1And when king Arad the Chanaanite, who dwelt towards the south, had heard this, to wit, that Israel was come by the way of the spies, he fought against them, and overcoming them carried off their spoils.
1ΚΑΙ ἤκουσεν ὁ Χανανεὶς βασιλεὺς Ἀρὰδ ὁ κατοικῶν κατὰ τὴν ἔρημον, ὅτι ἦλθεν Ἰσραὴλ ὁδὸν Ἀθαρείν, καὶ ἐπολέμησε πρὸς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ καταπροενόμευσεν ἐξ αὐτῶν αἰχμαλωσίαν.
2But Israel binding himself by vow to the Lord, said: It thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, I will utterly destroy their cities.
2καὶ ηὔξατο Ἰσραὴλ εὐχὴν Κυρίῳ καὶ εἶπεν· ἐάν μοι παραδῷς τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ὑποχείριον, ἀναθεματιῶ αὐτὸν καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτοῦ.
3And the Lord heard the prayers of Israel, and delivered up the Chanaanite, and they cut them off and destroyed their cities: and they called the name of that place Horma, that is to say, Anathema.
3καὶ εἰσήκουσε Κύριος τῆς φωνῆς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ παρέδωκε τὸν Χανανεὶν ὑποχείριον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνεθεμάτισεν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπεκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Ἀνάθεμα.
4And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and labour:
4Καὶ ἀπάραντες ἐξ Ὢρ τοῦ ὄρους ὁδὸν ἐπὶ θάλασσαν ἐρυθρὰν περιεκύκλωσαν γῆν Ἐδώμ· καὶ ὠλιγοψύχησεν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
5And speaking against God and Moses, they said: Why didst thou bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food.
5καὶ κατελάλει ὁ λαὸς πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν καὶ κατὰ Μωυσῆ λέγοντες· ἱνατί τοῦτο; ἐξήγαγες ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, ἀποκτεῖναι ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ; ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἄρτος οὐδὲ ὕδωρ, ἡ δὲ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν προσώχθισεν ἐν τῷ ἄρτῳ τῷ διακένῳ τούτῳ.
6Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.
6καὶ ἀπέστειλε Κύριος εἰς τὸν λαὸν τοὺς ὄφεις τοὺς θανατοῦντας, καὶ ἔδακνον τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἀπέθανε λαὸς πολὺς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
7Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and thee: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
7καὶ παραγενόμενος ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἔλεγον· ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν, ὅτι κατελαλήσαμεν κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ κατὰ σοῦ· εὖξαι οὖν πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ ἀφελέτω ἀφ' ἡμῶν τὸν ὄφιν. καὶ ηὔξατο Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κύριον περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ.
8And the Lord said to him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whosoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.
8καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· ποίησον σεαυτῷ ὄφιν καὶ θὲς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σημείου, καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν δάκῃ ὄφις ἄνθρωπον, πᾶς ὁ δεδηγμένος ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ζήσεται.
9Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.
9καὶ ἐποίησε Μωυσῆς ὄφιν χαλκοῦν καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σημείου, καὶ ἐγένετο ὅταν ἔδακνεν ὄφις ἄνθρωπον, καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν ὄφιν τὸν χαλκοῦν καὶ ἔζη.
10And the children of Israel setting forwards camped in Oboth.
10Καὶ ἀπῇραν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν Ὠβώθ.
11And departing thence they pitched their tents in Jeabarim, in the wilderness, that faceth Moab toward the east.
11καὶ ἐξάραντες ἐξ Ὠβώθ, καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν Ἀχαλγαὶ ἐκ τοῦ πέραν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἥ ἐστι κατὰ πρόσωπον Μωάβ, κατ' ἀνατολὰς ἡλίου.
12And removing from thence, they came to the torrent Zared:
12καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἀπῇραν καὶ παρενέβαλον εἰς φάραγγα Ζαρέδ.
13Which they left and encamped over against Arnon, which is in the desert and standeth out on the borders of the Amorrhite. For Arnon is the border of Moab, dividing the Moabites and the Amorrhites.
13καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἀπάραντες παρενέβαλον εἰς τὸ πέραν Ἀρνῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, τὸ ἐξέχον ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Ἀμορραίων· ἔστι γὰρ Ἀρνῶν ὅρια Μωὰβ ἀνὰ μέσον Μωὰβ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ Ἀμορραίου.
14Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord: As he did in the Red Sea, so will he do in the streams of Amen.
14διὰ τοῦτο λέγεται ἐν βιβλίῳ· πόλεμος τοῦ Κυρίου τὴν Ζωὸβ ἐφλόγιζε, καὶ τοὺς χειμάρρους Ἀρνῶν,
15The rocks of the torrents were bowed down that they might rest in Ar, and lie down in the borders of the Moabites.
15καὶ τοὺς χειμάρρους κατέστησε κατοικίσαι Ἤρ, καὶ πρόσκειται τοῖς ὁρίοις Μωάβ.
16When they went from that place, the well appeared whereof the Lord said to Moses: Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
16καὶ ἐκεῖθεν τὸ φρέαρ· τοῦτο τὸ φρέαρ, ὃ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· συνάγαγε τὸν λαόν, καὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς ὕδωρ πιεῖν.
17Then Israel sung this song: Let the well spring up. They sung thereto:
17τότε ᾖσεν Ἰσραὴλ τὸ ᾆσμα τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ φρέατος· ἐξάρχετε αὐτῷ· φρέαρ,
18The well, which the princes dug, and the chiefs of the people prepared by the direction of the lawgiver, and with their staves. And they marched from the wilderness to Mathana.
18ὤρυξαν αὐτὸ ἄρχοντες, ἐξελατόμησαν αὐτὸ βασιλεῖς ἐθνῶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτῶν, ἐν τῷ κυριεῦσαι αὐτῶν. καὶ ἀπὸ φρέατος εἰς Μανθαναείν·
19From Mathana unto Nahaliel: from Nahaliel unto Bamoth.
19καὶ ἀπὸ Μανθαναεὶν εἰς Νααλιήλ· καὶ ἀπὸ Νααλιὴλ εἰς Βαμώθ· καὶ ἀπὸ Βαμὼθ εἰς Ἰανήν, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ Μωὰβ ἀπὸ κορυφῆς τοῦ λελαξευμένου τὸ βλέπον κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς ἐρήμου.
20From Bamoth, is a valley in the country of Moab, to the top of Phasga, which looked towards the desert.
20Καὶ ἀπέστειλε Μωυσῆς πρέσβεις πρὸς Σηὼν βασιλέα Ἀμορραίων λόγοις εἰρηνικοῖς λέγων·
21And Israel sent messengers to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, saying:
21παρελευσόμεθα διὰ τῆς γῆς σου· τῇ ὁδῷ πορευσόμεθα, οὐκ ἐκκλινοῦμεν οὔτε εἰς ἀγρὸν οὔτε εἰς ἀμπελῶνα,
22I beseech thee that I may have leave to pass through thy land: we will not go aside into the fields or the vineyards, we will not drink waters of the wells, we will go the king’s highway, till we be past thy borders.
22οὐ πιόμεθα ὕδωρ ἐκ φρέατός σου· ὁδῷ βασιλικῇ πορευσόμεθα, ἕως παρέλθωμεν τὰ ὅριά σου.
23And he would not grant that Israel should pass by his borders: but rather gathering an army, went forth to meet them in the desert, and came to Jasa, and fought against them.
23καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκε Σηὼν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ παρελθεῖν διὰ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνήγαγε Σηὼν πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθε παρατάξασθαι τῷ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ἰασσὰ καὶ παρετάξατο τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
24And he was slain by them with the edge of the sword, and they possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jeboc, and to the confines of the children of Ammon: for the borders of the Ammonites, were kept with a strong garrison.
24καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν Ἰσραὴλ φόνῳ μαχαίρας καὶ κατεκυρίευσαν τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἀρνῶν ἕως Ἰαβόκ, ἕως υἱῶν Ἀμμάν· ὅτι Ἰαζὴρ ὅρια υἱῶν Ἀμμάν ἐστι.
25So Israel took all his cities, and dwelt in the cities of the Amorrhite, to wit, in Hesebon, and in the villages thereof.
25καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰσραὴλ πάσας τὰς πόλεις ταύτας, καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσι τῶν Ἀμορραίων, ἐν Ἐσεβὼν καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς συγκυρούσαις αὐτῇ.
26Hesebon was the city of Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, who fought against the king of Moab: and took all the land, that had been of his dominions, as far as the Arnon.
26ἔστι γὰρ Ἐσεβὼν πόλις Σηὼν τοῦ βασιλέως τῶν Ἀμορραίων, καὶ οὗτος ἐπολέμησε βασιλέα Μωὰβ τὸ πρότερον καὶ ἔλαβον πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἀροὴρ ἕως Ἀρνῶν.
27Therefore it is said in the proverb: Come into Hesebon, let the city of Sehon be built and set up:
27διὰ τοῦτο ἐροῦσιν οἱ αἰνιγματισταί· ἔλθετε εἰς Ἐσεβών, ἵνα οἰκοδομηθῇ καὶ κατασκευασθῇ πόλις Σηών.
28A fire is gone out of Hesebon, a flame from the city of Sehon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the high places of the Arnon.
28ὅτι πῦρ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ Ἐσεβών, φλὸξ ἐκ πόλεως Σηὼν καὶ κατέφαγεν ἕως Μωὰβ καὶ κατέπιε στήλας Ἀρνῶν.
29Woe to thee Moab: thou art undone, O people of Chamos. He hath given his sons to flight, and his daughters into captivity to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites.
29οὐαί σοι, Μωάβ· ἀπώλου, λαὸς Χαμώς. ἀπεδόθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν διασῴζεσθαι καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῶν αἰχμάλωτοι τῷ βασιλεῖ τῶν Ἀμορραίων Σηών·
30Their yoke is perished from Hesebon unto Dibon, they came weary to Nophe, and unto Medaba.
30καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν ἀπολεῖται, Ἐσεβὼν ἕως Δαιβών, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ἔτι προσεξέκαυσαν πῦρ ἐπὶ Μωάβ.
31So Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorrhite.
31Κατώκησε δὲ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσι τῶν Ἀμορραίων.
32And Moses sent some to take a view of Jazer: and they took the villages of it, and conquered the inhabitants.
32καὶ ἀπέστειλε Μωυσῆς κατασκέψασθαι τὴν Ἰαζήρ, καὶ κατελάβοντο αὐτὴν καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξέβαλον τὸν Ἀμορραῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐκεῖ.
33And they turned themselves, and went up by the way of Basan, and Og the king of Basan came against them with all his people, to fight in Edrai.
33καὶ ἐπιστρέψαντες ἀνέβησαν ὁδὸν τὴν εἰς Βασάν· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ὢγ βασιλεὺς τῆς Βασὰν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον εἰς Ἐδραείν.
34And the Lord said to Moses: Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people, and his country into thy hand: and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sehon the king of the Amorrhites, the inhabitant of Hesebon.
34καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· μὴ φοβηθῇς αὐτόν, ὅτι εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου παραδέδωκα αὐτὸν καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ καθὼς ἐποίησας τῷ Σηὼν βασιλεῖ τῶν Ἀμορραίων, ὃς κατῴκει ἐν Ἐσεβών.
35So they slew him also with his sons, and all his people, not letting any one escape, and they possessed his land.
35καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, ἕως τοῦ μὴ καταλιπεῖν αὐτοῦ ζωγρείαν· καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ.
