Mose 4 21
1 Arad fia, tso Kanaanyigba dzi ƒe ŋkutsalawo to mɔ ɖeka kple Israelviwo. Esi Arad fia se be Israelviwo to Atarim mɔ gbɔna la, eho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ŋu, eye wòɖe aboyo woƒe ame aɖewo.
And when the Canaanite, the king of 'Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel was coming by the way of the spies: he made an attack on Israel, and took from them some prisoners.
2 Israelviwo ɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa be, ne ana yewoaɖu Arad fia kple eƒe amewo dzi la, yewoagbã du siwo katã le afi ma la gudugudu.
And Israel made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt but deliver this people into my hand, then will I devote their cities.
3 Yehowa se woƒe kokoƒoƒo, eye wòna woɖu Kanaantɔwo dzi. Israelviwo gbã woƒe duwo gudugudu. Wona ŋkɔ teƒe ma tso ɣe ma ɣi be, “Horma” si gɔmee nye “Afi si wogbã duwo le gudugudu.”
And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and he delivered up the Canaanites; and they devoted them and their cities: and they called the name of the place Chormah.
4 Israelviwo trɔ yi Hor to la dzi, eye woɖo ta anyigbeme lɔƒo to mɔ si ɖo ta Ƒu Dzĩ la gbɔ la dzi be yewoaƒo xlã Edomnyigba. Nu sia ɖe dzi le Israelviwo ƒo ŋutɔ.
And they set forward from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people became impatient because of the way.
5 Wode asi liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ me ɖe Mawu kple Mose ŋu be, “Nu ka ta miekplɔ mí dzoe le Egipte be míava ku ɖe gbedzi le afi sia? Naneke mele afi sia míaɖu o, tsi meli míano o, mana sia hã va ti mí azɔ.”
And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this miserable bread.
6 Ale Yehowa dɔ da vɔ̃ɖiwo ɖe Israelviwo dome woɖu ame geɖewo, eye woku.
And the Lord let loose against the people poisonous serpents, and they bit the people; and there died much people of Israel.
7 Ameawo va Mose gbɔ hedo ɣli be, “Míewɔ nu vɔ̃, elabena míeƒo nu tsi tsitre ɖe wò kple Yehowa ŋu. Ɖe kuku na Yehowa na mí be wòaɖe dawo ɖa.” Ale Mose do gbe ɖa ɖe ameawo ta.
And the people then came to Moses, and they said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away from us the serpents. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Tsɔ akɔbli nàwɔ nu si aɖi da siawo dometɔ ɖeka la da ɖe ati tutu aɖe tame. Ame sia ame si da aɖu la, ne ekpɔ akɔblida la ko la, atsi agbe!”
And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thyself a serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that whoever is bitten shall look at it, and he shall live.
9 Ale Mose wɔ akɔblida la, eye wòkɔe tɔ ɖe ati si wotu la nu. Ne da ɖu ame aɖe, eye wòwu mo dzi kpɔ akɔblida la ko la, etsia agbe.
And Moses made a serpent of copper, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, that, when a serpent had bitten any man, and he looked up to the serpent of copper, he remained alive.
10 Israelviwo tso afi sia yi Obot. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi ma.
And the children of Israel set forward, and encamped in Oboth.
11 Tso Obot la, woyi Iye Abarim le gbedzi afi si te ɖe Moab ƒe ɣedzeƒe ŋu.
And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at 'Iye-ha'abarim, in the wilderness, which is before Moab, toward the rising of the sun.
12 Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Zered tɔʋu la ƒe balime.
From there they set forward and encamped in the valley of Zered.
13 Wotso eme yi Arnon tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ si te ɖe Amoritɔwo ƒe liƒo ŋu. Arnon tɔsisi lae nye liƒo le Moabtɔwo kple Amoritɔwo dome.
From there they set forward, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, and which cometh out of the boundary of the Emorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and between the Emorites.
14 Eya ta woŋlɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe Aʋawɔwɔwo ƒe Agbalẽ la me be, Zahad le Sufa kple Arnon tɔsisi la,
Therefore mention is made in the book of the wars of the Lord, of Vaheb in Supha, and of the brooks of Arnon,
15 tɔʋu la me tsi, si ɖo ta Ar nutowo me eye wòdo liƒo na Moabtɔwo.
And the descent of the brooks, that turneth toward Shebeth-'Ar, and leaneth upon the border of Moab;
16 Tso afi sia la, Israelviwo zɔ mɔ yi Beer. Ŋkɔ sia gɔmee nye “Vudo.” Afi siae Yehowa gblɔ na Mose le be, “Ƒo ameawo nu ƒu, eye mana tsi wo.”
And from there to the well; this is the well where the Lord said unto Moses, Assemble the people and I will give them water.
17 Israel dzi ha be, “Dzi tsi, O vudo! Midzi ha tso tsi la ŋu!
Then did Israel sing this song, Come up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 Esiae nye vudo si amegãwo kple dukɔ la ƒe bubumewo tsɔ woƒe atikplɔwo kple woƒe atizɔtiwo ɖee la.” Wodzo le gbegbe la,
Well, which the princes have dug, which the nobles of the people have hollowed out with the sceptre, with their staves; — and from the wilderness to Mattanah;
19 eye woto Matana, Nahaliel kple Bamot,
And from Mattanah to Nachaliel; and from Nachaliel to Bamoth;
20 eye woyi balime si le Moab ƒe togbɛwo te, afi si gbegbe la kple Pisga to dzena le tso adzɔge.
And from Bamoth to the valley, which is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward the desert.
21 Azɔ la, Israelviwo ɖo ame dɔdɔwo ɖe Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia gbɔ.
And Israel sent messengers unto Sichon the king of the Emorites, saying,
22 Woɖe kuku na fia la be, “Na míato wò anyigba dzi ayi. Míadze ato agblewo alo wainbɔwo me o, eye míele vudometsi hã no ge o. Míale mɔ gã la tẽ va se ɖe esime míatso wò anyigba me ayi.”
Let me pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink the water of a well: by the king's highway will we go along, until we have passed thy border.
23 Fia Sixɔn gbe mɔɖeɖe na Israel be wòato eƒe anyigba dzi ayi o. Sixɔn ƒo eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la nu ƒu eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel ŋu le gbedzi esi woɖo Yahaz.
But Sichon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; and Sichon assembled all his people together; and went out against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Yahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 Israelviwo ɖu wo dzi, eye woxɔ woƒe anyigba tso Arnon tɔsisi la ŋu va se ɖe Yabok tɔsisi la ŋu, heyi ɖe Amonitɔwo ƒe liƒo dzi. Israelviwo megate ŋu yi ŋgɔ wu afi sia o, elabena Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nye Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo la nye aʋawɔla sesẽwo.
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from Arnon unto Yabbok, even unto the children of 'Ammon; for the border of the children of 'Ammon was strong.
25 Israelviwo xɔ Amoritɔwo ƒe duwo katã, eye wonɔ wo me; Hesbon kple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe la hã nɔ eme.
And Israel took all these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Emorites, in Cheshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26 Hesbon nye Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia ƒe du. Sixɔn wɔ aʋa kple Moabtɔwo ƒe fia xoxo la, eye wòxɔ eƒe anyigba katã yi keke Arnon.
For Cheshbon was the city of Sichon the king of the Emorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, up to the Arnon.
27 Eya ta hakpala la gblɔ be, “Va Hesbon, eye nàna woagbugbɔe atu, na woagbugbɔ Sixɔn ƒe du la aɖo te.
Therefore said the poets, Come into Cheshbon, let the city of Sichon be built and established.
28 “Elabena dzo do tso Hesbon, dzo ƒe aɖewo tso Sixɔn ƒe du me. Fia Moab ƒe Ar, Arnon ƒe todzitɔwo,
For a fire is gone out of Cheshbon, a flame from the city of Sichon: it hath consumed 'Ar-Moab, the men of the high places of the Arnon.
29 baba na wò, O Moab! Wotsrɔ̃ mi, Kemostɔwo! Ena via ŋutsuwo zu sisilawo, eye via nyɔnuwo zu aboyomewo na Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia.
Woe to thee, Moab! thou art lost, O people of Kemosh: he hath suffered his sons to become fugitives, and his daughters to go into captivity, unto the king of the Emorites, Sichon.
30 “Ke míawo míeɖu wo dzi wotsrɔ̃ Hesbon yi keke Dibon míegbã wo yi keke Nofa, yi kekeke Medeba.”
We have thrown them down; lost is Cheshbon even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste [all] up to Nophach, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Ale Israelviwo nɔ Amoritɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Emorites.
32 Esime Mose ɖo ŋkutsalawo ɖe Yazer megbe la, Israelviwo xɔ du sue siwo ƒo xlãe, eye wonya Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ afi ma la le woƒe anyigba la dzi.
And Moses sent to spy out Ya'zer, and they captured the villages thereof, and drove out the Emorites that were there.
33 Le esia megbe la, wotrɔ ɖe Basab du la ŋu. Ke Ɔg, Basan fia, kpe aʋa kpli wo le Edrei.
And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and 'Og, the king of Bashan, went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
34 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Mègavɔ̃e o, elabena matsɔ eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la kpakple eƒe anyigba la ade asi na wò; eye nawɔe abe ale si nèwɔ fia Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia le Hesbon ene.”
And the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I delivered him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.
35 Eva eme nenema tututu. Israel ɖu dzi. Wowu Ɔg, Basan fia, via ŋutsuwo kple eteviwo ale gbegbe be aʋawɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o. Ale Israelviwo xɔ anyigba la.
And they smote him and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left unto him that escaped; and they took possession of his land.
