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.
Mgbe eze Kenan, bụ Arad, onye bi na Negev nụrụ na ndị Izrel na-agbaso ụzọ ahụ na-aga obodo Atarim, ọ chịkọtara ndị agha ya, pụkwuru ndị Izrel, lụso ha agha. Ọ dọtara ụfọdụ nʼime ha nʼagha.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Izrel kwere Onyenwe anyị nkwa sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-enyere anyị aka imeri eze Arad na ndị ya, anyị ga-ebibi obodo ha niile kpamkpam.”
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.
Onyenwe anyị ṅara ntị nʼarịrịọ ha, nyere ha aka imeri ndị Kenan ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel bibiri obodo ha niile, na ndị niile bi nʼime ya. Ya mere, aha a kpọrọ ebe ahụ niile bụ Homa.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel sitere nʼugwu Hor bilie ije ha, si ụzọ gawara Osimiri Uhie, ka ha nwee ike gaa gburugburu ala ndị Edọm. Ma ndị Izrel enweghị ntachiobi oge niile ha nọ nʼije a.
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.
Ha kwuru okwu megide Chineke na Mosis sị, “Gịnị mere i ji site nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta anyị ka anyị nwụsịa nʼọzara a? Lee na nri ọbụla adịghị nʼebe a, mmiri ọṅụṅụ adịghịkwa, ike iri mánà a na-enweghị isi agwụkwala anyị.”
6 Wherefore the Lord sent fierie serpents among ye people, which stung the people: so that many of the people of Israel died.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị zitere agwọ ọjọọ na-ata ata nʼetiti ha. Agwọ ndị a tagbukwara ọtụtụ nʼime ụmụ Izrel.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Izrel bịakwutere Mosis sị ya, “Anyị emehiela, nʼihi na anyị ekwuluola Onyenwe anyị, kwulukwaa gị onwe gị. Biko rịọrọ anyị Onyenwe anyị ka o wezugara anyị agwọ ọjọọ ndị a.” Mosis rịọrọ arịrịọ nʼihi ha.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Kpụọ otu agwọ yiri agwọ ndị a. Kwụba ya nʼọnụ ogologo osisi nke ị ga-amanye nʼala ebe mmadụ niile ga-ahụ ya anya. Onye ọbụla agwọ ọjọọ a tara ga-adị ndụ ma ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-ewelite anya ya elu lekwasị agwọ ahụ ị kwụbara nʼelu osisi ahụ.”
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.
Ya mere, Mosis ji bronz kpụta agwọ yiri otu nʼime agwọ ndị ahụ, tinye ya nʼọnụ osisi dị ogologo. Onye ọbụla kwa agwọ ahụ tara nke welitere anya ya elu lee agwọ bronz ahụ anya, dịkwara ndụ.
10 And ye children of Israel departed thence, and pitched in Oboth.
Ụmụ Izrel biliri njem, manye ụlọ ikwu ha na Obot.
11 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in lie-abarim, in the wildernesse, which is before Moab on the Eastside.
Ha sikwa nʼObot bilie njem, maa ụlọ ikwu ha na Iye Abarim, nʼọzara ahụ nke chere ihu nʼobodo Moab, nʼụzọ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
12 They remoued thence, and pitched vpon the riuer of Zared.
Ha si nʼebe ahụ bilie njem, manye ụlọ ikwu ha na Ndagwurugwu Zered.
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)
Ha sitekwara nʼebe ahụ bilie njem, maa ụlọ ikwu ha nʼofe iyi Anọn nke dị nʼọzara ruru nʼoke ala ndị Amọrait. Iyi Anọn bụ oke ala Moab, nʼetiti ndị Moab na ndị Amọrait.
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,
Nʼihi nke a, nʼAkwụkwọ Agha dị iche iche nke Onyenwe anyị na-asị, “Waheb nʼime Sufa ya na ndagwurugwu niile Anọn
15 And at the streame of the riuers that goeth downe to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth vpon the border of Moab.
na mgbadata ndagwurugwu ndị ahụ nke gbasapụrụ ruo nʼebe Ar dị, nke tọgbọrọ nʼoke ala Moab.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel niile biliri njem bịarute Bịa bụ nʼolulu mmiri ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis iwu sị, “Kpọkọtaa ndị Izrel niile, nʼihi na m na-aga inye ha mmiri.”
17 Then Israel sang this song, Rise vp well, sing ye vnto it.
Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel bụrụ abụ a. “Sọpụta gị olulu mmiri! Bụọnụ abụ banyere mmiri a!
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,
Olulu mmiri ụmụ ndị eze gwuru nke ndị ndu anyị doziri. Mkpara eze ha na mkpara ha, ka ha ji gwuo ya.” Emesịa, ha hapụrụ ọzara ahụ, gaa nʼihu ruo nʼobodo Matana.
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
Ha si Matana jeruo Nahaliel, si Nahaliel jeruo Bamot.
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the plaine of Moab, to the top of Pisgah that looketh toward Ieshimon.
Sitekwa Bamot rute na ndagwurugwu ahụ dị nʼọhịa Moab, ruo nʼugwu Pisga, nke chere ihu nʼala ahụ tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
21 Then Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, saying,
Ndị Izrel zipụrụ ndị ozi ka ha jekwuru Saịhọn, eze ndị Amọrait, sị ya,
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.
“Biko, kwere ka anyị site nʼobodo gị gafee. Anyị agaghị atụgharị banye nʼime ala ubi gị maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị, maọbụ ṅụọ mmiri site nʼolulu mmiri ọbụla dị nʼala gị. Anyị ga-eje nʼokporoụzọ eze tutu ruo mgbe anyị ga-agabiga oke ala gị.”
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.
Ma Saịhọn ekweghị na ụmụ Izrel ga-esi nʼoke ala ya gafee. Ọ chịkọtara ndị agha ya niile, zọpụ ije ibu agha megide ndị Izrel nʼime ọzara ahụ. Mgbe o rutere Jehaz, ọ lụsoro Izrel agha.
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.
Ma Izrel jiri mma agha gbuo ya. Nwetara onwe ha ala ya, site nʼiyi Anọn ruo nʼiyi Jabọk, gamiekwa rute nʼoke ala ha na ndị Amọn, ha kwụsịrị nʼihi nʼoke ala ndị Amọn siri ike karịa.
25 And Israel tooke al these cities, and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof.
Ndị Izrel lụgburu obodo niile nke ndị Amọrait bichie nʼime ha, tinyere Heshbọn na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu.
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.
Heshbọn bụ isi obodo Saịhọn, eze ndị Amọrait onye busoro eze naara achị Moab agha dọta ala ya niile nʼagha ruo Anọn.
27 Wherefore they that speake in prouerbes, say, Come to Heshbon, let the citie of Sihon bee built and repaired:
Ọ bụ nke a mere ndị na-arọ abụ ji kwuo sị, “Bịa na Heshbọn ka e wukwaa ya, ka e mee ka isi obodo eze Saịhọn guzosie ike.
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.
“Nʼihi na ọkụ esitela na Heshbọn pụọ. Ire ọkụ esitela nʼobodo ukwu Saịhọn, rechapụ obodo Ar, nke dị na Moab, ndị nwe ebe niile dị elu nke Anọn.
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.
Ahụhụ dịrị gị Moab! Ndị a lara nʼiyi ka unu bụ, unu ndị Kemosh. Ụmụ ya ndị ikom aghọọla ndị na-enweghị ebe obibi. A dọtala ụmụ ndị inyom nʼagha, nye Saịhọn eze ndị Amọrait.
30 Their empire also is lost from Heshbon vnto Dibon, and wee haue destroyed them vnto Nophah, which reacheth vnto Medeba.
“Ma anyị ebibiela ha, bibie Heshbọn ruo rịị na Dibọn, bibie ha ruo Nofa, ruokwa rịị Medeba.”
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the lande of the Amorites.
Ya mere, ụmụ Izrel bichiri nʼala ndị Amọrait.
32 And Moses sent to searche out Iaazer, and they tooke the townes belonging thereto, and rooted out the Amorites that were there.
Emesịa, Mosis zipụrụ ndị nnyopụta ka ha ga nyochaa Jeza. Ụmụ Izrel tigburu obodo niile dị gburugburu ya chụpụkwa ndị Amọrait bi nʼebe ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ha chigharịrị gbagoo nʼụzọ gawara Bashan. Ma Ọg, eze Bashan, na ndị agha ya niile biliri chịrị agha pụọ izute ha na 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.
Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu, sị, “Atụla ya egwu nʼihi na ewerela m ya na ndị agha ya niile, na ala ya, nyefee gị nʼaka. Mee ya ihe i mere Saịhọn eze ndị Amọrait onyeisi obodo ya bụ Heshbọn.”
35 They smote him therefore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntill there was none left him: so they conquered his land.
Ya mere, ha gburu ya, tinyere ụmụ ya na ndị agha ya niile, na-ahapụghị onye ọbụla ndụ nye ha. Ha nwetakwara ala ha, biri nʼime ya.
