< Deuteronomy 2 >

1 Then turned we, and set forward towards the desert by way of the Red Sea, as Yahweh, spake unto me; and we encompassed Mount Seir many days.
Chuin gamthip lang jondin ikiheiyun Twipisan lam jon in icheuvin, Pakaiyin asei bang in, Seir molsang lama chun phat sottah lungdong in ivah leleuvin ahi.
2 And Yahweh spake unto me, saying:
Hichun Pakaiyin hiti hin eiseipeh in,
3 Long enough, have ye encompassed this mountain, —turn yourselves north, wards.
Nangho gamthip lah a lungdong in naum sot lheh tauve; sahlam gamkai mano tauvin.
4 And, the people, command thou saying, Ye are about to pass through the boundary of your brethren the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, —and should they be afraid of you, take ye good heed to yourselves:
Thupeh hichengse hi mipi henga seiyin: “Nanghon na sopiu Esau chilhah Edom mite chenna Seir mun na jotpa diu ahi. Edom mite chu kichat nan alhun den theiju ahi, ching theiyun.”
5 do not engage in strife with them, for I will not give you of their land, so much as place for the tread of a foot-sole, —for as a possession to Esau, have I given Mount Seir.
Aheng uva ima na ngeh lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu keiman Seir gam jouse amaho kapeh ahitan, nangho gambeh neocha jong na kipe theilou diu ahi.
6 Food, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye eat, —yea even water, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye drink.
An leh twi nangai chat uva ahileh, aman napeh uva na kichoh cheh diu ahi.
7 For Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand, he hath considered thy traversing of this great desert, —these forty years, hath Yahweh thy God been with thee, thou hast lacked, nothing.
Ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in nabol natoh jouseu phatthei abohtan. Aman gamthip noiya kal nason chan geiyuva pat ave lhih jing in. Kum somli sung in Pakai, Pathen in lhasam louvin na umpiuve.
8 So we passed on, a way from our brethren the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, from the way of the waste plain, from Elath, and from Ezion-geber, —and we turned and passed on by way of the desert of Moab.
Chuin Esau chilhah ho chenna Seir mun igalkai uvin. Arabah phaicham kiti Elath le Ezion-geber akon hungna lampi vang ipeldoh uvin ahi. Hiti chun sahlam nelgam lam juiyin Moab lam ino tauvin ahi.
9 And Yahweh said unto me—Do not lay siege to Moab, nor engage in strife with them in battle, —for I will not give unto thee of this land as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given Ar, as a possession.
Chuin Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Lot chilhah Moab mite na suhgim lou diu, gal jong na bolkhum lou hel diu ahi. Ar gam Leiset pumpi amaho kapeh ahitan, nangho gam beh neokhat jong na chan thei lou diu ahi.”
10 the Emim, formerly dwelt therein, —a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim.
(Mihat Emim mite chu Ar muna ana cheng uvin ahi. Amaho chu asang thei un chule atha u-jong ahat in Anakim mite tobang chu ahiuve.
11 Giants, used, they also, to be accounted like the Anakim, —but the Moabites, called them Emim.
Emimte le Anakim ho chu Rephaim tinjong akiheuvin, Moab miten vang Emim tin akou un ahi.
12 And in Seir, dwelt the Horim aforetime, but, the sons of Esau, dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, —as did Israel unto the land of his own possession, which Yahweh had given unto them.
Masang chun Hor mite chu Seir muna ana cheng uvin, hinlah amaho chu Esau chilhahte hotoh gal ana kibol uvin, Hor mite chu ana jamdoh tauvin. Israel miten Canaan mite adel gam uva agam pumpi Pakai in apeh tobang’u ahi.)
13 Now, arise, and pass ye over the ravine of Zered. So we passed over the ravine of Zered.
Mose’n avelin aseiyin, ‘Chuin Pakaiyin iheng uva hiti hin aseiye, Zered galkai ding in che uvin, ati bang in igalkai tauvin ahi.
14 Now, the days in which we journeyed from Kadesh-barnea, as far as where we crossed the ravine of Zered, were thirty-eight years, —until all the generation of the men of war were consumed out of the midst of the camp, as Yahweh had sworn unto them.
Kadesh Burnea ihin dalhah kal-u kum somthum le get ahitan, Pasal galsat thei jouse gamthip la h a athisoh tauve. Hichu Pakaiyin atep banga thilsoh ahi.
15 Yea, even the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, —until they were consumed.
Pakaiyin asuh manghel kahseuvin, amaho chu adou in ahi.
16 So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed by dying, out of the midst of the people,
Galbol thei pasal jouse athi gam phat chun,
17 then spake Yahweh unto me, saying:
Pakaiyin ka henga hiti hin aseiyin,
18 Thou, art passing, to-day, the boundary of Moab even Ar;
Tunia hi Ar muna pat Moab gamgi na galkai diu
19 so wilt thou draw near over against the sons of Ammon, do not thou besiege them neither engage in strife with them, —for I will not give of the land of the sons of Ammon unto thee as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given it as a possession.
Lot chilhah Ammon mite chenna nalut diu, hinlah amaho na suhgim lou diu gal jong nabol khum lou diu ahi. Hiche gam hi Ammon mite kapeh ahitan, agam hi nnag ho kapeh thei louding ahitai.
20 A land of giants, used, that also, to be accounted, —giants, dwelt therein aforetime, but the Ammonites, called them Zamzummim:
(Hiche gam chu Rephaim mite gam'a ana kihe ahin, Ammon miten vang Zamzummim mite atiuve.
21 a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim, —but Yahweh destroyed them from before them, and they took their possessions, and dwelt in their stead:
Amaho jong chu asang thei un chule athau ahat thei uvin Anakim mite tobang ahiuve. Hinlah Pakaiyin amaho chu asugamhel tauvin ahileh, chuin Ammon miten agam alo tauve.
22 as he did for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, —when he destroyed the Horim from before them, and they took their possessions and have dwelt in their stead, even unto this day.
Pakaiyin Seir muna Esau chilhahte dinga na-atoh bang bang in abol in chule Hor mite asugam in ahileh hiche muna chun amaho acheng tauvin ahi. Hijeh chun Esau chilhahte tuni changeiyin acheng tauvin ahi.
23 The Avvim also, who dwelt in settlements as far as Gaza, Caphtorim, who were coming forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.
Hiche tobang hin Crete apat Caphtorit mite chunga thilsoh ana lhung in, Avvit mite chu anasu-gam hel uvin, Gaza khopi chan alo tauve.)
24 Arise ye, set forward and cross over the ravine of Arnon, see! I have given into thy hand—Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite and his land, begin—take possession, —and engage in strife with him in battle.
Mose’n avelin aseiyin, ‘Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, tun Arnon Gorge mun galkai ding in che tauvin! Vetan, Sihon, Amorite Hesbon lengpa khu nakhut uva kapeh doh ding chule agam pumpi nangma na chan ding ahi. Nokhum unlang agam khu lo tauvin.
25 This day, will I begin to extend the dread of thee and the fear of thee over the face of the peoples under all the heavens, —who will hear the report of thee, then will they quake and writhe in pain because of thee.
Tu nikhoa kipat gam Leiset a cheng mihemte chunga tijatna kalhun sah ding ahi. Nachung chang thu-u ahin jah doh tenguleh kichat nan alhun den diu ahi.
26 So I sent messengers out of the desert of Kademoth, unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, —with words of peace saying:
Mose’n aseikit in, ‘Kadeshmoth gamthip apat Heshbon lengpa Sihon henga chamna thuseiyin palai khat kasol in:
27 I would pass along through thy land, by the road, by the road, will I go, —I will not turn aside, to the right hand or to the left:
Nagam sung ka jotpa diu ahi. Lampi jeng ka jotpa diu amavang, akimvel lah kahopa lou diu ahi.
28 Food for silver, shalt thou sell me so will I eat, and water for silver, shalt thou let me have, so will I drink, —only I would pass through on my feet; —
Anneh ding le twidon ding neipe uvin, hichu aman kapeh diu ahi. Thil ijakai chung chona kangai chat pipen uchu ahileh nagam ka jotpa uva kagal kai diu hi ahi.
29 as the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, did to me, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, —until that I pass over the Jordan, into the land which, Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.
Seir muna Esau chilhahten agam kajotpa uva ka galkai nadiu eiphal peh uvin, hiche tobang chun Ar muna cheng Moab mite jeng in jong abol uvin ahi. Hijeh chun Pakai, Pathen in eipeh nau gam Jordan vadung ka gal kaithei na diuvin nagam sung nei jotsah tauvin katiuve.
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon, was not willing, to let us pass along through it, —for Yahweh thy God had suffered him to make his spirit harsh and his heart bold, that he might give him into thy hand—(as [appeareth] this day).
Hinlah Heshbon muna Sihon lengpan agamsung hopa ding chu anom tapoi, ajeh chu Pakai, Pathen in Sihon lengpa lungthim chu asutah in chuin Pakaiyin eiki thopi uvin ahileh galjona chu eipe tauve.
31 Then said Yahweh unto me, See! I have begun to deliver up before thee Sihon and his land, —begin take possession, that thou mayest make a possession of his land.
Chuin Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiyin, Vetan, Keiman tua kipat Sihon lengpa leh agam leiset na khut uva kapeh doh pan ahitai. Tun kipan uvin agam pumpi lo ding in kon tauvin, ati.
32 So then Sihon came out to meet us he, and all his people, to give battle at Jahaz.
Chuin Sihon lenpan eiho chunga gal bol ding in kho lhang asam tan, Jahaz apat agalsat miho henga hetsahna aneiyin ahi.
33 And Yahweh our God delivered him up before us, —and we smote him and his sons, and all his people
Ahinlah Pakai, Pathen in eiho khut a apedoh tan ahileh, achapate chule amite jouse jaonan i-satgam hel tauvin gal jona i-chang tauvin ahi.
34 And we captured all his cities, at that time, and devoted to destruction every city of males, with the women and the little ones, —we left not remaining a survivor:
Akhopi jouse leh amite jouse abonchan ithat gam hel tauvin, hichu pasal jouse leh numei chapang jaona ahi. Mihem khat a khat cha jeng jong asohcha tapon ahi.
35 only the cattle, made we our prey, —and the spoil of the cities which we captured.
Khopi sunga gancha jouse abonchan ichom tauvin chule thil ijakai manlu jouse jong i-chang tauvin ahi.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city that is in the ravine even as far as Gilead, there was not a fortress that proved too high for us, —the whole, did Yahweh our God deliver up before us.
Pakai, Pathen in ei-panpi uvin ahileh Aroer kiti Arnon Gorge, Gorge khopi chule agam pumpi Gilead chan geiyin abonchan ijousoh hel tauvin ahi.
37 Only unto the land of the sons of Ammon, didst thou not come near, —all the side of the Jabbok ravine, nor the cities of the hill country, nor any which Yahweh our God had forbidden to us.
Ijeh inem itileh, Ammon mite gam dalhan Jabbok vadung chule gamsunga khopi ho, Pakai thupeh bang banga i-dalhah jal’u ahi.
