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.
The Canaanite king of Arad who lived in the Negev learned that the Israelites were approaching on the road to Atharim. He went and attacked Israel and took some of them prisoners.
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.”
So Israel made a solemn promise to the Lord: “If you hand these people over to us, we pledge to completely destroy their towns.”
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.
The Lord responded to their appeal and handed over the Canaanites to them. The Israelites completely destroyed them and their towns, and named the place Hormah.
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;
The Israelites left Mount Hor by the road leading to the Red Sea so they could avoid traveling through the country of Edom. But the people became bad-tempered on the way
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 made complaints against God and against Moses, saying, “Why did you lead us out of Egypt to die in the desert? We don't have bread or water, and we hate this awful food!”
6 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa rán ejò olóró sí àárín wọn; wọ́n gé àwọn ènìyàn jẹ, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì kú.
So the Lord sent poisonous snakes to attack them, and many Israelites were bitten and died.
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.
The people went to see Moses and told him, “We were wrong to make complaints against the Lord and against you. Please pray to the Lord to get rid of the snakes from us.” Moses prayed to the Lord on their behalf.
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.”
The Lord told Moses, “Make a model of a snake and put it on a pole. When anyone who has been bitten looks at it, they will 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 made a snake out of bronze and put it on a pole. Those who looked at it did live.
10 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tẹ̀síwájú wọ́n sì péjọ sí Obotu.
The Israelites left and camped at Oboth.
11 Wọ́n gbéra ní Obotu wọ́n sì pa ibùdó sí Iye-Abarimu, ní aginjù tí ó kọjú sí Moabu ní ìdojúkọ ìlà-oòrùn.
Then they moved on from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim in the desert on the east side of Moab.
12 Láti ibẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti gbéra wọ́n sì pa ibùdó ní àfonífojì Seredi.
They left there and camped in the Valley of Zered.
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.
Then they moved on from there and camped on the far side of the Arnon River, in the desert near Amorite territory. The Arnon River is the border between the Moab and the Amorites.
14 Ìdí nìyìí tí ìwé ogun Olúwa se wí pé, “…Wahebu ní Sufa, Òkun Pupa àti ní odò Arnoni
That's why the Book of the Wars of the Lord refers to “the town of Waheb in Suphah and the canyon of the Arnon,
15 àti ní ìṣàn odò tí ó darí sí ibùjókòó Ari tí ó sì fi ara ti ìpínlẹ̀ Moabu.”
the canyon slopes that reach the village of Ar that lies on the border with Moab.”
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.”
From there they moved on to Beer, the well where the Lord told Moses, “Have the people gather together so I can give them water.”
17 Nígbà náà ni Israẹli kọ orin yìí pé, “Sun jáde, ìwọ kànga! Ẹ máa kọrin nípa rẹ̀,
Then the Israelites sang this song: “Pour out water, well! Everyone of you sing to it!
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 tribal chiefs dug the well; yes the leaders of the people dug the well with their rods of authority and their walking sticks.” The Israelites left the desert and carried on to Mattanah.
19 láti Mattana lọ sí Nahalieli, láti Nahalieli lọ sí Bamoti,
From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to 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.
and from Bamoth to the valley in the territory of Moab where the top of Mount Pisgah looks down on the wastelands.
21 Israẹli rán oníṣẹ́ láti sọ fún Sihoni ọba àwọn ará Amori wí pé,
Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, with the following request:
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.”
“Please allow us to travel through your country. We won't cross any of your fields or vineyards, or drink water from any of your wells. We will stay on the King's Highway until we have passed through your country.”
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.
But Sihon refused to allow the Israelites to travel through his territory. Instead, he called out his whole army and went out to meet the Israelites head-on in the desert. When he arrived at Jahaz, he attacked the Israelites.
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.
The Israelites defeated them, killing them with their swords. They took over his land from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River —but only as far as the border of the Ammonites, because it was well defended.
25 Israẹli sì gba gbogbo ìlú Amori wọ́n sì ń gbé ibẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Heṣboni, àti gbogbo ibùgbé ìlú tó yí i ká.
The Israelites conquered all the Amorite towns and took them over, including Heshbon and its surrounding villages.
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.
Heshbon was the capital of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the previous king of Moab and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon River.
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.
That's why the old songwriters wrote: “Come to Heshbon and have it be rebuilt; restore the town of Sihon!
28 “Iná jáde láti Heṣboni, ọ̀wọ́-iná láti Sihoni. Ó jó Ari àti Moabu run, àti ìlú àwọn olùgbé ibi gíga Arnoni.
For a fire blazed out from Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon. It burned up Ar in Moab where the rulers live on the high places of 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.
What a disaster you face, Moab! You are all going to die, people of Chemosh! You handed over your sons as exiles and your daughters as prisoners to Sihon, king of the Amorites.
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.”
But now we have defeated the Amorites! Heshbon's rule has been destroyed all the way to Dibon. We wiped them out all the way to Nophah and on to Medeba.”
31 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ Amori.
The Israelites occupied the country of the Amorites.
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.
Moses sent men to explore Jazer. The Israelites conquered its surrounding villages and expelled the Amorites living there.
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.
Then they continued on the road towards Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, led his whole army out to meet them head on, and fought them at Edrei.
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.”
The Lord told Moses, “You don't need to be afraid of him, because I have handed him over to you, along with all his people and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled from Heshbon.”
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 killed Og, his sons, and all his army. Nobody survived, and the Israelites took over his country.
