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 the Canaanite, the king of Arad who dwelt in the South, heard that Israel had entered by the way of Atharim, —so he made war with Israel, and took some of them captive.
2 Israaʼeloonnis, “Yoo ati saba kana dabarsitee harka keenyatti kennite, nu guutumaan guutuutti magaalaa isaanii barbadeessina” jedhanii Waaqayyoof wareegan.
Then Israel vowed vow unto Yahweh, and said, —If thou wilt, surely deliver up, this people into my hand, then will I 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 Yahweh hearkened unto the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanite into his hand, so he utterly destroyed them, and their cities, and called the name of the place Hormah [that is, "Utter Destruction"].
4 Isaanis Edoom duubaan darbanii deemuuf jedhanii Gaara Hoorii kaʼanii karaa Galaana Diimaatti geessu irra qajeelan. Sabni sun garuu karumatti obsa fixate;
Then brake they up from Mount Hor, by way of the Red Sea, to go round the land of Edom, —and the soul of the people became impatient because of 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!”
So then the people spake against God and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt, to die in the desert? for there is neither bread nor water, and our soul, doth loathe this contemptible bread!
6 Waaqayyos bofawwan hadhaa qaban gidduu isaaniitti erge; bofawwan sunis isaan iddanii Israaʼeloonni baayʼeen dhuman.
And Yahweh sent among the people the poisonous serpents, and they bit the people, —and much people out of Israel died.
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 came the people of Israel unto Moses and said—We have sinned in that we spake against Yahweh and against thee, Pray thou unto Yahweh, that he may take from us the serpent. So 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.”
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Make thee a like serpent, and put it upon standard, —and it shall come to pass, that, any one who is bitten, as soon as he seeth 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.
So Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon the standard, —and it came to pass—that if the serpent had bitten any man, as soon as he directed his look unto the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 Israaʼeloonni fuula duratti qajeelanii Oobooti keessa qubatan.
And the sons of Israel brake up, —and encamped in Oboth.
11 Ergasiis Oobootii kaʼanii Iyyee Abaariim lafa karaa baʼa biiftuutiin fuullee Moʼaabitti gammoojjii keessatti argamu qubatan.
And they brake up from Oboth, —and encamped in Ije-Abarim, in the desert which is over against Moab, towards the rising of the sun.
12 Achiis kaʼanii Sulula Zered keessa qubatan.
From thence, brake they up, —and encamped in the ravine 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 thence, brake they up, and encamped on the other side of Arnon which is in the desert, that cometh forth out of the boundary of the Amorites, —for, Arnon, is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Sababiin Kitaabni Waraana Waaqayyoo akkana jedhuuf kana: “Waaheb Suufaa keessaa fi lageen, Arnoonii fi
For this cause is it said, in the Book of the Wars of Yahweh, — …Waheb with a hurricane, And the ravines of Arnon;
15 irraan-gadee sululaa kan gara Aaritti geessuu fi daarii Moʼaab irratti argamu.”
And the bottom of the ravines, that extendeth toward the dwelling of Ar, —And adjoineth to the boundary of Moab,
16 Achii kaʼanii gara Biʼeer boolla bishaanii kan Waaqayyo Museedhaan, “Saba walitti qabi; ani bishaan kennaafii” jedhe sanaa karaa isaanii itti fufan.
And from thence, towards Beer, —the same, is the well whereof Yahweh said unto Moses, Gather together the people, that I may give them water.
17 Israaʼelis faarfannaa kana faarfate: “Yaa boolla bishaanii nana, burqi! Isinis waaʼee isaa faarfadhaa;
Then, sang Israel this song, —Spring thou up, O well! Respond ye thereunto;
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;
A well!—princes digged it, Nobles of the people, delved it, With a sceptre, With their staves. And, from the desert, 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 of the valley, which is in the field-country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, —which overlooketh Jeshimon.
21 Israaʼelis Sihoon mooticha Amoorotaatiin akkana jechuuf ergamoota ergate:
Then sent Israel messengers, unto 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 pass through thy land we will not turn aside into field or into vineyard, nor will we drink the water of a well, —by the king’s road, will we go, until we get through thy boundary.
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 suffered not Israel to pass through his boundary, but Sihon gathered together all his people, and came forth to meet Israel, towards the desert, and entered Jahaz, and fought with 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.
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, —and took possession of his land, from Arnon unto Jabbok, unto the sons of Ammon, for strong, was the boundary of the sons of Ammon.
25 Israaʼelis magaalaawwan Amoorotaa hunda, Heshboonii fi qubatawwan naannoo ishee jiran hunda qabatee keessa qubate.
So Israel took all these cities, —and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all her villages;
26 Heshboon kun magaalaa Sihoon mootii Amoorotaa isa mooticha Moʼaab kan duraa lolee biyya isaa hunda hamma Arnoonitti irraa fudhate sanaa ture.
for, as for Heshbon, the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, it was, he, having fought with the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, unto Arnon.
27 Sababiin weellistoonni akkana jedhaniif kana: “Gara Heshboon kottaa; isheen deebitee haa ijaaramtu; Magaalaan Sihoonis haa haaromfamtu.
For this cause, say the poets—Enter ye Heshbon, —Built and prepared be the city of Sihon;
28 “Heshboon keessaa ibiddi, magaalaa Sihoon keessaa arrabni ibiddaa baʼe. Ibiddi sun Aari magaalaa Moʼaab, jiraattota gaara Arnooniis gubee barbadeesse.
For, a fire, hath come forth out of Heshbon, A flame, out of the stronghold of Sihon; It hath consumed Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of 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 lost, O people of Chemosh, —He hath given up his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, Unto the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
30 “Nu garuu isaan garagalchineerra; Heshboon hamma Diiboonitti barbadoofteerti. Nus hamma Noofaa ishee gara Meedebaatti diriirtu sanaatti isaan barbadeessineerra.”
Then we shot them—Heshbon is destroyed, as far as Dibon, —Then laid we waste as far as Nophah, A fire reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Akkasiin Israaʼel biyya Amoor keessa qubate.
So then Israel dwelt 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 to spy out Jazer, and they captured the villages thereof, —and dispossessed the Amorites that were 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 turned they, and went up by the way of Bashan, —and Og, king of Bashan, came forth to meet them—he and all his people, to give battle 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.”
Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Do not fear him, for into thy hand, have I delivered him and all his people, and his land, —Therefore shalt thou do unto him, as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who was dwelling in Heshbon.
35 Isaan isa, ilmaan isaatii fi loltoota isaa hunda utuu nama tokko illee hin hambisiniif dhaʼanii biyya isaa illee irraa fudhatan.
So then they smote him and his sons and all his people, until there was not left him a remnant, —and took possession of his land.
