4 Mose 21
1 Hagi Kenani kumate kinia Arati kumate Negevi nemania kini ne'mo antahiama Israeli vahe'mo'za Atarimi karanka neaze hazankema nentahino'a, ha' ome huzamanteno mago'a Israeli vahera kina huzamanteno zamavareno vu'ne.
The king of Arad [city] lived in the area where the Canaan people-group lived, in the desert in the southern part of the land. He heard a report that the Israelis were approaching on the road to Atharim [village]. So his army attacked the Israelis and captured some of them.
2 Anante Israeli vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofonte huvempa ke hu'za, Kagrama ana vahe'ma tagri tazampi zamavarentesanketa rankumazmia eri haviza hugahune.
Then the Israelis solemnly vowed: “Yahweh, if you will help us to defeat these people, we will completely destroy all their towns.”
3 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe'mokizmi ke antahizamino Kenani vahera avrezamigeno, kumazmine, ana kumapi vahera zamahe fanane hu'naze. Ana hu'negu ana kuma'mofo agi'a Homae nehaze.
Yahweh heard what they requested, and he enabled them to defeat the army of the Canaan people-group. The Israeli soldiers killed all the people and destroyed their towns. [Ever since that time], that place has been called Hormah [which means ‘destruction’].
4 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Hori agona atre'za koranke hagerintega nevaza kantega, Idomu mopa rugagi'za vu'naze. Hianagi rama'a vahe'mo'za zaza ka nevu'za, zamavaresragu hu'naze.
Then the Israelis left Hor Mountain and traveled on the road towards the Red Sea, in order to go around [the land of] Edom. But the people became impatient along the way,
5 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za Anumzamofone Mosesenena ke ha'reneznante'za anage hu'naze, Nahigeta Isipitira tavreta ama hagege kokampina frisunegura e'na'e? Bretima ne'zana omanegeno, tima ne'zana omanegeta ama kefozama hu'nea mana nezankura tavresra hie!
and they began to grumble/complain against God and against Moses/me. They said, “Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die here in this desert [RHQ]? There is nothing to eat here, and nothing to drink. And we detest this lousy [manna] food!”
6 Anage hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a ha' osifave huntegeno rama'a vahe zamaprige'za fri'naze.
So Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among them. Many of the people were bitten by the snakes and died.
7 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Mosesente e'za anage hu'naze, kagri'ene Ra Anumzamofonema huhavizama hunte'nonana, hago kumi hu'none. Hagi nunamu hugeno Ra Anumzamo'a osifavea tagripintira avretreno. Anage hazageno Mosese'a ana vahera nunamuna huzamante'ne.
Then the people came to Moses/me and cried out, saying, “We [now know that we] have sinned against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh, asking that he will take away the snakes!” So Moses/I prayed for the people.
8 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena anage huno asami'ne. Mago ha' osifave bronsireti trohunka zaza zafare hantintenege'za osifavemo'ma zamaprisia vahe'mo'za ana osifavema kesga hu'za kesamo'za ofri'za manigahaze.
Then Yahweh told him/me, “Make a model/image of a poisonous snake, and attach it to the top of a pole. If those who are bitten by the snakes look at that model, they will (recover/get well).”
9 Anage huno asamigeno Mosese'a bronsireti mago osifave tro huno za'za zafare ahekamarente'ne.
So Moses/I made a snake from bronze and attached it to the top of a pole. Then, when those who had been bitten by a snake looked at the bronze snake, they recovered!
10 Israeli vahe'mo'za vu'za Oboti kumate seli nonkumara omeki'za mani'naze.
Then the Israelis traveled to Oboth and (camped/set up their tents) there.
11 Hagi Oboti kumatetira atre'za vu'za Moapu mopamofo kama zage hanati kaziga hagege kokampi Ia-abarim seli nonkumara ome ki'za mani'naze.
Then they left there, and went to Iye-Abarim, in the desert on the eastern border of Moab.
12 Anantetira vu'za Wadi Zere agupofi seli nonkumara omeki'za mani'naze.
From there they traveled to the valley where the Zered riverbed is, and camped there.
13 Hagi anantetira rugitagiza vu'za kantu kaziga Arnoni timofo Amori vahe'mokizmi hagage mopamofo agentega seli nonkumara ome ki'za mani'naze. Na'ankure Moapu vahe'mokizmi mopane, Amori vahe'mokizmi mopa Arnoni timo refko hu'nere seli nonkumara omeki'za mani'naze.
Then they traveled to the north side of the Arnon [River]. That area is in the desert next to the land where the Amor people-group lived. The Arnon [River] is the boundary between Moab and where the Amor people-group lived.
14 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamofo hapinema hu'nea avontafemo'a huno, Wahepu Safa kaziga me'nea kumaku'ene tinkrahoku Arnoni tinku hu'ne.
That is why in the book called ‘The Book of the Wars of Yahweh’ it tells about “Waheb [town] in the Suphah area, and the ravines there; and the Arnon [River]
15 Hagi ana karahomo'a Ari kumateti vuno, Moapu vahe kumate ome atre'ne.
and the ravines there, which extend as far as Ar [village] on the border of Moab.”
16 Anantetira mago'ane vu'za Beri tava'onte me'nea tin kerire vazageno Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena asamino, vahetamina kehutru huge'na tina zami'neno.
From there, the Israelis traveled to Beer. There was a well there, where Yahweh previously had said to Moses/me, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17 E'i anante Israeli vahe'mo'za anage hu'za zagamera hu'naze, henami ti kerimoka hanatinka marerio, tinkerimoka! Zgame hugantone!
There the Israelis sang this song: “O well, give us water! Sing about this well!
18 E'ina tinkeria ranra kva vahe'mo'za kafinte'naze. Hagi rankva vahe'mo'za avame'za me'nea azompareti'ene kama vanoma nehaza azompareti anankeria hanagati'za kafinte'naze. Ana hagege kokampintira Israeli vahe'mo'za atre'za Matana kumate vu'naze.
Sing about this well which our leaders dug; they dug out [the dirt] with their royal scepters and their walking sticks.” Then the Israelis left that desert and went through Mattanah,
19 Hagi Matanatira Nahaliel vute'za, Nahalielitira Bamota vu'naze.
Nahaliel, and Bamoth [villages].
20 Hagi Bamotitira Moapu kaziga me'nea agupofi Piska agonamo'ma hagege kokantega avugosama hunte'nerega e'naze.
Then they went to the valley in Moab where Pisgah [Mountain] rises above the desert.
21 Israeli vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za Amori kini ne' Sihonintega kea atrente'naze,
Then the Israelis sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. This was the message [that they/we gave him]:
22 Tatregeta mopakafina rugitagita vamaneno. Hagi tagra hoza tamifino, waini hozatamifina ovuta, agentega nevuta, tinkeri tamifintira tina oneta kinimofo rankantega nevuta, mopaka'a agatereta vugahune.
“Allow us to travel through your country. We will stay on the king’s highway, [the main road that goes from the south to the north], until we have finished traveling through your land. We will not walk through any field or vineyard, or drink water from your wells.”
23 Hianagi Sihoni'a Israeli vahe'mo'zama mopa'afima rugitagiza evu'zankura i'o huno hunezmanteno, sondi'a vahe'a kehu atru hige'za, ana hagege kokampi vu'za Israeli vahe'mokizmia Jehasi kumate hara eme huzamante'naze.
But King Sihon refused. He would not allow them to walk through his land. Instead, he sent his whole army to attack the Israelis in the desert. They attacked the Israelis at Jahaz [village].
24 Hianagi Israeli naga'mo'za kazinteti hara huzamagatere'za, ana vahe mopama Amoni tinte'ma vuno Jaboku tinteti'ma uhanati'nea mopa'zmia eri'naze. Hagi Amoni vahe'mokizmi mopafina uofre'naze. Na'ankure Amoni vahe'mo'za hanavenentake vihu hu'za mani'naze.
But the Israelis completely defeated them and occupied their land, from the Arnon [River in the south] to the Jabbok [River in the north]. They stopped at the border of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, because [the Ammon army was defending] the border strongly.
25 Hu'negu Israeli vahe'mo'za ana mopafima me'nea ranra kuma'ene, neone kumara eri'za ana kumatamimpi mani'naze.
So the Israelis occupied all the cities and towns where the Amor people-group lived, and some of the Israelis began to live in them. They occupied Heshbon [city] and the nearby villages.
26 Na'ankure Hesboni rankumara Amori kini ne' Sihoni nemania rankumare. Hagi ana mopa korapara Moapu kini ne'mo kegava hu'nea mopa aheno hanare'neankino, ana mopamo'a meno Arnoni uhanati'ne.
Heshbon was the capital of the country. It was the city where King Sihon ruled. His army had previously defeated the army of the king of Moab, and then his people had begun to live in all of the land of Moab as far as the Arnon [River in the south].
27 E'ina agafare zagamema hazafina hu'za, enketa Hesboni kumara negita, Sihoni kumara erigafa hamaneno hu'za nehaze.
For that reason, one of the poets wrote long ago, “Come to Heshbon, the city where King Sihon [ruled]. We want the city to be restored/rebuilt.
28 Na'ankure Hesboni rankumateti tevea reno nevie. Teve anefara Sihoni kumateti huno nevuno, Moapu mopafima Ar kumama me'neana tefanane nehuno, teno vuno Arnoni tintegama marerinerega ome atre'ne.
A fire blazed from Heshbon; it burned down Ar [city] in Moab, it destroyed [everything on] the hills along the Arnon [River].
29 Moapu vahe'moka nasunku hugantoe! Kemosi havi anumzamofo vahe'mota haviza haze! Ne'mofavretami zamazeri haviza hige'za fre'za vano nehu'za hazanke erinentazageno, mofanezmia Amori kini ne' Sihoni'ma zamavareno kina huzmanteankna nehaze.
You people of Moab, terrible things have happened to you! You people who [worship your god] Chemosh have been (annihilated/wiped out)! The men who [worshiped] [MET] Chemosh have run away and are now refugees, and the women [who worshiped him] have been captured by [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group.
30 Hianagi Hesboni kumatetima agafa huno vuno Dibonima uhanati'nea kumatamimpi vahera tagra nezamaheta, kumazmia zamazeri haviza hu'none. Hagi Nofa kuma'enena azeri havizantfa huta vuta Medeba kumate uhanati'none.
But we have defeated [Sihon and] those descendants of Amor, all the way from Heshbon [in the north] to Dibon [city in the south]. We have completely obliterated/destroyed them as far as Nophah and Medeba [towns].”
31 E'ina hute'za Israeli vahe'mo'za Amori vahe mopafina mani'naze.
So the Israeli people began to live in the land where the Amor people-group lived.
32 Hagi Jazeri kumama afure'za kesazegu Mosese'a huzmantege'za vute'za ageno, Jazeri kuma tava'onte'ma Amori vahe'ma mani kagi'naza vahera Israeli vahe'mo'za ha'huzamante'za zamahe natitre'naze.
After Moses/I sent some men to explore the area near Jazer [city], Israeli people began to live in all the towns in that region and expelled the Amor people-group who lived there.
33 Hagi anantetira rukrahe hu'za Basani kaziga karanka mareri'za vu'naze. Hagi nevazageno Basani kini ne' Ogi'a ha'huzamante'naku sondia vahe'a kehutru hige'za Ederi kumate e'naze.
Then they turned [north] toward the Bashan region, but King Og of Bashan and all his army attacked them at Edrei [town].
34 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno Mosesena asmi'ne, Ko agri'ene vahe'ane mopa'anena kagri kazampi avrentoanki korera huonto. Kagra Amori vahe'mokizmi kinima Sihoni'ma Hesboni kumate'ma nemania nete'ma hu'nanaza hugahane.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Do not be afraid of Og, because I am going to enable your men to defeat him and his army, and to take possession of all his land. You will do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon.”
35 Hu'negu Israeli vahe'mo'za Ogine ne' mofavre'ane naga'ane vahe'anena ha'huzamante'za zamahe vagarazageno, mago vahere huno ana mopafina omanige'za ana mopa eri'naze.
And that is what happened. We Israelis defeated Og’s army, and killed King Og and his sons and all his people. Not a person survived! And then we Israelis began to live in their land.
