Nomery 21
1 Ary raha ren’ ilay Kananita, mpanjakan’ i Arada, izay nonina teo amin’ ny tany atsimo, fa efa mandeha amin’ ny lalana mankany Atarima ny Isiraely, dia niady taminy izy, ka nentiny ho babo ny sasany tamin’ ny Isiraely.
And Arad the Chananitish king who lived by the wilderness, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharin; and he made war on Israel, and carried off some of them captives.
2 Dia nivoady tamin’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Raha hatolotrao eo an-tananay tokoa ity firenena ity, dia hataonay levona avokoa ny tanànany.
And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If you will deliver this people into my power, I will devote it and its cities [to you].
3 Ary Jehovah nihaino ny feon’ ny Isiraely ka dia natolony azy ny Kananita: ary dia nataon’ ny Isiraely levona izy sy ny tanànany; koa ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia natao hoe Horma.
And the Lord listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered the Chananite into his power; and [Israel] devoted him and his cities, and they called the name of that place Anathema.
4 Ary niala tany an-tendrombohitra Hora izy ka nahazo ny lalana mankany amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena hanodidina ny tany Edoma; dia kivy ny fanahin’ ny olona noho ny lalana.
And having departed from mount Or by the way [leading] to the Red Sea, they compassed the land of Edom, and the people lost courage by the way.
5 Ary niteny nanome tsiny an’ Andriamanitra sy Mosesy ny olona ka nanao hoe: Nahoana no nentinao niakatra avy tany Egypta amin’ ny lalan’ ny mpisafo-tany izahay ho faty atỳ an-efitra? fa tsy misy mofo na rano atỳ ary mahamonamonaina ny fanahinay itony mofomofo foana itony.
And the people spoke against God and against Moses, saying, Why is this? Hast you brought us ought of Egypt to kill us in the wilderness? for there is not bread nor water; and our soul loathes this light bread.
6 Ary Jehovah dia nampandeha ny menaran’ afo teny amin’ ny olona, ka nanaikitra ny olona ireny; dia nahafatesana be ny olona Isiraely.
And the Lord sent amongst the people deadly serpents, and they bit the people, and much people of the children of Israel died.
7 Dia nankeo amin’ i Mosesy ny olona ka nanao hoe: Efa nanota izahay, fa efa niteny nanome tsiny an’ i Jehovah sy ianao. Ifony amin’ i Jehovah izahay mba hanesorany ny menarana aminay. Dia nifona ho an’ ny olona Mosesy.
And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against you: pray therefore to the Lord, and let him take away the serpent from us.
8 Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Manaova menaran’ afo, ka ahantòny amin’ ny hazo lava, ary izay rehetra voakaikitra dia ho velona, raha mijery izany.
And Moses prayed to the Lord for the people; and the Lord said to Moses, Make you a serpent, and put it on a signal-[staff]; and it shall come to pass that whenever a serpent shall bite a man, every one [so] bitten that looks upon it shall live.
9 Dia nanao menarana varahina Mosesy ka nanantona azy tamin’ ny hazo lava; ary izay olona voakaikitry ny menarana ka nijery ilay menarana varahina dia velona.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a signal-[staff]: and it came to pass that whenever a serpent bit a man, and he looked on the brazen serpent, he lived.
10 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nifindra ka nitoby tao Obota.
And the children of Israel departed, and encamped in Oboth.
11 Ary nony niala tao Obota, izy, dia nitoby tao Ie-abarima, tany amin’ ny efitra izay mifanolotra amin’ i Moaba, tandrifin’ ny fiposahan’ ny masoandro.
And having departed from Oboth, they encamped in Achalgai, on the farther side in the wilderness, which is opposite Moab, towards the east.
12 Ary nony niala tao izy, dia nitoby tao amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda.
And thence they departed, and encamped in the valley of Zared.
13 Ary nony niala tao izy, dia nitoby tao an-dafin’ i Arnona, izay any an-efitra sady avy amin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Amorita; fa Arnona no fari-tanin’ ny Moabita, eo anelanelan’ ny Moabita sy ny Amorita.
And they departed thence and encamped on the other side of Arnon in the wilderness, [the country] which extends from the coasts of the Amorites; for Arnon is the borders of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Koa izany no ilazana eo amin’ ny Bokin’ ny Adin’ i Jehovah hoe: Vaheba any Sofa sy ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona,
Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, and the brooks of Arnon.
15 Ary ny tany kisolosolo amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka, izay mandroso mankeo amin’ ny tanin’ i Ara ka mipaka amin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Moaba.
And he has appointed brooks to cause Er to dwell [there]; and it lies near to the coasts of Moab.
16 Ary niala tao izy hankany Bera, dia ilay lavaka fantsakana nilazan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy hoe: Angony ny olona, fa homeko rano izy.
And thence [they came to] the well; this [is] the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink.
17 Dia nihira izao fihirana izao ny Isiraely: Miboiboiha, ry lavaka fantsakana! Ataovinareo an-kira izy;
Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin [to sing] of the well;
18 Lavaka fantsakana izay nohadin’ ireo mpanao lalàna, ary nolavahan’ ireo manan-kaja amin’ ny firenena. Tamin’ ny tehiny, dia ny tehina fanapahana. Ary nony niala tany an-efitra izy, dia nankao Matana.
the princes digged it, the kings of the nations in their kingdom, in their lordship sank it in the rock: and [they went] from the well to Manthanain,
19 Ary nony niala tao Matana izy, dia nankao Nahaliela; ary nony niala tao Nahaliela izy, dia nankao Bamota;
and from Manthanain to Naaliel, and from Naaliel to Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab [as seen] from the top of the quarried [rock] that looks towards the wilderness.
20 ary nony niala tao Bamota izy, dia nankany an-dohasaha izay ao amin’ ny tany Moaba, ao an-tampon’ i Pisga, izay manatrika ny efitra.
And Moses sent ambassadors to Seon king of the Amorites, with peaceful words, saying,
21 Ary ny Isiraely naniraka olona ho any amin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, hanao hoe:
We will pass through your land, we will go by the road; we will not turn aside to the field or to the vineyard.
22 Aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao izahay, fa tsy hania ho amin’ ny saha na ho amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka izahay, ary tsy hisotro ny rano amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana; ny lalan’ andriana ihany no halehanay mandra-pahafakay ny fari-taninao.
We will not drink water out of your well; we will go by the king's highway, until we have past your boundaries.
23 Nefa Sihona tsy namela ny Isiraely handeha hamaky ny taniny, fa nanangona ny vahoakany rehetra izy ka nivoaka avy tany an-efitra hihaona amin’ ny Isiraely, dia nankany Jahaza; ary niady tamin’ ny Isiraely teo izy.
And Seon did not allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Seon gathered all his people, and went out to set the battle in array against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jassa, and set the battle in array against Israel.
24 Ary ny Isiraely namely azy tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra ka nahazo ny taniny hatrany Amona ka hatrany Jaboka, dia hatramin’ ny taranak’ i Amona; fa mafy ny fari-tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
And Israel struck him with the slaughter of the sword, and they became possessors of his land, from Arnon to Jaboc, as far as the children of Amman, for Jazer is the borders of the children of Amman.
25 Dia nalain’ ny Isiraely izany tanàna rehetra izany; ary nonenany ny tanànan’ ny Amorita rehetra, dia Hesbona sy ny zana-bohiny rehetra.
And Israel took all their cities, and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Esebon, and in all cities belonging to it.
26 Hesbona no tanànan’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay efa nanafika ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba taloha, ka efa nalainy taminy avokoa ny taniny rehetra hatrany Arnona.
For Esebon is the city of Seon king of the Amorites; and he before fought against the king of Moab, and they took all his land, from Aroer to Arnon.
27 Izany no nanaovan’ ny mpanao oha-teny hoe: Midìra ao Hesbona ianareo; aoka hamboarina sy hatao mafy ny tanànan’ i Sihona;
Therefore say they who deal in dark speeches, Come to Esebon, that the city of Seon may be built and prepared.
28 Fa nisy afo nivoaka avy tao Hesbona, sy lelafo avy tao an-tanànan’ i Sihona, Ka nandevona an’ i Aran’ i Moaba sy ny tompon’ ny havoan’ i Arnona.
For a fire has gone forth from Esebon, a flame from the city of Seon, and has consumed as far as Moab, and devoured the pillars of Arnon.
29 Lozanao, ry Moaba! Ringana ianao, ry olon’ i Kemosy! Foiny handositra ny zananilahy, ary navelany ho babo ny zananivavy, ho an’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita.
Woe to you, Moab; you are lost, you people of Chamos: their sons are sold for preservation, and their daughters are captives to Seon king of the Amorites.
30 Notifirintsika izy; ringana Hesbona hatrany Dibona; nofoanantsika izy hatrany Nofa, izay mipaka an’ i Medeba.
And their seed shall perish [from] Esebon to Daebon; and their women have yet farther kindled a fire against Moab.
31 Dia nitoetra tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Amorita ny Isiraely.
And Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites.
32 Ary Mosesy naniraka olona hisafo an’ i Jazera; ary ny Isiraely dia nahafaka ny zana-bohiny ka nandroaka ny Amorita izay tany.
And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took it, and its villages, and cast out the Amorite that lived there.
33 Ary niverina ny olona ka niakatra tamin’ ny lalana mankany Basana; dia nivoaka Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana, hihaona aminy, dia izy sy ny vahoakany rehetra, hiady tao Edrehy.
And having returned, they went up the road thhebraismat leads to Basan; and Og the king of Basan went forth to meet them, and all his people to war to Edrain.
34 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Aza matahotra azy ianao, fa efa natolotro eo an-tananao izy sy ny vahoakany rehetra ary ny taniny; ary ianao hanao aminy araka izay nataonao tamin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay nitoetra tao Hesbona.
And the Lord said to Moses, Fear him not; for I have delivered him and all his people, and all his land, into your hands; and you shall do to him as you did to Seon king of the Amorites, who lived in Esebon.
35 Dia namely azy sy ny zananilahy ary ny vahoakany rehetra izy, ka tsy nasiany niangana na dia iray akory aza; dia nahazo ny taniny izy.
And he struck him and his sons, and all his people, until he left none of his to be taken alive; and they inherited his land.
