< 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.
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 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.
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 voyce of Israel, and deliuered them the Canaanites: and they vtterly destroied them and their cities, and called ye name of the place Hormah.
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 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.
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 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.
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 fierie serpents among ye people, which stung the people: so that many of the people of Israel died.
Nake Jehova akĩmatũmĩra nyoka ciarĩ na thumu; ikĩrũma andũ a Isiraeli, na aingĩ ao magĩkua.
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.
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 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.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thondeka nyoka ũmĩcuurie gĩtugĩ igũrũ; mũndũ o wothe ũrĩĩrũmagwo-rĩ, aamĩrora nĩarĩtũũraga muoyo.”
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.
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 ye children of Israel departed thence, and pitched in Oboth.
Andũ a Isiraeli makiumagara, magĩthiĩ makĩamba hema ciao Obothu.
11 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in lie-abarim, in the wildernesse, which is before Moab on the Eastside.
Ningĩ makiuma Obothu magĩthiĩ Iye-Abarimu, makĩamba hema ciao werũ-inĩ ũrĩa ũngʼethanĩire na Moabi mwena wa irathĩro.
12 They remoued thence, and pitched vpon the riuer of Zared.
Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ na mbere, makĩamba hema ciao Kĩanda kĩa Zeredi.
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)
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 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,
Na nĩkĩo Ibuku rĩa Mbaara cia Jehova riugĩte atĩrĩ: “… Wahebu thĩinĩ wa Sufa, na mĩkuru, Arinoni
15 And at the streame of the riuers that goeth downe to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth vpon the border of Moab.
na igaragaro-inĩ cia mĩkuru ĩrĩa ithiĩte o nginya kũu Ari, na ĩgatwarana na mũhaka wa Moabi.”
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.
Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ na mbere nginya kũu Biri, gĩthima-inĩ harĩa Jehova erire Musa atĩrĩ, “Cookereria andũ hamwe na nĩngũmahe maaĩ.”
17 Then Israel sang this song, Rise vp well, sing ye vnto it.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Isiraeli makĩina rwĩmbo rũrũ: “Therũka maaĩ, wee gĩthima gĩkĩ! Inyuĩ na inyuĩ inai ũhoro wakĩo,
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,
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 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
kuuma Matana magĩthiĩ Nahalieli, kuuma Nahalieli magĩthiĩ Bamothu,
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the plaine of Moab, to the top of Pisgah that looketh toward Ieshimon.
na kuuma Bamothu magĩthiĩ kĩanda kĩa Moabi, kũrĩa gacũmbĩrĩ ka Pisiga kangʼetheire werũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ kĩndũ.
21 Then Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, saying,
Isiraeli nĩatũmire andũ kũrĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori makamwĩre atĩrĩ:
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.
“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 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.
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 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.
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 And Israel tooke al these cities, and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all 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 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.
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 Wherefore they that speake in prouerbes, say, Come to Heshbon, let the citie of Sihon bee built and repaired:
Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga aini a marebeta moige atĩrĩ: “Ũkaai Heshiboni nĩgeetha rĩakwo rĩngĩ; itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni nĩrĩcokererio.
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.
“Mwaki nĩwoimire kũu Heshiboni, rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũkiuma itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni. Ũkĩniina itũũra rĩa Ari Moabi, o atũũri a kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwa Arinoni.
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.
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 empire also is lost from Heshbon vnto Dibon, and wee haue destroyed them vnto Nophah, which reacheth vnto Medeba.
“No ithuĩ nĩtũmangʼaũranĩtie; Heshiboni kwanangĩtwo guothe nginya o Diboni. Tũmamomorete tũgakinya Nofa, itũũra rĩrĩa rĩkuhanĩrĩirie na Medeba.”
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the lande of the Amorites.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũũra bũrũri ũcio wa Aamori.
32 And Moses sent to searche out Iaazer, and they tooke the townes belonging thereto, and rooted out the Amorites that were there.
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 and went vp toward Bashan: and Og the King of Bashan came out against them, hee, and all his people, to fight at Edrei.
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 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.
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 They smote him therefore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntill there was none left him: so they conquered 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.
