< Deuteronomy 3 >

1 And we turned and went by the way leading to Basan; and Og the king of Basan came out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle at Edraim.
Kisha tuligeuka na kwenda njia ya juu Bashani. Ogi, mfalme wa Bashani, alikuja na kutuvamia, yeye na watu wake wote, kupigana huko Edrei.
2 And the Lord said to me, Fear him not, for I have delivered him, and all his people, and all his land, into your hands; and you shall do to him as you did to Seon king of the Amorites who lived in Esebon.
Yahwe aliniambia mimi, “Usimuogope; kwa kuwa nimekupa ushindi dhidi yake na nimewaweka watu wake wote na nchi yake chini ya utawala wako. Utamfanya kama ulivyomfanya Sihoni, mfalme wa Amorites, aliyeishi Heshbon.
3 And the Lord our God delivered him into our hands, even Og the king of Basan, and all his people; and we struck him until we left none of his seed.
Kwa hiyo Yahwe Mungu wetu pia alitupa ushindi dhidi ya Ogi mfalme wa Bashani, na watu wake wote waliwekwa chini ya utawala wetu. Na tulimpiga mpaka kufa na hakuna yoyote wa watu wake walibaki.
4 And we mastered all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we took not from them; sixty cities, all the country round about Argob, belonging to king Og in Basan:
Tulichukua miji yake yote kwa wakati huo; hapakuwa na mji hata mmoja ambao hatukuchukua kutoka kwao: miji sitini - mikoa ya Argobi yote, ufalme wa Ogi Bashani.
5 all strong cities, lofty walls, gates and bars; besides the very many cities of the Pherezites.
Hii ilikuwa miji iliyoimarishwa na kuta ndevu, malango, na vizuizi, hii ilikuwa licha ya vijiji vingi sana vilivyokuwa havina kuta.
6 We utterly destroyed [them] as we dealt with Seon the king of Esebon, so we utterly destroyed every city in order, and the women and the children,
Tuliviangamiza kabisa, kama tulivyofanya kwa Sihoni mfalme wa Heshbon, kabisa tuliangamiza kila mji- wanaume na wanawake na watoto wadogo.
7 and all the cattle; and we took for a prey to ourselves the spoil of the cities.
Lakini ng'ombe wote na mateka ya miji, tilichukua kama mateka wetu.
8 And we took at that time the land out of the hands of the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, [extending] from the brook of Arnon even to Aermon.
Kwa wakati huo tulichukua nchi kutoka kwenye mkono wa wafalme wawili wa Amorites, waliokuwa ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani, kutoka kwenye bonde la Arnon kwenda mlima wa Hermoni,
9 The Phoenicians call Aermon Sanior, but the Amorite has called it Sanir.
(Mlima wa Hermoni, Wasidonia huita Sirioni, na Wamorites huita Seniri)
10 All the cities of Misor, and all Galaad, and all Basan as far as Elcha and Edraim, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan.
na miji yote ya tambarare, yote Gileadi, na yote Bashani kupita njia yote ya Salekah na Edrei, miji ya ufalme wa Ogi huko Bashani”.
11 For only Og the king of Basan was left of the Raphain: behold, his bed [was] a bed of iron; behold, [it is] in the chief city of the children of Ammon; the length of it [is] nine cubits, and the breadth of it four cubits, according to the cubit of a man.
(Kwa mabaki ya Refaimu, mfalme Ogi pekee wa Bashani alikuwa amebaki. Tazama! Kitanda chake kilikuwa cha chuma. Hakuna huko Rabbah, ambako wazao wa Ammoni waliishi? Ilikuwa dhiraa tisa urefu na dhiraa nne upana, hiyo njia walitumia watu kupima.)
12 And we inherited that land at that time from Aroer, which is by the border of the torrent Arnon, and half the mount of Galaad; and I gave his cities to Ruben and to Gad.
“Hili eneo ambalo tulichukua kumiliki kwa wakati huo-kutoka Aroer, kwamba ni kwa bonde la Arnon, na nusu ya nchi ya mlima wa Gileadi, na miji yake-Nilimpa Reubenites na kwa Gadites.
13 And the rest of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og I gave to the half-tribe of Manasse, and all the country round about Argob, all that Basan; it shall be accounted the land of Raphain.
Waliobaki wa Gileadi na Bashani yote, ufalme wa Ogi, Niliwapa nusu kabila la Manasseh: kwa wote wa Argob, na Bashani yote. (Eneo hilo linaitwa nchi ya Refaim)
14 And Jair the son of Manasse took all the country round about Argob as far as the borders of Gargasi and Machathi: he called them by his name Basan Thavoth Jair until this day.
Jair, mzao wa Manasseh, alichukuwa mkoa wote wa Argob, kuelekea mpaka wa Geshunites na wa Maacathites. Aliita mkoa hata Bashani kwa jina lake, Havvothi Jair, hadi leo.)
15 And to Machir I gave Galaad.
Nilimpa Gileadi kwa Machir.
16 And to Ruben and to Gad I gave [the land] under Galaad as far as the brook of Arnon, the border between the brook and as far as Jaboc; the brook [is] the border to the children Amman.
Kwa Reubenites na kwa Gadites nilitoa eneo kutoka kwa Gileadi kuelekea bonde la Arnon- katikati mwa bonde ni mpaka wa eneo- na kuelekea mto wa Jabbok, ambao umepakana ni wazao wa Ammoni.
17 And Araba and Jordan [are] the boundary of Machanareth, even to the sea of Araba, the salt sea under Asedoth Phasga eastward.
Moja ya mipaka mingine pia ni tambarare ya bonde la mto wa Yordani, kutoka Chinnerethi kuelekea bahari ya Arabah(ambayo ni bahari ya Chumvi) kuelekea miteremko wa mlima wa Pisgah mashariki.
18 And I charged you at that time, saying, The Lord your God has given you this land by lot; arm yourselves, every one [that is] powerful, and go before your brethren the children of Israel.
Nilikuamuru wewe kwa wakati huo, kusema, Yahwe Mungu wako amekupa nchi hii kuimiliki, wewe, wamaume wote wa vita, watapita wakiwa na silaha mbele ya ndugu zako, watu wa Israeli.
19 Only your wives and your children and your cattle (I know that you have much cattle), let them dwell in your cities which I have given you;
Lakini wake zenu, watoto wenu, na ng'ombe zenu (najua ya kuwa una ng'ombe wengi) watabaki katika miji yenu niliyowapa,
20 until the Lord your God give your brethren rest, as also he has given to you, and they also shall inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives them on the other side of Jordan; then you shall return, each one to his inheritance which I have given you.
mpaka Yahwe awape pumziko ndugu zenu, kama alivyo kwenu, mpaka wamiliki pia nchi ambayo Yahwe Mungu wenu anawapa ng'ambo ya pili Yordani, kisha mtageuka, kila mtu wenu, kwa mali zenu ambazo nimekwishawapa.
21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen all things, which the Lord our God did to these two kings: so shall the Lord our God do to all the kingdoms against which you cross over there.
Nilimwamuru Yoshua kwa wakati huo, kusema, 'Macho yenu yameona yote yale Yahwe Mungu wenu amefanya kwa hawa wafalme wawili; Yahwe atafanya hivyo kwa falme zote kote mtakakoenda.
22 You shall not be afraid of them, because the Lord our God himself shall fight for you.
Hamtawaogopa, kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu wenu ndiye atakaoawapigania.'
23 And I implored the Lord at that time, saying,
Nilimsihi Yahwe kwa wakati huo, kusema,
24 Lord God, you have begun to show to your servant your strength, and your power, and your mighty hand, and your high arm: for what God is there in heaven or on the earth, who will do as you have done, and according to your might?
'O Bwana Yahwe, umeanza kumuonesha mtumwa wako ukuu wako na mkono wako wa hodari; kwa kuwa nani mungu aliyeko huko mbinguni au duniani ambaye anaweza kufanya kazi zilezile kama ilivyofanya, na matendo yaleyale makuu?
25 I will therefore go over and see this good land that is beyond Jordan, this good mountain and Antilibanus.
Hebu niende juu, Ninakuoma, na nione nchi nzuri ambayo ng'ambo ya pili ya Yordani, ile nchi nzuri ya mlima, na pia Lebanoni.
26 And the Lord because of you did not regard me, and listened not to me; and the Lord said to me, Let it suffice you, speak not of this matter to me any more.
Lakini Yahwe alikuwa amenikasirikia mimi kwa sababu yenu, hakunisikiliza mimi. Yahwe alisema kwangu, “Hebu hii iwe ya kutosha kwako - usizungumze zaidi tena kwangu kuhusu jambo hili.
27 Go up to the top of the quarried rock, and look with your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold [it] with your eyes, for you shall not go over this Jordan.
nenda juu ya kilele cha Pisgah na uinue macho yako magharibi, mashariki, kusini na mashariki; tazama kwa macho yako kwa kuwa hautaenda zaidi ya Yordani.
28 And charge Joshua, and strengthen him, and encourage him; for he shall go before the face of this people, and he shall give them the inheritance of all the land which you have seen.
Badala yake, mwelekeze Yoshua na kumtia moyo na kumuimarisha, kwa kuwa ataenda zaidi mbele ya watu, na atawasababisha kuirithi nchi ambayo mtaiona.
29 And we abode in the valley near the house of Phogor.
Kwa hiyo tulibaki katika bonde mkabala mwa Beth Peor.
