Numbers 21
1 The king of Arad [city] lived in the area where the Canaan people-group lived, in the desert in the southern part of the land. He heard a report that the Israelis were approaching on the road to Atharim [village]. So his army attacked the Israelis and captured some of them.
A LOHE ae la ke alii o Arada ka Kanaana, e noho ana ma ke kukuluhema, e hele mai ana ka Iseraela ma ke ala e hiki ai i na wahi ona, alaila, kaua mai la ia i ka Iseraela, a lawe pio aku la i kekahi poe o lakou.
2 Then the Israelis solemnly vowed: “Yahweh, if you will help us to defeat these people, we will completely destroy all their towns.”
Hoohiki aku la ka Iseraela ia Iehova, i aku la, Ina paha e haawi mai oe i keia poe kanaka iloko o ko'u lima, alaila e luku loa aku no au i na kulanakauhale o lakou.
3 Yahweh heard what they requested, and he enabled them to defeat the army of the Canaan people-group. The Israeli soldiers killed all the people and destroyed their towns. [Ever since that time], that place has been called Hormah [which means ‘destruction’].
Hoolohe mai la o Iehova i ka leo o ka Iseraela, a hoolilo mai la i ka poe Kanaana: a luku loa aku la lakou ia lakou la, a me na kulanakauhale o lakou; a kapa aku la ia i ka inoa o ia wahi o Horema.
4 Then the Israelis left Hor Mountain and traveled on the road towards the Red Sea, in order to go around [the land of] Edom. But the people became impatient along the way,
Hele aku la lakou mai ke kuahiwi o Hora aku, ma ke alanui o ke Kaiula, e puni i ka aina o Edoma: a ua pau ke aho o na kanaka no ke alanui.
5 and they began to grumble/complain against God and against Moses/me. They said, “Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die here in this desert [RHQ]? There is nothing to eat here, and nothing to drink. And we detest this lousy [manna] food!”
Olelo ino aku la na kanaka i ke Akua, a ia Mose, No ke aha la olua i kai mai nei ia makou mailoko mai o Aigupita e make ma ka waonahele? no ka mea, aohe berena, aole hoi ho wai; a ke hoopailua nei ko makou naau i keia ai mama.
6 So Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among them. Many of the people were bitten by the snakes and died.
Hoouna mai la o Iehova i na nahesa wela iwaena o na kanaka, a nahu mai la lakou i na kanaka; a he nui na kanaka o ka Iseraela i make.
7 Then the people came to Moses/me and cried out, saying, “We [now know that we] have sinned against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh, asking that he will take away the snakes!” So Moses/I prayed for the people.
No ia mea, hele mai la na kanaka io Mose la, i mai la, Ua haua hewa makou; no ka mea, ua olelo ino aku makou ia Iehova a ia oe: e pule aku oe ia Iehova, e lawe aku ia i na nahesa mai o makou aku nei. A pule aku la o Mose no na kanaka.
8 Then Yahweh told him/me, “Make a model/image of a poisonous snake, and attach it to the top of a pole. If those who are bitten by the snakes look at that model, they will (recover/get well).”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E hana oe nau i nahesa wela, a e kau aku ia maluna o ka laau, a o kela mea keia mea i nahuia, i ka wa e nana aku ai oia ia mea, e ola no ia.
9 So Moses/I made a snake from bronze and attached it to the top of a pole. Then, when those who had been bitten by a snake looked at the bronze snake, they recovered!
A hana iho la o Mose i nahesa keleawe, a kau aku la ia maluna o ka laau; a o ke kanaka i nahuia i ka nahesa wela, i ka wa i nana aku ai oia i ka nahesa keleawe, ua ola ia.
10 Then the Israelis traveled to Oboth and (camped/set up their tents) there.
A hele aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a hoomoana iho la ma Obota.
11 Then they left there, and went to Iye-Abarim, in the desert on the eastern border of Moab.
A hele lakou mai Obota aku, a hoomoana iho la ma Iieabarima, i ka waonahele ma ke alo o Moaba, ma ka hikina o ka la.
12 From there they traveled to the valley where the Zered riverbed is, and camped there.
Mailaila aku lakou i hele ai, a hoomoana iho la ma ke kahawai o Zareda.
13 Then they traveled to the north side of the Arnon [River]. That area is in the desert next to the land where the Amor people-group lived. The Arnon [River] is the boundary between Moab and where the Amor people-group lived.
Mailaila aku lakou i hele ai, a hoomoana iho la ma hela aoao o Arenona, ma ka waonahele e hele mai ana mailoko mai o na palena o ka Amora; no ka mea, o Arenona oia ka palena o Moaba, mawaena o Moaba a me ka Amora.
14 That is why in the book called ‘The Book of the Wars of Yahweh’ it tells about “Waheb [town] in the Suphah area, and the ravines there; and the Arnon [River]
Nolaila, ua olelo ia maloko o ka buke o na kaua a Iehova, ma Vaheba ma Supa, a ma na kahawai o Arenona,
15 and the ravines there, which extend as far as Ar [village] on the border of Moab.”
A ma ke kahe ana o na kahawai, ka mea hele ma ka noho ana o Ara, a moe iho ma ka palena o Moaba.
16 From there, the Israelis traveled to Beer. There was a well there, where Yahweh previously had said to Moses/me, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
Mailaila aku lakou a Beera; oia ka punawai kahi a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Mose, E hoakoakoa i na kanaka, a e haawi aku no wau i wai no lakou.
17 There the Israelis sang this song: “O well, give us water! Sing about this well!
Alaila mele aku la ka Iseraela i keia mele, E huahuai mai, e ka punawai; E mele aku oukou ia ia:
18 Sing about this well which our leaders dug; they dug out [the dirt] with their royal scepters and their walking sticks.” Then the Israelis left that desert and went through Mattanah,
O na luna ka i kohi iho i ka punawai, O na'lii o na kanaka i eli iho ia, Mamuli o ka Lunakanawai, me na kookoo o lakou. A mai ka waonahele aku lakou a Matana;
19 Nahaliel, and Bamoth [villages].
A mai Matana aku a Nahaliela; a mai Nahaliela aku a Bamota:
20 Then they went to the valley in Moab where Pisgah [Mountain] rises above the desert.
A mai Bamota aku lakou a i ke awawa ma ke kula o Moaba, malalo o ka puu o Pisega, ma ka aoao e huli ana i ka waonahele.
21 Then the Israelis sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. This was the message [that they/we gave him]:
Hoouna aku la ka Iseraela i na elele io Sihona la ke alii o ka Amora, i aku la,
22 “Allow us to travel through your country. We will stay on the king’s highway, [the main road that goes from the south to the north], until we have finished traveling through your land. We will not walk through any field or vineyard, or drink water from your wells.”
E ae mai oe e hele aku wau mawaena o kou aina: aole makou e kipa ma na mahinaai, aole hoi ma na pawaina: aole makou e inu i ka wai o ka punawai; e hele aku no makou ma ke alanui o ke alii, a hala aku la makou mai kou mau palena aku.
23 But King Sihon refused. He would not allow them to walk through his land. Instead, he sent his whole army to attack the Israelis in the desert. They attacked the Israelis at Jahaz [village].
Aole no i ae mai o Sihona e hele aku ka Iseraela mawaena o kona mau palena: aku, hoakoakoa ae la o Sihona i kona poe kanaka a pau, a hele aku la iloko o ka waonahele e ku e i ka Iseraela: a hele mai la ia i Iahaza, a kaua mai la i ka Iseraela.
24 But the Israelis completely defeated them and occupied their land, from the Arnon [River in the south] to the Jabbok [River in the north]. They stopped at the border of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, because [the Ammon army was defending] the border strongly.
Luku aku la ka Iseraela la ia i ka pahikaua, a komo aku la i kona aina mai Arenona a Iaboka, a hiki i na mamo a Amona: no ka mea, ua paa ka palena o na mamo a Amona.
25 So the Israelis occupied all the cities and towns where the Amor people-group lived, and some of the Israelis began to live in them. They occupied Heshbon [city] and the nearby villages.
Lawe pio ae la ka Iseraela i keia mau kulanakauhale a pau: a noho iho la ka Iseraela ma na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Amora, i Hesebona, a i na kauhale a pau o ia wahi.
26 Heshbon was the capital of the country. It was the city where King Sihon ruled. His army had previously defeated the army of the king of Moab, and then his people had begun to live in all of the land of Moab as far as the Arnon [River in the south].
No ka mea, o Hesebona ke kulanakauhale o Sihona ke alii o ka Amora, nana i kaua aku mamua i ke alii o Moaba, a lawe ae la i kona aina a pau mai kona lima aku, a hiki i Arenona.
27 For that reason, one of the poets wrote long ago, “Come to Heshbon, the city where King Sihon [ruled]. We want the city to be restored/rebuilt.
No ia mea, i mai la na hakumele, E hele oukou iloko o Hesebona, e hana hou ia Ke kulanakauhale o Sihona e hookumuia:
28 A fire blazed from Heshbon; it burned down Ar [city] in Moab, it destroyed [everything on] the hills along the Arnon [River].
No ka mea, mai Hesebona i hele aku ai ke ahi, He lapalapa ahi ma ke kulanakauhale o Sihona aku: Ua hoopau oia ia Ara o Moaba, A me na haku o na wahi kiekie o Arenona.
29 You people of Moab, terrible things have happened to you! You people who [worship your god] Chemosh have been (annihilated/wiped out)! The men who [worshiped] [MET] Chemosh have run away and are now refugees, and the women [who worshiped him] have been captured by [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group.
Auwe oe, e Moaba! ua make no oe! E na kanaka o Kemosa! Ua haawi aku ia i kana mau keikikane i pakele, A me kana mau kaikamahine, i poe pio No ke alii o ka Amora, no Sihona.
30 But we have defeated [Sihon and] those descendants of Amor, all the way from Heshbon [in the north] to Dibon [city in the south]. We have completely obliterated/destroyed them as far as Nophah and Medeba [towns].”
Ua pana pua aku makou ia lakou; Ua lukuia o Hesebona a hiki i Dibona, Ua hooneoneo makou a hiki aku i Nopa, A hiki hoi i Medeba.
31 So the Israeli people began to live in the land where the Amor people-group lived.
A noho iho la ka Iseraela ma ka aina o ka Amora.
32 After Moses/I sent some men to explore the area near Jazer [city], Israeli people began to live in all the towns in that region and expelled the Amor people-group who lived there.
A hoouna aku la o Mose e makaikai ia Iaazera, a komo lakou i na kulanakauhale o ia wahi, a hookuke aku la i ka Amora malaila.
33 Then they turned [north] toward the Bashan region, but King Og of Bashan and all his army attacked them at Edrei [town].
Haliu ae la lakou, a pii aku la ma ke alanui o Basana: a hele mai la o Oga ke alii o Basana e ku e mai ia lakou, oia a me kona poe kanaka a pau, i ke kaua ma Ederei.
34 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Do not be afraid of Og, because I am going to enable your men to defeat him and his army, and to take possession of all his land. You will do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon.”
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Mai makau oe ia ia; no ka mea, ua haawi aku no wau ia ia iloko o kou lima, me kona kanaka a pau, a me kona aina: a e hana aku oe ia ia me kau i hana aku ai ia Sihona ke alii o ka Amora i noho ma Hesebona.
35 And that is what happened. We Israelis defeated Og’s army, and killed King Og and his sons and all his people. Not a person survived! And then we Israelis began to live in their land.
A luku aku la lakou ia ia, me kana mau keikikane, a me kona poe kanaka a pau, aole i koe kekahi e ola ana nona: a komo aku la lakou i kona aina.
