The Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the king of Arad, who lived in the South, sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that Israel [God prevails] came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel [God prevails], and took some of them captive.
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.”
Israel [God prevails] vowed a vow to Adonai, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then 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.
Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of Israel [God prevails], and delivered up the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled]; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called 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;
They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea], to go around the land of Edom [Red] The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.
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!”
The people spoke against God, and against Moses [Drawn out], “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread.”
6 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa rán ejò olóró sí àárín wọn; wọ́n gé àwọn ènìyàn jẹ, ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì kú.
Adonai sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel [God prevails] 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 came to Moses [Drawn out], and said, “We have sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·, because we have spoken against Adonai, and against you. Pray to Adonai, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses [Drawn out] 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.”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Make a fiery serpent, and set it up on a pole. It shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees 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 [Drawn out] made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole. If a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tẹ̀síwájú wọ́n sì péjọ sí Obotu.
The children of Israel [God prevails] traveled, and encamped 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.
They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab [From father], toward the sunrise.
12 Láti ibẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti gbéra wọ́n sì pa ibùdó ní àfonífojì Seredi.
From there they traveled, and encamped 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.
From there they traveled, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers]: for the Arnon is the border of Moab [From father], between Moab [From father] and the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers].
14 Ìdí nìyìí tí ìwé ogun Olúwa se wí pé, “…Wahebu ní Sufa, Òkun Pupa àti ní odò Arnoni
Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Adonai, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
15 àti ní ìṣàn odò tí ó darí sí ibùjókòó Ari tí ó sì fi ara ti ìpínlẹ̀ Moabu.”
the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab [From father].”
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 traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “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 [God prevails] sang this song: “Spring up, well! 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 well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their poles.” From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
19 láti Mattana lọ sí Nahalieli, láti Nahalieli lọ sí Bamoti,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and 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 that is in the field of Moab [From father], to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
21 Israẹli rán oníṣẹ́ láti sọ fún Sihoni ọba àwọn ará Amori wí pé,
Israel [God prevails] sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], 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.”
“Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard. We will not drink of the water of the wells. We will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.”
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.
Sihon would not allow Israel [God prevails] to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel [God prevails] into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz. He fought against Israel [God prevails].
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.
Israel [God prevails] struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon [Tribal people]; for the border of the children of Ammon [Tribal people] was strong.
25 Israẹli sì gba gbogbo ìlú Amori wọ́n sì ń gbé ibẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Heṣboni, àti gbogbo ibùgbé ìlú tó yí i ká.
Israel [God prevails] took all these cities. Israel [God prevails] lived in all the cities of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], in Heshbon, and in all its 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.
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who had fought against the former king of Moab [From father], and taken all his land out of his hand, even to 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 those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
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 has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab [From father], The lords 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 you, Moab [From father]! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers].
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.”
We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
31 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ Amori.
Thus Israel [God prevails] lived in the land of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers].
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 [Drawn out] sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers] who were 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.
They turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle 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.”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Don’t fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people, and his land. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who lived at 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 struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
