Numbers 21
1 आरादाका कनानी राजा नेगेवमा बस्थे। उनले इस्राएली मानिसहरू अटारीमको बाटो भएर आउँदैछन् भन्ने चाल पाए। यसर्थ तिनी गएर इस्राएली मानिसहरू माथि आक्रमण गरे। तिनले केही मानिसहरूलाई पक्राऊ गरेर कैद गरे।
2 तब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले विशेष भाकल गरी परमप्रभुलाई पुकारेः “हे परमप्रभु, दया गरी हामीलाई यी मानिसहरूमाथि विजय गराई दिनुहोस् र हामी तिनीहरूको शहरहरू नष्ट पारी दिनेछौ।”
3 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीहरूको पुकार मान्नु भयो र कनानीहरूलाई जित्न तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नु भयो। इस्राएलीहरूले तिनीहरू र तिनीहरूका शहर सम्पूर्ण ध्वंश पारे। यसर्थ त्यस ठाँउको नाम होर्मा राखियो।
4 इस्राएली मानिसहरू होर पर्वत छोडेर लाल समुद्र जाने बाटोमा हिड्न लागे। तिनीहरूले एदोम देश वरिपरि जानलाई त्यो बाटो गए। तर मानिसहरू धैर्यहीन भईसकेका थिए।
5 मानिसहरूले परमेश्वर र मोशाको विरोधमा कुरा गरे। तिनीहरूले भने, “यो मरूभूमिमा मर्नुको निम्ति किन हामीलाई मिश्र देशबाट ल्याइयो? कारण यहाँ न त पानी छ न रोटी। तुच्छ खाना अथवा रोटी खाँदा खाँदा वाक्क भई सक्यो।”
6 यसर्थ परमप्रभुले मानिसहरूको माझमा विषालु सर्पहरू पठाईदिनुभयो र तिनीहरूले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई डसेर मार्यो। यसरी इस्राएलका धेरै मानिसहरू मरे।
7 मानिसहरू आएर मोशासंग भने, “हामी जान्दछौं परमप्रभु र तपाईंको विरोधमा बोलेर हामीले पाप गर्यौं। परमप्रभुसित प्रार्थना गरेर यी सर्पहरू फर्काउन लगाईदिनु होस्।” यसकारण मोशाले मानिसहरूको निम्ति प्रार्थना गरे।
8 परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “काँसाको एउटा सर्प बनाऊ र खम्बा माथि राख। सर्पबाट डसिएको कुनै व्यक्तिले त्यो खम्बामाथि राखिएको काँसाको सर्पलाई हेर्छ त्यो मर्ने छैन।”
9 यसकारण मोशाले परमप्रभुको आज्ञा मानी एउटा काँसाको सर्प बनाई खम्बामाथि राखे। त्यसपछि जब कुनै व्यक्तिलाई सर्पले टोके उसले त्यो खम्बा माथि राखिएको काँसाको सर्पलाई हेर्थ्यो र त्यो बाँच्थ्यो।
10 इस्राएली मानिसहरूले त्यो ठाँउ छोडे अनि ओबोतमा छाउनी हाले।
11 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले ओबोतबाट हिंडी मोआबको पूर्वमा रहेको मरूभूमि ऐ अबारीममा छाउनी हाले।
12 तिनीहरूले त्यो ठाँउ पनि छाडी जेरोद बेंसीमा छाउनी हाले।
13 त्यहाँबाट पनि गई अर्नोन नदी पारीको मरूभूमिमा छाउनी हाले। यो नदी एमोरीहरूको सिमानाबाट शुरू हुन्थ्यो। त्यो बेंसीमा मोआब र एमोरीहरू बीचको सिमान थियो।
14 यसकारण परमप्रभुको युद्धको पुस्तकमा यी कुरा लेखिएका छन्।“अनि सूपामा वाहेब अनि अर्नोनको बेंसी
15 अनि बेंसीहरूको आरको भिरालोहरू वासस्थान पट्टि जो मोआबको सिमानामा अवस्थित छन्।”
16 इस्राएलका मानिसहरू त्यस ठाँउ छाडेर बेओर तिर गए। यस ठाँउमा कूवा थियो र परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नु भयो, “मानिसहरूलाई भेला गरेर ल्याऊ, म तिनीहरूलाई पानी दिनेछु।”
17 तब इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यो गीत गाए।“हे कूवा पानीसित बग्छ। यस विषयमा गीत गाओ।
18 महान व्यक्तिले यो कूवा खने। महान नायकहरूले यो कूवा खने। तिनीहरूले आफ्नो भारदारहरूसंग हिंड्ने लहुरोहरूले यो कूवा खने। मरूभूमिमा एउटा उपहार रहेको छ।”यसर्थ मानिसहरूले त्यो कुवाको नाम “मत्ताना” राखे।
19 मानिसहरू मत्तानाबाट नहलीएल गए। त्यसपछि तिनीहरू नहलीएलबाट बामोत गए।
20 बामोतबाट मानिसहरू फेरि मोआब बेंसी गए। यस ठाँउमा पिसगा पर्वतको टुप्पो मरूभूमि माथि देखिन्छ।
21 इस्राएलले आफ्नो केही मानिसहरू एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोन कहाँ पठाए। ती मानिसहरूले राजालाई भने,
22 “हामीहरूलाई तपाईंहरूको देश भएर जान दिनुहोस्। हामी तपाईंको दाखबारीहरू तथा खेतमा पस्ने छैनौ, तपाईंको पोखटीबाट पानी पिउने छैनौं। जब सम्म हामी तपाईंको देशको सिमानामा पुग्दैनौं हामी मूल बाटोमा रहने छौं।”
23 तर सीहोनले इस्राएललाई तिनको राज्यको सिमाना भित्रबाट हिड्नु दिएनन् अनि आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई भेला पारेर इस्राएललाई मरूभूमिमा आक्रमण गर्न आए। तिनी यहससम्म आए अनि इस्राएलीहरूसित लडाँई गरे।”
24 तर इस्राएलीहरूले तिनलाई तरवारको टुप्पोले घोचेर मारे अनि तिनको भूमि अर्नोन नदीदेखि यब्बोक नदी सम्म कब्जा गरे। तिनीहरूले अम्मोनीहरूको सिमानासम्म मात्र लिएर रोकिए कारण अम्मोनीहरूले आफ्नो सिमाना बलियो गरी सुरक्षा गरेका थिए।
25 यसकारण इस्राएलले एमोरीहरूको सबै शहरहरू कब्जामा लिएर त्यहीं बस्न शुरू गरे। तिनीहरूले हेशबोन र त्यसको वरिपरिको साना साना शहरहरू पनि आफ्नो अधीनमा लिए।
26 हेशबोन त्यो शहर हो जहाँ अम्मोरीहरूका राजा सीहोन बस्थे। सीहोनले मोओबका राजासित युद्ध गरी तिनको भूमि अर्नोन नदीसम्म कब्जामा लिएका थिए।
27 यसैकारण गाइनेहरूले यो गीत गाँउछन्।तिमीहरू हेशबोन शहरमा आऊ, यो पुर्नस्थापित होस्। सीहोन शहर फेरि बनियोस्।
28 किनभने हेशबोन शहरबाट आगो शुरू भएर एउटा ज्वाला सीहोन शहरबाट शुरू भयो। यसले अर र मोआबलाई ध्वंश पार्यो। यसले अर्नोन माथिका उच्च पर्वतहरू जलायो।
29 ए मोआब तँलाई धिक्कार छ। ए कमोशका प्रजाहरू हो तिमीहरू नष्ट भयौ। यसले आफ्नो छोराहरूलाई भगौटे बनाएर र छोरीहरूलाई कैद गराएर, एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोनलाई दिएको छ।
30 तर हामीले ती एमोरीहरूलाई जितेका छौं। हेशबोन देखि दीबोनसम्मै, ध्वंश भयो, र हामीले मेदेबाको नजीक नोपा सम्म, तिनीहरूको शहरहरू नष्ट पारेका छौं।
31 यसकारण इस्राएलीहरूले एमोरीहरूको भूमि दखल गरे।
32 मोशाले याजेरको शहरमा खूपियाहरू पठाए। मोशाले यसो गरे पछि इस्राएलीहरूले त्यसका वरिपरिका शहरहरू अधीनमा ल्याए अनि एमोरीहरूलाई लखेटे।
33 त्यसपछि इस्राएलीहरू बाशानतिर जाने बाटो लागे। बाशानका राजा ओग आफ्नो सेनाहरू लिएर इस्राएलीहरूलाई भेटन अघि बढे अनि एद्रईमा तिनीहरूसित युद्ध गरे।
34 तर परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो, “त्यो राजासित नडराऊ, म तिमीलाई जिताउनेछु। हेशबोनमा बस्ने एमोरीहरूका राजा सीहोनलाई जुन व्यवहार गरेका थियौ ओगसित पनि त्यही गर। उसको सबै सेनाहरू र भूमि अधीनमा पार।”
35 यसर्थ इस्राएलीहरूले राजा ओग र उसको सेनाहरूलाई परास्त पारे अनि तिनीहरूले उसको छोराहरू, सेनाहरू तथा उसलाई पनि मारेर उसको भूमि अधीनमा लिए।
1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king’s high way, until we be past thy borders.
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26 For 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, even unto Arnon.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
1 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:
3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord.
9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
12 And Moses spake before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
13 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
14 These be the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben.
15 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.
16 And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years.
17 The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.
18 And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years.
19 And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations.
20 And Amram took him Jochebed his father’s sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years.
21 And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
22 And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
23 And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
24 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites.
25 And Eleazar Aaron’s son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the Lord said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
27 These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
28 And it came to pass on the day when the Lord spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
29 That the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, I am the Lord: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
30 And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
