4 Mojzes 21
1 Ko je kralj Arád, Kánaanec, ki je prebival na jugu, slišal govorico, da je Izrael prišel po poti oglednikov, potem se je bojeval zoper Izrael in nekatere izmed njih prijel kot jetnike.
And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
2 Izrael se je zaobljubil Gospodu in rekel: »Če zares hočeš to ljudstvo izročiti v mojo roko, potem bom popolnoma uničil njihova mesta.«
And Israel vowed a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 Gospod je prisluhnil Izraelovemu glasu in izročil Kánaance, in popolnoma so jih uničili in njihova mesta in ime kraja je imenoval Horma.
And Jehovah hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the place was called Hormah.
4 Odpotovali so z gore Hor po poti Rdečega morja, da obidejo deželo Edóm in duša ljudstva je zaradi poti zelo izgubila pogum.
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 Ljudstvo je govorilo zoper Boga in zoper Mojzesa: »Zakaj sta nas privedla gor iz Egipta, da umremo v divjini? Kajti tukaj ni kruha niti tukaj ni nobene vode in naši duši se gabi ta lahek kruh.«
And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 Gospod pa je med ljudstvo poslal ognjene kače in te so pikale ljudstvo in mnogo Izraelovega ljudstva je umrlo.
And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Zato je ljudstvo prišlo k Mojzesu in reklo: »Grešili smo, kajti govorili smo zoper Gospoda in zoper tebe. Moli h Gospodu, da kače odvzame od nas.« In Mojzes je molil za ljudstvo.
And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Naredi si ognjeno kačo in jo obesi na kol, in zgodilo se bo, da vsak, kdor je pičen, ko pogleda nanjo, bo živel.«
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live.
9 Mojzes je naredil kačo iz brona in jo obesil na kol in pripetilo se je, da če je kateregakoli človeka pičila kača, ko je pogledal kačo iz brona, je živel.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 Izraelovi otroci so se namerili naprej in se utaborili v Obótu.
And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth.
11 In odpotovali so iz Obóta in se utaborili pri Ijé Abarímu, v divjini, ki je pred Moábom, proti sončnemu vzhodu.
And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 Od tam so odrinili in se utaborili v dolini Zared.
From thence they journeyed, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
13 Od tam so odrinili in se utaborili na drugi strani Arnóna, ki je v divjini, ki prihaja iz pokrajin Amoréjcev, kajti Arnón je Moábova meja med Moábom in Amoréjci.
From thence they journeyed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Zato je rečeno v knjigi Gospodovih vojn: »Kaj je storil v Rdečem morju in v potokih Arnóna
Wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Jehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, And the valleys of the Arnon,
15 in pri vodotoku potokov, ki gredo dol k prebivališču Ar in leži na Moábovi meji.«
And the slope of the valleys That inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar, And leaneth upon the border of Moab.
16 In od tam so odšli v Beêr, to je vodnjak, o katerem je Gospod govoril Mojzesu: »Zberi skupaj ljudstvo in jaz jim bom dal vodo.«
And from thence [they journeyed] to Beer: that is the well whereof Jehovah said unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Potem je Izrael zapel to pesem: »Izviraj, o vodnjak. Pojte mu.
Then sang Israel this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 Princi so kopáli vodnjak, kopáli so ga plemiči izmed ljudstva, po navodilih postavodajalca, s svojimi palicami.« In iz divjine so odšli k Matánu,
The well, which the princes digged, Which the nobles of the people delved, With the sceptre, [and] with their staves. And from the wilderness [they journeyed] to Mattanah;
19 in od Matána v Nahaliél, in iz Nahaliéla v Bamót,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20 in iz Bamóta v dolino, ki je v moábski deželi, do vrha Pisge, ki gleda proti Ješimonu.
and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert.
21 Izrael je poslal poslance k Sihónu, kralju Amoréjcev, rekoč:
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 »Pusti mi iti skozi tvojo deželo. Ne bomo se obrnili v polja ali v vinograde; ne bomo pili od vodá iz vodnjaka, temveč bomo šli vzdolž po kraljevi visoki poti, dokler ne bomo prešli tvojih mej.«
Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed thy border.
23 Sihón pa ni hotel trpeti, da gre Izrael skozi njegove meje, temveč je Sihón zbral vse ljudstvo in odšel ven zoper Izrael v divjino in prišel v Jahac in se bojeval zoper Izrael.
And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel.
24 Izrael pa ga je udaril z ostrino meča in vzel v last njegovo deželo od Arnóna do Jabóka, celo do Amónovih otrok, kajti meja Amónovih otrok je bila trdna.
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 Izrael je zavzel vsa ta mesta in Izrael je prebival v vseh mestih Amoréjcev v Hešbónu in v vseh njegovih vaseh.
And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns thereof.
26 Kajti Hešbón je bil mesto amoréjskega kralja Sihóna, ki se je bojeval zoper prejšnjega moábskega kralja in je vso njegovo deželo vzel iz njegove roke, celo do Arnóna.
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon.
27 Zato tisti, ki govorijo v pregovorih, pravijo: »Pridite v Hešbón, naj bo Sihónovo mesto zgrajeno in pripravljeno,
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come ye to Heshbon; Let the city of Sihon be built and established:
28 kajti ogenj je odšel iz Hešbóna, plamen iz mesta Sihón. Ta je použil Ar Moáb in gospodarje visokih krajev Arnóna.
For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon: It hath devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
29 Gorje tebi, Moáb! Uničeno si, oh ljudstvo Kemoša. Svojim sinovom je dal, da pobegnejo in svoje hčere v ujetništvo Sihónu, kralju Amoréjcev.
Woe to thee, Moab! Thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: He hath given his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, Unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 Streljali smo nanje, Hešbón je uničen celo do Dibóna in opustošili smo jih celo do Nofa, ki sega do Médebe.«
We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, And we have laid waste even unto Nophah, Which [reacheth] unto Medeba.
31 Tako je Izrael prebival v deželi Amoréjcev.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 In Mojzes je poslal, da ogledajo Jaazêr in zavzeli so njegove vasi in napodili Amoréjce, ki so bili tam.
And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took the towns thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
33 In obrnili so se ter odšli gor, po poti Bašána in bašánski kralj Og je odšel ven zoper njih, on in vse njegovo ljudstvo, da se bojujejo pri Edréi.
And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
34 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Ne boj se ga, kajti izročil sem ga v tvojo roko in vse njegovo ljudstvo in njegovo deželo in storil mu boš, kakor si storil Sihónu, kralju Amoréjcev, ki je prebival pri Hešbónu.«
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
35 Tako so udarili njega, njegove sinove in vse njegovo ljudstvo, dokler nihče ni ostal živ, in njegovo deželo vzeli v last.
So they smote him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
