1 Tuithim kah khosa Arad manghai Kanaan loh Atharim longpuei ah Israel a pawk te a yaak vaengah Israel te a vathoh tih tamna la a sol.
And Arad the Chananitish king who lived by the wilderness, heard that Israel came by the way of Atharin; and he made war on Israel, and carried off some of them captives.
2 Te vaengah Israel loh BOEIPA taengah olcaeng neh a caeng tih, “He pilnam he ka kut ah nan paek la nan paek atah a khopuei khaw ka thup bitni,” a ti nah.
And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If you will deliver this people into my power, I will devote it and its cities [to you].
3 BOEIPA loh Israel kah ol te a yaak dongah Kanaan te a paek. Te dongah amih neh a khopuei te a thup tih a hmuen ming te Hormah a sak.
And the Lord listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered the Chananite into his power; and [Israel] devoted him and his cities, and they called the name of that place Anathema.
4 Hor tlang lamloh carhaek tuili longpuei la Edom khohmuen te lan ham cet uh. Tedae longpueng ah pilnam kah hinglu tah a huet pah.
And having departed from mount Or by the way [leading] to the Red Sea, they compassed the land of Edom, and the people lost courage by the way.
5 Te dongah pilnam loh Pathen taeng neh Moses taengah, “Khosoek ah duek ham mai he balae tih Egypt lamloh kaimih nang khuen. Buh om pawh, tui om pawh. Buh kak tangkik he kaimih kah hinglu khaw a mueipuel coeng,” a ti uh.
And the people spoke against God and against Moses, saying, Why is this? Hast you brought us ought of Egypt to kill us in the wilderness? for there is not bread nor water; and our soul loathes this light bread.
6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh pilnam taengah minyuk rhul te a tueih pah tih pilnam te a tuk dongah Israel khui lamkah pilnam muep duek.
And the Lord sent amongst the people deadly serpents, and they bit the people, and much people of the children of Israel died.
7 Te vaengah pilnam te Moses taengla cet tih, “BOEIPA taeng neh nang taengah ka cal uh tholh coeng. BOEIPA taengah thangthui lamtah rhul te kaimih taeng lamloh khoe mai saeh,” a ti uh. Te dongah Moses te pilnam ham a thangthui pah.
And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against you: pray therefore to the Lord, and let him take away the serpent from us.
8 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Namah loh minyuk saii lamtah rholik soah bang, te vaengah nana om bitni, rhul kah a tuk boeih loh te te a hmuh vaengah hing ni,” a ti nah.
And Moses prayed to the Lord for the people; and the Lord said to Moses, Make you a serpent, and put it on a signal-[staff]; and it shall come to pass that whenever a serpent shall bite a man, every one [so] bitten that looks upon it shall live.
9 Te phoeiah Moses loh rhohum rhul te a saii tih rholik dongah a tai. Te a om phoeiah atah rhul loh hlang a tuk akhaw rhohum rhul te a paelki tih hing.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a signal-[staff]: and it came to pass that whenever a serpent bit a man, and he looked on the brazen serpent, he lived.
10 Te phoeiah Israel ca rhoek te thoeih uh tih Oboth ah rhaeh uh.
And the children of Israel departed, and encamped in Oboth.
11 Oboth lamloh thoeih uh tih khomik khocuk kah Moab dan, Ijeabarim khosoek ah rhaeh uh.
And having departed from Oboth, they encamped in Achalgai, on the farther side in the wilderness, which is opposite Moab, towards the east.
12 Te lamloh cet uh tih Zered soklong ah rhaeh uh.
And thence they departed, and encamped in the valley of Zared.
13 Te lamloh cet uh tih Amori khorhi lamkah aka pawk khosoek kah Arnon rhalvangan ah rhaeh uh. Moab khorhi kah Arnon tah Moab laklo neh Amori laklo ah om.
And they departed thence and encamped on the other side of Arnon in the wilderness, [the country] which extends from the coasts of the Amorites; for Arnon is the borders of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Te dongah BOEIPA kah caemtloek cabu khuiah tah “Suphah kah Vaheb neh Arnon soklong,” a ti.
Therefore it is said in a book, A war of the Lord has set on fire Zoob, and the brooks of Arnon.
15 Soklong kah tuibah te Ar khosa la a doo tih Moab khorhi te a pangnat.
And he has appointed brooks to cause Er to dwell [there]; and it lies near to the coasts of Moab.
16 Te lamloh Beer la thoeih uh tih tekah tuito ah tah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Pilnam te coi lamtah amih te tui ka pae eh?,” a ti nah.
And thence [they came to] the well; this [is] the well of which the Lord said to Moses, Gather the people, and I will give them water to drink.
17 Te vaengah Israel loh hekah laa he a hlai. Tuito phuet lah, amah te doo lah.
Then Israel sang this song at the well, Begin [to sing] of the well;
18 Tuito te mangpa rhoek loh a too uh tih, pilnam hlangcong rhoek loh a vueh. Mattanah khosoek lamloh a conghol neh a taem uh.
the princes digged it, the kings of the nations in their kingdom, in their lordship sank it in the rock: and [they went] from the well to Manthanain,
19 Mattanah lamloh kaloh Nahaliel, Nahaliel lamloh Bamoth,
and from Manthanain to Naaliel, and from Naaliel to Bamoth, and from Bamoth to Janen, which is in the plain of Moab [as seen] from the top of the quarried [rock] that looks towards the wilderness.
20 Bamoth lamloh Moab khohmuen kah kolrhawk, Pisgah som neh khopong hmai kah a dan la thoeihuh.
And Moses sent ambassadors to Seon king of the Amorites, with peaceful words, saying,
21 Israel loh Amori manghai Sihon taengah puencawn a tueih tih,
We will pass through your land, we will go by the road; we will not turn aside to the field or to the vineyard.
22 “Na khohmuen longah ka kat mai eh, lohma li neh misurdum khuiah ka ael uh mahpawh, tuito tui khaw ka o uh mahpawh, na khorhi ka poeng hil manghai longpuei bangla ka vai uh bitni,” a ti nah.
We will not drink water out of your well; we will go by the king's highway, until we have past your boundaries.
23 Tedae Sihon loh Israel te a khorhi longah kat sak pawh. Sihon loh a pilnam boeih te a coi tih Israel doe ham khosoek la cet uh. Jahaz la a pawk vaengah Israel te a tloek.
And Seon did not allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Seon gathered all his people, and went out to set the battle in array against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jassa, and set the battle in array against Israel.
24 Te dongah Israel loh anih te cunghang ha neh a tloek tih a khohmuen te Arnon lamloh Jabbok hil, Ammon koca taeng duela a huul pa. Te vaengah Ammon koca khorhi tah cak.
And Israel struck him with the slaughter of the sword, and they became possessors of his land, from Arnon to Jaboc, as far as the children of Amman, for Jazer is the borders of the children of Amman.
25 Israel ca loh te kah khopuei boeih te a loh pah. Te dongah Israel loh Amori khopuei rhoek boeih ah khaw, Heshbon neh a khobuel boeih ah khaw kho a sak.
And Israel took all their cities, and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Esebon, and in all cities belonging to it.
26 Amori manghai Sihon kah khopuei Heshbon phoeiah tah lamhma kah Moab manghai te a tloek tih a kut lamkah a khohmuen pum te Arnon duela a loh.
For Esebon is the city of Seon king of the Amorites; and he before fought against the king of Moab, and they took all his land, from Aroer to Arnon.
27 Te dongah aka thuidoek rhoek loh, “Halo uh, Heshbon thoh uh lamtah Sihon khopuei khaw sikim saeh,” tila aka thuidoek rhoek loh a thuiuh.
Therefore say they who deal in dark speeches, Come to Esebon, that the city of Seon may be built and prepared.
28 Hmai te Heshbon lamloh puek tih Sihon khorha lamkah hmaisai loh Arnon kah hmuensang boei, Moab Ar te a hlawp.
For a fire has gone forth from Esebon, a flame from the city of Seon, and has consumed as far as Moab, and devoured the pillars of Arnon.
29 Anunae Moab nang aih te, Khemosh pilnam na milh coeng, a capa rhoek! te hlangyong la, a canu rhoek khaw Sihon Amori manghai taengah thongtla la a paek.
Woe to you, Moab; you are lost, you people of Chamos: their sons are sold for preservation, and their daughters are captives to Seon king of the Amorites.
30 Amih te n'dong tih Heshbon tah Dibon duela milh, Medeba taengkah Nophah duela m'pong sak uh coeng,” a ti uh.
And their seed shall perish [from] Esebon to Daebon; and their women have yet farther kindled a fire against Moab.
31 Te dongah Israel loh Amori khohmuen ah kho a sak.
And Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites.
32 Te phoeiah Moses loh Jazer ah longyam la a tueih tih a khobuel rhoek te a buem, a huul uh phoeiah Amori te pahoi a vai uh.
And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took it, and its villages, and cast out the Amorite that lived there.
33 Te phoeiah mael uh tih Bashan longpuei a paan uh. Te vaengah Bashan manghai Oga tah amih doe hamla amah khaw a pilnam boeih khaw, Edrei caemtloeknah la cet.
And having returned, they went up the road thhebraismat leads to Basan; and Og the king of Basan went forth to meet them, and all his people to war to Edrain.
34 Tedae BOEIPA loh Moses taengah, “Anih te rhih boeh, Na kut dongah anih neh a pilnam boeih khaw, a khohmuen khaw kam paek coeng. Heshbon kah khosa, Amori manghai Sihon taengah na saii bangla anih te saii van,” a ti nah.
And the Lord said to Moses, Fear him not; for I have delivered him and all his people, and all his land, into your hands; and you shall do to him as you did to Seon king of the Amorites, who lived in Esebon.
35 Te dongah a taengah rhaengnaeng khaw a sueng pawt hil amah khaw, a ca rhoek khaw, a pilnam boeih khaw a tloek pa uh tih a khohmuen te a huul uh.
And he struck him and his sons, and all his people, until he left none of his to be taken alive; and they inherited his land.
