Numero 21:1-35
21 Mambo wa Akanani wa ku Aradhi,+ wakuti akakhala ku Nejebhu, abva kuti Aizraeli akhabwera na njira ya ku Atarimu, penepo iye aenda kamenyana na Aizraeli, iye aphata anthu angasi mbaenda nawo ku dziko yace.
2 Natenepa Aizraeli acita pikiro kuna Yahova: “Mungapereka mbumba ineyi mʼmanja mwathu, mwakukhonda penula, ife tinadzafudza mizinda yawo.”
3 Penepo Yahova abva phembo ya Aizraeli, mbapereka Akanani mʼmanja mwawo. Aizraeli afudza mbumba ineyi pabodzi na mizinda yawo. Na thangwi ineyi, cisa ceneci acithula Orma.*+
4 Pikhapitiriza iwo na ulendo wawo buluka Kuphiri ya Ori,+ mbapita na njira ya Bara Yakufuira toera kucalira dziko ya Edhomi,+ mbumba yaneta na ulendo.
5 Mbumba yapitiriza kudungunyira Mulungu na Mose,+ mbilonga: “Thangwi yanji mwatibulusa mu dziko ya Ejitu toera tifere nʼthando? Pano nkhabe cakudya nee madzi,+ pontho ife taneta* na cakudya+ ceneci cakupwazika.”
6 Penepo Yahova atumiza nyoka pakati pa mbumba, nyoka zapitiriza kuluma anthu, na thangwi ineyi Aizraeli azinji afa.+
7 Natenepa mbumba yaenda kuna Mose, mbilonga: “Tadawa pidadungunyira ife Yahova na iwe.+ Dembetera Yahova toera abuluse nyoka zenezi pakati pathu.” Penepo Mose adembetera kuna Mulungu thangwi ya mbumba.+
8 Natenepa, Yahova apanga Mose: “Cita cinthu cakulandana* na nyoka yakugopswa,* mbuimanika pamuti. Penepo munthu angalumwa, anadzayangʼana nyoka ineyi toera apitirize kukhala na umaso.”
9 Penepo pene Mose acita nyoka ya nkuwa,+ mbaimanika pamuti,+ ndzidzi onsene ukhalumwa munthu na nyoka mbayangʼana nyoka ya nkuwa, iye akhapulumuka.+
10 Mukupita kwa ndzidzi, Aizraeli abuluka kweneko, mbamanga misasa yawo ku Obhoti.+
11 Iwo abuluka ku Obhoti mbamanga misasa yawo ku Ije-Abharimu,+ nʼthando inagumanika kutsogolo kwa Moabhe, kumabulukiro a dzuwa.
12 Pidabuluka iwo kweneko aenda kamanga misasa yawo dhuzi na Gowa* ya Zeredhi.+
13 Iwo abuluka kweneko mbamanga misasa yawo kucisa ca Arnoni,+ cinagumanika nʼthando inatomera kumadire a dziko ya Aamori, thangwi cisa ca Arnoni ndi madire a cisa ca Moabhe, cisagumanika pakati pa Moabhe na Amori.
14 Na thangwi ineyi, bukhu ya Nkhondo za Yahova isalonga kuti: “Vaebhi ku Sufa, magowa* a Arnoni,
15 materero a magowa* anatcitira ku nzinda wa Ari, unagumanika kumadire a Moabhe.”
16 Buluka penepo iwo aenda ku Bheeri. Kweneko ndiko kukhali ncera udalonga Yahova kuna Mose kuti: “Gumanya mbumba toera ndiipase madzi.”
17 Pa ndzidzi unoyu, Aizraeli aimba nyimbo iyi:
“Bulusa madzi, iwe ncera! Ntawireni!*
18 Iwe ncera udakumbwa na ana a mambo, udafukulwa na anthu akulemedzeka,Na ndodo ya nkulu wa anyankhondo, na ndodo zawo.”
Penepo iwo abuluka mbaenda ku Matana,
19 pidabuluka iwo ku Matana aenda ku Naaliyeli, pidabuluka iwo ku Naaliyeli aenda ku Bhamoti.+
20 Iwo abuluka ku Bhamoti mbaenda ku gowa inagumanika kucisa ca Moabhe,+ padzulu pa nthunda ya Pisga,+ kwakuti munthu anakwanisa kuona cisa ca Yesimoni.*+
21 Aizraeli atumiza mphangwa kuna Sihoni mambo wa Aamori, mbalonga:+
22 “Tisiyeni tipite na mu dziko yanu. Nee tinapita na mʼminda idamala imwe kubzwala peno mʼminda yanu ya mauva. Nee tinamwa madzi a mʼmicera yanu. Tinapita na mu Nseu Ukulu,* mpaka kupiringana cisa+ canu.”
23 Mbwenye Sihoni nee atawirisa kuti Aizraeli apite na mucisa cace. Iye agumanya anyankhondo ace onsene mbaenda kamenyana na Aizraeli nʼthando. Pidafika iye ku Yaazi, atoma kumenyana na Aizraeli.+
24 Mbwenye Aizraeli ankunda na supada,+ mbakwata dziko+ yace, kutomera ku Arnoni+ mpaka ku Yaboki,+ cifupi na Aamoni, thangwi cisa ca Yazeri+ cikhacita madire na cisa ca Aamoni.+
25 Natenepa, Aizraeli akwata mizinda yonsene mbatoma kukhala mʼmizinda yonsene ya Aamori+ kuphatanizambo Esibhoni na mizinda yonsene ikhali nʼkhundu mwace.
26 Thangwi Esibhoni ukhali nzinda wa Sihoni mambo wa Aamori, adamenyana na mambo wa Moabhe, mbakwata dziko yace yonsene mpaka ku Arnoni.
27 Ndi pyenepi pidatomesa nsangani uyu wakupwaza nawo:
“Bwerani ku Esibhoni.
Nzinda wa Sihoni mbumangwe, pontho mbukhazikike mwakuwanga.
28 Thangwi ku Esibhoni kwabuluka moto; mu nzinda wa Sihoni mwabuluka malirimi a moto.
Mbufudza nzinda wa Ari ku Moabhe, wafudza anaciro a nthunda za cisa ca Arnoni.
29 Dzedze kuna iwe Moabhe! Inde, munadzafudzwa imwe mbumba yaKemosi!+
Anace amuna anaaona mbakathawa mu dziko, anace akazi mbakwatwa toera aperekwe kuna Sihoni mambo wa Aamori.
30 Tendeni tialase na mapswimo;Esibhoni anadzafudzwa mpaka ku Dhibhoni;+Tendeni tiufudze mpaka ku Nofa;Moto unamwazika mpaka ku Medhebha.”+
31 Natenepa, Aizraeli atoma kukhala mu dziko ya Aamori.
32 Kweneko Mose atuma amuna toera aende kaona cisa ca Yazeri.+ Aizraeli akunda mizinda ya nʼkhundu mwa nzinda unoyu, mbathamangisa Aamori akhali kweneko.
33 Buluka penepo, iwo azungunuka, mbakwira na Njira ya ku Bhasani. Penepo Ogi+ mambo wa ku Bhasani abwera na anyankhondo ace onsene toera kumenyana na iwo ku Edhirei.+
34 Yahova apanga Mose: “Leka kunʼgopa,+ thangwi ine ndinampereka mʼmanja+ mwako pabodzi na mbumba yace yonsene na dziko yace. Iwe unadzacita kuna iye pire pidacita iwe kuna Sihoni mambo wa Aamori, wakuti akakhala ku Esibhoni.”+
35 Pakumalisa, Aizraeli apha iye na anace pabodzi na mbumba yace yonsene, mpaka kumala onsene, mbakhonda kusala munthu adapulumuka,+ natenepa iwo akwata dziko+ yace.
