Rapar Mar Chik 2
1 Eka ne wachako wuoth kwangʼado thim kwachomo Nam Makwar mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochika. Kuom kinde mangʼeny ne wadigni e piny gode mag Seir.
Then we turned around and headed back into the desert on the road that leads to the Red Sea, as the Lord had told me, and we wandered around Mount Seir for a long time.
2 Eka Jehova Nyasaye ne owachona niya,
This is when the Lord told me,
3 “Usedigni bangʼ kinde mangʼeny kulwororu e pinyni, omiyo wuothuru kuchomo yor nyandwat.
“You have been wandering around this mountain long enough. Go back north,
4 Nyis ji wechegi kiwachonegi ni, ‘Uchiegni kalo e piny joweteu ma nyikwa Esau modak Seir. Gibiro bedo gi kibaji nikech un, to beduru motangʼ.
and give these orders to the people: ‘You are going to pass through the territory of your relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be frightened of you, so you need to be very careful.
5 Kik udwar kodgi lweny nimar ok anamiu pinygi kata mana kama uketo e tiendu kende. Asemiyo Esau pinje mag gode man Seir kaka girkeni mare.
Don't fight them, for I'm not going to give you any of their land, not even the size of a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau and it belongs to him.
6 Ubiro chulogi fedha kuom chiemo ma uchamo kod pi ma umodho.’”
Pay them with money for the food you eat and the water you drink.’
7 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osegwedho tich lwetu. Oseritou ka uwuotho e thim malichni kendo kuom higni piero angʼwen-gi duto Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osebedo kodu mi ok uchando gimoro.
Remember that the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you've done. He has looked after you during your journey through this large desert. The Lord your God has been with you for these forty years, and you haven't lacked anything.”
8 Eka ne wakalo Seir kama jowetewa ma nyikwa Esau nodakie. Bangʼe ne waa Araba kwachomo Elath kod Ezion Geber mi wawuotho kwachomo thim Moab.
So we passed by our relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We didn't take the Arabah road from Elath and Ezion-geber. Instead we used the road that goes through the desert of Moab.
9 Eka Jehova Nyasaye ne owachona niya, “Kik umonj jo-Moab kata kwinyogi mondo gitug lweny kodu, nimar ok anamiu dir pinygi moro amora. Kanyo asemiyo joka Ar ma nyikwa Lut kaka girkeni margi.”
Then the Lord told me, “Don't cause the Moabites any trouble or fight them, for I'm not going to give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot and it belongs to them.”
10 (Jo-Emi osebedo ka odak kanyo, ma gin joma rateke, mangʼeny kendo ma roboche mana ka jo-Anak.
(A strong and numerous people called the Emim once lived there. They were as tall as the Anakim,
11 Jo-Emi kod jo-Anak ji ne luongogiga ni jo-Refai, to jo-Moab to ne luongogi ni jo-Emi.
and just like the Anakim, they were also considered as Rephaim, but the Moabites called them Emim.
12 Chon jo-Hori nodak e piny Seir, to nyikwa Esau noriembogi oko. Negitieko jo-Hori mane ni kanyo mi gidak kuondegi mana kaka jo-Israel notimo e piny mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyogi kaka girkeni.)
Previously the Horites lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau took over their land. They killed the Horites and settled there, just like Israel did when they occupied the land that the Lord had given them.)
13 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Koro chungi mondo ingʼad Holo mar Zered.” Omiyo ne wangʼado holono.
Then the Lord told us, “Go and cross over Zered Brook.” So we crossed over Zered Brook.
14 E kinde mane wawuok Kadesh Barnea nyaka wangʼado Holo mar Zered nokawowa higni piero adek gaboro. E kindeno tiengʼ mar jolweny duto notho e kambi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye ne osesingorenegi.
The time it took for us to travel from Kadesh-barnea to when we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years. By this time the entire generation of warriors had died and were no longer part of the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them would happen.
15 Lwet Jehova Nyasaye ne mon kodgi nyaka ne otiekogi duto e kambi.
In fact the Lord worked against them to remove them from the camp, until they were all dead.
16 Kane joma odongʼ ma jolweny osetho,
Once the people's warriors had died,
17 Jehova Nyasaye ne owachona niya,
the Lord told me,
18 “Kawuononi ubiro kalo e gwenge mag Moab manie piny Ar.
“Today you will cross out of Moab at the border near Ar.
19 Ka ubiro ir jo-Amon, to kik uchandgi kata dwaro tugo kodgi lweny, nimar ok anamiu gimoro amora e piny jo-Amon. Asechiwe kaka girkeni ne nyikwa Lut.”
However, when you get enter Ammonite territory, don't cause them any trouble or fight them for I'm not going to give you any Ammonite land, because I have given it to the descendants of Lot and it belongs to them.”
20 (Pinyno bende ne okwan kaka piny jo-Refai mane osebedo kodak kuno, to jo-Amon to ne luongogi ni jo-Zamzumi.
(This land was previously considered as the country of the Rephaim who used to live there. However, the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
21 Gin oganda marateke, mangʼeny kendo ma roboche mana ka jo-Anak. Jehova Nyasaye ne otiekogi e nyim jo-Amon, mane oriembogi mi gidak kuondegigo.
They were a strong and numerous people, as tall as the Anakim. But the Lord destroyed them when the Ammonites invaded and drove them out and settled there,
22 Jehova Nyasaye ne osetimo mano ne nyikwa Esau, mane odak Seir, e kinde mane otieko jo-Hori ka gineno. Negiriembogi oko kendo gidak kanyo nyaka chil kawuono.
just as he'd done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir when he destroyed the Horites. They drove them out and settled where they used to live, and are still there to this day.
23 To jo-Kaftor mane oa Kaftor noriembo jo-Avi mabor nyaka e gwenge mag Gaza, mi koro gidak kanyo.)
The Avvim, living in villages as far away as Gaza, were destroyed by the Philistines, who came from Crete, and settled where they used to live.)
24 “Koro ikreuru kendo ukadh holo mar Arnon. Neuru, asechiwo e lwetu Sihon ja-Amor ma ruodh Heshbon kod pinye. Chakuru kedo kodgi mondo ukawe.
Then the Lord told us, “Get up, go and cross the Arnon Valley. Look, I have handed over to you Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, as well as his land. Go and start taking it over, and fight him in battle.
25 Kochakore odiechiengni abiro kelo luoro kod kibaji ne ogendini duto modak e piny. E kinde ma giniwinjie humbu, gibiro kirni kendo kihondko biro makogi.”
From this day on, I'm going to make all nations on earth dread you—they will be terrified of you. Because of the news they hear about you they will tremble in terror when you appear.”
26 Koa e thim mar Kedemoth, ne aoro joote ne Sihon ma ruodh Heshbon kakwaye mondo kwe obedie kawachone niya,
Moses told the Israelites, “From the Kedemoth Desert I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon, king of Heshbon, telling him,
27 “Yienwauru wakal e pinyu nikech wabiro luwo yo tir kendo ok wanabar e bat korachwich kata koracham.
‘Let us pass through your land. We'll stay on the main road and won't turn off either to the right or to the left.
28 Yie iusnwa chiemo mwachamo kod pi mwamodho nikech nengogi romre gi fedha, kendo iwewa aweya wakadhi kwawuotho gi tiendwa,
Sell us food to eat and water to drink for money. Just let us pass through on foot,
29 mana kaka nyikwa Esau mane odak Seir kod jo-Moab modak Ar ne jotimonwa, negiweyo wangʼado Jordan miwadonjo e piny ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa miyowa.”
just like the descendants of Esau living in Seir and the Moabites living in Ar allowed us, until we cross over the Jordan into the country that the Lord our God is giving to us.”
30 To Sihon ruodh Heshbon ne otamowa kadho e pinygi nimar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nosemiye wich teko, kendo chunye odoko matek mondo ochiwe e lwetu mana kaka osetimo.
But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through, for the Lord your God gave him a stubborn spirit and an obstinate attitude, so the Lord could hand him over to you, as he has now done.
31 Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Neuru, koro achiwo Sihon kod pinye e lwetu, koro monjeuru mondo ukaw pinyeno.”
Then the Lord told me, “Look, I have started handing Sihon and his land over to you. Now you can begin to conquer and take over his land.”
32 Kane Sihon kod jolwenje duto nobiro mondo ochak kodwa lweny e piny Jahaz,
Sihon and his whole army came out to fight us at Jahaz.
33 Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nochiwe e lwetwa kendo ne watieke gi nyithinde kod jolwenje duto.
The Lord our God handed him over to us, and we killed him, his sons, and all his army.
34 E kindeno ne wakawo mieche duto, mi wanego, chwo, mon kod nyithindo duto, kendo onge ngʼama ne waweyo kangima.
We also captured all his towns, and set apart for destruction the people of every town: men, women, and children. We didn't leave any survivors.
35 To jamni kod gik moyaki mane oa e miechgi mane wakawo ne wadhi godo.
All we took for ourselves was the livestock and plunder from the towns we'd captured.
36 Onge dala mane nyalo sirowa e lweny chakre Aroer, e dho holo mar Arnon kod dala manie holo hie nyaka chop Gilead kendo onge kata mana dala achiel mane ok wanyal kawo. Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa nochiwogi duto e lwetwa.
No town had walls too high for us to conquer—from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley, the town in the valley, all the way to Gilead. The Lord our God handed them all over to us.
37 To kaluwore gi chik Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, ne ok ukawo piny jo-Amon moro amora kata mana piny mokiewo gi Jabok kata mago molworo dalane manie gode.
But you didn't go anywhere near the country of the Ammonites—the area that borders the Jabbok River or the towns of the hill country, or any other place that the Lord our God had placed off limits.
