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 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 Tada se Izrailj zavjetova Gospodu i reèe: ako daš ovaj narod meni u ruke, do temelja æu raskopati gradove njihove.
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 I usliši Gospod glas Izrailjev i dade mu Hananeje, a on zatr njih i gradove njihove, i prozva ono mjesto Orma.
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 Potom poðoše od gore Ora k Crvenom Moru obilazeæi zemlju Edomsku, i oslabi duh narodu od puta.
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 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.
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 A Gospod pusti na narod zmije vatrene, koje ih ujedahu, te pomrije mnogo naroda u Izrailju.
And Yahweh sent among the people the poisonous serpents, and they bit the people, —and much people out of Israel died.
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.
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 I Gospod reèe Mojsiju: naèini zmiju vatrenu, i metni je na motku, i koga ujede zmija, neka pogleda u nju, pa æe ozdraviti.
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 I naèini Mojsije zmiju od mjedi, i metnu je na motku, i koga god ujede zmija on pogleda u zmiju od mjedi, i ozdravi.
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 Potom poðoše sinovi Izrailjevi, i stadoše u oko u Ovotu.
And the sons of Israel brake up, —and encamped in Oboth.
11 I iz Ovota otišavši stadoše u oko na brdima Avarimskim u pustinji koja je prema Moavskoj s istoka.
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 Odande otišavši stadoše u oko u dolini Zaredu.
From thence, brake they up, —and encamped in the ravine of Zered.
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.
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 Zato se kaže u knjizi o ratovima Gospodnjim: na Vajeva u Sufi i na potoke Arnonske.
For this cause is it said, in the Book of the Wars of Yahweh, — …Waheb with a hurricane, And the ravines of Arnon;
15 Jer ti potoci, koji dopiru do mjesta Ara, teku pokraj meðe Moavske.
And the bottom of the ravines, that extendeth toward the dwelling of Ar, —And adjoineth to the boundary of Moab,
16 A otuda doðoše k Viru; to je studenac za koji bješe rekao Gospod Mojsiju: skupi narod, i daæu im vode.
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 Tada pjeva Izrailj pjesmu ovu: Diži se, studenèe; pripijevajte ga;
Then, sang Israel this song, —Spring thou up, O well! Respond ye thereunto;
18 Studenèe, koji kopaše knezovi, koji iskopaše poglavari narodni s onijem koji postavi zakon, palicama svojim. A iz pustinje otidoše u Mantanail,
A well!—princes digged it, Nobles of the people, delved it, With a sceptre, With their staves. And, from the desert, to Mattanah;
19 A iz Mantanaila u Nadil, a iz Nadila u Vamot,
and from Mattanah, to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel, to Bamoth;
20 A iz Vamota u dolinu koja je u polju Moavskom kod gore Fazge i gleda u pustinju.
and, from Bamoth of the valley, which is in the field-country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, —which overlooketh Jeshimon.
21 Tada posla Izrailj poslanike k Sionu caru Amorejskom govoreæi:
Then sent Israel messengers, unto Sihon 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.
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 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 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 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 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 I uze Izrailj sva ona mjesta i naseli se u svijem gradovima Amorejskim, u Esevonu i u svijem selima njegovijem.
So Israel took all these cities, —and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all her 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.
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 Zato govore u prièi: hodite u Esevon, da se sagradi i podigne grad Sionov.
For this cause, say the poets—Enter ye Heshbon, —Built and prepared be the city of Sihon;
28 Jer oganj izaðe iz Esevona, plamen iz grada Sionova, i spali Ar Moavski i stanovnike na visini Arnonskoj.
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 Teško tebi, Moave; propao si, narode Hamosov; dao je sinove svoje koji utekoše i kæeri svoje u ropstvo Sionu caru Amorejskom.
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 Ali ih postrijeljasmo, propade Esevon do Devona, i potrsmo ih do Nofe, koja dopire do Medeve.
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 I tako živje Izrailj u zemlji Amorejskoj.
So then Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 Potom posla Mojsije da uhode Jazir, i uzeše sela oko njega, i izagnaše Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.
And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they captured the villages thereof, —and dispossessed the Amorites that were there.
33 Potom obrativši se poðoše u Vasan; i izide Og car Vasanski pred njih, on i sav narod njegov na boj u Edrajin.
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 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.
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 I pobiše ga i sinove njegove i sav narod njegov, da ne osta nijedan, i osvojiše zemlju njegovu.
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.
