Bilangan 21
1 Raja negeri Arad, orang Kanaan yang tinggal di Tanah Negeb, mendengar, bahwa Israel datang dari jalan Atarim, lalu ia berperang melawan Israel, dan diangkutnya beberapa orang tawanan dari pada mereka.
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 Maka bernazarlah orang Israel kepada TUHAN, katanya: "Jika Engkau serahkan bangsa ini sama sekali ke dalam tangan kami, kami akan menumpas kota-kota mereka sampai binasa."
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 TUHAN mendengarkan permintaan orang Israel, lalu menyerahkan orang Kanaan itu; kemudian orang-orang itu dan kota-kotanya ditumpas sampai binasa. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu dinamai Horma.
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 Setelah mereka berangkat dari gunung Hor, berjalan ke arah Laut Teberau untuk mengelilingi tanah Edom, maka bangsa itu tidak dapat lagi menahan hati di tengah jalan.
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 Lalu mereka berkata-kata melawan Allah dan Musa: "Mengapa kamu memimpin kami keluar dari Mesir? Supaya kami mati di padang gurun ini? Sebab di sini tidak ada roti dan tidak ada air, dan akan makanan hambar ini kami telah muak."
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 Lalu TUHAN menyuruh ular-ular tedung ke antara bangsa itu, yang memagut mereka, sehingga banyak dari orang Israel yang mati.
Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.
7 Kemudian datanglah bangsa itu mendapatkan Musa dan berkata: "Kami telah berdosa, sebab kami berkata-kata melawan TUHAN dan engkau; berdoalah kepada TUHAN, supaya dijauhkan-Nya ular-ular ini dari pada kami." Lalu Musa berdoa untuk bangsa itu.
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 Maka berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Musa: "Buatlah ular tedung dan taruhlah itu pada sebuah tiang; maka setiap orang yang terpagut, jika ia melihatnya, akan tetap hidup."
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 Lalu Musa membuat ular tembaga dan menaruhnya pada sebuah tiang; maka jika seseorang dipagut ular, dan ia memandang kepada ular tembaga itu, tetaplah ia hidup.
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 Kemudian berangkatlah orang Israel, lalu berkemah di Obot.
And the children of Israel setting forwards camped in Oboth.
11 Berangkatlah mereka dari Obot, lalu berkemah dekat reruntuhan di Abarim, di padang gurun yang di sebelah timur Moab.
And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east.
12 Dari situ berangkatlah mereka, lalu berkemah di lembah Zered.
And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared:
13 Dari situ berangkatlah mereka, lalu berkemah di seberang sungai Arnon yang di padang gurun dan yang keluar dari daerah orang Amori, sebab sungai Arnon ialah batas Moab, di antara orang Moab dan orang Amori.
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 Itulah sebabnya dikatakan dalam kitab peperangan TUHAN: "Waheb di Sufa dan lembah-lembah ke sungai Arnon,
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 dan lereng lembah-lembah; lereng itu terbentang ke tempat di mana terletak kota Ar, dan bersandar pada batas daerah 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 Dari sana mereka ke Beer. Inilah sumur di mana TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Kumpulkanlah bangsa itu, maka Aku akan memberikan air kepada mereka."
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 Pada waktu itu orang Israel menyanyikan nyanyian ini: "Berbual-buallah, hai sumur! Mari kita bernyanyi-nyanyi berbalas-balasan karena sumur yang digali oleh raja-raja,
Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:
18 yang dikorek oleh kaum bangsawan di antara bangsa itu dengan tongkat-tongkat kerajaan, dengan tongkat-tongkat mereka." Dan dari padang gurun mereka ke 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 dari Matana ke Nahaliel; dari Nahaliel ke Bamot;
From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.
20 dari Bamot ke lembah yang di daerah Moab, dekat puncak gunung Pisga yang menghadap Padang Belantara.
From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.
21 Kemudian orang Israel mengirim utusan kepada Sihon, raja orang Amori, dengan pesan:
And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying:
22 "Izinkanlah kami melalui negerimu; kami tidak akan menyimpang masuk ke ladang-ladang dan kebun-kebun anggurmu, kami tidak akan minum air sumurmu, di jalan besar saja kami akan berjalan, sampai kami melalui batas daerahmu."
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 Tetapi Sihon tidak mengizinkan orang Israel berjalan melalui daerahnya, bahkan ia mengumpulkan seluruh laskarnya, lalu keluar ke padang gurun menghadapi orang Israel, dan sesampainya di Yahas berperanglah ia melawan orang Israel.
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 Tetapi orang Israel mengalahkan dia dengan mata pedang dan menduduki negerinya dari sungai Arnon sampai ke sungai Yabok, sampai kepada bani Amon, sebab batas daerah bani Amon itu kuat.
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 Dan orang Israel merebut segala kota itu, lalu menetaplah mereka di segala kota orang Amori, di Hesybon dan segala anak kotanya.
So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof.
26 Sebab Hesybon ialah kota kediaman Sihon, raja orang Amori; raja ini tadinya berperang melawan raja Moab yang lalu, dan merebut dari tangannya seluruh negerinya sampai ke sungai Arnon.
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 Itulah sebabnya penyair-penyair berkata: "Datanglah ke Hesybon, baiklah dibangun dan baiklah diperkuat kota kediaman Sihon itu!
Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:
28 Sebab api keluar dari Hesybon, nyala dari kota kediaman Sihon, yang memakan habis Ar-Moab, yang berkuasa atas bukit-bukit di sepanjang sungai Arnon.
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 Celakalah engkau, ya Moab; binasa engkau, ya bangsa Kamos! Ia membuat anak-anaknya lelaki menjadi orang-orang pelarian, dan anak-anaknya perempuan menjadi tawanan kepada Sihon, raja orang Amori.
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 Kita telah menembaki mereka, Hesybon binasa sampai ke Dibon, dan kita menanduskannya sampai ke Nofah, yang terbentang sampai ke Medeba."
Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba.
31 Demikianlah orang Israel diam di negeri orang Amori.
So Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorrhite.
32 Setelah Musa menyuruh orang mengintai kota Yaezer, mereka merebut segala anak kota Yaezer dan menghalau orang-orang Amori yang ada di situ.
And Moses sent some to take a view of Jazer: and they took the villages of it, and conquered the inhabitants.
33 Kemudian berpalinglah mereka dan maju ke arah Basan. Lalu Og, raja Basan, beserta segala rakyatnya maju ke Edrei menjumpai mereka untuk berperang.
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 Tetapi TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Janganlah takut kepadanya, sebab Aku menyerahkan dia dengan seluruh rakyatnya dan negerinya ke dalam tanganmu, dan haruslah kaulakukan kepadanya seperti yang kaulakukan kepada Sihon, raja orang Amori, yang diam di Hesybon."
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 Maka mereka mengalahkan dia dan anak-anaknya dan seluruh rakyatnya, sehingga seorangpun dari mereka tidak ada yang dibiarkan terlepas; lalu mereka menduduki negerinya.
So they slew him also with his sons, and all his people, not letting any one escape, and they possessed his land.
