Resansman 21
1 Lè Chèf Canaran an, wa Arad la, ki te viv nan Negev la te tande ke Israël t ap vini pa chemen a Atharim nan; alò, li te goumen kont Israël, e li te pran kèk nan yo an kaptif.
And it came to the ears of the Canaanite, the king of Arad, living in the South, that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, and he came out against them and took some of them prisoners.
2 Konsa, Israël te fè yon ve a SENYÈ a, e te di: “Si Ou va vrèman livre pèp sa a nan men m; alò, mwen va detwi vil pa yo a nèt.”
Then Israel made an oath to the Lord, and said, If you will give up this people into my hands, then I will send complete destruction on all their towns.
3 SENYÈ a te tande vwa Israël. Li te livre yo bay Canaran, epi yo te detwi yo nèt ansanm avèk vil yo. Konsa, kote sa a te vin releHorma.
And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them; and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.
4 Yo te sòti nan Mòn Hor pa wout Lamè Wouj la, pou travèse peyi Édom an. Epi pèp la te vin pèdi pasyans akoz vwayaj la.
Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.
5 Pèp la te pale kont Bondye ak Moïse: “Poukisa ou te mennen nou sòti an Égypte pou mouri nan dezè a? Paske nanpwen manje, ni dlo, e nou rayi move manje sila a.”
And crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.
6 SENYÈ a te voye sèpan dife pami pèp la. Yo te mòde pèp la, e anpil nan pèp Israël la te mouri.
Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.
7 Konsa, pèp la te vini a Moïse e te di: “Nou te peche, pwiske nou te pale kont SENYÈ a ak ou menm. Entèsede pou nou avèk SENYÈ a, pou Li kapab retire sèpan sa yo sou nou.” Epi Moïse te entèsede pou pèp la.
Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.
8 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Fè yon sèpan dife e mete li sou yon poto. Konsa, li va vin rive ke tout moun ki mòde, lè li gade li, l ap viv.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Make an image of a snake and put it on a rod, and anyone who has been wounded by the snakes, looking on it will be made well.
9 Moïse te fè yon sèpan an bwonz e li te mete li sou poto a. Epi li te vin rive ke si yon sèpan te mòde nenpòt moun, lè li te gade vè sèpan an bwonz lan, li te viv.
So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod; and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.
10 Alò, fis Israël yo te deplase e te fè kan an nan Oboth.
Then the children of Israel went on and put up their tents in Oboth.
11 Yo te vwayaje soti Oboth pou te fè kan an nan Ijje-Abarim, nan dezè ki anfas Moab a lès la.
And journeying on again from Oboth, they put up their tents in Iye-abarim, in the waste land before Moab looking east.
12 Soti la, yo te pati pou te fè kan an nan vale Zéred la.
And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.
13 Soti la, yo te vwayaje pou te fè kan an sou lòt kote Arnon an, ki se nan dezè ki sòti nan lizyè Amoreyen yo, paske Arnon se te fwontyè Moab, antre Moab ak Amoreyen yo.
From there they went on and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon, which is on the waste land at the edge of the land of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the line of division between Moab and the Amorites:
14 Konsa, sa di nan Liv Lagè SENYÈ a: “Vaheb nan Supha, avèk ravin sèch nan Arnon an,
As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;
15 ak pant ki rive nan ravin sèch yo ki rive jis nan kote Ar la e ki touche nan lizyè Moab la.”
The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.
16 Soti la, yo rive jis nan Beer, ki se pwi kote SENYÈ a te di Moïse, reyini pèp la pou Mwen kapab bay yo dlo a.”
From there they went on to Beer, the water-spring of which the Lord said to Moses, Make the people come together and I will give them water.
17 Epi Israël te chante chan sila a: “Vin bwote o pwi! Chante a li!
Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:
18 Pwi a ke prens yo nan pèp la te fouye, Avèk baton wayal ak Baton soutyen pa yo.” Epi soti nan dezè a, yo te kontinye a Matthana,
The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:
19 soti Matthana a Nahaliel, soti nan Nahaliel a Bamoth,
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 soti Bamoth nan vale ki nan peyi Moab la, nan pwent lan vè Mòn Pisga ki kanpe anwo tout dezè a.
And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.
21 Alò Israël te voye mesaje yo bay Sihon, wa a Amoreyen yo. Li te di:
And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,
22 “Kite mwen pase nan peyi ou a. Nou p ap menm vire nan chan, oswa nan rezen yo. Nou p ap bwè dlo nan pwi yo. Nou va ale nan chemen Wa a jiskaske nou fin depase limit fwontyè pa w la.”
Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.
23 Men Sihon pa t kite Israël pase nan fwontyè pa li a. Konsa, Sihon te ranmase tout pèp li a pou te sòti kont Israël nan dezè a. Yo te rive a Jahats pou te goumen kont Israël.
And Sihon would not let Israel go through his land; but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.
24 Konsa, Israël te frape li avèk tranch nepe, e te pran posesyon peyi li a soti Arnon pou jis rive Jabbok, soti distans a fis Ammon yo; paske nan fwontyè a fis Ammon yo, se te Jazer.
But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.
25 Israël te pran tout vil yo e Israël te viv nan tout vil Amoreyen yo, nan Hesbon ak nan tout vil li yo.
And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.
26 Paske Hesbon, se te vil a Sihon, wa a Amoreyen yo, ki te goumen kont ansyen wa Moab la, e li te retire tout peyi li a nan men li, jis rive nan Arnon.
For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.
27 Se pou sa ke sila ki sèvi ak pwovèb yo di: “Vini Hesbon! Kite li bati! Konsa kite vil a Sihon an fin etabli.
So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:
28 Paske yon dife te sòti nan Hesbon, Yon flanm soti nan vil a Sihon; Li te devore Ar nan Moab, Pwent wo yo domine Arnon
For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon: for the destruction of Ar in Moab, and the lords of the high places of the Arnon.
29 Malè a nou menm, O Moab! Nou gen tan fin gate nèt, O pèp Kemosch la! Li te bay fis li yo kòm sila k ap sove ale, Epi fi li yo kòm kaptif, pou yon wa Amoreyen, Sihon.
Sorrow is yours, O Moab! Destruction is your fate, O people of Chemosh: his sons have gone in flight, and his daughters are prisoners, in the hands of Sihon, king of the Amorites.
30 Nou te tire sou yo. Hesbon fin gate jis rive Dibon. Konsa, nou te fin piyaje jis rive Nophach, Ki rive nèt nan Médaba.”
They are wounded with our arrows; destruction has come on Heshbon, even to Dibon; and we have made the land waste as far as Nophah, stretching out to Medeba.
31 Pou sa a, Israël te viv nan peyi Amoreyen yo.
So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.
32 Moïse te voye espyone Jaezer. Yo te kaptire vil li yo e te piyaje Amoreyen ki te la yo.
And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.
33 Epi yo te vire monte nan wout Basan, e Og, wa Basan an, te sòti avèk tout pèp li a pou fè bati Édréï.
Then turning they went up by the way of Bashan; and Og, king of Bashan, went out against them with all his people, to the fight at Edrei.
34 Men SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pa pè li, paske Mwen te bay li nan men nou, tout pèp li a ak tout peyi li a. Ou va fè avèk li jan ou te fè Sihon, wa Amoreyen, ki te viv Hesbon yo.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Have no fear of him: for I have given him up into your hands, with all his people and his land; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, at Heshbon.
35 Konsa, yo te touye li avèk fis li yo ak tout pèp li a, jis pa t menm gen yon retay ki te rete de li. Konsa, yo te posede peyi li a.
So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.
