Nomery 21
1 Ie jinanji’ i Arade Mpanjaka nte-Kanàne nimoneñe Atimo añe te niary mb’e Atarime mb’eo t’Israele, le nialy am’ Israele re vaho nendese’e am-bahotse ty ila’e.
When the Canaanite king of Arad who lived in the Negev heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
2 Aa le nifanta am’ Iehovà t’Israele nanao ty hoe, Naho toe hasese’o am-pità’ay ondaty rezao le fonga harotsa’ay o rova’eo.
Israel vowed a vow to YHWH, and said, "If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."
3 Nihaoñe’ Iehovà ty fiarañanaña’ Israele le nasese’e ama’e o nte-Kanàneo; fonga finongo’ iareo o rova’eo; vaho natao Kormà i taney.
YHWH listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the place was called Hormah.
4 Niavotse boak’ am-Bohi-Hore eo le nionjoñe mb’ an-dalañe migodañe mb’amy Ria-Binday mb’ eo, hiariañe i tane’ Edomey; fe nahangoae ondatio i liay.
They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 Le nañinje an’ Andrianañahare naho i Mosè ondatio ami’ ty hoe: Aa vaho akore t’ie nindesa’o niakatse i Mitsraime hivetrake am-patrambey atoy, ie tsy ama’ mahakama ndra rano naho mampangorý anay ty mofo maivañe toy.
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, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this light bread."
6 Aa le nañiraha’ Iehovà merem-boreke ty añivo’ ondatio ze nañehetse ondaty vaho maro amo ana’ Israeleo ty nifitake.
YHWH sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.
7 Aa le nimb’ amy Mosè mb’eo ondatio nanao ty hoe: Nandilatse ami’ ty nañinjea’ay azo naho Iehovà; ihalalio am’Iehovà ty hanintaha’e o mereñeo. Aa le nihalaly ho a ondatio t’i Mosè.
The people came to Moses, and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against YHWH, and against you. Pray to YHWH, that he take away the serpents from us." Moses prayed for the people.
8 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Itseneo sare merem-boreke le asampezo ami’ty bodan-katae; le ho veloñe ze hene ondaty nihehereñe, mitalahatse ama’e.
YHWH said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard: and it shall happen, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live."
9 Aa le namboare’ i Mosè an-torisìke i mereñey naho nasampe’e an-katae, aa naho nihehetse ondaty ty mereñe, ie nañente i mereñe torisìkey le niveloñe.
Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze, he lived.
10 Nionjoñe amy zao o ana’ Israeleo le nitobe e Obote.
The children of Israel traveled, and camped in Oboth.
11 Niavota’ iareo ty Obote vaho nitobe e Iai’haabarime, am-patrambey atiñana’ i Moabe mb’ am-panjirihan’ andro mb’eo.
They traveled from Oboth, and camped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
12 Nionjoñe boak’ ao iereo le nitobe am-Bavatane’ i Zerede ao.
From there they traveled, and camped in the Valley of Zered.
13 Hirik’ ao iereo niavotse vaho nitobe alafe’ i Arnone amy fatrambey mifototse an-tane’ o nte-Emoreoy; amy te efe-tane’ i Moabe i Arnoney, mañefetse i Moabe amo nte-Emoreo.
From there they traveled, and camped 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.
14 Izay ty nanoeñe amo Boke’ o Ali’ Iehovàoo ty hoe: Oahebe e Sofà, o toraha’ i Arnoneo,
Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of YHWH, "Waheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
15 naho ty teva’ o torahañeo ze mivariñe mb’an toe’ i Are, naho miefetse amy Moabe.
the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab."
16 Ie hirik’ ao nimb’e Bire mb’eo, i vovoñe nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosèy ty hoe, Atontono ondatio hanjotsoako rano.
From there they traveled to Beer: that is the well of which YHWH said to Moses, "Gather the people together, and I will give them water."
17 Le hoe ty nisaboe’ Israele: Mivoaña ry vovoñeo, isabo!
Then sang Israel this song: "Spring up, well; sing to it:
18 ty vovo nalente’ o talèo, hinali’ ty roandria’ ondatio, an-kobaiñe, an-tsara’ i Mpandily. Ie boak’am-patrambey ao le nañavelo pak’e Matanà,
the well, which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter, and with their staffs." From the wilderness they traveled to Mattanah;
19 le boake Matanà mbe Mahaliele mb’eo, le hirike Mahaliele mb’e Bamote mb’eo,
and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
20 vaho boake Bamote am-bavatane’ i Moabe mb’ an-dengo’ i Pisgà mitolike mb’amy ratraratray añe.
and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
21 Le nañitrike mb’amy Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Emoreo t’Israele, nanao ty hoe:
Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Adono hiranga ty tane’o zahay. Tsy hivìke mb’ an-teteke ndra mb’ an-tane-bahe; tsy hikama rano am-bovoñe. Hañorike i Karanangam-Panjakay avao ampara’ te losore’ay ty efe-tane’o.
"Let me pass through your land: we will not turn aside into field, or into 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."
23 F’ie tsy napo’ i Sihone hiranga i efe’ey. Aa le natonto’ i Sihone ondati’e iabio vaho niavotse haname Israele am-patram-bey ey, le nivotrake e Iàhatse re naialy am’ Israele.
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; and he fought against Israel.
24 Zinevo’ Israele an-delam-pibara vaho tinava’e i tane’ey boak’ amy Arnoney pak’ ami’ ty Iaboke naho pak’ amo nte-Amoneo amy te fatratse ty efe-tane’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the people of Ammon; for the border of the people of Ammon was strong.
25 Aa le fonga rinambe’ Israele o rova’eo vaho songa nimoneña’ Israele o rova’ o nte-Emoreo, e Khesbone naho o hene ana-drova’eo.
Israel took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its towns.
26 Nirova’ i Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Emoreo ty Khesbone; niazo’e te nialy amy mpanjaka’ i Moabey taoloy vaho fonga rinambe’e i tane’e pak’amy Arnoney.
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.
27 Aa le hoe ty onin-tsaontsin-droae: Antao mb’e Khesbone mb’eo, hamboatse naho hañafatratse ty rova’ i Sihone
Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
28 Fa niakatse i Kesobone ty afo, lel’ afo boak’ an-drova’ i Sihone, nagodra’e i Are’ i Moabey o talen-kaboa’ i Arnoneo.
for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, swallowed up the high places of the Arnon.
29 Hekoheko ama’o ry Moabe, Rinotsake nahareo nte-Kemose: napo’e ho gike o ana-dahi’eo, naho o anak’ampela’eo ho mpirohi’ i Sihone, mpanjaka’ i Emorey.
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.
30 Linihi’ay ambane iereo: Nihomake t’i Khesbone pak’e Dibone, le natsafe’ay pak’e Nofà, naho pak’e Medebà.
And we shot at them. Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. And we have laid waste as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba."
31 Aa le nimoneñe an-tane’ Emore ao t’Israele.
Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
32 Nampihitrife’ i Mosè ty hitingañe Ia’azere le rinambe’e o tanà’eo vaho nanoe’e soike ze nte-Emore tao.
Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its towns, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
33 Nitsile iereo, nañavelo an-dalañe mb’e Basane mb’eo; le niavotse hifanalaka am’iareo t’i Oge mpanjaka’ i Basane rekets’ ondati’e iabio, hañotakotake e Edrey.
They turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
34 Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ko ihembaña’o, fa natoloko am-pità’o rekets’ ondati’e iabio naho i tane’ey. Ano ama’e hambañe amy nanoa’o amy Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Emore nimpifehe’ i Khesboneoy.
YHWH said to Moses, "Do not fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."
35 Aa le zinevo’ iareo naho o ana-dahi’eo naho ondati’eo, ampara t’ie tsy aman-tsengaha’e vaho rinambe’iereo i tane’ey.
So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
