Nomery 21
1 Ie jinanji’ i Arade Mpanjaka nte-Kanàne nimoneñe Atimo añe te niary mb’e Atarime mb’eo t’Israele, le nialy am’ Israele re vaho nendese’e am-bahotse ty ila’e.
And the Canaanite king of Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, and he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
2 Aa le nifanta am’ Iehovà t’Israele nanao ty hoe, Naho toe hasese’o am-pità’ay ondaty rezao le fonga harotsa’ay o rova’eo.
Then Israel vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou give this people wholly into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 Nihaoñe’ Iehovà ty fiarañanaña’ Israele le nasese’e ama’e o nte-Kanàneo; fonga finongo’ iareo o rova’eo; vaho natao Kormà i taney.
And Jehovah listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them, and their cities. And they called the name of the place Hormah.
4 Niavotse boak’ am-Bohi-Hore eo le nionjoñe mb’ an-dalañe migodañe mb’amy Ria-Binday mb’ eo, hiariañe i tane’ Edomey; fe nahangoae ondatio i liay.
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to go round the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient on the way;
5 Le nañinje an’ Andrianañahare naho i Mosè ondatio ami’ ty hoe: Aa vaho akore t’ie nindesa’o niakatse i Mitsraime hivetrake am-patrambey atoy, ie tsy ama’ mahakama ndra rano naho mampangorý anay ty mofo maivañe toy.
and the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt that we should die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and no water, and our soul loathes this light bread.
6 Aa le nañiraha’ Iehovà merem-boreke ty añivo’ ondatio ze nañehetse ondaty vaho maro amo ana’ Israeleo ty nifitake.
Then Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, which bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Aa le nimb’ amy Mosè mb’eo ondatio nanao ty hoe: Nandilatse ami’ ty nañinjea’ay azo naho Iehovà; ihalalio am’Iehovà ty hanintaha’e o mereñeo. Aa le nihalaly ho a ondatio t’i Mosè.
And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, in that we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee: pray to Jehovah that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Itseneo sare merem-boreke le asampezo ami’ty bodan-katae; le ho veloñe ze hene ondaty nihehereñe, mitalahatse ama’e.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Make thee a fiery [serpent], and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, and looketh upon it, shall live.
9 Aa le namboare’ i Mosè an-torisìke i mereñey naho nasampe’e an-katae, aa naho nihehetse ondaty ty mereñe, ie nañente i mereñe torisìkey le niveloñe.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, if a serpent had bitten any man, and he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 Nionjoñe amy zao o ana’ Israeleo le nitobe e Obote.
And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth.
11 Niavota’ iareo ty Obote vaho nitobe e Iai’haabarime, am-patrambey atiñana’ i Moabe mb’ am-panjirihan’ andro mb’eo.
And they removed from Oboth, and encamped at Ijim-Abarim, in the wilderness that is before Moab, toward the sun-rising.
12 Nionjoñe boak’ ao iereo le nitobe am-Bavatane’ i Zerede ao.
From thence they removed, and encamped at the torrent Zered.
13 Hirik’ ao iereo niavotse vaho nitobe alafe’ i Arnone amy fatrambey mifototse an-tane’ o nte-Emoreoy; amy te efe-tane’ i Moabe i Arnoney, mañefetse i Moabe amo nte-Emoreo.
From thence they removed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites. For the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Izay ty nanoeñe amo Boke’ o Ali’ Iehovàoo ty hoe: Oahebe e Sofà, o toraha’ i Arnoneo,
Therefore it is said in the book of the wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, and the brooks of Arnon;
15 naho ty teva’ o torahañeo ze mivariñe mb’an toe’ i Are, naho miefetse amy Moabe.
And the stream of the brooks which turneth to the dwelling of Ar, And inclineth toward the border of Moab.
16 Ie hirik’ ao nimb’e Bire mb’eo, i vovoñe nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosèy ty hoe, Atontono ondatio hanjotsoako rano.
And from thence to Beer: that is the well of which Jehovah spoke to Moses, Assemble the people, and I will give them water.
17 Le hoe ty nisaboe’ Israele: Mivoaña ry vovoñeo, isabo!
Then Israel sang this song, Rise up, well! sing unto it:
18 ty vovo nalente’ o talèo, hinali’ ty roandria’ ondatio, an-kobaiñe, an-tsara’ i Mpandily. Ie boak’am-patrambey ao le nañavelo pak’e Matanà,
Well which princes digged, which the nobles of the people hollowed out at [the word of] the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah;
19 le boake Matanà mbe Mahaliele mb’eo, le hirike Mahaliele mb’e Bamote mb’eo,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20 vaho boake Bamote am-bavatane’ i Moabe mb’ an-dengo’ i Pisgà mitolike mb’amy ratraratray añe.
and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks over the surface of the waste.
21 Le nañitrike mb’amy Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Emoreo t’Israele, nanao ty hoe:
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Adono hiranga ty tane’o zahay. Tsy hivìke mb’ an-teteke ndra mb’ an-tane-bahe; tsy hikama rano am-bovoñe. Hañorike i Karanangam-Panjakay avao ampara’ te losore’ay ty efe-tane’o.
Let us pass through thy land; we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink water out of the wells; on the king's road will we go until we have passed thy border.
23 F’ie tsy napo’ i Sihone hiranga i efe’ey. Aa le natonto’ i Sihone ondati’e iabio vaho niavotse haname Israele am-patram-bey ey, le nivotrake e Iàhatse re naialy am’ Israele.
But Sihon would not suffer Israel to go through his border; and Sihon gathered all his people, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 Zinevo’ Israele an-delam-pibara vaho tinava’e i tane’ey boak’ amy Arnoney pak’ ami’ ty Iaboke naho pak’ amo nte-Amoneo amy te fatratse ty efe-tane’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 Aa le fonga rinambe’ Israele o rova’eo vaho songa nimoneña’ Israele o rova’ o nte-Emoreo, e Khesbone naho o hene ana-drova’eo.
And Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, at Heshbon, and in all its dependent villages.
26 Nirova’ i Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Emoreo ty Khesbone; niazo’e te nialy amy mpanjaka’ i Moabey taoloy vaho fonga rinambe’e i tane’e pak’amy Arnoney.
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon.
27 Aa le hoe ty onin-tsaontsin-droae: Antao mb’e Khesbone mb’eo, hamboatse naho hañafatratse ty rova’ i Sihone
Therefore the poets say, Come to Heshbon; let the city of Sihon be built and established.
28 Fa niakatse i Kesobone ty afo, lel’ afo boak’ an-drova’ i Sihone, nagodra’e i Are’ i Moabey o talen-kaboa’ i Arnoneo.
For there went forth fire from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; It consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of the Arnon.
29 Hekoheko ama’o ry Moabe, Rinotsake nahareo nte-Kemose: napo’e ho gike o ana-dahi’eo, naho o anak’ampela’eo ho mpirohi’ i Sihone, mpanjaka’ i Emorey.
Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, people of Chemosh: He gave his sons that had escaped, and his daughters into captivity to Sihon the king of the Amorites.
30 Linihi’ay ambane iereo: Nihomake t’i Khesbone pak’e Dibone, le natsafe’ay pak’e Nofà, naho pak’e Medebà.
And we have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon; and we have laid [them] waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Aa le nimoneñe an-tane’ Emore ao t’Israele.
And Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 Nampihitrife’ i Mosè ty hitingañe Ia’azere le rinambe’e o tanà’eo vaho nanoe’e soike ze nte-Emore tao.
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took its dependent villages, and he dispossessed the Amorites that were there.
33 Nitsile iereo, nañavelo an-dalañe mb’e Basane mb’eo; le niavotse hifanalaka am’iareo t’i Oge mpanjaka’ i Basane rekets’ ondati’e iabio, hañotakotake e Edrey.
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, for battle to Edrei.
34 Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ko ihembaña’o, fa natoloko am-pità’o rekets’ ondati’e iabio naho i tane’ey. Ano ama’e hambañe amy nanoa’o amy Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Emore nimpifehe’ i Khesboneoy.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Fear him not! for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
35 Aa le zinevo’ iareo naho o ana-dahi’eo naho ondati’eo, ampara t’ie tsy aman-tsengaha’e vaho rinambe’iereo i tane’ey.
And they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, so that they left him none remaining, and took possession of his land.
