Numbers 21
1 Nígbà tí ọba Aradi ará Kenaani, tí ń gbé ní gúúsù gbọ́ wí pé Israẹli ń bọ̀ wá ní ojú ọ̀nà Atarimu, ó bá Israẹli jà ó sì fi agbára mú díẹ̀ lára wọn.
And when king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, had heard this, to wit, that Israel was come by the way of the spies, he fought against them, and overcoming them carried off their spoils.
2 Nígbà náà ni Israẹli jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ fún Olúwa pé, “Bí o bá lè fi àwọn ènìyàn yìí lé wa lọ́wọ́, gbogbo ìlú wọn ni a ó parun.”
But Israel binding himself by vow to the Lord, said: It thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 Olúwa gbọ́ ẹ̀bẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ó sì fi àwọn ará Kenaani lé wọn lọ́wọ́. Wọ́n pa wọ́n run pátápátá; torí náà ni a ṣe ń pe ibẹ̀ ní Horma.
And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and delivered up the Chanaanite, and they cut them off and destroyed their cities: and they called the name of that place Horma, that is to say, Anathema.
4 Wọ́n rin ìrìnàjò láti òkè Hori lọ sí ọ̀nà tó lọ sí Òkun Pupa, láti kọjá yípo Edomu. Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn bínú ní ojú ọ̀nà;
And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and labour:
5 wọ́n sì sọ̀rọ̀ lòdì sí Ọlọ́run àti Mose, wọ́n wí pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi mú wa jáde láti Ejibiti kí a ba le wá kú sí aginjù yìí? Kò sí oúnjẹ! Kò sì sí omi! Àwa sì kórìíra oúnjẹ tí kò dára yìí!”
And speaking against God and Moses, they said: Why didst thou bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food.
6 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa rán ejò olóró sí àárín wọn; wọ́n gé àwọn ènìyàn jẹ, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì kú.
Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.
7 Àwọn ènìyàn sì wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Mose wọn wí pé, “A ti dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ nígbà tí asọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Olúwa àti sí ìwọ pẹ̀lú. Gba àdúrà pé kí Olúwa mú ejò náà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wa.” Nígbà náà ni Mose gbàdúrà fún àwọn ènìyàn.
Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and thee: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Rọ ejò, a ó sì gbé e kọ́ sókè lórí igi, ẹni tí ejò bá ti gé jẹ lè wò ó yóò sì yè.”
And the Lord said to him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.
9 Nígbà náà ni Mose sì rọ ejò onírin ó sì gbé e kọ́ sórí igi, bí ejò bá sì bu ẹnikẹ́ni jẹ bí ó bá ti wò ó yóò sì yè.
Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.
10 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tẹ̀síwájú wọ́n sì péjọ sí Obotu.
And the children of Israel setting forwards camped in Oboth.
11 Wọ́n gbéra ní Obotu wọ́n sì pa ibùdó sí Iye-Abarimu, ní aginjù tí ó kọjú sí Moabu ní ìdojúkọ ìlà-oòrùn.
And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east.
12 Láti ibẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti gbéra wọ́n sì pa ibùdó ní àfonífojì Seredi.
And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared:
13 Láti ibẹ̀ lọ, wọn ṣí, wọ́n sì dó sí ìhà kejì Arnoni, tí ó wà ní aginjù tí ó wà ní agbègbè ilẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ Amori. Arnoni jẹ́ ààlà fún ilẹ̀ Moabu, láàrín Moabu àti Amori.
Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites.
14 Ìdí nìyìí tí ìwé ogun Olúwa se wí pé, “…Wahebu ní Sufa, Òkun Pupa àti ní odò Arnoni
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Amen.
15 àti ní ìṣàn odò tí ó darí sí ibùjókòó Ari tí ó sì fi ara ti ìpínlẹ̀ Moabu.”
The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.
16 Láti ibẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ rìn dé Beeri, èyí ni kànga tí Olúwa sọ fún Mose, “Kó àwọn ènìyàn jọ èmi ó sì fún wọn ní omi.”
When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Nígbà náà ni Israẹli kọ orin yìí pé, “Sun jáde, ìwọ kànga! Ẹ máa kọrin nípa rẹ̀,
Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:
18 nípa kànga tí àwọn ọmọ-aládé gbẹ́, nítorí àwọn ọlọ́lá ènìyàn ni ó gbẹ́ ẹ; tí àwọn ọlọ́lá àwọn ènìyàn sì fi ọ̀pá aládé àti ọ̀pá oyè wọn gbẹ́.” Nígbà náà wọ́n kúrò láti aginjù lọ sí Mattana,
The well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana.
19 láti Mattana lọ sí Nahalieli, láti Nahalieli lọ sí Bamoti,
From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.
20 àti láti Bamoti lọ sí àfonífojì ní Moabu níbi tí òkè Pisga, tí ó wà ní òkè ilé omi ti kọjú sí aginjù.
From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.
21 Israẹli rán oníṣẹ́ láti sọ fún Sihoni ọba àwọn ará Amori wí pé,
And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying:
22 “Jẹ́ kí a kọjá ní orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ. A kò ní kọjá sí inú oko pápá tàbí ọgbà àjàrà àbí mu omi láti inú kànga. A máa gba òpópónà náà ti ọba títí tí a ó fi la ilẹ̀ rẹ kọjá.”
I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king’s highway, till we be past thy borders.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n Sihoni kò ní jẹ́ kí àwọn Israẹli kọjá ní ilẹ̀ wọn. Ó pe àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ jọ wọ́n sì wọ́de ogun lọ sí aginjù nítorí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Nígbà tí ó dé Jahasi, ó bá àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jà.
And he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa, and fought against them.
24 Àmọ́, Israẹli ṣẹ́gun, wọn fi ojú idà pa wọ́n, wọ́n sì gba ilẹ̀ láti ọwọ́ Arnoni lọ dé Jabbok, títí tí ó fi dé ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Ammoni, nítorí pé ààlà wọn jẹ́ olódi.
And he was slain by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jeboc, and to the confines of the children of Ammon: for the borders of the Ammonites, were kept with a strong garrison.
25 Israẹli sì gba gbogbo ìlú Amori wọ́n sì ń gbé ibẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Heṣboni, àti gbogbo ibùgbé ìlú tó yí i ká.
So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof.
26 Heṣboni ni ìlú Sihoni ọba àwọn ará Amori, ẹni tí ó bá ọba Moabu ti tẹ́lẹ̀ jà tí ó sì gba gbogbo ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ títí dé Arnoni.
Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominions, as far as the Arnon.
27 Ìdí nìyìí tí akọrin sọ wí pé, “Wá sí Heṣboni kí ẹ jẹ́ kí a tún un kọ́; jẹ́ kí ìlú Sihoni padà bọ̀ sípò.
Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:
28 “Iná jáde láti Heṣboni, ọ̀wọ́-iná láti Sihoni. Ó jó Ari àti Moabu run, àti ìlú àwọn olùgbé ibi gíga Arnoni.
A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon.
29 Ègbé ní fún ọ, ìwọ Moabu! Ẹ ti parun, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Kemoṣi! Ó ti fi ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìsáǹsá àti ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbèkùn fún Sihoni ọba àwọn Amori.
Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites.
30 “Ṣùgbọ́n àti bì wọ́n ṣubú; a ti pa ìjẹgàba Heṣboni run, a pa wọ́n run títí dé Diboni. A sì ti bì wọ́n lulẹ̀ títí dé Nofa, tí ó sì fi dé Medeba.”
Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba.
31 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ Amori.
So Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorrhite.
32 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Mose rán ayọ́lẹ̀wò lọ sí Jaseri, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì gba àwọn agbègbè tó yí wọn ká wọ́n sì lé àwọn Amori tó wà níbẹ̀ jáde.
And Moses sent some to take a view of Jazer: and they took the villages of it, and conquered the inhabitants.
33 Nígbà náà wọ́n pẹ̀yìndà wọ́n sì gòkè lọ sí Baṣani, Ogu ọba ti Baṣani àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó wọ́de ogun jáde láti pàdé wọn ní ojú ogun ní Edrei.
And they turned themselves, and went up by the way of Basan, and Og the king of Basan came against them with all his people, to fight in Edrai.
34 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, nítorí tí mó tí fi òun lé ọ lọ́wọ́, àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀, àti ilẹ̀ rẹ̀, kí ìwọ kí ó ṣe sí i gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti ṣe sí Sihoni ọba Amori ẹni tí ó ń jẹ ọba ní Heṣboni.”
And the Lord said to Moses: Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people, and his country into thy hand: and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, the inhabitant of Hesebon.
35 Wọ́n sì pa á, pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀, wọn kò fi ku ẹnìkan fún un láàyè. Wọ́n sì gba ìní ilẹ̀ rẹ̀.
So they slew him also with his sons, and all his people, not letting any one escape, and they possessed his land.
