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.

“Pea naʻa tau tafoki, ʻo ʻalu hake ʻi he hala ki Pesani: pea naʻe haʻu kituaʻā ʻa Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani ke tauʻi ʻakitautolu, ʻaia mo hono kakai kotoa pē, ʻi ʻEtilei.

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.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē kiate ia: he te u tukuange ia, mo hono kakai kotoa pē, mo hono fonua ki ho nima; pea te ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ke fai kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesiponi.’

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,

“Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻa Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani ki hotau nima, mo hono kakai kotoa pē: pea naʻa tau teʻia ia ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha tokotaha kiate ia.

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.

Pea naʻa tau maʻu ʻene ngaahi kolo ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻe ʻikai toe ha kolo ʻe taha naʻa tau taʻelavaʻi ʻiate kinautolu, ko e kolo ʻe onongofulu, ko e potu fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻAkopa, ko e puleʻanga ʻo Oki ʻi Pesani.

5 All the cities were fenced with very high walls, and with gates and bars, besides innumerable towns that had no walls.

Ko e ngaahi kolo ni naʻe ʻāʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻā māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi songo; kaeʻumaʻā ʻae ngaahi kolo taʻeʻā naʻe lahi ʻaupito.

6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we had done to Sehon the king of Hesebon, destroying every city, men and women and children:

Pea naʻa tau fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa tau fai kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kakai tangata, mo e fefine, mo e fānau, ʻoe kolo kotoa pē.

7 But the cattle and the spoils of the cities we took for our prey.

Ka ko e fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e vete ʻoe ngaahi kolo, naʻa tau toʻo ko e koloa maʻatautolu.

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,

“Pea naʻa tau maʻu ʻi he kuonga ko ia mei he nima ʻoe ongo tuli ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻae ngaahi fonua ʻoku ʻi he potu mai ʻo Sioatani, mei he vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni ʻo aʻu atu ki he moʻunga ko Heamoni;

9 Which the Sidonians call Sarion, and the Amorrhites Sanir:

(ʻAe Heamoni ko ia ʻoku ui ʻe he kau Saitoni ko Silioni; pea ʻoku ui ia ʻe he kakai ʻAmoli ko Sina; )

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.

Ko e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻoe toafa, mo Kiliati kotoa pē, mo Pesani kotoa pē, ʻo aʻu ki Salika mo ʻEtilei, ko e ngaahi kolo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani.”

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.

He naʻe toe pe ʻa Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani ʻi he toenga kakai lalahi; vakai, ko hono mohenga ko e mohenga ukamea; ʻikai ʻoku ʻi Lapate ia ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni? Ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ma valu ʻa hono lōloa, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe valu, ʻo fakatatau ki he hanga ʻoe tangata.

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.

“Pea ko e fonua ni, naʻa tau maʻu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, mei ʻAloeli ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he vaitafe ko ʻAlanoni, mo hono vaeua mālieʻanga ʻoe moʻunga ko Kiliati, mo hono ngaahi kolo ʻo ia, ne u ʻatu ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata.

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.

Pea ko hono toe ʻo Kiliati, mo Pesani kotoa pē, ʻaia ko e puleʻanga ʻo Oki, naʻaku ʻatu ki hono vaeua ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase; ʻae ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻAkopa, mo Pesani kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ui ko e fonua ʻoe kakai lalahi.”

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.

Ko Saili ko e foha ʻo Manase naʻa ne maʻu ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻAkopa ʻo aʻu atu ki he potu

15 To Machir also I gave Galaad.

ʻo Kesuli mo Meʻekati; pea naʻa ne ui ia ki hono hingoa ʻoʻona, ko Peasini-hevatisaili ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. Pea ne u ʻatu ʻa Kiliati kia Mekili.

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:

Pea ne u ʻatu ki he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni mo e faʻahinga ʻo Kata mei Kiliati ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe ko ʻAlanoni hono vaeua ʻoe vahaʻa moʻunga, mo hono mata fonua ʻo aʻu atu ki he vaitafe ko Sapoki, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni:

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.

Ko e toafa foki, mo Sioatani, mo hono ngataʻanga ʻo ia, mei Kinileti ʻo aʻu atu ki he tahi ʻoe toafa, ʻio ki he tahi kona, ʻi lalo ʻi ʻAsitotipisika ʻi he potu hahake.”

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,

“Pea ne u fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ni ke mou maʻu: te mou ʻalu atu mo e mahafu ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku faʻa fai ʻae tau.

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.

Ka ko homou ngaahi uaifi, mo hoʻomou fānau siʻi, mo hoʻomou fanga manu, (he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku lahi hoʻomou fanga manu, ) tenau nofo ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi kolo ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu;

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.

Ke ʻoua ke foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae mālōlō ki homou kāinga, ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu, pea ke ʻoua ke maʻu ʻekinautolu foki ʻae fonua ko ia kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani: pea te mou toki liu mai ʻae tangata kotoa pē ki hono tofiʻa, ʻaia kuo u tuku kiate kimoutolu.’

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.

“Pea ne u fekauʻi ʻa Siosiua ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mamata ʻe ho mata ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ki he ongo tuʻi ni: ʻe fai pehē pe ʻe Sihova ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai.

22 Fear them not: for the Lord your God will fight for you.

‌ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē kiate kinautolu: he koeʻuhi ʻe tau ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua maʻamoutolu.’

23 And I besought the Lord at that time, saying:

“Pea ne u fakakolekole kia Sihova ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē,

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.

‘ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, kuo ke kamata fakahā ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ho lahi, mo ho nima mālohi; he ko hai ha ʻOtua ʻi langi pe ʻi māmani, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, pea tatau mo ho māfimafi?

25 I will pass over therefore, and will see this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this goodly mountain, and Libanus.

‌ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku au ke u ʻalu atu, ʻo mamata ki he fonua lelei ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa Sioatani, ʻae moʻunga matamatalelei ko ia, mo Lepanoni.’

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.

Ka naʻe houhau ʻa Sihova kiate au koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga kiate au: pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘Ke ke fiemālie pe koe; pea ʻoua naʻa ke toe lea kiate au ʻi he meʻa ni.

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.

‌ʻAlu hake koe ki he tumutumu ʻo Pisika, pea hanga atu ho mata ki lulunga, mo tokelau, mo tonga, mo hihifo, pea vakai ʻaki ia ho mata: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke laka ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.

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.

Ka ke fekauʻi ʻa Siosiua, mo tokoni lelei kiate ia, mo fakamālohi ia: koeʻuhi ʻe muʻomuʻa ia ʻi he kakai ni, pea te ne fakahoko atu ʻakinautolu kenau maʻu ʻae fonua ʻaia te ke mamata ki ai.’

29 And we abode in the valley over against the temple of Phogor.

“Pea naʻa tau nofo ai ʻi he potu māʻulalo ʻoku hangatonu ki Pete Peoli.”
