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 when the Canaanite, the king of 'Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel was coming by the way of the spies: he made an attack on Israel, and took from them some prisoners.
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 made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt but deliver this people into my hand, then will I devote their cities.
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 hearkened to the voice of Israel, and he delivered up the Canaanites; and they devoted them and their cities: and they called the name of the place Chormah.
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 they set forward from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people became impatient because of 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, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this miserable 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 let loose against the people poisonous serpents, and they bit the people; and there died much people of Israel.
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 then came to Moses, and they said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away from us the serpents. And Moses prayed for the people.
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 the Lord said unto Moses, Make thyself a serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that whoever is bitten shall look at it, and he 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 copper, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, that, when a serpent had bitten any man, and he looked up to the serpent of copper, he remained alive.
10 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nifindra ka nitoby tao Obota.
And the children of Israel set forward, 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 they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at 'Iye-ha'abarim, in the wilderness, which is before Moab, toward the rising of the sun.
12 Ary nony niala tao izy, dia nitoby tao amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Zareda.
From there they set forward and encamped in the valley of Zered.
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.
From there they set forward, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, and which cometh out of the boundary of the Emorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and between the Emorites.
14 Koa izany no ilazana eo amin’ ny Bokin’ ny Adin’ i Jehovah hoe: Vaheba any Sofa sy ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona,
Therefore mention is made in the book of the wars of the Lord, of Vaheb in Supha, and of 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 the descent of the brooks, that turneth toward Shebeth-'Ar, and leaneth upon the border 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 from there to the well; this is the well where the Lord said unto Moses, Assemble the people and I will give them water.
17 Dia nihira izao fihirana izao ny Isiraely: Miboiboiha, ry lavaka fantsakana! Ataovinareo an-kira izy;
Then did Israel sing this song, Come up, O well; sing ye unto it:
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.
Well, which the princes have dug, which the nobles of the people have hollowed out with the sceptre, with their staves; — and from the wilderness to Mattanah;
19 Ary nony niala tao Matana izy, dia nankao Nahaliela; ary nony niala tao Nahaliela izy, dia nankao Bamota;
And from Mattanah to Nachaliel; and from Nachaliel to Bamoth;
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 from Bamoth to the valley, which is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward the desert.
21 Ary ny Isiraely naniraka olona ho any amin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, hanao hoe:
And Israel sent messengers unto Sichon the king of the Emorites, saying,
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.
Let me pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink the water of a well: by the king's highway will we go along, until we have passed thy border.
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.
But Sichon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; and Sichon assembled all his people together; and went out against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Yahaz, and fought 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 smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from Arnon unto Yabbok, even unto the children of 'Ammon; for the border of the children of 'Ammon was strong.
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 these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Emorites, in Cheshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
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 Cheshbon was the city of Sichon the king of the Emorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, up to the Arnon.
27 Izany no nanaovan’ ny mpanao oha-teny hoe: Midìra ao Hesbona ianareo; aoka hamboarina sy hatao mafy ny tanànan’ i Sihona;
Therefore said the poets, Come into Cheshbon, let the city of Sichon be built and established.
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 is gone out of Cheshbon, a flame from the city of Sichon: it hath consumed 'Ar-Moab, the men of the high places of the 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 thee, Moab! thou art lost, O people of Kemosh: he hath suffered his sons to become fugitives, and his daughters to go into captivity, unto the king of the Emorites, Sichon.
30 Notifirintsika izy; ringana Hesbona hatrany Dibona; nofoanantsika izy hatrany Nofa, izay mipaka an’ i Medeba.
We have thrown them down; lost is Cheshbon even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste [all] up to Nophach, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Dia nitoetra tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Amorita ny Isiraely.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Emorites.
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 Ya'zer, and they captured the villages thereof, and drove out the Emorites that were 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 they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and 'Og, the king of Bashan, went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
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 unto Moses, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I delivered him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.
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 they smote him and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left unto him that escaped; and they took possession of his land.
