Numbers, 21

1. And when king Arad the Canaanite, who was living toward the south, had heard this, namely, that Israel had arrived by the way of spies, he fought against them. And proving to be the victor, he led away prey from them.

1. Kralj Arada, Kanaanac koji je živio u Negebu, èu da Izrael dolazi Atarimskim putem, pa navali na Izraela i neke njegove zarobi.

2. But Israel, obliging himself by a vow to the Lord, said: “If you deliver this people into my hand, I will wipe away their cities.”

2. Tada se Izrael ovako zavjetova Jahvi: "Ako u moje ruke izruèiš ovaj narod, potpuno æu uništiti njegove gradove."

3. And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and he delivered the Canaanite, who they put to death, overthrowing his cities. And they called the name of that place Hormah, that is, Anathema.

3. Jahve usliša glas Izraela i predade mu Kanaance. A Izrael njih i njihove gradove 'heremom' uništi. Stoga se ono mjesto prozva Horma.

4. Then they set out from mount Hor, by the way that leads to the Red Sea, to circle around the land of Edom. And the people began to tire of their journey and hardships.

4. Od brda Hora zapute se prema Crvenom moru da zaobiðu zemlju edomsku. Narod putem postane nestrpljiv.

5. And speaking against God and Moses, they said: “Why did you lead us away from Egypt, so as to die in the wilderness? Bread is lacking; there are no waters. Our soul is now nauseous over this very light food.”

5. I poène govoriti i protiv Boga i protiv Mojsija: "Zašto nas izvedoste iz Egipta da pomremo u ovoj pustinji? Nema kruha, nema vode, a to bijedno jelo veæ se ogadilo dušama našim."

6. For this reason, the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, which wounded or killed many of them.

6. Onda Jahve pošalje na narod ljute zmije; ujedale ih one, tako te pomrije mnogo naroda u Izraelu.

7. And so they went to Moses, and they said: “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray, so that he may take away these serpents from us.” And Moses prayed for the people.

7. Doðe narod k Mojsiju pa reèe: "Sagriješili samo kad smo govorili protiv Jahve i protiv tebe. Pomoli se Jahvi da ukloni zmije od nas!" Mojsije se pomoli za narod,

8. And the Lord said to him: “Make a bronze serpent, and place it as a sign. Whoever, having been struck, gazes upon it, shall live.”

8. i Jahve reèe Mojsiju: "Napravi otrovnicu i stavi je na stup: tko god bude ujeden, ostat æe na životu ako je pogleda."

9. Therefore, Moses made a bronze serpent, and he placed it as a sign. When those who had been struck gazed upon it, they were healed.

9. Mojsije napravi zmiju od mjedi i postavi je na stup. Kad bi koga ujela ljutica, pogledao bi u mjedenu zmiju i ozdravio.

10. And the sons of Israel, setting out, made camp at Oboth.

10. Poðu Izraelci i utabore se u Obotu.

11. Having departed from there, they pitched their tents at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness, which looks out toward Moab, opposite the eastern region.

11. Potom se zapute iz Obota i utabore se kraj Ije-Abarima, u pustinji što je nasuprot Moabu, sa strane sunèeva izlaska.

12. And moving from there, they arrived at the Torrent of Zared.

12. Odande otputuju te se utabore u dolini Zaredu.

13. Having left that place behind, they then made camp opposite Arnon, which is in the desert, and which juts out at the borders of the Amorite. For certainly Arnon is at the limit of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorites.

13. Odande krenu i utabore se s onu stranu Arnona, koji je u pustinji a izvire u podruèju Amorejaca. Jer je Arnon granica moapska izmeðu Moabaca i Amorejaca.

14. About this place, it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: “As he did at the Red Sea, so will he do at the Torrents of Arnon.”

14. Zato se veli u "Knjizi Jahvinih vojni": "Vaheb kod Sufe i doline arnonske

15. The stones of the torrents were bent, so that they might rest in Ar and lie back within the borders of the Moabites.

15. i padine doline što se naginje prema mjestu Aru i naslanja se na granicu moapsku ..."

16. Beyond that place appeared a well, about which the Lord said to Moses: “Gather the people together, and I will give them water.”

16. Odande odoše u Beer. To je bunar o kojem je Jahve rekao Mojsiju: "Skupi narod da im dam vode!"

17. Then Israel sang this verse: “Let the well rise up.” They sang:

17. Tada Izrael zapjeva ovu pjesmu: "Prokljuèaj, studenèe! A vi ga uznosite:

18. “The well, the leaders dug it, and the commanders of the multitude prepared it, at the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staffs.”

18. knezovi ga iskopali, prvaci narodni izdubli žezlom, štapom svojim." Iz pustinje odu u Matanu,

19. They went from the wilderness to Mattanah, from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

19. iz Matane u Nahaliel, a iz Nahaliela u Bamot;

20. from Bamoth, a valley in the region of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks out opposite the desert.

20. iz Bamota u dolinu što se stere u moapskom polju, prema vrhuncu Pisge, s koje se pruža vidik na pustaru.

21. Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, saying:

21. Sad Izrael posla glasnike Sihonu, amorejskome kralju, s porukom:

22. “I beg you to permit me to cross through your land. We will not turn aside into the fields or the vineyards. We will not drink waters from the wells. We will travel by the royal way, until we have passed your borders.”

22. "Pusti da proðem preko tvoje zemlje. Neæemo zalaziti u polja i u vinograde, niti æemo piti vode iz bunara. Iæi æemo Kraljevskim putem dok ne proðemo tvoje podruèje."

23. And he was not willing to allow Israel to cross through his borders. But instead, gathering an army, he went out to meet them in the desert, and he arrived at Jahaz and fought against them.

23. Ali Sihon ne dopusti Izraelu da proðe njegovim podruèjem, nego skupi sav svoj narod te izaðe u pustinju da presretne Izraelce. Stigavši do Jahze, zavojuje na Izraela.

24. And he was struck down by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from Arnon, even to Jabbok and the sons of Ammon. For the borders of the Ammonites were held by a strong fortress.

24. Ali ga Izrael potuèe oštrim maèem i osvoji njegovu zemlju od Arnona do Jaboka, do Amonaca, jer je Az ležao na granici Amonaca.

25. Therefore, Israel took all his cities and lived in the cities of the Amorite, namely, in Heshbon and its villages.

25. Izrael zauzme sve one gradove i Izrael se nastani u svim onim gradovima Amorejaca; u Hešbonu i svim njegovim naseljima.

26. Heshbon was the city of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who fought against the king of Moab. And he took all the land, which had been under his sovereignty, as far as Arnon.

26. Kako je Hešbon bio glavni grad Sihona, amorejskog kralja, koji je ratovao protiv prijašnjega moapskoga kralja te osvojio svu njegovu zemlju do Arnona,

27. About this, it is said in the proverb: “Enter into Heshbon. Let the city of Sihon be established and built.

27. kažu zato pjesnici: "Hrabro, o Hešbone, dobro sazdani, èvrsto posaðeni grade Sihonov!

28. A fire has gone forth from Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon, and it has devoured Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the heights of Arnon.

28. Iz Hešbona oganj suknu, plamen iz grada Sihonova, sažga Ar moapski, proždrije visove arnonske.

29. Woe to you, Moab! You are perishing, O people of Chemosh. He gave flight to his sons, and he gave the daughters into captivity, to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.

29. Teško tebi, Moabe! Propao si, narode Kemošev! Od sinova bjegunce uèini, a od kæeri svojih ropkinje Sihonu, kralju amorejskom.

30. Their yoke has been scattered from Heshbon even to Dibon. They have passed through, wearily, into Nophah, and as far as Medeba.”

30. Pobili smo ih; propao je Hešbon do Dibona: sve smo razorili do Nofaha, što je blizu Medebe ..."

31. And so Israel lived in the land of the Amorite.

31. Tako se Izrael nastani u zemlji Amorejaca.

32. And Moses sent some to explore Jazer. These captured its villages and possessed its inhabitants.

32. Mojsije se uputi da izvidi Jazer. Potom zauzmu njegova naselja a rastjeraju Amorejce koji bijahu ondje.

33. And they turned themselves and ascended, along the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, met them with all his people, to fight at Edrei.

33. Okrenu se onda i poðu prema Bašanu. A bašanski kralj Og presrete ih sa svim svojim narodom da zapodjene boj kod Edreja.

34. And the Lord said to Moses: “Do not be afraid of him. For I have delivered him, and all his people, as well as his land, into your hand. And you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, the inhabitant of Heshbon.”

34. Ali Jahve reèe Mojsiju: "Ne boj ga se! Predao sam u tvoje ruke njega, sav njegov narod i njegovu zemlju. Postupi s njim kako si postupio s amorejskim kraljem Sihonom koji je boravio u Hešbonu."

35. Therefore, they struck him down also, with his sons, and all his people, even to utter destruction, and they possessed his land.

35. I potukoše ga, i sinove njegove, i sav njegov narod, tako da nitko ne uteèe. Potom zaposjedoše njegovu zemlju.
