Lakkoobsa 21
1 Mootiin Aaraad namichi Kanaʼaan kan Negeeb keessa jiraatu sun akka Israaʼel karaa Ataariim irra dhufaa jiru dhageenyaan Israaʼeloota lolee isaan keessaa nama tokko tokko boojiʼe.
And it came to the ears of the Canaanite, the king of Arad, living in the South, that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, and he came out against them and took some of them prisoners.
2 Israaʼeloonnis, “Yoo ati saba kana dabarsitee harka keenyatti kennite, nu guutumaan guutuutti magaalaa isaanii barbadeessina” jedhanii Waaqayyoof wareegan.
Then Israel made an oath to the Lord, and said, If you will give up this people into my hands, then I will send complete destruction on all their towns.
3 Waaqayyos iyya Israaʼel dhagaʼee warra Kanaʼaan dabarsee harka isaaniitti kenne. Israaʼeloonnis isaanii fi magaalaawwan isaanii illee guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessan; kanaafuu iddoon sun Hormaa jedhamee waamame.
And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them; and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.
4 Isaanis Edoom duubaan darbanii deemuuf jedhanii Gaara Hoorii kaʼanii karaa Galaana Diimaatti geessu irra qajeelan. Sabni sun garuu karumatti obsa fixate;
Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.
5 isaanis Waaqaa fi Museedhaan mormanii akkana jechuudhaan dubbatan; “Isin maaliif akka gammoojjii keessatti dhumnuuf biyya Gibxii nu baaftan? Buddeenni hin jiru! Bishaan hin jiru! Nus nyaata balfamaa kana jibbineerra!”
And crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.
6 Waaqayyos bofawwan hadhaa qaban gidduu isaaniitti erge; bofawwan sunis isaan iddanii Israaʼeloonni baayʼeen dhuman.
Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.
7 Sabni sunis gara Musee dhufee akkana jedhe; “Nu yeroo Waaqayyoo fi sitti afaan dabarre sana cubbuu hojjenne. Akka Waaqayyo bofawwan kanneen nurraa fageessuuf nuuf kadhadhu.” Museen saba sanaaf kadhate.
Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.
8 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Bofa tokko tolchiitii utubaatti fannisi; namni bofni idde kam iyyuu bofa ati tolchite sana ilaalee jiraachuu dandaʼa.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Make an image of a snake and put it on a rod, and anyone who has been wounded by the snakes, looking on it will be made well.
9 Museen bofa naasii tokko tolchee utubaatti fannise. Ergasiis namni bofti idde kam iyyuu yeroo bofa naasii sana ilaalu ni jiraata ture.
So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod; and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.
10 Israaʼeloonni fuula duratti qajeelanii Oobooti keessa qubatan.
Then the children of Israel went on and put up their tents in Oboth.
11 Ergasiis Oobootii kaʼanii Iyyee Abaariim lafa karaa baʼa biiftuutiin fuullee Moʼaabitti gammoojjii keessatti argamu qubatan.
And journeying on again from Oboth, they put up their tents in Iye-abarim, in the waste land before Moab looking east.
12 Achiis kaʼanii Sulula Zered keessa qubatan.
And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.
13 Achii kaʼaniis daarii Arnoon lafa gammoojjii keessaa kan bulchiinsa Amoorotaa keessa seentu sana irra qubatan. Arnoon lafa daarii Moʼaab irraa kan Moʼaabii fi Amoor gidduu jirtuu dha.
From there they went on and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon, which is on the waste land at the edge of the land of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the line of division between Moab and the Amorites:
14 Sababiin Kitaabni Waraana Waaqayyoo akkana jedhuuf kana: “Waaheb Suufaa keessaa fi lageen, Arnoonii fi
As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;
15 irraan-gadee sululaa kan gara Aaritti geessuu fi daarii Moʼaab irratti argamu.”
The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.
16 Achii kaʼanii gara Biʼeer boolla bishaanii kan Waaqayyo Museedhaan, “Saba walitti qabi; ani bishaan kennaafii” jedhe sanaa karaa isaanii itti fufan.
From there they went on to Beer, the water-spring of which the Lord said to Moses, Make the people come together and I will give them water.
17 Israaʼelis faarfannaa kana faarfate: “Yaa boolla bishaanii nana, burqi! Isinis waaʼee isaa faarfadhaa;
Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:
18 Boolla bishaanii ilmaan mootii qotan, kan kabajamoonni sabaa, qajeelcha warra seera kennuutiin ulee isaaniitiin qotan faarfadhaa.” Isaan ergasii gammoojjii sana keessaa baʼanii Mataanaa dhaqan;
The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:
19 Mataanaadhaa kaʼanii Nahaaliʼeel dhaqan; Nahaaliʼeelii kaʼanii Baamooti dhaqan;
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 Baamootii immoo kaʼanii sulula Moʼaab, iddoo itti fiixeen Phisgaa gammoojjiitti garagaltu qubatan.
And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.
21 Israaʼelis Sihoon mooticha Amoorotaatiin akkana jechuuf ergamoota ergate:
And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,
22 “Akka nu biyya kee keessaan darbinu nuuf eeyyami. Nu lafa qotiisaa yookaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii tokkotti iyyuu hin gorru yookaan bishaan boolla bishaanii tokkoo illee hin dhugnu. Nu hamma biyya kee keessaa baanutti karaa mootichaa irra yaana.”
Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.
23 Sihoon garuu akka Israaʼel biyya isaa keessa baʼee darbu hin eeyyamne. Innis loltoota ofii guutuu walitti qabatee Israaʼelin loluuf gammoojjiitti gad baʼe. Yommuu Yaahazi gaʼettis Israaʼeliin wal lole.
And Sihon would not let Israel go through his land; but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.
24 Israaʼel garuu goraadeedhaan isa ajjeesee Arnoonii jalqabee hamma Yaaboq gaʼutti biyya isaa qabate; garuu sababii dallaan daangaa Amoorotaa jabaa tureef inni hamma daangaa Amoonotaa qofatti deemuu dandaʼe.
But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.
25 Israaʼelis magaalaawwan Amoorotaa hunda, Heshboonii fi qubatawwan naannoo ishee jiran hunda qabatee keessa qubate.
And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.
26 Heshboon kun magaalaa Sihoon mootii Amoorotaa isa mooticha Moʼaab kan duraa lolee biyya isaa hunda hamma Arnoonitti irraa fudhate sanaa ture.
For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.
27 Sababiin weellistoonni akkana jedhaniif kana: “Gara Heshboon kottaa; isheen deebitee haa ijaaramtu; Magaalaan Sihoonis haa haaromfamtu.
So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:
28 “Heshboon keessaa ibiddi, magaalaa Sihoon keessaa arrabni ibiddaa baʼe. Ibiddi sun Aari magaalaa Moʼaab, jiraattota gaara Arnooniis gubee barbadeesse.
For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon: for the destruction of Ar in Moab, and the lords of the high places of the Arnon.
29 Yaa Moʼaab, siif wayyoo! Yaa warra Kemoosh, isin barbadooftaniirtu! Inni ilmaan isaa akka baqattootaatti, intallan isaa immoo akka boojiʼamtootaatti, Sihoon mootii Amoorotaatti dabarsee kenneera.
Sorrow is yours, O Moab! Destruction is your fate, O people of Chemosh: his sons have gone in flight, and his daughters are prisoners, in the hands of Sihon, king of the Amorites.
30 “Nu garuu isaan garagalchineerra; Heshboon hamma Diiboonitti barbadoofteerti. Nus hamma Noofaa ishee gara Meedebaatti diriirtu sanaatti isaan barbadeessineerra.”
They are wounded with our arrows; destruction has come on Heshbon, even to Dibon; and we have made the land waste as far as Nophah, stretching out to Medeba.
31 Akkasiin Israaʼel biyya Amoor keessa qubate.
So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.
32 Museen Yaʼizeeritti basaastota erge; isaanis qubatawwan naannoo ishee qabatanii Amoorota achi keessa jiraachaa turan ariʼanii baasan.
And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.
33 Isaanis ergasii deebiʼanii karaa Baashaan qabatanii ol baʼan; Oogi mootichi Baashaaniitii fi loltoonni isaa guutuun Edreyiitti isaaniin wal loluuf itti gad baʼan.
Then turning they went up by the way of Bashan; and Og, king of Bashan, went out against them with all his people, to the fight at Edrei.
34 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Sababii ani guutuu loltoota isaatii fi biyya isaa illee dabarsee harka keetti kenneef isa hin sodaatin. Waanuma Sihoon mootiin Amoorotaa kan Heshboon bulchaa ture sana goote isa illee godhi.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Have no fear of him: for I have given him up into your hands, with all his people and his land; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, at Heshbon.
35 Isaan isa, ilmaan isaatii fi loltoota isaa hunda utuu nama tokko illee hin hambisiniif dhaʼanii biyya isaa illee irraa fudhatan.
So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.
