Numbers 21
1 When the Canaanite king of Arad who lived in the Negev heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
A ka rongo a Kingi Arara, te Kanaani, i noho nei ki te taha ki te tonga, e haere ana a Iharaira na te ara o Atarimi; na ka tatau ia ki a Iharaira, a whakaraua ana etahi o ratou e ia.
2 Israel vowed a vow to YHWH, and said, "If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."
Na ka puta te ki taurangi a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Ki te tukua mai e koe tenei iwi ki toku ringa ka tino whakangaromia e ahau o ratou pa.
3 YHWH listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the place was called Hormah.
A i whakarongo a Ihowa ki te reo o Iharaira, a homai ana e ia nga Kanaani; a tino whakangaromia ana ratou me o ratou pa e ratou: a huaina iho te ingoa o taua wahi ko Horema.
4 They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
Na, ka turia atu e ratou i Maunga Horo na te ara o te Moana Whero ki te taiawhio i te whenua o Eroma: a pouri noa iho te wairua o te iwi i te ara.
5 The people spoke against God, and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread."
A ka whakahe te iwi i te Atua, i a Mohi hoki, He aha i kawea mai ai matou ki runga nei i Ihipa kia mate ki te koraha? kahore nei hoki he taro, kahore he wai; a e whakarihariha ana to matou wairua ki tenei taro mama.
6 YHWH sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.
Na ka tukua mai e Ihowa he nakahi tu a ahi ki te iwi, a ka ngaua te iwi; a he tokomaha o Iharaira i mate.
7 The people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against YHWH, and against you. Pray to YHWH, that he take away the serpents from us." Moses prayed for the people.
Na ka haere te iwi ki a Mohi, ka mea, Kua hara matou i a matou i whakahe i a Ihowa, i a koe hoki; inoi ki a Ihowa kia tangohia atu e ia nga nakahi i a matou. Na ka inoi a Mohi mo te iwi.
8 YHWH said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live."
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Hanga tetahi nakahi tu a ahi mau, ka whakanoho ki te pou: na, mehemea kua ngaua tetahi, a ka titiro atu ia ki reira, ka ora.
9 Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze, he lived.
Na hanga ana e Mohi te nakahi ki te parahi, a whakanohoia ana ki te pou; na, mehemea kua ngaua tetahi e te nakahi, ka titiro ia ki te nakahi parahi, kua ora.
10 The children of Israel traveled, and camped in Oboth.
Na ka turia atu e nga tama a Iharaira, a noho ana i Opoto.
11 They traveled from Oboth, and camped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
A ka turia atu i Opoto, a noho ana i Iteaparimi, i te koraha i te ritenga atu o Moapa, whaka te rawhiti.
12 From there they traveled, and camped in the Valley of Zered.
A ka haere atu ratou i reira, a noho ana i te raorao i Terete.
13 From there they traveled, and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
Na ka turia atu i reira, a noho ana i tera taha o Aronona, o tera i te koraha e puta mai ana i nga wahi o nga Amori: ko Aronona hoki te rohe ki a Moapa, kei waenganui o Moapa, o nga Amori.
14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of YHWH, "Waheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
Koia i korerotia ai i te pukapuka o nga whawhai a Ihowa, Ko tana i mea ai ki te Moana Whero, ki nga awa hoki o Aronona,
15 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab."
Ki nga hurihanga wai ano hoki, e anga ana ki te nohoanga i Ara, e piri nei ki te rohe o Moapa.
16 From there they traveled to Beer: that is the well of which YHWH said to Moses, "Gather the people together, and I will give them water."
A i haere atu ratou i reira ki Peere: ko te puna ia i korero ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Huihuia te iwi, a maku e hoatu he wai ki a ratou.
17 Then sang Israel this song: "Spring up, well; sing to it:
Na ka waiatatia tenei waiata e Iharaira, Pupuke ake, e te puna; waiatatia:
18 the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their staffs." From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
Te puna i keria e nga rangatira, i keria e nga ariki o te iwi, ki te hepeta, a ki a ratou tokotoko. Na ka turia atu e ratou tokotoko. Na ka turia atu e ratou i te koraha ki Matana:
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
I Matana hoki ki Nahariere; a ia Nahariere ki Pamoto:
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
A i Pamoto ki te raorao i te whenua o Moapa, ki te tihi o Pihika, e titiro iho ana ki te koraha.
21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Na ka unga tangata a Iharaira ki a Hihona kingi o nga Amori, hei mea,
22 "Let me pass through your land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's highway, until we have passed your border."
Tukua atu ahau na tou whenua; e kore matou e peka ki nga mara, ki nga mara waina ranei; e kore matou e inu i te wai o nga puna: ka haere matou na te huanui o te kingi, kia pahemo ra ano ou rohe i a matou.
23 Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel.
Otiia kihai a Hihona i tuku i a Iharaira kia tika na tona wahi; na huihuia ana e Hihona tona iwi katoa, a puta mai ana ki te tu i a Iharaira ki te koraha, na ka haere ia ki Iahata: a ka tatau ia i a Iharaira.
24 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was strong.
A patua iho ia e Iharaira ki te mata o te hoari, tangohia ana e ratou tona whenua, o Aranona atu a tae noa ki Iapoko, ki nga tama ra ano a Amona: he rohe hoki e kore e taea to nga tama a Amona.
25 Israel took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its towns.
A riro ana i a Iharaira enei pa katoa: a nohoia ana e Iharaira nga pa katoa o nga Amori, a Hehepona, me ona pa ririki.
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 to the Arnon.
He pa hoki a Hehepona no Hihona kingi o nga Amori; i whawhai hoki ia ki to mua kingi o Moapa, a tangohia ana e ia tona whenua katoa i tona ringa a tae noa ki Aronona.
27 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
Koia te hunga korero whakatauki ka mea ai, Haere mai ki Hehepona, kia hanga, kia whakaungia te pa o Hihoma:
28 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, swallowed up the high places of the Arnon.
Kua puta atu hoki he ahi i Hehepona, he mura i te pa o Hihona: a pau ake a Ara o Moapa, me nga ariki o nga wahi tiketike o Aranona.
29 Woe to you, Moab. You are undone, people of Chemosh. He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.
Aue te mate mou, e Moapa! ka ngaro koe, e te iwi o Kemoho: kua hoatu e ia ana tama i rere morehu, me ana tamahine, hei pononga ma Hihona, ma te kingi o nga Amori.
30 And we shot at them. Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. And we have laid waste as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba."
I kopere atu matou ki a ratou; kua ngaro a Hehepona, tae noa ki Ripono, kua huna e matou tae noa ki Nopa e totoro atu nei ki Merepa.
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
Na ka noho a Iharaira ki te whenua o nga Amori.
32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its towns, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
A ka tono tangata a Mohi ki te tutei i Iatere, a ka riro i a ratou nga pa o reira, i pana hoki nga Amori e noho ana i reira.
33 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 battle at Edrei.
Na ka tahuri ratou, a ka haere ki runga na te ara o Pahana: na ko te putanga mai o Oka kingi o Pahana, ki te whakatutaki i a ratou, a ia, me tona iwi katoa ki te whawhai ki Eterei.
34 YHWH said to Moses, "Do not fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Kei wehi i a ia; kua hoatu hoki ia e ahau ki tou ringa, me tona iwi katoa, me tona whenua; a ka rite tau e mea ai ki a ia ki tau i mea ai ki a Hihona kingi o nga Amori i noho ra i Hehepona.
35 So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
Na patua iho ia e ratou, me ana tama, me tona iwi katoa, a kore noa e toe tetahi morehu ona: a tangohia ana e ratou tona whenua.
