1 Ke tokosra lun acn Arad, su oan layen eir in acn Canaan, el lohngak lah mwet Israel elos tuku sun acn Atharim, el som mweunelos ac sruokya kutu selos.
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 Na mwet Israel elos orala sie wulela na ku nu sin LEUM GOD: “Kom fin lela kut in kutangla mwet inge, kut ac kisakunuloswot nu sum oayapa siti selos, ac kut ac fah kunauselosla.”
Israel vowed to Yahweh and said, “If you give us victory over these people, then we will completely destroy their cities.”
3 LEUM GOD El lohngolos ac kasrelos kutangla mwet Canaan. Ouinge mwet Israel arulana sukelosla ac siti selos, ac sang inen acn sac Hormah.
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 Mwet Israel som liki Fineol Hor, ac ut ke inkanek ma som nu ke Meoa Srusra, tuh elos in ut na sisken facl sin mwet Edom. Tusruktu ke elos srak fahsr, mwet uh semutengla
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 ac kaskas lain God ac Moses. Elos torkaskas ac fahk, “Efu kom ku uskutme liki acn Egypt kut in tuh misa in acn mwesis se inge, yen wanginna mongo ac kof we? Kut tasak ke mwe mongo koluk inge!”
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 Na LEUM GOD El supwala serpent pwasin nu inmasrlon mwet uh, ac mwet Israel puspis ngalnguli ac misa.
Then Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among the people. The snakes bit the people; many people died.
7 Ac mwet uh tuku nu yorol Moses ac fahk, “Kut orekma koluk ke kut kaskas lain LEUM GOD ac lain kom. Pre nu sin LEUM GOD Elan usla serpent inge.” Ke ma inge Moses el pre ke mwet uh.
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 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses elan orala soko serpent osra, ac likiya mutun soko sak ah, tuh kutena mwet su ngalnguli fin ngetak nu kac, elos fah moul ac tia misa.
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 Ouinge Moses el orala soko serpent ke bronze ac likiya fin soko sak. Na kutena mwet su ngalnguli, elos ac ngetak nu ke serpent bronze soko ah, ac moul.
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 Mwet Israel elos sifil mukuiyak ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos in acn Oboth.
Then the people of Israel traveled on and camped at Oboth.
11 Toko elos som liki acn sac, ac tulokunak nien aktuktuk selos ke mahnum lun Abarim in acn mwesis kutulap in facl Moab.
They traveled from Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness that faces Moab toward the east.
12 Na elos sifilpa mukuiyak liki acn we ac aktuktuk ke infahlfal Zered.
From there they traveled on and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13 Elos sifilpa mukuiyak liki acn we ac tuku nu layen epang in Infacl Arnon ac aktuktuk we, ke yen mwesis se su fahla nwe ke facl sin mwet Amor. (Infacl Arnon pa masrol lun facl sin mwet Moab ac mwet Amor.)
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 Pa sis [Book In Mweun Lun] LEUM GOD sramsramkin “...siti srisrik Waheb ke ipin acn lun Suphah, ac infahlfal uh, ac Infacl Arnon,
That is why it says in the scroll of the Wars of Yahweh, “... Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,
15 ac acn oatu ke infahlfal se ma fahla nwe ke siti srisrik Ar, ac suwosang nwe ke masrol lun acn Moab.”
the slope of the valleys that lead toward the town of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
16 Liki acn we elos som na nwe ke sie acn pangpang Lufin Kof, acn se ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Usani mwet uh nu sie, ac nga ac fah sang kof nu selos.”
From there they traveled to Beer, the well where Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together for me to give them water.”
17 In pacl sac mwet Israel uh yuk on soko inge: “Lufin kof uh, unonak; Kut ac fah onkakin kom ke soko on.
Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing about it,
18 Lufin kof pukpukyak sin leum uh, Ac sin mwet kol lun mwet uh; Pukpukyak ke soko scepter lun tokosra, Oayapa ke sikal lun mwet kol lalos.” Elos mukuiyak liki yen mwesis nu Mattanah,
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 ac liki acn we elos som na nwe Nahaliel, ac liki acn Nahaliel me nu Bamoth,
From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 ac liki acn Bamoth nu infahlfal in acn lun mwet Moab, ye mangon eol Pisgah, su oan ngeta nu fin acn mwesis.
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 Na mwet Israel supwala mwet utuk kas nu sel Sihon, tokosra lun mwet Amor, ac fahk:
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites saying,
22 “Nunak munas, lela nu sesr in fahsr sasla in acn sum. Kut, ac cow natusr, fah tia kuhfla liki inkanek lulap in utyak nu in ima lom ku ima in grape sunom, ac kut ac fah tia nim kof ke lufin kof lowos uh. Kut ac fahsrna fin inkanek lulap ah, nwe ke kut alukela facl sum uh.”
“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 Tusruktu Tokosra Sihon el tiana fuhlela mwet Israel in fahla fin acn sel. El orani un mwet mweun lal ac illa som nu Jahaz in acn mwesis, ac mweuni mwet 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 Tusruktu mwet Israel elos onela mwet puspis sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke mweun sac, ac sruokya acn selos, mutawauk ke Infacl Arnon nwe ke Infacl Jabbok layen epang, aok nwe ke sun masrol lun mwet Ammon uh, mweyen masrol se ingan musaiyukla arulana ku!
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 Na mwet Israel uh kutangla siti nukewa sin mwet Amor, weang Heshbon ac inkul nukewa ma oan apkuran nu we, na elos oakwuki we.
Israel took all the Amorite cities and lived in all of them, including Heshbon and all of its villages.
26 Heshbon pa capital siti lal Tokosra Sihon lun mwet Amor, su tuh mweun lain tokosra lun mwet Moab meet, ac eisla acn lal nukewa fahla na nwe Infacl 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 Pa oru mwet ma yuk pas uh onkakin mu, “Fahsru nu Heshbon, siti sel Tokosra Sihon! Kut kena liye in sifilpa musaiyukyak ac akwoyeyukla.
That is why those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be rebuilt and established again.
28 Sie pacl ah, in siti se inge Heshbon, Un mwet mweun lal Sihon illa oana sie e. Elos kunausla siti Ar in acn Moab Ac sukela inging sisken infacl 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 We nu suwos, mwet Moab! Kowos su alu nu sin Chemosh, kowos arulana musalla! God lowos uh oru tuh mukul we uh in mwet kakaing, Ac mutan we elos mwet sruoh lal Tokosra Sihon lun mwet Amor.
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 Tusruktu fwilin tulik natulos kunausyukla, Mutawauk Heshbon lac na nwe Dibon, Liki acn Nashim nwe Nophah, apkuran nu 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 Ouinge mwet Israel oakwuki in acn lun mwet Amor,
So Israel began to live in the Amorites' land.
32 ac Moses el supwala kutu mwet kalngeyuk nu ke siti Jazer in konauk lah elos ac mweuni fuka acn we. Mwet Israel elos sruokya siti sac wi inkul nukewa ma oan apkuran nu we, ac lusak mwet Amor su muta we.
Then Moses sent men to look at Jazer. They took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 Toko mwet Israel forla ac ut ke inkanek nu Bashan, ac tokosra Og lun Bashan el illa us un mwet mweun lal in mweunelos in acn Edrei.
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 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Nik kom sangeng sel. Nga ac oru tuh kom in kutanulla, ac mwet lal nukewa ac acn sel. Oru nu sel oana ma kom tuh oru nu sel Sihon, tokosra lun mwet Amor, su leumi acn Heshbon.”
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 Ouinge mwet Israel elos unilya Tokosra Og, ac wen natul ac mwet lal nukewa — wangin mwet painmoulla — na elos oakwuki in acn sel.
So they killed him, his sons, and all his army, until none of his people were left alive. Then they took over his land.
