< Deuteronomy 2 >

1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as YHWH spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
Anyị laghachiri azụ chee ihu nʼọzara nʼụzọ gawara Osimiri Uhie, dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara m. Ọtụtụ afọ ka anyị nọ na-awagharị gburugburu ugwu Sia.
2 YHWH spoke to me, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị m,
3 "You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
“Unu agbaala ala ugwu ugwu a gburugburu ogologo oge, cheenụ ihu nʼakụkụ ugwu.
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;
Nye ụmụ Izrel iwu ndị a: ‘Unu ga-aga site nʼala ụmụnna unu ndị Edọm gafee. Ndị Edọm bụ ụmụ ụmụ Ịsọ, onye biri na Sia. Ha ga-atụ egwu mgbe ha nụrụ na unu ga-esi nʼala ha gafee, ma kpachapụnụ anya.
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.
Unu akpasukwala ha ka ha lụsoo unu ọgụ, nʼihi na agaghị m enye unu ala ọbụla sitere nʼala ha, ọ bụladị ebe ga-ezuru unu ịzọkwasị ụkwụ unu. Enyela m Ịsọ ala niile nke ugwu Sia dịka nke aka ya.
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.'"
Jirinụ ọlaọcha kwụọ ha ụgwọ nri ọbụla unu riri, jirikwanụ ọlaọcha kwụọ ha ụgwọ nʼihi mmiri ọbụla unu ṅụrụ.’”
7 For YHWH your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years YHWH your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu agọziela unu nʼihe ọbụla bụ akaọrụ unu. O cheela nzọ ụkwụ unu nche iri afọ anọ ndị a niile unu wagharịrị nʼọzara ukwuu a. Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu anọnyerela unu, ọ dịkwaghị ihe kọrọ unu.
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.
Ya mere, anyị sitere nʼala ụmụnna anyị bụ ụmụ Ịsọ, ndị bi na Sia gafee. Anyị hapụkwara ụzọ Araba nke si Elat na Eziọn Geba, tụgharịa gawa elu elu ụzọ ọzara Moab.
9 YHWH 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."
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị dọrọ anyị aka na ntị sị, “Unu esogbula maọbụ lụso ndị Moab ọgụ nʼihi na unu enweghị oke nʼala ha, nʼihi na enyela m ụmụ ụmụ Lọt ala Ar ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa nke ha.”
10 (The Emim lived there before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:
(Ndị biri nʼebe ahụ na mgbe gara aga bụ ndị Emim, agbụrụ ha gbara dimkpa dịkwa ọtụtụ nʼọnụọgụgụ. Ha toro ogologo dịka ndị Anak.
11 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
A na-eche na ha bụ ndị Refaim, dịka ndị Anak, ma ndị Moab na-akpọ ha ndị Emim.
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 YHWH gave to them.)
Ma mgbe gara aga ọ bụ ndị Hor bi na Sia, ma ndị Edọm, ụmụ Ịsọ, chụpụrụ ha. Ha bibiri ndị Hor bichikwaa ala ha, dịka ụmụ Izrel si bichie nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ha dịka ihe nketa.)
13 "Now rise up, and cross over the Wadi Zered." So we went over the Wadi Zered.
Onyenwe anyị gwara anyị okwu sị, “Ugbu a bilienụ, gafee Ndagwurugwu Zered.” Anyị bilikwara gafee.
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 YHWH swore to them.
Iri afọ atọ na asatọ gasịrị, site na mgbe anyị hapụrụ Kadesh Banea ruo mgbe anyị gafere Ndagwurugwu Zered! Nʼoge a, ọgbọ ndị ikom ahụ niile na-alụ agha anwụchaala site nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu, dịka Onyenwe anyị ṅụrụ ha nʼiyi.
15 Moreover the hand of God was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
E, aka Onyenwe anyị dị megide ha, ruo mgbe o mere ka ha niile nwụchaa site nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ahụ.
16 So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
Mgbe onye nke ikpeazụ nʼime ndị niile a tozuru ije agha nwụchara,
17 that YHWH spoke to me, saying,
Onyenwe anyị sịrị m,
18 "You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
“Taa, ụmụ Izrel ga-esi na Ar gafee oke ala ndị Moab.
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."
Mgbe unu bara nʼala ndị Amọn, unu esogbula ha, unu alụsola ha ọgụ, nʼihi na agaghị m enye unu ala ndị Amọn. Enyela m ụmụ ụmụ Lọt ala ahụ dịka ihe onwunwe ha.”
20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived in it before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
Ndị bi nʼebe a na mbụ bụ ndị Refaim, ma ụmụ Amọn na-akpọ ha ndị Zamzum.
21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but YHWH destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;
Ha bụ agbụrụ dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, siekwa ike nke ukwuu, ha toro ogologo dịka ụmụ Anak. Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼaka ndị Amọn laa ha nʼiyi, bụ ndị chụpụrụ ha ma bichie nʼobodo ha.
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:
Onyenwe anyị mekwara otu ihe ahụ nye ndị agbụrụ Ịsọ bụ ndị bi nʼugwu Sia mgbe ọ lara ndị Hor bụ ụzọ biri nʼebe ahụ nʼiyi. Ha chụpụrụ ha, bichie ala ha ruo taa.
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.)
Ebe ọzọkwa Onyenwe anyị mere ihe dị otu a bụ mgbe o mere ka ndị Kafto laa ndị Avim nʼiyi. Ha bichiri obodo nta niile ndị Avim nwere nke dị gburugburu ebe ahụ rukwaa Gaza.
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.
Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Gafeenụ ndagwurugwu dị warawara nke Anọn, baakwanụ nʼalaeze Saịhọn, onye Amọrị, eze obodo Heshbọn. Lụsonụ ya agha, bichiekwanụ nʼala ya nʼihi na enyefeela m ya bụ eze na ala ya nʼaka unu.
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."
Site taa gaa nʼihu, aga m etinye egwu na ụjọ nʼobi ndị niile bi nʼokpuru mbara eluigwe. Ha ga-anụ akụkọ unu tụọ oke egwu, maakwa jijiji nʼihi unu.”
26 I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Esitere m nʼọzara Kedemot zipụ ndị ozi, ka ha jekwuru Saịhọn, eze Heshbọn, zie ya ozi na anyị chọrọ udo, sị,
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.
“Kwere ka anyị site nʼobodo gị gafee. Ọ bụ naanị nʼokporoụzọ ka anyị ga-anọ. Anyị agaghị atụgharị gaa nʼaka nri maọbụ nʼaka ekpe.
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,
Renye anyị ihe oriri anyị ga-eri na mmiri anyị ga-aṅụ nʼọnụ ahịa ọlaọcha. Naanị kweere ka anyị gabiga nʼụkwụ ala,
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 YHWH our God gives us."
dịka ụmụ Ịsọ, bụ ndị bi na Sia, nakwa ndị Moab bi nʼobodo Ar meere anyị, ruo mgbe anyị gafere Jọdan banye nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị na-enye anyị.”
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for YHWH your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.
Ma Saịhọn, eze Heshbọn, ekweghị ka anyị si nʼala ya gafee. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu mere ka mmụọ ya sie ike, meekwa ka o mesie obi ya ike, ka o si otu a nyefee ya nʼaka unu dịka ọ mere ugbu a.
31 YHWH 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."
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara m sị, “Lee, amalitela m iwere Saịhọn na obodo a nyefee unu nʼaka. Ngwanụ, malitenụ ibuso ya agha! Merienụ ya, nwetakwanụ ala ya.”
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
Mgbe Saịhọn na ndị agha ya niile pụtara izute anyị nʼagha nʼebe a na-akpọ Jehaz,
33 YHWH our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị nyefere ya nʼaka anyị. Anyị gburu ya, gbukwaa ụmụ ya ndị ikom niile, na ndị agha ya niile.
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:
Nʼoge ahụ, anyị meriri obodo ya niile, bibiekwa ha niile kpamkpam, ma ndị ikom, ma ndị inyom, ma ụmụntakịrị. Anyị ahapụghị mmadụ onye ndụ.
35 only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
Ma ihe ndị anyị bukọọrọ bụ naanị anụ ụlọ, na ngwongwo ndị ọzọ dị iche iche anyị si nʼobodo ndị anyị meriri kwata.
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; YHWH our God delivered up all before us:
Anyị lụgburu ndị niile bi nʼobodo dị site nʼAroea ruo nʼọnụ ndagwurugwu dị warawara nke Anọn, na site nʼetiti ndagwurugwu ahụ ruo Gilead. O nweghị obodo ọbụla rara anyị ahụ imeri, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke nyefere ha niile nʼaka anyị.
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 YHWH our God forbade us.
Ma dịka usoro iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị si dị, anyị abanyeghị ala ndị Amọn ọbụla maọbụ ruokwa nʼala dị nʼakụkụ iyi Jabọk nso, maọbụ nʼobodo ndị ahụ niile dị nʼugwu.
