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.
Na sima, tobalukaki mpe tokendeki na esobe, na nzela ya ebale monene ya Barozo ndenge Yawe atindaki ngai, pamba te tobalukaki mikolo ebele zingazinga ya etuka ya ngomba Seiri.
2 And Yahweh spake unto me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
3 Long enough, have ye encompassed this mountain, —turn yourselves north, wards.
« Bowumeli mingi na kobaluka zingazinga ya etuka ya bangomba oyo; sik’oyo bokende na ngambo ya nor.
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:
Pesa mitindo oyo epai ya bato: ‹ Bokomi pembeni ya koleka mokili ya bandeko na bino, bakitani ya Ezawu oyo bavandaka na Seiri. Bakobanga bino, kasi bozala mayele.
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.
Bobundisa bango te, pamba te nakopesa bino ata eloko moko te kati na mokili na bango, ezala ata esika ya kotia lokolo na bino. Nasila kopesa, epai na Ezawu, etuka ya ngomba Seiri lokola libula na ye.
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.
Bokofuta bango palata mpo na biloko oyo bokolia mpe mpo na mayi oyo bokomela.
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.
Yawe, Nzambe na bino, apamboli bino na misala nyonso ya maboko na bino. Abateli bino na esobe oyo ya monene mibu tuku minei. Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali elongo na bino mpe bozangi eloko moko te. › »
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.
Na sima, totikaki bandeko na biso, bakitani ya Ezawu oyo bavandaka na Seiri. Tobalukaki wuta na nzela ya Araba oyo ewuta na Eyilati mpe na Etsioni-Geberi, mpe tokendeki na nzela ya esobe ya Moabi.
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.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Bomona bato ya Moabi lokola banguna na bino te mpe bobundisa bango te, pamba te nakopesa bino ata eloko moko te kati na mokili na bango. Nasila kopesa mokili ya Ari lokola bozwi epai ya bakitani ya Loti. »
10 the Emim, formerly dwelt therein, —a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim.
Bato ya Emimi nde bazalaki kovanda kuna na kala. Bazalaki makasi mpe ebele, bingambe lokola bana ya Anaki.
11 Giants, used, they also, to be accounted like the Anakim, —but the Moabites, called them Emim.
Bango mpe bazalaki komonana lokola bato ya Refayimi ndenge moko na bana ya Anaki. Kasi bato ya Moabi bazalaki kobenga bango bato ya Emimi.
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.
Bato ya Ori mpe bazalaki kovanda na Seiri kasi bakitani ya Ezawu babenganaki bango. Babomaki bato ya Ori liboso na bango mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango ndenge kaka Isalaele asalaki mpo na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bango lokola bozwi.
13 Now, arise, and pass ye over the ravine of Zered. So we passed over the ravine of Zered.
Yawe alobaki: « Sik’oyo, botelema mpe bokatisa lubwaku ya Zeredi. » Boye totikaki lubwaku.
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.
Mibu tuku misato na mwambe elekaki wuta tango tolongwaki na Kadeshi-Barinea kino tokatisaki lubwaku ya Zeredi. Banda wana, molongo nyonso ya bato oyo babundaki bitumba bakufaki kati na molako ndenge Yawe alapaki ndayi mpo na bango.
15 Yea, even the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, —until they were consumed.
Loboko ya Yawe ebalukelaki bango kino asilisaki koboma bango nyonso kati na molako.
16 So it came to pass when all the men of war were consumed by dying, out of the midst of the people,
Tango bato ya suka kati na bato oyo bazalaki kobunda bitumba basilaki kokufa,
17 then spake Yahweh unto me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
18 Thou, art passing, to-day, the boundary of Moab even Ar;
« Lelo oyo, okokatisa Moabi mpe Ari.
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.
Tango okokoma na mokili ya bato ya Amoni, komona bango lokola banguna te mpe kobundisa bango te, pamba te nakopesa yo ata eteni moko te ya mabele kati na mokili ya bakitani ya bato ya Amoni. Nasilaki kopesa yango lokola bozwi epai ya bakitani ya Loti. »
20 A land of giants, used, that also, to be accounted, —giants, dwelt therein aforetime, but the Ammonites, called them Zamzummim:
Mboka yango mpe emonanaki lokola mboka oyo bato ya Refayimi bazalaki kovanda. Kasi bato ya Amoni bazalaki kobenga bato ya Refayimi: bato ya Zamizumi.
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:
Bazalaki makasi mpe ebele, bingambe kaka lokola bana ya Anaki. Kasi Yawe abomaki bango liboso ya bato ya Amoni. Bato ya Amoni babenganaki bato ya Zamizumi mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango.
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.
Yawe asalaki mpe ndenge wana mpo na bakitani ya Ezawu oyo bazalaki kovanda na Seiri tango abomaki bato ya Ori liboso na bango. Bakitani ya Ezawu babenganaki bato ya Ori mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango kino na mokolo ya lelo.
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.
Ezalaki mpe ndenge moko mpo na bato na Avi oyo bazalaki kovanda na mboka yango kino na Gaza. Bato ya Kafitori, oyo bawuta na mokili ya Kafitori, babomaki bato ya Avi mpe bakomaki kovanda na bisika na bango.
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.
Yawe alobaki: « Botelema, bokende mpe bokatisa lubwaku ya Arinoni. Nakabi na maboko na bino, Sikoni, moto ya Amori mpe mokonzi na Eshiboni, elongo na mokili na ye. Bobanda kobundisa yango mpe bokamata yango.
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.
Lelo, nakosala ete mabota nyonso ya mokili ezala na somo mpe kobanga liboso na bino. Bakoyoka sango ya makambo oyo bokosala, bongo bakolenga mpe bakozanga kimia likolo na bino. »
26 So I sent messengers out of the desert of Kademoth, unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, —with words of peace saying:
Wuta na esobe ya Kedemoti, natindaki bantoma epai ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya Eshiboni, na maloba ya kimia.
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:
Nalobaki: « Tobondeli yo, tika biso tolekela na mokili na yo. Tokoleka kaka na nzela ya monene, tokobaluka te ezala na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi to ya mobali.
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; —
Okotekela biso biloko ya kolia mpe mayi ya komela na motuya ya palata. Kasi tika biso kaka toleka na makolo
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.
ndenge bakitani ya Ezawu, oyo bavandaka na mokili ya Seiri, mpe bato ya Moabi, oyo bavandaka na Ari, basalelaki biso kino tokatisaki Yordani mpe tokotaki kati na mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesi biso. »
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).
Kasi Sikoni, mokonzi ya Eshiboni, aboyaki kopesa biso nzela ya kolekela na mokili na ye, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, akomisaki moto na ye makasi mpe motema na ye libanga, mpo na kokaba ye na maboko na bino ndenge asali lelo.
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.
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Tala, nabandi kokaba na maboko na bino Sikoni mpe mokili na ye. Banda kobotola yango mpe kamata yango. »
32 So then Sihon came out to meet us he, and all his people, to give battle at Jahaz.
Tango Sikoni elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso babimaki mpo na kobundisa biso na Yakatsi,
33 And Yahweh our God delivered him up before us, —and we smote him and his sons, and all his people
Yawe, Nzambe na biso, akabaki ye na maboko na biso mpe tobomaki ye, bana na ye ya mibali mpe mampinga na ye nyonso.
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:
Bongo, tobotolaki bingumba na ye nyonso, tobukaki bingumba nyonso, tobomaki mibali, basi mpe bana nyonso; totikaki ata moto moko te.
35 only the cattle, made we our prey, —and the spoil of the cities which we captured.
Kasi tomemaki mpo na biso: bibwele mpe bomengo ya bitumba oyo tokutaki na bingumba na bango.
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.
Longwa na Aroeri oyo ezali na suka ya lubwaku ya Arinoni, mpe longwa na engumba oyo ezali kati na lubwaku kino na Galadi, ezalaki na engumba moko te oyo elekaki biso na makasi. Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesaki biso yango nyonso.
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.
Kasi bopusanaki te na mokili ya bato ya Amoni, na ngambo nyonso ya lubwaku ya Yaboki, na bingumba ya bangomba, mpe na bisika nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apekisaki biso.
