1A keď počul Kananej, kráľ Arádu, ktorý býval na juhu, že prišiel Izrael cestou vyzvedačov, bojoval proti Izraelovi a zajal niektorých z neho do zajatia.
1And the Canaanite — king Arad — dwelling in the south, heareth that Israel hath come the way of the Atharim, and he fighteth against Israel, and taketh [some] of them captive.
2Vtedy sľúbil Izrael Hospodinovi sľub a povedal: Ak naozaj vydáš tento ľud do mojej ruky, podvrátim ich mestá tak, že ich zarieknem na úplnú záhubu.
2And Israel voweth a vow to Jehovah, and saith, `If Thou dost certainly give this people into my hand, then I have devoted their cities;`
3A Hospodin uslyšal hlas Izraelov a vydal Kananeja, a tak ich pobil, zarieknutých na záhubu, aj ich mestá podvrátil. A nazvali meno toho miesta Chorma.
3and Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Israel, and giveth up the Canaanite, and he devoteth them and their cities, and calleth the name of the place Hormah.
4Potom sa rušali od vrchu Hora cestou k Červenému moru, aby obišli zem Edomovu, a ľud ustával v duši na ceste.
4And they journey from mount Hor, the way of the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom, and the soul of the people is short in the way,
5A ľud vravel proti Bohu a proti Mojžišovi: Prečo ste nás vyviedli hore z Egypta? Aby sme pomreli tu na púšti? Lebo niet ani chleba ani vody. A naša duša si už zošklivila ten ničomný chlieb.
5and the people speak against God, and against Moses, `Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul hath been weary of this light bread.`
6A Hospodin poslal na ľud jedovatých hadov ohnivých, ktorí štípali ľud, takže zomrelo množstvo ľudu z Izraela.
6And Jehovah sendeth among the people the burning serpents, and they bite the people, and much people of Israel die;
7Preto prišiel ľud k Mojžišovi a vraveli: Zhrešili sme, keď sme hovorili proti Hospodinovi i proti tebe. Modli sa Hospodinovi, aby odstránil od nás hada. A Mojžiš sa modlil za ľud.
7and the people come in unto Moses and say, `We have sinned, for we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, and He doth turn aside from us the serpent;` and Moses prayeth in behalf of the people.
8A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Sprav si takého ohnivého hada a vystav ho na tyč. A stane sa, že každý, kto je uštipnutý, keď ho uvidí, bude žiť.
8And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Make for thee a burning [serpent], and set it on an ensign; and it hath been, every one who is bitten and hath seen it — he hath lived.
9Vtedy spravil Mojžiš medeného hada a vystavil ho na tyč. A bolo tak, že keď uštipol had niekoho, a keď pozrel uštipnutý na medeného hada, žil.
9And Moses maketh a serpent of brass, and setteth it on the ensign, and it hath been, if the serpent hath bitten any man, and he hath looked expectingly unto the serpent of brass — he hath lived.
10Potom sa zase rušali synovia Izraelovi a rozložili sa táborom v Obóte.
10And the sons of Israel journey, and encamp in Oboth.
11Keď odišli z Obóta, rozložili sa táborom na vŕškoch Abárima, na púšti, ktorá je naproti Moábovi od východu slnca.
11And they journey from Oboth, and encamp in Ije-Abarim, in the wilderness that [is] on the front of Moab, at the rising of the sun.
12Odtiaľ sa rušali a rozložili sa táborom v doline Zárede.
12From thence they have journeyed, and encamp in the valley of Zared.
13Zase sa rušali a rozložili sa táborom na druhej strane potoka Arnona, ktorý je na púšti a vychádza od hranice Amoreja, lebo Arnon je hranicou Moába, medzi Moábom a medzi Amorejom.
13From thence they have journeyed, and encamp beyond Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness which is coming out of the border of the Amorite, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorite;
14Preto sa hovorí v knihe bojov Hospodinových: Vahéb zaujal víchricou i údolia potoka Arnona
14therefore it is said in a book, `The wars of Jehovah,` — `Waheb in Suphah, And the brooks of Arnon;
15jako i tok potokov, ktorý sa kloní k sídlu Ára, a opiera sa o hranicu Moábovu.
15And the spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the dwelling of Ar, And hath leaned to the border of Moab.`
16A odtiaľ odišli do Béri. To je tá Bér, o ktorej povedal Hospodin Mojžišovi: Sober ľud, a dám im vody.
16And from thence [they journeyed] to Beer; it [is] the well [concerning] which Jehovah said to Moses, `Gather the people, and I give to them — water.`
17Vtedy spieval Izrael túto pieseň: Vystúp, studňo! Spievajte o nej!
17Then singeth Israel this song, concerning the well — they have answered to it:
18Studňa, ktorú kopaly kniežatá, vyvrtali ju prední z ľudu, berlou, svojimi palicami! A z púšte prešli do Mattana,
18`A well — digged it have princes, Prepared it have nobles of the people, With the lawgiver, with their staves.` And from the wilderness [they journeyed] to Mattanah,
19a z Mattana do Nachaliela, a z Nachaliela do Bámot,
19and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20z Bámot do údolia, ktoré je na moábskom poli, až k temenu vrchu Pizga, ktorý hľadí na šírinu púšte.
20and from Bamoth in the valley which [is] in the field of Moab [to] the top of Pisgah, which hath looked on the front of the wilderness.
21A Izrael poslal poslov k Síchonovi, amorejskému kráľovi, a povedal:
21And Israel sendeth messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorite, saying,
22Dovoľ, prosím, aby som prešiel cez tvoju zem. Neuhneme sa na pole ani do vinice, nebudeme piť vody zo studne, pojdeme cestou kráľovou, dokiaľ neprejdeme tvojho územia.
22`Let me pass through thy land, we do not turn aside into a field, or into a vineyard, we do not drink waters of a well; in the king`s way we go, till that we pass over thy border.`
23Ale Síchon nedal Izraelovi, aby prešiel cez jeho územie, lež soberúc Síchon všetok svoj ľud vyšiel oproti Izraelovi na púšť a prijdúc do Johsy bojoval proti Izraelovi.
23And Sihon hath not suffered Israel to pass through his border, and Sihon gathereth all his people, and cometh out to meet Israel into the wilderness, and cometh in to Jahaz, and fighteth against Israel.
24A Izrael ho porazil ostrím meča a zaujal dedične jeho zem od Arnona až po Jabbok, až po zem synov Ammonových. Lebo hranica synov Ammonových bola pevná.
24And Israel smiteth him by the mouth of the sword, and possesseth his land from Arnon unto Jabbok — unto the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon [is] strong.
25A Izrael vzal všetky tie mestá a tak býval Izrael vo všetkých mestách Amoreja, v Chešbone a vo všetkých jeho dcéro-mestách.
25And Israel taketh all these cities, and Israel dwelleth in all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon, and in all its villages;
26Lebo Chešbon bolo mesto Síchona, amorejského kráľa, ktorý bojoval proti drievnejšiemu kráľovi moábskemu, a vzal celú jeho zem z jeho ruky až po Arnon.
26for Heshbon is a city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he hath fought against the former king of Moab, and taketh all his land out of his hand, unto Arnon;
27Preto povedali básnici, ktorí hovorili v prísloví: Poďte do Chešbona, nech sa vybuduje a nech sa pevne postaví mesto Síchonovo!
27therefore those using similes say — `Enter ye Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,
28Lebo oheň vyšiel z Chešbona a plameň z mesta Síchonovho a strávil Ár Moábovo, pánov výšin Arnona.
28For fire hath gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, It hath consumed Ar of Moab, Owners of the high places of Arnon.
29Beda tebe, Moábe! Zahynul si, ľude Chámošov! Dal svojich synov za ubehlíkov a svoje dcéry do zajatia, amorejskému kráľovi Síchonovi.
29Wo to thee, O Moab, Thou hast perished, O people of Chemosh, He hath given his sons who escape — Also his daughters — Into captivity, to a king of the Amorite — Sihon!
30Strieľali sme do nich. Zahynul Chešbon až po Díbon, a spustošili sme všetko až po Nófach, ktoré sahá až po Médebu.
30And we shoot them, Perished hath Heshbon unto Dibon, And we make desolate unto Nophah, Which [is] unto Medeba.`
31A tak býval Izrael v zemi Amoreja.
31And Israel dwelleth in the land of the Amorite,
32Potom poslal Mojžiš vyzvedieť Jazer, a vzali jeho dcéro-mestá. A vyhnal Amoreja, ktorý bol tam.
32and Moses sendeth to spy out Jaazer, and they capture its villages, and dispossess the Amorite who [is] there,
33A obrátiac sa išli hore cestou do Bázana. A vyšiel Óg, kráľ Bázana, proti nim, on i všetok jeho ľud, do boja v Edrei.
33and turn and go up the way of Bashan, and Og king of Bashan cometh out to meet them, he and all his people, to battle, [at] Edrei.
34A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Neboj sa ho, lebo som ho dal do tvojej ruky i všetok jeho ľud i jeho zem, a učiníš mu, jako si učinil Síchonovi, amorejskému kráľovi, ktorý býval v Chešbone.
34And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Fear him not, for into thy hand I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and thou hast done to him as thou hast done to Sihon king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon.`
35A porazili ho i jeho synov i všetok jeho ľud, takže mu nezostal nikto živý, a zaujali jeho zem dedične.
35And they smite him, and his sons, and all his people, until he hath not left to him a remnant, and they possess his land.
