< Deuteronomy 2 >

1 Then we turned back and headed for the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD had instructed me, and for many days we wandered around Mount Seir.
Te phoeiah, BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui vanbangla n'hooi uh tih carhaek li long kah khosoek la n'caeh uh phoeiah Seir tlang n'hil uh khaw khohnin loh sen coeng.
2 At this time the LORD said to me,
“Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai m'voek tih,
3 “You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north
‘Hekah tlang khaw puet na hil uh coeng. Te dongah tlangpuei ben la mael uh laeh.
4 and command the people: ‘You will pass through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so you must be very careful.
Na pilnam te khaw uen lamtah namamih loh thui pah. Seir ah aka om na manuca Esau koca rhoek kah khorhi aka paan nangmih te n'rhih uh ni. Te dongah boeih ngaithuen uh.
5 Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as his possession.
Amih kah khohmuen te nangmih taengah kam paek pawt oeh dongah amih te huek boeh. Na kho khopha kah a laeh pataeng khaw Seir tlang te tah Esau kah rho lamni ka paek coeng.
6 You are to pay them in silver for the food you eat and the water you drink.’”
Buh khaw amih taengah tah tangka neh lai uh lamtah ca uh. Tui pataeng khaw amih taengah tah tangka neh lai uh lamtah o uh.
7 Indeed, the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. The LORD your God has been with you these forty years, and you have lacked nothing.
Hekah khosoek khoham ah na van uh te BOEIPA na Pathen loh a ming tih na kut dongkah bitat boeih dongah BOEIPA na Pathen loh na yoe a then sak. Tahae due kum sawmli khuiah nangmih te hno loh m'vaitah moenih,’ a ti.”
8 So we passed by our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road, which comes up from Elath and Ezion-geber, and traveled along the road of the Wilderness of Moab.
“Te dongah Seir ah kho aka sa mah manuca Esau koca rhoek te m'poeng uh tih kolken longpuei Elath neh Eziongeber lamkah n'hooi uh tih Moab khosoek longpuei la n'khum uh.
9 Then the LORD said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
Tedae BOEIPA loh kai taengah, ‘Ar he tah Lot koca rhoek taengah rho la ka paek coeng dongah anih kah khohmuen rho te nangmih kam pae mahpawh,’ a ti. Te dongah Moab te dum boel lamtah amih te caem nen khaw huek boeh.”
10 (The Emites used to live there, a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites.
“Hlamat lamkah anih khuiah aka om Emim pilnam khaw Anakim bangla tlung khaw tlung, ping khaw ping tih bahoeng sang.
11 Like the Anakites, they were also regarded as Rephaim, though the Moabites called them Emites.
Rapha te khaw Anakim bangla a poek uh dongah amih te Moab loh Emim la a khue uh.
12 The Horites used to live in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out. They destroyed the Horites from before them and settled in their place, just as Israel did in the land that the LORD gave them as their possession.)
Seir ah khaw a hmai ah Khori rhoek kho a sak uh coeng. Tedae Esau ca rhoek loh amih te a huul uh. Amih te a mikhmuh lamloh mitmoeng uh. A rho khohmuen ah Israel saii bangla amih yueng la kho a sak uh. Te te BOEIPA loh amih taengah a paek.”
13 “Now arise and cross over the Brook of Zered.” So we crossed over the Brook of Zered.
“‘Tahae ah thoo uh lamtah Zered soklong te kan uh,’ a ti dongah Zered soklong te n'kan uh.
14 The time we spent traveling from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years, until that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.
Kadeshbarnea lamkah n'cet uh tih Zered soklong m'poeng uh duela a tue loh sawmthum neh kum rhet di coeng. BOEIPA loh a caeng vanbangla rhaehhmuen lamkah thawnpuei caemtloek hlang rhoek khaw boeih khum uh coeng.
15 Indeed, the LORD’s hand was against them, to eliminate them from the camp, until they had all perished.
Amih a mitmoeng uh duela rhaehhmuen khui lamkah amih aka khawkkhek la BOEIPA kut khaw amih taengah om.”
16 Now when all the fighting men among the people had died,
“Pilnam khui lamkah caemtloek hlang boeih khaw duek tih aka boeih bangla om coeng.
17 the LORD said to me,
Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai m'voek tih,
18 “Today you are going to cross the border of Moab at Ar.
‘Moab khorhi kah Ar te tihnin ah vawl poeng laeh.
19 But when you get close to the Ammonites, do not harass them or provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites. I have given it to the descendants of Lot as their possession.”
Ammon koca rhoek taengla na pawk vaengah amih te dum boeh. Caemtloek nen khaw amih te huek boeh. Ammon koca rhoek kah khohmuen te nang taengah rho la kam paek moenih. Lot koca rhoek ham ni rho la ka paek,’ a ti.”
20 (That too was regarded as the land of the Rephaim, who used to live there, though the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
“Te te a khui ah lamhma la Rapha rhoek a om uh van coeng dongah Rapha khohmuen la a poek. Tedae Ammoni rhoek longtah amih te Zamzomi la a khue uh.
21 They were a people great and many, as tall as the Anakites. But the LORD destroyed them from before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in their place,
Amih te Anakim bangla pilnam loh len khaw len, yet khaw yet tih sang khaw sang dae amamih mikhmuh ah BOEIPA loh amih te a mitmoeng sak tih a haek dongah amih yueng la Ammon rhoek loh kho a sak uh.
22 just as He had done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They drove them out and have lived in their place to this day.
Seir kah aka om te Esau koca rhoek ham a saii pah tih Khori rhoek a mit sak bangla amih khaw a mikhmuh ah a haek uh dongah tihnin due amih yueng la Esau koca rhoek loh kho a sak uh.
23 And the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, were destroyed by the Caphtorites, who came out of Caphtor and settled in their place.)
Gaza vongup khui duela aka om Avvii khaw Kaptor lamkah aka lo Kapthorim rhoek loh a mit sak tih amih yueng la tloep om bal.”
24 “Arise, set out, and cross the Arnon Valley. See, I have delivered into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession of it and engage him in battle.
Thoo uh laeh. Cet uh lamtah Arnon soklong ke kat uh. 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.
25 This very day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon all the nations under heaven. They will hear the reports of you and tremble in anguish because of you.”
Tihnin ah 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 yaak uh vaengah tlai uh vetih na mikhmuh ah kilkul uh ni.
26 So from the Wilderness of Kedemoth I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon king of Heshbon, saying,
“Te phoeiah Kedemoth khosoek lamkah puencawn rhoek te Heshbon manghai Sihon taengla rhoepnah olka neh ka tueih tih,
27 “Let us pass through your land; we will stay on the main road. We will not turn to the right or to the left.
‘Na khohmuen long ah ka lan mai eh. Longpuei pakhat te ka vai vetih banvoei bantang la ka phael mahpawh.
28 You can sell us food to eat and water to drink in exchange for silver. Only let us pass through on foot,
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.
29 just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for us, until we cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
BOEIPA ka Pathen loh kaimih taengah m'paek khohmuen la Jordan lamkah ka lan uh vaengah Seir ah aka om Esau koca rhoek neh Ar ah aka om Moab rhoek loh kai ham a saii uh bangla sai van mai,’ ka ti nah.”
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for the LORD your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as is the case this day.
“Te vaengah mamih lan sak ham te Heshbon manghai Sihon loh a kohuem pawh. Tedae tihnin kah bangla BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang kut dongah paek a ngaih dongah ni Sihon kah mueihla te a mangkhak sak tih a thinko khaw a ning sak.”
31 Then the LORD said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”
“Tedae BOEIPA loh kai taengah, ‘So lah, Sihon neh anih khohmuen te na mikhmuh ah tloeng hamla ka tawn coeng. A khohmuen te pang pah ham tawn pah lamtah huul pah,’ a ti.
32 So Sihon and his whole army came out for battle against us at Jahaz.
Te vaengah Sihon neh amah pilnam pum loh caemtloek neh mamih doe ham Jahaz ah ha pawk.
33 And the LORD our God delivered him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and his whole army.
Tedae anih te mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh mamih mikhmuh la han thak dongah amah neh anih koca rhoek kah a ca khaw, a pilnam pum khaw n'tloek uh.
34 At that time we captured all his cities and devoted to destruction the people of every city, including women and children. We left no survivors.
Te vaengah a khopuei boeih te m'buem pa uh tih khopuei takuem te n'thup uh. Huta tongpa neh camoe rhaengnaeng khaw m'paih uh pawh.
35 We carried off for ourselves only the livestock and the plunder from the cities we captured.
Tedae rhamsa te mamih ham m'poelyoe uh tih khopuei rhoek te kutbuem la m'buem uh.
36 From Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the valley, even as far as Gilead, not one city had walls too high for us. The LORD our God gave us all of them.
Arnon soklong tuikung kah Aroer lamkah soklong khopuei Gilead pataeng khaw mamih ham aka phoeng khorha la om pawh. Tedae mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh mamih mikhmuh ah boeih a tloeng.
37 But you did not go near the land of the Ammonites, or the land along the banks of the Jabbok River, or the cities of the hill country, or any place that the LORD our God had forbidden.
Tedae Ammon koca rhoek kah khohmuen tah mamih BOEIPA Pathen kah a uen vanbangla Jabbok soklong paem boeih neh tlang kah khopuei boeih khaw ben uh boeh.”
