< Numbers 21 >

1 And he heard the Canaanite [the] king of Arad [who] dwelt the Negev that it had come Israel [the] way of the Atharim and he engaged in battle against Israel and he took captive - some of it captive[s].
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa mũthamaki Mũkaanani wa Aradi, ũrĩa watũũraga Negevu, aiguire atĩ Isiraeli nĩokagĩra njĩra ya Atharimu, agĩthiĩ agĩtharĩkĩra andũ a Isiraeli, na agĩtaha amwe ao.
2 And it vowed Israel a vow to Yahweh and it said certainly [if] you will give the people this in hand my and I will totally destroy cities their.
Nao andũ Isiraeli makĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ harĩ Jehova makiuga atĩrĩ: “Ũngĩneana andũ aya moko-inĩ maitũ-rĩ, nĩtũkananga matũũra mao marĩa manene biũ.”
3 And he listened Yahweh to [the] voice of Israel and he delivered up the Canaanite[s] and it totally destroyed them and cities their and someone called [the] name of the place Hormah.
Nake Jehova akĩigua ihooya rĩa andũ a Isiraeli na akĩneana andũ acio a Kaanani kũrĩ o. Nao makĩananga andũ acio biũ hamwe na matũũra mao; nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Horoma.
4 And they set out from Hor the mountain [the] direction of [the] sea of reed[s] to go around [the] land of Edom and it became short [the] self of the people on the way.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩnyiita rũgendo kuuma Kĩrĩma kĩa Horu magereire njĩra ya gũthiĩ Iria Itune, nĩguo mathiũrũrũke bũrũri wa Edomu. No andũ acio magĩthethũka marĩ njĩra-inĩ;
5 And it spoke the people against God and against Moses why? have you brought up us from Egypt to die in the wilderness for there not [is] food and there not [is] water and self our it loathes the food worthless.
nao magĩũkĩrĩra Ngai o na Musa na mĩario makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwatũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri tũũke tũkuĩre gũkũ werũ-inĩ nĩkĩ? Gũkũ gũtirĩ irio! Na gũtirĩ maaĩ! O na nĩtũthũire irio ici itarĩ kĩene!”
6 And he sent Yahweh among the people the snakes the saraphs and they bit the people and it died a people numerous from Israel.
Nake Jehova akĩmatũmĩra nyoka ciarĩ na thumu; ikĩrũma andũ a Isiraeli, na aingĩ ao magĩkua.
7 And it came the people to Moses and they said we have sinned for we have spoken against Yahweh and against you pray to Yahweh so may he remove from on us the snake[s] and he prayed Moses for the people.
Andũ acio magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Musa makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwehirie rĩrĩa twaaririe tũgĩũkĩrĩra Jehova hamwe nawe. Hooya nĩguo Jehova atwehererie nyoka ici.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩhoera andũ acio.
8 And he said Yahweh to Moses make for yourself a saraph and put it on a standard and it will be every [one who] is bitten and he will see it and he will live.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thondeka nyoka ũmĩcuurie gĩtugĩ igũrũ; mũndũ o wothe ũrĩĩrũmagwo-rĩ, aamĩrora nĩarĩtũũraga muoyo.”
9 And he made Moses a snake of bronze and he put it on the standard and it was if it had bitten the snake anyone and he looked to [the] snake of bronze and he lived.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩthondeka nyoka ya gĩcango, akĩmĩcuuria gĩtugĩ igũrũ. Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe aarũmwo nĩ nyoka na aarora nyoka ĩyo ya gĩcango, agatũũra muoyo.
10 And they set out [the] people of Israel and they encamped in Oboth.
Andũ a Isiraeli makiumagara, magĩthiĩ makĩamba hema ciao Obothu.
11 And they set out from Oboth and they encamped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness which [is] on [the] face of Moab from [the] rising of the sun.
Ningĩ makiuma Obothu magĩthiĩ Iye-Abarimu, makĩamba hema ciao werũ-inĩ ũrĩa ũngʼethanĩire na Moabi mwena wa irathĩro.
12 From there they set out and they encamped in [the] wadi of Zered.
Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ na mbere, makĩamba hema ciao Kĩanda kĩa Zeredi.
13 From there they set out and they encamped from [the] other side of Arnon which [is] in the wilderness which goes out from [the] border of the Amorite[s] that Arnon [is] [the] border of Moab between Moab and between the Amorite[s].
Moimagara kuuma kũu makĩamba hema kũrigania na Rũũĩ rwa Arinoni, kũu werũ ũrĩa ũthiĩte nginya bũrũri wa Aamori; nĩgũkorwo Rũũĩ rwa Arinoni nĩruo rwarĩ mũhaka wa Moabi na Aamori.
14 There-fore it is said in [the] book of [the] wars of Yahweh Waheb in Suphah and the wadis Arnon.
Na nĩkĩo Ibuku rĩa Mbaara cia Jehova riugĩte atĩrĩ: “… Wahebu thĩinĩ wa Sufa, na mĩkuru, Arinoni
15 And [the] slope of the wadis which it extends to [the] dwelling of Ar and it leans to [the] border of Moab.
na igaragaro-inĩ cia mĩkuru ĩrĩa ithiĩte o nginya kũu Ari, na ĩgatwarana na mũhaka wa Moabi.”
16 And from there Beer towards that [is] the well which he said Yahweh to Moses gather the people so let me give to them water.
Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ na mbere nginya kũu Biri, gĩthima-inĩ harĩa Jehova erire Musa atĩrĩ, “Cookereria andũ hamwe na nĩngũmahe maaĩ.”
17 Then it sang Israel the song this spring up O well sing of it.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Isiraeli makĩina rwĩmbo rũrũ: “Therũka maaĩ, wee gĩthima gĩkĩ! Inyuĩ na inyuĩ inai ũhoro wakĩo,
18 A well [which] they dug it [the] leaders [which] they dug it [the] noble [people] of the people with a ruler's staff with staffs their and from [the] wilderness Mattanah.
ũhoro wa gĩthima kĩrĩa anene menjete, kĩrĩa gĩathikũririo nĩ andũ arĩa marĩ igweta, andũ arĩa marĩ igweta marĩ na njũgũma cia ũnene na mĩthĩĩgi yao.” Ningĩ makiuma werũ-inĩ magĩthiĩ Matana,
19 And from Mattanah Nahaliel and from Nahaliel Bamoth.
kuuma Matana magĩthiĩ Nahalieli, kuuma Nahalieli magĩthiĩ Bamothu,
20 And from Bamoth the valley which [is] in [the] region of Moab [the] top of Pisgah and it looked down over [the] face of the desolate place.
na kuuma Bamothu magĩthiĩ kĩanda kĩa Moabi, kũrĩa gacũmbĩrĩ ka Pisiga kangʼetheire werũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ kĩndũ.
21 And it sent Israel messengers to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] saying.
Isiraeli nĩatũmire andũ kũrĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori makamwĩre atĩrĩ:
22 Let me pass in land your not we will turn aside in a field and in a vineyard not we will drink water of a well on [the] way of the king we will go until that we will pass through territory your.
“Twĩtĩkĩrie tũtuĩkanĩrie bũrũri wanyu. Tũtigũtoonya mĩgũnda yanyu ya irio, kana ya mĩthabibũ, kana tũnyue maaĩ kuuma gĩthima o na kĩmwe. Tũkũgerera njĩra ĩrĩa nene ya mũthamaki o nginya tũtuĩkanie bũrũri wanyu.”
23 And not he permitted Sihon Israel to pass in territory his and he gathered Sihon all people his and he went out to meet Israel the wilderness towards and he came Jahaz towards and he engaged in battle against Israel.
No Mũthamaki Sihoni akĩgiria andũ a Isiraeli mahĩtũkĩre bũrũri wake. We onganirie mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, akiumagara agĩthiĩ werũ-inĩ agatharĩkĩre andũ a Isiraeli. Rĩrĩa aakinyire Jahazu-rĩ, akĩhũũrana na andũ a Isiraeli.
24 And it struck him Israel to [the] mouth of [the] sword and it took possession of land his from Arnon to Jabbok to [the] descendants of Ammon for [was] strong [the] border of [the] descendants of Ammon.
No andũ a Isiraeli makĩmooraga na hiũ cia njora na magĩtunya mũthamaki ũcio bũrũri wake kuuma Arinoni nginya Jaboku, no maakinyire o mũhaka-inĩ wa andũ a Amoni, tondũ warĩ mũirige na hinya mũno.
25 And it took Israel all the cities these and it dwelt Israel in all [the] cities of the Amorite[s] in Heshbon and in all daughters its.
Isiraeli agĩtunya Aamori matũũra mothe mao marĩa manene na magĩtũũra kuo, o hamwe na Heshiboni na tũtũũra tuothe tũrĩa twarigainie nakuo.
26 For Heshbon [was] [the] city of Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] it and he he had waged war against [the] king of Moab former and he had taken all land his from hand his to Arnon.
Heshiboni nĩrĩo rĩarĩ itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa warũĩte na mũthamaki wa Moabi ũrĩa waathanaga mbere ĩyo, na akamũtunya bũrũri wake wothe o nginya Arinoni.
27 There-fore they say those [who] speak proverbs come Heshbon let it be rebuilt and it may be established [the] city of Sihon.
Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga aini a marebeta moige atĩrĩ: “Ũkaai Heshiboni nĩgeetha rĩakwo rĩngĩ; itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni nĩrĩcokererio.
28 For fire it went out from Heshbon flame from [the] town of Sihon it consumed Ar of Moab [the] citizens of [the] high places of Arnon.
“Mwaki nĩwoimire kũu Heshiboni, rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũkiuma itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni. Ũkĩniina itũũra rĩa Ari Moabi, o atũũri a kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwa Arinoni.
29 Woe! to you O Moab you have perished O people of Chemosh he has made sons his fugitives and daughters his in captivity of [the] king of [the] Amorite[s] Sihon.
Kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro, wee Moabi-ĩ! Inyuĩ andũ a Kemoshu! Kaĩ mũrĩ aanange-ĩ. Nĩarekereirie ariũ ake magatuĩka eethari, o na airĩtu ake akĩmarekereria matahwo nĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori.
30 And we shot at them it has perished Heshbon to Dibon and we have devastated to Nophah which [is] to Medeba.
“No ithuĩ nĩtũmangʼaũranĩtie; Heshiboni kwanangĩtwo guothe nginya o Diboni. Tũmamomorete tũgakinya Nofa, itũũra rĩrĩa rĩkuhanĩrĩirie na Medeba.”
31 And it dwelt Israel in [the] land of the Amorite[s].
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũũra bũrũri ũcio wa Aamori.
32 And he sent Moses to spy out Jazer and they captured daughters its (and it dispossessed *Q(K)*) the Amorite[s] who [was] there.
Thuutha wa Musa gũtũma andũ magathigaane Jazeri, andũ a Isiraeli magĩtunyana tũtũũra tũrĩa twarigiicĩirie itũũra rĩu, na makĩingata Aamori arĩa maarĩ kuo.
33 And they turned and they went up [the] direction of Bashan and he went out Og [the] king of Bashan to meet them he and all people his for battle Edrei.
Ningĩ makĩgarũrũka, makĩambata na njĩra marorete Bashani, nake Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita makiumagara makahũũrane na Isiraeli kũu Edirei.
34 And he said Yahweh to Moses may not you fear him for in hand your I have given him and all people his and land his and you will do to him just as you did to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] who [was] dwelling in Heshbon.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ndũkamwĩtigĩre, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩmũneanĩte moko-inĩ maku, hamwe na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, o na bũrũri wake. Mwĩke o ũrĩa wekire Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa waathanaga Heshiboni.”
35 And they struck down him and sons his and all people his until not he had left to him a survivor and they took possession of land his.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩũraga Mũthamaki Ogu hamwe na ariũ ake, o na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, mategũtigia mũndũ o na ũmwe muoyo. Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩgwatĩra bũrũri wake.
