Numbers 21
1 And whanne Chananei, the kyng of Arad, that dwellide at the south, hadde herd this, that is, that Israel cam bi the weye of aspieris, he fauyt ayens hem; and Chananei was ouercomere and ledde pray of Israel.
Kwathi inkosi yeAradi, umKhanani, eyayihlala eningizimu, isizwa ukuthi uIsrayeli uyeza ngendlela yabahloli, yalwa imelene loIsrayeli yathumba abanye kubo.
2 And Israel bounde hym sylf bi avow to the Lord, and seide, If thou schalt bitake this puple in myn hond, Y schal do awei `the citees therof.
UIsrayeli wathembisa isithembiso eNkosini wathi: Uba unikela lokunikela lababantu esandleni sami, ngizatshabalalisa imizi yabo.
3 And the Lord herde the preieris of Israel, and bitook the Chananey; and Israel killid hym, and distruyede hise citees; and clepide the name of that place Horma, that is, cursyng, `ethir hangyng up.
INkosi yasisizwa ilizwi likaIsrayeli, yanikela amaKhanani, wawatshabalalisa lemizi yawo; ngakho wabiza ibizo laleyondawo ngokuthi yiHorma.
4 `Forsothe thei yeden forth also fro the hil of Hor, bi the weie that ledith to the reed see, that thei schulden cumpasse the lond of Edom; and it bigan to anoye the puple, of the weie and trauel.
Basebesuka entabeni yeHori, ngendlela yoLwandle oluBomvu ukuze baceze ilizwe leEdoma; lomphefumulo wabantu wadinwa endleleni.
5 And the puple spak ayens the Lord and Moises, and seide, Whi leddist thou vs out of Egipt, that we schulden die in wildirnesse? breed failith, watris ben not; oure soule wlatith now on this `meete moost liyt.
Abantu basebekhuluma bemelene loNkulunkulu njalo bemelene loMozisi bathi: Lasenyuselani lisikhupha eGibhithe ukuze sifele enkangala? Ngoba kakulasinkwa njalo kakulamanzi, futhi umphefumulo wethu unengwa yilesisinkwa esilula.
6 Wherfor the Lord sente `firid serpentis in to the puple; at the woundis of whiche serpentis, and the dethis of ful many men,
INkosi yasithuma inyoka ezilokutshisa phakathi kwabantu, zasezibaluma abantu, njalo kwafa abantu abanengi koIsrayeli.
7 thei camen to Moyses, and seiden, We synneden, for we spaken ayens the Lord and thee; preie thou, that he take awey fro vs the serpentis.
Ngakho abantu beza kuMozisi bathi: Sonile, ngoba sikhulume simelene leNkosi njalo simelene lawe; khuleka eNkosini ukuze isuse izinyoka kithi. UMozisi wasebakhulekela abantu.
8 And Moises preiede for the puple; and the Lord seide to hym, Make thou a serpent of bras, and sette thou it for a signe; he that is smytun and biholdith it, schal lyue.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Zenzele inyoka elomlilo, uyibeke esigodweni; njalo kuzakuthi wonke olunyiweyo, nxa eyikhangela, uzaphila.
9 Therfor Moyses made a serpent of bras, and settide for a signe; and men smytun and biholdynge it, weren heelid.
UMozisi wasesenza inyoka yethusi, wayibeka esigodweni; kwasekusithi lapho inyoka ilume loba nguwuphi umuntu, uba ekhangele inyoka yethusi, waphila.
10 And the sones of Israel yeden forth,
Njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli basuka bamisa inkamba eObothi.
11 and settiden tentis in Oboth; fro whennus thei yeden forth, and settiden tentis in Neabarym, in the wildirnesse, that biholdith Moab, ayens the eest coost.
Basuka eObothi, bamisa inkamba eIye-Abarimi enkangala emaqondana lakoMowabi lapho okuphuma khona ilanga.
12 And thei moueden fro thennus, and camen to the stronde of Zareth;
Basuka lapho, bamisa inkamba esigodini seZeredi.
13 which thei leften, and settiden tentis ayens Arnon, which is in the deseert, and apperith in the coostis of Amorrei. Forsothe Arnon is the terme of Moab, and departith Moabitis and Ammoreis.
Basuka lapho, bamisa inkamba ngale kweArinoni esenkangala ephuma emingceleni yamaAmori; ngoba iArinoni lingumngcele wakoMowabi, phakathi kweMowabi lamaAmori.
14 Wherfor it is seid in the book of batels of the Lord, As he dide in the reed see, so he schal do in the strondis of Arnon;
Ngakho kuthiwa egwalweni lwezimpi zeNkosi: IWahebi eseSufa, lezifula zeArinoni,
15 the harde rochis of the strondis weren bowid, that tho schulen reste in Arnon, and schulden ligge in the coostis of Moabitis.
leliwa lezifula elehlela endaweni yeAri, lisekele umngcele wakoMowabi.
16 Fro that place the pit apperide, of which the Lord spak to Moyses, Gadere thou the puple, and Y schal yyue watir to it.
Basebesuka lapho baya eBeri; lo ngumthombo iNkosi eyakhuluma ngawo kuMozisi yathi: Buthanisa abantu, ngizabanika-ke amanzi.
17 Thanne Israel soong this song, The pit stie;
Khona uIsrayeli wahlabela lingoma ethi: Mpompoza, mthombo! Hlabelelani kuwo,
18 thei sungen togidere, The pit which the princes diggiden, and the duykis of the multitude maden redi, in the yyuere of the lawe, and in her stauys. And thei yeden forth fro the wildirnesse to Mathana,
umthombo ezawugebhayo iziphathamandla, ezawugebhayo izikhulu zabantu, ngomnikumthetho, ngendondolo zazo. Basebesuka enkangala baya eMathana.
19 fro Mathana to Naaliel, fro Naaliel in to Bamoth;
Besuka eMathana baya eNahaliyeli; besuka eNahaliyeli baya eBamothi;
20 Bamoth is a valey in the cuntrey of Moab, in the cop of Phasga, that biholdith ayens the deseert.
besuka eBamothi esigodini esisemhlabeni wakoMowabi, engqongeni yePisiga ekhangele inkangala.
21 Forsothe Israel sente messangeris to Seon, kyng of Ammorreis, and seide,
UIsrayeli wasethuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yamaAmori, esithi:
22 Y biseche that it be leueful to me to passe thorou thi loond; we schulen not bowe in to the feeldis and vyneris; we schulen not drynke watris of pittis; we schulen go in the kyngis weie, til we passen thi termes.
Ake ngidabule elizweni lakho; kasiyikuphambukela emasimini loba ezivinini; kasiyikunatha amanzi omthombo; sizahamba ngomgwaqo wenkosi, size sedlule imingcele yakho.
23 Which nolde graunte that Israel schulde passe thury hise coostis, but rather, whanne the oost was gaderid, he yede out ayens Israel, in to deseert. And he cam in to Yasa, and fauyt ayens Israel;
Kodwa uSihoni kamvumelanga uIsrayeli ukudabula umngcele wakhe, kodwa uSihoni wabuthanisa bonke abantu bakhe, waphuma ukumelana loIsrayeli enkangala, wafika eJahazi, walwa emelene loIsrayeli.
24 of whom he was smytun in the scharpnesse of swerd, and his lond was weldid fro Arnon `til to Jeboth and `the sones of Amon; for the termes of Amonytis weren holdun bi strong help.
UIsrayeli wamtshaya ngobukhali benkemba, waba ngumnikazi welizwe lakhe kusukela eArinoni kuze kube seJaboki, kuze kube sebantwaneni bakoAmoni, ngoba umngcele wabantwana bakoAmoni wawuqinile.
25 Therfor Israel took alle `the citees of hym, and dwelliden in the citees of Amorrei, that is, in Esebon, and hise townes.
UIsrayeli wasethatha yonke le imizi; uIsrayeli wasehlala emizini yonke yamaAmori, eHeshiboni layo yonke imizana yalo.
26 The citee of Esebon was Seons, kyng of Ammorei, which Seon fauyt ayens the kyng of Moab, and took al the lond that was of his lordschip, `til to Arnon.
Ngoba iHeshiboni yayingumuzi kaSihoni inkosi yamaAmori, owayelwe emelene lenkosi yamandulo yakoMowabi, wayethethe ilizwe lonke layo esandleni sayo, kwaze kwafika eArinoni.
27 Therfor it is seid in prouerbe, Come ye in to Esebon, be it bildid, and maad the citee of Seon;
Ngakho abasebenzisa izaga bathi: Wozani eHeshiboni! Umuzi kaSihoni kawakhiwe, umiswe.
28 fier yede out of Esebon, flawme yede out of the citee `ethir greet castel of Seon, and deuouryde Ar of Moabitis, and the dwelleris of the `hiye places of Arnon.
Ngoba umlilo waphuma eHeshiboni, ilangabi emzini kaSihoni, laqothula iAri loMowabi, amakhosi endawo eziphakemeyo zeArinoni.
29 Moab, wo to thee! thou, puple of Chamos, perischidist; it yaf the sones therof in to fliyt, and the douytris in to caitifte to Seon, kyng of Ammoreis;
Maye kuwe, Mowabi! Selibhujisiwe, bantu bakaKemoshi! Unikele amadodana akhe aba ngababaleki, lamadodakazi akhe ekuthunjweni kuSihoni, inkosi yamaAmori.
30 the yok of hem perischide, fro Esebon `til to Dibon; the wery men camen in to Jophe, and `til to Medaba.
Sesibatshokile; iHeshiboni ibhubhile kuze kube seDiboni; sesibachithile kuze kube seNofa, efika eMedeba.
31 And so Israel dwellide in the lond of Ammorrey.
UIsrayeli wasehlala elizweni lamaAmori.
32 And Moises sente men that schulden aspie Jaser, whos `townes thei token, and weldiden the dwelleris.
UMozisi wathuma ukuyahlola iJazeri; basebethumba imizana yalo, baxotsha amaAmori ayehlala khona.
33 And thei turniden hem silf, and stieden bi the weie of Basan. And Og, the kyng of Basan, with al his puple cam ayens hem, to fiyte in Edray.
Basebephenduka, benyuka ngendlela yeBashani. UOgi inkosi yeBashani wasephuma ukumelana labo, yena labantu bakhe bonke, empini eEdreyi.
34 And the Lord seide to Moises, Drede thou not hym, for Y haue bitake hym, and al his loond, and puple, in thin hoond; and thou schalt do to hym as thou didist to Seon, kyng of Ammorreis, the dwellere of Esebon.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Ungamesabi; ngoba ngimnikele esandleni sakho, labantu bakhe bonke, lelizwe lakhe; njalo uzakwenza kuye njengokwenza kwakho kuSihoni inkosi yamaAmori owayehlala eHeshiboni.
35 Therfor thei smytiden `bothe hym with hise sones and al his puple, `til to deeth; and thei weldiden `the lond of hym.
Basebemtshaya, lamadodana akhe, labantu bakhe bonke, akwaze kwasala ophilayo kuye. Badla ilifa lelizwe lakhe.
