Bilangan 21
1 Arad adalah sebuah kota di bagian selatan negeri Kanaan. Ketika raja kota itu mendengar bahwa orang Israel datang lewat jalan Atarim, pergilah ia menyerang mereka dan menawan beberapa orang di antara mereka.
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 Lalu orang Israel berkaul begini kepada TUHAN, "Jika Engkau memberi kemenangan mutlak kepada kami atas bangsa itu, mereka dan kota-kota mereka akan kami tumpas sampai habis."
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 TUHAN menerima permintaan orang Israel dan menolong mereka mengalahkan orang Kanaan. Maka orang Israel membinasakan orang-orang Kanaan itu serta kota-kota mereka, lalu tempat itu mereka namakan Horma.
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 Kemudian orang Israel meninggalkan Gunung Hor, dan mengambil jalan yang menuju ke Teluk Akaba, untuk mengelilingi daerah Edom. Tetapi di tengah jalan, bangsa itu habis kesabarannya,
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 dan mengomel terhadap Allah dan Musa. Mereka berkata, "Mengapa engkau membawa kami keluar dari Mesir? Apakah untuk membunuh kami di padang gurun ini? Di sini tak ada makanan, dan air pun tak ada. Kami muak dengan makanan yang hambar ini!"
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 Maka TUHAN mendatangkan ular-ular berbisa di tengah-tengah bangsa itu. Banyak orang Israel mati dipagut ular-ular itu.
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 Lalu bangsa itu datang menghadap Musa dan berkata, "Kami telah berdosa karena mengomel terhadap TUHAN dan engkau. Berdoalah kepada TUHAN supaya ular-ular ini dijauhkan dari kami." Maka Musa mendoakan bangsa itu.
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 Lalu TUHAN menyuruh Musa membuat seekor ular dari logam dan menaruhnya di atas sebuah tiang. Setiap orang yang dipagut ular, akan sembuh kalau melihat ular dari logam itu.
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 Maka Musa membuat ular dari tembaga dan menaruhnya di atas sebuah tiang. Setiap orang yang dipagut ular, bisa sembuh kalau memandang kepada ular tembaga itu.
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 Orang Israel berangkat lagi, lalu berkemah di kota Obot.
Then the children of Israel went on and put up their tents in Oboth.
11 Sesudah meninggalkan tempat itu, mereka berkemah di reruntuhan Abarim di padang gurun sebelah timur daerah Moab.
And journeying on again from Oboth, they put up their tents in Iye-abarim, in the waste land before Moab looking east.
12 Kemudian mereka berkemah di Lembah Zered.
And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.
13 Dari situ mereka berangkat lagi dan berkemah di seberang Sungai Arnon, di padang gurun yang terbentang ke wilayah orang Amori. Sungai Arnon itu merupakan batas antara daerah orang Moab dengan daerah orang Amori.
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 Itulah sebabnya dalam 'Buku Peperangan TUHAN' tertulis: "....Desa Waheb, di daerah Sufa dan lembah-lembahnya; Sungai Arnon
As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;
15 dan lereng lembah-lembah yang terbentang sampai ke desa Ar dan menuju ke perbatasan daerah orang Moab."
The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.
16 Dari situ mereka pergi ke tempat yang disebut Beer, artinya sumur-sumur. Di situ TUHAN pernah berkata kepada Musa, "Suruhlah umat berkumpul; Aku akan memberi air kepada mereka."
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 Pada waktu itu bangsa Israel menyanyikan lagu ini, "Hai, sumur-sumur, bualkanlah airmu, kami akan menyambutnya dengan lagu.
Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:
18 Sumur yang digali oleh pemuka-pemuka dan oleh para pemimpin bangsa digali dengan tongkat kepemimpinannya dan dengan tongkat tanda kuasa mereka." Dari padang gurun mereka pindah ke Matana,
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 dan dari situ ke Nahaliel, lalu ke Bamot,
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 kemudian ke lembah di daerah orang Moab, di bawah puncak Gunung Pisga yang menghadap ke padang gurun.
And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.
21 Lalu bangsa Israel mengirim utusan-utusan kepada Sihon, raja Amori, untuk menyampaikan pesan ini,
And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,
22 "Izinkan kami melalui negeri Tuanku. Kami dan ternak kami tidak akan menyimpang dari jalanan dan tidak akan masuk ke ladang-ladang atau kebun-kebun anggur atau minum air dari sumur-sumur. Kami tidak akan menyimpang dari jalan raya sampai kami keluar dari daerah Tuanku."
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 Tetapi Raja Sihon tidak mengizinkan orang-orang Israel melalui negerinya. Ia mengumpulkan pasukannya lalu pergi ke Yahas di padang gurun dan menyerang orang Israel di situ.
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 Tetapi dalam pertempuran itu banyak tentara Amori dibunuh oleh orang Israel. Lalu orang Israel menduduki daerah mereka dari Sungai Arnon sampai ke Sungai Yabok, yaitu perbatasan daerah orang Amon, sebab perbatasan itu sangat kuat pertahanannya.
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 Dengan demikian orang Israel merebut semua kota orang Amori, termasuk Hesybon dan semua kota kecil di sekitarnya, lalu menetaplah mereka di situ.
And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.
26 Hesybon adalah ibukota Raja Sihon. Ia pernah berperang melawan raja Moab dan merebut daerahnya sampai sejauh Sungai 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 Itulah sebabnya pujangga bersyair begini, "Datanglah ke Hesybon, ke kota Raja Sihon. Kami ingin melihat kota ini dibangun dan dipugar kembali.
So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:
28 Sekali peristiwa dari kota ini pasukan Sihon maju bagaikan api. Yang menghancurkan kota Ar di Moab, dan menguasai bukit-bukit di sepanjang 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 Wahai bangsa Moab, engkau celaka! Pemuja Kamos, engkau binasa! Engkau dibiarkan allahmu menjadi pengungsi, kaum wanitamu menjadi tawanan raja Amori.
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 Tapi kini binasalah keturunan mereka, di sepanjang jalan dari Hesybon ke Dibon, dari Nasyim ke Nofah dekat Medeba."
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 Dengan demikian bangsa Israel menetap di daerah orang Amori.
So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.
32 Kemudian Musa menyuruh orang-orang pergi mencari jalan yang paling baik untuk menyerang kota Yaezer. Lalu orang Israel merebut kota itu serta kota-kota kecil di sekitarnya dan mengusir orang Amori yang tinggal di sana.
And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.
33 Sesudah itu orang Israel belok dan mengambil jalan yang menuju ke Basan. Raja Og dari Basan maju dengan pasukannya untuk menyerang orang Israel di kota Edrei.
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 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, "Jangan takut kepadanya. Aku akan memberi kemenangan kepadamu. Engkau akan mengalahkan dia, seluruh rakyatnya dan negerinya. Perlakukanlah dia seperti telah kauperlakukan Raja Sihon yang memerintah di Hesybon."
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 Maka orang Israel mengalahkan dan membunuh Raja Og, anak-anaknya dan seluruh rakyatnya; tidak ada yang ketinggalan. Kemudian mereka menduduki negeri itu.
So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.
