< Numbers 21 >

1 When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was traveling by the road to Atharim, he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.
И услыша Хананей царь Арадский живый при пустыни, яко прииде Израиль путем Афаримским, и ратова противу Израиля, и взя от них плен.
2 Israel vowed to Yahweh and said, “If you give us victory over these people, then we will completely destroy their cities.”
И обещася Израиль обетом Господу и рече: аще мне предаси люди сия подручны, погублю их и грады их.
3 Yahweh listened to Israel's voice and he gave them victory over the Canaanites. They completely destroyed them and their cities. That place was called Hormah.
И услыша Господь глас Израилев и предаде Хананеа подручна ему: и опустоши его и грады его, и прозва има месту тому Запустение.
4 They traveled from Mount Hor by the road to the Sea of Reeds to go around the land of Edom. The people became very discouraged on the way.
И воздвигшеся от Ора горы путем иже к морю Чермному, обыдоша землю Едомлю: и малодушествоваша людие на пути,
5 The people spoke against God and Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, no water, and we hate this miserable food.”
и роптаху людие на Бога и на Моисеа, глаголюще: вскую извел еси ны из Египта убити нас в пустыни, яко несть хлеба, ни воды? И душа наша негодует о хлебе сем тщем.
6 Then Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among the people. The snakes bit the people; many people died.
И посла Господь на люди змиев умерщвляющих, и угрызаху людий: и умроша люди мнози от сынов Израилевых.
7 The people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned because we have spoken against Yahweh and you. Pray to Yahweh for him to take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
И пришедше людие к Моисеови глаголаша: согрешихом, яко роптахом на Господа и на тя: помолися убо ко Господу, да отженет от нас змии. И помолися Моисей ко Господу о людех.
8 Yahweh said to Moses, “Make a snake and attach it to a pole. It will happen that everyone who is bitten will survive, if he looks at it.”
И рече Господь к Моисею: сотвори себе змию (медяну) и положи ю на знамя: и будет аще угрызет змия человека, всяк угрызенный видев ю жив будет.
9 So Moses made a bronze snake and attached it to a pole. When a snake bit any person, if he looked at the bronze snake, he survived.
И сотвори Моисей змию медяну и постави ю на знамени: и бысть егда угрызаше змия человека, и взираше на змию медяну, и оживаше.
10 Then the people of Israel traveled on and camped at Oboth.
И воздвигошася сынове Израилевы, и ополчишася во Овофе:
11 They traveled from Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness that faces Moab toward the east.
и воздвигшеся от Овофа, ополчишася во Ахалгеи об ону страну пустыни, яже есть пред лицем Моавитским, на восток солнца:
12 From there they traveled on and camped in the Valley of Zered.
и оттуду воздвигошася, и ополчишася в дебри Заред:
13 From there they traveled on and camped on the other side of the Arnon River, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites. The Arnon River forms the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
и оттуду воздвигшеся, ополчишася об ону страну Арнона в пустыни, яже исходит от предел Аморрейских: есть бо Арнон предел Моавль между Моавом и между Аморреом.
14 That is why it says in the scroll of the Wars of Yahweh, “... Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,
Сего ради глаголется в книзе брань Господня: Зоову попали, и потоки Арнони,
15 the slope of the valleys that lead toward the town of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
и потоки устрои в селение Ир, и прилежит пределом Моавлим.
16 From there they traveled to Beer, the well where Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together for me to give them water.”
И оттуду (воздвигошася) ко Кладязю: сей есть кладязь, о немже рече Господь к Моисею: собери люди, и дам им воду пити.
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing about it,
Тогда воспе Израиль песнь сию у кладязя: начинайте ему:
18 about the well that our leaders dug, the well the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter and their staffs.” Then from the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah.
кладязь, ископаша его князи, изсекоша его царие язычестии во царствии их, внегда обладати ими. И от кладязя (воздвигошася) в Манфанаил:
19 From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
и от Манфанаила в Наадиил, и от Наадиила в Вамоф:
20 and from Bamoth to a valley in the land of Moab. That is where the top of Mount Pisgah looks down on the wilderness.
и от Вамофа в Напин, иже есть на поли Моавли, от верха Изсеченаго, зрящаго пред лице пустыни.
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites saying,
И посла Моисей послы к Сиону царю Аморрейску, словесы мирными глаголя:
22 “Let us pass through your land. We will not turn into any field or vineyard. We will not drink the water from your wells. We will travel by the king's highway until we have crossed your border.”
да пройдем сквозе землю твою, путем пойдем: не уклонимся ни на села, ни на винограды, не испием воды от кладязь твоих: путем царским пойдем, дондеже пройдем пределы твоя.
23 But King Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through their border. Instead, Sihon gathered all his army together and attacked Israel in the wilderness. He came to Jahaz, where he fought against Israel.
И не даде Сион Израилю проити сквозе пределы своя: и собра Сион вся люди своя, и изыде ополчитися на Израиля в пустыню: и прииде во Иассан, и ополчися на Израиля.
24 Israel attacked the army of Sihon with the edge of the sword and took their land from the Arnon to the Jabbok river, as far as the land of the people of Ammon. Now the border of the people of Ammon was fortified.
И порази его Израиль убийством меча, и обладаше землею его от Арнона до Иавока, даже до сынов Амманих: яко Иазир пределы сынов Амманих суть.
25 Israel took all the Amorite cities and lived in all of them, including Heshbon and all of its villages.
И взя Израиль вся грады сия: и вселися Израиль во всех градех Аморрейских, во Есевоне и во всех подлежащих ему:
26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab. Sihon had taken all his land from his territory to the Arnon River.
есть бо Есевон град Сиона царя Аморрейска: и сей повоева царя Моавля прежде и взя всю землю его от Ароира даже до Арнона.
27 That is why those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be rebuilt and established again.
Сего ради рекут приточницы: приидите во Есевон, да соградится и созиждется град Сион:
28 A fire blazed from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon that devoured Ar of Moab, and the owners of the high places of Arnon.
яко огнь изыде от Есевона и пламень от града Сиона, и пояде даже до Моава, и пожре столпы Арнонския:
29 Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, people of Chemosh. He has made his sons to be fugitives and his daughters to be prisoners of Sihon king of the Amorites.
горе тебе, Моаве, погибосте, людие Хамосовы: продани быша сынове их в заключение и дщери их пленницы царю Аморрейскому Сиону:
30 But we have conquered Sihon. Heshbon is devastated all the way to Dibon. We have defeated them all the way to Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
и семя их погибнет, Есевон даже до Девона: и жены их еще разожгоша огнь на Моава.
31 So Israel began to live in the Amorites' land.
Вселися же Израиль во вся грады Аморрейски:
32 Then Moses sent men to look at Jazer. They took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
и посла Моисей соглядати Иазира: и взяша его и села его, и изгнаша Аморреа живущаго тамо:
33 Then they turned and went up by the road of Bashan. Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his army, to fight them at Edrei.
и возвратившеся, приидоша путем в Васан. И изыде Ог, царь Васанский, противу им и вси людие его на брань во Едраин.
34 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Do not fear him, because I have given you victory over him, all his army, and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”
И рече Господь к Моисею: не убойся его, яко в руце твои предах его и вся люди его и всю землю его: и сотвориши ему, якоже сотворил еси Сиону царю Аморрейску, иже живяше во Есевоне.
35 So they killed him, his sons, and all his army, until none of his people were left alive. Then they took over his land.
И порази его и сыны его и вся люди его, даже не оста в них живый: и наследиша землю его.
