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.
Arad fia, tso Kanaanyigba dzi ƒe ŋkutsalawo to mɔ ɖeka kple Israelviwo. Esi Arad fia se be Israelviwo to Atarim mɔ gbɔna la, eho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ŋu, eye wòɖe aboyo woƒe ame aɖewo.
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.
Israelviwo ɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa be, ne ana yewoaɖu Arad fia kple eƒe amewo dzi la, yewoagbã du siwo katã le afi ma la gudugudu.
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.
Yehowa se woƒe kokoƒoƒo, eye wòna woɖu Kanaantɔwo dzi. Israelviwo gbã woƒe duwo gudugudu. Wona ŋkɔ teƒe ma tso ɣe ma ɣi be, “Horma” si gɔmee nye “Afi si wogbã duwo le gudugudu.”
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.
Israelviwo trɔ yi Hor to la dzi, eye woɖo ta anyigbeme lɔƒo to mɔ si ɖo ta Ƒu Dzĩ la gbɔ la dzi be yewoaƒo xlã Edomnyigba. Nu sia ɖe dzi le Israelviwo ƒo ŋutɔ.
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.
Wode asi liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ me ɖe Mawu kple Mose ŋu be, “Nu ka ta miekplɔ mí dzoe le Egipte be míava ku ɖe gbedzi le afi sia? Naneke mele afi sia míaɖu o, tsi meli míano o, mana sia hã va ti mí azɔ.”
6 Wherefore the Lord sent fierie serpents among ye people, which stung the people: so that many of the people of Israel died.
Ale Yehowa dɔ da vɔ̃ɖiwo ɖe Israelviwo dome woɖu ame geɖewo, eye woku.
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.
Ameawo va Mose gbɔ hedo ɣli be, “Míewɔ nu vɔ̃, elabena míeƒo nu tsi tsitre ɖe wò kple Yehowa ŋu. Ɖe kuku na Yehowa na mí be wòaɖe dawo ɖa.” Ale Mose do gbe ɖa ɖe ameawo ta.
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.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Tsɔ akɔbli nàwɔ nu si aɖi da siawo dometɔ ɖeka la da ɖe ati tutu aɖe tame. Ame sia ame si da aɖu la, ne ekpɔ akɔblida la ko la, atsi agbe!”
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.
Ale Mose wɔ akɔblida la, eye wòkɔe tɔ ɖe ati si wotu la nu. Ne da ɖu ame aɖe, eye wòwu mo dzi kpɔ akɔblida la ko la, etsia agbe.
10 And ye children of Israel departed thence, and pitched in Oboth.
Israelviwo tso afi sia yi Obot. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi ma.
11 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in lie-abarim, in the wildernesse, which is before Moab on the Eastside.
Tso Obot la, woyi Iye Abarim le gbedzi afi si te ɖe Moab ƒe ɣedzeƒe ŋu.
12 They remoued thence, and pitched vpon the riuer of Zared.
Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Zered tɔʋu la ƒe balime.
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)
Wotso eme yi Arnon tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ si te ɖe Amoritɔwo ƒe liƒo ŋu. Arnon tɔsisi lae nye liƒo le Moabtɔwo kple Amoritɔwo dome.
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,
Eya ta woŋlɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe Aʋawɔwɔwo ƒe Agbalẽ la me be, Zahad le Sufa kple Arnon tɔsisi la,
15 And at the streame of the riuers that goeth downe to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth vpon the border of Moab.
tɔʋu la me tsi, si ɖo ta Ar nutowo me eye wòdo liƒo na Moabtɔwo.
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.
Tso afi sia la, Israelviwo zɔ mɔ yi Beer. Ŋkɔ sia gɔmee nye “Vudo.” Afi siae Yehowa gblɔ na Mose le be, “Ƒo ameawo nu ƒu, eye mana tsi wo.”
17 Then Israel sang this song, Rise vp well, sing ye vnto it.
Israel dzi ha be, “Dzi tsi, O vudo! Midzi ha tso tsi la ŋu!
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,
Esiae nye vudo si amegãwo kple dukɔ la ƒe bubumewo tsɔ woƒe atikplɔwo kple woƒe atizɔtiwo ɖee la.” Wodzo le gbegbe la,
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
eye woto Matana, Nahaliel kple Bamot,
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the plaine of Moab, to the top of Pisgah that looketh toward Ieshimon.
eye woyi balime si le Moab ƒe togbɛwo te, afi si gbegbe la kple Pisga to dzena le tso adzɔge.
21 Then Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, saying,
Azɔ la, Israelviwo ɖo ame dɔdɔwo ɖe Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia gbɔ.
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.
Woɖe kuku na fia la be, “Na míato wò anyigba dzi ayi. Míadze ato agblewo alo wainbɔwo me o, eye míele vudometsi hã no ge o. Míale mɔ gã la tẽ va se ɖe esime míatso wò anyigba me ayi.”
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.
Fia Sixɔn gbe mɔɖeɖe na Israel be wòato eƒe anyigba dzi ayi o. Sixɔn ƒo eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la nu ƒu eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel ŋu le gbedzi esi woɖo Yahaz.
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.
Israelviwo ɖu wo dzi, eye woxɔ woƒe anyigba tso Arnon tɔsisi la ŋu va se ɖe Yabok tɔsisi la ŋu, heyi ɖe Amonitɔwo ƒe liƒo dzi. Israelviwo megate ŋu yi ŋgɔ wu afi sia o, elabena Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nye Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo la nye aʋawɔla sesẽwo.
25 And Israel tooke al these cities, and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof.
Israelviwo xɔ Amoritɔwo ƒe duwo katã, eye wonɔ wo me; Hesbon kple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe la hã nɔ eme.
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.
Hesbon nye Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia ƒe du. Sixɔn wɔ aʋa kple Moabtɔwo ƒe fia xoxo la, eye wòxɔ eƒe anyigba katã yi keke Arnon.
27 Wherefore they that speake in prouerbes, say, Come to Heshbon, let the citie of Sihon bee built and repaired:
Eya ta hakpala la gblɔ be, “Va Hesbon, eye nàna woagbugbɔe atu, na woagbugbɔ Sixɔn ƒe du la aɖo te.
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.
“Elabena dzo do tso Hesbon, dzo ƒe aɖewo tso Sixɔn ƒe du me. Fia Moab ƒe Ar, Arnon ƒe todzitɔwo,
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.
baba na wò, O Moab! Wotsrɔ̃ mi, Kemostɔwo! Ena via ŋutsuwo zu sisilawo, eye via nyɔnuwo zu aboyomewo na Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia.
30 Their empire also is lost from Heshbon vnto Dibon, and wee haue destroyed them vnto Nophah, which reacheth vnto Medeba.
“Ke míawo míeɖu wo dzi wotsrɔ̃ Hesbon yi keke Dibon míegbã wo yi keke Nofa, yi kekeke Medeba.”
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the lande of the Amorites.
Ale Israelviwo nɔ Amoritɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi.
32 And Moses sent to searche out Iaazer, and they tooke the townes belonging thereto, and rooted out the Amorites that were there.
Esime Mose ɖo ŋkutsalawo ɖe Yazer megbe la, Israelviwo xɔ du sue siwo ƒo xlãe, eye wonya Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ afi ma la le woƒe anyigba la dzi.
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.
Le esia megbe la, wotrɔ ɖe Basab du la ŋu. Ke Ɔg, Basan fia, kpe aʋa kpli wo le Edrei.
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.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Mègavɔ̃e o, elabena matsɔ eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la kpakple eƒe anyigba la ade asi na wò; eye nawɔe abe ale si nèwɔ fia Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia le Hesbon ene.”
35 They smote him therefore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntill there was none left him: so they conquered his land.
Eva eme nenema tututu. Israel ɖu dzi. Wowu Ɔg, Basan fia, via ŋutsuwo kple eteviwo ale gbegbe be aʋawɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o. Ale Israelviwo xɔ anyigba la.
