< Deuteronomy 2 >

1 “And setting out from there, we arrived at the wilderness which leads to the Red Sea, just as the Lord had spoken to me. And we encompassed Mount Seir for a long time.
Niotak’ amy zao tika nionjomb’ am-patrambey mb’eo, niary i Ria-Binday, mb’ami’ty nanoroa’ Iehovà ahiko vaho nañariary i Vohi-Seirey andro maro.
2 And the Lord said to me:
Le hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà amako:
3 ‘You have encompassed this mountain for long enough. Go forth, toward the north.
Fa losotse ty fiariaria’ areo ty vohitse toy. Mitoliha mañavaratse,
4 And instruct the people, saying: You shall cross through the borders of your brothers, the sons of Esau, who live at Seir, and they will fear you.
le afantoho ty hoe ondatio: Ho rangae’ areo ty tanen-drolongo’ areo, o tarira’ i Esave mpimo­neñe e Seireo, f’ie ho hembañe ama’areo, aa le mitaoa
5 Therefore, take care diligently, lest you be moved against them. For I will not give to you from their land even as much as the step that one foot can tread upon, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
tsy mone hihotakotak’ am’ iereo fa tsy hitalorako ndra zehem-pandia raik’ amy tane’iareoy amy te nimeako i Esave ho fanaña’e ty Vohi’ Seire.
6 You shall buy food from them for money, and you shall eat. You shall draw water for money, and you shall drink.
Ho vilie’ areo an-drala o mahakama’eo hikamà’ areo, vaho hikaloa’ areo rano an-drala hinoma’ areo.
7 The Lord your God has blessed you in every work of your hands. The Lord your God, dwelling with you, knows your journey, how you crossed through this great wilderness over forty years, and how you have been lacking in nothing.’
Toe nitahie’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo amy ze hene satam-pità’ areo naho arofoana’e ty firanga’ areo am-patram-bey atoy. Tsy eo ty nipaia’ areo amy efa-polo taoñe nindreza’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo rezay.
8 And when we had passed through our brothers, the sons of Esau, who were living at Seir by the way of the plain from Elath and from Eziongeber, we arrived at the way which leads to the desert of Moab.
Aa le niarian-tika o tarira’ i Esave longon-tika mimoneñe e Seire ao, le nengan-tika ty lala’ i Arabà naho navotson-tika t’i Elate naho i Etsione-Gebere le nitsile vaho niary mb’amy lala’ i fatrambei’ i Moabeiy mb’eo.
9 And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fight against the Moabites, nor should you go to battle against them. For I will not give to you anything from their land, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot as a possession.’
Le nanao ty hoe amako t’Iehovà: Ko tsiborè’o t’i Moabe ndra hialy ama’e, fa tsy ho meiko ndra kede amo tane’eo ho fanañañe, amy te natoloko amo tarira’ i Loteo ty Are ho fanaña’e.
10 The Emim were the first of its inhabitants, a people great and strong, and of such great height, like the race of the Anakim.
(Nimoneña’ o nte-Emeo izay te taolo: ondaty mijoalajoala naho mitozantozañe, mira haabo amo nte-Anàkeo;
11 They were considered to be like giants, and they were like the sons of the Anakim. And, indeed, the Moabites call them: the Emim.
Betek’ atao ty hoe nte-Refae iereo manahake o nte-Anakeo, f’ie atao’ o nte-Moabeo ty hoe nte-Emà.
12 The Horites also formerly lived at Seir. When these had been driven out and destroyed, the sons of Esau lived there, just as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave to him.
Le nimoneñe e Seire ao o nte-Koreo taolo, fa niroahe’ o ana’ i Esaveo, rinotsa’e miaolo iareo vaho nitoboke an-tane’ iareo ao, manahake ty anoe’ Israele amy tane natolotse aze ho fanaña’ey; i natolo’ Iehovà iareoy).
13 Then, rising up so as to cross over the torrent Zered, we arrived at the place.
Miongaha arè, le itsaho o toraha’ i Tseredeo. Aa le nitsahan-tika i torahan-Tserèdey.
14 Then, from the time that we advanced from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the torrent Zered, there were thirty-eight years, until the entire generation of the men who were fit for war had been consumed out of the camp, just as the Lord had sworn.
Le o andro nañaveloan-tika boake Kadese-Barneà am-para’ t’ie nitsake i torahan-Tseredeio, le taoñe telo-polo-valo’ amby, ampara’ te fonga nivetrak’ añivo’ i tobey o lahindefoñe mpiharo-nonoo, amy nifantà’ Iehovà am’ iereoy.
15 For his hand was against them, so that they would pass away from the midst of the camp.
Toe nañonjona’ Iehovà haoke hañombota’e amy màroy am-para’ t’ie fonga nimongotse.
16 Then, after all the fighting men had fallen,
Naho hene nikoromake añivo’ on­datio i lahindefoñe rezay,
17 the Lord spoke to me, saying:
le nitsara ty hoe amako t’Iehovà.
18 ‘Today, you shall cross the borders of Moab, at the city named Ar.
Hitsake i Are, efe-tane’ i Moabe irehe te anito.
19 And when you have arrived in the vicinity of the sons of Ammon, be careful that you do not fight against them, nor should you be moved to battle. For I will not give to you from the land of the sons of Ammon, because I have given it to the sons of Lot as a possession.’
Ie miharine ty efe-tane’ o nte-Amoneo, le ko tsibore’o vaho ko ialiañe, fa tsy hañomeako ty tane’ iareo ho fanaña’o, amy te natoloko an-tarira’ i Lote ho fanaña’e.
20 It was reputed to be a land of giants. And giants lived there in times past, those whom the Ammonites call the Zamzummim.
(Toe natao t’ie tane’ o nte-Refaeo ka; fa nimoneñe ao o nte-Refaeo taolo, ie nitokave’ o nte-Amoneo ty hoe Zam’zome,
21 They are a people, great and numerous, and of lofty stature, like the Anakim, whom the Lord wiped away before their face. And he caused them to live there in place of them,
ondaty maozatse naho vasiañeñe mira amo nte-Anakeo. F’ie narotsa’ Iehovà aolo’ iareo eo handimbeza’ iareo fimoneñañe;
22 just as he had done for the sons of Esau, who live at Seir, wiping out the Horites and delivering their land to them, which they possess even to the present time.
manahake ty nanoe’e amo tarira’ i Esave mimo­neñe e Seireo ami’ty nandrotsaha’e o nte-Koreo aolo’ iareo, nandimbe iareo am-pimoneña’e pake henaneo;
23 Likewise the Hevites, who were living in small villages as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians, who went forth from Cappadocia, and they wiped them out and lived in their place.
naho o nte-Aveo, ie nimoneñe e Katsere pak’ Aza añe, le rinotsa’ o nte-Kaftore boake Kaftoreo, vaho nandimbe fiambesatse.)
24 ‘Rise up and cross the torrent Arnon! Behold, I have delivered Sihon, the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, into your hand, and so, begin to possess his land and to engage in battle against him.
Miongaha, tonjohizo ty lia’ areo, itsaho o vavatane’ i Arnoneo. Ingo fa natoloko am-pità’ areo t’i Sihone nte-Amore mpanjaka’ i Khesbone naho ty tane’e. Miorota mitavañe, naho tameo añ’aly.
25 Today I will begin to send the terror and dread of you among the peoples who are living under all of heaven, so that, when they hear your name, they may be afraid, and may tremble in the manner of a woman giving birth, and may be gripped by anguish.’
Hampihembañeko naho hampirevendreveñeko ama’o henane zao ze hene ondaty ambanen-dikerañeo; ie mijanjiñe azo le hititititike ami’ty anifañe.
26 Therefore, I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, with peaceful words, saying:
Aa le nampisangitrifeko ìrake boak’ am-patrambein-Kedemote ao ho mb’e Sihone Mpanjaka’ i Khesbone añe, le hoe ty entam-panintsiñako ama’e:
27 ‘We will cross through your land. We will advance by the public way. We will not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.
Angao iraho hiranga ty tane’o, fa i lalañey avao ty horiheko, tsy hitsile ndra mañavana ndra mañavia.
28 Sell us food for a price, so that we may eat. Provide us with water for money, and so we will drink. We only ask that you allow us to pass through,
Haleta’o drala amako ty mahakama hihinanako, vaho ie fahana’ areo rano hinomako, le ho soloako bogady, fe apoho ho rangaeko an-tomboke ty tane’o—
29 just as the sons of Esau have done, who live at Seir, and the Moabites, who abide in Ar, until we arrive at the Jordan, and we cross to the land which the Lord our God will give to us.’
hambañe ami’ty nanoe’ o tarira’ i Esave mimoneñe e Seireo amako naho ty nanoe’ o nte-Moabe mpimoneñe e Areo ka—ampara’ te itsahako Iardeney mb’an-tane nitolora’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay mb’eo.
30 And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, was not willing to grant passage to us. For the Lord your God had hardened his spirit, and had fastened his heart, so that he would be delivered into your hands, just as you now see.
Fe tsy nimete hampiranga an-tika t’i Sihone Mpanjaka nte-Khesbone fa nampigan-troke aze t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo vaho nampitokie’e ty arofo’e hanolora’e aze am-pità’ areo, le ie henaneo.
31 And the Lord said to me: ‘Behold, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land to you. Begin to possess it.’
Aa hoe t’Iehovà amako: Ingo, fa namototse hanolotse i Sihone naho i tane’ey ama’ areo iraho, aa le miorota henane zao hangalake i tane’ey ho lova’ areo.
32 And Sihon went out to meet us with all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
Aa le niavotse haname an-tika t’i Sihone, ie naho ondati’e iabio, hihotakotake ty aly e Iàhatse añe,
33 And the Lord our God delivered him to us. And we struck him down, with his sons and all his people.
le natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika aolon-tika vaho linafa-tika naho o tiri’eo naho ondati’e iabio.
34 And we seized all his cities at that time, putting to death their inhabitants: men as well as women and children. We left nothing of them,
Le hene tinavan-tika o rova’eo henane zay, le fonga zinaman-tika ze ondaty ndra rakemba ndra ajaja amo rovao. Tsy napon-tika ndra honka’e.
35 except the cattle, which went to the share of those who plundered them. And we seized the spoils of the cities,
O hareo avao ty rinamben-tika ho fikopahañe rekets’ o raha kinopak’ amo rova tinavan-tikañeoo.
36 from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, a town which is situated in a valley, all the way to Gilead. There was not a village or city which escaped from our hands. The Lord our God delivered everything to us,
Boak’ Arore aolo’ i vavatane Arnoney (rekets’ i rova am-bavataney) pake Gilàde le tsy teo ty rova loho abo tsy nilefe, fonga natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika amantika.
37 except the land of the sons of Ammon, which we did not approach, and all that is adjacent to the torrent Jabbok, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God prohibited to us.”
Fe tsy niharinea’ areo o tanen’ ana’ i Amoneo, ndra aia aia amy saka’ Iabokey ndra amo rova ambohibohitseio, ndra aia aia nandrarà’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika antika.
