< Deuteronomy 3 >
1 Then 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 battle at Edrei.
Kenaka tinakhota ndi kumayenda mokwera mtunda ndi njira yolowera ku Basani. Ndipo Ogi mfumu ya ku Basani ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo anakumana nafe ndipo anamenyana nafe ku Ederi.
2 YHWH said to me, "Do not fear him; for I have delivered him, and all his people, and his land, into your hand; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."
Yehova anati kwa ine, “Usachite naye mantha pakuti ndamupereka mʼmanja mwako pamodzi ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo ndi dziko lake lomwe. Ndipo uchite kwa iye zimene unachita Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, amene ankalamulira ku Hesiboni.”
3 So YHWH our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we struck him until none was left to him remaining.
Choncho Yehova Mulungu wathu anapereka mʼmanja mwathu Ogi mfumu ya ku Basani ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo. Tinawakantha onsewo osasiya ndi mmodzi yemwe.
4 We took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them; sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Pa nthawi imeneyo tinatenga mizinda yake yonse. Pa mizinda 60, panalibe ndi umodzi womwe umene sitinawalande, mʼdera lonse la ufumu wa Ogi ku Basani chimene ndi chigawo cha Arigobu.
5 All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled towns a great many.
Mizinda yonseyi inali yotetezedwa ndi malinga ataliatali wokhala ndi zitseko ndi zitsulo, komabe panali midzi ina yambiri imene inalibe malinga.
6 We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones.
Tinawawonongeratu monga momwe tinachitira Sihoni, mfumu ya ku Hesiboni. Tinawononga mzinda uliwonse, amayi, amuna ndi ana omwe.
7 But all the livestock, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
Koma tinafunkha ziweto ndi katundu wawo yense.
8 We took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the Valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon.
Choncho pa nthawi imeneyi tinalanda kwa mafumu awiri Aamori, dera la kummawa kwa Yorodani, kuyambira ku khwawa la Arinoni mpaka ku Phiri la Herimoni.
9 (The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir.)
(Asidoni amatcha Herimoni kuti Siriyoni, pamene Aamori amalitcha Seniri).
10 We took all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Tinalanda mizinda yonse ya ku mapiri, ku Giliyadi, Basani mpaka ku Saleka ndi Ederi, mizinda ya mu ufumu wa Ogi wa ku Basani.
11 (For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim; look, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; isn't it in Rabbah of the people of Ammon? Thirteen feet three inches was its length, and five feet eleven inches its breadth, according to the standard measure.)
(Ogi, mfumu ya ku Basani, anali yekhayo amene anatsala mwa mtundu wa anthu ataliatali a Chirefai. Bedi lake linali lachitsulo ndipo lalitali kuposa mamita anayi. Mulifupi mwake munali mamita awiri. Bedilo likanalipo ku Raba kwa Aamori).
12 This land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the Valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead, and its cities, gave I to the Reubenites and to the Gadites:
Dziko limene tinalanda nthawi imeneyo, ndinapatsa fuko la Rubeni ndi fuko la Gadi dera la kumpoto kwa Aroeri cha mʼmphepete mwa khwawa la Arinoni kuphatikizapo theka la dziko lamapiri la Giliyadi ndi mizinda yake.
13 and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I to the half-tribe of Manasseh. All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of Rephaim.
Theka la fuko la Manase ndinalipatsa dziko lonse lotsala la Giliyadi ndi Basani yense yemwe ndi dera la ufumu wa Ogi. (Chigawo chonse cha Arigobu mu Basani chinkadziwika kuti ndi dziko la Arefai.
14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.)
Yairi, mdzukulu wa Manase, anatenga chigawo chonse cha Arigobu mpaka ku malire a Agesuri ndi Amaakati. Anatcha chigawochi dzina lake, moti mpaka lero Basani amatchedwa Havoti Yairi).
15 I gave Gilead to Makir.
Ndipo ndinapereka Giliyadi kwa Makiri.
16 To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead to the Valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and its border, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the people of Ammon;
Koma kwa fuko la Rubeni ndi fuko la Gadi ndinapereka chigawo chochokera ku Giliyadi kutsetsereka mpaka ku khwawa la Arinoni (pakati pa khwawalo ndiye panali malire) ndi kupitirira mpaka ku mtsinje wa Yaboki umene ndi malire Aamoni.
17 the Arabah also, and the Jordan and its border, from Kinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.
Malire ake a chakumadzulo anali Yorodani ku Araba, kuchokera ku Kinereti mpaka ku Nyanja ya Araba (Nyanja ya Mchere), mʼmunsi mwa matsitso a Pisiga.
18 I commanded you at that time, saying, "YHWH your God has given you this land to possess it: you shall pass over armed before your brothers the children of Israel, all the men of valor.
Ndinakulamulirani nthawi imene ija kuti, “Yehova Mulungu wanu wakupatsani dziko ili kuti likhale lanu. Koma amuna amphamvu onse ali ndi zida zankhondo, awoloke kutsogolera abale anu Aisraeli.
19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your livestock, (I know that you have much livestock), shall live in your cities which I have given you,
Koma akazi anu, ana anu ndi ziweto zanu (ndikudziwa kuti muli ndi ziweto zambiri) zikhoza kumakhalabe mʼmizinda imene ndakupatsani,
20 until YHWH gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also possess the land which YHWH your God gives them beyond the Jordan: then you shall return every man to his possession, which I have given you."
mpaka Yehova atapereka mpumulo kwa abale anu, nawonso atatenga dziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akuwapatsa patsidya pa Yorodani, monga wachitira ndi inu. Kenaka, aliyense wa inu akhoza kudzabwerera ku dziko limene ndinakupatsani.”
21 I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, "Your eyes have seen all that YHWH your God has done to these two kings: so shall YHWH do to all the kingdoms where you go over.
Nthawi imeneyo ndinamulamula Yoswa kuti, “Waona wekha ndi maso ako zonse zimene Yehova Mulungu wako anachitira mafumu awiriwa. Yehova adzachita zomwezo ndi mafumu ena onse kumene mukupitako.
22 Do not fear them, for YHWH your God himself will fight for you."
Musawaope chifukwa Yehova Mulungu mwini adzakumenyerani nkhondo.”
23 I begged YHWH at that time, saying,
Nthawi imeneyo ndinachonderera Yehova kuti,
24 "Lord YHWH, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand: for what god is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to your works, and according to your mighty acts?
“Ambuye Mulungu, mwayamba tsopano kuonetsa mtumiki wanu ukulu wanu ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu. Ndi mulungu uti ali kumwamba kapena pa dziko lapansi amene angachite ntchito zozizwitsa zimene mumachita?
25 Please let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that good hill country, and Lebanon."
Mundilole ndipite ndi kukaona dziko labwinolo kutsidya kwa Yorodani dziko la mapiri abwinowo ndi Lebanoni.”
26 But YHWH was angry with me for your sakes, and did not listen to me; and YHWH said to me, "Enough from you; speak no more to me of this matter.
Koma chifukwa cha inu, Yehova anakwiya nane osandimvera. Yehova anati, “Basi pakwana, usayankhulenso ndi ine zimenezi.
27 Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes: for you shall not go over this Jordan.
Pita pamwamba pa phiri la Pisiga ndipo uyangʼane kumadzulo, kumpoto, kummwera ndi kummawa. Ulione dzikolo ndi maso ako pakuti suwoloka Yorodaniyu.
28 But commission Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see."
Koma langiza Yoswa ndipo umulimbikitse ndi kumupatsa mphamvu pakuti adzatsogolera anthu awa kuwoloka ndipo adzawathandiza kuti atenge dziko limene ulioneli.”
29 So we stayed in the valley over against Beth Peor.
Ndipo tinakhala mʼchigwa pafupi ndi Beti-Peori.
