1 Bashan longpuei la n'hooi uh tih n'caeh uh vaengah khaw Bashan manghai Oga neh a pilnam pum loh caemtloek neh mamih doe ham Edrei ah ha pawk.
“Then we turned [north] and went toward the Bashan region. Og, the king [of that area], and all his soldiers marched [south] to fight against us at Edrei [town].
2 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh kai te, 'Anih neh a pilnam pum khaw, a khohmuen khaw, na kut ah kam paek coeng. Anih te rhih boeh. Heshbon ah aka ngol Amori manghai Sihon taengkah na saii bangla anih taengah saii,’ a ti.
Yahweh said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him, because I will enable your [army] to defeat [MTY] him and all his army and to capture all their land. Do to him what you did to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who ruled in Heshbon [city].’
3 Bashan manghai Oga neh a pilnam boeih te khaw mamih kut dongah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA loh m'paek van coeng dongah rhaengnaeng a om pawt hil anih te n'tloek uh.
“So Yahweh enabled us to defeat [IDM] King Og and all his army. We killed them all; we did not allow any of them to remain alive.
4 Te vaeng tue ah a khopuei rhoek boeih te n'buem uh tih amih taeng lamloh n'loh mueh khorha pakhat khaw om pawh. Bashan ah Oga ram Argob paeng boeih he khopuei sawmrhuk lo.
There were 60 cities in that region near Argob, in King Og’s kingdom of Bashan. But we captured all of them
5 Tekah khopuei boeih kah vongtung tah cak tih thohkhaih neh thohkalh khaw sang. Khopuei khat bueng lamloh vangcahlang khaw muep ping.
All those cities had high walls [around them] with gates and bars. We also captured many villages that did not have walls [around them].
6 Heshbon manghai Sihon taengkah n'saii uh bangla amih te khaw n'thup uh tih khopuei takuem kah huta tongpa neh camoe khaw n'thup uh.
We completely destroyed everything, just as we had done [in the area that] King Sihon ruled. We killed all the men, women, and children.
7 Tedae rhamsa boeih neh khopuei rhoek kah kutbuem te tah mamih ham ni m'poelyoe uh.
But from those cities we took for ourselves all the livestock and other valuable things.
8 Te vaengah Jordan rhalvang Arnon soklong lamkah Hermon tlang duela aka om Amori manghai rhoi kut lamkah khohmuen te n'loh uh.
“So at that time we took from those two kings of the Amor people-group all the land east of the Jordan [River], from the Arnon [River] gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north].”
9 Hermon te Sidoni rhoek loh Sirion a ti uh tih Amori rhoek loh Senir a ti uh.
(That mountain is called Sirion by the people of Sidon [city] and is called Senir by the Amor people-group.)
10 Tlangkol khopuei rhoek boeih neh Gilead boeih khaw, Bashan boeih Salkhah due khaw, Bashan ah Oga ram khopuei rhoek khuikah Edrei khaw n'lohuh.
“We captured all the towns on the (plateau/high level land), and all the Gilead [region], and all the Bashan [region] as far east as Edrei and Salecah towns, which also belonged to Og’s kingdom.”
11 Te dongah Bashan manghai Oga bueng ni Rapha hlangrhuel la aka sueng. Te vaengah anih kah soengca thi soengca aih te hlang kah a dong la a daang te dong li neh a yun dong ko la Ammon koca rhoek kah Rabbah hmuen ah om pawt het a?
(Og was the last king who was a descendant of the Repha giants. His bed was made of iron. It was almost (14 feet/4 meters) long and (6 feet/2 meters) wide. It is still [RHQ] in Rabbah [city] in the Ammon area.)
12 Te vaeng tue kah khohmuen m'pang te Arnon soklong kah Aroer neh Gilead tlang a rhakthuem neh khopuei rhoek te Reuben koca neh Gad koca taengah ka paek coeng.
“From the land that we captured at that time, I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land [north] of Aroer [town] near the Arnon [River], and some of the hilly area of the Gilead [region], along with the nearby towns.
13 Gilead kah a coih neh Oga ram Bashan pum te Manasseh koca rhakthuem taengah ka paek coeng. Bashan pum kah Argob paeng boeih he Rapha khohmuen la a tkhue.
The other part of the Gilead [region] and all of the Bashan [region], which was the Argob [region] that King Og had ruled, I allotted to half of the tribe of Manasseh.” (The entire Bashan [region] is called the land of the Repha giants.)
14 Manasseh capa Jair loh Argob paeng pum te Geshuri neh Maakathi khorhi duela a loh. Te dongah te rhoek te anih ming neh tihnin due, Bashan vangca, Jair a sui.
“Jair, from the tribe of Manasseh, conquered all the Bashan area as far [north] as the border of the Geshur and Maacah territories. He gave his own name to the villages there, and they are still called the villages of Jair.
15 Makir te khaw Gilead ka paek coeng.
The [northern part of the] Gilead [region] I allotted to the Machir [clan, who are descendants of the tribe of Manasseh].
16 Tedae Gilead lamkah Arnon soklong due, khorhi soklong bangli neh Ammon koca rhoek kah khorhi Jabbok soklong duela,
I allotted to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the southern part of the Gilead [region, extending south] to the Arnon [River]. The middle of the river is the [southern] boundary. The [northern] boundary is the Jabbok River, which is part of the border of the Ammon area.
17 kolken neh Jordan khorhi khaw, Kinnereth lamkah kolken tuili, lungkaeh li neh khocuk Pisgah kah tuibah hmui rhoek khaw Reuben koca neh Gad koca taengah ka paek coeng.
[To the west their territory extended] to the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [in the north] to the Dead Sea [in the south] and to the slopes of Pisgah [Mountain] to the east.
18 Te vaeng tue ah ni nangmih te kang uen tih, 'Na BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih taengah m'paek khohmuen he pang hamla pumcum uh laeh. Israel ca rhoek tatthai hlang boeih long tah na manuca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah lan phai uh laeh,’ ka ti.
At that time, I told you three tribes, ‘Yahweh our God is giving you this land [east of the Jordan River], for you to occupy/capture. So now, give your soldiers weapons, and send them [across the Jordan River] ahead of the men from the other Israeli tribes [to help them to conquer/capture the land that has been allotted to them].
19 Tedae na yuu na ca rhoek neh na boiva te tah ka ming vanbangla boiva khaw muep a yet oeh pueng dongah nangmih ham kam paek na khopuei rhoek ah te om uh mai saeh.
But your wives and children and your very numerous cattle must stay in the towns that I have allotted to you.
20 Nangmih bangla na manuca rhoek te BOEIPA loh a duem sak duela na BOEIPA Pathen loh amih taengah khohmuen a paek te amih loh Jordan rhalvang khaw a pang uh thil van coeng. Te dongah hlang he nangmih taengah kam paek vanbangla a rho taengla mael saeh.
[Your men must help your fellow Israelis] until Yahweh enables them to live there peacefully after they capture all the land that Yahweh our God is giving to them on the west side of the Jordan [River], just like he did for you [here on the east side of the river]. After that, you all may return to this land that I have allotted to you.’
21 Joshua khaw amah te vaeng tue ah ka uen tih, 'Hekah manghai rhoi taengah na BOEIPA Pathen loh a saii boeih te na mik loh a hmuh coeng. Nang loh na kun thil ham ram boeih te khaw BOEIPA loh a saii ni.
And I told Joshua, ‘You [SYN] have seen everything that Yahweh our God did to those two kings, [Sihon and Og]. He will do the same thing to the people [who are now] in the land that you will be entering.
22 Nangmih hamla na BOEIPA Pathen loh a vathoh thil coeng dongah amih te rhih boeh,’ ka ti nah.
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God is the one who will fight for you all.’”
23 Amah te vaeng tue ah BOEIPA taengla ka bih tih,
“At that time, I earnestly prayed, saying
24 'Aw Boeipa, Yahovah nang loh na boeilennah neh na tlungluen kut te na sal taengah tueng sak hamla na tawn coeng. Nang kah bibi neh na thayung thamal bangla vaan neh diklai dongah mebang pathen long nim a saii thai bal.
‘Yahweh our Lord, you have merely begun to show me that you are very great and to show me the powerful things that you can do [MTY]. There is certainly no [RHQ] god in heaven or on earth who can do the powerful things/deeds that you [have done].
25 Jordan rhalvang la bet ka lan mai saeh lamtah khohmuen then Lebanon tlang then te khaw ka hmu laem eh,’ ka ti nah.
So please allow me to cross the Jordan [River] and to see the good/fertile land on the west side, the beautiful hilly area and [the mountains in] Lebanon.’
26 Tedae nangmih kongah BOEIPA te kai taengah lungoe tih ka ol hnatun pawh. Te vaenagah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, 'Temah saeh ne nang te, hebang olka he kai taengah koep thui ham khoep boeh.
But Yahweh was angry with me because of [what] your ancestors [had made me do], so he would not pay attention to me. Instead, he said, ‘That is enough [talk from you]! Do not talk to me about that again!
27 Pisgah som la luei lamtah tuitunli neh tlangpuei khaw, tuithim neh khocuk khaw na mik neh dan mai. Jordan he na mik neh na hmuh cakhaw na kat mahpawh.
Climb up to the top of Pisgah [Mountain] and look toward the west and to the east, toward the north and to the south. Look at [MTY] it all carefully, because you will not cross the Jordan [River to see the land from there].
28 Tedae Joshua te uen lamtah talong khaw talong, duel khaw duel. Anih tah pilnam kah mikhmuh ah kat phai vetih na hmuh ham khohmuen te a pang ni, ' a ti.
But tell Joshua what he must do and encourage him to be strong, because he is the one who will lead the people [across the river in order that they can] occupy/capture the land that you will see [from the top of the mountain].’
29 Te dongah ni Bethpeor imdan kah kolrhawk ah kho n'sakuh.
So we remained in the [Jordan River] Valley close to Beth-Peor [town].”
