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 when king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, had heard this, to wit, that Israel was come by the way of the spies, he fought against them, and overcoming them carried off their spoils.
2 Israaʼeloonnis, “Yoo ati saba kana dabarsitee harka keenyatti kennite, nu guutumaan guutuutti magaalaa isaanii barbadeessina” jedhanii Waaqayyoof wareegan.
But Israel binding himself by vow to the Lord, said: It thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, I will utterly destroy their cities.
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 heard the prayers of Israel, and delivered up the Chanaanite, and they cut them off and destroyed their cities: and they called the name of that place Horma, that is to say, Anathema.
4 Isaanis Edoom duubaan darbanii deemuuf jedhanii Gaara Hoorii kaʼanii karaa Galaana Diimaatti geessu irra qajeelan. Sabni sun garuu karumatti obsa fixate;
And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and labour:
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 speaking against God and Moses, they said: Why didst thou bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food.
6 Waaqayyos bofawwan hadhaa qaban gidduu isaaniitti erge; bofawwan sunis isaan iddanii Israaʼeloonni baayʼeen dhuman.
Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.
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.
Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and thee: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed 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 him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.
9 Museen bofa naasii tokko tolchee utubaatti fannise. Ergasiis namni bofti idde kam iyyuu yeroo bofa naasii sana ilaalu ni jiraata ture.
Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.
10 Israaʼeloonni fuula duratti qajeelanii Oobooti keessa qubatan.
And the children of Israel setting forwards camped in Oboth.
11 Ergasiis Oobootii kaʼanii Iyyee Abaariim lafa karaa baʼa biiftuutiin fuullee Moʼaabitti gammoojjii keessatti argamu qubatan.
And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east.
12 Achiis kaʼanii Sulula Zered keessa qubatan.
And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared:
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.
Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites.
14 Sababiin Kitaabni Waraana Waaqayyoo akkana jedhuuf kana: “Waaheb Suufaa keessaa fi lageen, Arnoonii fi
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Amen.
15 irraan-gadee sululaa kan gara Aaritti geessuu fi daarii Moʼaab irratti argamu.”
The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.
16 Achii kaʼanii gara Biʼeer boolla bishaanii kan Waaqayyo Museedhaan, “Saba walitti qabi; ani bishaan kennaafii” jedhe sanaa karaa isaanii itti fufan.
When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Israaʼelis faarfannaa kana faarfate: “Yaa boolla bishaanii nana, burqi! Isinis waaʼee isaa faarfadhaa;
Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:
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 well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana.
19 Mataanaadhaa kaʼanii Nahaaliʼeel dhaqan; Nahaaliʼeelii kaʼanii Baamooti dhaqan;
From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.
20 Baamootii immoo kaʼanii sulula Moʼaab, iddoo itti fiixeen Phisgaa gammoojjiitti garagaltu qubatan.
From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.
21 Israaʼelis Sihoon mooticha Amoorotaatiin akkana jechuuf ergamoota ergate:
And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, 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.”
I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king’s highway, till we be past thy borders.
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 he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa, and fought against them.
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.
And he was slain by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jeboc, and to the confines of the children of Ammon: for the borders of the Ammonites, were kept with a strong garrison.
25 Israaʼelis magaalaawwan Amoorotaa hunda, Heshboonii fi qubatawwan naannoo ishee jiran hunda qabatee keessa qubate.
So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof.
26 Heshboon kun magaalaa Sihoon mootii Amoorotaa isa mooticha Moʼaab kan duraa lolee biyya isaa hunda hamma Arnoonitti irraa fudhate sanaa ture.
Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominions, as far as the Arnon.
27 Sababiin weellistoonni akkana jedhaniif kana: “Gara Heshboon kottaa; isheen deebitee haa ijaaramtu; Magaalaan Sihoonis haa haaromfamtu.
Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:
28 “Heshboon keessaa ibiddi, magaalaa Sihoon keessaa arrabni ibiddaa baʼe. Ibiddi sun Aari magaalaa Moʼaab, jiraattota gaara Arnooniis gubee barbadeesse.
A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants 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.
Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites.
30 “Nu garuu isaan garagalchineerra; Heshboon hamma Diiboonitti barbadoofteerti. Nus hamma Noofaa ishee gara Meedebaatti diriirtu sanaatti isaan barbadeessineerra.”
Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba.
31 Akkasiin Israaʼel biyya Amoor keessa qubate.
So Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorrhite.
32 Museen Yaʼizeeritti basaastota erge; isaanis qubatawwan naannoo ishee qabatanii Amoorota achi keessa jiraachaa turan ariʼanii baasan.
And Moses sent some to take a view of Jazer: and they took the villages of it, and conquered the inhabitants.
33 Isaanis ergasii deebiʼanii karaa Baashaan qabatanii ol baʼan; Oogi mootichi Baashaaniitii fi loltoonni isaa guutuun Edreyiitti isaaniin wal loluuf itti gad baʼan.
And they turned themselves, and went up by the way of Basan, and Og the king of Basan came against them with all his people, to fight in Edrai.
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: Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people, and his country into thy hand: and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, the inhabitant of Hesebon.
35 Isaan isa, ilmaan isaatii fi loltoota isaa hunda utuu nama tokko illee hin hambisiniif dhaʼanii biyya isaa illee irraa fudhatan.
So they slew him also with his sons, and all his people, not letting any one escape, and they possessed his land.
