< Deuteronomy 2 >

1 Then we turned around and headed back into the desert on the road that leads to the Red Sea, as the Lord had told me, and we wandered around Mount Seir for a long time.
Chuin gamthip lang jondin ikiheiyun Twipisan lam jon in icheuvin, Pakaiyin asei bang in, Seir molsang lama chun phat sottah lungdong in ivah leleuvin ahi.
2 This is when the Lord told me,
Hichun Pakaiyin hiti hin eiseipeh in,
3 “You have been wandering around this mountain long enough. Go back north,
Nangho gamthip lah a lungdong in naum sot lheh tauve; sahlam gamkai mano tauvin.
4 and give these orders to the people: ‘You are going to pass through the territory of your relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be frightened of you, so you need to be very careful.
Thupeh hichengse hi mipi henga seiyin: “Nanghon na sopiu Esau chilhah Edom mite chenna Seir mun na jotpa diu ahi. Edom mite chu kichat nan alhun den theiju ahi, ching theiyun.”
5 Don't fight them, for I'm not going to give you any of their land, not even the size of a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau and it belongs to him.
Aheng uva ima na ngeh lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu keiman Seir gam jouse amaho kapeh ahitan, nangho gambeh neocha jong na kipe theilou diu ahi.
6 Pay them with money for the food you eat and the water you drink.’
An leh twi nangai chat uva ahileh, aman napeh uva na kichoh cheh diu ahi.
7 Remember that the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you've done. He has looked after you during your journey through this large desert. The Lord your God has been with you for these forty years, and you haven't lacked anything.”
Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in nabol natoh jouseu phatthei abohtan. Aman gamthip noiya kal nason chan geiyuva pat ave lhih jing in. Kum somli sung in Pakai, Pathen in lhasam louvin na umpiuve.
8 So we passed by our relatives, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We didn't take the Arabah road from Elath and Ezion-geber. Instead we used the road that goes through the desert of Moab.
Chuin Esau chilhah ho chenna Seir mun igalkai uvin. Arabah phaicham kiti Elath le Ezion-geber akon hungna lampi vang ipeldoh uvin ahi. Hiti chun sahlam nelgam lam juiyin Moab lam ino tauvin ahi.
9 Then the Lord told me, “Don't cause the Moabites any trouble or fight them, for I'm not going to give you any of their land, because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot and it belongs to them.”
Chuin Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Lot chilhah Moab mite na suhgim lou diu, gal jong na bolkhum lou hel diu ahi. Ar gam Leiset pumpi amaho kapeh ahitan, nangho gam beh neokhat jong na chan thei lou diu ahi.”
10 (A strong and numerous people called the Emim once lived there. They were as tall as the Anakim,
(Mihat Emim mite chu Ar muna ana cheng uvin ahi. Amaho chu asang thei un chule atha u-jong ahat in Anakim mite tobang chu ahiuve.
11 and just like the Anakim, they were also considered as Rephaim, but the Moabites called them Emim.
Emimte le Anakim ho chu Rephaim tinjong akiheuvin, Moab miten vang Emim tin akou un ahi.
12 Previously the Horites lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau took over their land. They killed the Horites and settled there, just like Israel did when they occupied the land that the Lord had given them.)
Masang chun Hor mite chu Seir muna ana cheng uvin, hinlah amaho chu Esau chilhahte hotoh gal ana kibol uvin, Hor mite chu ana jamdoh tauvin. Israel miten Canaan mite adel gam uva agam pumpi Pakai in apeh tobang’u ahi.)
13 Then the Lord told us, “Go and cross over Zered Brook.” So we crossed over Zered Brook.
Mose’n avelin aseiyin, ‘Chuin Pakaiyin iheng uva hiti hin aseiye, Zered galkai ding in che uvin, ati bang in igalkai tauvin ahi.
14 The time it took for us to travel from Kadesh-barnea to when we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years. By this time the entire generation of warriors had died and were no longer part of the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them would happen.
Kadesh Burnea ihin dalhah kal-u kum somthum le get ahitan, Pasal galsat thei jouse gamthip la h a athisoh tauve. Hichu Pakaiyin atep banga thilsoh ahi.
15 In fact the Lord worked against them to remove them from the camp, until they were all dead.
Pakaiyin asuh manghel kahseuvin, amaho chu adou in ahi.
16 Once the people's warriors had died,
Galbol thei pasal jouse athi gam phat chun,
17 the Lord told me,
Pakaiyin ka henga hiti hin aseiyin,
18 “Today you will cross out of Moab at the border near Ar.
Tunia hi Ar muna pat Moab gamgi na galkai diu
19 However, when you get enter Ammonite territory, don't cause them any trouble or fight them for I'm not going to give you any Ammonite land, because I have given it to the descendants of Lot and it belongs to them.”
Lot chilhah Ammon mite chenna nalut diu, hinlah amaho na suhgim lou diu gal jong nabol khum lou diu ahi. Hiche gam hi Ammon mite kapeh ahitan, agam hi nnag ho kapeh thei louding ahitai.
20 (This land was previously considered as the country of the Rephaim who used to live there. However, the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
(Hiche gam chu Rephaim mite gam'a ana kihe ahin, Ammon miten vang Zamzummim mite atiuve.
21 They were a strong and numerous people, as tall as the Anakim. But the Lord destroyed them when the Ammonites invaded and drove them out and settled there,
Amaho jong chu asang thei un chule athau ahat thei uvin Anakim mite tobang ahiuve. Hinlah Pakaiyin amaho chu asugamhel tauvin ahileh, chuin Ammon miten agam alo tauve.
22 just as he'd done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir when he destroyed the Horites. They drove them out and settled where they used to live, and are still there to this day.
Pakaiyin Seir muna Esau chilhahte dinga na-atoh bang bang in abol in chule Hor mite asugam in ahileh hiche muna chun amaho acheng tauvin ahi. Hijeh chun Esau chilhahte tuni changeiyin acheng tauvin ahi.
23 The Avvim, living in villages as far away as Gaza, were destroyed by the Philistines, who came from Crete, and settled where they used to live.)
Hiche tobang hin Crete apat Caphtorit mite chunga thilsoh ana lhung in, Avvit mite chu anasu-gam hel uvin, Gaza khopi chan alo tauve.)
24 Then the Lord told us, “Get up, go and cross the Arnon Valley. Look, I have handed over to you Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, as well as his land. Go and start taking it over, and fight him in battle.
Mose’n avelin aseiyin, ‘Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, tun Arnon Gorge mun galkai ding in che tauvin! Vetan, Sihon, Amorite Hesbon lengpa khu nakhut uva kapeh doh ding chule agam pumpi nangma na chan ding ahi. Nokhum unlang agam khu lo tauvin.
25 From this day on, I'm going to make all nations on earth dread you—they will be terrified of you. Because of the news they hear about you they will tremble in terror when you appear.”
Tu nikhoa kipat gam Leiset a cheng mihemte chunga tijatna kalhun sah ding ahi. Nachung chang thu-u ahin jah doh tenguleh kichat nan alhun den diu ahi.
26 Moses told the Israelites, “From the Kedemoth Desert I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon, king of Heshbon, telling him,
Mose’n aseikit in, ‘Kadeshmoth gamthip apat Heshbon lengpa Sihon henga chamna thuseiyin palai khat kasol in:
27 ‘Let us pass through your land. We'll stay on the main road and won't turn off either to the right or to the left.
Nagam sung ka jotpa diu ahi. Lampi jeng ka jotpa diu amavang, akimvel lah kahopa lou diu ahi.
28 Sell us food to eat and water to drink for money. Just let us pass through on foot,
Anneh ding le twidon ding neipe uvin, hichu aman kapeh diu ahi. Thil ijakai chung chona kangai chat pipen uchu ahileh nagam ka jotpa uva kagal kai diu hi ahi.
29 just like the descendants of Esau living in Seir and the Moabites living in Ar allowed us, until we cross over the Jordan into the country that the Lord our God is giving to us.”
Seir muna Esau chilhahten agam kajotpa uva ka galkai nadiu eiphal peh uvin, hiche tobang chun Ar muna cheng Moab mite jeng in jong abol uvin ahi. Hijeh chun Pakai, Pathen in eipeh nau gam Jordan vadung ka gal kaithei na diuvin nagam sung nei jotsah tauvin katiuve.
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through, for the Lord your God gave him a stubborn spirit and an obstinate attitude, so the Lord could hand him over to you, as he has now done.
Hinlah Heshbon muna Sihon lengpan agamsung hopa ding chu anom tapoi, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in Sihon lengpa lungthim chu asutah in chuin Pakaiyin eiki thopi uvin ahileh galjona chu eipe tauve.
31 Then the Lord told me, “Look, I have started handing Sihon and his land over to you. Now you can begin to conquer and take over his land.”
Chuin Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiyin, Vetan, Keiman tua kipat Sihon lengpa leh agam leiset na khut uva kapeh doh pan ahitai. Tun kipan uvin agam pumpi lo ding in kon tauvin, ati.
32 Sihon and his whole army came out to fight us at Jahaz.
Chuin Sihon lenpan eiho chunga gal bol ding in kho lhang asam tan, Jahaz apat agalsat miho henga hetsahna aneiyin ahi.
33 The Lord our God handed him over to us, and we killed him, his sons, and all his army.
Ahinlah Pakai, Pathen in eiho khut a apedoh tan ahileh, achapate chule amite jouse jaonan i-satgam hel tauvin gal jona i-chang tauvin ahi.
34 We also captured all his towns, and set apart for destruction the people of every town: men, women, and children. We didn't leave any survivors.
Akhopi jouse leh amite jouse abonchan ithat gam hel tauvin, hichu pasal jouse leh numei chapang jaona ahi. Mihem khat a khat cha jeng jong asohcha tapon ahi.
35 All we took for ourselves was the livestock and plunder from the towns we'd captured.
Khopi sunga gancha jouse abonchan ichom tauvin chule thil ijakai manlu jouse jong i-chang tauvin ahi.
36 No town had walls too high for us to conquer—from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley, the town in the valley, all the way to Gilead. The Lord our God handed them all over to us.
Pakai, Pathen in ei-panpi uvin ahileh Aroer kiti Arnon Gorge, Gorge khopi chule agam pumpi Gilead chan geiyin abonchan ijousoh hel tauvin ahi.
37 But you didn't go anywhere near the country of the Ammonites—the area that borders the Jabbok River or the towns of the hill country, or any other place that the Lord our God had placed off limits.
Ijeh inem itileh, Ammon mite gam dalhan Jabbok vadung chule gamsunga khopi ho, Pakai thupeh bang banga i-dalhah jal’u ahi.
