Ceturtā Mozus 21
1 Un tas Kanaānietis, Arada ķēniņš, kas dzīvoja pret dienvidiem, dzirdēja Israēli nākam pa izlūku ceļu, un kāvās pret Israēli un aizveda kādus no viņiem sagūstītus.
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 Tad Israēls Tam Kungam apsolīja solījumu sacīdams: ja Tu šos ļaudis dosi manā rokā, tad es viņu pilsētas izdeldēšu.
Then the Israelis solemnly vowed: “Yahweh, if you will help us to defeat these people, we will completely destroy all their towns.”
3 Un Tas Kungs klausīja Israēla bērnu balsij un nodeva tos Kanaāniešus, un tie šos izdeldēja ar viņu pilsētām un nosauca tās vietas vārdu Horma (izdeldēšana).
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 Tad tie aizgāja no Hora kalna pa niedru jūras ceļu, ka ietu apkārt Edomiešu zemei.
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 Un tiem ļaudīm apnika ceļā, un tie ļaudis runāja pret Dievu un pret Mozu: kāpēc jūs mūs esat izveduši no Ēģiptes zemes, ka tuksnesī mirstam? - Jo šeit nav ne maizes, ne ūdens, un mūsu dvēselei šī blēņu maize riebj.
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 Tad Tas Kungs sūtīja dedzīgas čūskas ļaužu starpā; tās tos koda un tur nomira daudz ļaužu no Israēla.
So Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among them. Many of the people were bitten by the snakes and died.
7 Tad tie ļaudis nāca pie Mozus un sacīja: mēs esam grēkojuši, runādami pret To Kungu un pret tevi; lūdz To Kungu, lai Viņš atņem tās čūskas no mums. Tad Mozus lūdza par tiem ļaudīm.
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 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Mozu: taisi sev vienu čūsku un uzcel to par zīmi, un notiks, ikviens, kas ir kosts un to uzlūkos, tas dzīvos.
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 Un Mozus taisīja vara čūsku un to uzcēla par zīmi, un notikās, ja čūska kādu bija kodusi, tad tas uzlūkoja to vara čūsku un palika dzīvs.
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 Tad Israēla bērni aizgāja un apmetās Obotā.
Then the Israelis traveled to Oboth and (camped/set up their tents) there.
11 Pēc tie aizgāja no Obota un apmetās pie Abaru kalniem tuksnesī, kas ir pret Moabu, pret rītiem.
Then they left there, and went to Iye-Abarim, in the desert on the eastern border of Moab.
12 No turienes tie aizgāja un apmetās pie Zaredas upes.
From there they traveled to the valley where the Zered riverbed is, and camped there.
13 No turienes tie aizgāja un apmetās šaipus Arnonas, kas ir tuksnesī un iztek no Amoriešu robežām; jo Arnona ir Moaba robeža, starp Moabu un Amoriešiem.
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 Tāpēc top sacīts Tā Kunga karu grāmatā: (tas Kungs karoja) pret Vahēbu viesulī un pret Arnonas upēm,
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 Un to strautu ieleju, kas griežas uz Ar pilsētu un iet gar Moaba robežām.
and the ravines there, which extend as far as Ar [village] on the border of Moab.”
16 Un no turienes tie aizgāja uz Beēru. Šī ir tā aka, par ko Tas Kungs Mozum sacīja: sapulcini tos ļaudis, tad Es tiem došu ūdeni.
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 Tad Israēls dziedāja šo dziesmu: Verdi, aka, uzdziediet viņai!
There the Israelis sang this song: “O well, give us water! Sing about this well!
18 Tu aka, ko virsnieki rakuši, ko ļaužu cienīgie izrakuši ar scepteri, ar saviem zižļiem. Pēc tie aizgāja no tuksneša uz Matanu.
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 Un no Matanas uz Naāliēli, un no Naāliēles uz Bamotu,
Nahaliel, and Bamoth [villages].
20 Un no Bamotas uz to ieleju, kas ir Moaba laukā, pie tā augstā Pizgas kalna, kas stiepjas pret tuksnesi.
Then they went to the valley in Moab where Pisgah [Mountain] rises above the desert.
21 Tad Israēls sūtīja vēstnešus pie Sihona, Amoriešu ķēniņa, un sacīja.
Then the Israelis sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. This was the message [that they/we gave him]:
22 Ļauj man iet caur tavu zemi; mēs negriezīsimies druvās nedz vīna dārzos, mēs nedzersim ūdeni no akām; pa lielceļu iesim, tiekams būsim cauri izgājuši caur tavām robežām.
“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 Bet Sihons Israēlim neļāva iet caur savām robežām, un Sihons sapulcēja visus savus ļaudis un izgāja Israēlim pretī uz tuksnesi, un nāca uz Jācu un karoja pret Israēli.
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 Bet Israēls viņu apkāva ar zobena asmeni un uzņēma viņa zemi no Arnonas līdz Jabokai, līdz Amona bērniem; (jo Amona bērnu robežas bija stipras).
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 Tā Israēls uzņēma visas šīs pilsētas, un Israēls dzīvoja visās Amoriešu pilsētās, Hešbonā un visos viņu ciemos.
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 Jo Hešbona bija Sihona, Amoriešu ķēniņa, pilsēta, un šis bija karojis pret Moabiešu iepriekšējo ķēniņu un bija paņēmis visu viņa zemi no viņa rokām līdz Arnonai.
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 Tāpēc dziesminieki saka: nāciet Hešbonā, uztaisīt un apstiprināt Sihona pilsētu.
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 Jo uguns ir izgājis no Hešbonas un liesma no Sihona pilsētas; tā ir aprijusi Aru Moabā un Arnonas kalnu kungus.
A fire blazed from Heshbon; it burned down Ar [city] in Moab, it destroyed [everything on] the hills along the Arnon [River].
29 Vai tev, Moab! Kamosa ļaudis, jūs ejat bojā! Viņa dēli spiesti bēgt un viņa meitas cietumā vestas no Sihona, Amoriešu ķēniņa.
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 Un viņa spožums ir iznīcis no Hešbonas līdz Dibonai, mēs to esam izdeldējuši līdz Nofai, kas stiepjas līdz Medbai.
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 Tā Israēls dzīvoja Amoriešu zemē.
So the Israeli people began to live in the land where the Amor people-group lived.
32 Un Mozus sūtīja izlūkot Jaēzeru, un tie uzvarēja viņas valstis un izdzina tos Amoriešus, kas tur bija.
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 Un tie griezās un gāja uz augšu pa Basanas ceļu, un Ogs, Basanas ķēniņš, viņiem izgāja pretī, viņš un visi viņa ļaudis, kauties pie Edrejas.
Then they turned [north] toward the Bashan region, but King Og of Bashan and all his army attacked them at Edrei [town].
34 Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Mozu: nebīsties no viņa, jo viņu un visus viņa ļaudis un visu viņa zemi Es esmu devis tavā rokā, un tev būs tam darīt, itin kā tu esi darījis Sihonam, Amoriešu ķēniņam, kas dzīvoja Hešbonā.
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 Un tie viņu apkāva un viņa dēlus un visus viņa ļaudis, tā ka neviens neatlikās, un uzņēma viņa zemi.
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.
