ΑΡΙΘΜΟΙ - Numeri - Numbers 21

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
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	1 When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negeb, heard that the Israelites were coming along the way of Atharim, he engaged them in battle and took some of them captive.
2 και ηυξατο ισραηλ ευχην κυριω και ειπεν εαν μοι παραδως τον λαον τουτον υποχειριον αναθεματιω αυτον και τας πολεις αυτου	2 Israel then made this vow to the LORD: "If you deliver this people into my hand, I will doom their cities."
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	3 Later, when the LORD heeded Israel's prayer and delivered up the Canaanites, they doomed them and their cities. Hence that place was named Hormah.
4 και απαραντες εξ ωρ του ορους οδον επι θαλασσαν ερυθραν περιεκυκλωσαν γην εδωμ και ωλιγοψυχησεν ο λαος εν τη οδω	4 From Mount Hor they set out on the Red Sea road, to by-pass the land of Edom. But with their patience worn out by the journey,
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	5 the people complained against God and Moses, "Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in this desert, where there is no food or water? We are disgusted with this wretched food!"
6 και απεστειλεν κυριος εις τον λαον τους οφεις τους θανατουντας και εδακνον τον λαον και απεθανεν λαος πολυς των υιων ισραηλ	6 In punishment the LORD sent among the people saraph serpents, which bit the people so that many of them died.
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	7 Then the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned in complaining against the LORD and you. Pray the LORD to take the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people,
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	8 and the LORD said to Moses, "Make a saraph and mount it on a pole, and if anyone who has been bitten looks at it, he will recover."
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	9 Moses accordingly made a bronze serpent and mounted it on a pole, and whenever anyone who had been bitten by a serpent looked at the bronze serpent, he recovered.
10 και απηραν οι υιοι ισραηλ και παρενεβαλον εν ωβωθ	10 The Israelites moved on and encamped in Oboth.
11 και εξαραντες εξ ωβωθ παρενεβαλον εν αχελγαι εκ του περαν εν τη ερημω η εστιν κατα προσωπον μωαβ κατα ανατολας ηλιου	11 Setting out from Oboth, they encamped in Iye-abarim in the desert fronting Moab on the east.
12 εκειθεν απηραν και παρενεβαλον εις φαραγγα ζαρετ	12 Setting out from there, they encamped in the Wadi Zered.
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	13 Setting out from there, they encamped on the other side of the Arnon, in the desert that extends from the territory of the Amorites; for the Arnon forms Moab's boundary with the Amorites.
14 δια τουτο λεγεται εν βιβλιω πολεμος του κυριου την ζωοβ εφλογισεν και τους χειμαρρους αρνων	14 Hence it is said in the "Book of the Wars of the LORD": "Waheb in Suphah and the wadies,
15 και τους χειμαρρους κατεστησεν κατοικισαι ηρ και προσκειται τοις οριοις μωαβ	15 Arnon and the wadi gorges That reach back toward the site of Ar and slant to the border of Moab."
16 και εκειθεν το φρεαρ τουτο εστιν το φρεαρ ο ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην συναγαγε τον λαον και δωσω αυτοις υδωρ πιειν	16 From there they went to Beer, where there was the well of which the LORD said to Moses, "Bring the people together, and I will give them water."
17 τοτε ησεν ισραηλ το ασμα τουτο επι του φρεατος εξαρχετε αυτω	17 Then it was that Israel sang this song: "Spring up, O well!--so sing to it--
18 φρεαρ ωρυξαν αυτο αρχοντες εξελατομησαν αυτο βασιλεις εθνων εν τη βασιλεια αυτων εν τω κυριευσαι αυτων και απο φρεατος εις μανθαναιν	18 The well that the princes sank, that the nobles of the people dug, with their scepters and their staffs." From Beer they went to Mattanah,
19 και απο μανθαναιν εις νααλιηλ και απο νααλιηλ εις βαμωθ	19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
20 και απο βαμωθ εις ναπην η εστιν εν τω πεδιω μωαβ απο κορυφης του λελαξευμενου το βλεπον κατα προσωπον της ερημου	20 from Bamoth to the cleft in the plateau of Moab at the headland of Pisgah that overlooks Jeshimon.
21 και απεστειλεν μωυσης πρεσβεις προς σηων βασιλεα αμορραιων λογοις ειρηνικοις λεγων	21 Now Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, with the message,
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	22 "Let us pass through your country. We will not turn aside into any field or vineyard, nor will we drink any well water, but we will go straight along the royal road until we have passed through your territory."
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	23 Sihon, however, would not let Israel pass through his territory, but mustered all his forces and advanced into the desert against Israel. When he reached Jahaz, he engaged Israel in battle.
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	24 But Israel defeated him at the point of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok and as far as the country of the Ammonites, whose boundary was at Jazer.
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	25 Israel seized all the towns here and settled in these towns of the Amorites, in Heshbon and all its dependencies.
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	26 Now Heshbon was the capital of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had seized all his land from Jazer to the Arnon.
27 δια τουτο ερουσιν οι αινιγματισται ελθετε εις εσεβων ινα οικοδομηθη και κατασκευασθη πολις σηων	27 That is why the poets say: "Come to Heshbon, let it be rebuilt, let Sihon's capital be firmly constructed.
28 οτι πυρ εξηλθεν εξ εσεβων φλοξ εκ πολεως σηων και κατεφαγεν εως μωαβ και κατεπιεν στηλας αρνων	28 For fire went forth from Heshbon and a blaze from the city of Sihon; It consumed the cities of Moab and swallowed up the high places of the Arnon.
29 ουαι σοι μωαβ απωλου λαος χαμως απεδοθησαν οι υιοι αυτων διασωζεσθαι και αι θυγατερες αυτων αιχμαλωτοι τω βασιλει των αμορραιων σηων	29 Woe to you, O Moab! You are ruined, O people of Chemosh! He let his sons become fugitives and his daughters be taken captive by the Amorite king Sihon.
30 και το σπερμα αυτων απολειται εσεβων εως δαιβων και αι γυναικες ετι προσεξεκαυσαν πυρ επι μωαβ	30 Their plowland is ruined from Heshbon to Dibon; Ar is laid waste; fires blaze as far as Medeba."
31 κατωκησεν δε ισραηλ εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν των αμορραιων	31 When Israel had settled in the land of the Amorites,
32 και απεστειλεν μωυσης κατασκεψασθαι την ιαζηρ και κατελαβοντο αυτην και τας κωμας αυτης και εξεβαλον τον αμορραιον τον κατοικουντα εκει	32 Moses sent spies to Jazer; Israel then captured it with its dependencies and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.
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	33 Then they turned and went up along the road to Bashan. But Og, king of Bashan, advanced against them with all his people to give battle at Edrei.
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	34 The LORD, however, said to Moses, "Do not be afraid of him; for into your hand I will deliver him with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon."
35 και επαταξεν αυτον και τους υιους αυτου και παντα τον λαον αυτου εως του μη καταλιπειν αυτου ζωγρειαν και εκληρονομησαν την γην αυτων	35 So they struck him down with his sons and all his people, until not a survivor was left to him, and they took possession of his land.
