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.
Ko je kralj Arád, Kánaanec, ki je prebival na jugu, slišal govorico, da je Izrael prišel po poti oglednikov, potem se je bojeval zoper Izrael in nekatere izmed njih prijel kot jetnike.
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”;
Izrael se je zaobljubil Gospodu in rekel: »Če zares hočeš to ljudstvo izročiti v mojo roko, potem bom popolnoma uničil njihova mesta.«
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.
Gospod je prisluhnil Izraelovemu glasu in izročil Kánaance, in popolnoma so jih uničili in njihova mesta in ime kraja je imenoval Horma.
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,
Odpotovali so z gore Hor po poti Rdečega morja, da obidejo deželo Edóm in duša ljudstva je zaradi poti zelo izgubila pogum.
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.”
Ljudstvo je govorilo zoper Boga in zoper Mojzesa: »Zakaj sta nas privedla gor iz Egipta, da umremo v divjini? Kajti tukaj ni kruha niti tukaj ni nobene vode in naši duši se gabi ta lahek kruh.«
6 And YHWH sends the burning serpents among the people, and they bite the people, and many people of Israel die;
Gospod pa je med ljudstvo poslal ognjene kače in te so pikale ljudstvo in mnogo Izraelovega ljudstva je umrlo.
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.
Zato je ljudstvo prišlo k Mojzesu in reklo: »Grešili smo, kajti govorili smo zoper Gospoda in zoper tebe. Moli h Gospodu, da kače odvzame od nas.« In Mojzes je molil za ljudstvo.
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.”
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Naredi si ognjeno kačo in jo obesi na kol, in zgodilo se bo, da vsak, kdor je pičen, ko pogleda nanjo, bo živel.«
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.
Mojzes je naredil kačo iz brona in jo obesil na kol in pripetilo se je, da če je kateregakoli človeka pičila kača, ko je pogledal kačo iz brona, je živel.
10 And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in Oboth.
Izraelovi otroci so se namerili naprej in se utaborili v Obótu.
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.
In odpotovali so iz Obóta in se utaborili pri Ijé Abarímu, v divjini, ki je pred Moábom, proti sončnemu vzhodu.
12 From there they have journeyed and encamp in the Valley of Zared.
Od tam so odrinili in se utaborili v dolini Zared.
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;
Od tam so odrinili in se utaborili na drugi strani Arnóna, ki je v divjini, ki prihaja iz pokrajin Amoréjcev, kajti Arnón je Moábova meja med Moábom in Amoréjci.
14 therefore it is said in [the] scroll of the Wars of YHWH: “Waheb in Suphah, And the brooks of Arnon;
Zato je rečeno v knjigi Gospodovih vojn: »Kaj je storil v Rdečem morju in v potokih Arnóna
15 And the spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the dwelling of Ar, And has leaned to the border of Moab.”
in pri vodotoku potokov, ki gredo dol k prebivališču Ar in leži na Moábovi meji.«
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.”
In od tam so odšli v Beêr, to je vodnjak, o katerem je Gospod govoril Mojzesu: »Zberi skupaj ljudstvo in jaz jim bom dal vodo.«
17 Then Israel sings this song: “Spring up, O well, Let all answer to it!
Potem je Izrael zapel to pesem: »Izviraj, o vodnjak. Pojte mu.
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,
Princi so kopáli vodnjak, kopáli so ga plemiči izmed ljudstva, po navodilih postavodajalca, s svojimi palicami.« In iz divjine so odšli k Matánu,
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
in od Matána v Nahaliél, in iz Nahaliéla v Bamót,
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.
in iz Bamóta v dolino, ki je v moábski deželi, do vrha Pisge, ki gleda proti Ješimonu.
21 And Israel sends messengers to Sihon king of the Amorite, saying,
Izrael je poslal poslance k Sihónu, kralju Amoréjcev, rekoč:
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.”
»Pusti mi iti skozi tvojo deželo. Ne bomo se obrnili v polja ali v vinograde; ne bomo pili od vodá iz vodnjaka, temveč bomo šli vzdolž po kraljevi visoki poti, dokler ne bomo prešli tvojih mej.«
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.
Sihón pa ni hotel trpeti, da gre Izrael skozi njegove meje, temveč je Sihón zbral vse ljudstvo in odšel ven zoper Izrael v divjino in prišel v Jahac in se bojeval zoper Izrael.
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.
Izrael pa ga je udaril z ostrino meča in vzel v last njegovo deželo od Arnóna do Jabóka, celo do Amónovih otrok, kajti meja Amónovih otrok je bila trdna.
25 And Israel takes all these cities, and Israel dwells in all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon and in all its villages;
Izrael je zavzel vsa ta mesta in Izrael je prebival v vseh mestih Amoréjcev v Hešbónu in v vseh njegovih vaseh.
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;
Kajti Hešbón je bil mesto amoréjskega kralja Sihóna, ki se je bojeval zoper prejšnjega moábskega kralja in je vso njegovo deželo vzel iz njegove roke, celo do Arnóna.
27 therefore those using allegories say: “Enter Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,
Zato tisti, ki govorijo v pregovorih, pravijo: »Pridite v Hešbón, naj bo Sihónovo mesto zgrajeno in pripravljeno,
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.
kajti ogenj je odšel iz Hešbóna, plamen iz mesta Sihón. Ta je použil Ar Moáb in gospodarje visokih krajev Arnóna.
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!
Gorje tebi, Moáb! Uničeno si, oh ljudstvo Kemoša. Svojim sinovom je dal, da pobegnejo in svoje hčere v ujetništvo Sihónu, kralju Amoréjcev.
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.”
Streljali smo nanje, Hešbón je uničen celo do Dibóna in opustošili smo jih celo do Nofa, ki sega do Médebe.«
31 And Israel dwells in the land of the Amorite,
Tako je Izrael prebival v deželi Amoréjcev.
32 and Moses sends to spy out Jaazer, and they capture its villages, and dispossess the Amorite who [is] there,
In Mojzes je poslal, da ogledajo Jaazêr in zavzeli so njegove vasi in napodili Amoréjce, ki so bili tam.
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.
In obrnili so se ter odšli gor, po poti Bašána in bašánski kralj Og je odšel ven zoper njih, on in vse njegovo ljudstvo, da se bojujejo pri Edréi.
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.”
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Ne boj se ga, kajti izročil sem ga v tvojo roko in vse njegovo ljudstvo in njegovo deželo in storil mu boš, kakor si storil Sihónu, kralju Amoréjcev, ki je prebival pri Hešbónu.«
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.
Tako so udarili njega, njegove sinove in vse njegovo ljudstvo, dokler nihče ni ostal živ, in njegovo deželo vzeli v last.
