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.
And he heard the Canaanite [the] king of Arad [who] dwelt the Negev that it had come Israel [the] way of the Atharim and he engaged in battle against Israel and he took captive - some of it captive[s].
2 Israeli akaapa mbele ya BWANA akasema, “Kama utatupa ushindi dhidi ya hawa watu, ndipo tutakapoingamiza kabisa miji yao,”
And it vowed Israel a vow to Yahweh and it said certainly [if] you will give the people this in hand my and I will totally destroy cities their.
3 BWANA akaisikia sautiya Israeli na kuwapa ushindi dhidi ya Wakanaani. Wakawaangamiza kabisa pamoja na miji yao. Mahali pale paliitwa Horima.
And he listened Yahweh to [the] voice of Israel and he delivered up the Canaanite[s] and it totally destroyed them and cities their and someone called [the] 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.
And they set out from Hor the mountain [the] direction of [the] sea of reed[s] to go around [the] land of Edom and it became short [the] self of the people on 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 it spoke the people against God and against Moses why? have you brought up us from Egypt to die in the wilderness for there not [is] food and there not [is] water and self our it loathes the food worthless.
6 Basi Mungu akatuma nyoka wa sumu kati yao. Wale nyoka wakawauma wale watu; watu wengi walikufa.
And he sent Yahweh among the people the snakes the saraphs and they bit the people and it died a people numerous from Israel.
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.
And it came the people to Moses and they said we have sinned for we have spoken against Yahweh and against you pray to Yahweh so may he remove from on us the snake[s] and he prayed Moses for the people.
8 BWANA akamwambia Musa, “Tengeneza nyoka na umweke kwenye nguzo. Na itakuwa kila anayeumwa, akimwangalia huyo nyoka atapona,”
And he said Yahweh to Moses make for yourself a saraph and put it on a standard and it will be every [one who] is bitten and he will see it and he will live.
9 Kwa hiyo Musa akatengeneza nyoka wa shaba naye akamweka juu ya nguzo. Na kila mtu alipoumwa na nyoka na kumwangalia huyo nyoka alipona.
And he made Moses a snake of bronze and he put it on the standard and it was if it had bitten the snake anyone and he looked to [the] snake of bronze and he lived.
10 Kisha watu wa Israeli wakasafiri na kisha kuweka kambi Obothi.
And they set out [the] people of Israel and they encamped in Oboth.
11 Kisha wakasafiri kutoka pale na kuweka kambi Iye Abarimu katika jangwa linalokabili Moabu kuelekea upande wa mashariki.
And they set out from Oboth and they encamped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness which [is] on [the] face of Moab from [the] rising of the sun.
12 Kutoka pale wakasafiri na kuweka kambi katika bonde la Zeredi.
From there they set out and they encamped in [the] wadi of Zered.
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.
From there they set out and they encamped from [the] other side of Arnon which [is] in the wilderness which goes out from [the] border of the Amorite[s] that Arnon [is] [the] border of Moab between Moab and between the Amorite[s].
14 Ndiyo maana imeandikwa katika gombo la Kitabu cha BWANA, “Wahebu katika Sufa, na bonde la Amoni,
There-fore it is said in [the] book of [the] wars of Yahweh Waheb in Suphah and the wadis Arnon.
15 mtelemko wa bonde linaloelekea katika mji wa Ari na kuelekea kwenye mpaka wa Moabu,”
And [the] slope of the wadis which it extends to [the] dwelling of Ar and it leans to [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 there Beer towards that [is] the well which he said Yahweh to Moses gather the people so let me give to them water.
17 Ndipo Israeli waipoimba wimbo huu: “enyi visima, yajazeni maji. Imbeni juu ya kisima hiki.
Then it sang Israel the song this spring up O well sing of 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.
A well [which] they dug it [the] leaders [which] they dug it [the] noble [people] of the people with a ruler's staff with staffs their and from [the] wilderness Mattanah.
19 Kutoka Matanaha walisafiri mpaka Nathalieli, na kutoka Nathalieli mpaka Bamothi,
And from Mattanah Nahaliel and from Nahaliel Bamoth.
20 na kutoka Bamothi hadi kwenye bonde la Moabu. Hapo ndipo kilele cha Mlima Piska kinapoonekana jangwani.
And from Bamoth the valley which [is] in [the] region of Moab [the] top of Pisgah and it looked down over [the] face of the desolate place.
21 Kisha Israeli akatuma wajumbe kwa Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori akisema,
And it sent Israel messengers to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] 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 pass in land your not we will turn aside in a field and in a vineyard not we will drink water of a well on [the] way of the king we will go until that we will pass through territory your.
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.
And not he permitted Sihon Israel to pass in territory his and he gathered Sihon all people his and he went out to meet Israel the wilderness towards and he came Jahaz towards and he engaged in battle 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.
And it struck him Israel to [the] mouth of [the] sword and it took possession of land his from Arnon to Jabbok to [the] descendants of Ammon for [was] strong [the] border of [the] descendants of Ammon.
25 Israeli akachukua miji yote ya Waamori na akaishi ndani yake, pamoja na Heshiboni na vijiji vyake wote.
And it took Israel all the cities these and it dwelt Israel in all [the] cities of the Amorite[s] in Heshbon and in all daughters its.
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] city of Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] it and he he had waged war against [the] king of Moab former and he had taken all land his from hand his to Arnon.
27 Hiyo ndiyo sababu wala ambao huongea kwa Mitahali husema, “Njoni Heshboni. Mji wa Sihoni ujengwe na kuimarishwa tena.
There-fore they say those [who] speak proverbs come Heshbon let it be rebuilt and it may be established [the] city of Sihon.
28 Moto uliwaka toka Heshiboni, moto kutoka mji wa Sihoni ambao uliiteketeza Ari ya Moabu, na wenyeji wa miji ya juu ya Amoni.
For fire it went out from Heshbon flame from [the] town of Sihon it consumed Ar of Moab [the] citizens of [the] high places of 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.
Woe! to you O Moab you have perished O people of Chemosh he has made sons his fugitives and daughters his in captivity of [the] king of [the] Amorite[s] Sihon.
30 Lakini tumempiga Sihoni. Tumeiangsmiza Heshibon mpaka Diboni. Tumewaharibu wote mpaka Nofa, ambayo inafika mpaka Madeba.”
And we shot at them it has perished Heshbon to Dibon and we have devastated to Nophah which [is] to Medeba.
31 Kwa hiyo Israeli akaanza kuishi katika nchi ya Waamori,
And it dwelt Israel in [the] land of the Amorite[s].
32 Kisha Musa akatuma watu kwenda kuingalia Yaziri. Waliviteka vijiji vyake na kuwafukuza Waamori waliokuwa wakiishi humo.
And he sent Moses to spy out Jazer and they captured daughters its (and it dispossessed *Q(K)*) the Amorite[s] who [was] 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 they went up [the] direction of Bashan and he went out Og [the] king of Bashan to meet them he and all people his for battle 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.”
And he said Yahweh to Moses may not you fear him for in hand your I have given him and all people his and land his and you will do to him just as you did to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] who [was] dwelling in Heshbon.
35 Kwa hiyo wakamuua, na wanawe, na jeshi lake lote, mpaka wote wakaishi na hakubaki hata mmoja aliyebaki hai. Kisha wakaichukua nchi yake.
And they struck down him and sons his and all people his until not he had left to him a survivor and they took possession of land his.
