1The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
1 Kanaanance fo, Arad bonkoono, kaŋ goono ga goro Negeb* haray maa baaru kaŋ Israyla go fonda ra ga kaa Atarim haray. A binde na Israyla wongu k'i ra boro fooyaŋ di ka kond'ey.
2Israel vowed a vow to Yahweh, and said, “If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.”
2 Kala Israyla na sarti sambu Rabbi jine ka ne: «Hala day ni na borey wo daŋ ay kambe ra, kulu ay mo g'i kwaarey tuusu k'i halaci.»
3Yahweh 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.
3 Rabbi maa Israyla jinda se mo ka Kanaanancey daŋ a kambe ra. Nga mo n'i tuusu, pat! ngey nd'i kwaarey. I na nango din maa daŋ Horma, _kaŋ a feerijo ga ti kurmu|_.
4They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds , to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
4 I tun Hor tondo jarga ka dira ka koy Teeku Cira fonda boŋ hal i na Edom laabo windi. Kala jama suuro gaze fonda sabbay se.
5The 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.”
5 Jama binde na Rabbi jance, nga nda Musa. I goono ga ne: «Ifo se no ni na iri fattandi iri ma fun Misira hal iri ma bu ne ganjo wo ra? Zama hawru si no, hari kaŋ ga haŋ mo si no. Woodin banda mo, iri biney ga ŋwaari yaamo wo fanta.»
6Yahweh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.
6 Woodin sabbay se no Rabbi na gondiyaŋ kaŋ ga futu samba borey game ra. I na boroyaŋ nama hal iboobo bu Israyla ra.
7The 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.
7 Kala jama ye Musa do ka ne: «Iri na zunubi te, za kaŋ iri na Rabbi jance, hala nda nin. Day, ni ma Rabbi ŋwaaray a ma gondey ganandi ka kaa iri game ra.» Musa mo ŋwaaray jama se.
8Yahweh 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.”
8 Rabbi tu Musa se ka ne: «Ni ma gondi futo himandi fo te k'a sarku beene bundu fo gaa. A ga ciya mo, boro kulu kaŋ gondi nama, bora na haya din guna, kulu bora ga funa.»
9Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of brass, he lived.
9 Musa binde na gondi alhaali te da guuru-say, k'a sarku beene bundu gaa. A ciya mo, da gondi na boro fo nama, d'a na mo sinji guuru-say gondi alhaalo do haray, kulu bora ga funa.
10The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in Oboth.
10 Israyla izey ye ka dira ka koy zumbu Obot.
11They traveled from Oboth, and encamped at Iyeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
11 I tun Obot ka koy zumbu Iye-Abarim nangu fo kaŋ go ganjo ra Mowab laabo jine, wayna funay haray.
12From there they traveled, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
12 I tun noodin ka dira ka koy zumbu Zered gooro ra.
13From 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.
13 I dira noodin mo, ka koy zumbu Arnon gooro se ya-haray jabo gaa. Arnon gooro wo ganjo ra no a go, a ga kaa ka fun Amorancey hirro gaa. Zama Arnon ga ti Mowab laabo hirro, sanda a go Mowabancey da Amorancey game ra nooya.
14Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Yahweh, “Vaheb in Suphah, the valleys of the Arnon,
14 A se no i hantum Rabbi Wongey Tira ra ka ne: «Baheb kwaara kaŋ go Sufa haray, nga nda Arnon goorey;
15the slope of the valleys that incline toward the dwelling of Ar, leans on the border of Moab.”
15 Nango kaŋ goorey goono ga gangare kaŋ yaŋ do Ara kwaara do haray, kaŋ yaŋ ga lamba Mowab hirro me gaa mo.»
16From 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.”
16 I tun noodin ka dira ka koy to Beyer (sanda Day nooya.) Dayo din ga ti wo kaŋ boŋ Rabbi ne Musa se: «Ma jama margu hal ay m'i no hari.»
17Then sang Israel this song: “Spring up, well; sing to it:
17 Waato din no Israyla izey na dooni woone te, ka ne: «Ya dayo, ma zotti! Araŋ ma doon a se!
18the 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;
18 Day no kaŋ jine borey fansi, kaŋ marga jine borey fansi. I n'a fansi nda sarjilla. I na fansi nda ngey goobey.» I dira za ganji woone gaa ka koy to Mattana.
19and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
19 Mattana banda i koy to Nahaliyel. Nahaliyel banda i koy to Bamot.
20and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
20 Bamot banda i koy ka to gooro kaŋ go Mowab laabo ra, Pisga tondo cire, naŋ kaŋ ga guna saaji bambata do haray.
21Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
21 Israyla na diya fooyaŋ donton Amorancey bonkoono Sihon do. I ne:
22“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.”
22 «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma yadda ay ma gana ka bisa ni laabo ra. Iri si kamba ka koy fari fo ra wala reyzin kali ra. Iri si dayey hari haŋ mo. Bonkoono fondo beero day no iri ga gana, kal iri ma bisa araŋ ya-haray hirro gaa.»
23Sihon 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.
23 Amma Sihon wangu ka naŋ Israyla ma nga hirro daaru. A na nga soojey kulu margu ka fatta ka kande wongu marga Israyla gaa. A fatta mo ka kaa hala ganjo ra Yahaz batama ra. Noodin no a wongu nda Israyla.
24Israel 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 strong.
24 Israyla n'a kar da takuba k'a laabo ŋwa za Arnon gooro gaa kal a koy to Yabok gooro gaa, danga Amonancey hirro nooya. Amonancey hirro gonda gaabi gumo.
25Israel took all these cities: and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its towns.
25 Yaadin no Israyla na kwaarey wo kulu di d'a ka goro Amorancey kwaarey kulu ra, Hesbon kwaara d'a kawyey kulu nooya.
26For 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.
26 Zama Hesbon no ga ti Amorancey bonkoono Sihon birno. Nga no ka koy ka wongu nda Mowab laabu doŋ bonkoono, k'a laabo kulu ŋwa hal a koy ka to Arnon gooro gaa.
27Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, “Come to Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be built and established;
27 A se no jasarey ga ne: «Wa kaa Hesbon! I ma Sihon birno sinji k'a cina.
28for 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.
28 Zama danji fatta ka fun Hesbon, danji beele fo zotti ka fun Sihon birno ra. A na Ara kwaara ŋwa Mowab laabo ra, a na tudey boŋ gorokoy ŋwa, Arnon gooro ra waney.
29Woe 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.
29 Kaari nin, ya Mowab! Ya Kemos ganakoy, araŋ halaci, a naŋ nga ize arey ma ciya zurante yaŋ, a ize wayey mo ma koy tamtaray, sanda Amorancey bonkoono Sihon kambe ra nooya.
30We have shot at them. Heshbon has perished even to Dibon. We have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.”
30 Iri n'i hay da hangawyaŋ. Hesbon halaci mo hal a koy to Dibon. Iri na laabo ŋwa ka koy hala Nofa, kaŋ hirro ga ti Medeba.»
31Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
31 Yaadin cine no Israyla goro nd'a Amorancey laabo ra.
32Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its towns, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
32 Waato din gaa Musa donton ka ne i ma Yazer kwaara guna. I n'a kawyey di ka Amorancey kaŋ go noodin gaaray.
33They 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.
33 Waato din gaa no i bare ka gana fonda kaŋ ga ziji Basan haray. Basan bonkoono Ogo mo fatta i gaa, nga nda nga soojey kulu ka kand'i gaa tangami, Edrey kwaara haray.
34Yahweh said to Moses, “Don’t 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.”
34 Kala Rabbi ne Musa se: «Ma si humbur'a, zama ay n'a daŋ ni kambe ra, nga nda nga borey d'a laabo kulu. Ni ma te a se mate kaŋ cine ni jin ka te Amorancey bonkoono Sihon se, nga kaŋ goro Hesbon kwaara ra doŋ.»
35So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
35 I na Og mo wi, nga nda nga izey d'a borey kulu, kala baa afo mana cindi a se. Israyla izey mo n'a laabo ŋwa.
