< Numbers 21 >

1 And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, which dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
Ary raha ren’ ilay Kananita, mpanjakan’ i Arada, izay nonina teo amin’ ny tany atsimo, fa efa mandeha amin’ ny lalana mankany Atarima ny Isiraely, dia niady taminy izy, ka nentiny ho babo ny sasany tamin’ ny Isiraely.
2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
Dia nivoady tamin’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Raha hatolotrao eo an-tananay tokoa ity firenena ity, dia hataonay levona avokoa ny tanànany.
3 And the LORD hearkened 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.
Ary Jehovah nihaino ny feon’ ny Isiraely ka dia natolony azy ny Kananita: ary dia nataon’ ny Isiraely levona izy sy ny tanànany; koa ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia natao hoe Horma.
4 And they journeyed 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.
Ary niala tany an-tendrombohitra Hora izy ka nahazo ny lalana mankany amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena hanodidina ny tany Edoma; dia kivy ny fanahin’ ny olona noho ny lalana.
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, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
Ary niteny nanome tsiny an’ Andriamanitra sy Mosesy ny olona ka nanao hoe: Nahoana no nentinao niakatra avy tany Egypta amin’ ny lalan’ ny mpisafo-tany izahay ho faty atỳ an-efitra? fa tsy misy mofo na rano atỳ ary mahamonamonaina ny fanahinay itony mofomofo foana itony.
6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Ary Jehovah dia nampandeha ny menaran’ afo teny amin’ ny olona, ka nanaikitra ny olona ireny; dia nahafatesana be ny olona Isiraely.
7 And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
Dia nankeo amin’ i Mosesy ny olona ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota izahay, fa efa niteny nanome tsiny an’ i Jehovah sy ianao. Ifony amin’ i Jehovah izahay mba hanesorany ny menarana aminay. Dia nifona ho an’ ny olona Mosesy.
8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live.
Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Manaova menaran’ afo, ka ahantòny amin’ ny hazo lava, ary izay rehetra voakaikitra dia ho velona, raha mijery izany.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.
Dia nanao menarana varahina Mosesy ka nanantona azy tamin’ ny hazo lava; ary izay olona voakaikitry ny menarana ka nijery ilay menarana varahina dia velona.
10 And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched in Oboth.
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nifindra ka nitoby tao Obota.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
Ary nony niala tao Obota, izy, dia nitoby tao Ie-abarima, tany amin’ ny efitra izay mifanolotra amin’ i Moaba, tandrifin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro.
12 From thence they journeyed, and pitched in the valley of Zered.
Ary nony niala tao izy, dia nitoby tao amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda.
13 From thence they journeyed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
Ary nony niala tao izy, dia nitoby tao an-dafin’ i Arnona, izay any an-efitra sady avy amin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Amorita; fa Arnona no fari-tanin’ ny Moabita, eo anelanelan’ ny Moabita sy ny Amorita.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the LORD, Vaheb in Suphah, And the valleys of Arnon,
Koa izany no ilazana eo amin’ ny Bokin’ ny Adin’ i Jehovah hoe: Vaheba any Sofa sy ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona,
15 And the slope of the valleys That inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar, And leaneth upon the border of Moab.
Ary ny tany kisolosolo amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka, izay mandroso mankeo amin’ ny tanin’ i Ara ka mipaka amin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Moaba.
16 And from thence [they journeyed] to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD said unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
Ary niala tao izy hankany Bera, dia ilay lavaka fantsakana nilazan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy hoe: Angony ny olona, fa homeko rano izy.
17 Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
Dia nihira izao fihirana izao ny Isiraely: Miboiboiha, ry lavaka fantsakana! Ataovinareo an-kira izy;
18 The well, which the princes digged, Which the nobles of the people delved, With the sceptre, [and] with their staves. And from the wilderness [they journeyed] to Mattanah:
Lavaka fantsakana izay nohadin’ ireo mpanao lalàna, ary nolavahan’ ireo manan-kaja amin’ ny firenena. Tamin’ ny tehiny, dia ny tehina fanapahana. Ary nony niala tany an-efitra izy, dia nankao Matana.
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
Ary nony niala tao Matana izy, dia nankao Nahaliela; ary nony niala tao Nahaliela izy, dia nankao Bamota;
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert.
ary nony niala tao Bamota izy, dia nankany an-dohasaha izay ao amin’ ny tany Moaba, ao an-tampon’ i Pisga, izay manatrika ny efitra.
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Ary ny Isiraely naniraka olona ho any amin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, hanao hoe:
22 Let me pass through thy 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 [high] way, until we have passed thy border.
Aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao izahay, fa tsy hania ho amin’ ny saha na ho amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka izahay, ary tsy hisotro ny rano amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana; ny lalan’ andriana ihany no halehanay mandra-pahafakay ny fari-taninao.
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 came to Jahaz: and he fought against Israel.
Nefa Sihona tsy namela ny Isiraely handeha hamaky ny taniny, fa nanangona ny vahoakany rehetra izy ka nivoaka avy tany an-efitra hihaona amin’ ny Isiraely, dia nankany Jahaza; ary niady tamin’ ny Isiraely teo izy.
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.
Ary ny Isiraely namely azy tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra ka nahazo ny taniny hatrany Amona ka hatrany Jaboka, dia hatramin’ ny taranak’ i Amona; fa mafy ny fari-tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns thereof.
Dia nalain’ ny Isiraely izany tanàna rehetra izany; ary nonenany ny tanànan’ ny Amorita rehetra, dia Hesbona sy ny zana-bohiny rehetra.
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.
Hesbona no tanànan’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay efa nanafika ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba taloha, ka efa nalainy taminy avokoa ny taniny rehetra hatrany Arnona.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come ye to Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and established:
Izany no nanaovan’ ny mpanao oha-teny hoe: Midìra ao Hesbona ianareo; aoka hamboarina sy hatao mafy ny tanànan’ i Sihona;
28 For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon: It hath devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of Arnon.
Fa nisy afo nivoaka avy tao Hesbona, sy lelafo avy tao an-tanànan’ i Sihona, Ka nandevona an’ i Aran’ i Moaba sy ny tompon’ ny havoan’ i Arnona.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! Thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: He hath given his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, Unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
Lozanao, ry Moaba! Ringana ianao, ry olon’ i Kemosy! Foiny handositra ny zananilahy, ary navelany ho babo ny zananivavy, ho an’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, And we have laid waste even unto Nophah, Which [reacheth] unto Medeba.
Notifirintsika izy; ringana Hesbona hatrany Dibona; nofoanantsika izy hatrany Nofa, izay mipaka an’ i Medeba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
Dia nitoetra tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Amorita ny Isiraely.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they took the towns thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
Ary Mosesy naniraka olona hisafo an’ i Jazera; ary ny Isiraely dia nahafaka ny zana-bohiny ka nandroaka ny Amorita izay tany.
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 battle at Edrei.
Ary niverina ny olona ka niakatra tamin’ ny lalana mankany Basana; dia nivoaka Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana, hihaona aminy, dia izy sy ny vahoakany rehetra, hiady tao Edrehy.
34 And the LORD 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.
Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Aza matahotra azy ianao, fa efa natolotro eo an-tananao izy sy ny vahoakany rehetra ary ny taniny; ary ianao hanao aminy araka izay nataonao tamin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay nitoetra tao Hesbona.
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
Dia namely azy sy ny zananilahy ary ny vahoakany rehetra izy, ka tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza; dia nahazo ny taniny izy.
