Numbers 21
1 And it came to the ears of the Canaanite, the king of Arad, living in the South, that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, and he came out against them and took some of them prisoners.
Kralj Arada, Kanaanac koji je živio u Negebu, ču da Izrael dolazi Atarimskim putem, pa navali na Izraela i neke njegove zarobi.
2 Then Israel made an oath to the Lord, and said, If you will give up this people into my hands, then I will send complete destruction on all their towns.
Tada se Izrael ovako zavjetova Jahvi: “Ako u moje ruke izručiš ovaj narod, potpuno ću uništiti njegove gradove.”
3 And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them; and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.
Jahve usliša glas Izraela i predade mu Kanaance. A Izrael njih i njihove gradove 'heremom' uništi. Stoga se ono mjesto prozva Horma.
4 Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.
Od brda Hora zapute se prema Crvenom moru da zaobiđu zemlju edomsku. Narod putem postane nestrpljiv.
5 And crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.
I počne govoriti i protiv Boga i protiv Mojsija: “Zašto nas izvedoste iz Egipta da pomremo u ovoj pustinji? Nema kruha, nema vode, a to bijedno jelo već se ogadilo dušama našim.”
6 Then the Lord sent poison-snakes among the people; and their bites were a cause of death to numbers of the people of Israel.
Onda Jahve pošalje na narod ljute zmije; ujedale ih one, tako te pomrije mnogo naroda u Izraelu.
7 Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.
Dođe narod k Mojsiju pa reče: “Sagriješili samo kad smo govorili protiv Jahve i protiv tebe. Pomoli se Jahvi da ukloni zmije od nas!” Mojsije se pomoli za narod,
8 And the Lord said to Moses, Make an image of a snake and put it on a rod, and anyone who has been wounded by the snakes, looking on it will be made well.
i Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Napravi otrovnicu i stavi je na stup: tko god bude ujeden, ostat će na životu ako je pogleda.”
9 So Moses made a snake of brass and put it on a rod; and anyone who had a snakebite, after looking on the snake of brass, was made well.
Mojsije napravi zmiju od mjedi i postavi je na stup. Kad bi koga ujela ljutica, pogledao bi u mjedenu zmiju i ozdravio.
10 Then the children of Israel went on and put up their tents in Oboth.
Pođu Izraelci i utabore se u Obotu.
11 And journeying on again from Oboth, they put up their tents in Iye-abarim, in the waste land before Moab looking east.
Potom se zapute iz Obota i utabore se kraj Ije-Abarima, u pustinji što je nasuprot Moabu, sa strane sunčeva izlaska.
12 And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.
Odande otputuju te se utabore u dolini Zaredu.
13 From there they went on and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon, which is on the waste land at the edge of the land of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the line of division between Moab and the Amorites:
Odande krenu i utabore se s onu stranu Arnona, koji je u pustinji a izvire u području Amorejaca. Jer je Arnon granica moapska između Moabaca i Amorejaca.
14 As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;
Zato se veli u “Knjizi Jahvinih vojni”: “Vaheb kod Sufe i doline arnonske
15 The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.
i padine doline što se naginje prema mjestu Aru i naslanja se na granicu moapsku ...”
16 From there they went on to Beer, the water-spring of which the Lord said to Moses, Make the people come together and I will give them water.
Odande odoše u Beer. To je bunar o kojem je Jahve rekao Mojsiju: “Skupi narod da im dam vode!”
17 Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:
Tada Izrael zapjeva ovu pjesmu: “Proključaj, studenče! A vi ga uznosite:
18 The fountain made by the chiefs, made deep by the great ones of the people, with the law-givers' rod, and with their sticks. Then from the waste land they went on to Mattanah:
knezovi ga iskopali, prvaci narodni izdubli žezlom, štapom svojim.” Iz pustinje odu u Matanu,
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
iz Matane u Nahaliel, a iz Nahaliela u Bamot;
20 And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.
iz Bamota u dolinu što se stere u moapskom polju, prema vrhuncu Pisge, s koje se pruža vidik na pustaru.
21 And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,
Sad Izrael posla glasnike Sihonu, amorejskome kralju, s porukom:
22 Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.
“Pusti da prođem preko tvoje zemlje. Nećemo zalaziti u polja i u vinograde, niti ćemo piti vode iz bunara. Ići ćemo Kraljevskim putem dok ne prođemo tvoje područje.”
23 And Sihon would not let Israel go through his land; but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.
Ali Sihon ne dopusti Izraelu da prođe njegovim područjem, nego skupi sav svoj narod te izađe u pustinju da presretne Izraelce. Stigavši do Jahze, zavojuje na Izraela.
24 But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.
Ali ga Izrael potuče oštrim mačem i osvoji njegovu zemlju od Arnona do Jaboka, do Amonaca, jer je Az ležao na granici Amonaca.
25 And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.
Izrael zauzme sve one gradove i Izrael se nastani u svim onim gradovima Amorejaca; u Hešbonu i svim njegovim naseljima.
26 For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.
Kako je Hešbon bio glavni grad Sihona, amorejskog kralja, koji je ratovao protiv prijašnjega moapskoga kralja te osvojio svu njegovu zemlju do Arnona,
27 So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:
kažu zato pjesnici: “Hrabro, o Hešbone, dobro sazdani, čvrsto posađeni grade Sihonov!
28 For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon: for the destruction of Ar in Moab, and the lords of the high places of the Arnon.
Iz Hešbona oganj suknu, plamen iz grada Sihonova, sažga Ar moapski, proždrije visove arnonske.
29 Sorrow is yours, O Moab! Destruction is your fate, O people of Chemosh: his sons have gone in flight, and his daughters are prisoners, in the hands of Sihon, king of the Amorites.
Teško tebi, Moabe! Propao si, narode Kemošev! Od sinova bjegunce učini, a od kćeri svojih ropkinje Sihonu, kralju amorejskom.
30 They are wounded with our arrows; destruction has come on Heshbon, even to Dibon; and we have made the land waste as far as Nophah, stretching out to Medeba.
Pobili smo ih; propao je Hešbon do Dibona: sve smo razorili do Nofaha, što je blizu Medebe ...”
31 So Israel put up their tents in the land of the Amorites.
Tako se Izrael nastani u zemlji Amorejaca.
32 And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.
Mojsije se uputi da izvidi Jazer. Potom zauzmu njegova naselja a rastjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.
33 Then turning they went up by the way of Bashan; and Og, king of Bashan, went out against them with all his people, to the fight at Edrei.
Okrenu se onda i pođu prema Bašanu. A bašanski kralj Og presrete ih sa svim svojim narodom da zapodjene boj kod Edreja.
34 And the Lord said to Moses, Have no fear of him: for I have given him up into your hands, with all his people and his land; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, at Heshbon.
Ali Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Ne boj ga se! Predao sam u tvoje ruke njega, sav njegov narod i njegovu zemlju. Postupi s njim kako si postupio s amorejskim kraljem Sihonom koji je boravio u Hešbonu.”
35 So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.
I potukoše ga, i sinove njegove, i sav njegov narod, tako da nitko ne uteče. Potom zaposjedoše njegovu zemlju.
