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 when the Canaanite, the king of 'Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel was coming by the way of the spies: he made an attack on Israel, and took from them some 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.”
And Israel made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt but deliver this people into my hand, then will I devote their cities.
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 hearkened to the voice of Israel, and he delivered up the Canaanites; and they devoted them and their cities: and they called the name of the place Chormah.
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.
And they set forward from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people became impatient because of 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 the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this miserable bread.
6 SENYÈ a te voye sèpan dife pami pèp la. Yo te mòde pèp la, e anpil nan pèp Israël la te mouri.
And the Lord let loose against the people poisonous serpents, and they bit the people; and there died much 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.
And the people then came to Moses, and they said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away from us the serpents. And Moses prayed 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 unto Moses, Make thyself a serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that whoever is bitten shall look at it, and he shall live.
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.
And Moses made a serpent of copper, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, that, when a serpent had bitten any man, and he looked up to the serpent of copper, he remained alive.
10 Alò, fis Israël yo te deplase e te fè kan an nan Oboth.
And the children of Israel set forward, and encamped 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 they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at 'Iye-ha'abarim, in the wilderness, which is before Moab, toward the rising of the sun.
12 Soti la, yo te pati pou te fè kan an nan vale Zéred la.
From there they set forward and encamped 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 set forward, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, and which cometh out of the boundary of the Emorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and between the Emorites.
14 Konsa, sa di nan Liv Lagè SENYÈ a: “Vaheb nan Supha, avèk ravin sèch nan Arnon an,
Therefore mention is made in the book of the wars of the Lord, of Vaheb in Supha, and of the brooks of Arnon,
15 ak pant ki rive nan ravin sèch yo ki rive jis nan kote Ar la e ki touche nan lizyè Moab la.”
And the descent of the brooks, that turneth toward Shebeth-'Ar, and leaneth upon the border 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.”
And from there to the well; this is the well where the Lord said unto Moses, Assemble the people and I will give them water.
17 Epi Israël te chante chan sila a: “Vin bwote o pwi! Chante a li!
Then did Israel sing this song, Come up, O well; sing ye unto 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,
Well, which the princes have dug, which the nobles of the people have hollowed out with the sceptre, with their staves; — and from the wilderness to Mattanah;
19 soti Matthana a Nahaliel, soti nan Nahaliel a Bamoth,
And from Mattanah to Nachaliel; and from Nachaliel 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, which is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward the desert.
21 Alò Israël te voye mesaje yo bay Sihon, wa a Amoreyen yo. Li te di:
And Israel sent messengers unto Sichon the king of the Emorites, 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 pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink the water of a well: by the king's highway will we go along, until we have passed thy border.
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.
But Sichon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; and Sichon assembled all his people together; and went out against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Yahaz, and fought against 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.
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from Arnon unto Yabbok, even unto the children of 'Ammon; for the border of the children of 'Ammon was strong.
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 these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Emorites, in Cheshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
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 Cheshbon was the city of Sichon the king of the Emorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, up to 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.
Therefore said the poets, Come into Cheshbon, let the city of Sichon be built and established.
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 is gone out of Cheshbon, a flame from the city of Sichon: it hath consumed 'Ar-Moab, the men 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.
Woe to thee, Moab! thou art lost, O people of Kemosh: he hath suffered his sons to become fugitives, and his daughters to go into captivity, unto the king of the Emorites, Sichon.
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.”
We have thrown them down; lost is Cheshbon even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste [all] up to Nophach, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Pou sa a, Israël te viv nan peyi Amoreyen yo.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Emorites.
32 Moïse te voye espyone Jaezer. Yo te kaptire vil li yo e te piyaje Amoreyen ki te la yo.
And Moses sent to spy out Ya'zer, and they captured the villages thereof, and drove out the Emorites that were 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.
And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and 'Og, the king of Bashan, went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle 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 unto Moses, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I delivered him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.
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.
And they smote him and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left unto him that escaped; and they took possession of his land.
