Na Helu 21
1 A LOHE ae la ke alii o Arada ka Kanaana, e noho ana ma ke kukuluhema, e hele mai ana ka Iseraela ma ke ala e hiki ai i na wahi ona, alaila, kaua mai la ia i ka Iseraela, a lawe pio aku la i kekahi poe o lakou.
The Canaanite king of Arad who lived in the Negev learned that the Israelites were approaching on the road to Atharim. He went and attacked Israel and took some of them prisoners.
2 Hoohiki aku la ka Iseraela ia Iehova, i aku la, Ina paha e haawi mai oe i keia poe kanaka iloko o ko'u lima, alaila e luku loa aku no au i na kulanakauhale o lakou.
So Israel made a solemn promise to the Lord: “If you hand these people over to us, we pledge to completely destroy their towns.”
3 Hoolohe mai la o Iehova i ka leo o ka Iseraela, a hoolilo mai la i ka poe Kanaana: a luku loa aku la lakou ia lakou la, a me na kulanakauhale o lakou; a kapa aku la ia i ka inoa o ia wahi o Horema.
The Lord responded to their appeal and handed over the Canaanites to them. The Israelites completely destroyed them and their towns, and named the place Hormah.
4 Hele aku la lakou mai ke kuahiwi o Hora aku, ma ke alanui o ke Kaiula, e puni i ka aina o Edoma: a ua pau ke aho o na kanaka no ke alanui.
The Israelites left Mount Hor by the road leading to the Red Sea so they could avoid traveling through the country of Edom. But the people became bad-tempered on the way
5 Olelo ino aku la na kanaka i ke Akua, a ia Mose, No ke aha la olua i kai mai nei ia makou mailoko mai o Aigupita e make ma ka waonahele? no ka mea, aohe berena, aole hoi ho wai; a ke hoopailua nei ko makou naau i keia ai mama.
and made complaints against God and against Moses, saying, “Why did you lead us out of Egypt to die in the desert? We don't have bread or water, and we hate this awful food!”
6 Hoouna mai la o Iehova i na nahesa wela iwaena o na kanaka, a nahu mai la lakou i na kanaka; a he nui na kanaka o ka Iseraela i make.
So the Lord sent poisonous snakes to attack them, and many Israelites were bitten and died.
7 No ia mea, hele mai la na kanaka io Mose la, i mai la, Ua haua hewa makou; no ka mea, ua olelo ino aku makou ia Iehova a ia oe: e pule aku oe ia Iehova, e lawe aku ia i na nahesa mai o makou aku nei. A pule aku la o Mose no na kanaka.
The people went to see Moses and told him, “We were wrong to make complaints against the Lord and against you. Please pray to the Lord to get rid of the snakes from us.” Moses prayed to the Lord on their behalf.
8 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E hana oe nau i nahesa wela, a e kau aku ia maluna o ka laau, a o kela mea keia mea i nahuia, i ka wa e nana aku ai oia ia mea, e ola no ia.
The Lord told Moses, “Make a model of a snake and put it on a pole. When anyone who has been bitten looks at it, they will live.”
9 A hana iho la o Mose i nahesa keleawe, a kau aku la ia maluna o ka laau; a o ke kanaka i nahuia i ka nahesa wela, i ka wa i nana aku ai oia i ka nahesa keleawe, ua ola ia.
Moses made a snake out of bronze and put it on a pole. Those who looked at it did live.
10 A hele aku la na mamo a Iseraela, a hoomoana iho la ma Obota.
The Israelites left and camped at Oboth.
11 A hele lakou mai Obota aku, a hoomoana iho la ma Iieabarima, i ka waonahele ma ke alo o Moaba, ma ka hikina o ka la.
Then they moved on from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the desert on the east side of Moab.
12 Mailaila aku lakou i hele ai, a hoomoana iho la ma ke kahawai o Zareda.
They left there and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13 Mailaila aku lakou i hele ai, a hoomoana iho la ma hela aoao o Arenona, ma ka waonahele e hele mai ana mailoko mai o na palena o ka Amora; no ka mea, o Arenona oia ka palena o Moaba, mawaena o Moaba a me ka Amora.
Then they moved on from there and camped on the far side of the Arnon River, in the desert near Amorite territory. The Arnon River is the border between the Moab and the Amorites.
14 Nolaila, ua olelo ia maloko o ka buke o na kaua a Iehova, ma Vaheba ma Supa, a ma na kahawai o Arenona,
That's why the Book of the Wars of the Lord refers to “the town of Waheb in Suphah and the canyon of the Arnon,
15 A ma ke kahe ana o na kahawai, ka mea hele ma ka noho ana o Ara, a moe iho ma ka palena o Moaba.
the canyon slopes that reach the village of Ar that lies on the border with Moab.”
16 Mailaila aku lakou a Beera; oia ka punawai kahi a Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Mose, E hoakoakoa i na kanaka, a e haawi aku no wau i wai no lakou.
From there they moved on to Beer, the well where the Lord told Moses, “Have the people gather together so I can give them water.”
17 Alaila mele aku la ka Iseraela i keia mele, E huahuai mai, e ka punawai; E mele aku oukou ia ia:
Then the Israelites sang this song: “Pour out water, well! Everyone of you sing to it!
18 O na luna ka i kohi iho i ka punawai, O na'lii o na kanaka i eli iho ia, Mamuli o ka Lunakanawai, me na kookoo o lakou. A mai ka waonahele aku lakou a Matana;
The tribal chiefs dug the well; yes the leaders of the people dug the well with their rods of authority and their walking sticks.” The Israelites left the desert and carried on to Mattanah.
19 A mai Matana aku a Nahaliela; a mai Nahaliela aku a Bamota:
From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 A mai Bamota aku lakou a i ke awawa ma ke kula o Moaba, malalo o ka puu o Pisega, ma ka aoao e huli ana i ka waonahele.
and from Bamoth to the valley in the territory of Moab where the top of Mount Pisgah looks down on the wastelands.
21 Hoouna aku la ka Iseraela i na elele io Sihona la ke alii o ka Amora, i aku la,
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, with the following request:
22 E ae mai oe e hele aku wau mawaena o kou aina: aole makou e kipa ma na mahinaai, aole hoi ma na pawaina: aole makou e inu i ka wai o ka punawai; e hele aku no makou ma ke alanui o ke alii, a hala aku la makou mai kou mau palena aku.
“Please allow us to travel through your country. We won't cross any of your fields or vineyards, or drink water from any of your wells. We will stay on the King's Highway until we have passed through your country.”
23 Aole no i ae mai o Sihona e hele aku ka Iseraela mawaena o kona mau palena: aku, hoakoakoa ae la o Sihona i kona poe kanaka a pau, a hele aku la iloko o ka waonahele e ku e i ka Iseraela: a hele mai la ia i Iahaza, a kaua mai la i ka Iseraela.
But Sihon refused to allow the Israelites to travel through his territory. Instead, he called out his whole army and went out to meet the Israelites head-on in the desert. When he arrived at Jahaz, he attacked the Israelites.
24 Luku aku la ka Iseraela la ia i ka pahikaua, a komo aku la i kona aina mai Arenona a Iaboka, a hiki i na mamo a Amona: no ka mea, ua paa ka palena o na mamo a Amona.
The Israelites defeated them, killing them with their swords. They took over his land from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River —but only as far as the border of the Ammonites, because it was well defended.
25 Lawe pio ae la ka Iseraela i keia mau kulanakauhale a pau: a noho iho la ka Iseraela ma na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Amora, i Hesebona, a i na kauhale a pau o ia wahi.
The Israelites conquered all the Amorite towns and took them over, including Heshbon and its surrounding villages.
26 No ka mea, o Hesebona ke kulanakauhale o Sihona ke alii o ka Amora, nana i kaua aku mamua i ke alii o Moaba, a lawe ae la i kona aina a pau mai kona lima aku, a hiki i Arenona.
Heshbon was the capital of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the previous king of Moab and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon River.
27 No ia mea, i mai la na hakumele, E hele oukou iloko o Hesebona, e hana hou ia Ke kulanakauhale o Sihona e hookumuia:
That's why the old songwriters wrote: “Come to Heshbon and have it be rebuilt; restore the town of Sihon!
28 No ka mea, mai Hesebona i hele aku ai ke ahi, He lapalapa ahi ma ke kulanakauhale o Sihona aku: Ua hoopau oia ia Ara o Moaba, A me na haku o na wahi kiekie o Arenona.
For a fire blazed out from Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon. It burned up Ar in Moab where the rulers live on the high places of Arnon.
29 Auwe oe, e Moaba! ua make no oe! E na kanaka o Kemosa! Ua haawi aku ia i kana mau keikikane i pakele, A me kana mau kaikamahine, i poe pio No ke alii o ka Amora, no Sihona.
What a disaster you face, Moab! You are all going to die, people of Chemosh! You handed over your sons as exiles and your daughters as prisoners to Sihon, king of the Amorites.
30 Ua pana pua aku makou ia lakou; Ua lukuia o Hesebona a hiki i Dibona, Ua hooneoneo makou a hiki aku i Nopa, A hiki hoi i Medeba.
But now we have defeated the Amorites! Heshbon's rule has been destroyed all the way to Dibon. We wiped them out all the way to Nophah and on to Medeba.”
31 A noho iho la ka Iseraela ma ka aina o ka Amora.
The Israelites occupied the country of the Amorites.
32 A hoouna aku la o Mose e makaikai ia Iaazera, a komo lakou i na kulanakauhale o ia wahi, a hookuke aku la i ka Amora malaila.
Moses sent men to explore Jazer. The Israelites conquered its surrounding villages and expelled the Amorites living there.
33 Haliu ae la lakou, a pii aku la ma ke alanui o Basana: a hele mai la o Oga ke alii o Basana e ku e mai ia lakou, oia a me kona poe kanaka a pau, i ke kaua ma Ederei.
Then they continued on the road towards Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, led his whole army out to meet them head on, and fought them at Edrei.
34 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Mai makau oe ia ia; no ka mea, ua haawi aku no wau ia ia iloko o kou lima, me kona kanaka a pau, a me kona aina: a e hana aku oe ia ia me kau i hana aku ai ia Sihona ke alii o ka Amora i noho ma Hesebona.
The Lord told Moses, “You don't need to be afraid of him, because I have handed him over to you, along with all his people and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled from Heshbon.”
35 A luku aku la lakou ia ia, me kana mau keikikane, a me kona poe kanaka a pau, aole i koe kekahi e ola ana nona: a komo aku la lakou i kona aina.
So they killed Og, his sons, and all his army. Nobody survived, and the Israelites took over his country.
