English Standard Version ESV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negeb, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
1 quod cum audisset Chananeus rex Arad qui habitabat ad meridiem venisse scilicet Israhel per exploratorum viam pugnavit contra illum et victor existens duxit ex eo praedam
2 And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD and said, "If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction."
2 at Israhel voto se Domino obligans ait si tradideris populum istum in manu mea delebo urbes eius
3 And the LORD heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites, and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. So the name of the place was called Hormah.
3 exaudivitque Dominus preces Israhel et tradidit Chananeum quem ille interfecit subversis urbibus eius et vocavit nomen loci illius Horma id est anathema
4 From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way.
4 profecti sunt autem et de monte Or per viam quae ducit ad mare Rubrum ut circumirent terram Edom et taedere coepit populum itineris ac laboris
5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food."
5 locutusque contra Deum et Mosen ait cur eduxisti nos de Aegypto ut moreremur in solitudine deest panis non sunt aquae anima nostra iam nausiat super cibo isto levissimo
6 Then the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.
6 quam ob rem misit Dominus in populum ignitos serpentes ad quorum plagas et mortes plurimorum
7 And the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people.
7 venerunt ad Mosen atque dixerunt peccavimus quia locuti sumus contra Dominum et te ora ut tollat a nobis serpentes oravit Moses pro populo
8 And the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live."
8 et locutus est Dominus ad eum fac serpentem et pone eum pro signo qui percussus aspexerit eum vivet
9 So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
9 fecit ergo Moses serpentem aeneum et posuit pro signo quem cum percussi aspicerent sanabantur
10 And the people of Israel set out and camped in Oboth.
10 profectique filii Israhel castrametati sunt in Oboth
11 And they set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness that is opposite Moab, toward the sunrise.
11 unde egressi fixere tentoria in Hieabarim in solitudine quae respicit Moab contra orientalem plagam
12 From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered.
12 et inde moventes venerunt ad torrentem Zared
13 From there they set out and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites, for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
13 quem relinquentes castrametati sunt contra Arnon quae est in deserto et prominet in finibus Amorrei siquidem Arnon terminus est Moab dividens Moabitas et Amorreos
14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD, "Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,
14 unde dicitur in libro bellorum Domini sicut fecit in mari Rubro sic faciet in torrentibus Arnon
15 and the slope of the valleys that extends to the seat of Ar, and leans to the border of Moab."
15 scopuli torrentium inclinati sunt ut requiescerent in Ar et recumberent in finibus Moabitarum
16 And from there they continued to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, "Gather the people together, so that I may give them water."
16 ex eo loco apparuit puteus super quo locutus est Dominus ad Mosen congrega populum et dabo ei aquam
17 Then Israel sang this song: "Spring up, O well!--Sing to it!--
17 tunc cecinit Israhel carmen istud ascendat puteus concinebant
18 the well that the princes made, that the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter and with their staffs."And from the wilderness they went on to Mattanah,
18 puteus quem foderunt principes et paraverunt duces multitudinis in datore legis et in baculis suis de solitudine Matthana
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
19 de Matthana Nahalihel de Nahalihel in Bamoth
20 and from Bamoth to the valley lying in the region of Moab by the top of Pisgah that looks down on the desert.
20 de Bamoth vallis est in regione Moab in vertice Phasga et quod respicit contra desertum
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
21 misit autem Israhel nuntios ad Seon regem Amorreorum dicens
22 "Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into field or vineyard. We will not drink the water of a well. We will go by the King's Highway until we have passed through your territory."
22 obsecro ut transire mihi liceat per terram tuam non declinabimus in agros et vineas non bibemus aquas ex puteis via regia gradiemur donec transeamus terminos tuos
23 But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his people together and went out against Israel to the wilderness and came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.
23 qui concedere noluit ut transiret Israhel per fines suos quin potius exercitu congregato egressus est obviam in desertum et venit in Iasa pugnavitque contra eum
24 And Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as to the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strong.
24 a quo percussus est in ore gladii et possessa est terra eius ab Arnon usque Iebboc et filios Ammon quia forti praesidio tenebantur termini Ammanitarum
25 And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
25 tulit ergo Israhel omnes civitates eius et habitavit in urbibus Amorrei in Esebon scilicet et viculis eius
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, as far as the Arnon.
26 urbs Esebon fuit regis Seon Amorrei qui pugnavit contra regem Moab et tulit omnem terram quae dicionis illius fuerat usque Arnon
27 Therefore the ballad singers say, "Come to Heshbon, let it be built; let the city of Sihon be established.
27 idcirco dicitur in proverbio venite in Esebon aedificetur et construatur civitas Seon
28 For fire came out from Heshbon, flame from the city of Sihon. It devoured Ar of Moab, and swallowed the heights of the Arnon.
28 ignis egressus est de Esebon flamma de oppido Seon et devoravit Ar Moabitarum et habitatores excelsorum Arnon
29 Woe to you, O Moab! You are undone, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives, and his daughters captives, to an Amorite king, Sihon.
29 vae tibi Moab peristi popule Chamos dedit filios eius in fugam et filias in captivitatem regi Amorreorum Seon
30 So we overthrew them; Heshbon, as far as Dibon, perished; and we laid waste as far as Nophah; fire spread as far as Medeba."
30 iugum ipsorum disperiit ab Esebon usque Dibon lassi pervenerunt in Nophe et usque Medaba
31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.
31 habitavit itaque Israhel in terra Amorrei
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
32 misitque Moses qui explorarent Iazer cuius ceperunt viculos et possederunt habitatores
33 Then they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
33 verteruntque se et ascenderunt per viam Basan et occurrit eis Og rex Basan cum omni populo suo pugnaturus in Edrai
34 But the LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."
34 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen ne timeas eum quia in manu tua tradidi illum et omnem populum ac terram eius faciesque illi sicut fecisti Seon regi Amorreorum habitatori Esebon
35 So they defeated him and his sons and all his people, until he had no survivor left. And they possessed his land.
35 percusserunt igitur et hunc cum filiis suis universumque populum eius usque ad internicionem et possederunt terram illius
