When the Canaanite king of Arad who lived in the Negev heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.

Israel vowed a vow to YHWH, and said, "If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."
3 BOEIPA loh Israel kah ol te a yaak dongah Kanaan te a paek. Te dongah amih neh a khopuei te a thup tih a hmuen ming te Hormah a sak.
YHWH listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the place was called Hormah.
4 Hor tlang lamloh carhaek tuili longpuei la Edom khohmuen te lan ham cet uh. Tedae longpueng ah pilnam kah hinglu tah a huet pah.
They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.

The people spoke against God, and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread."
6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh pilnam taengah minyuk rhul te a tueih pah tih pilnam te a tuk dongah Israel khui lamkah pilnam muep duek.
YHWH sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.

The people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against YHWH, and against you. Pray to YHWH, that he take away the serpents from us." Moses prayed for the people.
8 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Namah loh minyuk saii lamtah rholik soah bang, te vaengah ana om bitni, rhul kah a tuk boeih loh te te a hmuh vaengah hing ni,” a ti nah.
YHWH said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live."
9 Te phoeiah Moses loh rhohum rhul te a saii tih rholik dongah a tai. Te a om phoeiah atah rhul loh hlang a tuk akhaw rhohum rhul te a paelki tih hing.
Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek te thoeih uh tih Oboth ah rhaeh uh.
The children of Israel traveled, and camped in Oboth.
11 Oboth lamloh thoeih uh tih khomik khocuk kah Moab dan, Ijeabarim khosoek ah rhaeh uh.
They traveled from Oboth, and camped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
12 Te lamloh cet uh tih Zered soklong ah rhaeh uh.
From there they traveled, and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13 Te lamloh cet uh tih Amori khorhi lamkah aka pawk khosoek kah Arnon rhalvangan ah rhaeh uh. Moab khorhi kah Arnon tah Moab laklo neh Amori laklo ah om.
From there they traveled, and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Te dongah BOEIPA kah caemtloek cabu khuiah tah “Suphah kah Vaheb neh Arnon soklong,” a ti.
Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of YHWH, "Waheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
15 Soklong kah tuibah te Ar khosa la a doo tih Moab khorhi te a pangnat.
the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab."
16 Te lamloh Beer la thoeih uh tih tekah tuito ah tah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam te coi lamtah amih te tui ka pae eh,” a ti nah.
From there they traveled to Beer: that is the well of which YHWH said to Moses, "Gather the people together, and I will give them water."
17 Te vaengah Israel loh hekah laa he a hlai. Tuito phuet lah amah te doo lah.
Then sang Israel this song: "Spring up, well; sing to it:
18 Tuito te mangpa rhoek loh a too uh tih, pilnam hlangcong rhoek loh a vueh. Mattanah khosoek lamloh a conghol neh a taem uh.
the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their staffs." From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
19 Mattanah lamloh Nahaliel, Nahaliel lamloh Bamoth,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20 Bamoth lamloh Moab khohmuen kah kolrhawk, Pisgah som neh khopong hmai kah a dan la thoeih uh.
and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
21 Israel loh Amori manghai Sihon taengah puencawn a tueih tih,
Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 “Na khohmuen longah ka kat mai eh, lohma li neh misurdum khuiah ka ael uh mahpawh, tuito tui khaw ka o uh mahpawh, na khorhi ka poeng hil manghai longpuei bangla ka vai uh bitni,” a ti nah.
"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 Tedae Sihon loh Israel te a khorhi longah kat sak pawh. Sihon loh a pilnam boeih te a coi tih Israel doe ham khosoek la cet uh. Jahaz la a pawk vaengah Israel te a tloek.
Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel.
24 Te dongah Israel loh anih te cunghang ha neh a tloek tih a khohmuen te Arnon lamloh Jabbok hil, Ammon koca taeng duela a huul pa. Te vaengah Ammon koca khorhi tah cak.
Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was strong.
25 Israel ca loh te kah khopuei boeih te a loh pah. Te dongah Israel loh Amori khopuei rhoek boeih ah khaw, Heshbon neh a khobuel boeih ah khaw kho a sak.
Israel took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its towns.
26 Amori manghai Sihon kah khopuei Heshbon phoeiah tah lamhma kah Moab manghai te a tloek tih a kut lamkah a khohmuen pum te Arnon duela a loh.
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 the Arnon.
27 Te dongah aka thuidoek rhoek loh, “Halo uh, Heshbon thoh uh lamtah Sihon khopuei khaw sikim saeh,” tila aka thuidoek rhoek loh a thui uh.
Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
28 “Hmai te Heshbon lamloh puek tih Sihon khorha lamkah hmaisai loh Arnon kah hmuensang boei, Moab Ar te a hlawp.
for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, swallowed up the high places of the Arnon.
29 Anunae Moab nang aih te, Khemosh pilnam na milh coeng, a capa rhoek! te hlangyong la, a canu rhoek khaw Sihon Amori manghai taengah thongtla la a paek.
Woe to you, Moab. You are undone, people of Chemosh. He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 Amih te n'dong tih Heshbon tah Dibon duela milh, Medeba taengkah Nophah duela m'pong sak uh coeng,” a ti uh.
And we shot at them. Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. And we have laid waste as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba."
31 Te dongah Israel loh Amori khohmuen ah kho a sak.
Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
32 Te phoeiah Moses loh Jazer ah longyam la a tueih tih a khobuel rhoek te a buem, a huul uh phoeiah Amori te pahoi a vai uh.
Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its towns, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 Te phoeiah mael uh tih Bashan longpuei a paan uh. Te vaengah Bashan manghai Oga tah amih doe hamla amah khaw a pilnam boeih khaw, Edrei caemtloeknah la cet.
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 battle at Edrei.
34 Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Anih te rhih boeh, Na kut dongah anih neh a pilnam boeih khaw, a khohmuen khaw kam paek coeng. Heshbon kah khosa, Amori manghai Sihon taengah na saii bangla anih te saii van,” a ti nah.
YHWH said to Moses, "Do not fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."
35 Te dongah a taengah rhaengnaeng khaw a sueng pawt hil amah khaw, a ca rhoek khaw, a pilnam boeih khaw a tloek pa uh tih a khohmuen te a huul uh.
So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
