Olrhaepnah 2
1 Te phoeiah, BOEIPAloh kai taengah a thui vanbangla n'hooiuh tih carhaek li long kah khosoek la n'caehuh phoeiah Seir tlang n'hil uh khaw khohninloh sencoeng.
“Then we turned around and went through the desert toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba), as Yahweh told us to do, and we wandered in the Edom area for many years.
2 Te dongah BOEIPAloh kai m'voek tih,
Then Yahweh said to me,
3 'Hekah tlang khaw puet na hiluh coeng. Te dongah tlangpuei ben la maeluh laeh.
‘You have been wandering around this hilly area for a long enough time. Now turn [and travel] toward the north.
4 Na pilnam te khaw uen lamtah namamihloh thuipah. Seir ahaka om na manuca Esau koca rhoek kah khorhiaka paan nangmih te n'rhih uh ni. Te dongah boeih ngaithuenuh.
And tell the people that they are about to travel near the land that belongs to the descendants of Esau, who are also descendants of Isaac. They live in the [hilly] Edom region. They will be afraid of you,
5 Amih kah khohmuen te nangmih taengah kam paek pawt oeh dongah amih te huek boeh. Na kho khophakaha laeh pataeng khaw Seir tlang te tah Esau kah rho lamni ka paekcoeng.
but do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you even a tiny bit [HYP] of their land. I have given that land to the descendants of Esau.
6 Buh khaw amih taengah tah tangka neh laiuh lamtah cauh. Tui pataeng khaw amih taengah tah tangka neh laiuh lamtah ouh.
[When you travel near their land], buy food and water from them.’
7 Hekah khosoek khohamah na van uh te BOEIPA na Pathenloha mingtih na kut dongkah bitat boeih dongah BOEIPA na Pathenloh na yoe a then sak. Tahae due kum sawmli khuiah nangmih te hno loh m'vaitah moenih,’ a ti.
Do not forget that Yahweh our God has blessed you in everything that you [SYN] have done. He knows [what has happened to you while] you have wandered in this huge desert. But he has been with you during those 40 years, and as a result you have had everything that you needed [LIT].
8 Te dongah Seir ah kho aka sa mah manuca Esau kocarhoek te m'poeng uh tih kolken longpuei Elath neh Eziongeber lamkah n'hooiuh tih Moab khosoek longpuei la n'khumuh.
So we continued to travel. We avoided going through the hilly area where the descendants of Esau live. We stayed away from the road through the Jordan [River] Valley past Ezion-Geber and Elath [towns], and we turned and traveled northeast toward the desert area where the Moab people-group lives.
9 Tedae BOEIPAloh kai taengah, 'Ar he tah Lot kocarhoek taengah rho la ka paek coeng dongah anih kah khohmuen rho te nangmih kam pae mahpawh. Te dongah Moab te dum boel lamtah amih te caem nen khaw huek boeh.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not bother/harass the people of Moab, and do not start to fight against them, because I am not going to give you any of their land. [Do not forget that] they are descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot, and I have given to them Ar [city, their capital, and the other areas in that country].’”
10 Hlamat lamkah anih khuiahaka om Emim pilnam khaw Anakim bangla tlung khaw tlung, ping khaw ping tih bahoeng sang.
A large group of giants called Emim formerly lived there. They were strong and numerous, and as tall as the giants who were descendants of Anak.
11 Raphate khaw Anakim bangla a poekuh dongah amih te Moabloh Emim la a khueuh.
They and the descendants of Anak are also called the Repha giants, but the people of Moab call them Emim.
12 Seir ah khaw a hmai ah Khori rhoek kho a sakuh coeng. Tedae Esau ca rhoek loh amih te a huuluh. Amihte a mikhmuh lamloh mitmoenguh. A rho khohmuen ah Israel saii bangla amih yueng la kho a sakuh. Tete BOEIPAloh amih taengah a paek.
The Hor people-group also formerly lived in the Edom area, but the descendants of Esau chased them out. They defeated and killed them and (settled in/occupied) their land, just as the Israeli people later expelled their enemies from the land that Yahweh gave to them.
13 Tahaeah thoouh lamtah Zered soklong te kan uh,’ a ti dongah Zered soklong te n'kanuh.
[I also said to the Israeli people], “Then we crossed the Zered Gorge, as Yahweh told us to do.
14 Kadeshbarnea lamkah n'cet uh tih Zered soklong m'poenguh duela a tueloh sawmthum neh kum rhet di coeng. BOEIPAloha caeng vanbangla rhaehhmuen lamkah thawnpuei caemtloek hlangrhoekkhaw boeih khumuh coeng.
It had been thirty-eight years from the time we first left Kadesh-Barnea until we crossed the Zered Gorge. During those years, all the Israeli (fighting men/soldiers) of that generation had died, as Yahweh had vowed would happen.
15 Amih a mitmoenguh duela rhaehhmuen khui lamkah amihaka khawkkhek la BOEIPA kut khaw amih taengah om.
They died because Yahweh opposed them, until he had gotten rid of all of them.
16 Pilnam khui lamkah caemtloek hlang boeih khaw duek tih aka boeih bangla omcoeng.
After all the men who had been old enough to fight in wars had died [DOU],
17 Te dongah BOEIPAloh kai m'voek tih,
Yahweh said to me,
18 'Moab khorhi kah Ar te tihnin ah vawl poenglaeh.
‘Today you all must cross the border into the Moab region, near Ar, [their capital city].
19 Ammon kocarhoek taenglana pawk vaengah amihte dum boeh. Caemtloek nen khaw amih te huek boeh. Ammon koca rhoek kah khohmuen te nang taengah rho la kam paek moenih Lot kocarhoek hamni rho la ka paek.
When you come near the border of the land where the Ammon people-group live, do not bother/harass them or start to fight against them. They are also descendants of Lot, so I am not going to give you any of the land that I have given to them.’”
20 Tete a khuiah lamhma la Rapha rhoek a omuh van coeng dongah Rapha khohmuen la a poek. Tedae Ammoni rhoek longtah amih te Zamzomi la a khueuh.
That region is also called the land of the Repha giants, who formerly lived there. The Ammon people-group call them the Zamzum group.
21 Amih te Anakim bangla pilnamloh len khaw len, yet khaw yet tih sang khaw sang dae amamih mikhmuh ah BOEIPAloh amih te a mitmoeng sak tih a haek dongah amih yueng la Ammon rhoek loh kho a sakuh.
They were a large and powerful group, who were as tall as the descendants of Anak. But Yahweh got rid of them, and the Ammon people-group expelled them and took their land away from them and started to live there.
22 Seir kahaka omte Esau kocarhoek ham a saii pah tih Khori rhoek a mit sak bangla amih khaw a mikhmuh ah a haekuh dongah tihnin due amih yueng la Esau koca rhoek loh kho a sakuh.
Yahweh had done the same thing for the descendants of Esau who live in the hilly area of Edom. He got rid of the Hor people-group, with the result that the Edom people-group took their land from them and started to live there. They still live there.
23 Gaza vongup khui duelaaka om Avvii khaw Kaptor lamkahaka lo Kapthorim rhoek loh a mit sak tih amih yueng la tloep ombal.
People who came from Crete [Island] got rid of the Av group [who previously lived in the land close to the Mediterranean Sea], as far south as Gaza. They took their land from them and started to live there.
24 Thoouh laeh. Cetuh lamtah Arnon soklong ke katuh. Na kut dongah kam paek Amori kah Heshbon manghai Sihon te so lamtah a khohmuen te pahoi huul. Te phoeiah anih te caemtloek neh huek.
“[After we had gone through the Moab region], Yahweh said to us, ‘Now cross the Arnon [River]. I will help you to defeat [IDM] [the army of] Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lives in Heshbon [city]. So attack their army and start to take their land from them.
25 Tihninah he ka tong vetih nang ham birhihnah ka khueh ni. Vaan hmui boeih kah pilnam rhoek loh a mikhmuh ah nang kah hinyahnah olthang a yaakuh vaengah tlaiuh vetih na mikhmuh ah kilkul uh ni.
Today I will begin to cause everyone, everywhere, to be afraid of you. Everyone who hears about you will tremble and be terrified.’
26 Te phoeiah Kedemoth khosoek lamkah puencawn rhoekte Heshbon manghai Sihon taengla rhoepnah olka neh ka tueih tih,
Then I sent messengers to go from the desert to King Sihon at Heshbon. I told them to give this peaceful message to the king:
27 'Na khohmuen long ah ka lan mai eh. Longpuei pakhat te ka vai vetih banvoei bantang la ka phael mahpawh.
‘Please allow us to travel through your land. We [promise that we] will stay on the road; we will not turn off to the right or to the left.
28 Buh khaw kai taengah tangka neh yoi lamtah ka ca eh. Tui khaw kai taengah tangka la han yoi lamtah ka o eh. Ka kho nen mah dawk ka lan mai eh.
We will pay for any food or water that you allow us to buy. We want only to walk through your country,
29 BOEIPA ka Pathenloh kaimih taengah m'paek khohmuen la Jordan lamkah ka lanuh vaengah Seir ahaka om Esau kocarhoek neh Ar ahaka om Moab rhoek loh kai ham a saiiuh bangla sai van mai,’ ka tinah.
until we cross the Jordan [River] into the land that Yahweh our God is giving to us. Do for us just as the descendants of Esau who live in the Edom area and the Moab people-group did for us when they allowed us to go through their areas.’
30 Te vaengah mamih lan sak ham te Heshbon manghai Sihonloha kohuem pawh. Tedae tihnin kah bangla BOEIPA na Pathenloh nang kut dongah paek a ngaih dongah ni Sihon kah mueihla te a mangkhak sak tih a thinko khaw a ning sak.
But King Sihon would not allow us to go through his country. That was because Yahweh our God caused him to be stubborn [IDM]. The result was that Yahweh enabled us to defeat his army and take his land [IDM], which we still live in.
31 Tedae BOEIPAloh kai taengah, 'So lah, Sihon neh anih khohmuen te na mikhmuh ah tloeng hamla ka tawncoeng. A khohmuen te pang pah ham tawn pah lamtah huul pah,’ a ti.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Listen! I am about to allow you to defeat Sihon’s [army] and to take the people’s land from them. So start to occupy it!’
32 Te vaengah Sihon neh amah pilnam pumloh caemtloek neh mamih doe ham Jahaz ah ha pawk.
Then Sihon came out [of the city] with all his army to fight against us at Jahaz [town].
33 Tedae anihte mamih kah BOEIPA Pathenloh mamih mikhmuh la han thak dongah amah neh anih koca rhoek kah a ca khaw, a pilnam pum khaw n'tloekuh.
But God enabled us to defeat [DOU] them, and we killed Sihon and his sons and all his soldiers.
34 Te vaengah a khopuei boeih te m'buem pa uh tih khopuei takuem te n'thupuh. Huta tongpa neh camoe rhaengnaeng khaw m'paihuh pawh.
We captured all their cities and destroyed them all. We killed all the men and women and children; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
35 Tedae rhamsa te mamih ham m'poelyoeuh tih khopueirhoek te kutbuem la m'buemuh.
We took the valuable things that were in the cities that we captured and also their cattle.
36 Arnon soklong tuikung kah Aroer lamkah soklong khopuei Gilead pataeng khaw mamih hamaka phoeng khorha la om pawh. Tedae mamih kah BOEIPA Pathenloh mamih mikhmuh ah boeih a tloeng.
Yahweh our God enabled us to capture [IDM] all their towns from Aroer [in the south], which is at the edge of the Arnon River [Valley], to the Gilead [region in the north]. Some of their cities had [walls around them], but we were able to [climb over them].
37 Tedae Ammon koca rhoek kah khohmuen tah mamih BOEIPA Pathenkaha uen vanbangla Jabbok soklong paem boeih neh tlang kah khopuei boeih khaw benuh boeh.
But we did not go near the area where the Ammon people-group live, or the banks of the Jabbok riverbed, or the towns in the hilly area, or any other place where Yahweh our God told us not to go.”
