< Resansman 21 >
1 Wa lavil Arad la, nan rejyon Negèv la, te yon moun peyi Kanaran. Lè li vin tande moun pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap vini sou chemen ki mennen Atarim lan, l' al atake yo. Li fè kèk ladan yo prizonye.
When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked Israel and captured some prisoners.
2 Lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè yon ve bay Seyè a, yo di konsa: -Si ou lage moun sa yo nan men nou, n'ap mete yo tout apa pou ou ansanm ak tout lavil yo. N'ap detwi yo nèt.
So Israel made a vow to the LORD: “If You will deliver this people into our hands, we will devote their cities to destruction.”
3 Seyè a tande sa yo te mande l' la, epi li ede yo, li fè yo mete men sou moun Kanaran yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo disparèt tout moun yo ansanm ak tout lavil yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Oma.
And the LORD heard Israel’s plea and delivered up the Canaanites. Israel devoted them and their cities to destruction; so they named the place Hormah.
4 Moun Izrayèl yo pati, yo kite mòn Or la, yo pran wout ki mennen bò Lanmè Wouj la, pou yo pa pase nan peyi Edon an. Men, antan y'ap vwayaje a, pèp la vin dekouraje.
Then they set out from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, in order to bypass the land of Edom. But the people grew impatient on the journey
5 Pèp la pale Bondye ansanm ak Moyiz mal, yo leve dèyè yo, yo di konsa: -Poukisa nou fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la? Gen lè se pou fè nou vin mouri nan dezè sa a kote ki pa gen ni manje ni dlo. Nou bouke manje vye manje sa a ki pa ka fè anyen pou nou ankò.
and spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you led us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread or water, and we detest this wretched food!”
6 Lè sa a, Seyè a voye yon bann ti sèpan sou pèp la. Kote sèpan sa yo mòde ou la boule kou dife. Yo mòde pèp la. Anpil moun te mouri.
So the LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and many of the Israelites were bitten and died.
7 Pèp la vin jwenn Moyiz, yo di l' konsa: -Nou rekonèt nou fè sa ki mal lè nou pale kont Seyè a ak kont ou menm tou. Tanpri, lapriyè Seyè a pou nou pou l' fè sèpan sa yo ale. Moyiz lapriyè pou pèp la vre.
Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Intercede with the LORD so He will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses interceded for the people.
8 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Fè pòtre yon sèpan parèy ak sèpan sa yo. Mete l' sou yon poto byen wo. Konsa, depi yon sèpan mòde yon moun, moun lan va annik gade pòtre sèpan an, epi li p'ap mouri.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will live.”
9 Moyiz pran kwiv, li fonn li, li fè yon sèpan parèy ak sèpan yo. Lèfini, li mete l' sou yon poto byen wo. Tout moun sèpan mòde, depi yo voye je yo gade sèpan an kwiv la, yo pa mouri.
So Moses made a bronze snake and mounted it on a pole. If anyone who was bitten looked at the bronze snake, he would live.
10 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati, y' al moute kan yo nan fon Obòt la.
Then the Israelites set out and camped at Oboth.
11 Apre sa, yo kite fon Obòt, y' al moute kan yo bò mazi Abarim yo nan dezè ki sou bò lès peyi Moab la.
They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the wilderness opposite Moab to the east.
12 Apre sa ankò, yo kite kote yo te ye a, y' al moute kan yo nan ravin Zerèd.
From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13 Lè yo kite ravin Zerèd, y' al moute kan yo lòt bò larivyè Anon nan dezè ki rive jouk nan teritwa moun Amori yo. Rivyè Anon sa a te sèvi fwontyè ant peyi Moab ak peyi Amori a.
From there they moved on and camped on the other side of the Arnon, in the wilderness that extends into the Amorite territory. Now the Arnon is the border between the Moabites and the Amorites.
14 Se poutèt sa, nan liv istwa ki rakonte batay Seyè a, nou jwenn yo pale sou lavil Vayèb, nan peyi Soufa a, ak ravin li yo, sou rivyè Anon
Therefore it is stated in the Book of the Wars of the LORD: “Waheb in Suphah and the wadis of the Arnon,
15 avèk fon lavalas li yo, ki desann bò lavil Amoab la nan direksyon fwontyè peyi Moab la.
even the slopes of the wadis that extend to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
16 Apre sa, yo kite kote yo te ye a, y' al yon kote yo rele Beyè. Se la Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz, lè li te di l': Reyini tout pèp la. Mwen pral ba yo dlo.
From there they went on to Beer, the well where the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people so that I may give them water.”
17 Lè sa a, moun Izrayèl yo pran chante chante sa a: Pi a bay dlo! Annou chante pou sa!
Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well, all of you sing to it!
18 Pi chèf yo te fouye Avèk baton kòmandan yo! Pi grannèg yo te fouye Avèk baton yo sèvi lè y'ap mache a! Apre sa, yo kite dezè a, y' al moute kan yo Matana.
The princes dug the well; the nobles of the people hollowed it out with their scepters and with their staffs.” From the wilderness the Israelites went on to Mattanah,
19 Lè yo kite Matana, y' ale Nakalyèl. Lè yo kite Nakalyèl, yo moute Bannòt.
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 Lè yo kite Bannòt, y' ale nan fon ki nan peyi Moab la, jouk sou tèt mòn Pisga, kote y'ap gade tout dezè a nan pye yo.
and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland.
21 Lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo voye mesaje bò kote Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, pou di l' konsa:
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 -Kite nou pase ase nan mitan peyi ou la! Nou p'ap kite wout nou pou pase nan mitan jaden ou, ni nan mitan pye rezen ou yo. Ata bwè nou p'ap bwè dlo nan pi ou yo. N'ap rete sou gran chemen ou va moutre nou an, jouk n'a fin travèse lòt bò peyi ou la.
“Let us pass through your land. We will not cut through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will stay on the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.”
23 Men, Siyon pa t' vle kite pèp Izrayèl la pase sou tè li yo. Li leve tout pèp l' a, li mache sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, l' al kontre ak yo yon kote nan dezè a yo rele Jaza, l' atake yo.
But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory. Instead, he gathered his whole army and went out to confront Israel in the wilderness. When he came to Jahaz, he fought against Israel.
24 Men, moun Izrayèl yo touye anpil ladan yo nan batay la, yo pran tout peyi a nan men yo, depi larivyè Anon nan sid rive larivyè Jabòk nan nò, toupre fwontyè peyi Amon an, ki te yon fwontyè byen gade.
And Israel put him to the sword and took possession of his land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok—but only up to the border of the Ammonites, because it was fortified.
25 Se konsa, moun Izrayèl yo pran tout lavil moun Amori yo, depi Esbon, kapital la ak lòt ti bouk nan vwazinaj li ki te sou kont li, epi yo rete ladan yo tout.
Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them, including Heshbon and all its villages.
26 Lavil Esbon te kapital peyi a. Se la Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, te rete. Se menm Siyon sa a ki te goumen kont ansyen wa peyi Moab la epi ki te pran tout peyi a pou li jouk larivyè Anon.
Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land as far as the Arnon.
27 Se poutèt sa sanba yo di: -Ann ale Esbon! Ann al bati l' ankò! Ann al mete lavil wa Siyon an kanpe sou de pye l' ankò!
That is why the poets say: “Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt; let the city of Sihon be restored.
28 Paske yon sèl dife te soti lavil Esbon, Wi, lame wa Siyon an derape tankou yon flanm dife, li boule lavil A Moab. Li devore tout chèf ki rete sou mòn Anon an.
For a fire went out from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the rulers of Arnon’s heights.
29 Sa pral rèd nèt pou nou, moun peyi Moab! Nou pèdi nèt, nou menm sèvitè Kemòch! Bondye nou an fè pitit gason nou yo kouri al kache. Li kite pitit fi nou yo tounen prizonye nan men Siyon, wa peyi Amori a.
Woe to you, O Moab! You are destroyed, O people of Chemosh! He gave up his sons as refugees, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 Men koulye a, se moun lavil Esbon yo ki pèdi nèt fwa sa a! Nou mete kou sou yo depi lavil Esbon rive Dibon! Nou devaste peyi a kite l' blanch jouk Nofak, toupre Medeba.
But we have overthrown them; Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon. We demolished them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
31 Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin rete nan peyi Amori a.
So Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
32 Moyiz menm voye kèk moun wè ki jan sa ye nan lavil Jazè. Apre sa, moun Izrayèl yo mache pran lavil la ak lòt ti bouk ki nan vwazinaj li. Kote yo pase, yo mete moun Amori yo deyò lakay yo.
After Moses had sent spies to Jazer, Israel captured its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo tounen sou wout yo, yo pran chemen ki mennen lavil Bazan. Epi Og, wa lavil Bazan an, leve tout pèp l' a, li vin kontre ak yo pou l' atake yo bò Edreyi.
Then they turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet them in battle at Edrei.
34 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè msye! M'ap fè nou kraze l' anba pye nou, li menm ansanm ak tout pèp l' a. M'ap fè nou pran peyi l' la pou nou. Nou pral fè l' pase sa nou te fè Siyon, wa peyi Amori ki te rete Esbon an, pase.
But the LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”
35 Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo touye Og, ansanm ak pitit gason l' yo ak tout pèp l' a. Yo pa kite yonn chape, yo pran tout peyi a pou yo.
So they struck down Og, along with his sons and his whole army, until no remnant was left. And they took possession of his land.
