Numbers 21
1 When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was traveling by the road to Atharim, he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.
Quod cum audisset Chananæus rex Arad, qui habitabat ad meridiem, venisse scilicet Israel per exploratorum viam, pugnavit contra illum, et victor existens, duxit ex eo prædam.
2 Israel vowed to Yahweh and said, “If you give us victory over these people, then we will completely destroy their cities.”
At Israel voto se Domino obligans, ait: Si tradideris populum istum in manu mea, delebo urbes eius.
3 Yahweh listened to Israel's voice and he gave them victory over the Canaanites. They completely destroyed them and their cities. That place was called Hormah.
Exaudivitque Dominus preces Israel, et tradidit Chananæum, quem ille interfecit subversis urbibus eius: et vocavit nomen loci illius Horma, id est, anathema.
4 They traveled from Mount Hor by the road to the Sea of Reeds to go around the land of Edom. The people became very discouraged on the way.
Profecti sunt autem et de monte Hor, per viam, quæ ducit ad Mare rubrum, ut circumirent terram Edom. Et tædere cœpit populum itineris ac laboris:
5 The people spoke against God and Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, no water, and we hate this miserable food.”
locutusque contra Deum et Moysen, ait: Cur eduxisti nos de Ægypto, ut moreremur in solitudine? Deest panis, non sunt aquæ: anima nostra iam nauseat super cibo isto levissimo.
6 Then Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among the people. The snakes bit the people; many people died.
Quamobrem misit Dominus in populum ignitos serpentes, ad quorum plagas et mortes plurimorum,
7 The people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned because we have spoken against Yahweh and you. Pray to Yahweh for him to take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
venerunt ad Moysen, atque dixerunt: Peccavimus, quia locuti sumus contra Dominum et te: ora ut tollat a nobis serpentes. Oravitque Moyses pro populo,
8 Yahweh said to Moses, “Make a snake and attach it to a pole. It will happen that everyone who is bitten will survive, if he looks at it.”
et locutus est Dominus ad eum: Fac serpentem æneum, et pone eum pro signo: qui percussus aspexerit eum, vivet.
9 So Moses made a bronze snake and attached it to a pole. When a snake bit any person, if he looked at the bronze snake, he survived.
Fecit ergo Moyses SERPENTEM ÆNEUM, et posuit eum pro signo: quem cum percussi aspicerent, sanabantur.
10 Then the people of Israel traveled on and camped at Oboth.
Profectique filii Israel castrametati sunt in Oboth.
11 They traveled from Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness that faces Moab toward the east.
Unde egressi fixere tentoria in Ieabarim, in solitudine, quæ respicit Moab contra orientalem plagam.
12 From there they traveled on and camped in the Valley of Zered.
Et inde moventes, venerunt ad Torrentem Zared.
13 From there they traveled on and camped on the other side of the Arnon River, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites. The Arnon River forms the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
Quem relinquentes castrametati sunt contra Arnon, quæ est in deserto, et prominet in finibus Amorrhæi. siquidem Arnon terminus est Moab, dividens Moabitas et Amorrhæos.
14 That is why it says in the scroll of the Wars of Yahweh, “... Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,
Unde dicitur in libro bellorum Domini: Sicut fecit in Mari rubro, sic faciet in torrentibus Arnon.
15 the slope of the valleys that lead toward the town of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.”
Scopuli torrentium inclinati sunt, ut requiescerent in Ar, et recumberent in finibus Moabitarum.
16 From there they traveled to Beer, the well where Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together for me to give them water.”
Ex eo loco apparuit puteus, super quo locutus est Dominus ad Moysen: Congrega populum, et dabo ei aquam.
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing about it,
Tunc cecinit Israel carmen istud: Ascendat puteus. Concinebant:
18 about the well that our leaders dug, the well the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter and their staffs.” Then from the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah.
Puteus, quem foderunt principes, et paraverunt duces multitudinis in datore legis, et in baculis suis. De solitudine, Matthana.
19 From Mattanah they traveled to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
De Matthana in Nahaliel: de Nahaliel, in Bamoth.
20 and from Bamoth to a valley in the land of Moab. That is where the top of Mount Pisgah looks down on the wilderness.
De Bamoth, vallis est in regione Moab, in vertice Phasga, quod respicit contra desertum.
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites saying,
Misit autem Israel nuncios ad Sehon regem Amorrhæorum, dicens:
22 “Let us pass through your land. We will not turn into any field or vineyard. We will not drink the water from your wells. We will travel by the king's highway until we have crossed your border.”
Obsecro ut transire mihi liceat per terram tuam: non declinabimus in agros et vineas, non bibemus aquas ex puteis, via regia gradiemur, donec transeamus terminos tuos.
23 But King Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through their border. Instead, Sihon gathered all his army together and attacked Israel in the wilderness. He came to Jahaz, where he fought against Israel.
Qui concedere noluit ut transiret Israel per fines suos: quin potius exercitu congregato, egressus est obviam in desertum, et venit in Iasa, pugnavitque contra eum.
24 Israel attacked the army of Sihon with the edge of the sword and took their land from the Arnon to the Jabbok river, as far as the land of the people of Ammon. Now the border of the people of Ammon was fortified.
A quo percussus est in ore gladii, et possessa est terra eius ab Arnon usque Ieboc, et filios Ammon: quia forti præsidio tenebantur termini Ammonitarum.
25 Israel took all the Amorite cities and lived in all of them, including Heshbon and all of its villages.
Tulit ergo Israel omnes civitates eius, et habitavit in urbibus Amorrhæi, in Hesebon scilicet, et viculis eius.
26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab. Sihon had taken all his land from his territory to the Arnon River.
Urbs Hesebon fuit Sehon regis Amorrhæi, qui pugnavit contra regem Moab: et tulit omnem terram, quæ ditionis illius fuerat, usque Arnon.
27 That is why those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be rebuilt and established again.
Idcirco dicitur in Proverbio: Venite in Hesebon, ædificetur, et construatur civitas Sehon:
28 A fire blazed from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon that devoured Ar of Moab, and the owners of the high places of Arnon.
Ignis egressus est de Hesebon, flamma de oppido Sehon, et devoravit Ar Moabitarum, et habitatores excelsorum Arnon.
29 Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, people of Chemosh. He has made his sons to be fugitives and his daughters to be prisoners of Sihon king of the Amorites.
Væ tibi Moab, peristi popule Chamos. Dedit filios eius in fugam, et filias in captivitatem regi Amorrhæorum Sehon.
30 But we have conquered Sihon. Heshbon is devastated all the way to Dibon. We have defeated them all the way to Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
Iugum ipsorum disperiit ad Hesebon usque Dibon, lassi pervenerunt in Nophe, et usque Medaba.
31 So Israel began to live in the Amorites' land.
Habitavit itaque Israel in Terra Amorrhæi.
32 Then Moses sent men to look at Jazer. They took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
Misitque Moyses qui explorarent Iazer: cuius ceperunt viculos, et possederunt habitatores.
33 Then they turned and went up by the road of Bashan. Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his army, to fight them at Edrei.
Verteruntque se, et ascenderunt per viam Basan, et occurrit eis Og rex Basan cum omni populo suo, pugnaturus in Edrai.
34 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Do not fear him, because I have given you victory over him, all his army, and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Ne timeas eum, quia in manu tua tradidi illum, et omnem populum, ac terram eius: faciesque illi sicut fecisti Sehon regi Amorrhæorum habitatori Hesebon.
35 So they killed him, his sons, and all his army, until none of his people were left alive. Then they took over his land.
Percusserunt igitur et hunc cum filiis suis, universumque populum eius usque ad internecionem, et possederunt terram illius.
