< 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.
Cathut ni kai koe bout a dei e patetlah kaimouh ni kamlang awh vaiteh, Tuipui paling kahrawng lahoi ka cei teh Seir mon hah moi ka saw lah ka lawngven awh.
2 This is when the Lord told me,
Cathut nihai, nangmouh ni atueng akuep nahan hete mon hah na lawngven awh toe.
3 “You have been wandering around this mountain long enough. Go back north,
Atunglah bout cet awh ei.
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.
Nang ni tami pueng koe na dei pouh hane teh, na hmau Esaw miphunnaw a onae Seir ram teng vah, nangmouh na cei awh toteh ahnimouh ni a taki awh han. Hatdawkvah kâhruetcuet awh.
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.
Rek saueng hanh awh. Ahnimae ram hah, kai ni nangmouh na poe hoeh. Na coungroenae khok hmuen tittouh hai na poe hoeh. Seir mon hateh Esaw yo ka poe toe.
6 Pay them with money for the food you eat and the water you drink.’
Nangmouh ni na canei nahane bu hoi tui hai thoseh, ahnimouh koe tangka hoi na ran awh han.
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.”
Nangmouh ni na tawksaknae pueng dawk, nangmae Cathut ni yawhawinae a poe toe. Hete kahrawngpui dawk nangmouh na lawngven awh e a kongnaw a panue. A kum 40 touh thung nangmae BAWIPA Cathut ni nangmouh hoi cungtalah ao nah, banghai nangmouh dawk panki hoeh telah ati.
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.
Seir ram kaawm e maimae hmau Esaw miphun koe cei awh teh, Elath khopui Eziongeber khopui hoi ka cet e lam tâphai koe ka dawn awh teh, haw hoi bout kamlang awh teh Moab kahrawng lam lahoi ka cei awh.
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.”
BAWIPA Cathut nihai, Moab khocanaw rucat poe awh hanh, tuk awh hanh, ahnimae ram kai ni na poe awh hoeh. Arab ram teh Lot miphunnaw kai ni yo ka poe toe telah ti pouh.
10 (A strong and numerous people called the Emim once lived there. They were as tall as the Anakim,
Ayan vah Anakim miphun patetlah ka rasang kalen e Em miphunnaw teh hote ram dawk ao awh.
11 and just like the Anakim, they were also considered as Rephaim, but the Moabites called them Emim.
Ahnimouh teh, Anakim miphunnaw patetlah ao e lah a pouk awh. Hatnavah Moab ram khocanaw ni ahnimanaw teh EM telah a kaw awh.
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.)
Ayan vah Hor taminaw teh Seir ram vah ao awh. Ahnimouh hah Esaw miphunnaw ni a thei awh teh, ahnimouh onae hmuen dawk ao awh. Hot patetlah Cathut ni a poe e ram hah Isarel miphunnaw ni ati awh.
13 Then the Lord told us, “Go and cross over Zered Brook.” So we crossed over Zered Brook.
Atu cet awh nateh Zered tui rakat awh haw telah a dei e patetlah Ahnimouh ni Zered tui a raka awh.
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.
Kadeshbarnea hmuen koe ahmaloe phanae tueng koehoi ka tâco awh teh Zered tui rakanae tueng totouh kum 38 touh a ro. Cathut ni lawk a kam e patetlah ahmaloe e taran ka tuk thai e ransanaw pueng teh taminaw thungup hoi a due awh.
15 In fact the Lord worked against them to remove them from the camp, until they were all dead.
Ahnimouh raphoe hoeh roukrak, Cathut ni ahnimouh koehoi pâmit hanelah a kut a dâw.
16 Once the people's warriors had died,
Taran ka tuk thai e pueng tamihu thung e koung a pâmit sak hnukkhu,
17 the Lord told me,
Cathut ni nang teh Moab ram,
18 “Today you will cross out of Moab at the border near Ar.
Ar ram a lungui vah sahnin na cei han.
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.”
Ammon miphunnaw teng na pha torei teh ahnimouh rucatnae poe awh hanh, reksaueng awh hanh. Ammon miphunnaw a onae ram hah kai ni nangmouh koe na poe hoeh. Hote ram teh Lot miphunnaw kai ni ka poe toe telah kai koe a dei.
20 (This land was previously considered as the country of the Rephaim who used to live there. However, the Ammonites called them Zamzummites.
Hote ram hai kalenpounge taminaw e hmuen doeh telah taminaw ni a pouk awh. Ayan e tueng dawk, hot patetlae taminaw ni ao awh. Ahnimouh hah Ammon ram khocanaw ni Zamzummim telah a kaw awh.
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,
Hote miphun teh Anakim miphunnaw patetlah kalenpoung kapap poung e taminaw doeh.
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.
Hatei Seir ram dawk kaawm e Esaw miphun e hmalah Hor taminaw hah Cathut ni a raphoe dawkvah, ahnimae hmuen dawk Esaw miphunnaw ni sahnin totouh ao e patetlah koung a pâmit teh ahnimae hmuen dawk Arnonnaw ni ao awh.
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.)
Hot patetlah Hazrim khopui koehoi Gaza khopui totouh ouk kaawm e naw Avvimnaw hai Kaptor khopui ka tâcawt e Kaptor taminaw ni a raphoe awh teh, ahnimanaw a onae hmuen dawk ao awh.
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.
Nangmouh na thaw awh vaiteh cet awh haw, Arnon tuipui raka awh haw. Amor miphun, Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon hoi a talai hah nangmae kut dawk ka poe toung dawkvah, khosak awh nateh hote bawi hah tuk awh.
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.”
Tâmai rahim kaawm e pueng, miphunnaw ni sahnin nangmouh tâsue taki laihoi ao nahan ka sak han. Nangmae kamthang a thai awh vaiteh, puennae, pâyawnae, runae puenghoi a kâhmo awh han telah ati.
26 Moses told the Israelites, “From the Kedemoth Desert I sent messengers with an offer of peace to Sihon, king of Heshbon, telling him,
Kai hai Kedemoth kahrawng hoi Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon koevah patounenaw ka patoun vaiteh,
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.
Aram lungui vah na cetsak haw, na lam dawk dueng ka dawn han. Avoilah aranglah ka phen mahoeh.
28 Sell us food to eat and water to drink for money. Just let us pass through on foot,
Seir ram kaawm e Esaw miphun, Ar ram dawk kaawm e Moab miphunnaw ni kai dawk a sak awh e patetlah ka ca hane rawca thoseh, nei hane tui hai thoseh, tangka hoi yawt lawih.
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.”
Kai teh Cathut ni na poe e ram lah Jordan palang ka raka vaiteh ka pha hoehroukrak Seir ram lungui dawk khok hoi ka cet haw nei telah kâhuikonae lawk hoi ka dei nakunghai,
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.
Kaimouh ka cei nahane Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon ni kâ na poe hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, sahnin kamnue e patetlah nangmae Cathut ni hote siangpahrang nangmae kut dawk na poe hanelah, lung a tha o sak, lungpatanae lungthin a poe.
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.”
Cathut ni hai Sihon siangpahrang hoi a talai hah na poe han. Hote talai hah râw lah na pang hanelah lat lawih telah a dei.
32 Sihon and his whole army came out to fight us at Jahaz.
Hatnavah, Sihon siangpahrang teh amae tami puenghoi Jahaz vah maimanaw na tuk hanelah a tâco.
33 The Lord our God handed him over to us, and we killed him, his sons, and all his army.
Maimae Cathut ni hote siangpahrang hah maimouh koe na poe teh, ama hoi a canaw hoi tami pueng ka thei awh.
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.
Hatnavah ahnie khopui pueng ka tuk awh teh, napui tongpa, camonaw buet touh hai hlung laipalah koung ka pâmit awh.
35 All we took for ourselves was the livestock and plunder from the towns we'd captured.
Saringnaw, khopui dawk e hnopainaw dueng kamamouh hanlah ka la pouh awh.
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.
Arnon tuipui teng kaawm e Aroer khopui hoi Gilead khopui totouh, tuipui teng kaawm e pueng khopuinaw thung, ka tâ thai hoeh e buet touh hai khopui awm hoeh. Maimae Cathut ni a cawngca pueng maimouh dawk na poe.
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.
Hatnavah Ammon miphunnaw a onae talai, Jabbok tuipui hoi talai, mon dawk e khopui hoi maimae Cathut ni na cakâ pouh e bang buet touh hai ka hnai awh hoeh.
