Baabbi'intii Boqor Caraad

21 Oo boqorkii Caraad, oo reer Kancaan, oo xagga koonfureed degganaa ayaa maqlay in reer binu Israa'iil ka yimaadeen xagga jidka Ataariim, markaasuu la diriray reer binu Israa'iil oo qaarkood qabsaday. Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil Rabbiga nidar u nidreen oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Hubaal haddaad dadkan gacantayada soo gelisid markaas magaalooyinkooda oo dhan waannu wada baabbi'inaynaa. Oo Rabbigu wuu dhegaystay codkii reer binu Israa'iil, oo gacantooda buu soo geliyey reer Kancaan, oo iyana iyagii iyo magaalooyinkoodiiba way wada baabbi'iyeen, oo meeshaas magaceediina waxaa loo bixiyey Xormaah.

Maskii Naxaasta Ahaa

Oo Buur Xor waxay uga guureen xagga jidka loo maro Badda Cas inay hareer ka maraan dalka reer Edom. Markaasay dadku aad u qalbi jabeen jidkii daraaddiis. Oo dadkii waxay ku hadleen wax ka gees ah Ilaah iyo Muuseba, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, War dalkii Masar maxaad nooga soo bixiseen si aannu cidladan ugu dhimanno? Waayo, kibis ma jirto, biyona ma jiraan, oo naftayaduna kibistan khafiifka ah way ku yaqyaqsataa. Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu dadka dhexdiisii ku soo daayay abeesooyin qaniinyo kulul oo ay dadkii qanqaniineen, oo dad badan oo reer binu Israa'iil ah ayaa dhintay. Markaasay dadkii Muuse u yimaadeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu waannu dembaabnay, maxaa yeelay, waxaannu ku hadalnay wax ka gees ah Rabbiga iyo adiga, haddaba Rabbiga noo bari inuu abeesooyinka naga fogeeyo. Markaasaa Muuse dadkii u baryay Rabbiga. Oo Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Abeeso samee, oo tiircalan kor saar, oo mid kasta oo la qaniinoba, markuu arko wuu noolaanayaa. Oo Muuse baa abeeso naxaas ah sameeyey oo wuxuu kor saaray tiirkii calanka, oo haddii abeeso qof qaniinto oo qofku soo eego abeesadii naxaasta ahayd wuu noolaan jiray.

U Guuriddii Moo'aab

10 Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil soo guureen, oo waxay degeen Obod. 11 Oo Obodna way ka guureen, oo waxay degeen Ciyee Hacabaariim oo cidlada ku dhex taal oo ah Moo'aab horteeda oo xagga qorrax ka soo baxa ah. 12 Oo halkaasna way ka guureen, oo waxay degeen dooxadii Sered, 13 Halkaasna way ka guureen, oo waxay deggeen Webi Arnoon dhankiisa kale, kaasoo cidlada ku yaal oo soohdinta reer Amor ka soo baxa, waayo, Webi Arnoon waa soohdinta reer Moo'aab oo wuxuu u dhexeeyaa reer Moo'aab iyo reer Amor. 14 Haddaba kitaabkii dagaalladii Rabbiga waxaa ku qoran,

Waaheeb oo Suufaah ku taal,
Iyo dooxooyinka Arnoon,
15 Iyo dhaadhaca dooxooyinka
Oo u dadban xagga rugta Caar,
Oo u dhow soohdinta reer Moo'aab.

16 Oo halkaasna waxay uga guureen xagga Bi'ir, kaasoo ah ceelkii Rabbigu Muuse kaga yidhi, Dadka oo dhan soo ururi, oo anna biyo waan siinayaa.

17 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil gabaygan ku gabyeen,
Ceel yahow, soo durdur. War idinku u gabya
18 Ceelkii ay amiirradii qodeen,
Oo ay dadkii gobta ahu ku qodeen
Ushii dowladnimada iyo ulahoodii.

Oo cidladiina waxay uga guureen xagga Mataanaah. 19 Oo Mataanaahna waxay uga guureen xagga Naxalii'eel; Naxalii'eelna waxay uga guureen xagga Baamood. 20 Oo Baamoodna waxay uga guureen xagga dooxadii ku taal bannaanka Moo'aab, iyo Buur Fisgaah dhaladeeda oo cidlada hoos u soo fiirisa.

Boqor Siixon Iyo Boqor Coog Oo Laga Adkaaday

21 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil wargeeyayaal u direen Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii reer Amor, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, 22 Na daa aan dalkaaga dhex marnee. Annagu gees ugu leexan mayno berrin ama beercanab, oo ceelashana biyo ka cabbi mayno. Waxaannu iska maraynaa boqorka waddadiisa jeeraannu soohdintaada ka baxno. 23 Siixonse uma uu oggolaan in reer binu Israa'iil soohdintiisa soo dhex maraan; laakiinse Siixon dadkiisii oo dhan ayuu soo urursaday oo ku soo baxay reer binu Israa'iil oo cidlada jooga, oo wuxuu yimid Yahas, oo uu reer binu Israa'iil la diriray. 24 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil seef ku dileen, oo waxay qabsadeen dalkiisii tan iyo Arnoon iyo ilaa Yabboq, iyo xataa tan iyo reer Cammoon, waayo, soohdintii reer Cammoon wuu xoog badnaa. 25 Oo reer binu Israa'iil magaalooyinkan oo dhan ayay qabsadeen, oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay degeen magaalooyinkii reer Amor oo dhan, xataa Xeshboon iyo magaalooyinkeedii oo dhan. 26 Waayo, Xeshboon waxay ahayd magaaladii Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii reer Amor, oo la diriray boqorkii hore oo reer Moo'aab, oo dalkiisii oo dhan ka qabsaday, xataa tan iyo Arnoon. 27 Oo sidaas daraaddeed kuwa maahmaahyo ku hadlaa waxay yidhaahdaan,

War Xeshboon kaalaya,
Magaaladii Siixon ha la dhiso oo ha la xoojiyo,
28 Waayo, dab baa ka soo baxay Xeshboon,
Taasoo ah magaaladii Siixon oo olol ka soo baxay.
Wuxuu baabbi'iyey Caartii reer Moo'aab,
Iyo sayidyadii meelaha sare oo Arnoon.
29 Moo'aabay, waa kuu hoog!
Waad baabba'day, dadka reer Khemooshow.
Wiilashiisii wuxuu u sii daayay sida laajiyo,
Gabdhihiisiina wuxuu maxaabiis ahaan ugu sii daayay
Boqorka reer Amor oo Siixon ahaa.
30 Iyaga waannu toogannay; oo Xeshboon waa baabba'day tan iyo Diibon,
Oo annagu waxaannu baabbi'innay tan iyo Nofax,
Taasoo gaadha tan iyo Meedebaa.

31 Oo sidaasay reer binu Israa'iil u degeen dalkii reer Amor. 32 Markaasaa Muuse diray rag soo basaasa Yacser, oo iyana way qabsadeen magaalooyinkeedii, oo reer Amorkii halkaas degganaana way ka eryeen. 33 Oo intay leexdeen ayay waxay tageen xagga jidka Baashaan loo maro. Markaasaa waxaa ku soo baxay Coog oo ahaa boqorkii Baashaan, isagii iyo dadkiisii oo dhanba, inay kula diriraan Edrecii. 34 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse ku yidhi, Ha ka cabsan, waayo, gacantaadaan geliyey isaga iyo dadkiisa oo dhan iyo dalkiisa, oo waxaad isaga ku samayn doontaa sidii aad ku samaysay Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii reer Amor oo Xeshboon degganaa. 35 Oo iyana waxay dileen isagii, iyo wiilashiisii, iyo dadkiisii oo dhan ilaa ayan isagii waxba u hadhin, oo dalkiisiina way qabsadeen.

Arad Destroyed

21 When the Canaanite king of Arad,(A) who lived in the Negev,(B) heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked the Israelites and captured some of them. Then Israel made this vow(C) to the Lord: “If you will deliver these people into our hands, we will totally destroy[a](D) their cities.” The Lord listened to Israel’s plea and gave the Canaanites(E) over to them. They completely destroyed them(F) and their towns; so the place was named Hormah.[b](G)

The Bronze Snake

They traveled from Mount Hor(H) along the route to the Red Sea,[c](I) to go around Edom.(J) But the people grew impatient on the way;(K) they spoke against God(L) and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt(M) to die in the wilderness?(N) There is no bread! There is no water!(O) And we detest this miserable food!”(P)

Then the Lord sent venomous snakes(Q) among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.(R) The people came to Moses(S) and said, “We sinned(T) when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord(U) will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed(V) for the people.

The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole;(W) anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake(X) and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.(Y)

The Journey to Moab

10 The Israelites moved on and camped at Oboth.(Z) 11 Then they set out from Oboth and camped in Iye Abarim, in the wilderness that faces Moab(AA) toward the sunrise. 12 From there they moved on and camped in the Zered Valley.(AB) 13 They set out from there and camped alongside the Arnon(AC), which is in the wilderness extending into Amorite territory. The Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.(AD) 14 That is why the Book of the Wars(AE) of the Lord says:

“. . . Zahab[d] in Suphah and the ravines,
    the Arnon 15 and[e] the slopes of the ravines
that lead to the settlement of Ar(AF)
    and lie along the border of Moab.”

16 From there they continued on to Beer,(AG) the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together and I will give them water.”

17 Then Israel sang this song:(AH)

“Spring up, O well!
    Sing about it,
18 about the well that the princes dug,
    that the nobles of the people sank—
    the nobles with scepters and staffs.”

Then they went from the wilderness to Mattanah, 19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20 and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah(AI) overlooks the wasteland.

Defeat of Sihon and Og

21 Israel sent messengers(AJ) to say to Sihon(AK) king of the Amorites:(AL)

22 “Let us pass through your country. We will not turn aside into any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will travel along the King’s Highway until we have passed through your territory.(AM)

23 But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory.(AN) He mustered his entire army and marched out into the wilderness against Israel. When he reached Jahaz,(AO) he fought with Israel.(AP) 24 Israel, however, put him to the sword(AQ) and took over his land(AR) from the Arnon to the Jabbok,(AS) but only as far as the Ammonites,(AT) because their border was fortified. 25 Israel captured all the cities of the Amorites(AU) and occupied them,(AV) including Heshbon(AW) and all its surrounding settlements. 26 Heshbon was the city of Sihon(AX) king of the Amorites,(AY) who had fought against the former king of Moab(AZ) and had taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.(BA)

27 That is why the poets say:

“Come to Heshbon and let it be rebuilt;
    let Sihon’s city be restored.

28 “Fire went out from Heshbon,
    a blaze from the city of Sihon.(BB)
It consumed(BC) Ar(BD) of Moab,
    the citizens of Arnon’s heights.(BE)
29 Woe to you, Moab!(BF)
    You are destroyed, people of Chemosh!(BG)
He has given up his sons as fugitives(BH)
    and his daughters as captives(BI)
    to Sihon king of the Amorites.

30 “But we have overthrown them;
    Heshbon’s dominion has been destroyed all the way to Dibon.(BJ)
We have demolished them as far as Nophah,
    which extends to Medeba.(BK)

31 So Israel settled in the land of the Amorites.(BL)

32 After Moses had sent spies(BM) to Jazer,(BN) the Israelites captured its surrounding settlements and drove out the Amorites who were there. 33 Then they turned and went up along the road toward Bashan(BO),(BP) and Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.(BQ)

34 The Lord said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of him, for I have delivered him into your hands, along with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.(BR)

35 So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors.(BS) And they took possession of his land.(BT)
