Numbers 21
1 And [when] king Arad the Canaanite, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took [some] of them prisoners.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAlati, ko e Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he potu tonga, kuo haʻu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he hala ʻoe kau mataki; naʻa ne tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ʻave ʻae niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻo fakapōpulaʻi.
2 And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
Pea naʻe fuakava ʻaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae fuakava kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke tuku mai ʻae kakai ni ki hoku nima, te u toki fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻa honau ngaahi kolo.”
3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
Pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe tuku atu ʻae kau Kēnani; pea naʻa nau fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu mo honau ngaahi kolo: pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Hoama.
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
Pea naʻa nau fononga mei he moʻunga ko Hoa ʻi he hala ʻi he Tahi Kulokula, ke kāpui ʻae fonua ko ʻItomi: pea naʻe vaivai ʻaupito ʻae loto ʻoe kakai koeʻuhi ko e hala.
5 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for [there is] no bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul lotheth this light bread.
Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai ki he ʻOtua, pea mo Mōsese, [ʻo pehē], “Ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite ke mau mate ʻi he toafa ni? He ʻoku ʻikai ha mā, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha vai; pea ʻoku mau fehiʻa ki he mā pahapahangi ni.”
6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.
Pea naʻe tuku mai ʻe Sihova ʻae fanga ngata fakavela ki he kakai, pea naʻa nau ʻuusi ʻae kakai; pea naʻe mate ai ʻae kakai tokolahi.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mau angahala he kuo mau lāunga kia Sihova, pea mo koe; ke ke lotu kia Sihova, ke ne ʻave ʻae fanga ngata ni ʻiate kimautolu. Pea naʻe hūfia ʻe Mōsese ʻae kakai.”
8 And the LORD said to Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, Ke ke ngaohi maʻau ha ngata fakavela, ʻo ʻai ia ki ha ʻakau: pea ʻe pehē, ko ia kuo ʻūsia, ʻoka sio ia ki ai, ʻe moʻui ai ia.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngata palasa ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he ʻakau, pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau kuo ʻūsia ha tangata ʻe ha ngata, pea sio ia ki he ngata palasa, naʻe moʻui ia.
10 And the children of Israel moved forward, and pitched in Oboth.
Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo nofo ʻi ʻOpoti.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which [is] before Moab, towards the sun-rising.
Pea naʻa nau fononga mei ʻOpoti, ʻo nofo ʻi ʻIsi-ʻEpalemi, ʻi he toafa ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngataʻanga fonua ʻo Moape, ki he hopoʻanga ʻoe laʻā.
12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai ʻo nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Seleti.
13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai, ʻo nofo ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻo ʻAlanoni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he toafa ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli: he ko ʻAlanoni ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Moape, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Moape mo e kau ʻAmoli.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tau ʻa Sihova, “Mei Vaepa mo Sufa, pea mo e ngaahi vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni,
15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
Pea mo e manga ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe ʻaia ʻoku tafe ki lalo ki he nofoʻanga ʻo ʻAla pea ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Moape.”
16 And from thence [they went] to Beer: that [is] the well of which the LORD spoke to Moses, Assemble the people, and I will give them water.
Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai ki Piea ko e vai keli ia naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Fakataha ʻae kakai, pea te u foaki ʻae vai kiate kinautolu.”
17 Then Israel sung this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye to it:
Pea naʻe hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva ni ʻe ʻIsileli, “Tupu hake, ʻe vai keli ē; mou hiva ki ai:
18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by [the direction of] the lawgiver, with their staffs. And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah:
Naʻe keli ʻae vai ʻe he houʻeiki mo e kau matāpule ʻoe kakai, ʻaki ʻa honau ngaahi tokotoko, ʻi he [enginaki ʻo ia naʻe ]fai fono.” Pea naʻa nau hiki mei he toafa ki Matana.
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
Pea mei Matana ki Neʻelili: pea mei Neʻelili ki Pamoti:
20 And from Bamoth [in] the valley, that [is] in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh towards Jeshimon.
Pea mei Pamoti ki he vahaʻa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ʻo Moape, ki he tumutumu ʻo Pisika, ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki Sesimoni.
21 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae kau talafekau kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻo pehē,
22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink [of] the waters of the well: [but] we will go along by the king's [high] -way, until we have past thy borders.
“Tuku ke u ʻalu atu ʻi ho fonua: ʻe ʻikai te mau afe ki he ngoue, pe ki he ngoue vaine; ʻe ʻikai te mau inu ʻae vai ʻoe vai keli: ka te mau ʻalu ʻi he hala motuʻa ʻoe tuʻi, kaeʻoua ke mau tuku kimui ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ho fonua.”
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon collected all his people, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel:
Pea naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Sihoni ke fononga atu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hono fonua: ka naʻe fakataha ʻe Sihoni ʻa hono kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ki ʻIsileli ʻi he toafa: pea naʻa ne haʻu ki Sehasi, ʻo tau ki ʻIsileli.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon to Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon [was] strong.
Pea naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea naʻa nau maʻu hono fonua mei ʻAlanoni ki Sakopi, ʻo aʻu ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni: he naʻe mālohi ʻae ngataʻanga fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi kolo ni kotoa pē: pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻi Hesiponi, pea mo hono potu kakai kotoa pē.
26 For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to Arnon.
He ko Hesiponi ko e kolo ia ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe tau ki he tuʻi ʻe taha ʻo Moape, ʻo ne maʻu mei hono nima ʻa hono fonua kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki ʻAlanoni.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared.
Pea ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku faʻa lea ʻi he lea fakatātā, “Haʻu ki Hesiponi, langaʻi hake mo teuteu ʻae kolo ʻo Sihoni.
28 For there has a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, [and] the lords of the high places of Arnon.
He kuo ʻalu atu ʻae afi ʻi Hesiponi, ʻae ulo afi mei he kolo ʻo Sihoni: kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻAla ʻi Moape, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo ʻAlanoni.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.
ʻOku malaʻia ʻa ko e Moape! Kuo ke ʻauha, ʻE kakai ʻo Kimosi: kuo foaki ʻe ia ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine kuo hao, ke pōpula kia Sihoni, ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon has perished even to Dibon, and we have laid them waste even to Nophah, which [reacheth] to Medeba.
Naʻa mau fanaʻi ʻakinautolu; kuo ʻauha ʻa Hesiponi ʻo aʻu ki Tiponi, pea kuo mau fakalala ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki Nofa, ʻaia ʻoku aʻu ki Metipa.”
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻae nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli.
32 And Moses sent to explore Jaazer, and they took its villages, and drove out the Amorites that [were] there.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ke matakiʻi ʻa Sesa, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa hono ngaahi potu kakai, pea naʻa nau kapusi kituʻa ʻae kau ʻAmoli naʻe ʻi ai.
33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
Pea naʻa nau foki ʻo ʻalu hake ʻi he hala ʻo Pesani: pea ko Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani naʻe ʻalu atu ia kiate kinautolu, ʻa ia, pea mo hono kakai, ki he tau ʻi ʻEtilei.
34 And the LORD said to Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia: he kuo u tuku ia ki ho nima, mo hono kakai kotoa pē, mo hono fonua; pea te ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fai kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesiponi.”
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left to him alive: and they possessed his land.
Pea ko ia, naʻa nau taaʻi ia, mo hono ngaahi foha, pea mo hono kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ha taha moʻui kiate ia: pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa hono fonua.
