Hesabu 21
1 Aradi mfalme wa Wakanaani, aliyekuwa akiishi Negebu, aliposikia kuwa Israeli alikuwa akisafiri kwa kupitia barabara kuelekea Atharimu, akapigana dhidi ya Israeli na kujitwalia baadhi ya mateka.
When King Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt toward the South, heard tel that Israel came by the way of the spies, then fought hee against Israel, and tooke of them prysoners.
2 Israeli akaapa mbele ya BWANA akasema, “Kama utatupa ushindi dhidi ya hawa watu, ndipo tutakapoingamiza kabisa miji yao,”
So Israel vowed a vowe vnto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliuer and giue this people into mine hand, then I wil vtterly destroy their cities.
3 BWANA akaisikia sautiya Israeli na kuwapa ushindi dhidi ya Wakanaani. Wakawaangamiza kabisa pamoja na miji yao. Mahali pale paliitwa Horima.
And the Lord heard the voyce of Israel, and deliuered them the Canaanites: and they vtterly destroied them and their cities, and called ye name of the place Hormah.
4 Wakasafiri kutoka Mlima Hori kwa barabara kuelekea bahari ya shamu wakiizunguka nchi ya Edomu. Watu walikufa moyo kwa njia hiyo.
After, they departed from the mount Hor by the way of the red Sea, to compasse the land of Edom: and the people were sore grieued because of the way.
5 Watu wakamnung'unikia Mungu na Musa: “Kwa nini umetutoa Misiri ili tufa katika jangwa hili? Hapa hakuna mikate, wala maji, na chakula hiki dhaifu kimetukinai.”
And the people spake against God and against Moses, saying, Wherefore haue ye brought vs out of Egypt, to die in the wildernesse? for here is neither bread nor water, and our soule lotheth this light bread.
6 Basi Mungu akatuma nyoka wa sumu kati yao. Wale nyoka wakawauma wale watu; watu wengi walikufa.
Wherefore the Lord sent fierie serpents among ye people, which stung the people: so that many of the people of Israel died.
7 Watu wakaenda kwa Musa wakamwambia, “Tumetenda dhambi kwa sababu tumemnung'unikia Mungu na wewe. Mwombe Mungu atuondolee hawa nyoka.” Kwa hiyo Musa akawaombea watu.
Therefore the people came to Moses and said, We haue sinned: for wee haue spoken against the Lord, and against thee: pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from vs: and Moses prayed for the people.
8 BWANA akamwambia Musa, “Tengeneza nyoka na umweke kwenye nguzo. Na itakuwa kila anayeumwa, akimwangalia huyo nyoka atapona,”
And the Lord said vnto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it vp for a signe, that as many as are bitten, may looke vpon it, and liue.
9 Kwa hiyo Musa akatengeneza nyoka wa shaba naye akamweka juu ya nguzo. Na kila mtu alipoumwa na nyoka na kumwangalia huyo nyoka alipona.
So Moses made a serpent of brasse, and set it vp for a signe: and when a serpent had bitten a man, then he looked to the serpent of brasse, and liued.
10 Kisha watu wa Israeli wakasafiri na kisha kuweka kambi Obothi.
And ye children of Israel departed thence, and pitched in Oboth.
11 Kisha wakasafiri kutoka pale na kuweka kambi Iye Abarimu katika jangwa linalokabili Moabu kuelekea upande wa mashariki.
And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in lie-abarim, in the wildernesse, which is before Moab on the Eastside.
12 Kutoka pale wakasafiri na kuweka kambi katika bonde la Zeredi.
They remoued thence, and pitched vpon the riuer of Zared.
13 Kutoka pale walisafiri na kuweka kambi kwenye upande mwingine wa mto Amoni, ambao ukubwa wake unaanzia kwenye mpaka wa Waamori. Mto wa Amoni ndio unaootengeneza mpaka wa Moabu, kati ya Moabu na Waamori.
Thence they departed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wildernesse, and commeth out of the coasts of the Amorites: (for Arnon is the border of Moab, betweene the Moabites and the Amorites)
14 Ndiyo maana imeandikwa katika gombo la Kitabu cha BWANA, “Wahebu katika Sufa, na bonde la Amoni,
Wherefore it shall be spoken in the booke of the battels of the Lord, what thing he did in the red sea, and in the riuers of Arnon,
15 mtelemko wa bonde linaloelekea katika mji wa Ari na kuelekea kwenye mpaka wa Moabu,”
And at the streame of the riuers that goeth downe to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth vpon the border of Moab.
16 Kutoka pale wakasafiri mpaka Beeri, hapo ndipo palipo na kisima ambacho Bwana alimwambia Musa, “Wakusanye watu kwa ajili yangu ili uwape maji,”
And from thence they turned to Beer: the same is the well where the Lord said vnto Moses, Assemble the people, and I wil giue them water.
17 Ndipo Israeli waipoimba wimbo huu: “enyi visima, yajazeni maji. Imbeni juu ya kisima hiki.
Then Israel sang this song, Rise vp well, sing ye vnto it.
18 Kisima ambacho viongozi wetu walichimba, kisima ambacho wenye hekima walichimba kwa fimbo ya kifalme na kwa fimbo ya kutembelea.” Kisha kutoka jangwani walitembea mpaka Matanaha.
The princes digged this well, the captaines of the people digged it, euen the lawe giuer, with their staues. And from the wildernesse they came to Mattanah,
19 Kutoka Matanaha walisafiri mpaka Nathalieli, na kutoka Nathalieli mpaka Bamothi,
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 na kutoka Bamothi hadi kwenye bonde la Moabu. Hapo ndipo kilele cha Mlima Piska kinapoonekana jangwani.
And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the plaine of Moab, to the top of Pisgah that looketh toward Ieshimon.
21 Kisha Israeli akatuma wajumbe kwa Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori akisema,
Then Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, saying,
22 Tunaomba tupite katika nchi yako. hatutapita katika shamba au kwenye shamba la mizabibu. Hatutakunywa maji ya visima vyako. Tutapita katika njia kuu ya mfalme mpaka tutakapopita mpaka wako.”
Let me goe through thy land: we wil not turne aside into the fieldes, nor into the vineyardes, neither drinke of the waters of ye welles: we will goe by the kings way, vntill we be past thy countrey.
23 Lakini mfalme Sihoni hakumruhusu Israeli kupita kwenye mpaka wao. Badala yake, Sihoni akakusanya jeshi lake lote na kumvamia Isreli huko jangwani. Akaja kwa Jahazi, ambapo alipigana dhidi ya Israeli.
But Sihon gaue Israel no licence to passe through his countrey, but Sihon assembled all his people, and went out against Israel into the wildernesse: and he came to Iahoz, and fought against Israel.
24 Israeli akalivamia jeshi la Sihoni na nchi ya upanga na kuchukua nchi yao kutoka Amon mpaka mto Jabboki, hadi kufikia nchi ya watu wa Amoni. Sasa mpaka wa watu wa Amoni ulikuwa umefungwa.
But Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and conquered his land, from Arnon vnto Iabok, euen vnto ye children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 Israeli akachukua miji yote ya Waamori na akaishi ndani yake, pamoja na Heshiboni na vijiji vyake wote.
And Israel tooke al these cities, and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof.
26 Heshiboni ulikuwa mji wa Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori, ambaye hapo awali alipigana dhidi ya mfalme wa kwanza wa Moabu. Sihoni alikuwa ameteka ardhi yake yote toka mipaka yake mpaka mto wa Amoni.
For Heshbon was the citie of Sihon the king of the Amorites, which had fought beforetime against the king of the Moabites, and had taken al his land out of his hand, euen vnto Arnon.
27 Hiyo ndiyo sababu wala ambao huongea kwa Mitahali husema, “Njoni Heshboni. Mji wa Sihoni ujengwe na kuimarishwa tena.
Wherefore they that speake in prouerbes, say, Come to Heshbon, let the citie of Sihon bee built and repaired:
28 Moto uliwaka toka Heshiboni, moto kutoka mji wa Sihoni ambao uliiteketeza Ari ya Moabu, na wenyeji wa miji ya juu ya Amoni.
For a fire is gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the citie of Sihon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the lords of Bamoth in Arnon.
29 Ole wako, Moabu! umepotea, enyi watu wa Chemoshi. Amewafanya watu wake kuwa wakimbizi na binti zake kuwa wafungwa wa Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori.
Wo be to thee, Moab: O people of Chemosh, thou art vndone: he hath suffered his sonnes to be pursued, and his daughters to be in captiuitie to Sihon the king of the Amorites.
30 Lakini tumempiga Sihoni. Tumeiangsmiza Heshibon mpaka Diboni. Tumewaharibu wote mpaka Nofa, ambayo inafika mpaka Madeba.”
Their empire also is lost from Heshbon vnto Dibon, and wee haue destroyed them vnto Nophah, which reacheth vnto Medeba.
31 Kwa hiyo Israeli akaanza kuishi katika nchi ya Waamori,
Thus Israel dwelt in the lande of the Amorites.
32 Kisha Musa akatuma watu kwenda kuingalia Yaziri. Waliviteka vijiji vyake na kuwafukuza Waamori waliokuwa wakiishi humo.
And Moses sent to searche out Iaazer, and they tooke the townes belonging thereto, and rooted out the Amorites that were there.
33 Kisha wakageuka na kuelekea njia inayoelekea Bashani. Ogu mfalme wa Bashani akatofautiana nao, yeye na Jeshi lake lote, ili apigane nao kule Ederei.
And they turned and went vp toward Bashan: and Og the King of Bashan came out against them, hee, and all his people, to fight at Edrei.
34 Kisha BWANA akasema na Musa, “Msimwogope, kwa sababu nimewapeni ushindi dhidi yake, Jeshi lake lote na nchi yake. Mfanyeni kama mlivyomfanya Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori, aliyekuwa akiishi Heshiboni.”
Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Feare him not: for I haue deliuered him into thine hand and all his people, and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou diddest vnto Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 Kwa hiyo wakamuua, na wanawe, na jeshi lake lote, mpaka wote wakaishi na hakubaki hata mmoja aliyebaki hai. Kisha wakaichukua nchi yake.
They smote him therefore, and his sonnes, and all his people, vntill there was none left him: so they conquered his land.
