Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned, and tooke our iourney into the wildernes, by the way of the red Sea, as the Lord spake vnto me: and we compassed mount Seir a long time.
Míetrɔ, gbugbɔ to gbegbe la heɖo ta Ƒu Dzĩ la gbɔ, elabena nenemae Yehowa ɖo nam. Míetsa tsaglalã le Seir to la gbɔ ƒe geɖewo.
2 And the Lord spake vnto me, saying,
Mlɔeba la, Yehowa gblɔ nam be,
3 Ye haue compassed this mountaine long ynough: turne you Northward.
“Mienɔ to sia ŋu wòdidi. Mitrɔ ɖo ta anyiehe lɔƒo.
4 And warne thou the people, saying, Ye shall go through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraide of you: take ye good heede therefore.
Gblɔ na ameawo be wole wo nɔviwo, Edomtɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi to ge. Ame siawoe nye Esau ƒe dzidzimevi siwo le Seir. Dzidzi aƒo Edomtɔwo, eya ta mikpɔ nyuie.
5 Ye shall not prouoke them: for I wil not giue you of their land so much as a foot breadth, because I haue giuen mount Seir vnto Esau for a possession.
Migaho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu o, elabena metsɔ Seir to la ƒe tonyigbawo katã na wo tegbetegbe, eye nyematsɔ woƒe anyigba ƒe kakɛ aɖeke ana mi o.
6 Ye shall buy meate of them for money to eate, and ye shall also procure water of them for money to drinke.
Mixe fe na wo ɖe woƒe nu si miaɖu kple woƒe tsi si ŋu dɔ miawɔ la ta.”
7 For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the workes of thine hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wildernes, and the Lord thy God hath bene with thee this fourtie yeere, and thou hast lacked nothing.
Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la kpɔ mía ta, eye wòyra míaƒe afɔɖeɖe ɖe sia ɖe le míaƒe mɔzɔzɔ me le ƒe blaene siawo katã me, esime míetsa tsaglalã le gbegbe gã la. Naneke mehiã mí le ɣeyiɣi ma katã me o!
8 And when we were departed from our brethren the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plaine, from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and went by the way of the wildernes of Moab.
Ale míeto Edom, afi si mía nɔviwo Esau viwo nɔ le Seir. Míeto Araba mɔ si to anyigbeme yi Elat kple Ezion Geber, eye míeto dzigbeme ɖo ta Moab gbegbe la.
9 Then the Lord sayd vnto me, Thou shalt not vexe Moab, neither prouoke them to battel: for I wil not giue thee of their land for a possession, because I haue giuen Ar vnto the children of Lot for a possession.
Yehowa míaƒe Mawu de se na mí be, “Migaho aʋa ɖe Moabtɔwo hã ŋu o, elabena nyematsɔ woƒe anyigba ƒe akpa aɖeke na mi o. Metsɔe na Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo!”
10 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great and many, and tall, as the Anakims.
“Emitɔwo nɔ afi ma tsã. Wonye dukɔ gã aɖe, eye wodzɔ atsu abe Anak ƒe viwo ene.
11 They also were taken for gyants as the Anakims: whom the Moabites call Emims.
Woyɔa Emitɔwo kple Anaktɔwo be Refaimtɔwo, ke Moabtɔwo yɔa wo be Emitɔwo.
12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir before time, whome the children of Esau chased out and destroyed them before them, and dwelt in their steade: as Israel shall doe vnto the land of his possession, which the Lord hath giuen them.
Horitɔwoe nɔ Seir tsã, ke Edomtɔwo, Esau ƒe dzidzimeviwo nya wo hexɔ wo teƒe abe ale si Israelviwo ava xɔ Kanaantɔwo, ame siwo ƒe anyigba Yehowa tsɔ na Israelviwo la teƒe ene.
13 Now rise vp, sayd I, and get you ouer the riuer Zered: and we went ouer the riuer Zered.
“Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Mitso Zered tɔʋu la azɔ,’ eye míetsoe.
14 The space also wherein we came from Kadesh-barnea, vntill we were come ouer the riuer Zered, was eight and thirtie yeeres, vntill all the generation of the men of warre were wasted out from among the hoste, as the Lord sware vnto them.
“Ale míezɔ mɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-enyi hafi te ŋu to Zered mlɔeba, heɖo Kades, elabena Yehowa ka atam be míaɖo Kades o, va se ɖe esime ame siwo katã tsi ate ŋu ayi aʋa le ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-enyi si va yi me la katã ku hafi.
15 For in deede the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the hoste, till they were consumed.
Ɛ̃, Yehowa ƒe asi tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋu va se ɖe esime wo katã woku.
16 So when all the men of warre were consumed and dead from among the people:
“Le esia megbe la,
17 Then the Lord spake vnto me, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ nam be,
18 Thou shalt goe through Ar the coast of Moab this day:
‘Egbe la, Israelviwo ato Moab nyigba ƒe liƒo dzi le Ar,
19 And thou shalt come neere ouer against the children of Ammon: but shalt not lay siege vnto them, nor moue warre against them: for I will not giue thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession: for I haue giuen it vnto the children of Lot for a possession.
age ɖe Amonitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi. Ke migaho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu o, elabena nyematsɔ woƒe anyigba ƒe akpa aɖeke na mi o. Metsɔe na Lot ƒe dzidzimeviwo.’
20 That also was taken for a land of gyants: for gyants dwelt therein afore time, whome the Ammonites called Zamzummims:
“Refaimtɔwo nɔ afi ma hã kpɔ. Amonitɔwo yɔ wo be Zanzumitɔwo.
21 A people that was great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims: but the Lord destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them in their inheritance, and dwelt in their stead:
Wonye dukɔ gã sesẽ aɖe, eye wokɔ abe Anaktɔwo ene. Ke Yehowa tsrɔ̃ wo esime Amoritɔwo va anyigba la dzi, eye woxɔ wo teƒe.
22 As he did to the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims before them, and they possessed them, and dwelt in their stead vnto this day.
Nenema ke Yehowa kpe ɖe Esau ƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋu le Seir to la gbɔ, eye wotsrɔ̃ Horitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ afi ma do ŋgɔ na wo.
23 And the Auims which dwelt in Hazarim euen vnto Azzah, the Caphtorims which came out of Caphtor destroyed them, and dwelt in their steade.
Nenema kee Kaftoritɔwo dze Avitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ du siwo kaka ɖe afi ma va se ɖe keke Gaza ke la dzi.”
24 Rise vp therefore, sayd the Lord: take your iourney, and passe ouer the riuer Arnon: beholde, I haue giuen into thy hand Sihon, the Amorite, King of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possesse it and prouoke him to battell.
“Azɔ Yehowa gblɔ nam be, Mitso Arnon tɔsisi la, miage ɖe Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia, ame si le Hesbon la ƒe anyigba dzi. Miwɔ aʋa kpli wo, eye miade asi anyigba la xɔxɔ me.
25 This day wil I begin to send thy feare and thy dread, vpon all people vnder the whole heauen, which shall heare thy fame, and shall tremble and quake before thee.
Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, mana anyigbadzitɔwo katã nade asi dzodzo me nyanyanya le mia vɔvɔ̃ kple miaƒe afi ma ɖoɖo ta.”
26 Then I sent messengers out of the wildernes of Kedemoth vnto Sihon King of Heshbon, with wordes of peace, saying,
“Tso Kedemot gbegbe la, meɖo ame dɔdɔwo ɖe Fia Sixɔn le Hesbon be míawɔ ŋutifafa kple eƒe amewo.
27 Let me passe through thy land: I will go by the hie way: I will neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left.
Míebia be, ‘Na míato wò anyigba dzi ayi. Míanɔ mɔ gã la dzi ko; míage ɖe miaƒe agblewo me le ɖusime loo alo miame o.
28 Thou shalt sell me meate for money, for to eate, and shalt giue me water for money for to drinke: onely I will go through on my foote,
Míafi miaƒe nuɖuɖu ne míele eme tsom o, ke boŋ míaxe fe ɖe miaƒe nu si míaɖu kple miaƒe tsi si míano la ta. Nu si biam míele koe nye be míato wò anyigba dzi ayi.’
29 (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did vnto me) vntill I be come ouer Iorden, into the land which the Lord our God giueth vs.
Edomtɔwo ɖe mɔ na mí le Seir míeto woƒe anyigba dzi. Moabtɔwo hã wɔ nenema ke na mi le Ar. Míele mɔ dzi be míatso Yɔdan, ayi anyigba si Yehowa míaƒe Mawu tsɔ na mí la dzi.”
30 But Sihon the King of Heshbon would not let vs passe by him: for the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, because hee would deliuer him into thine hand, as appeareth this day.
Ke Hesbon fia Sixɔn melɔ̃ be mía egbɔ ayi o, elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la na wòsẽ dzi me, ale be wòate ŋu aɖe asi le Sixɔn ŋu na mi abe ale si wòwɔe fifia ene.
31 And the Lord sayd vnto me, Beholde, I haue begun to giue Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possesse and inherite his land.
Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Medze Fia Sixɔn ƒe anyigba tsɔtsɔ na mi gɔme. Ne miexɔe la, azu Israelviwo tɔ tegbetegbe.”
32 Then came out Sihon to meete vs, him selfe with all his people to fight at Iahaz.
Eye Sixɔn kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ho aʋa va kpe mí le Yahaz.
33 But the Lord our God deliuered him into our power, and we smote him, and his sonnes, and all his people.
Ke Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la na míeɖu wo dzi, xɔ woƒe duwo katã.
34 And we tooke all his cities the same time, and destroyed euery citie, men, and women, and children: we let nothing remaine.
Míetsrɔ̃ woƒe nu sia nu kple woƒe nyɔnuwo kple woƒe vidzĩwo katã. Míena naneke tsi agbe o,
35 Onely the cattell we tooke to our selues, and the spoyle of the cities which we tooke,
negbe woƒe nyiwo ko. Míetsɔ woƒe nyiwo abe míaƒe fetu ene kpe ɖe afunyinu siwo míelɔ tso woƒe du siwo míexɔ me la ŋu.
36 From Aroer, which is by the banke of the riuer of Arnon, and from the citie that is vpon the riuer, euen vnto Gilead: there was not one citie that escaped vs: for the Lord our God deliuered vp all before vs.
Míexɔ teƒe ɖe sia ɖe tso Aroer yi Gilead, tso Arnon tɔsisi la ƒe balime ƒe liƒo dzi kple du siwo katã le bali la me. Woƒe du aɖeke mesẽ wu mí o elabena Yehowa, mía Mawu la tsɔ wo katã de asi na mí.
37 Onely vnto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor vnto any place of the riuer Iabbok, nor vnto the cities in the mountaines, nor vnto whatsoeuer the Lord our God forbade vs.
Ke míegblẽ Amonitɔwo kple Yabok tɔsisi la kple du siwo le tonyigba la dzi kple teƒe siwo me Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu, de se na mí be míagage ɖo o la ɖi.
