Deuteronomy 3
1 Then we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.
Kisha tukageuka tukakwea kufuata njia iliyoelekea Bashani, Ogu mfalme wa Bashani akaondoka na jeshi lake lote kupigana na sisi huko Edrei.
2 But the LORD said to me, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”
Bwana akaniambia, “Usimwogope kwa kuwa nimekwisha mkabidhi mikononi mwako pamoja na jeshi lake lote na nchi yake. Umfanyie sawasawa na ulivyomfanyia Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori, ambaye alitawala huko Heshboni.”
3 So the LORD our God also delivered Og king of Bashan and his whole army into our hands. We struck them down until no survivor was left.
Hivyo Bwana Mungu wetu pia akamweka Ogu mfalme wa Bashani pamoja na jeshi lake lote mikononi mwetu. Tuliwaangamiza wote, hakubakia hata mmoja.
4 At that time we captured all sixty of his cities. There was not a single city we failed to take—the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Wakati huo tuliteka miji yake yote. Hakuna mji hata mmoja kati ya ile sitini ambao hatukuuteka, yaani eneo lote la Argobu, utawala wa Mfalme Ogu katika Bashani.
5 All these cities were fortified with high walls and gates and bars, and there were many more unwalled villages.
Miji yote hii ilijengewa ngome zenye kuta ndefu zenye malango na makomeo, pia kulikuwako na vijiji vingi ambavyo havikujengewa kuta.
6 We devoted them to destruction, as we had done to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city.
Tuliwaangamiza kabisa, kama tulivyomfanyia Sihoni mfalme wa Heshboni, tukiangamiza kila mji, yaani wanaume, wanawake na watoto.
7 But all the livestock and plunder of the cities we carried off for ourselves.
Lakini wanyama wote wa kufuga pamoja na nyara kutoka kwenye miji yao tulichukua vikawa vyetu.
8 At that time we took from the two kings of the Amorites the land across the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley as far as Mount Hermon—
Hivyo kwa wakati huo tukachukua kutoka kwa wafalme hawa wawili wa Waamori nchi ya mashariki ya Yordani, kutoka Bonde la Arnoni mpaka kufika kwenye Mlima Hermoni.
9 which the Sidonians call Sirion but the Amorites call Senir—
(Wasidoni huuita mlima huo Sirioni, nao Waamori huuita Seniri.)
10 all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan as far as the cities of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og.
Tuliteka miji yote kwenye uwanda wa juu, Gileadi yote, Bashani yote mpaka kufika Saleka na Edrei, miji ya utawala wa Ogu huko Bashani.
11 (For only Og king of Bashan had remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)
(Mfalme Ogu wa Bashani ndiye peke yake aliyesalia miongoni mwa mabaki ya Warefai. Kitanda chake kilikuwa cha chuma chenye urefu wa dhiraa tisa na upana wa dhiraa nne. Mpaka sasa kinaweza kuonekana katika mji wa Waamoni wa Raba.)
12 So at that time we took possession of this land. To the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the land beyond Aroer along the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead, along with its cities.
Katika nchi tuliyoiteka wakati ule, niliwapa kabila la Reubeni na Gadi eneo lililoko kaskazini la Aroeri kando ya Bonde la Arnoni, na nusu ya eneo la milima ya Gileadi, pamoja na miji yake.
13 To the half-tribe of Manasseh I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The entire region of Argob, the whole territory of Bashan, used to be called the land of the Rephaim.)
Kisha nusu ya kabila la Manase niliwapa sehemu ya Gileadi iliyobaki pamoja na Bashani yote, ambayo ilikuwa utawala wa Ogu. (Eneo lote la Argobu katika Bashani lilikuwa linajulikana kama nchi ya Warefai.
14 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites. He renamed Bashan after himself, Havvoth-jair, by which it is called to this day.
Yairi, mzao wa kabila la Manase, alichukua eneo lote la nchi ya Argobu hadi kufikia mpaka wa Wageshuri na Wamaaka, ukaitwa kwa jina lake; kwa hiyo mpaka leo hii Bashani inaitwa Hawoth-Yairi.)
15 To Machir I gave Gilead,
Nikampa Makiri nchi ya Gileadi.
16 and to the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead to the Arnon Valley (the middle of the valley was the border) and up to the Jabbok River, the border of the Ammonites.
Lakini niliwapa Wareubeni na Wagadi eneo kuanzia Gileadi hadi Bonde la Arnoni (katikati ya bonde ulikuwa ndio mpaka), kuelekea mpaka Mto Yaboki, ambao ndio mpaka wa Waamoni.
17 The Jordan River in the Arabah bordered it from Chinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea ) with the slopes of Pisgah to the east.
Kwa upande wa magharibi mpaka wao ulikuwa Yordani katika Araba, toka ziwa Galilaya hadi Bahari ya Araba (yaani Bahari ya Chumvi), kwenye miteremko ya Pisga upande wa mashariki.
18 At that time I commanded you: “The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. All your men of valor are to cross over, armed for battle, ahead of your brothers, the Israelites.
Wakati huo nilikuamuru: “Bwana Mungu wako amekupa nchi hii uimiliki. Lakini ni lazima wanaume wenu wote wenye uwezo, wakiwa wamejiandaa tayari kwa vita, wavuke ngʼambo wakiwatangulia ndugu zako Waisraeli.
19 But your wives, your children, and your livestock—I know that you have much livestock—may remain in the cities I have given you,
Lakini wake zenu, watoto wenu na mifugo yenu (kwani najua mnayo mifugo mingi) wanaweza kukaa katika miji niliyowapa,
20 until the LORD gives rest to your brothers as He has to you, and they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them across the Jordan. Then each of you may return to the possession I have given you.”
mpaka hapo Bwana atakapowapa ndugu zenu kupumzika kama alivyowapa ninyi, wao pia wamiliki ile nchi ambayo Bwana Mungu wenu anawapa, ngʼambo ya Yordani. Baada ya hapo, kila mmoja wenu anaweza kurudi kwenye milki niliyowapa.”
21 And at that time I commanded Joshua: “Your own eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to enter.
Wakati huo nilimwamuru Yoshua, “Umejionea kwa macho yako mwenyewe yale yote ambayo Bwana Mungu wenu amewafanyia wafalme hawa wawili. Bwana atazifanyia falme zote huko mnakokwenda vivyo hivyo.
22 Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you.”
Msiwaogope, Bwana Mungu wenu atapigana kwa ajili yenu.”
23 At that time I also pleaded with the LORD:
Wakati huo nilimsihi Bwana:
24 “O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?
“Ee Bwana Mwenyezi, umemwonyesha mtumishi wako ukuu wako na mkono wako wenye uweza. Kwa kuwa ni mungu yupi aliye mbinguni au duniani anayeweza kufanya kazi na matendo makuu kama ufanyayo wewe?
25 Please let me cross over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that pleasant hill country as well as Lebanon!”
Acha niende nikaione hiyo nchi nzuri ngʼambo ya Yordani, ile nchi nzuri ya vilima na Lebanoni.”
26 But the LORD was angry with me on account of you, and He would not listen to me. “That is enough,” the LORD said to me. “Do not speak to Me again about this matter.
Lakini kwa sababu yenu Bwana alinikasirikia na hakutaka kunisikiliza. Bwana aliniambia, “Hilo latosha; usiseme nami jambo hili tena.
27 Go to the top of Pisgah and look to the west and north and south and east. See the land with your own eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan.
Kwea juu ya kilele cha Pisga uangalie magharibi, kaskazini, kusini na mashariki. Iangalie hiyo nchi kwa macho yako, kwa vile wewe hutavuka Yordani.
28 But commission Joshua, encourage him, and strengthen him, for he will cross over ahead of the people and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.”
Lakini mwagize Yoshua, mtie moyo na umtie nguvu, kwa kuwa yeye atawaongoza watu hawa hadi ngʼambo na kuwarithisha nchi utakayoiona.”
29 So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
Kwa hiyo tulikaa kwenye bonde karibu na Beth-Peori.
