Ọnụọgụgụ 21
1 Mgbe eze Kenan, bụ Arad, onye bi na Negev nụrụ na ndị Izrel na-agbaso ụzọ ahụ na-aga obodo Atarim, ọ chịkọtara ndị agha ya, pụkwuru ndị Izrel, lụso ha agha. Ọ dọtara ụfọdụ nʼime ha nʼagha.
And when king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, had heard this, to wit, that Israel was come by the way of the spies, he fought against them, and overcoming them carried off their spoils.
2 Mgbe ahụ, ndị Izrel kwere Onyenwe anyị nkwa sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-enyere anyị aka imeri eze Arad na ndị ya, anyị ga-ebibi obodo ha niile kpamkpam.”
But Israel binding himself by vow to the Lord, said: It thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 Onyenwe anyị ṅara ntị nʼarịrịọ ha, nyere ha aka imeri ndị Kenan ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel bibiri obodo ha niile, na ndị niile bi nʼime ya. Ya mere, aha a kpọrọ ebe ahụ niile bụ Homa.
And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and delivered up the Chanaanite, and they cut them off and destroyed their cities: and they called the name of that place Horma, that is to say, Anathema.
4 Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel sitere nʼugwu Hor bilie ije ha, si ụzọ gawara Osimiri Uhie, ka ha nwee ike gaa gburugburu ala ndị Edọm. Ma ndị Izrel enweghị ntachiobi oge niile ha nọ nʼije a.
And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and labour:
5 Ha kwuru okwu megide Chineke na Mosis sị, “Gịnị mere i ji site nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta anyị ka anyị nwụsịa nʼọzara a? Lee na nri ọbụla adịghị nʼebe a, mmiri ọṅụṅụ adịghịkwa, ike iri mánà a na-enweghị isi agwụkwala anyị.”
And speaking against God and Moses, they said: Why didst thou bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food.
6 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị zitere agwọ ọjọọ na-ata ata nʼetiti ha. Agwọ ndị a tagbukwara ọtụtụ nʼime ụmụ Izrel.
Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.
7 Mgbe ahụ, ndị Izrel bịakwutere Mosis sị ya, “Anyị emehiela, nʼihi na anyị ekwuluola Onyenwe anyị, kwulukwaa gị onwe gị. Biko rịọrọ anyị Onyenwe anyị ka o wezugara anyị agwọ ọjọọ ndị a.” Mosis rịọrọ arịrịọ nʼihi ha.
Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and thee: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Kpụọ otu agwọ yiri agwọ ndị a. Kwụba ya nʼọnụ ogologo osisi nke ị ga-amanye nʼala ebe mmadụ niile ga-ahụ ya anya. Onye ọbụla agwọ ọjọọ a tara ga-adị ndụ ma ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-ewelite anya ya elu lekwasị agwọ ahụ ị kwụbara nʼelu osisi ahụ.”
And the Lord said to him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.
9 Ya mere, Mosis ji bronz kpụta agwọ yiri otu nʼime agwọ ndị ahụ, tinye ya nʼọnụ osisi dị ogologo. Onye ọbụla kwa agwọ ahụ tara nke welitere anya ya elu lee agwọ bronz ahụ anya, dịkwara ndụ.
Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.
10 Ụmụ Izrel biliri njem, manye ụlọ ikwu ha na Obot.
And the children of Israel setting forwards camped in Oboth.
11 Ha sikwa nʼObot bilie njem, maa ụlọ ikwu ha na Iye Abarim, nʼọzara ahụ nke chere ihu nʼobodo Moab, nʼụzọ ọwụwa anyanwụ.
And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east.
12 Ha si nʼebe ahụ bilie njem, manye ụlọ ikwu ha na Ndagwurugwu Zered.
And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared:
13 Ha sitekwara nʼebe ahụ bilie njem, maa ụlọ ikwu ha nʼofe iyi Anọn nke dị nʼọzara ruru nʼoke ala ndị Amọrait. Iyi Anọn bụ oke ala Moab, nʼetiti ndị Moab na ndị Amọrait.
Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites.
14 Nʼihi nke a, nʼAkwụkwọ Agha dị iche iche nke Onyenwe anyị na-asị, “Waheb nʼime Sufa ya na ndagwurugwu niile Anọn
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Amen.
15 na mgbadata ndagwurugwu ndị ahụ nke gbasapụrụ ruo nʼebe Ar dị, nke tọgbọrọ nʼoke ala Moab.”
The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.
16 Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel niile biliri njem bịarute Bịa bụ nʼolulu mmiri ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis iwu sị, “Kpọkọtaa ndị Izrel niile, nʼihi na m na-aga inye ha mmiri.”
When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ Izrel bụrụ abụ a. “Sọpụta gị olulu mmiri! Bụọnụ abụ banyere mmiri a!
Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:
18 Olulu mmiri ụmụ ndị eze gwuru nke ndị ndu anyị doziri. Mkpara eze ha na mkpara ha, ka ha ji gwuo ya.” Emesịa, ha hapụrụ ọzara ahụ, gaa nʼihu ruo nʼobodo Matana.
The well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana.
19 Ha si Matana jeruo Nahaliel, si Nahaliel jeruo Bamot.
From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.
20 Sitekwa Bamot rute na ndagwurugwu ahụ dị nʼọhịa Moab, ruo nʼugwu Pisga, nke chere ihu nʼala ahụ tọgbọrọ nʼefu.
From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.
21 Ndị Izrel zipụrụ ndị ozi ka ha jekwuru Saịhọn, eze ndị Amọrait, sị ya,
And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying:
22 “Biko, kwere ka anyị site nʼobodo gị gafee. Anyị agaghị atụgharị banye nʼime ala ubi gị maọbụ nʼubi vaịnị, maọbụ ṅụọ mmiri site nʼolulu mmiri ọbụla dị nʼala gị. Anyị ga-eje nʼokporoụzọ eze tutu ruo mgbe anyị ga-agabiga oke ala gị.”
I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king’s highway, till we be past thy borders.
23 Ma Saịhọn ekweghị na ụmụ Izrel ga-esi nʼoke ala ya gafee. Ọ chịkọtara ndị agha ya niile, zọpụ ije ibu agha megide ndị Izrel nʼime ọzara ahụ. Mgbe o rutere Jehaz, ọ lụsoro Izrel agha.
And he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa, and fought against them.
24 Ma Izrel jiri mma agha gbuo ya. Nwetara onwe ha ala ya, site nʼiyi Anọn ruo nʼiyi Jabọk, gamiekwa rute nʼoke ala ha na ndị Amọn, ha kwụsịrị nʼihi nʼoke ala ndị Amọn siri ike karịa.
And he was slain by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jeboc, and to the confines of the children of Ammon: for the borders of the Ammonites, were kept with a strong garrison.
25 Ndị Izrel lụgburu obodo niile nke ndị Amọrait bichie nʼime ha, tinyere Heshbọn na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu.
So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof.
26 Heshbọn bụ isi obodo Saịhọn, eze ndị Amọrait onye busoro eze naara achị Moab agha dọta ala ya niile nʼagha ruo Anọn.
Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominions, as far as the Arnon.
27 Ọ bụ nke a mere ndị na-arọ abụ ji kwuo sị, “Bịa na Heshbọn ka e wukwaa ya, ka e mee ka isi obodo eze Saịhọn guzosie ike.
Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:
28 “Nʼihi na ọkụ esitela na Heshbọn pụọ. Ire ọkụ esitela nʼobodo ukwu Saịhọn, rechapụ obodo Ar, nke dị na Moab, ndị nwe ebe niile dị elu nke Anọn.
A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon.
29 Ahụhụ dịrị gị Moab! Ndị a lara nʼiyi ka unu bụ, unu ndị Kemosh. Ụmụ ya ndị ikom aghọọla ndị na-enweghị ebe obibi. A dọtala ụmụ ndị inyom nʼagha, nye Saịhọn eze ndị Amọrait.
Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites.
30 “Ma anyị ebibiela ha, bibie Heshbọn ruo rịị na Dibọn, bibie ha ruo Nofa, ruokwa rịị Medeba.”
Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba.
31 Ya mere, ụmụ Izrel bichiri nʼala ndị Amọrait.
So Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorrhite.
32 Emesịa, Mosis zipụrụ ndị nnyopụta ka ha ga nyochaa Jeza. Ụmụ Izrel tigburu obodo niile dị gburugburu ya chụpụkwa ndị Amọrait bi nʼebe ahụ.
And Moses sent some to take a view of Jazer: and they took the villages of it, and conquered the inhabitants.
33 Mgbe ahụ, ha chigharịrị gbagoo nʼụzọ gawara Bashan. Ma Ọg, eze Bashan, na ndị agha ya niile biliri chịrị agha pụọ izute ha na Edrei.
And they turned themselves, and went up by the way of Basan, and Og the king of Basan came against them with all his people, to fight in Edrai.
34 Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu, sị, “Atụla ya egwu nʼihi na ewerela m ya na ndị agha ya niile, na ala ya, nyefee gị nʼaka. Mee ya ihe i mere Saịhọn eze ndị Amọrait onyeisi obodo ya bụ Heshbọn.”
And the Lord said to Moses: Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people, and his country into thy hand: and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, the inhabitant of Hesebon.
35 Ya mere, ha gburu ya, tinyere ụmụ ya na ndị agha ya niile, na-ahapụghị onye ọbụla ndụ nye ha. Ha nwetakwara ala ha, biri nʼime ya.
So they slew him also with his sons, and all his people, not letting any one escape, and they possessed his land.
