< Deuteronomy 3 >

1 Then we turned and went by the way of Basan: and Og the king of Basan came out to meet us with his people to fight in Edrai.
Nĩtwacookire tũkĩgarũrũka na tũkĩambata na njĩra tũrorete Bashani, nake Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani akiumagara na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita oke ahũũrane na ithuĩ kũu Edirei.
2 And the Lord said to me: Fear him not: because he is delivered into thy hand, with all his people and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou hast done to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon.
Nake Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũkamwĩtigĩre, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩmũneanĩte hamwe na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita na bũrũri wake moko-inĩ maku. Mwĩke o ũrĩa wekire Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa waathanaga Heshiboni.”
3 So the Lord our God delivered into our hands, Og also the king of Basan, and all his people: and we utterly destroyed them,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai witũ akĩneana Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani moko-inĩ maitũ na mbũtũ yake yothe. Tũkĩmooraga na tũtiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe.
4 Wasting all his cities at one time, there was not a town that escaped us: sixty cities, all the country of Argob the kingdom of Og in Basan.
Ihinda-inĩ rĩu tũkĩmatunya matũũra mao mothe. Gũtirĩ itũũra o na rĩmwe rĩa matũũra mao mĩrongo ĩtandatũ tũtaamatunyire, marĩa maarĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wothe wa Arigobu, ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ogu kũu Bashani.
5 All the cities were fenced with very high walls, and with gates and bars, besides innumerable towns that had no walls.
Matũũra macio mothe maarĩ mairigĩre na hinya, na thingo ndaaya na igũrũ, na ihingo ciarĩ na mĩgĩĩko, na ningĩ no kwarĩ tũtũũra tũingĩ tũtaarĩ tũirigĩre.
6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we had done to Sehon the king of Hesebon, destroying every city, men and women and children:
Nĩtwamanangire biũ, o ta ũrĩa twekĩte Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni, tũkĩananga matũũra mothe manene, o na tũkĩniina arũme na andũ-a-nja o na ciana.
7 But the cattle and the spoils of the cities we took for our prey.
No mahiũ mothe na indo iria twatahire kuuma matũũra macio mao manene nĩtwacioire tũgĩthiĩ nacio.
8 And we took at that time the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan: from the torrent Amen unto the mount Hermon,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ihinda-inĩ rĩu nĩtwatunyanire bũrũri ũrĩa warĩ irathĩro rĩa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, kuuma kũrĩ athamaki acio eerĩ a Aamori, naguo uumĩte kĩanda kĩa Arinoni nginya kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Herimoni.
9 Which the Sidonians call Sarion, and the Amorrhites Sanir:
(Kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni gĩĩtagwo Sirioni nĩ Asidoni; nao Aamori magĩĩtaga Seniru.)
10 All the cities that are situate in the plain, and all the land of Galaad and Basan as far as Selcha and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan.
Nĩtwatahire matũũra mothe marĩa maarĩ kũndũ kwaraganu, na Gileadi guothe, na Bashani guothe, o nginya Saleka na Edirei, matũũra ma kũrĩa Ogu aathanaga kũu Bashani.
11 For only Og king of Basan remained of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is shewn, which is in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, being nine cubits long, and four broad after the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.
(No Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani wiki watigarire harĩ matigari ma Arefai. Gĩtanda gĩake kĩarĩ gĩa cuuma, na kĩarĩ na ũraihu wa makĩria ma buti ikũmi na ithatũ, na wariĩ wa buti ithathatũ. Gĩtanda kĩu kĩrĩ o kũu Raba kwa Aamoni.)
12 And we possessed the land at that time from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, unto the half of mount Galaad: and I gave the cities thereof to Ruben and Gad.
Naguo bũrũri ũrĩa twatunyanire hĩndĩ ĩyo-rĩ, nĩndagaĩire andũ a Rubeni na a Gadi bũrũri ũrĩa warĩ gathigathini wa Aroeri kũnyiitana na kĩanda kĩa Arinoni, hamwe na nuthu ya bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Gileadi, o hamwe na matũũra makuo.
13 And I delivered the other part of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og to the half tribe of Manasses, all the country of Argob: and all Basan is called the Land of giants.
Nakuo kũrĩa kũngĩ guothe gwatigaire kũu Gileadi o na Bashani guothe, kũrĩa Ogu aathanaga, ngĩkũhe nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase. (Bũrũri wothe wa Arigobu kũu Bashani hĩndĩ ĩmwe wetagwo bũrũri wa Arefai.
14 Jair the son of Manasses possessed all the country of Argob unto the borders of Gessuri, and Machati. And he called Basan by his own name, Havoth Jair, that is to say, the towns of Jair, until this present day.
Jairu, wa rũciaro rwa Manase, nĩegwatĩire bũrũri wothe wa Arigobu o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa Ageshuru na Amaakathi; nakuo gũgĩĩtanio nake, nĩ ũndũ ũcio Bashani gwĩtagwo Havothu-Jairu o nginya ũmũthĩ.)
15 To Machir also I gave Galaad.
Na nĩndaheanire Gileadi kũrĩ Makiru.
16 And to the tribes of Ruben and Gad I gave of the land of Galaad as far as the torrent Amen, half the torrent, and the confines even unto the torrent Jeboc, which is the border of the children of Ammon:
No andũ a Rubeni na a Gadi ndaamaheire bũrũri ũrĩa uumĩte Gileadi ũgaikũrũka nginya kĩanda kĩa Arinoni (mũhaka warĩ gatagatĩ ga kĩanda kĩu), ũgacooka ũgakinya rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jaboku, arĩ ruo mũhaka wa Aamoni.
17 And the plain of the wilderness, and the Jordan, and the borders of Cenereth unto the sea of the desert, which is the most salt sea, to the foot of mount Phasga eastward.
Mũhaka wakuo wa mwena wa ithũĩro warĩ Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani kũu Araba, kuuma Kinerethu nginya Iria-inĩ rĩa Araba (nĩrĩo Iria rĩa Cumbĩ), mũhuro wa iharũrũka cia Pisiga.
18 And I commanded you at that time, saying: The Lord your God giveth you this land for an inheritance, go ye well appointed before your brethren the children of Israel, all the strong men of you,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩndamwathire ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩamũheete bũrũri ũyũ mũwĩgwatĩre. No andũ anyu arĩa marĩ na hinya, arĩa meeohete indo cia mbaara, no nginya maringe mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli ariũ a ithe wanyu.
19 Leaving your wives and children and cattle. For I know you have much cattle, and they must remain in the cities, which I have delivered to you.
No rĩrĩ, atumia anyu, na ciana cianyu, o na ũhiũ wanyu (nĩnjũũĩ nĩ mũrĩ na ũhiũ mũingĩ) no maikare matũũra-inĩ marĩa ndĩmũheete,
20 Until the Lord give rest to your brethren, as he hath given to you: and they also possess the land, which he will give them beyond the Jordan: then shall every man return to his possession, which I have given you.
nginya rĩrĩa Jehova akaahe ariũ a thoguo ũhurũko ta ũrĩa amũheete inyuĩ, nao makorwo meyoeire bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu ekũmahe, mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, o mũndũ wanyu no acooke handũ harĩa ndĩmũheete mwĩgwatĩre hatuĩke hanyu.”
21 I commanded Josue also at that time, saying: Thy eyes have seen what the Lord your God hath done to these two kings: so will he do to all the kingdoms to which thou shalt pass.
Ningĩ ngĩatha Joshua ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩwĩoneire na maitho maku ũrĩa wothe Jehova Ngai wanyu ekĩte athamaki acio eerĩ. Ũguo noguo Jehova ageeka mothamaki marĩa mothe marĩ kũndũ kũu mũrathiĩ.
22 Fear them not: for the Lord your God will fight for you.
Ndũkanametigĩre; Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩwe ũrĩmũrũagĩrĩra.”
23 And I besought the Lord at that time, saying:
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩndathaithire Jehova ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ:
24 Lord God, thou hast begun to shew unto thy servant thy greatness, and most mighty hand, for there is no other God either in heaven or earth, that is able to do thy works, or to be compared to thy strength.
“We Mwathani Jehova, nĩwambĩrĩirie kuonia ndungata yaku ũnene waku na hinya wa guoko gwaku. Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩ ngai ĩrĩkũ igũrũ kana thĩ ĩngĩĩka ciĩko cia hinya ta iria wee wĩkaga?
25 I will pass over therefore, and will see this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this goodly mountain, and Libanus.
Reke ninge kũndũ kũu mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani ngeyonere bũrũri mwega, bũrũri ũcio mwega ũrĩ irĩma o na bũrũri wa Lebanoni.”
26 And the Lord was angry with me on your account and heard me not, but said to me: It is enough: speak no more to me of this matter.
No nĩ ũndũ wanyu-rĩ, Jehova nĩandakarĩire na ndangĩathikĩrĩirie. Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Reke ũhoro ũcio ũkinye hau, ndũkanjarĩrie rĩngĩ ũndũ wĩgiĩ ũhoro ũcio.
27 Go up to the top of Phasga, and cast thy eyes round about to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east, and behold it, for thou shalt not pass this Jordan.
Ambata gacũmbĩrĩ ga kĩrĩma kĩa Pisiga wĩrorere mwena wa ithũĩro, na wa gathigathini, na wa gũthini, o na wa irathĩro. Wĩrorere bũrũri ũcio na maitho maku, nĩ ũndũ ndũkũringa rũũĩ rũrũ rwa Jorodani.
28 Command Josue, and encourage and strengthen him: for he shall go before this people, and shall divide unto them the land which thou shalt see.
No rĩrĩ, taara Joshua, na ũmũũmĩrĩrie, na ũmwĩkĩre hinya, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe ũgaatongoria andũ aya maringe mathiĩ mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ, na atũme magae bũrũri ũcio ũkuona.”
29 And we abode in the valley over against the temple of Phogor.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩikara kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ hakuhĩ na Bethi-Peori.
