< 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.
And the Canaanite — king Arad — dwelling in the south, heareth that Israel hath come the way of the Atharim, and he fighteth against Israel, and taketh [some] of them captive.
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.
And Israel voweth a vow to Jehovah, and saith, 'If Thou dost certainly give this people into my hand, then I have devoted their cities;'
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 Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Israel, and giveth up the Canaanite, and he devoteth them and their cities, and calleth the name of 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.
And they journey from mount Hor, the way of the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom, and the soul of the people is short in the way,
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 the people speak against God, and against Moses, 'Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul hath been weary of this light bread.'
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.
And Jehovah sendeth among the people the burning serpents, and they bite the people, and much people of Israel die;
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.
and the people come in unto Moses and say, 'We have sinned, for we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, and He doth turn aside from us the serpent;' and Moses prayeth in behalf of 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.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Make for thee a burning [serpent], and set it on an ensign; and it hath been, every one who is bitten and hath seen it — he hath lived.
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.
And Moses maketh a serpent of brass, and setteth it on the ensign, and it hath been, if the serpent hath bitten any man, and he hath looked expectingly unto the serpent of brass — he hath lived.
10 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati, y' al moute kan yo nan fon Obòt la.
And the sons of Israel journey, and encamp in 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.
And they journey from Oboth, and encamp in Ije-Abarim, in the wilderness that [is] on the front of Moab, at the rising of the sun.
12 Apre sa ankò, yo kite kote yo te ye a, y' al moute kan yo nan ravin Zerèd.
From thence they have journeyed, and encamp in the valley of Zared.
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 thence they have journeyed, and encamp beyond Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness which is coming out of the border of the Amorite, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorite;
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 said in a book, 'The wars of Jehovah,' — 'Waheb in Suphah, And the brooks of Arnon;
15 avèk fon lavalas li yo, ki desann bò lavil Amoab la nan direksyon fwontyè peyi Moab la.
And the spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the dwelling of Ar, And hath leaned to 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.
And from thence [they journeyed] to Beer; it [is] the well [concerning] which Jehovah said to Moses, 'Gather the people, and I give to them — water.'
17 Lè sa a, moun Izrayèl yo pran chante chante sa a: Pi a bay dlo! Annou chante pou sa!
Then singeth Israel this song, concerning the well — they have answered 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.
'A well — digged it have princes, Prepared it have nobles of the people, With the lawgiver, with their staves.' And from the wilderness [they journeyed] 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 in the valley which [is] in the field of Moab [to] the top of Pisgah, which hath looked on the front of the wilderness.
21 Lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo voye mesaje bò kote Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, pou di l' konsa:
And Israel sendeth messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorite, 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 me pass through thy land, we do not turn aside into a field, or into a vineyard, we do not drink waters of a well; in the king's way we go, till that we pass over thy border.'
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.
And Sihon hath not suffered Israel to pass through his border, and Sihon gathereth all his people, and cometh out to meet Israel into the wilderness, and cometh in to Jahaz, and fighteth 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 smiteth him by the mouth of the sword, and possesseth his land from Arnon unto Jabbok — unto the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon [is] strong.
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.
And Israel taketh all these cities, and Israel dwelleth in all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon, and in 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.
for Heshbon is a city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he hath fought against the former king of Moab, and taketh all his land out of his hand, unto 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!
therefore those using similes say — 'Enter ye Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,
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 fire hath gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, It hath consumed Ar of Moab, Owners of the high places of Arnon.
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 thee, O Moab, Thou hast perished, O people of Chemosh, He hath given his sons who escape — Also his daughters — Into captivity, to a king of the Amorite — Sihon!
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.
And we shoot them, Perished hath Heshbon unto Dibon, And we make desolate unto Nophah, Which [is] unto Medeba.'
31 Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin rete nan peyi Amori a.
And Israel dwelleth in the land of the Amorite,
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.
and Moses sendeth to spy out Jaazer, and they capture its villages, and dispossess the Amorite who [is] 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.
and turn and go up the way of Bashan, and Og king of Bashan cometh out to meet them, he and all his people, to 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.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Fear him not, for into thy hand I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and thou hast done to him as thou hast done to Sihon king of the Amorite, who is dwelling 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.
And they smite him, and his sons, and all his people, until he hath not left to him a remnant, and they possess his land.
