Numbers 21
1 The king of Arad [city] lived in the area where the Canaan people-group lived, in the desert in the southern part of the land. He heard a report that the Israelis were approaching on the road to Atharim [village]. So his army attacked the Israelis and captured some of them.
At ang Cananeo, na hari sa Arad, na tumatahan sa Timugan ay nakabalita na ang Israel ay dumating sa daan ng Atarim; at nilabanan niya ang Israel at binihag ang iba sa kanila.
2 Then the Israelis solemnly vowed: “Yahweh, if you will help us to defeat these people, we will completely destroy all their towns.”
At ang Israel ay nanata sa Panginoon, at nagsabi, Kung tunay na ibibigay mo ang bayang ito sa aking kamay, ay aking lubos na gigibain nga ang kanilang mga bayan.
3 Yahweh heard what they requested, and he enabled them to defeat the army of the Canaan people-group. The Israeli soldiers killed all the people and destroyed their towns. [Ever since that time], that place has been called Hormah [which means ‘destruction’].
At dininig ng Panginoon ang tinig ng Israel, at ibinigay ang Cananeo sa kanila, at kanilang lubos na nilipol sila at ang kanilang mga bayan: at ang ipinangalan sa dakong yaon ay Horma.
4 Then the Israelis left Hor Mountain and traveled on the road towards the Red Sea, in order to go around [the land of] Edom. But the people became impatient along the way,
At sila'y naglakbay mula sa bundok ng Hor na napasa daang patungo sa Dagat na Mapula upang lumiko sa lupain ng Edom; at ang damdamin ng bayan ay nainip dahil sa daan.
5 and they began to grumble/complain against God and against Moses/me. They said, “Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die here in this desert [RHQ]? There is nothing to eat here, and nothing to drink. And we detest this lousy [manna] food!”
At ang bayan ay nagsalita laban sa Dios at laban kay Moises: Bakit ninyo kami pinasampa mula sa Egipto, upang mamatay sa ilang? sapagka't walang tinapay at walang tubig; at ang aming kaluluwa ay nasusuya na sa manang ito.
6 So Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among them. Many of the people were bitten by the snakes and died.
At ang Panginoon ay nagsugo ng mababangis na ahas sa gitna ng bayan, at kanilang kinagat ang bayan: at maraming tao sa Israel ay namatay.
7 Then the people came to Moses/me and cried out, saying, “We [now know that we] have sinned against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh, asking that he will take away the snakes!” So Moses/I prayed for the people.
At ang bayan ay naparoon kay Moises, at nagsabi, Kami ay nagkasala, sapagka't kami ay nagsalita laban sa Panginoon, at laban sa iyo; idalangin mo sa Panginoon, na kaniyang alisin sa amin ang mga ahas. At idinalangin ni Moises ang bayan.
8 Then Yahweh told him/me, “Make a model/image of a poisonous snake, and attach it to the top of a pole. If those who are bitten by the snakes look at that model, they will (recover/get well).”
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Gumawa ka ng isang mabagsik na ahas at ipatong mo sa isang tikin: at mangyayari, na bawa't taong makagat, ay mabubuhay pag tumingin doon.
9 So Moses/I made a snake from bronze and attached it to the top of a pole. Then, when those who had been bitten by a snake looked at the bronze snake, they recovered!
At si Moises ay gumawa ng isang ahas na tanso at ipinatong sa isang tikin: at nangyari, na pag may nakagat ng ahas ay nabubuhay pagtingin sa ahas na tanso,
10 Then the Israelis traveled to Oboth and (camped/set up their tents) there.
At ang mga anak ni Israel ay naglakbay, at humantong sa Oboth.
11 Then they left there, and went to Iye-Abarim, in the desert on the eastern border of Moab.
At sila'y naglakbay mula sa Oboth, at humantong sa Ije-abarim sa ilang na nasa tapat ng Moab, sa dakong sinisikatan ng araw.
12 From there they traveled to the valley where the Zered riverbed is, and camped there.
Mula roon ay naglakbay sila, at humantong sa libis ng Zared.
13 Then they traveled to the north side of the Arnon [River]. That area is in the desert next to the land where the Amor people-group lived. The Arnon [River] is the boundary between Moab and where the Amor people-group lived.
Mula roon ay naglakbay sila, at humantong sa kabilang ibayo ng Arnon, na nasa ilang na lumalabas sa hangganan ng mga Amorrheo: sapagka't ang Arnon ay hangganan ng Moab, na nasa pagitan ng Moab at ng mga Amorrheo.
14 That is why in the book called ‘The Book of the Wars of Yahweh’ it tells about “Waheb [town] in the Suphah area, and the ravines there; and the Arnon [River]
Kaya't sinasabi sa aklat ng Mga Pakikipagbaka ng Panginoon, Ang Vaheb ay sa Sufa, At ang mga libis ng Arnon,
15 and the ravines there, which extend as far as Ar [village] on the border of Moab.”
At ang kiling ng mga libis Na kumikiling sa dakong tahanan ng Ar, At humihilig sa hangganan ng Moab.
16 From there, the Israelis traveled to Beer. There was a well there, where Yahweh previously had said to Moses/me, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
At mula roon, ay napasa Beer sila, na siyang balong pinagsabihan ng Panginoon kay Moises, Pisanin mo ang bayan at aking bibigyan sila ng tubig.
17 There the Israelis sang this song: “O well, give us water! Sing about this well!
Nang magkagayo'y inawit ng Israel ang awit na ito: Bumalong ka, Oh balon; awitan ninyo siya;
18 Sing about this well which our leaders dug; they dug out [the dirt] with their royal scepters and their walking sticks.” Then the Israelis left that desert and went through Mattanah,
Siyang balong hinukay ng mga prinsipe, Na pinalalim ng mga mahal sa bayan, Ng setro at ng kanilang mga tungkod. At mula sa ilang, sila'y napasa Mathana.
19 Nahaliel, and Bamoth [villages].
At mula sa Mathana ay napasa Nahaliel: at mula sa Nahaliel ay napasa Bamoth;
20 Then they went to the valley in Moab where Pisgah [Mountain] rises above the desert.
At mula sa Bamoth ay napasa libis na nasa bukid ng Moab, sa taluktok ng Pisga, na patungo sa ilang.
21 Then the Israelis sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. This was the message [that they/we gave him]:
At ang Israel ay nagutos ng mga sugo kay Sehon, na hari ng mga Amorrheo, na sinasabi,
22 “Allow us to travel through your country. We will stay on the king’s highway, [the main road that goes from the south to the north], until we have finished traveling through your land. We will not walk through any field or vineyard, or drink water from your wells.”
Paraanin mo ako sa iyong lupain: kami ay hindi liliko sa bukid, ni sa ubasan; kami ay hindi iinom ng tubig ng mga balon: kami ay magdadaan sa maluwang na lansangan, hanggang sa aming maraanan ang iyong hangganan.
23 But King Sihon refused. He would not allow them to walk through his land. Instead, he sent his whole army to attack the Israelis in the desert. They attacked the Israelis at Jahaz [village].
At hindi ipinahintulot paraanin ni Sehon ang Israel sa kaniyang hangganan: kungdi pinisan ni Sehon ang kaniyang buong bayan, at lumabas sa ilang laban sa Israel at dumating hanggang Jahaz: at nilabanan ang Israel.
24 But the Israelis completely defeated them and occupied their land, from the Arnon [River in the south] to the Jabbok [River in the north]. They stopped at the border of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, because [the Ammon army was defending] the border strongly.
At sinaktan siya ng Israel ng talim ng tabak, at inari ang kaniyang lupain mula sa Arnon hanggang Jaboc, hanggang sa mga anak ni Ammon: sapagka't ang hangganan ng mga anak ni Ammon ay matibay.
25 So the Israelis occupied all the cities and towns where the Amor people-group lived, and some of the Israelis began to live in them. They occupied Heshbon [city] and the nearby villages.
At sinakop ng Israel ang lahat ng mga bayang ito: at ang Israel ay tumahan sa lahat ng mga bayan ng mga Amorrheo, sa Hesbon at sa lahat ng mga bayan niyaon.
26 Heshbon was the capital of the country. It was the city where King Sihon ruled. His army had previously defeated the army of the king of Moab, and then his people had begun to live in all of the land of Moab as far as the Arnon [River in the south].
Sapagka't ang Hesbon ay siyang bayan ni Sehon na hari ng mga Amorrheo, na siyang nakipaglaban sa unang hari sa Moab, at sumakop ng buong lupain niyaon sa kaniyang kamay hanggang sa Arnon.
27 For that reason, one of the poets wrote long ago, “Come to Heshbon, the city where King Sihon [ruled]. We want the city to be restored/rebuilt.
Kaya't yaong mga nagsasalita ng mga kawikaan ay nagsasabi, Halina kayo sa Hesbon, Itayo at itatag ang bayan ni Sehon:
28 A fire blazed from Heshbon; it burned down Ar [city] in Moab, it destroyed [everything on] the hills along the Arnon [River].
Sapagka't may isang apoy na lumabas sa Hesbon, Isang liyab na mula sa bayan ni Sehon: Na sumupok sa Ar ng Moab, Sa mga panginoon sa matataas na dako ng Arnon.
29 You people of Moab, terrible things have happened to you! You people who [worship your god] Chemosh have been (annihilated/wiped out)! The men who [worshiped] [MET] Chemosh have run away and are now refugees, and the women [who worshiped him] have been captured by [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group.
Sa aba mo, Moab! Ikaw ay napahamak, Oh bayan ni Chemos: Na nagpagala ng kaniyang mga anak na lalake, At ipinabihag ang kaniyang mga anak na babae, Kay Sehon na hari ng mga Amorrheo.
30 But we have defeated [Sihon and] those descendants of Amor, all the way from Heshbon [in the north] to Dibon [city in the south]. We have completely obliterated/destroyed them as far as Nophah and Medeba [towns].”
Aming pinana sila; ang Hesbon ay namatay hanggang sa Dibon, At aming iniwasak hanggang Nopha, Na umaabot hanggang Medeba.
31 So the Israeli people began to live in the land where the Amor people-group lived.
Ganito tumahan ang Israel sa lupain ng mga Amorrheo.
32 After Moses/I sent some men to explore the area near Jazer [city], Israeli people began to live in all the towns in that region and expelled the Amor people-group who lived there.
At si Moises ay nagsugo upang tumiktik sa Jazer, at kanilang sinakop ang mga bayan niyaon at pinalayas nila ang mga Amorrheo na nandoon.
33 Then they turned [north] toward the Bashan region, but King Og of Bashan and all his army attacked them at Edrei [town].
At sila'y lumiko at umahon sa daan ng Basan: at si Og na hari sa Basan ay lumabas laban sa kanila, siya at ang buong bayan niya, upang makipagbaka sa Edrei.
34 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Do not be afraid of Og, because I am going to enable your men to defeat him and his army, and to take possession of all his land. You will do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon.”
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Huwag mo siyang katakutan; sapagka't aking ibinigay siya sa iyong kamay, at ang buong bayan niya, at ang kaniyang lupain, at iyong gagawin sa kaniya ang gaya ng iyong ginawa kay Sehon na hari ng mga Amorrheo, na tumahan sa Hesbon.
35 And that is what happened. We Israelis defeated Og’s army, and killed King Og and his sons and all his people. Not a person survived! And then we Israelis began to live in their land.
Gayon nila sinaktan siya, at ang kaniyang mga anak, at ang buong bayan niya hanggang sa walang natira sa kaniya: at kanilang inari ang kaniyang lupain.
