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.
Idi nadamag ti ari iti Arad a Cananeo nga agnanaed idiay Negev, nga agdaldaliasat dagiti Israelita iti kalsada nga agturong idiay Atarim, rinautna dagiti Israelita ken innalana a balud ti sumagmamano kadakuada.
2 Then the Israelis solemnly vowed: “Yahweh, if you will help us to defeat these people, we will completely destroy all their towns.”
Nagsapata dagiti Israelita kenni Yahweh ket kinunada, “No itedmo kadakami ti balligi maibusor kadagitoy a tattao, ket dadaelenmi a naan-anay dagiti siudadda.”
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’].
Dinengngeg ni Yahweh ti timek dagiti Israelita ket intedna kadakuada ti balligi kadagiti Cananeo. Dinadaelda ida a naan-anay ken dagiti siudadda. Naawagan dayta a lugar a Horma.
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,
Nagdaliasatda manipud iti Bantay Hor nga agturong iti baybay dagiti Runo tapno likmutenda ti daga ti Edom. Kasta unay ti pannakadismaya dagiti tattao bayat nga addada iti dalan.
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!”
Nagsao dagiti tattao maibusor iti Dios ken ni Moises: “Apay nga impanawnakami manipud iti Egipto tapno matay iti let-ang? Awan tinapay, awan danum ken saanmi a kayat daytoy makauma a makan.”
6 So Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among them. Many of the people were bitten by the snakes and died.
Ket nangibaon ni Yahweh kadagiti nagita nga uleg kadagiti tattao. Kinagat dagitoy nga uleg dagiti tattao; adu a tattao ti natay.
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.
Immasideg dagiti tattao kenni Moises ket kinunada, “Nagbasolkami gapu ta nagsaokami iti maibusor kenka ken ni Yahweh. Agkararagka kenni Yahweh tapno ikkatenna dagitoy nga uleg kadakami.” Ngarud, inkararagan ni Moises dagiti tattao.
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).”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Mangaramidka iti sinan-uleg ken ikapetmo daytoy iti poste. Makalasatto amin a nakagat no kitaenna daytoy.”
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!
Isu a nagaramid ni Moises iti sinan-uleg a bronse sana inkapet iti poste. Makalasat ti siasinoman a kagaten ti uleg no kumita isuna iti sinan-uleg a bronse.
10 Then the Israelis traveled to Oboth and (camped/set up their tents) there.
Kalpasanna, nagtuloy a nagdaliasat dagiti Israelita ket nagkampoda idiay Obot.
11 Then they left there, and went to Iye-Abarim, in the desert on the eastern border of Moab.
Nagdaliasatda manipud Obot ket nagkampoda iti rebba ti Abarim idiay let-ang nga akin-daya a paset ti Moab.
12 From there they traveled to the valley where the Zered riverbed is, and camped there.
Manipud sadiay intultuloyda ti nagdaliasat ket nagkampoda iti tanap ti Zered.
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.
Manipud sadiay, intultuloyda ti nagdaliasat ket nagkampoda iti ballasiw ti Karayan Arnon, nga adda iti let-ang a dumanon iti beddeng dagiti Amorreo. Ti Karayan Arnon ti beddeng iti Moab, nagbaetan daytoy ti Moab ken dagiti Amorreo.
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]
Isu't gapuna a nailanad iti nalukot a pagbasaan kadagiti Gubat ni Yahweh, “Waheb idiay Sufa, ken kadagiti tantanap ti Arnon,
15 and the ravines there, which extend as far as Ar [village] on the border of Moab.”
dagiti pasalog a tantanap nga agturong iti ili ti Ar ken sumalog iti beddeng ti Moab.”
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.”
Manipud sadiay, nagdaliasatda a nagturong iti Beer, ti ayan iti bubon a nagkunaan idi ni Yahweh kenni Moises. “Ummongem dagiti tattao tapno ikkak ida iti danum.”
17 There the Israelis sang this song: “O well, give us water! Sing about this well!
Ket inkanta dagiti Israelita daytoy a kanta: “Agubbogka, bubon. Ikantami ti maipapan iti daytoy.
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,
Ti bubon a kinali dagiti mangidadaulo kadakami, ti bubon a kinali dagiti natakneng a tattao babaen iti setro ken dagiti bastonda.” Ket manipud iti let-ang, nagdaliasatda a nagturong iti Matana.
19 Nahaliel, and Bamoth [villages].
Manipud iti Matana, nagdaliasatda a nagturong iti Nahaliel, ken manipud Nahaliel, nagturongda idiay Bamot,
20 Then they went to the valley in Moab where Pisgah [Mountain] rises above the desert.
ken manipud idiay Bamot nagturongda iti maysa a tanap idiay daga ti Moab. Sadiay, ti tuktok ti Bantay Pisga a matantannawagan ti let-ang.
21 Then the Israelis sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. This was the message [that they/we gave him]:
Ket nangibaon dagiti Israelita kadagiti mensaheroda a mapan kenni Sihon nga ari dagiti Amorreo a kunada,
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.”
“Palubosandakami a lumabas iti dagam. Saankami a sumrek iti aniaman a talon wenno kaubasan. Saankami nga uminom iti danum kadagiti bubonmo. Agdaliasatkami iti kangrunaan a kalsada ti ari agingga a malabsanmi ti beddengmo.”
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].
Ngem saan nga impalubos ni Ari Sihon a lumabas iti beddengda dagiti Israelita. Ngem ketdi, inummong ni Sihon dagiti amin a soldadona ket rinautda dagiti Israelita idiay let-ang. Napan isuna idiay Jaaz a nangrautanna kadagiti Israelita.
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.
Rinaut dagiti Israelita dagiti soldado ni Sihon babaen iti tirad ti kampilanda ket tinagikuada ti dagdagada manipud Arnon agingga iti karayan Jabbok, agingga iti daga dagiti Amonita. Ita, napatibker ti beddeng dagiti Amonita.
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.
Sinakup dagiti Israelita amin a siudad dagiti Amorreo ket nagnaedda kadagitoy, kasta met idiay Hesbon ken kadagiti amin a barbario.
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].
Ti Hesbon ket siudad ni Sihon nga ari dagiti Amorreo, ti nakiranget iti sigud nga ari iti Moab. Sinakup amin ni Sihon ti daga ti Moab manipud iti masakupanna agingga iti Karayan Arnon.
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.
Dayta ti gapuna a dagiti agsarsarita kadagiti probervio ket kunada, “Umaykayo iti Hesbon. Maibangon ken maipatakder koma manen ti siudad ni Sihon.
28 A fire blazed from Heshbon; it burned down Ar [city] in Moab, it destroyed [everything on] the hills along the Arnon [River].
Adda apuy a rimmuar manipud iti Hesbon, maysa nga apuy manipud iti siudad ni Sihon a nangkisap ti Ar iti Moab, ken dagiti makinkukua kadagiti katurturodan iti Arnon.
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.
Asikayo pay, Moab! Nadadaelkayo, dakayo a tattao iti Kemos. Pinagbalinna a libas a balud dagiti lallaki nga annakna ken dagiti babbai nga annakna ket nagbalinda a balud ni Sihon nga ari dagiti Amorreo.
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].”
Ngem naparmekmi ni Sihon. Nadadaelen ti Hesbon agingga idiay Dibon. Naparmekmi amin ida agingga idiay Nofa, a dumanon idiay Medeba.”
31 So the Israeli people began to live in the land where the Amor people-group lived.
Isu a rinugian dagiti Israelita ti agnaed iti daga dagiti Amorreo.
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.
Ket nangibaon ni Moises kadagiti lallaki nga agpaliiw idiay Jazer. Sinakupda dagiti il-ilina daytoy ken pinapanawda dagiti Amorreo nga adda sadiay.
33 Then they turned [north] toward the Bashan region, but King Og of Bashan and all his army attacked them at Edrei [town].
Kalpasanna, naglikko dagiti Israelita ket simmang-atda iti dalan nga agturong idiay Basan. Rimmuar ni Og nga ari ti Basan agraman ti armadana tapno darupenda dagiti Israelita, tapno makirangetda kadakuada idiay Edrei.
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.”
Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Saanka nga agbuteng kenkuana, gapu ta intedko kenka ti balligi a mangparmek kenkuana, kadagiti amin nga armadana, ken iti dagana. Aramidem kenkuana ti inaramidmo kenni Sihon nga ari dagiti Amorreo, a nagnaed idiay Hesbon.”
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.
Pinatayda ngarud ni Og, dagiti lallaki nga annakna, ken amin nga armadana, agingga nga awan iti nabati a sibibiag kadagiti tattaona. Ket tinagikuada ti dagana.
