Deuteronomy 2

1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.

Pea naʻa tau tafoki, ʻo hiki hotau fononga ki he toafa ʻi he hala ʻoe Tahi Kulokula, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au: pea naʻa tau tākai ʻae moʻunga ko Seia ʻo ʻaho lahi.

2 The LORD spoke to me, saying,

“Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

3 "You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.

Kuo mou tākai ʻae moʻunga ni ʻo fuoloa: mou tafoki ki he feituʻu tokelau.

4 Command the people, saying, 'You are to pass through the border of your brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore;

Pea ke fekau ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, ‘Te mou ʻalu ʻi he potu fonua ʻo homou kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsoa, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi Seia; pea ʻe manavahē ʻakinautolu kiate kimoutolu: ko ia, mou vakai lelei kiate kimoutolu.

5 do not contend 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 to Esau for a possession.

‌ʻOua naʻa mou fai ha meʻa kiate kinautolu; koeʻuhi naʻa mo hano laulahi ʻoe ʻaofi vaʻe ʻe taha, ʻe ʻikai te u foaki kiate kimoutolu ha konga siʻi ʻo honau fonua: koeʻuhi kuo u foaki ʻae moʻunga ko Seia kia ʻIsoa ko e tofiʻa.

6 You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.'"

Te mou fakatau meʻakai meiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae paʻanga, ke mou kai; pea te mou fakatau vai ʻiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae paʻanga, ke mou inu.’

7 For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.

He ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kuo ne tāpuakiʻi koe ʻi he ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima: ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ho ʻeveʻeva ʻi he toafa lahi ni: ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ni naʻe ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; naʻe ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha.

8 So we passed by from our brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Eilat and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

Pea ʻi heʻetau ʻalu ange mei hotau kāinga ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsoa, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Seia, ʻi he hala ʻoe toafa mei ʻElati, pea mei ʻEsioni-kepa, naʻa tau tafoki ʻo ʻalu ofi ki he hala ʻoe toafa ʻo Moape,

9 The LORD said to me, "Do not bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot for a possession."

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻOua naʻa fakamamahi ki he kau Moape, pea ʻoua naʻa tauʻi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u foaki kiate koe honau fonua ko e tofiʻa; he kuo u foaki ʻa ʻAla ki he fānau ʻa Lote ko honau tofiʻa.’

10 (The Emim lived there before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:

Naʻe nofo ʻi ai ʻi muʻa ʻae kau Imime, ko e kakai lalahi, mo tokolahi mo lōloa, ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻAnaki;

11 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.

‌ʻAkinautolu naʻe ui foki ko e kau sino lalahi, hangē ko e kau ʻAnaki ka naʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau Moape ko e kau Imime.

12 The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the descendants of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.)

Naʻe nofo ʻae kakai Hoa ʻi Seia foki ʻi muʻa; ka naʻe fetongi ʻakinautolu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsoa, hili ʻenau fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei honau ʻao, pea nau nofo ʻi honau fonua; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo fai ʻe ʻIsileli ki he fonua ʻo hono tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu.

13 "Now rise up, and cross over the Wadi Zered." So we went over the Wadi Zered.

Pea ne u pehē, Mou tuʻu hake, ʻo ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Seleti. Pea naʻa tau ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Seleti:

14 The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we had come over the Wadi Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as the LORD swore to them.

Pea ko hono fuoloa ʻo ʻetau haʻu mei Ketesi-pania, ʻo aʻu ki heʻetau hoko ki he kauvai ʻo Seleti, ko e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma valu: ke ʻoua ke ʻosiʻosingamālie mei he fakataha ʻae toʻutangata kotoa pē ʻoe kau tangata tau, ʻo hangē ko e fuakava ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu.

15 Moreover the hand of God was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.

He ko e moʻoni naʻe mafao ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate kinautolu, ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he kakai, kaeʻoua kenau ʻosi.

16 So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mole ʻo pekia ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē mei he kakai,

17 that the LORD spoke to me, saying,

Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

18 "You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:

‘Te ke ʻalu atu he ʻaho ni ʻi he potu ʻo ʻAla, ʻi he mata fonua ʻo Moape:

19 and when you come near over against the people of Ammon, do not bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the people of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the people of Lot for a possession."

Pea ʻoka ke ka hoko ʻo ofi ʻo hangatonu ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻoua naʻa fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha meʻa kiate kinautolu: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u foaki kiate koe ha tofiʻa ʻi he fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni; he kuo tuku ia ki he fānau ʻa Lote ko honau tofiʻa.’

20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived in it before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,

(Naʻe ui ia foki ko e fonua ʻoe ngaahi kakai lalahi naʻe nofo ai ʻi muʻa ʻae kakai lalahi pea naʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau ʻAmoni, ko e kau Samisunuma;

21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;

Ko e kakai lalahi, mo tokolahi, mo lōloa, ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻAnaki: ka naʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi honau ʻao; pea naʻa nau tongia ʻakinautolu ʻo nofo ʻi honau fonua:

22 as he did for the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day:

Hangē ko ia naʻa ne fai ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsoa, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Seia, ʻi heʻene fakaʻauha ʻae kakai Hoa mei honau ʻao; pea naʻa nau tongia ʻakinautolu, pea nofo ʻi honau fonua ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni:

23 and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)

Pea ko e kakai ʻAvi naʻe nofo ʻi Heselimi, ʻo aʻu ki Kesa, ko e kau Kafitoli ni, ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei Kafitoli, naʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻo nofo ʻi honau fonua.)

24 "Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the Valley of the Arnon: look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

“Mou tuʻu hake, ʻo fai homou fononga, pea aʻa ʻi he vaitafe ko ʻAlanoni: vakai, kuo u tuku ki ho nima ʻa Sihoni ko e ʻAmoli, ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, mo hono fonua: mou fai ʻae kamata maʻu leva ia, pea ketau mo ia.

25 This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you."

Te u kamata fai he ʻaho ni ke ʻai ʻae manavahē kiate koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he lalo langi kotoa pē, ʻaia tenau ongoʻi ho ongoongo, pea tetetete, pea tenau feinga ʻi he mamahi koeʻuhi ko koe.

26 I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

“Pea ne u fekau ʻae kau tangata fekau mei he toafa ʻo Ketimote, kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi mo e ngaahi lea ʻoe melino, ʻo pehē,

27 "Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.

‘Tuku ke u ʻalu atu ʻi ho fonua: Te u ʻalu atu pe ʻi he hala motuʻa, ʻe ʻikai te u tafoki ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema.

28 You shall 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,

Pea te ke fakatau ʻae meʻakai kiate au ʻaki ʻae paʻanga, koeʻuhi ke u kai; pea tuku mai ha vai ʻi heʻeku paʻanga ke u inu: kae kehe ke u ʻalu ʻi ho fonua ʻi hoku vaʻe pe:

29 as the people of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us."

(Hangē ko ia naʻe fai kiate au ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsoa naʻe nofo ʻi Seia, mo e kau Moape naʻe nofo ʻi ʻAla; ) ke ʻoua ke u aʻa atu ʻi Sioatani ki he fonua ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko homau ʻOtua kiate kimautolu.’

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for the LORD your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.

“Ka naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, ketau ʻalu ofi kiate ia; he naʻe fakafefeka hono laumālie ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo ngaohi hono loto ke talangataʻa, koeʻuhi ke ne tukuange ia ki ho nima, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo hā he ʻaho ni.

31 The LORD said to me, "Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land."

“Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘Vakai, kuo u kamata tuku ʻa Sihoni mo hono fonua ʻi ho ʻao: ke ke kamata maʻu, koeʻuhi ke ke hoko ʻo maʻu hono fonua.’

32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.

Pea naʻe toki haʻu kituʻa ʻa Sihoni ʻo tuʻu kiate kitautolu, ʻaia mo hono kakai kotoa pē, ketau ʻi Sehasi.

33 The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.

Pea naʻe tuku mai ia ʻi hotau ʻao ʻe Sihova, ko hotau ʻOtua; pea naʻa tau taaʻi ia, mo hono ngaahi foha, mo ʻene kakai kotoa pē.

34 We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:

Pea naʻa tau maʻu ʻene ngaahi kolo ʻi he kuonga ko ia, pea naʻa tau fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē, mo e kau fefine, pea mo e fānau iiki ʻi he kolo kotoa pē; naʻe ʻikai te tau tuku ha niʻihi ke toe:

35 only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.

Ka ko e ngaahi fanga manu naʻa tau maʻu ko e koloa maʻatautolu, mo e vete ʻoe ngaahi kolo ʻaia naʻa tau maʻu.

36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; the LORD our God delivered up all before us:

Mei ʻAloeli ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni, pea mei he kolo ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he vaitafe, ʻo aʻu ki Kiliati, naʻe ʻikai ha kolo ʻe taha naʻe mālohi kiate kitautolu: ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua naʻa ne tuku mai kotoa pē kiate kitautolu:

37 only to the land of the people of Ammon you did not come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the LORD our God forbade us.

Ka naʻe ʻikai te ke hoko ki he fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pe ki ha potu ʻe taha ʻoe vaitafe ko Sakopi, pe ki he ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pe ki ha potu ʻe taha naʻe taʻofi ʻakitautolu mei ai ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.
