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 Chananeus rex Arad qui habitabat ad meridiem venisse scilicet Israhel per exploratorum viam pugnavit contra illum et victor existens duxit ex eo praedam
2 Israel vowed to Yahweh and said, “If you give us victory over these people, then we will completely destroy their cities.”
at Israhel 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 Israhel et tradidit Chananeum 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 Or per viam quae ducit ad mare Rubrum ut circumirent terram Edom et taedere coepit 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 Mosen ait cur eduxisti nos de Aegypto ut moreremur in solitudine deest panis non sunt aquae anima nostra iam nausiat super cibo isto levissimo
6 Then Yahweh sent poisonous snakes among the people. The snakes bit the people; many people died.
quam ob rem 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 Mosen atque dixerunt peccavimus quia locuti sumus contra Dominum et te ora ut tollat a nobis serpentes oravit Moses 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 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 Moses serpentem aeneum et posuit pro signo quem cum percussi aspicerent sanabantur
10 Then the people of Israel traveled on and camped at Oboth.
profectique filii Israhel 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 Hieabarim in solitudine quae 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 quae est in deserto et prominet in finibus Amorrei siquidem Arnon terminus est Moab dividens Moabitas et Amorreos
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 Mosen congrega populum et dabo ei aquam
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing about it,
tunc cecinit Israhel 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 Nahalihel de Nahalihel 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 et quod respicit contra desertum
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites saying,
misit autem Israhel nuntios ad Seon regem Amorreorum 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 Israhel 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 Iebboc et filios Ammon quia forti praesidio tenebantur termini Ammanitarum
25 Israel took all the Amorite cities and lived in all of them, including Heshbon and all of its villages.
tulit ergo Israhel omnes civitates eius et habitavit in urbibus Amorrei in Esebon 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 Esebon fuit regis Seon Amorrei qui pugnavit contra regem Moab et tulit omnem terram quae dicionis 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 Esebon aedificetur et construatur civitas Seon
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 Esebon flamma de oppido Seon 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.
vae tibi Moab peristi popule Chamos dedit filios eius in fugam et filias in captivitatem regi Amorreorum Seon
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 ab Esebon usque Dibon lassi pervenerunt in Nophe et usque Medaba
31 So Israel began to live in the Amorites' land.
habitavit itaque Israhel in terra Amorrei
32 Then Moses sent men to look at Jazer. They took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.
misitque Moses 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 Mosen ne timeas eum quia in manu tua tradidi illum et omnem populum ac terram eius faciesque illi sicut fecisti Seon regi Amorreorum habitatori Esebon
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 internicionem et possederunt terram illius
