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.
The Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the king of Arad, who lived in the South, sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that Israel [God prevails] came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel [God prevails], and took some of them captive.
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.”
Israel [God prevails] vowed a vow to Adonai, 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.

The people spoke against God, and against Moses [Drawn out], “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread.”
6 Nake Jehova akĩmatũmĩra nyoka ciarĩ na thumu; ikĩrũma andũ a Isiraeli, na aingĩ ao magĩkua.
Adonai sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel [God prevails] 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.
The people came to Moses [Drawn out], and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against Adonai, and against you. Pray to Adonai, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses [Drawn out] prayed for the people.
8 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thondeka nyoka ũmĩcuurie gĩtugĩ igũrũ; mũndũ o wothe ũrĩĩrũmagwo-rĩ, aamĩrora nĩarĩtũũraga muoyo.”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Make a fiery serpent, and set it up on a pole. It shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees 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.
Moses [Drawn out] made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 Andũ a Isiraeli makiumagara, magĩthiĩ makĩamba hema ciao Obothu.
The children of Israel [God prevails] traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
11 Ningĩ makiuma Obothu magĩthiĩ Iye-Abarimu, makĩamba hema ciao werũ-inĩ ũrĩa ũngʼethanĩire na Moabi mwena wa irathĩro.

12 Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ na mbere, makĩamba hema ciao Kĩanda kĩa Zeredi.
From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
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 there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers]: for the Arnon is the border of Moab [From father], between Moab [From father] and the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers].
14 Na nĩkĩo Ibuku rĩa Mbaara cia Jehova riugĩte atĩrĩ: “… Wahebu thĩinĩ wa Sufa, na mĩkuru, Arinoni
Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Adonai, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
15 na igaragaro-inĩ cia mĩkuru ĩrĩa ithiĩte o nginya kũu Ari, na ĩgatwarana na mũhaka wa Moabi.”
the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab [From father].”
16 Kuuma kũu magĩthiĩ na mbere nginya kũu Biri, gĩthima-inĩ harĩa Jehova erire Musa atĩrĩ, “Cookereria andũ hamwe na nĩngũmahe maaĩ.”
From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “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 [God prevails] sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to 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 well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled 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 to the valley that is in the field of Moab [From father], to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
21 Isiraeli nĩatũmire andũ kũrĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori makamwĩre atĩrĩ:
Israel [God prevails] sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], 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 aside into field, or into vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
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.
Sihon would not allow Israel [God prevails] to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel [God prevails] into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz. He fought against Israel [God prevails].
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.
Israel [God prevails] struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon [Tribal people]; for the border of the children of Ammon [Tribal people] was strong.
25 Isiraeli agĩtunya Aamori matũũra mothe mao marĩa manene na magĩtũũra kuo, o hamwe na Heshiboni na tũtũũra tuothe tũrĩa twarigainie nakuo.
Israel [God prevails] took all these cities. Israel [God prevails] lived in all the cities of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
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 [Descendants of Talkers], who had fought against the former king of Moab [From father], and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
27 Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga aini a marebeta moige atĩrĩ: “Ũkaai Heshiboni nĩgeetha rĩakwo rĩngĩ; itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni nĩrĩcokererio.
Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
28 “Mwaki nĩwoimire kũu Heshiboni, rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũkiuma itũũra inene rĩa Sihoni. Ũkĩniina itũũra rĩa Ari Moabi, o atũũri a kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwa Arinoni.
for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab [From father], The lords of the high places of the 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 [From father]! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers].
30 “No ithuĩ nĩtũmangʼaũranĩtie; Heshiboni kwanangĩtwo guothe nginya o Diboni. Tũmamomorete tũgakinya Nofa, itũũra rĩrĩa rĩkuhanĩrĩirie na Medeba.”
We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
31 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũũra bũrũri ũcio wa Aamori.
Thus Israel [God prevails] lived in the land of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers].
32 Thuutha wa Musa gũtũma andũ magathigaane Jazeri, andũ a Isiraeli magĩtunyana tũtũũra tũrĩa twarigiicĩirie itũũra rĩu, na makĩingata Aamori arĩa maarĩ kuo.
Moses [Drawn out] sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers] who 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.
They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to 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.”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Don’t fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who lived 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 struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
