Nomipā 21
1When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negeb, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
1PEA ʻi he fanongo ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAlati, ko e Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he potu tonga, kuo haʻu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he hala ʻoe kau mataki; naʻa ne tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ʻave ʻae niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻo fakapōpulaʻi.
2And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD and said, “If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction.”
2Pea naʻe fuakava ʻaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae fuakava kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke tuku mai ʻae kakai ni ki hoku nima, te u toki fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻa honau ngaahi kolo.”
3And the LORD heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites, and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. So the name of the place was called Hormah.
3Pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe tuku atu ʻae kau Kēnani; pea naʻa nau fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu mo honau ngaahi kolo: pea naʻa ne fakahingoa ʻae potu ko ia ko Hoama.
4From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way.
4Pea naʻa nau fononga mei he moʻunga ko Hoa ʻi he hala ʻi he Tahi Kulokula, ke kāpui ʻae fonua ko ʻItomi: pea naʻe vaivai ʻaupito ʻae loto ʻoe kakai koeʻuhi ko e hala.
5And 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 food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food.”
5Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kakai ki he ʻOtua, pea mo Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo mo ʻomi ai ʻakimautolu mei ʻIsipite ke mau mate ʻi he toafa ni? He ʻoku ʻikai ha mā, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha vai; pea ʻoku mau fehiʻa ki he mā pahapahangi ni.”
6Then the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.
6Pea naʻe tuku mai ʻe Sihova ʻae fanga ngata fakavela ki he kakai, pea naʻa nau ʻuusi ʻae kakai; pea naʻe mate ai ʻae kakai tokolahi.
7And the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
7Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kakai kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mau angahala he kuo mau lāunga kia Sihova, pea mo koe; ke ke lotu kia Sihova, ke ne ʻave ʻae fanga ngata ni ʻiate kimautolu. Pea naʻe hūfia ʻe Mōsese ʻae kakai.”
8And the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”
8Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē, Ke ke ngaohi maʻau ha ngata fakavela, ʻo ʻai ia ki ha ʻakau: pea ʻe pehē, ko ia kuo ʻūsia, ʻoka sio ia ki ai, ʻe moʻui ai ia.
9So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
9Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngata palasa ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he ʻakau, pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau kuo ʻūsia ha tangata ʻe ha ngata, pea sio ia ki he ngata palasa, naʻe moʻui ia.
10And the people of Israel set out and camped in Oboth.
10Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo nofo ʻi ʻOpoti.
11And they set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness that is opposite Moab, toward the sunrise.
11Pea naʻa nau fononga mei ʻOpoti, ʻo nofo ʻi ʻIsi-ʻEpalemi, ʻi he toafa ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngataʻanga fonua ʻo Moape, ki he hopoʻanga ʻoe laʻā.
12From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered.
12Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai ʻo nofo ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Seleti.
13From there they set out and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites, for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
13Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai, ʻo nofo ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻo ʻAlanoni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he toafa ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli: he ko ʻAlanoni ʻoku tuʻu ia ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Moape, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Moape mo e kau ʻAmoli.
14Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD, “Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,
14Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tau ʻa Sihova, “Mei Vaepa mo Sufa, pea mo e ngaahi vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni,
15and the slope of the valleys that extends to the seat of Ar, and leans to the border of Moab.”
15Pea mo e manga ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe ʻaia ʻoku tafe ki lalo ki he nofoʻanga ʻo ʻAla pea ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo Moape.”
16And from there they continued to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, “Gather the people together, so that I may give them water.”
16Pea naʻa nau hiki mei ai ki Piea ko e vai keli ia naʻe folofola ai ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Fakataha ʻae kakai, pea te u foaki ʻae vai kiate kinautolu.”
17Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well!—Sing to it!—
17Pea naʻe hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva ni ʻe ʻIsileli, “Tupu hake, ʻe vai keli ē; mou hiva ki ai:
18the well that the princes made, that the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter and with their staffs.” And from the wilderness they went on to Mattanah,
18Naʻe keli ʻae vai ʻe he houʻeiki mo e kau matāpule ʻoe kakai, ʻaki ʻa honau ngaahi tokotoko, ʻi he enginaki ʻo ia naʻe fai fono.” Pea naʻa nau hiki mei he toafa ki Matana.
19and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
19Pea mei Matana ki Neʻelili: pea mei Neʻelili ki Pamoti:
20and from Bamoth to the valley lying in the region of Moab by the top of Pisgah that looks down on the desert.
20Pea mei Pamoti ki he vahaʻa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ʻo Moape, ki he tumutumu ʻo Pisika, ʻaia ʻoku hanga atu ki Sesimoni.
21Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
21Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae kau talafekau kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻo pehē,
22“Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into field or vineyard. We will not drink the water of a well. We will go by the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.”
22“Tuku ke u ʻalu atu ʻi ho fonua: ʻe ʻikai te mau afe ki he ngoue, pe ki he ngoue vaine; ʻe ʻikai te mau inu ʻae vai ʻoe vai keli: ka te mau ʻalu ʻi he hala motuʻa ʻoe tuʻi, kaeʻoua ke mau tuku kimui ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ho fonua.”
23But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his people together and went out against Israel to the wilderness and came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.
23Pea naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Sihoni ke fononga atu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hono fonua: ka naʻe fakataha ʻe Sihoni ʻa hono kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ki ʻIsileli ʻi he toafa: pea naʻa ne haʻu ki Sehasi, ʻo tau ki ʻIsileli.
24And Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strong.
24Pea naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, pea naʻa nau maʻu hono fonua mei ʻAlanoni ki Sakopi, ʻo aʻu ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni: he naʻe mālohi ʻae ngataʻanga fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
25And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
25Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi kolo ni kotoa pē: pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻi Hesiponi, pea mo hono potu kakai kotoa pē.
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, as far as the Arnon.
26He ko Hesiponi ko e kolo ia ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe tau ki he tuʻi ʻe taha ʻo Moape, ʻo ne maʻu mei hono nima ʻa hono fonua kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki ʻAlanoni.
27Therefore the ballad singers say, “Come to Heshbon, let it be built; let the city of Sihon be established.
27Pea ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku faʻa lea ʻi he lea fakatātā, “Haʻu ki Hesiponi, langaʻi hake mo teuteu ʻae kolo ʻo Sihoni.
28For fire came out from Heshbon, flame from the city of Sihon. It devoured Ar of Moab, and swallowed the heights of the Arnon.
28He kuo ʻalu atu ʻae afi ʻi Hesiponi, ʻae ulo afi mei he kolo ʻo Sihoni: kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻAla ʻi Moape, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo ʻAlanoni.
29Woe to you, O Moab! You are undone, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives, and his daughters captives, to an Amorite king, Sihon.
29ʻOku malaʻia ʻa ko e Moape! Kuo ke ʻauha, ʻE kakai ʻo Kimosi: kuo foaki ʻe ia ʻa hono ngaahi foha, mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine kuo hao, ke pōpula kia Sihoni, ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli.
30So we overthrew them; Heshbon, as far as Dibon, perished; and we laid waste as far as Nophah; fire spread as far as Medeba.”
30Naʻa mau fanaʻi ʻakinautolu; kuo ʻauha ʻa Hesiponi ʻo aʻu ki Tiponi, pea kuo mau fakalala ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki Nofa, ʻaia ʻoku aʻu ki Metipa.”
31Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
31Pea naʻe pehē ʻae nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau ʻAmoli.
32And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
32Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ke matakiʻi ʻa Sesa, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa hono ngaahi potu kakai, pea naʻa nau kapusi kituʻa ʻae kau ʻAmoli naʻe ʻi ai.
33Then they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
33Pea naʻa nau foki ʻo ʻalu hake ʻi he hala ʻo Pesani: pea ko Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani naʻe ʻalu atu ia kiate kinautolu, ʻa ia, pea mo hono kakai, ki he tau ʻi ʻEtilei.
34But the LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have given 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.”
34Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia: he kuo u tuku ia ki ho nima, mo hono kakai kotoa pē, mo hono fonua; pea te ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fai kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesiponi.”
35So they defeated him and his sons and all his people, until he had no survivor left. And they possessed his land.
35Pea ko ia, naʻa nau taaʻi ia, mo hono ngaahi foha, pea mo hono kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ha taha moʻui kiate ia: pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa hono fonua.
