Numbers 21
1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
Quod cum audisset Chananaeus rex Arad, qui habitabat ad meridiem, venisse scilicet Israel per exploratorum viam, pugnavit contra illum, et victor existens, duxit ex eo praedam.
2 And Israel vowed a vow unto Yhwh, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
At Israel voto se Domino obligans, ait: Si tradideris populum istum in manu mea, delebo urbes eius.
3 And Yhwh hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
Exaudivitque Dominus preces Israel, et tradidit Chananaeum, quem ille interfecit subversis urbibus eius: et vocavit nomen loci illius Horma, id est, anathema.
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
Profecti sunt autem et de monte Hor, per viam, quae ducit ad Mare rubrum, ut circumirent terram Edom. Et taedere coepit populum itineris ac laboris:
5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
locutusque contra Deum et Moysen, ait: Cur eduxisti nos de Aegypto, ut moreremur in solitudine? Deest panis, non sunt aquae: anima nostra iam nauseat super cibo isto levissimo.
6 And Yhwh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Quamobrem misit Dominus in populum ignitos serpentes, ad quorum plagas et mortes plurimorum,
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against Yhwh, and against thee; pray unto Yhwh, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
venerunt ad Moysen, atque dixerunt: Peccavimus, quia locuti sumus contra Dominum et te: ora ut tollat a nobis serpentes. Oravitque Moyses pro populo,
8 And Yhwh said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
et locutus est Dominus ad eum: Fac serpentem aeneum, et pone eum pro signo: qui percussus aspexerit eum, vivet.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
Fecit ergo Moyses SERPENTEM AeNEUM, et posuit eum pro signo: quem cum percussi aspicerent, sanabantur.
10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
Profectique filii Israel castrametati sunt in Oboth.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije–abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
Unde egressi fixere tentoria in Ieabarim, in solitudine, quae respicit Moab contra orientalem plagam.
12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
Et inde moventes, venerunt ad Torrentem Zared.
13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
Quem relinquentes castrametati sunt contra Arnon, quae est in deserto, et prominet in finibus Amorrhaei. siquidem Arnon terminus est Moab, dividens Moabitas et Amorrhaeos.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of Yhwh, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
Unde dicitur in libro bellorum Domini: Sicut fecit in Mari rubro, sic faciet in torrentibus Arnon.
15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
Scopuli torrentium inclinati sunt, ut requiescerent in Arnon, et recumberent in finibus Moabitarum.
16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof Yhwh spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
Ex eo loco apparuit puteus, super quo locutus est Dominus ad Moysen: Congrega populum, et dabo ei aquam.
17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
Tunc cecinit Israel carmen istud: Ascendat puteus. Concinebant:
18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
Puteus, quem foderunt principes, et paraverunt duces multitudinis in datore legis, et in baculis suis. Profectique sunt de solitudine, Matthana.
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
De Matthana in Nahaliel: de Nahaliel, in Bamoth.
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
Bamoth, vallis est in regione Moab, in vertice Phasga, quod respicit contra desertum.
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Misit autem Israel nuncios ad Sehon regem Amorrhaeorum, dicens:
22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king’s high way, until we be past thy borders.
Obsecro ut transire mihi liceat per terram tuam: non declinabimus in agros et vineas, non bibemus aquas ex puteis, via regia gradiemur, donec transeamus terminos tuos.
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
Qui concedere noluit ut transiret Israel per fines suos: quin potius exercitu congregato, egressus est obviam in desertum, et venit in Iasa, pugnavitque contra eum.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
A quo percussus est in ore gladii, et possessa est terra eius ab Arnon usque Ieboc, et filios Ammon: quia forti praesidio tenebantur termini Ammonitarum.
25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
Tulit ergo Israel omnes civitates eius, et habitavit in urbibus Amorrhaei, in Hesebon scilicet, et viculis eius.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
Urbs Hesebon fuit Sehon regis Amorrhaei, qui pugnavit contra regem Moab: et tulit omnem terram, quae ditionis illius fuerat, usque Arnon.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
Idcirco dicitur in Proverbio: Venite in Hesebon, aedificetur, et construatur civitas Sehon:
28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
Ignis egressus est de Hesebon, flamma de oppido Sehon, et devoravit Ar Moabitarum, et habitatores excelsorum Arnon.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
Vae tibi Moab, peristi popule Chamos. Dedit filios eius in fugam, et filias in captivitatem regi Amorrhaeorum Sehon.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
Iugum ipsorum disperiit ad Hesebon usque Dibon, lassi pervenerunt in Nophe, et usque Medaba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
Habitavit itaque Israel in Terra Amorrhaei.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
Misitque Moyses qui explorarent Iazer: cuius ceperunt viculos, et possederunt habitatores.
33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
Verteruntque se, et ascenderunt per viam Basan, et occurrit eis Og rex Basan cum omni populo suo, pugnaturus in Edrai.
34 And Yhwh said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Ne timeas eum, quia in manu tua tradidi illum, et omnem populum, ac terram eius: faciesque illi sicut fecisti Sehon regi Amorrhaeorum habitatori Hesebon.
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
Percusserunt igitur et hunc cum filiis suis, universumque populum eius usque ad internecionem, et possederunt terram illius.
