Deuteronomy 2
1 And we turned and we set out the wilderness towards [the] way of [the] sea of reed[s] just as he had spoken Yahweh to me and we went around [the] hill country of Seir days many.
Kisha tukageuka nyuma na kusafiri kuelekea jangwani kwa njia inayoelekea Bahari ya Shamu, kama Bwana alivyonielekeza. Kwa muda mrefu tulitembea kuzunguka vilima katika nchi ya Seiri.
2 And he said Yahweh to me saying.
Kisha Bwana akaniambia,
3 [is] enough For you going round the hill country this turn yourselves north-ward.
“Umetembea kuzunguka hii nchi ya vilima kwa muda wa kutosha; sasa geukia kaskazini.
4 And the people command saying you [are] about to pass in [the] territory of relatives your [the] descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir so they may be afraid from you and you will take heed exceedingly.
Wape watu maagizo haya: ‘Mko karibu kupita katikati ya nchi ya ndugu zako ambao ni wazao wa Esau, ambao wanaishi Seiri. Watawaogopa, lakini mwe waangalifu.
5 May not you engage in strife with them for not I will give to you any of land their up to a treading place of [the] sole of a foot for a possession to Esau I have given [the] hill country of Seir.
Msiwachokoze kwa vita kwa maana sitawapa ninyi sehemu yoyote ya nchi yao, hata sehemu ya kutosha kuweka wayo wenu juu yake. Nimempa Esau nchi ya vilima ya Seiri kama yake mwenyewe.
6 Food you will buy from with them for silver and you will eat and also water you will buy from with them for silver and you will drink.
Mtawalipa fedha kwa chakula mtakachokula na maji mtakayokunywa.’”
7 For Yahweh God your he has blessed you in all [the] work of hand your he has known walking you the wilderness great this this - forty year[s] Yahweh God your [has been] with you not you have lacked anything.
Bwana Mungu wenu amewabariki kwa kazi yote ya mikono yenu. Amewalinda katika safari yenu katikati ya jangwa hili kubwa. Kwa miaka hii arobaini Bwana Mungu wenu amekuwa pamoja nanyi, na hamkupungukiwa na kitu chochote.
8 And we passed away from with relatives our [the] descendants of Esau who were dwelling in Seir from [the] way of the desert plain from Elath and from Ezion Geber. And we turned and we passed along [the] way of [the] wilderness of Moab.
Basi tulipita kwa ndugu zetu wazao wa Esau ambao wanaishi Seiri. Tuligeuka kutoka njia ya Araba ambayo inatokea Elathi na Esion-Geberi, tukasafiri kufuata njia ya jangwa la Moabu.
9 And he said Yahweh to me to you may provoke Moab and may not you engage in strife with them battle for not I will give to you any of land his a possession for to [the] descendants of Lot I have given Ar a possession.
Kisha Bwana akaniambia, “Usiwasumbue Wamoabu kwa vita, kwa kuwa sitawapa sehemu yoyote ya nchi yao. Nimetoa nchi ya Ari kwa wazao wa Loti kama milki yao.”
10 The Emites before they dwelt in it a people great and numerous and lofty like the Anakites.
(Waemi walikuwa wakiishi huko hapo zamani, watu wenye nguvu na wengi, warefu kama Waanaki.
11 Rephaites they were regarded also they like the Anakites and the Moabites they called them Emites.
Kama walivyokuwa Waanaki, hao pia walikuwa kama Warefai, lakini Wamoabu waliwaita Waemi.
12 And in Seir they dwelt the Horites before and [the] descendants of Esau they dispossessed them and they destroyed them from before them and they dwelt in place of them just as it did Israel to [the] land of possession its which he gave Yahweh to them.
Wahori waliishi Seiri, lakini wazao wa Esau waliwafukuza. Waliwaangamiza Wahori na kukaa mahali pao, kama Waisraeli walivyofanya katika nchi ambayo Bwana aliwapa kama milki yao.)
13 Now arise and pass over yourselves [the] wadi of Zered and we passed over [the] wadi of Zered.
Bwana akasema, “Sasa ondokeni mvuke Bonde la Zeredi.” Hivyo tukavuka bonde.
14 And the days which we walked - from Kadesh Barnea until that we passed over [the] wadi of Zered [were] thirty and eight year[s] until was finished all the generation [the] men of war from [the] midst of the camp just as he had sworn Yahweh to them.
Miaka thelathini na minane ilipita tangu wakati tulipoondoka Kadesh-Barnea mpaka tulipovuka Bonde la Zeredi. Kwa wakati huo kile kizazi chote cha wanaume kuanzia wale wawezao kwenda vitani kilikuwa kimekufa, kama Bwana alivyokuwa amewaapia.
15 And also [the] hand of Yahweh it was on them to disturb them from [the] midst of the camp until were finished they.
Mkono wa Bwana uliwakabili hadi alipowaangamiza wote huko kambini.
16 And it was just when they had finished all [the] men of war to die from [the] midst of the people.
Ikawa baada ya mtu wa mwisho kuanzia wale wawezao kwenda vitani kufa,
17 And he spoke Yahweh to me saying.
Bwana akaniambia,
18 You [are] about to pass over this day [the] border of Moab Ar.
“Leo utapita katika nchi ya Moabu huko Ari.
19 And you will draw near in front of [the] people of Ammon may not you provoke them and may not you engage in strife with them for not I will give any of [the] land of [the] people of Ammon to you a possession for to [the] descendants of Lot I have given it a possession.
Utakapokuja kwa Waamoni, msiwasumbue wala kuwachokoza kwa vita, kwa kuwa sitawapa ardhi yoyote iliyo ya Waamoni kuwa milki yenu. Nimeitoa kama milki ya wazao wa Loti.”
20 [the] land of [the] Rephaites It was regarded also it [the] Rephaites they dwelt in it before and the Ammonites they called them Zamzummites.
(Hiyo pia ilidhaniwa kuwa nchi ya Warefai waliokuwa wakiishi huko, lakini Waamoni waliwaita Wazamzumi.
21 A people great and numerous and lofty like the Anakites and he destroyed them Yahweh from before them and they dispossessed them and they dwelt in place of them.
Walikuwa watu wenye nguvu na wengi, warefu kama Waanaki. Bwana akawaangamiza kutoka mbele ya Waamoni, ambao waliwafukuza na kukaa mahali pao.
22 Just as he had done for [the] descendants of Esau who were dwelling in Seir whom he destroyed the Horite[s] from before them and they dispossessed them and they have dwelt in place of them until the day this.
Bwana alikuwa amefanya vivyo hivyo kwa wazao wa Esau, ambao waliishi Seiri, wakati alipowaangamiza Wahori watoke mbele yao. Waliwafukuza na wao wakaishi mahali pao mpaka leo.
23 And the Avvites who were dwelling in villages to Gaza [the] Caphtorites who came forth from Caphtor they destroyed them and they dwelt in place of them.
Nao Waavi ambao waliishi katika vijiji mpaka Gaza, Wakaftori waliokuja kutoka Kaftori waliwaangamiza na kukaa mahali pao.)
24 Arise set out and pass over [the] wadi of Arnon see I give in hand your Sihon [the] king of Heshbon the Amorite and land his begin take possession of [it] and engage in strife with him battle.
“Ondoka sasa na uvuke Bonde la Arnoni. Tazama, nimemweka mikononi mwako Sihoni Mwamori, mfalme wa Heshboni na nchi yake. Anza kuimiliki nchi hiyo na umwingize katika vita.
25 The day this I will begin to put dread your and fear your on [the] face of the peoples under all the heavens who they will hear! report your and they will tremble and they will be in anguish because of you.
Siku hii ya leo nitaanza kuwatia hofu na woga mataifa yote chini ya mbingu wawaogope ninyi. Watakaposikia taarifa zenu, watatetemeka na kufadhaika kwa sababu yenu.”
26 And I sent messengers from [the] wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon [the] king of Heshbon words of peace saying.
Kutoka jangwa la Kedemothi nilituma wajumbe wenye maneno ya amani kwa Sihoni mfalme wa Heshboni kusema,
27 Let me pass in land your on the road on the road I will go not I will turn aside right [hand] and left [hand].
“Turuhusu tupite katika nchi yako. Tutapita katika barabara kuu, hatutageuka kuume wala kushoto.
28 Food for silver you will sell me and I will eat and water for silver you will give to me and I will drink only let me pass through on feet my.
Tuuzie chakula tule na maji tunywe kwa thamani yake katika fedha. Turuhusu tu tupite kwa miguu,
29 Just as they did for me [the] descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar until that I will pass over the Jordan into the land which Yahweh God our [is] about to give to us.
kama wazao wa Esau ambao wanaishi Seiri na Wamoabu ambao wanaishi Ari walivyotufanyia, mpaka tuvuke Yordani kuingia nchi ambayo Bwana Mungu wetu anatupatia.”
30 And not he was willing Sihon [the] king of Heshbon to let pass us in him for he had made stubborn Yahweh God your spirit his and he had made obstinate heart his so as to give him in hand your as the day this.
Lakini Sihoni mfalme wa Heshboni alikataa kuturuhusu kupita. Kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu wako alikuwa ameifanya roho yake kuwa ngumu na moyo wake kuwa mkaidi ili amweke kwenye mikono yenu, kama alivyofanya sasa.
31 And he said Yahweh to me see I have begun to deliver up before you Sihon and land his begin take possession to take possession of land his.
Bwana akaniambia, “Tazama, nimeanza kuwapa Mfalme Sihoni na nchi yake kwako. Sasa anzeni kuishinda na kuimiliki nchi yake.”
32 And he came forth Sihon to meet us he and all people his for battle Jahaz towards.
Wakati Sihoni pamoja na jeshi lake lote walipokuja kukutana nasi katika vita huko Yahazi,
33 And he delivered up him Yahweh God our before us and we struck down him and (sons his *Q(K)*) and all people his.
Bwana Mungu wetu alimweka mikononi mwetu, nasi tukamwangamiza pamoja na wanawe na jeshi lake lote.
34 And we captured all cities his at the time that and we totally destroyed every city of men and the women and the little one[s] not we spared a survivor.
Kwa wakati ule tuliteka miji yake yote na kuiangamiza kabisa: wanaume, wanawake na watoto. Hatukumwacha yeyote.
35 Only the livestock we plundered for ourselves and [the] booty of the cities which we had captured.
Lakini mifugo na nyara tulizoziteka kutoka ile miji tulijichukulia wenyewe.
36 From Aroer which [is] on [the] edge of [the] wadi of Arnon and the city which [is] in the wadi and to Gilead not it was a town which it was [too] high for us every one he delivered up Yahweh God our before us.
Kutoka Aroeri kwenye ukingo wa Bonde la Arnoni, kutoka mji ulio ndani ya bonde, hata mpaka Gileadi, hapakuwa na mji hata mmoja uliokuwa na nguvu kutushinda. Bwana Mungu wetu alitupa yote.
37 Only to [the] land of [the] people of Ammon not you drew near all [the] side of [the] wadi of Jabbok and [the] cities of the hill country and all that he had commanded Yahweh God our.
Lakini kulingana na amri ya Bwana Mungu wetu, hamkujiingiza katika nchi yoyote ya Waamoni, wala katika sehemu yoyote iliyo kandokando ya Mto Yaboki, wala katika miji iliyoko katika vilima.
