< Deuteronomy 2 >
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Jehovah spoke to me. And we encompassed mount Seir many days.
Thuutha ũcio tũkĩhũndũka, tũkiumagara tũrorete na werũ-inĩ, tũgĩthiĩ na njĩra ĩrĩa yerekeire Iria Itune, o ta ũrĩa Jehova anjĩĩrĩte. Tũkĩũrũũra bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma wa Seiru ihinda iraaya.
2 And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
Nake Jehova agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ,
3 Ye have encompassed this mountain long enough, turn northward.
“Nĩmũrũũrĩte bũrũri ũyũ ũrĩ irĩma ihinda rĩa kũigana; rĩu garũrũkai mũrorete mwena wa gathigathini.
4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Take ye good heed to yourselves therefore.
Atha andũ, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Mũrĩ hakuhĩ gũtuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa ariũ a ithe wanyu, njiaro cia Esaũ, arĩa matũũraga Seiru. Nĩmekũmwĩtigĩra, no inyuĩ mwĩmenyererei mũno.
5 Do not contend with them, for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
Mũtikamoogite nĩguo mũrũe, nĩgũkorwo ndikũmũhe bũrũri wao o na hanini, o na handũ mũngĩkinyithia kũgũrũ. Nĩheete Esaũ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma wa Seiru ũtuĩke wake mwene.
6 Ye shall purchase food from them for money, that ye may eat, and ye shall also buy water from them for money, that ye may drink.
Irio iria mũrĩrĩĩaga na maaĩ marĩa mũrĩnyuuaga mũrĩmarĩhaga na betha.’”
7 For Jehovah thy God has blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He has known thy walking through this great wilderness. These forty years Jehovah thy God has been with thee; thou have lacked nothing.
Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũrathimĩte wĩra-inĩ wothe wa moko manyu. Nĩamũmenyereire rũgendo-inĩ rwanyu werũ-inĩ ũyũ mũnene. Mĩaka ĩyo mĩrongo ĩna ĩthirĩte, Jehova Ngai wanyu akoretwo hamwe na inyuĩ, na mũtirĩ mwaga kĩndũ o na kĩ.
8 So we passed by from our brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkĩhĩtũkĩra kũu kwa ariũ a ithe witũ, njiaro cia Esaũ, acio maatũire kũu Seiru. Nĩtwatigire barabara ya gũthiĩ Araba ĩrĩa yumĩte Elathu na Ezioni-Geberi, tũkĩnyiita barabara ya werũ ya gũthiĩ Moabi.
9 And Jehovah said to me, Do not vex Moab, neither contend with them in battle, for I will not give thee of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot for a possession.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũgathĩĩnie andũ a Moabi kana ũmogite nĩguo mũrũe, nĩgũkorwo ndikũmũhe bũrũri wao o na hanini. Nĩndĩkĩtie kũheana Ari kũrĩ njiaro cia Loti gũtuĩke igai rĩao.”
10 (The Emim dwelt in it formerly, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim.
(Aemi nĩo maatũũraga kuo tene, andũ maarĩ hinya na aingĩ mũno, na makaraiha ta ariũ a Anaki.
11 These also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.
O nao andũ acio maatuĩtwo Arefai, o ta Anaki, no andũ a Moabi maameetaga Aemi.
12 The Horites also dwelt in Seir formerly, but the sons of Esau succeeded them. And they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
Aahori tene maatũũraga Seiru, no njiaro cia Esaũ ikĩmarutũrũra, makiuma kuo. Njiaro cia Esaũ ikĩniina Aahori, ikĩmeeheria mbere yao, na magĩtũũra kuo ithenya rĩao, o ta ũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli meekire bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova aamaheire megwatĩre ũtuĩke wao.)
13 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ũkĩrai mũringe Kĩanda gĩa Zeredi.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkĩringa karũũĩ kau.
14 And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we came over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah swore to them.
Mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩnana nĩyathirire kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa tuoimire Kadeshi-Barinea nginya rĩrĩa twaringire Kĩanda kĩu gĩa Zeredi. Ihinda-inĩ rĩu rũciaro ruothe rwa andũ arĩa maathiiaga ita rũgĩkorwo rũthirĩte kũu kambĩ-inĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamerĩte na mwĩhĩtwa.
15 Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
Guoko kwa Jehova nĩ kwamokĩrĩire nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aamaniinire biũ, magĩthira kũu kambĩ-inĩ.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa mũndũ wa mũthia gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio arĩa maathiiaga ita aakuire-rĩ,
17 that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ,
18 Thou are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
“Ũmũthĩ nĩmũkũhĩtũkĩra Ari, bũrũri-inĩ wa Moabi.
19 And when thou come near opposite the sons of Ammon, do not vex them, nor contend with them, for I will not give thee of the land of the sons of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession.
Mwakinya kũrĩ Aamoni, mũtikamathĩĩnie kana mũmoogite nĩguo mũrũe, nĩgũkorwo ndikũmũhe bũrũri o na ũmwe wa Aamoni. Nĩndĩũheanĩte kũrĩ njiaro cia Loti ũtuĩke igai rĩao.”
20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim. Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
(O naguo ũcio watuĩtwo ta bũrũri wa Arefai, arĩa matũũrĩte kuo, no Aamoni maametaga Azamuzumi.
21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim. But Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead,
Maarĩ andũ marĩ hinya na aingĩ na makaraiha ta Aanaki. Jehova nĩamaniinire makĩeherera Aamoni, nao makĩmaingata magĩtũũra kuo ithenya rĩao.
22 as he did for the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them. And they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day.
Ũguo noguo Jehova eekĩire njiaro cia Esaũ arĩa maatũũrĩte Seiru, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aaniinire Aahori mehere mbere yao. Nĩmamarutũrũrire, na nĩo matũũraga kuo ithenya rĩao nginya ũmũthĩ.
23 And the Avvim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
Nao Aavi arĩa maatũũraga tũtũũra-inĩ gũthiĩ o nginya Gaza, nĩmaniinirwo nĩ Akafitori arĩa moimĩte Kafitori, nao magĩtũũra kuo ithenya rĩao.)
24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
“Umagarai mũringe Kĩanda kĩa Arinoni. Na atĩrĩ, nĩneanĩte Sihoni ũrĩa, Mũamori mũthamaki wa Heshiboni, na bũrũri wake moko-inĩ manyu. Ambĩrĩriai kũrũa nake, mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũcio.
25 This day I will begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
Mũthenya ũyũ wa ũmũthĩ nĩngwambĩrĩria gũtũma andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria itũire gũkũ thĩ inyiitwo nĩ guoya na kĩmako nĩ ũndũ wanyu. Ciaigua ũhoro wanyu nĩikũinaina na inyiitwo nĩ kĩgirĩko kĩnene nĩ ũndũ wanyu.”
26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Tũrĩ werũ-inĩ wa Kedemothu nĩndatũmire andũ kũrĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni ngĩmũũria tũgĩe na thayũ, na ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
27 Let me pass through thy land. I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
“Twĩtĩkĩrie tũtuĩkanĩrie bũrũri waku. Tũkũrũmĩrĩra barabara ĩrĩa nene tũtikwahũka na mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho.
28 Thou shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only let me pass through on my feet,
Twenderiei irio cia kũrĩa na maaĩ ma kũnyua, tũrĩhe na betha. No rĩrĩ, ũtwĩtĩkĩrie tũtuĩkanĩrie kũu na magũrũ,
29 as the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God gives us.
o ta ũrĩa njiaro cia Esaũ iria itũũraga Seiru, na andũ a Moabi arĩa matũũraga Ari maatwĩkire, nginya tũringe Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani tũkinye bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai witũ araatũhe.”
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day.
No Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni nĩaregire tũtuĩkanĩrie kuo. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩatũmire roho wake ũngʼathie, na akĩũmia ngoro yake, nĩgeetha amũneane moko-inĩ manyu, o ta ũrĩa ekĩte rĩu.
31 And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before thee. Begin to possess, that thou may inherit his land.
Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩndambĩrĩria kũneana Sihoni na bũrũri wake kũrĩ inyuĩ. Ambĩrĩriai kũmahũũra mũmatoorie, nĩgeetha mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũcio wake.”
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Sihoni oimagarire na mbũtũ yake yothe nĩguo acemanie na ithuĩ mbaara-inĩ kũu Jahazu,
33 And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us. And we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
Jehova Ngai witũ nĩamũneanire moko-inĩ maitũ na ithuĩ tũkĩmũhũũra, tũkĩmũũraga hamwe na ariũ ake na mbũtũ yake yothe.
34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo tũkĩnyiita matũũra make mothe tũkĩmaananga biũ, o na tũkĩniina arũme, na andũ-a-nja, o na ciana. Tũtiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe.
35 We only took the cattle for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
No mahiũ na indo iria twaatahire kuuma matũũra macio twanyiitire nĩtweyoeire tũgĩthiĩ nacio.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Jehovah our God delivered up all before us.
Kuuma Aroeri mũthia-inĩ wa kĩanda kĩa Arinoni, na kuuma itũũra rĩrĩa rĩarĩ kĩanda-inĩ kĩu, nginya o Gileadi, gũtirĩ itũũra o na rĩmwe rĩatũkĩririe hinya. Jehova Ngai witũ nĩaneanire matũũra mothe kũrĩ ithuĩ.
37 Only to the land of the sons of Ammon thou did not come near, all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wherever Jehovah our God forbad us.
No kũringana na watho wa Jehova Ngai witũ, mũtiigana gũkuhĩrĩria bũrũri o na ũrĩkũ wa Aamoni, kana mũgĩkuhĩrĩria bũrũri ũrĩa wariganĩtie na Rũũĩ rwa Jaboku, o na kana bũrũri ũrĩa ũthiũrũrũkĩirie matũũra marĩa marĩ irĩma-inĩ.
