Deuteronomy 3
1 And we turned, and went up the way to Bashan; and 'Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to the battle at Edre'i.
Kisha tukageuka tukakwea kufuata njia iliyoelekea Bashani, Ogu mfalme wa Bashani akaondoka na jeshi lake lote kupigana na sisi huko Edrei.
2 And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou hast done unto Sichon, the king of the Emorites, who dwelt at Cheshbon.
Bwana akaniambia, “Usimwogope kwa kuwa nimekwisha mkabidhi mikononi mwako pamoja na jeshi lake lote na nchi yake. Umfanyie sawasawa na ulivyomfanyia Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori, ambaye alitawala huko Heshboni.”
3 And the Lord our God gave into our hands also 'Og the king of Bashan, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him who escaped.
Hivyo Bwana Mungu wetu pia akamweka Ogu mfalme wa Bashani pamoja na jeshi lake lote mikononi mwetu. Tuliwaangamiza wote, hakubakia hata mmoja.
4 And we conquered all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of 'Og in Bashan.
Wakati huo tuliteka miji yake yote. Hakuna mji hata mmoja kati ya ile sitini ambao hatukuuteka, yaani eneo lote la Argobu, utawala wa Mfalme Ogu katika Bashani.
5 all these were fortified cities, with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled towns, which were a great many.
Miji yote hii ilijengewa ngome zenye kuta ndefu zenye malango na makomeo, pia kulikuwako na vijiji vingi ambavyo havikujengewa kuta.
6 And we devoted them, as we had done unto Sichon the king of Cheshbon, devoting every inhabited city, the women, and the little ones.
Tuliwaangamiza kabisa, kama tulivyomfanyia Sihoni mfalme wa Heshboni, tukiangamiza kila mji, yaani wanaume, wanawake na watoto.
7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took as booty to ourselves.
Lakini wanyama wote wa kufuga pamoja na nyara kutoka kwenye miji yao tulichukua vikawa vyetu.
8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Emorites the land which is on this side of the Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Chermon;
Hivyo kwa wakati huo tukachukua kutoka kwa wafalme hawa wawili wa Waamori nchi ya mashariki ya Yordani, kutoka Bonde la Arnoni mpaka kufika kwenye Mlima Hermoni.
9 (The Sidonians call Chermon Siryon; and the Emorites call it Senir; )
(Wasidoni huuita mlima huo Sirioni, nao Waamori huuita Seniri.)
10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gil'ad, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of 'Og in Bashan.
Tuliteka miji yote kwenye uwanda wa juu, Gileadi yote, Bashani yote mpaka kufika Saleka na Edrei, miji ya utawala wa Ogu huko Bashani.
11 For only 'Og the king of Bashan had been left of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; lo! it is in Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon: nine cubits is its length, and four cubits its breadth, after the arm of a man.
(Mfalme Ogu wa Bashani ndiye peke yake aliyesalia miongoni mwa mabaki ya Warefai. Kitanda chake kilikuwa cha chuma chenye urefu wa dhiraa tisa na upana wa dhiraa nne. Mpaka sasa kinaweza kuonekana katika mji wa Waamoni wa Raba.)
12 And of this land, of which we took possession at that time, from 'Aro'er, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gil'ad, and the cities thereof, I gave unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
Katika nchi tuliyoiteka wakati ule, niliwapa kabila la Reubeni na Gadi eneo lililoko kaskazini la Aroeri kando ya Bonde la Arnoni, na nusu ya eneo la milima ya Gileadi, pamoja na miji yake.
13 And the rest of Gil'ad, and all Bashan, the kingdom of 'Og, I gave unto the half tribe of Menasseh: all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, this is called the land of Rephaim.
Kisha nusu ya kabila la Manase niliwapa sehemu ya Gileadi iliyobaki pamoja na Bashani yote, ambayo ilikuwa utawala wa Ogu. (Eneo lote la Argobu katika Bashani lilikuwa linajulikana kama nchi ya Warefai.
14 Yair the son of Menasseh took all the region of Argob up to the border of the Geshurites and the Ma-'achathites; and he called them the [land of] Bashan, after his own name, the villages of Yair, unto this day.
Yairi, mzao wa kabila la Manase, alichukua eneo lote la nchi ya Argobu hadi kufikia mpaka wa Wageshuri na Wamaaka, ukaitwa kwa jina lake; kwa hiyo mpaka leo hii Bashani inaitwa Hawoth-Yairi.)
15 And unto Machir I gave Gil'ad.
Nikampa Makiri nchi ya Gileadi.
16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gil'ad even unto the brook Arnon, the land within the river and that adjoining, even unto the brook Yabbok, the border of the children of 'Ammon;
Lakini niliwapa Wareubeni na Wagadi eneo kuanzia Gileadi hadi Bonde la Arnoni (katikati ya bonde ulikuwa ndio mpaka), kuelekea mpaka Mto Yaboki, ambao ndio mpaka wa Waamoni.
17 The plain also, and the Jordan, and the adjoining land, from Kinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea, under the declivities of Pisgah, eastward.
Kwa upande wa magharibi mpaka wao ulikuwa Yordani katika Araba, toka ziwa Galilaya hadi Bahari ya Araba (yaani Bahari ya Chumvi), kwenye miteremko ya Pisga upande wa mashariki.
18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it: armed shall ye pass over before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are fit to bear arms.
Wakati huo nilikuamuru: “Bwana Mungu wako amekupa nchi hii uimiliki. Lakini ni lazima wanaume wenu wote wenye uwezo, wakiwa wamejiandaa tayari kwa vita, wavuke ngʼambo wakiwatangulia ndugu zako Waisraeli.
19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (I know that ye have much cattle, ) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;
Lakini wake zenu, watoto wenu na mifugo yenu (kwani najua mnayo mifugo mingi) wanaweza kukaa katika miji niliyowapa,
20 Until that the Lord have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God giveth them beyond the Jordan: then shall ye return every man unto his possession which I have given you.
mpaka hapo Bwana atakapowapa ndugu zenu kupumzika kama alivyowapa ninyi, wao pia wamiliki ile nchi ambayo Bwana Mungu wenu anawapa, ngʼambo ya Yordani. Baada ya hapo, kila mmoja wenu anaweza kurudi kwenye milki niliyowapa.”
21 And Joshua also I commanded at that time, saying, Thy own eyes have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto these two kings: thus will the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
Wakati huo nilimwamuru Yoshua, “Umejionea kwa macho yako mwenyewe yale yote ambayo Bwana Mungu wenu amewafanyia wafalme hawa wawili. Bwana atazifanyia falme zote huko mnakokwenda vivyo hivyo.
22 Ye shall not fear them; for the Lord your God it is who fighteth for you.
Msiwaogope, Bwana Mungu wenu atapigana kwa ajili yenu.”
23 And I besought the Lord at that time, saying,
Wakati huo nilimsihi Bwana:
24 O Lord Eternal, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand; for what God is there in heaven or on earth, that can do aught like thy works, and like thy mighty deeds?
“Ee Bwana Mwenyezi, umemwonyesha mtumishi wako ukuu wako na mkono wako wenye uweza. Kwa kuwa ni mungu yupi aliye mbinguni au duniani anayeweza kufanya kazi na matendo makuu kama ufanyayo wewe?
25 Let me go over, I pray thee, that I may see the good land which is on the other side of the Jordan, this goodly mountain, and the Lebanon.
Acha niende nikaione hiyo nchi nzuri ngʼambo ya Yordani, ile nchi nzuri ya vilima na Lebanoni.”
26 But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and he would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; do not continue to speak unto me any more of this matter.
Lakini kwa sababu yenu Bwana alinikasirikia na hakutaka kunisikiliza. Bwana aliniambia, “Hilo latosha; usiseme nami jambo hili tena.
27 Get thee up unto the top of Pisgah, and lift up thy eyes, westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thy eyes; for thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.
Kwea juu ya kilele cha Pisga uangalie magharibi, kaskazini, kusini na mashariki. Iangalie hiyo nchi kwa macho yako, kwa vile wewe hutavuka Yordani.
28 And do thou charge Joshua, and strengthen him, and encourage him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall divide out to them the land which thou shalt see.
Lakini mwagize Yoshua, mtie moyo na umtie nguvu, kwa kuwa yeye atawaongoza watu hawa hadi ngʼambo na kuwarithisha nchi utakayoiona.”
29 And we abode in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
Kwa hiyo tulikaa kwenye bonde karibu na Beth-Peori.
