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, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
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.
And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said: 'If Thou wilt indeed deliver this people 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 the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities; and the name of the place was called 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 to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient because of 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: '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 light bread.'
6 Aa le nañiraha’ Iehovà merem-boreke ty añivo’ ondatio ze nañehetse ondaty vaho maro amo ana’ Israeleo ty nifitake.
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they 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, because we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, 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 the LORD said unto Moses: 'Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth 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 set it upon the pole; and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 Nionjoñe amy zao o ana’ Israeleo le nitobe e Obote.
And the children of Israel journeyed, and pitched 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 journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is in front of Moab, toward the sun-rising.
12 Nionjoñe boak’ ao iereo le nitobe am-Bavatane’ i Zerede ao.
From thence they journeyed, and pitched in the valley of 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 journeyed, and pitched on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites. — For 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,
wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the LORD: Vaheb in Suphah, and the valleys of Arnon,
15 naho ty teva’ o torahañeo ze mivariñe mb’an toe’ i Are, naho miefetse amy Moabe.
And the slope of the valleys that inclineth toward the seat of Ar, and leaneth upon 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 whereof the LORD said unto Moses: 'Gather the people together, and I will give them water.'
17 Le hoe ty nisaboe’ Israele: Mivoaña ry vovoñeo, isabo!
Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well — sing ye 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,
The well, which the princes digged, which the nobles of the people delved, with the sceptre, and with their staves. And from the wilderness 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 field of Moab, by the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert.
21 Le nañitrike mb’amy Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Emoreo t’Israele, nanao ty hoe:
And Israel sent messengers unto 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 me pass through thy land; we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells; we will go by the king's highway, 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.
And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he 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 possessed his land from the Arnon unto 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, in Heshbon, and in all the towns thereof.
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, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and 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
Wherefore they that speak in parables say: Come ye 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 a fire is gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it hath devoured Ar of Moab, the lords of the high places of 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, O people of Chemosh; he hath given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, unto Sihon 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.
We have shot at them — Heshbon is perished — even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Aa le nimoneñe an-tane’ Emore ao t’Israele.
Thus 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 Jazer, and they took the towns thereof, and drove out 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 of Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at 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 the LORD said unto Moses: 'Fear him not; for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon 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.
So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him remaining; and they possessed his land.
