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 the Canaanite, the king of Arad who dwelt in the South, heard that Israel had entered by the way of Atharim, —so he made war with Israel, and took some of them captive.
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 vowed vow unto Yahweh, and said, —If thou wilt, surely deliver up, this people into my hand, then will I utterly destroy 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 Yahweh hearkened unto the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanite into his hand, so he utterly destroyed them, and their cities, and called the name of the place Hormah [that is, "Utter Destruction"].
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 brake they up from Mount Hor, by way of the Red Sea, to go round the land of Edom, —and the soul 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.”
So then the people spake against God and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt, to die in the desert? for there is neither bread nor water, and our soul, doth loathe this contemptible 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 Yahweh sent among the people the poisonous serpents, and they bit the people, —and much people out of Israel died.
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 came the people of Israel unto Moses and said—We have sinned in that we spake against Yahweh and against thee, Pray thou unto Yahweh, that he may take from us the serpent. So 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.”
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Make thee a like serpent, and put it upon standard, —and it shall come to pass, that, any one who is bitten, as soon as he seeth it, 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.
So Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon the standard, —and it came to pass—that if the serpent had bitten any man, as soon as he directed his look unto the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 Alò, fis Israël yo te deplase e te fè kan an nan Oboth.
And the sons of Israel brake up, —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 brake up from Oboth, —and encamped in Ije-Abarim, in the desert which is over against Moab, towards the rising of the sun.
12 Soti la, yo te pati pou te fè kan an nan vale Zéred la.
From thence, brake they up, —and encamped in the ravine 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 thence, brake they up, and encamped on the other side of Arnon which is in the desert, that cometh forth out of the boundary of the Amorites, —for, Arnon, is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Konsa, sa di nan Liv Lagè SENYÈ a: “Vaheb nan Supha, avèk ravin sèch nan Arnon an,
For this cause is it said, in the Book of the Wars of Yahweh, — …Waheb with a hurricane, And the ravines 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 bottom of the ravines, that extendeth toward the dwelling of Ar, —And adjoineth to the boundary 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 thence, towards Beer, —the same, is the well whereof Yahweh said unto Moses, Gather together the people, that I may give them water.
17 Epi Israël te chante chan sila a: “Vin bwote o pwi! Chante a li!
Then, sang Israel this song, —Spring thou up, O well! Respond ye thereunto;
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,
A well!—princes digged it, Nobles of the people, delved it, With a sceptre, With their staves. And, from the desert, 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 of the valley, which is in the field-country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, —which overlooketh Jeshimon.
21 Alò Israël te voye mesaje yo bay Sihon, wa a Amoreyen yo. Li te di:
Then sent Israel messengers, unto 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 pass through thy land we will not turn aside into field or into vineyard, nor will we drink the water of a well, —by the king’s road, will we go, until we get through thy boundary.
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 suffered not Israel to pass through his boundary, but Sihon gathered together all his people, and came forth to meet Israel, towards the desert, and entered Jahaz, and fought with 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 Jabbok, unto the sons of Ammon, for strong, was the boundary of the sons of Ammon.
25 Israël te pran tout vil yo e Israël te viv nan tout vil Amoreyen yo, nan Hesbon ak nan tout vil li yo.
So Israel took all these cities, —and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all her villages;
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, as for Heshbon, the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, it was, he, having fought with the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, unto 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.
For this cause, say the poets—Enter ye Heshbon, —Built and prepared be the city of Sihon;
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, hath come forth out of Heshbon, A flame, out of the stronghold of Sihon; It hath consumed Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of 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 Chemosh, —He hath given up his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, Unto the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
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.”
Then we shot them—Heshbon is destroyed, as far as Dibon, —Then laid we waste as far as Nophah, A fire reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Pou sa a, Israël te viv nan peyi Amoreyen yo.
So then Israel dwelt 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 to spy out Jazer, and they captured the villages thereof, —and dispossessed the Amorites 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.
Then turned they, and went up by the way of Bashan, —and Og, king of Bashan, came forth to meet them—he and all his people, to give 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.”
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Do not fear him, for into thy hand, have I delivered him and all his people, and his land, —Therefore shalt thou do unto him, as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who was dwelling in 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 then they smote him and his sons and all his people, until there was not left him a remnant, —and took possession of his land.
