1 Aisraeli anagonjetsa dziko lonse la kummawa kwa Yorodani, kuyambira ku chigwa cha Arinoni mpaka ku phiri la Herimoni pamodzi ndi dera lonse la kummawa kwa Araba. Iwo anatenga dzikoli kukhala lawo, ndipo mafumu a dzikoli anali awa:

The Israelis took control of the land that was east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon River gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north], including all the land on the eastern side of the Jordan [River] Valley. That land previously belonged to the two kings whose armies the Israelis defeated.

2 Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, amene ankakhala mu Hesiboni. Iye analamulira kuyambira ku Aroeri mzinda umene uli mʼmphepete mwa mtsinje wa Arinoni, mpaka ku mtsinje wa Yaboki, umene uli mʼmalire mwa Aamori, kuphatikizanso theka la dziko la Giliyadi.

One of them was Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. He lived in Heshbon [city] and ruled over the area from Aroer [town] along the Arnon River Gorge, north to the Jabbok River. His land started in the middle of the gorge, which was the border between his land and the land of the Ammon people-group. Sihon also ruled over [the southern] half of the Gilead region,

3 Iye ankalamuliranso dera la chigwa cha Yorodani kuyambira ku Nyanja ya Kinereti, kummawa ndi kumatsika mpaka ku Beti-Yesimoti, mzinda umene unali kummawa kwa Nyanja ya Mchere ndi kutsikabe kummwera mpaka pa tsinde pa phiri la Pisiga.

and over the land on the eastern side of the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [south] to the Dead Sea. He also ruled over the land [east of the Dead Sea] from Beth-Jeshimoth south to the side of Pisgah Mountain.

4 Ogi mfumu ya mzinda wa Basani, amene anali mmodzi mwa otsala mwa Arefaimu. Iye ankakhala ku Asiteroti ndi Ederi.

The other king whom the Israeli army defeated was Og, the king of the Bashan [region]. He was the last of the descendants of [the giant] Rapha. He ruled that land, living alternately in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities].

5 Dera la ufumu wake linafika ku phiri la Herimoni, ku Saleka ndi dziko lonse la Basani mpaka ku malire ndi anthu a ku Gesuri Makati. Ufumu wake unaphatikizanso theka la Giliyadi mpaka ku malire a mfumu Sihoni ya ku Hesiboni.

He ruled over the area from Hermon Mountain and Salecah [in the north], and over all the Bashan area in the east, and to the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah to the west. Og ruled [the northern] half of the Gilead region, as far as the border of the land ruled by King Sihon.

6 Mose mtumiki wa Yehova ndi Aisraeli anawagonjetsa ndipo anapereka dziko lawo kwa anthu a fuko la Rubeni, fuko la Gadi ndi theka la fuko la Manase kuti chikhale cholowa chawo.

Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], and all the Israeli army defeated the armies of those kings. Then Moses gave that land to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh.

7 Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse anagonjetsa mafumu onse okhala kumadzulo kwa mtsinje wa Yorodani kuyambira ku Baala-Gadi, ku chigwa cha Lebanoni mpaka ku phiri la Halaki, kumapita cha ku Seiri. Yoswa anagawira dzikolo mafuko a Israeli kuti likhale cholowa chawo.

Joshua and the Israeli army also defeated kings who ruled over the land on the west side of the Jordan [River]. He gave that land to the Israeli people, dividing it among the other tribes. That land was between Baal-Gad [city] in the Lebanon Valley [in the far north all the way south] to Halak Mountain, which is near the land of the Edom people-group.

8 Dziko limeneli linali dera la ku mapiri, chigwa cha kumadzulo, chigwa cha Yorodani, ku matsitso a kummawa, ndi dziko la chipululu la kummwera. Amene ankakhala mʼdzikoli anali Ahiti, Aamori, Akanaani, Aperezi, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi. Mafumu ake anali awa:

That land included the mountains, the western hilly area, the Jordan [River] Valley, the [western] slopes of the mountains, the desert [in Judea], and the Negev [desert in the south]. That whole area was the land where the Heth, Amor, Canaan, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups lived. The Israeli army defeated the armies of the kings of each of these cities:
