Ndari 21
1 Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa mũthamaki Mũkaanani wa Aradi, ũrĩa watũũraga Negevu, aiguire atĩ Isiraeli nĩokagĩra njĩra ya Atharimu, agĩthiĩ agĩtharĩkĩra andũ a Isiraeli, na agĩtaha amwe ao.
And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
2 Nao andũ Isiraeli makĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ harĩ Jehova makiuga atĩrĩ: “Ũngĩneana andũ aya moko-inĩ maitũ-rĩ, nĩtũkananga matũũra mao marĩa manene biũ.”
And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 Nake Jehova akĩigua ihooya rĩa andũ a Isiraeli na akĩneana andũ acio a Kaanani kũrĩ o. Nao makĩananga andũ acio biũ hamwe na matũũra mao; nĩ ũndũ ũcio handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Horoma.
And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
4 Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩnyiita rũgendo kuuma Kĩrĩma kĩa Horu magereire njĩra ya gũthiĩ Iria Itune, nĩguo mathiũrũrũke bũrũri wa Edomu. No andũ acio magĩthethũka marĩ njĩra-inĩ;
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 nao magĩũkĩrĩra Ngai o na Musa na mĩario makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwatũrutire bũrũri wa Misiri tũũke tũkuĩre gũkũ werũ-inĩ nĩkĩ? Gũkũ gũtirĩ irio! Na gũtirĩ maaĩ! O na nĩtũthũire irio ici itarĩ kĩene!”
And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have all of you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loathes this light bread.
6 Nake Jehova akĩmatũmĩra nyoka ciarĩ na thumu; ikĩrũma andũ a Isiraeli, na aingĩ ao magĩkua.
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Andũ acio magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Musa makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwehirie rĩrĩa twaaririe tũgĩũkĩrĩra Jehova hamwe nawe. Hooya nĩguo Jehova atwehererie nyoka ici.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩhoera andũ acio.
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against you; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thondeka nyoka ũmĩcuurie gĩtugĩ igũrũ; mũndũ o wothe ũrĩĩrũmagwo-rĩ, aamĩrora nĩarĩtũũraga muoyo.”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make you a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩthondeka nyoka ya gĩcango, akĩmĩcuuria gĩtugĩ igũrũ. Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe aarũmwo nĩ nyoka na aarora nyoka ĩyo ya gĩcango, agatũũra muoyo.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 Andũ a Isiraeli makiumagara, magĩthiĩ makĩamba hema ciao Obothu.
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
11 Ningĩ makiuma Obothu magĩthiĩ Iye-Abarimu, makĩamba hema ciao werũ-inĩ ũrĩa ũngʼethanĩire na Moabi mwena wa irathĩro.
And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ na mbere, makĩamba hema ciao Kĩanda kĩa Zeredi.
From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
13 Moimagara kuuma kũu makĩamba hema kũrigania na Rũũĩ rwa Arinoni, kũu werũ ũrĩa ũthiĩte nginya bũrũri wa Aamori; nĩgũkorwo Rũũĩ rwa Arinoni nĩruo rwarĩ mũhaka wa Moabi na Aamori.
From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Na nĩkĩo Ibuku rĩa Mbaara cia Jehova riugĩte atĩrĩ: “… Wahebu thĩinĩ wa Sufa, na mĩkuru, Arinoni
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 na igaragaro-inĩ cia mĩkuru ĩrĩa ithiĩte o nginya kũu Ari, na ĩgatwarana na mũhaka wa Moabi.”
And at the stream of the brooks that goes down to the dwelling of Ar, and lies upon the border of Moab.
16 Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ na mbere nginya kũu Biri, gĩthima-inĩ harĩa Jehova erire Musa atĩrĩ, “Cookereria andũ hamwe na nĩngũmahe maaĩ.”
And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spoke unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Isiraeli makĩina rwĩmbo rũrũ: “Therũka maaĩ, wee gĩthima gĩkĩ! Inyuĩ na inyuĩ inai ũhoro wakĩo,
Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing all of you unto it:
18 ũhoro wa gĩthima kĩrĩa anene menjete, kĩrĩa gĩathikũririo nĩ andũ arĩa marĩ igweta, andũ arĩa marĩ igweta marĩ na njũgũma cia ũnene na mĩthĩĩgi yao.” Ningĩ makiuma werũ-inĩ magĩthiĩ Matana,
The princes dug the well, the nobles of the people dug it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
19 kuuma Matana magĩthiĩ Nahalieli, kuuma Nahalieli magĩthiĩ Bamothu,
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 na kuuma Bamothu magĩthiĩ kĩanda kĩa Moabi, kũrĩa gacũmbĩrĩ ka Pisiga kangʼetheire werũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ kĩndũ.
And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks toward Jeshimon.
21 Isiraeli nĩatũmire andũ kũrĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori makamwĩre atĩrĩ:
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 “Twĩtĩkĩrie tũtuĩkanĩrie bũrũri wanyu. Tũtigũtoonya mĩgũnda yanyu ya irio, kana ya mĩthabibũ, kana tũnyue maaĩ kuuma gĩthima o na kĩmwe. Tũkũgerera njĩra ĩrĩa nene ya mũthamaki o nginya tũtuĩkanie bũrũri wanyu.”
Let me pass through your land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past your borders.
23 No Mũthamaki Sihoni akĩgiria andũ a Isiraeli mahĩtũkĩre bũrũri wake. We onganirie mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, akiumagara agĩthiĩ werũ-inĩ agatharĩkĩre andũ a Isiraeli. Rĩrĩa aakinyire Jahazu-rĩ, akĩhũũrana na andũ a Isiraeli.
And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 No andũ a Isiraeli makĩmooraga na hiũ cia njora na magĩtunya mũthamaki ũcio bũrũri wake kuuma Arinoni nginya Jaboku, no maakinyire o mũhaka-inĩ wa andũ a Amoni, tondũ warĩ mũirige na hinya mũno.
And Israel stroke him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 Isiraeli agĩtunya Aamori matũũra mothe mao marĩa manene na magĩtũũra kuo, o hamwe na Heshiboni na tũtũũra tuothe tũrĩa twarigainie nakuo.
And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26 Heshiboni nĩrĩo rĩarĩ itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa warũĩte na mũthamaki wa Moabi ũrĩa waathanaga mbere ĩyo, na akamũtunya bũrũri wake wothe o nginya Arinoni.
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
27 Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga aini a marebeta moige atĩrĩ: “Ũkaai Heshiboni nĩgeetha rĩakwo rĩngĩ; itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni nĩrĩcokererio.
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 “Mwaki nĩwoimire kũu Heshiboni, rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũkiuma itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni. Ũkĩniina itũũra rĩa Ari Moabi, o atũũri a kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwa Arinoni.
For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it has consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro, wee Moabi-ĩ! Inyuĩ andũ a Kemoshu! Kaĩ mũrĩ aanange-ĩ. Nĩarekereirie ariũ ake magatuĩka eethari, o na airĩtu ake akĩmarekereria matahwo nĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori.
Woe to you, Moab! you are undone, O people of Chemosh: he has given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 “No ithuĩ nĩtũmangʼaũranĩtie; Heshiboni kwanangĩtwo guothe nginya o Diboni. Tũmamomorete tũgakinya Nofa, itũũra rĩrĩa rĩkuhanĩrĩirie na Medeba.”
We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reachs unto Medeba.
31 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũũra bũrũri ũcio wa Aamori.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 Thuutha wa Musa gũtũma andũ magathigaane Jazeri, andũ a Isiraeli magĩtunyana tũtũũra tũrĩa twarigiicĩirie itũũra rĩu, na makĩingata Aamori arĩa maarĩ kuo.
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
33 Ningĩ makĩgarũrũka, makĩambata na njĩra marorete Bashani, nake Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita makiumagara makahũũrane na Isiraeli kũu Edirei.
And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
34 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ndũkamwĩtigĩre, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩmũneanĩte moko-inĩ maku, hamwe na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, o na bũrũri wake. Mwĩke o ũrĩa wekire Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa waathanaga Heshiboni.”
And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩũraga Mũthamaki Ogu hamwe na ariũ ake, o na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, mategũtigia mũndũ o na ũmwe muoyo. Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩĩgwatĩra bũrũri wake.
So they stroke him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
