< Numbers 21 >

1 The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
Kanaannaw Arad siangpahrang akalae kaawm e niyah, Isarelnaw, Atharim lam koe lah a tho awh ti a thai awh toteh, Isarelnaw hah a tuk awh teh, a tangawn san lah a man awh.
2 Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
Hottelah Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA koevah lawk a kam awh teh, hetnaw heh kaimouh kut dawk na poe pawiteh, a khopui hah peng ka raphoe thai han telah ati awh.
3 The LORD listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. The name of the place was called Hormah.
BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw e lawk a tarawi pouh teh, Kanaannaw teh a kut dawk poe lah ao. Amamouh hoi a khopuinaw hah he a raphoe teh, hote hmuen teh Hormah telah ati awh.
4 They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. The soul of the people was very discouraged because of the journey.
Hor mon koehoi tuipui paling koelah Edom ram lawngven lahoi a cei awh. Lam ekvoi a kâhei awh dawkvah, taminaw pueng teh a lungkuep laipalah,
5 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, there is no water, and our soul loathes this disgusting food!”
Cathut hoi Mosi taranlahoi kahrawngum vah due hanelah bangkongmaw Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai. Vaiyei hai awm hoeh, tui hai awm hoeh, hete vaiyei karawcap e hai ka hringnae ni a panuet toe, telah ati awh.
6 The LORD sent venomous snakes among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel died.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hmai tahrun a thasin teh, taminaw a khue dawkvah moikapap a due awh.
7 The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses prayed for the people.
Hatnavah taminaw ni Mosi koe a tho awh teh, BAWIPA hoi nang koe taranlahoi lawk ka dei e hah ka yon awh toe. Tahrunnaw hah kaimouh koehoi takhoe hanlah BAWIPA koe na kâhet pouh leih, telah atipouh.
8 The LORD said to Moses, “Make a venomous snake, and set it on a pole. It shall happen that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
BAWIPA ni Mosi koe hmai tahrun hah sak nah teh khom dawk hoi pathout pouh. Tahrun ni a khue e pueng ni hote hah a khet vaiteh a hring awh han telah atipouh.
9 Moses 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.
Hahoi Mosi ni rahum tahrun hah a sak teh, khom dawk a vo. Hahoi teh tahrun ni a khue e pueng rahum tahrun hah a khet awh teh a dam awh.
10 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
Isarel catounnaw teh, pou a kâtahruet awh teh, Oboth vah a roe awh.
11 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
Oboth hoi bout a cei awh teh, Kanîtholah Moab kahrawng teng Iyeabarim vah a roe awh.
12 From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
Haw hoi a cei awh teh Zered tanghling dawk a roe awh.
13 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; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
Haw hoi bout a cei awh teh, Amornaw e ramri hoi pou kâkuen e Arnon namran lah a roe awh. Arnon teh Moab ramri, Moab hoi Amornaw rahak vah kaawm e doeh.
14 Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA tarantuknae cauk dawk, Suphat hoi Vaheb Arnon, Arnon sawkcanaw hoi.
15 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”
Ar kho lahoi ka lawng e sawkcanaw hai, Moab ramri lahoi a teng poe ka lawng e telah a dei awh.
16 From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
Hahoi, Beer lah a cei awh. Haw teh BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, taminaw pueng hah kaw nateh, tui ka poe han ati nae tuikhu koe doeh.
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,
Hahoi hete la heh Isarelnaw ni a sak awh. Oe tuiphuek tâcawt haw telah la heh a phueng awh
18 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;
Kahrawikungnaw a bonae tuikhu hah kâlawk kapoekung sonron hoi tai e, miphunnaw kahrawikung ni a tai e, ti hoiyah, hote kahrawng koehoi Mattanah lah a cei awh.
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
Mattanah hoi Nahaliel, Nahaliel hoi Bamoth,
20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
Bamoth hoi Moab ram kaawm e tanghling, Pisgah som kho ouk khetnae hmuen, hmu thainae koe a kâtahruet awh.
21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Isarelnaw ni Amornaw e siangpahrang Sihon koevah, na ram dawk hoi kaimouh na rakan sak haw. Na law dawk thoseh, misur takha dawk thoseh, ka cet awh mahoeh. Na tuikhu dawk e tui hai ka net awh mahoeh.
22 “Let me pass through your land. We will not turn away into field or 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.”
Na ram ka tapoung hoeh roukrak, siangpahrang lamthungpui dawk doeh ka cet awh ti telah patounenaw a patoun.
23 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. He fought against Israel.
Hatei, Sihon ni a ram dawk rakan sak hane pasoung hoeh. Hottelah Sihon ni a taminaw pueng a pâkhueng teh, Isarelnaw tuk hanlah kahrawngum a kamthaw awh. Jahaz vah a pha awh teh Isarelnaw hah a tuk awh.
24 Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was fortified.
Isarelnaw ni, kahran e tahloi hoi a tuk awh van teh a ram teh Arnon hoi Jabbok totouh, Ammon catounnaw ram totouh a la pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ammonnaw e ramri teh pou a patoup awh e doeh.
25 Israel took all these cities. Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
Isarelnaw ni khonaw pueng koung a la awh. Hottelah Isarelnaw teh, Ammonnaw e khonaw pueng dawk Heshbon hoi khotenaw pueng dawk kho a sak awh.
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 the Arnon.
Heshbon kho teh Ammornaw e siangpahrang Sihon onae kho doeh. Ahni teh Moab siangpahrang hoi taran a kâtuk teh a kut dawk e a ram naw pueng Arnon palang kalatkung doeh.
27 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
Hatdawkvah, la ka phuengkung ni, Heshbon vah tho loe, Sihon khopui teh bout thawng awh sei, bout pathoup awh sei.
28 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Heshbon hoi hmai a tâco teh, Sihon khopui hoi hmai a to. Moab khopui Ar kho koung a kak. Arnon hmuenrasang bawinaw hoi,
29 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.
Oe Moab na yawthoe, nang teh na kahma toe. Khemosh taminaw, Amornaw e siangpahrang koevah, a capanaw yawngkhai hane hoi, a canunaw a san lah a poe awh.
30 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
Hatei, kai ni na tâ awh toe. Heshbon teh Dibon totouh a kahma. Hottelah Nophah kho totouh a raphoe teh, hot ni teh Medeba totouh a pha.
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
Hot patetlah Amornaw e ram koe Isarelnaw teh kho a sak awh.
32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
Hahoi Mosi ni Jazer tuet hanlah tami a patoun. Hote kho a la teh, haw vah kaawm e Amor taminaw a pâlei awh.
33 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.
A ban awh teh, Bashan lam koe lah a takhang awh. Bashan siangpahrang Og teh ahnimouh tuk hanelah ama hoi a taminaw pueng hoi Edrei hoi tuk hanelah a kamthaw awh.
34 The LORD said to Moses, “Do not 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, who lived at Heshbon.”
BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah ahni teh taket hanh loe. Ama hoi a taminaw khuehoi a ram totouh na kut dawk na poe toe. Heshbon e kaawm e Amornaw e siangpahrang Sihon koevah na sak e patetlah na sak han telah atipouh.
35 So they struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
Hahoi teh ama thoseh, a capanaw thoseh, buet touh boehai pâhlung laipalah a taminaw pueng hoi a thei awh teh a ram teh hmawi a tawn pouh awh.
