Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke unto me; and we compassed mount Seir many days.
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 spoke unto me, saying:
Mlɔeba la, Yehowa gblɔ nam be,
3 'Ye have compassed this mountain long enough; turn you northward.
“Mienɔ to sia ŋu wòdidi. Mitrɔ ɖo ta anyiehe lɔƒo.
4 And command thou the people, saying: Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you; take ye good heed unto yourselves 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 contend not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given mount Seir unto 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 purchase food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
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 work of thy hand; He hath known thy walking through this great wilderness; these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; 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 So we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah, from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness 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 And the LORD said unto me: 'Be not at enmity with Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give thee of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto 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 Emim dwelt therein aforetime, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim;
“Emitɔwo nɔ afi ma tsã. Wonye dukɔ gã aɖe, eye wodzɔ atsu abe Anak ƒe viwo ene.
11 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
Woyɔa Emitɔwo kple Anaktɔwo be Refaimtɔwo, ke Moabtɔwo yɔa wo be Emitɔwo.
12 And in Seir dwelt the Horites aforetime, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto 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 up, and get you over the brook Zered.' And we went over the brook Zered.
“Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Mitso Zered tɔʋu la azɔ,’ eye míetsoe.
14 And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, were thirty and eight years; until all the generation, even the men of war, were consumed from the midst of the camp, as the LORD swore unto 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 Moreover the hand of the LORD was against them, to discomfit them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
Ɛ̃, Yehowa ƒe asi tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋu va se ɖe esime wo katã woku.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
“Le esia megbe la,
17 that the LORD spoke unto me saying:
Yehowa gblɔ nam be,
18 'Thou art this day to pass over the border of Moab, even Ar;
‘Egbe la, Israelviwo ato Moab nyigba ƒe liƒo dzi le Ar,
19 and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, harass them not, nor contend with them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it unto 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 is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim dwelt therein aforetime; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
“Refaimtɔwo nɔ afi ma hã kpɔ. Amonitɔwo yɔ wo be Zanzumitɔwo.
21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, 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 for the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto 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 Avvim, that dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, that came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead. —
Nenema kee Kaftoritɔwo dze Avitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ du siwo kaka ɖe afi ma va se ɖe keke Gaza ke la dzi.”
24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of Arnon; behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
“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 will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who, when they hear the report of thee, shall tremble, and be in anguish because of 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 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying:
“Tso Kedemot gbegbe la, meɖo ame dɔdɔwo ɖe Fia Sixɔn le Hesbon be míawɔ ŋutifafa kple eƒe amewo.
27 'Let me pass through thy land; I will go along by the highway, I will neither turn unto 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 food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink; only let me pass through on my feet;
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 that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites that dwell in Ar, did unto me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.'
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 king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into thy 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 said unto me: 'Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before thee; begin to possess 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 Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, unto battle at Jahaz.
Eye Sixɔn kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ho aʋa va kpe mí le Yahaz.
33 And the LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
Ke Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la na míeɖu wo dzi, xɔ woƒe duwo katã.
34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every city, the men, and the women, and the little ones; we left none remaining;
Míetsrɔ̃ woƒe nu sia nu kple woƒe nyɔnuwo kple woƒe vidzĩwo katã. Míena naneke tsi agbe o,
35 only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
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 on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, even unto Gilead, there was not a city too high for us: the LORD our God delivered up all before us.
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 Only to the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wheresoever the LORD our God forbade us.
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.
