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 when the Canaanite, the king of 'Arad, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel was coming by the way of the spies: he made an attack on Israel, and took from them some prisoners.
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 made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt but deliver this people into my hand, then will I devote 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 the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and he delivered up the Canaanites; and they devoted them and their cities: and they called the name of the place Chormah.
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 set forward from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people became impatient 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 spoke 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 miserable bread.
6 Gospod pa je med ljudstvo poslal ognjene kače in te so pikale ljudstvo in mnogo Izraelovega ljudstva je umrlo.
And the Lord let loose against the people poisonous serpents, and they bit the people; and there died much people of Israel.
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 then came to Moses, and they said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away from us the serpents. 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 the Lord said unto Moses, Make thyself a serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that whoever is bitten shall look at it, and he 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 copper, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, that, when a serpent had bitten any man, and he looked up to the serpent of copper, he remained alive.
10 Izraelovi otroci so se namerili naprej in se utaborili v Obótu.
And the children of Israel set forward, 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-ha'abarim, in the wilderness, which is before Moab, toward the rising of the sun.
12 Od tam so odrinili in se utaborili v dolini Zared.
From there they set forward 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 there they set forward, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness, and which cometh out of the boundary of the Emorites; for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and between the Emorites.
14 Zato je rečeno v knjigi Gospodovih vojn: »Kaj je storil v Rdečem morju in v potokih Arnóna
Therefore mention is made in the book of the wars of the Lord, of Vaheb in Supha, and of the brooks of Arnon,
15 in pri vodotoku potokov, ki gredo dol k prebivališču Ar in leži na Moábovi meji.«
And the descent of the brooks, that turneth toward Shebeth-'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 there to the well; this is the well where the Lord said unto Moses, Assemble the people and I will give them water.
17 Potem je Izrael zapel to pesem: »Izviraj, o vodnjak. Pojte mu.
Then did Israel sing this song, Come 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,
Well, which the princes have dug, which the nobles of the people have hollowed out with the sceptre, with their staves; — and from the wilderness to Mattanah;
19 in od Matána v Nahaliél, in iz Nahaliéla v Bamót,
And from Mattanah to Nachaliel; and from Nachaliel 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, which is in the fields of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward the desert.
21 Izrael je poslal poslance k Sihónu, kralju Amoréjcev, rekoč:
And Israel sent messengers unto Sichon the king of the Emorites, 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 the water of a well: by the king's highway will we go along, 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.
But Sichon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; and Sichon assembled all his people together; and went out against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Yahaz, and 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 took possession of his land from Arnon unto Yabbok, 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 Emorites, in Cheshbon, and in all the villages 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 Cheshbon was the city of Sichon the king of the Emorites; and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, up to the Arnon.
27 Zato tisti, ki govorijo v pregovorih, pravijo: »Pridite v Hešbón, naj bo Sihónovo mesto zgrajeno in pripravljeno,
Therefore said the poets, Come into Cheshbon, let the city of Sichon 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 Cheshbon, a flame from the city of Sichon: it hath consumed 'Ar-Moab, the men 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 lost, O people of Kemosh: he hath suffered his sons to become fugitives, and his daughters to go into captivity, unto the king of the Emorites, Sichon.
30 Streljali smo nanje, Hešbón je uničen celo do Dibóna in opustošili smo jih celo do Nofa, ki sega do Médebe.«
We have thrown them down; lost is Cheshbon even unto Dibon, and we have laid waste [all] up to Nophach, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Tako je Izrael prebival v deželi Amoréjcev.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Emorites.
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 Ya'zer, and they captured the villages thereof, and drove out the Emorites 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 to Bashan; and 'Og, the king of Bashan, went out against them, he, and all his people, to the 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 the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I delivered him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.
35 Tako so udarili njega, njegove sinove in vse njegovo ljudstvo, dokler nihče ni ostal živ, in njegovo deželo vzeli v last.
And they smote him and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left unto him that escaped; and they took possession of his land.
