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.
Oo boqorkii Caraad, oo reer Kancaan, oo xagga koonfureed degganaa ayaa maqlay in reer binu Israa'iil ka yimaadeen xagga jidka Ataariim, markaasuu la diriray reer binu Israa'iil oo qaarkood qabsaday.
2 Then the Israelis solemnly vowed: “Yahweh, if you will help us to defeat these people, we will completely destroy all their towns.”
Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga nidar u nidreen oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Hubaal haddaad dadkan gacantayada soo gelisid markaas magaalooyinkooda oo dhan waannu wada baabbi'inaynaa.
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’].
Oo Rabbigu wuu dhegaystay codkii reer binu Israa'iil, oo gacantooda buu soo geliyey reer Kancaan, oo iyana iyagii iyo magaalooyinkoodiiba way wada baabbi'iyeen, oo meeshaas magaceediina waxaa loo bixiyey Xormaah.
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,
Oo Buur Xor waxay uga guureen xagga jidka loo maro Badda Cas inay hareer ka maraan dalka reer Edom. Markaasay dadku aad u qalbi jabeen jidkii daraaddiis.
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!”
Oo dadkii waxay ku hadleen wax ka gees ah Ilaah iyo Muuseba, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, War dalkii Masar maxaad nooga soo bixiseen si aannu cidladan ugu dhimanno? Waayo, kibis ma jirto, biyona ma jiraan, oo naftayaduna kibistan khafiifka ah way ku yaqyaqsataa.
6 So Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among them. Many of the people were bitten by the snakes and died.
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu dadka dhexdiisii ku soo daayay abeesooyin qaniinyo kulul oo ay dadkii qanqaniineen, oo dad badan oo reer binu Israa'iil ah ayaa dhintay.
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.
Markaasay dadkii Muuse u yimaadeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu waannu dembaabnay, maxaa yeelay, waxaannu ku hadalnay wax ka gees ah Rabbiga iyo adiga, haddaba Rabbiga noo bari inuu abeesooyinka naga fogeeyo. Markaasaa Muuse dadkii u baryay Rabbiga.
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).”
Oo Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Abeeso samee, oo tiircalan kor saar, oo mid kasta oo la qaniinoba, markuu arko wuu noolaanayaa.
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!
Oo Muuse baa abeeso naxaas ah sameeyey oo wuxuu kor saaray tiirkii calanka, oo haddii abeeso qof qaniinto oo qofku soo eego abeesadii naxaasta ahayd wuu noolaan jiray.
10 Then the Israelis traveled to Oboth and (camped/set up their tents) there.
Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil soo guureen, oo waxay degeen Obod.
11 Then they left there, and went to Iye-Abarim, in the desert on the eastern border of Moab.
Oo Obodna way ka guureen, oo waxay degeen Ciyee Hacabaariim oo cidlada ku dhex taal oo ah Moo'aab horteeda oo xagga qorrax ka soo baxa ah.
12 From there they traveled to the valley where the Zered riverbed is, and camped there.
Oo halkaasna way ka guureen, oo waxay degeen dooxadii Sered,
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.
Halkaasna way ka guureen, oo waxay deggeen Webi Arnoon dhankiisa kale, kaasoo cidlada ku yaal oo soohdinta reer Amor ka soo baxa, waayo, Webi Arnoon waa soohdinta reer Moo'aab oo wuxuu u dhexeeyaa reer Moo'aab iyo reer Amor.
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]
Haddaba kitaabkii dagaalladii Rabbiga waxaa ku qoran, Waaheeb oo Suufaah ku taal, Iyo dooxooyinka Arnoon,
15 and the ravines there, which extend as far as Ar [village] on the border of Moab.”
Iyo dhaadhaca dooxooyinka Oo u dadban xagga rugta Caar, Oo u dhow soohdinta reer Moo'aab.
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.”
Oo halkaasna waxay uga guureen xagga Bi'ir, kaasoo ah ceelkii Rabbigu Muuse kaga yidhi, Dadka oo dhan soo ururi, oo anna biyo waan siinayaa.
17 There the Israelis sang this song: “O well, give us water! Sing about this well!
Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil gabaygan ku gabyeen, Ceel yahow, soo durdur. War idinku u gabya
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,
Ceelkii ay amiirradii qodeen, Oo ay dadkii gobta ahu ku qodeen Ushii dowladnimada iyo ulahoodii. Oo cidladiina waxay uga guureen xagga Mataanaah.
19 Nahaliel, and Bamoth [villages].
Oo Mataanaahna waxay uga guureen xagga Naxalii'eel; Naxalii'eelna waxay uga guureen xagga Baamood.
20 Then they went to the valley in Moab where Pisgah [Mountain] rises above the desert.
Oo Baamoodna waxay uga guureen xagga dooxadii ku taal bannaanka Moo'aab, iyo Buur Fisgaah dhaladeeda oo cidlada hoos u soo fiirisa.
21 Then the Israelis sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. This was the message [that they/we gave him]:
Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil wargeeyayaal u direen Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii reer Amor, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen,
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.”
Na daa aan dalkaaga dhex marnee. Annagu gees ugu leexan mayno berrin ama beercanab, oo ceelashana biyo ka cabbi mayno. Waxaannu iska maraynaa boqorka waddadiisa jeeraannu soohdintaada ka baxno.
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].
Siixonse uma uu oggolaan in reer binu Israa'iil soohdintiisa soo dhex maraan; laakiinse Siixon dadkiisii oo dhan ayuu soo urursaday oo ku soo baxay reer binu Israa'iil oo cidlada jooga, oo wuxuu yimid Yahas, oo uu reer binu Israa'iil la diriray.
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.
Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil seef ku dileen, oo waxay qabsadeen dalkiisii tan iyo Arnoon iyo ilaa Yabboq, iyo xataa tan iyo reer Cammoon, waayo, soohdintii reer Cammoon wuu xoog badnaa.
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.
Oo reer binu Israa'iil magaalooyinkan oo dhan ayay qabsadeen, oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay degeen magaalooyinkii reer Amor oo dhan, xataa Xeshboon iyo magaalooyinkeedii oo dhan.
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].
Waayo, Xeshboon waxay ahayd magaaladii Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii reer Amor, oo la diriray boqorkii hore oo reer Moo'aab, oo dalkiisii oo dhan ka qabsaday, xataa tan iyo Arnoon.
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.
Oo sidaas daraaddeed kuwa maahmaahyo ku hadlaa waxay yidhaahdaan, War Xeshboon kaalaya, Magaaladii Siixon ha la dhiso oo ha la xoojiyo,
28 A fire blazed from Heshbon; it burned down Ar [city] in Moab, it destroyed [everything on] the hills along the Arnon [River].
Waayo, dab baa ka soo baxay Xeshboon, Taasoo ah magaaladii Siixon oo olol ka soo baxay. Wuxuu baabbi'iyey Caartii reer Moo'aab, Iyo sayidyadii meelaha sare oo Arnoon.
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.
Moo'aabay, waa kuu hoog! Waad baabba'day, dadka reer Khemooshow. Wiilashiisii wuxuu u sii daayay sida laajiyo, Gabdhihiisiina wuxuu maxaabiis ahaan ugu sii daayay Boqorka reer Amor oo Siixon ahaa.
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].”
Iyaga waannu toogannay; oo Xeshboon waa baabba'day tan iyo Diibon, Oo annagu waxaannu baabbi'innay tan iyo Nofax, Taasoo gaadha tan iyo Meedebaa.
31 So the Israeli people began to live in the land where the Amor people-group lived.
Oo sidaasay reer binu Israa'iil u degeen dalkii reer Amor.
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.
Markaasaa Muuse diray rag soo basaasa Yacser, oo iyana way qabsadeen magaalooyinkeedii, oo reer Amorkii halkaas degganaana way ka eryeen.
33 Then they turned [north] toward the Bashan region, but King Og of Bashan and all his army attacked them at Edrei [town].
Oo intay leexdeen ayay waxay tageen xagga jidka Baashaan loo maro. Markaasaa waxaa ku soo baxay Coog oo ahaa boqorkii Baashaan, isagii iyo dadkiisii oo dhanba, inay kula diriraan Edrecii.
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.”
Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, Ha ka cabsan, waayo, gacantaadaan geliyey isaga iyo dadkiisa oo dhan iyo dalkiisa, oo waxaad isaga ku samayn doontaa sidii aad ku samaysay Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii reer Amor oo Xeshboon degganaa.
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.
Oo iyana waxay dileen isagii, iyo wiilashiisii, iyo dadkiisii oo dhan ilaa ayan isagii waxba u hadhin, oo dalkiisiina way qabsadeen.
