Numbers 21


font
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition LXX
1 When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the Negeb, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.1 και ηκουσεν ο χανανις βασιλευς αραδ ο κατοικων κατα την ερημον ηλθεν γαρ ισραηλ οδον αθαριν και επολεμησεν προς ισραηλ και κατεπρονομευσαν εξ αυτων αιχμαλωσιαν
2 And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, "If thou wilt indeed give this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."2 και ηυξατο ισραηλ ευχην κυριω και ειπεν εαν μοι παραδως τον λαον τουτον υποχειριον αναθεματιω αυτον και τας πολεις αυτου
3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and gave over the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities; so the name of the place was called Hormah.3 και εισηκουσεν κυριος της φωνης ισραηλ και παρεδωκεν τον χανανιν υποχειριον αυτου και ανεθεματισεν αυτον και τας πολεις αυτου και επεκαλεσαν το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου αναθεμα
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 και απαραντες εξ ωρ του ορους οδον επι θαλασσαν ερυθραν περιεκυκλωσαν γην εδωμ και ωλιγοψυχησεν ο λαος εν τη οδω
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 και κατελαλει ο λαος προς τον θεον και κατα μωυση λεγοντες ινα τι εξηγαγες ημας εξ αιγυπτου αποκτειναι ημας εν τη ερημω οτι ουκ εστιν αρτος ουδε υδωρ η δε ψυχη ημων προσωχθισεν εν τω αρτω τω διακενω
6 Then the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.6 και απεστειλεν κυριος εις τον λαον τους οφεις τους θανατουντας και εδακνον τον λαον και απεθανεν λαος πολυς των υιων ισραηλ
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 και παραγενομενος ο λαος προς μωυσην ελεγον οτι ημαρτομεν οτι κατελαλησαμεν κατα του κυριου και κατα σου ευξαι ουν προς κυριον και αφελετω αφ' ημων τον οφιν και ηυξατο μωυσης προς κυριον περι του λαου
8 And the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live."8 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην ποιησον σεαυτω οφιν και θες αυτον επι σημειου και εσται εαν δακη οφις ανθρωπον πας ο δεδηγμενος ιδων αυτον ζησεται
9 So Moses made a bronze serpent, and set it on a pole; and if a serpent bit any man, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.9 και εποιησεν μωυσης οφιν χαλκουν και εστησεν αυτον επι σημειου και εγενετο οταν εδακνεν οφις ανθρωπον και επεβλεψεν επι τον οφιν τον χαλκουν και εζη
10 And the people of Israel set out, and encamped in Oboth.10 και απηραν οι υιοι ισραηλ και παρενεβαλον εν ωβωθ
11 And they set out from Oboth, and encamped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness which is opposite Moab, toward the sunrise.11 και εξαραντες εξ ωβωθ παρενεβαλον εν αχελγαι εκ του περαν εν τη ερημω η εστιν κατα προσωπον μωαβ κατα ανατολας ηλιου
12 From there they set out, and encamped in the Valley of Zered.12 εκειθεν απηραν και παρενεβαλον εις φαραγγα ζαρετ
13 From there they set out, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that extends from the boundary of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the boundary of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.13 και εκειθεν απαραντες παρενεβαλον εις το περαν αρνων εν τη ερημω το εξεχον απο των οριων των αμορραιων εστιν γαρ αρνων ορια μωαβ ανα μεσον μωαβ και ανα μεσον του αμορραιου
14 Wherefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD, "Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon,14 δια τουτο λεγεται εν βιβλιω πολεμος του κυριου την ζωοβ εφλογισεν και τους χειμαρρους αρνων
15 and the slope of the valleys that extends to the seat of Ar, and leans to the border of Moab."15 και τους χειμαρρους κατεστησεν κατοικισαι ηρ και προσκειται τοις οριοις μωαβ
16 And from there they continued to Beer; that is the well of which the LORD said to Moses, "Gather the people together, and I will give them water."16 και εκειθεν το φρεαρ τουτο εστιν το φρεαρ ο ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην συναγαγε τον λαον και δωσω αυτοις υδωρ πιειν
17 Then Israel sang this song: "Spring up, O well!--Sing to it!--17 τοτε ησεν ισραηλ το ασμα τουτο επι του φρεατος εξαρχετε αυτω
18 the well which the princes dug, which the nobles of the people delved, with the scepter and with their staves." And from the wilderness they went on to Mattanah,18 φρεαρ ωρυξαν αυτο αρχοντες εξελατομησαν αυτο βασιλεις εθνων εν τη βασιλεια αυτων εν τω κυριευσαι αυτων και απο φρεατος εις μανθαναιν
19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,19 και απο μανθαναιν εις νααλιηλ και απο νααλιηλ εις βαμωθ
20 and from Bamoth to the valley lying in the region of Moab by the top of Pisgah which looks down upon the desert.20 και απο βαμωθ εις ναπην η εστιν εν τω πεδιω μωαβ απο κορυφης του λελαξευμενου το βλεπον κατα προσωπον της ερημου
21 Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,21 και απεστειλεν μωυσης πρεσβεις προς σηων βασιλεα αμορραιων λογοις ειρηνικοις λεγων
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 παρελευσομεθα δια της γης σου τη οδω πορευσομεθα ουκ εκκλινουμεν ουτε εις αγρον ουτε εις αμπελωνα ου πιομεθα υδωρ εκ φρεατος σου οδω βασιλικη πορευσομεθα εως παρελθωμεν τα ορια σου
23 But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. He gathered all his men together, and went out against Israel to the wilderness, and came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.23 και ουκ εδωκεν σηων τω ισραηλ παρελθειν δια των οριων αυτου και συνηγαγεν σηων παντα τον λαον αυτου και εξηλθεν παραταξασθαι τω ισραηλ εις την ερημον και ηλθεν εις ιασσα και παρεταξατο τω ισραηλ
24 And Israel slew 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 Jazer was the boundary of the Ammonites.24 και επαταξεν αυτον ισραηλ φονω μαχαιρης και κατεκυριευσαν της γης αυτου απο αρνων εως ιαβοκ εως υιων αμμαν οτι ιαζηρ ορια υιων αμμων εστιν
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 και ελαβεν ισραηλ πασας τας πολεις ταυτας και κατωκησεν ισραηλ εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν των αμορραιων εν εσεβων και εν πασαις ταις συγκυρουσαις αυτη
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 εστιν γαρ εσεβων πολις σηων του βασιλεως των αμορραιων και ουτος επολεμησεν βασιλεα μωαβ το προτερον και ελαβον πασαν την γην αυτου απο αροηρ εως αρνων
27 Therefore the ballad singers say, "Come to Heshbon, let it be built, let the city of Sihon be established.27 δια τουτο ερουσιν οι αινιγματισται ελθετε εις εσεβων ινα οικοδομηθη και κατασκευασθη πολις σηων
28 For fire went forth from Heshbon, flame from the city of Sihon. It devoured Ar of Moab, the lords of the heights of the Arnon.28 οτι πυρ εξηλθεν εξ εσεβων φλοξ εκ πολεως σηων και κατεφαγεν εως μωαβ και κατεπιεν στηλας αρνων
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 ουαι σοι μωαβ απωλου λαος χαμως απεδοθησαν οι υιοι αυτων διασωζεσθαι και αι θυγατερες αυτων αιχμαλωτοι τω βασιλει των αμορραιων σηων
30 So their posterity perished from Heshbon, as far as Dibon, and we laid waste until fire spread to Medeba."30 και το σπερμα αυτων απολειται εσεβων εως δαιβων και αι γυναικες ετι προσεξεκαυσαν πυρ επι μωαβ
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.31 κατωκησεν δε ισραηλ εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν των αμορραιων
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its villages, and dispossessed the Amorites that were there.32 και απεστειλεν μωυσης κατασκεψασθαι την ιαζηρ και κατελαβοντο αυτην και τας κωμας αυτης και εξεβαλον τον αμορραιον τον κατοικουντα εκει
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 Edre-i.33 και επιστρεψαντες ανεβησαν οδον την εις βασαν και εξηλθεν ωγ βασιλευς της βασαν εις συναντησιν αυτοις και πας ο λαος αυτου εις πολεμον εις εδραιν
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 dwelt at Heshbon."34 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην μη φοβηθης αυτον οτι εις τας χειρας σου παραδεδωκα αυτον και παντα τον λαον αυτου και πασαν την γην αυτου και ποιησεις αυτω καθως εποιησας τω σηων βασιλει των αμορραιων ος κατωκει εν εσεβων
35 So they slew him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was not one survivor left to him; and they possessed his land.35 και επαταξεν αυτον και τους υιους αυτου και παντα τον λαον αυτου εως του μη καταλιπειν αυτου ζωγρειαν και εκληρονομησαν την γην αυτων
