, which had fought beforetime against the king of the Moabites, and had taken al his land out of his hand, euen vnto Arnon.
Kako je Hešbon bio glavni grad Sihona, amorejskog kralja, koji je ratovao protiv prijašnjega moapskoga kralja te osvojio svu njegovu zemlju do Arnona,
27 Wherefore they that speake in prouerbes, say, Come to Heshbon, let the citie of Sihon bee built and repaired:
kažu zato pjesnici: “Hrabro, o Hešbone, dobro sazdani, čvrsto posađeni grade Sihonov!
28 For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the citie of Sihon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the lords of Bamoth in Arnon.
Iz Hešbona oganj suknu, plamen iz grada Sihonova, sažga Ar moapski, proždrije visove arnonske.
29 Wo be to thee, Moab: O people of Chemosh, thou art vndone: he hath suffered his sonnes to be pursued, and his daughters to be in captiuitie to Sihon the king of the Amorites.
Teško tebi, Moabe! Propao si, narode Kemošev! Od sinova bjegunce učini, a od kćeri svojih ropkinje Sihonu, kralju amorejskom.
30 Their empire also is lost from Heshbon vnto Dibon, and wee haue destroyed them vnto Nophah, which reacheth vnto Medeba.
Pobili smo ih; propao je Hešbon do Dibona: sve smo razorili do Nofaha, što je blizu Medebe ...”
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the lande of the Amorites.
Tako se Izrael nastani u zemlji Amorejaca.
32 And Moses sent to searche out Iaazer, and they tooke the townes belonging thereto, and rooted out the Amorites that were there.
Mojsije se uputi da izvidi Jazer. Potom zauzmu njegova naselja a rastjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.
33 And they turned and went vp toward Bashan: and Og the King of Bashan came out against them, hee, and all his people, to fight at Edrei.
Okrenu se onda i pođu prema Bašanu. A bašanski kralj Og presrete ih sa svim svojim narodom da zapodjene boj kod Edreja.
34 Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Feare him not: for I haue deliuered him into thine hand and all his people, and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou diddest vnto Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
Ali Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Ne boj ga se! Predao sam u tvoje ruke njega, sav njegov narod i njegovu zemlju. Postupi s njim kako si postupio s amorejskim kraljem Sihonom koji je boravio u Hešbonu.”
35 They smote him therefore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntill there was none left him: so they conquered his land.
I potukoše ga, i sinove njegove, i sav njegov narod, tako da nitko ne uteče. Potom zaposjedoše njegovu zemlju.
