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.
When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was traveling by the road to Atharim, he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.
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."
Israel vowed to Yahweh and said, “If you give us victory over these people, then we will completely 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.
Yahweh listened to Israel's voice and he gave them victory over the Canaanites. They completely destroyed them and their cities. That place was called Hormah.
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.
They traveled from Mount Hor by the road to the Sea of Reeds to go around the land of Edom. The people became very discouraged on the way.
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."
The people spoke against God and Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, no water, and we hate this miserable food.”
6 Lalu TUHAN menyuruh ular-ular tedung ke antara bangsa itu, yang memagut mereka, sehingga banyak dari orang Israel yang mati.
Then Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among the people. The snakes bit the people; many people died.
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.
The people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned because we have spoken against Yahweh and you. Pray to Yahweh for him to take the snakes away from us.” So 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."
Yahweh said to Moses, “Make a snake and attach it to a pole. It will happen that everyone who is bitten will survive, if he looks at it.”
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.
So Moses made a bronze snake and attached it to a pole. When a snake bit any person, if he looked at the bronze snake, he survived.
10 Kemudian berangkatlah orang Israel, lalu berkemah di Obot.
Then the people of Israel traveled on and camped at Oboth.
11 Berangkatlah mereka dari Obot, lalu berkemah dekat reruntuhan di Abarim, di padang gurun yang di sebelah timur Moab.
They traveled from Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness that faces Moab toward the east.
12 Dari situ berangkatlah mereka, lalu berkemah di lembah Zered.
From there they traveled on and camped in the Valley of Zered.
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.
From there they traveled on and camped on the other side of the Arnon River, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites. The Arnon River forms the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Itulah sebabnya dikatakan dalam kitab peperangan TUHAN: "Waheb di Sufa dan lembah-lembah ke sungai Arnon,
That is why it says in the scroll of the Wars of Yahweh, “... Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,
15 dan lereng lembah-lembah; lereng itu terbentang ke tempat di mana terletak kota Ar, dan bersandar pada batas daerah Moab."
the slope of the valleys that lead toward the town of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
16 Dari sana mereka ke Beer. Inilah sumur di mana TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Kumpulkanlah bangsa itu, maka Aku akan memberikan air kepada mereka."
From there they traveled to Beer, the well where Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together for me to 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 sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing about it,
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;
about the well that our leaders dug, the well the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter and their staffs.” Then from the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah.
19 dari Matana ke Nahaliel; dari Nahaliel ke Bamot;
From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 dari Bamot ke lembah yang di daerah Moab, dekat puncak gunung Pisga yang menghadap Padang Belantara.
and from Bamoth to a valley in the land of Moab. That is where the top of Mount Pisgah looks down on the wilderness.
21 Kemudian orang Israel mengirim utusan kepada Sihon, raja orang Amori, dengan pesan:
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites 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."
“Let us pass through your land. We will not turn into any field or vineyard. We will not drink the water from your wells. We will travel by the king's highway until we have crossed your border.”
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.
But King Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through their border. Instead, Sihon gathered all his army together and attacked Israel in the wilderness. He came to Jahaz, where he fought against Israel.
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.
Israel attacked the army of Sihon with the edge of the sword and took their land from the Arnon to the Jabbok river, as far as the land of the people of Ammon. Now the border of the people of Ammon was fortified.
25 Dan orang Israel merebut segala kota itu, lalu menetaplah mereka di segala kota orang Amori, di Hesybon dan segala anak kotanya.
Israel took all the Amorite cities and lived in all of them, including Heshbon and all of its villages.
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.
Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab. Sihon had taken all his land from his territory to the Arnon River.
27 Itulah sebabnya penyair-penyair berkata: "Datanglah ke Hesybon, baiklah dibangun dan baiklah diperkuat kota kediaman Sihon itu!
That is why those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be rebuilt and established again.
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 blazed from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon that devoured Ar of Moab, and the owners of the high places of 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 you, Moab! You have perished, people of Chemosh. He has made his sons to be fugitives and his daughters to be prisoners of Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 Kita telah menembaki mereka, Hesybon binasa sampai ke Dibon, dan kita menanduskannya sampai ke Nofah, yang terbentang sampai ke Medeba."
But we have conquered Sihon. Heshbon is devastated all the way to Dibon. We have defeated them all the way to Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
31 Demikianlah orang Israel diam di negeri orang Amori.
So Israel began to live in the Amorites' land.
32 Setelah Musa menyuruh orang mengintai kota Yaezer, mereka merebut segala anak kota Yaezer dan menghalau orang-orang Amori yang ada di situ.
Then Moses sent men to look at Jazer. They took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 Kemudian berpalinglah mereka dan maju ke arah Basan. Lalu Og, raja Basan, beserta segala rakyatnya maju ke Edrei menjumpai mereka untuk berperang.
Then they turned and went up by the road of Bashan. Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his army, to fight them at Edrei.
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."
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Do not fear him, because I have given you victory over him, all his army, and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”
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 killed him, his sons, and all his army, until none of his people were left alive. Then they took over his land.
