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.
Wa lavil Arad la, nan rejyon Negèv la, te yon moun peyi Kanaran. Lè li vin tande moun pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap vini sou chemen ki mennen Atarim lan, l' al atake yo. Li fè kèk ladan yo prizonye.
2 Israel vowed a vow to Yahweh, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
Lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè yon ve bay Seyè a, yo di konsa: -Si ou lage moun sa yo nan men nou, n'ap mete yo tout apa pou ou ansanm ak tout lavil yo. N'ap detwi yo nèt.
3 Yahweh 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.
Seyè a tande sa yo te mande l' la, epi li ede yo, li fè yo mete men sou moun Kanaran yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo disparèt tout moun yo ansanm ak tout lavil yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Oma.
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.
Moun Izrayèl yo pati, yo kite mòn Or la, yo pran wout ki mennen bò Lanmè Wouj la, pou yo pa pase nan peyi Edon an. Men, antan y'ap vwayaje a, pèp la vin dekouraje.
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!”
Pèp la pale Bondye ansanm ak Moyiz mal, yo leve dèyè yo, yo di konsa: -Poukisa nou fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la? Gen lè se pou fè nou vin mouri nan dezè sa a kote ki pa gen ni manje ni dlo. Nou bouke manje vye manje sa a ki pa ka fè anyen pou nou ankò.
6 Yahweh sent venomous snakes among the people, and they bit the people. Many people of Israel died.
Lè sa a, Seyè a voye yon bann ti sèpan sou pèp la. Kote sèpan sa yo mòde ou la boule kou dife. Yo mòde pèp la. Anpil moun te mouri.
7 The people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yahweh and against you. Pray to Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us.” Moses prayed for the people.
Pèp la vin jwenn Moyiz, yo di l' konsa: -Nou rekonèt nou fè sa ki mal lè nou pale kont Seyè a ak kont ou menm tou. Tanpri, lapriyè Seyè a pou nou pou l' fè sèpan sa yo ale. Moyiz lapriyè pou pèp la vre.
8 Yahweh 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.”
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Fè pòtre yon sèpan parèy ak sèpan sa yo. Mete l' sou yon poto byen wo. Konsa, depi yon sèpan mòde yon moun, moun lan va annik gade pòtre sèpan an, epi li p'ap mouri.
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.
Moyiz pran kwiv, li fonn li, li fè yon sèpan parèy ak sèpan yo. Lèfini, li mete l' sou yon poto byen wo. Tout moun sèpan mòde, depi yo voye je yo gade sèpan an kwiv la, yo pa mouri.
10 The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pati, y' al moute kan yo nan fon Obòt la.
11 They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
Apre sa, yo kite fon Obòt, y' al moute kan yo bò mazi Abarim yo nan dezè ki sou bò lès peyi Moab la.
12 From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
Apre sa ankò, yo kite kote yo te ye a, y' al moute kan yo nan ravin Zerèd.
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.
Lè yo kite ravin Zerèd, y' al moute kan yo lòt bò larivyè Anon nan dezè ki rive jouk nan teritwa moun Amori yo. Rivyè Anon sa a te sèvi fwontyè ant peyi Moab ak peyi Amori a.
14 Therefore it is said in The Book of the Wars of Yahweh, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
Se poutèt sa, nan liv istwa ki rakonte batay Seyè a, nou jwenn yo pale sou lavil Vayèb, nan peyi Soufa a, ak ravin li yo, sou rivyè Anon
15 the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”
avèk fon lavalas li yo, ki desann bò lavil Amoab la nan direksyon fwontyè peyi Moab la.
16 From there they traveled to Beer; that is the well of which Yahweh said to Moses, “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”
Apre sa, yo kite kote yo te ye a, y' al yon kote yo rele Beyè. Se la Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz, lè li te di l': Reyini tout pèp la. Mwen pral ba yo dlo.
17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, well! Sing to it,
Lè sa a, moun Izrayèl yo pran chante chante sa a: Pi a bay dlo! Annou chante pou sa!
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;
Pi chèf yo te fouye Avèk baton kòmandan yo! Pi grannèg yo te fouye Avèk baton yo sèvi lè y'ap mache a! Apre sa, yo kite dezè a, y' al moute kan yo Matana.
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
Lè yo kite Matana, y' ale Nakalyèl. Lè yo kite Nakalyèl, yo moute Bannòt.
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.
Lè yo kite Bannòt, y' ale nan fon ki nan peyi Moab la, jouk sou tèt mòn Pisga, kote y'ap gade tout dezè a nan pye yo.
21 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo voye mesaje bò kote Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, pou di l' konsa:
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.”
-Kite nou pase ase nan mitan peyi ou la! Nou p'ap kite wout nou pou pase nan mitan jaden ou, ni nan mitan pye rezen ou yo. Ata bwè nou p'ap bwè dlo nan pi ou yo. N'ap rete sou gran chemen ou va moutre nou an, jouk n'a fin travèse lòt bò peyi ou la.
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.
Men, Siyon pa t' vle kite pèp Izrayèl la pase sou tè li yo. Li leve tout pèp l' a, li mache sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, l' al kontre ak yo yon kote nan dezè a yo rele Jaza, l' atake yo.
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.
Men, moun Izrayèl yo touye anpil ladan yo nan batay la, yo pran tout peyi a nan men yo, depi larivyè Anon nan sid rive larivyè Jabòk nan nò, toupre fwontyè peyi Amon an, ki te yon fwontyè byen gade.
25 Israel took all these cities. Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
Se konsa, moun Izrayèl yo pran tout lavil moun Amori yo, depi Esbon, kapital la ak lòt ti bouk nan vwazinaj li ki te sou kont li, epi yo rete ladan yo tout.
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.
Lavil Esbon te kapital peyi a. Se la Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, te rete. Se menm Siyon sa a ki te goumen kont ansyen wa peyi Moab la epi ki te pran tout peyi a pou li jouk larivyè Anon.
27 Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
Se poutèt sa sanba yo di: -Ann ale Esbon! Ann al bati l' ankò! Ann al mete lavil wa Siyon an kanpe sou de pye l' ankò!
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.
Paske yon sèl dife te soti lavil Esbon, Wi, lame wa Siyon an derape tankou yon flanm dife, li boule lavil A Moab. Li devore tout chèf ki rete sou mòn Anon an.
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.
Sa pral rèd nèt pou nou, moun peyi Moab! Nou pèdi nèt, nou menm sèvitè Kemòch! Bondye nou an fè pitit gason nou yo kouri al kache. Li kite pitit fi nou yo tounen prizonye nan men Siyon, wa peyi Amori a.
30 We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
Men koulye a, se moun lavil Esbon yo ki pèdi nèt fwa sa a! Nou mete kou sou yo depi lavil Esbon rive Dibon! Nou devaste peyi a kite l' blanch jouk Nofak, toupre Medeba.
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin rete nan peyi Amori a.
32 Moses sent to spy out Jazer. They took its villages, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
Moyiz menm voye kèk moun wè ki jan sa ye nan lavil Jazè. Apre sa, moun Izrayèl yo mache pran lavil la ak lòt ti bouk ki nan vwazinaj li. Kote yo pase, yo mete moun Amori yo deyò lakay yo.
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.
Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo tounen sou wout yo, yo pran chemen ki mennen lavil Bazan. Epi Og, wa lavil Bazan an, leve tout pèp l' a, li vin kontre ak yo pou l' atake yo bò Edreyi.
34 Yahweh said to Moses, “Don’t 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.”
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè msye! M'ap fè nou kraze l' anba pye nou, li menm ansanm ak tout pèp l' a. M'ap fè nou pran peyi l' la pou nou. Nou pral fè l' pase sa nou te fè Siyon, wa peyi Amori ki te rete Esbon an, pase.
35 So they struck him, with his sons and all his people, until there were no survivors; and they possessed his land.
Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo touye Og, ansanm ak pitit gason l' yo ak tout pèp l' a. Yo pa kite yonn chape, yo pran tout peyi a pou yo.
