Brojevi 21
1 A kad èu Hananej car Aradski, koji življaše na jugu, da ide Izrailj putem kojim idoše uhode, on se pobi s njima i zarobi ih nekoliko.
And when king Arad the Canaanite, who was living toward the south, had heard this, namely, that Israel had arrived by the way of spies, he fought against them. And proving to be the victor, he led away prey from them.
2 Tada se Izrailj zavjetova Gospodu i reèe: ako daš ovaj narod meni u ruke, do temelja æu raskopati gradove njihove.
But Israel, obliging himself by a vow to the Lord, said: “If you deliver this people into my hand, I will wipe away their cities.”
3 I usliši Gospod glas Izrailjev i dade mu Hananeje, a on zatr njih i gradove njihove, i prozva ono mjesto Orma.
And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and he delivered the Canaanite, whom they put to death, overthrowing his cities. And they called the name of that place Hormah, that is, Anathema.
4 Potom poðoše od gore Ora k Crvenom Moru obilazeæi zemlju Edomsku, i oslabi duh narodu od puta.
Then they set out from mount Hor, by the way that leads to the Red Sea, to circle around the land of Edom. And the people began to tire of their journey and hardships.
5 I vikaše narod na Boga i na Mojsija: zašto nas izvedoste iz Misira da izginemo u ovoj pustinji? Jer nema ni hljeba ni vode, a ovaj se nikaki hljeb veæ ogadio duši našoj.
And speaking against God and Moses, they said: “Why did you lead us away from Egypt, so as to die in the wilderness? Bread is lacking; there are no waters. Our soul is now nauseous over this very light food.”
6 A Gospod pusti na narod zmije vatrene, koje ih ujedahu, te pomrije mnogo naroda u Izrailju.
For this reason, the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, which wounded or killed many of them.
7 Tada doðe narod k Mojsiju i rekoše: zgriješismo što vikasmo na Gospoda i na tebe; moli Boga neka ukloni zmije od nas. I Mojsije se pomoli za narod.
And so they went to Moses, and they said: “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray, so that he may take away these serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.
8 I Gospod reèe Mojsiju: naèini zmiju vatrenu, i metni je na motku, i koga ujede zmija, neka pogleda u nju, pa æe ozdraviti.
And the Lord said to him: “Make a bronze serpent, and place it as a sign. Whoever, having been struck, gazes upon it, shall live.”
9 I naèini Mojsije zmiju od mjedi, i metnu je na motku, i koga god ujede zmija on pogleda u zmiju od mjedi, i ozdravi.
Therefore, Moses made a bronze serpent, and he placed it as a sign. When those who had been struck gazed upon it, they were healed.
10 Potom poðoše sinovi Izrailjevi, i stadoše u oko u Ovotu.
And the sons of Israel, setting out, made camp at Oboth.
11 I iz Ovota otišavši stadoše u oko na brdima Avarimskim u pustinji koja je prema Moavskoj s istoka.
Having departed from there, they pitched their tents at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness, which looks out toward Moab, opposite the eastern region.
12 Odande otišavši stadoše u oko u dolini Zaredu.
And moving from there, they arrived at the Torrent of Zared.
13 I odatle otišavši stadoše u oko na brodu na Arnonu, koji je u pustinji i izlazi od meðe Amorejske. Jer je Arnon meða Moavska izmeðu Moavaca i Amorejaca.
Having left that place behind, they then made camp opposite Arnon, which is in the desert, and which juts out at the borders of the Amorite. For certainly Arnon is at the limit of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorites.
14 Zato se kaže u knjizi o ratovima Gospodnjim: na Vajeva u Sufi i na potoke Arnonske.
About this place, it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: “As he did at the Red Sea, so will he do at the Torrents of Arnon.”
15 Jer ti potoci, koji dopiru do mjesta Ara, teku pokraj meðe Moavske.
The stones of the torrents were bent, so that they might rest in Ar and lie back within the borders of the Moabites.
16 A otuda doðoše k Viru; to je studenac za koji bješe rekao Gospod Mojsiju: skupi narod, i daæu im vode.
Beyond that place appeared a well, about which the Lord said to Moses: “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
17 Tada pjeva Izrailj pjesmu ovu: Diži se, studenèe; pripijevajte ga;
Then Israel sang this verse: “Let the well rise up.” They sang:
18 Studenèe, koji kopaše knezovi, koji iskopaše poglavari narodni s onijem koji postavi zakon, palicama svojim. A iz pustinje otidoše u Mantanail,
“The well, the leaders dug it, and the commanders of the multitude prepared it, at the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staffs.”
19 A iz Mantanaila u Nadil, a iz Nadila u Vamot,
They went from the wilderness to Mattanah, from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 A iz Vamota u dolinu koja je u polju Moavskom kod gore Fazge i gleda u pustinju.
from Bamoth, a valley in the region of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks out opposite the desert.
21 Tada posla Izrailj poslanike k Sionu caru Amorejskom govoreæi:
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, saying:
22 Pusti da proðemo kroz tvoju zemlju, neæemo svrtati ni u polje ni u vinograd, niti æemo piti vode iz studenaca; iæi æemo carskim putem dokle ne prijeðemo meðu tvoju.
“I beg you to permit me to cross through your land. We will not turn aside into the fields or the vineyards. We will not drink waters from the wells. We will travel by the royal way, until we have passed your borders.”
23 Ali ne dade Sion Izrailju da proðe kroz zemlju njegovu, nego sabra Sion sav narod svoj, i izaðe na Izrailja u pustinju, i doðe u Jasu, i pobi se s Izrailjem.
And he was not willing to allow Israel to cross through his borders. But instead, gathering an army, he went out to meet them in the desert, and he arrived at Jahaz and fought against them.
24 Ali ga isijeèe Izrailj oštrim maèem, i osvoji zemlju njegovu od Arnona pa do Javoka do sinova Amonovijeh, jer tvrda bješe meða sinova Amonovijeh.
And he was struck down by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from Arnon, even to Jabbok and the sons of Ammon. For the borders of the Ammonites were held by a strong fortress.
25 I uze Izrailj sva ona mjesta i naseli se u svijem gradovima Amorejskim, u Esevonu i u svijem selima njegovijem.
Therefore, Israel took all his cities and lived in the cities of the Amorite, namely, in Heshbon and its villages.
26 Jer Esevon bješe grad Siona cara Amorejskoga, koji bješe prvi zavojštio na cara Moavskoga i bješe mu uzeo svu zemlju njegovu do Arnona.
Heshbon was the city of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who fought against the king of Moab. And he took all the land, which had been under his sovereignty, as far as Arnon.
27 Zato govore u prièi: hodite u Esevon, da se sagradi i podigne grad Sionov.
About this, it is said in the proverb: “Enter into Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be established and built.
28 Jer oganj izaðe iz Esevona, plamen iz grada Sionova, i spali Ar Moavski i stanovnike na visini Arnonskoj.
A fire has gone forth from Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon, and it has devoured Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the heights of Arnon.
29 Teško tebi, Moave; propao si, narode Hamosov; dao je sinove svoje koji utekoše i kæeri svoje u ropstvo Sionu caru Amorejskom.
Woe to you, Moab! You are perishing, O people of Chemosh. He gave flight to his sons, and he gave the daughters into captivity, to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.
30 Ali ih postrijeljasmo, propade Esevon do Devona, i potrsmo ih do Nofe, koja dopire do Medeve.
Their yoke has been scattered from Heshbon even to Dibon. They have passed through, wearily, into Nophah, and as far as Medeba.”
31 I tako živje Izrailj u zemlji Amorejskoj.
And so Israel lived in the land of the Amorite.
32 Potom posla Mojsije da uhode Jazir, i uzeše sela oko njega, i izagnaše Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.
And Moses sent some to explore Jazer. These captured its villages and possessed its inhabitants.
33 Potom obrativši se poðoše u Vasan; i izide Og car Vasanski pred njih, on i sav narod njegov na boj u Edrajin.
And they turned themselves and ascended, along the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, met them with all his people, to fight at Edrei.
34 A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: ne boj ga se; jer sam ga dao u tvoje ruke i sav narod njegov i zemlju njegovu; i uèini mu kako si uèinio Sionu caru Amorejskom koji življaše u Esevonu.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Do not be afraid of him. For I have delivered him, and all his people, as well as his land, into your hand. And you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, the inhabitant of Heshbon.”
35 I pobiše ga i sinove njegove i sav narod njegov, da ne osta nijedan, i osvojiše zemlju njegovu.
Therefore, they struck him down also, with his sons, and all his people, even to utter destruction, and they possessed his land.
