< Numbers 21 >
1 And the Canaanite, king of Arad, dwelling in the south, hears that Israel has come the way of the Atharim, and he fights against Israel, and takes [some] of them captive.
Wa lavil Arad la, nan rejyon Negèv la, te yon moun peyi Kanaran. Lè li vin tande moun pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap vini sou chemen ki mennen Atarim lan, l' al atake yo. Li fè kèk ladan yo prizonye.
2 And Israel vows a vow to YHWH and says, “If You certainly give this people into my hand, then I have devoted their cities”;
Lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè yon ve bay Seyè a, yo di konsa: -Si ou lage moun sa yo nan men nou, n'ap mete yo tout apa pou ou ansanm ak tout lavil yo. N'ap detwi yo nèt.
3 and YHWH listens to the voice of Israel and gives up the Canaanite, and he devotes them and their cities, and calls the name of the place Hormah.
Seyè a tande sa yo te mande l' la, epi li ede yo, li fè yo mete men sou moun Kanaran yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo disparèt tout moun yo ansanm ak tout lavil yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Oma.
4 And they journey from Mount Hor, the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom, and the soul of the people is short in the way,
Moun Izrayèl yo pati, yo kite mòn Or la, yo pran wout ki mennen bò Lanmè Wouj la, pou yo pa pase nan peyi Edon an. Men, antan y'ap vwayaje a, pèp la vin dekouraje.
5 and the people speak against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul has been weary of this light bread.”
Pèp la pale Bondye ansanm ak Moyiz mal, yo leve dèyè yo, yo di konsa: -Poukisa nou fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la? Gen lè se pou fè nou vin mouri nan dezè sa a kote ki pa gen ni manje ni dlo. Nou bouke manje vye manje sa a ki pa ka fè anyen pou nou ankò.
6 And YHWH sends the burning serpents among the people, and they bite the people, and many people of Israel die;
Lè sa a, Seyè a voye yon bann ti sèpan sou pèp la. Kote sèpan sa yo mòde ou la boule kou dife. Yo mòde pèp la. Anpil moun te mouri.
7 and the people come to Moses and say, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against YHWH and against you; pray to YHWH that He turns the serpent aside from us”; and Moses prays in behalf of the people.
Pèp la vin jwenn Moyiz, yo di l' konsa: -Nou rekonèt nou fè sa ki mal lè nou pale kont Seyè a ak kont ou menm tou. Tanpri, lapriyè Seyè a pou nou pou l' fè sèpan sa yo ale. Moyiz lapriyè pou pèp la vre.
8 And YHWH says to Moses, “Make a burning [serpent] for yourself, and set it on an ensign; and it has been, everyone who is bitten and has seen it—he has lived.”
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Fè pòtre yon sèpan parèy ak sèpan sa yo. Mete l' sou yon poto byen wo. Konsa, depi yon sèpan mòde yon moun, moun lan va annik gade pòtre sèpan an, epi li p'ap mouri.
9 And Moses makes a serpent of bronze, and sets it on the ensign, and it has been, if the serpent has bitten any man, and he has looked expectingly to the serpent of bronze—he has lived.
Moyiz pran kwiv, li fonn li, li fè yon sèpan parèy ak sèpan yo. Lèfini, li mete l' sou yon poto byen wo. Tout moun sèpan mòde, depi yo voye je yo gade sèpan an kwiv la, yo pa mouri.
10 And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in Oboth.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati, y' al moute kan yo nan fon Obòt la.
11 And they journey from Oboth and encamp in Ije-Abarim, in the wilderness that [is] on the front of Moab, at the rising of the sun.
Apre sa, yo kite fon Obòt, y' al moute kan yo bò mazi Abarim yo nan dezè ki sou bò lès peyi Moab la.
12 From there they have journeyed and encamp in the Valley of Zared.
Apre sa ankò, yo kite kote yo te ye a, y' al moute kan yo nan ravin Zerèd.
13 From there they have journeyed and encamp beyond Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness which is coming out of the border of the Amorite, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorite;
Lè yo kite ravin Zerèd, y' al moute kan yo lòt bò larivyè Anon nan dezè ki rive jouk nan teritwa moun Amori yo. Rivyè Anon sa a te sèvi fwontyè ant peyi Moab ak peyi Amori a.
14 therefore it is said in [the] scroll of the Wars of YHWH: “Waheb in Suphah, And the brooks of Arnon;
Se poutèt sa, nan liv istwa ki rakonte batay Seyè a, nou jwenn yo pale sou lavil Vayèb, nan peyi Soufa a, ak ravin li yo, sou rivyè Anon
15 And the spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the dwelling of Ar, And has leaned to the border of Moab.”
avèk fon lavalas li yo, ki desann bò lavil Amoab la nan direksyon fwontyè peyi Moab la.
16 And from there [they journeyed] to Beer; it [is] the well [concerning] which YHWH said to Moses, “Gather the people, and I give water to them.”
Apre sa, yo kite kote yo te ye a, y' al yon kote yo rele Beyè. Se la Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz, lè li te di l': Reyini tout pèp la. Mwen pral ba yo dlo.
17 Then Israel sings this song: “Spring up, O well, Let all answer to it!
Lè sa a, moun Izrayèl yo pran chante chante sa a: Pi a bay dlo! Annou chante pou sa!
18 A well—princes have dug it, Nobles of the people have prepared it, With the lawgiver, with their staffs.” And from the wilderness [they journeyed] to Mattanah,
Pi chèf yo te fouye Avèk baton kòmandan yo! Pi grannèg yo te fouye Avèk baton yo sèvi lè y'ap mache a! Apre sa, yo kite dezè a, y' al moute kan yo Matana.
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
Lè yo kite Matana, y' ale Nakalyèl. Lè yo kite Nakalyèl, yo moute Bannòt.
20 and from Bamoth, in the valley which [is] in the field of Moab, [to] the top of Pisgah, which has looked on the front of the wilderness.
Lè yo kite Bannòt, y' ale nan fon ki nan peyi Moab la, jouk sou tèt mòn Pisga, kote y'ap gade tout dezè a nan pye yo.
21 And Israel sends messengers to Sihon king of the Amorite, saying,
Lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo voye mesaje bò kote Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, pou di l' konsa:
22 “Let me pass through your land, we do not turn aside into a field or into a vineyard; we do not drink waters of a well; we go in the king’s way until we pass over your border.”
-Kite nou pase ase nan mitan peyi ou la! Nou p'ap kite wout nou pou pase nan mitan jaden ou, ni nan mitan pye rezen ou yo. Ata bwè nou p'ap bwè dlo nan pi ou yo. N'ap rete sou gran chemen ou va moutre nou an, jouk n'a fin travèse lòt bò peyi ou la.
23 And Sihon has not permitted Israel to pass through his border, and Sihon gathers all his people, and comes out to meet Israel in the wilderness, and comes to Jahaz, and fights against Israel.
Men, Siyon pa t' vle kite pèp Izrayèl la pase sou tè li yo. Li leve tout pèp l' a, li mache sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, l' al kontre ak yo yon kote nan dezè a yo rele Jaza, l' atake yo.
24 And Israel strikes him by the mouth of the sword, and possesses his land from Arnon to Jabbok—to the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon [is] strong.
Men, moun Izrayèl yo touye anpil ladan yo nan batay la, yo pran tout peyi a nan men yo, depi larivyè Anon nan sid rive larivyè Jabòk nan nò, toupre fwontyè peyi Amon an, ki te yon fwontyè byen gade.
25 And Israel takes all these cities, and Israel dwells in all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon and in all its villages;
Se konsa, moun Izrayèl yo pran tout lavil moun Amori yo, depi Esbon, kapital la ak lòt ti bouk nan vwazinaj li ki te sou kont li, epi yo rete ladan yo tout.
26 for Heshbon is a city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he has fought against the former king of Moab, and takes all his land out of his hand as far as Arnon;
Lavil Esbon te kapital peyi a. Se la Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, te rete. Se menm Siyon sa a ki te goumen kont ansyen wa peyi Moab la epi ki te pran tout peyi a pou li jouk larivyè Anon.
27 therefore those using allegories say: “Enter Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,
Se poutèt sa sanba yo di: -Ann ale Esbon! Ann al bati l' ankò! Ann al mete lavil wa Siyon an kanpe sou de pye l' ankò!
28 For fire has gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, It has consumed Ar of Moab, Owners of the high places of Arnon.
Paske yon sèl dife te soti lavil Esbon, Wi, lame wa Siyon an derape tankou yon flanm dife, li boule lavil A Moab. Li devore tout chèf ki rete sou mòn Anon an.
29 Woe to you, O Moab, You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons [as] fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, To Sihon king of the Amorite!
Sa pral rèd nèt pou nou, moun peyi Moab! Nou pèdi nèt, nou menm sèvitè Kemòch! Bondye nou an fè pitit gason nou yo kouri al kache. Li kite pitit fi nou yo tounen prizonye nan men Siyon, wa peyi Amori a.
30 And we shoot them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon, And we make desolate as far as Nophah, Which [is] as far as Medeba.”
Men koulye a, se moun lavil Esbon yo ki pèdi nèt fwa sa a! Nou mete kou sou yo depi lavil Esbon rive Dibon! Nou devaste peyi a kite l' blanch jouk Nofak, toupre Medeba.
31 And Israel dwells in the land of the Amorite,
Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin rete nan peyi Amori a.
32 and Moses sends to spy out Jaazer, and they capture its villages, and dispossess the Amorite who [is] there,
Moyiz menm voye kèk moun wè ki jan sa ye nan lavil Jazè. Apre sa, moun Izrayèl yo mache pran lavil la ak lòt ti bouk ki nan vwazinaj li. Kote yo pase, yo mete moun Amori yo deyò lakay yo.
33 and turn and go up the way of Bashan, and Og king of Bashan comes out to meet them, he and all his people, to battle [at] Edrei.
Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo tounen sou wout yo, yo pran chemen ki mennen lavil Bazan. Epi Og, wa lavil Bazan an, leve tout pèp l' a, li vin kontre ak yo pou l' atake yo bò Edreyi.
34 And YHWH says to Moses, “Do not fear him, for into your hand I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and you have done to him as you have done to Sihon king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon.”
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè msye! M'ap fè nou kraze l' anba pye nou, li menm ansanm ak tout pèp l' a. M'ap fè nou pran peyi l' la pou nou. Nou pral fè l' pase sa nou te fè Siyon, wa peyi Amori ki te rete Esbon an, pase.
35 And they strike him, and his sons, and all his people, until he has no remnant left to him, and they possess his land.
Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo touye Og, ansanm ak pitit gason l' yo ak tout pèp l' a. Yo pa kite yonn chape, yo pran tout peyi a pou yo.
